JBD Entry #2

[Moonskye]

I have many great friends, so I’ll tell you how I met them…
It started with a hot summer day in August. Firework was lying around, panting, when he suddenly had the most brilliant idea. He’d go to the pond! The pond was cool and relaxing, perfect for the scorching weather. Firework ran inside to let his mother know where he was going. After letting her know, he sprinted down the hot asphalt towards the pond, no longer caring about the weather. As Firework reached the pond, he saw a rock outcropping that was just calling for him to jump off of. He scrambled down to it, and jumped off into the pond with a “Wahoo!” When he came up for air, he saw a magenta JBD glaring at him.

“You almost wrecked my film!” she exclaimed angrily.

“Sorry,” Firework replied sheepishly. “I didn't see you there.”

“Don’t mind her,” a high pitched voice said. Firework whipped his head to the side, and saw a green, blue, and white JBD examining him. “She just really loves her film,” the little JBD continued. I’m Fun Dip and this is Charlie, she said, pointing to the magenta JBD. “Over there is Bubblegum,” Fun Dip continued, as said JBD turned to look at the newcomer, “and underneath the tree, sleeping, are Squirrel and Ralaya,” she said, motioning to a red JBD and a tan JBD. “That,” she said, gesturing to Pourpre, “Is my best friend!” she ends proudly.

The magenta J- er… Charlie looks at Firework closer. “What’s your name, bro?”

“F-firework,” Firework stammered, the words suddenly stuck in his throat.

“Come on out then, Firework,” she says, extending a friendly paw.

Firework grabs her paw, immediately feeling warm, even in the cool water. What’s wrong with me? He wondered. He shook it off, and climbed out, smiling at all of the JBDs.

“Hey, do you want to be friends, all of us?” Fun Dip asked. Firework nodded, happy with his new friends.
