A New Friend


This story was written around 1989, making me 7-ish when I wrote it. I found this at the same time I found my old journals from second grade. I also discovered that my handwriting has not improved since then.

This cute picture is the stuffed animal this story is based around:

Furry One
        I was cleaning my room. Again. But what I wanted to do is go to the movies with Jennifer and Melinda, my friends who live close to me.
        Let me tell you about me and my family. My dad. He's nice and funny. My mom now. She's okay, but worries alot. My sister is nice, but only if you don't bug her. My brother. Here's one word to describe him. WILD. Okay. Let me get on with the story. I slumped on the bed and grabbed Furry One, my stuffed cat. "No fair," I said loudly. "I have to clean up after pigs."
        I finished my room. So I jumped on the bed. Also clutching Furry One. BOING. BOP. "Ouch!" I cried. I was on the floor. I sighed. "Meow!" cried Furry One. I could not believe it. I jumped back. "Don't be afraid, I just came to have fun." she said. So, we bopped around. Then I stopped. "Hungry?" I asked. She nodded. I got my biggest jewelry box and... fell asleep.
        Yawning, I woke up about midnight. I woke Furry One up. We got some Butterfingers. Then we decided to watch Halloween. When thunder crashed, I yelped. We turned off the movie and TV in time. The electricity went out.
        "AUGHH!" Furry One cried and I put my finger to my mouth. Then I started to bop around. We bopped and sang songs till the electricity came back on. I turned the TV on, got a blanket and fell asleep.
        The next morning I was feeling good, so I invited Sally and Brittany, my cousins over. When they came we went into my room to party.
        Furry One had woken up Peter Rabbit and Flopsie Bunny.
        Then we got wild. I had some melted marshmallows and then Brittany pushed Sally's face in. Do you know how sticky marshmallows are? Sally came up glaring at Brittany. It was downhill there. Brittany went home with marshmallow hair, grubby fingers and chocolate lips. Sally went home with chocolate hair, marshmallow face, and popcorn shirt. I wish Furry One would come. AGAIN.
