"Barney, since I helped you make friends, could I make friends?"

Barney looked surprised once Ron told him that question. It had already been only a few days since Ron came back, and while the two were just laying on the grass together (like they always did), Ron just blurted it out of the blue. "Well, yeah." Barney replied, "You can't just have me for a friend. You can make your own friends!"

With a DING, Ron suddenly got up, adjusted his red hat that Barney had regifted him with, and started rolling back into Nonsuch. "Where are you going?" Barney wondered. "I am a B*Bot. I am for making friends. I'm going to make my own friends." Ron responded, "You taught me. Remember? Friendship is a two-way street. You have your friends to hang out with, Barney. You were my only friend, but now it's time for me to find friends of my own." And with that, Barney smiled as Ron left for town, destined to find himself some B*Bot friends.

Ron rolled around Nonsuch, looking for friends. He passed a few humans and high-fived them, he saw a dog (who just looked at him confused), and he even passed a woman in a car who just said "Hi" back as she drove on by. Ron looked everywhere in Nonsuch for friends, but no one really interested him just yet. It wasn't until he got to Savannah's backyard that Ron smiled, hoping he would let her B*Bot be his friend.

"Savannah?" Ron said, looking around for her. He found her sitting on her lawn chair, sun-tanning. "Ron?" She said as she took off her sunglasses. She took one look at him again. "Hi!" "Ron! You came back!" Savannah practically shouted in excitement as she gave him a hug, "What are you doing here?" "I am looking for friends. Barney told me since I helped him make friends, I could have my own B*Bot friends too." "Great idea, Ron." Savannah agreed, "In fact, I have the perfect friend for you: Kelly!"

Just then, Kelly (Savannah's cat B*Bot) came rushing over. "Hi, Ron!" She said excitedly, shaking Ron's hand, "My name's Kelly! It's so nice to meet you!" "Nice to meet you too, Kelly. I am RONBINSCATSCO, but my friends call me Ron! Did you know I hit Rich Belcher a few days yesterday? It was awesome, but terrible, but awesome!" Ron glitchily responded. "Ron, I think you're glitching again. Are you feeling okay?" Savannah said, nervously worried for him. "Don't w-...worry, guys! I'm feeling just p-p-...peachy keen!" Ron suddenly started doing the "Diki Daka" dance.

"Ron. Ron? Ron? Ron!" Kelly waved at him, trying to get his attention. Ron stopped and said "At least I'm not Uncle Boris." "What does that even mean?" Savannah said. Kelly just shrugged. Ron was back to dancing again as she circled around him, trying to get him to stop. Right when Ron was about to finish, Kelly slapped him with her hand, putting Ron in a daze. He fell to the floor, but then he rebooted. Once Ron got back up, he asked "Kelly, could you be my friend?" "Well, of course I can!" Kelly scanned Ron and friended him, while Ron said "Friend request!" and smacked on a small sticky note with a pink heart on it. "There you go!" Ron agreed happily. "Oh, Ron! You're so silly!" Kelly laughed as Ron gave her a hug. "Kelly, I'm so glad that you are now my best friend out of your box!"

"Ron, I bet we can make another friend, and then the three of us could have a whole day to know all about each other! What do you think?" Kelly said, formulating a plan. "That sounds like fun. No problem! I'll look in my database to find out how to do it." Ron said. With a loud, screechy dial-up noise, Ron thought up an whole itinerary for him, Kelly, and their third friend. "Idea created!" Ron said. "Great! Tell me it." Kelly replied. "We could go find our third friend, then go out into the woods to bond." Ron said, projecting the schedule. "Perfect! I know you two will make lots of new friends!" Savannah said. "More friends to bond with, here we come! Woo hoo!" Ron said as he grabbed Kelly's hand. And so, the two B*Bots raced off to find their third friend.
