It was time for skid to go. Lila decided it was too dangerous to stay in this town, especially with all the children being kidnapped lately. I didn't want to leave this town. It was my home! I loved this place so much. And im gonna miss my friend, pump too. We did everything together.

When we were scared, we were there for each other. We met mr clown together, we met eyes together, i couldn't just leave pump! When i told him i was leaving yesterday, he looked so sad.

"What?! Your leaving? Why!?" He asked. They were playing in skids room. Pump dropped everything. "Im..im sorry pump! I wish i could stay longer!" I was tearing up, and so was pump. We decided to make the most of our last day together. We did so many things that day, like playing with mr clown, and eyes, getting candy cans from Kevin, riding around town with frank, went to gensomooru, said my goodbyes to the hatzgang, even visited the house on the hill where we met that scary stranger!

I was taken out of my thoughts by someone...yelling my name? I turned my head to see pump sprinting towards me. He tackle hugged me. We kept hugging for a while. I noticed pump was crying. I wanted to make him feel better. I couldn't leave him here to sob about me going away! Oh! I remember!

I ran back into the house, and grabbed two small objects. I ran back to pump, who was still sulking. I opened my fist to him, to reveal our friendship bracelets we made when we were younger. I gave him my friendship bracelet and kept the one with his name on it. "To remember me by! Dont lose it!" I told him. He started tearing up again.

"Skid! We have to go, its a long drive to our destination!" Mom yelled from the car. Pump was crying again. I gave him a huge bear hug, and smiled. I was starting to cry too. "Ill miss you, pump!" I said. "I-ill mi-ss you too s-skid!" His voice was choked up by how much he was crying. I waved solemnly before reluctantly getting into the car. I rolled down the window, and waved until he was out of sight.

I just got home from 8th grade. It was the same as always, getting picked on by the other kids for not being as social as them. On bad days, i'd come home with bloody noses, or bruises. Thankfully, no homework today.

When i walked through the door, mom looked especially cheery. I asked her why she was so happy and she responded, "do you remember pump?" Of course I remember pump! He was my only friend back in my old town. "Yeah, why?" I asked. "I just got a call from pump's parents! They've moved here!" Mom exclaimed. My eyes lit up. There was no way he was back. "He just moved yesterday! I can drive you to his house if you want." Lila offered. He immediately agreed.

Once he got there, he ran up to the steps and knocked on the door. He was ecstatic. He finally gets to see pump again! After what seemed like an eternity of waiting, the door opened, and out stepped pump. We didn't see each other without our costumes on often. He wasn't wearing his pumpkin costume he used to wear.

He has poofy ginger hair, it looks as soft as a cloud. His face was speckled with light freckles above his nose. His light brown eyes stared into my lavender ones until he realized who I was. "Skid? Is that you? There's no way!" Pump said in disbelief. "Yep! It's me, skid!" I said. He rushed towards me, and tackle hugged me, just like he always did when they were younger.

"I missed you so much, skid! I was so lost when you left!" Pump was starting to cry again. He always was the more emotional one. "I'll let you two bond for a while. I'll pick you up in 2 hours skid! Have fun!" Mom yelled, before driving off. Pump put his arm on my shoulder as we walked inside. "Hey pump, you remember spooky month?"
