It's like afternoon now, I'm just sitting here surrounded by bamboo, will I draw? Maybe. I am carving an outfit idea and how to draw pigtails into a bamboo tree after all. Ever since I saw Garu, that man has grown on me I think. Like in a "Oh my God he is so cool" kinda way. So, I thought, maybe if I drew something for him, then he would like it or something? I dunno. I always felt insecure around people I liked, especially my art. I just hope he likes it...
3 hours has passed, and I'm finally done with it!

I'm soooo proud of it. I look up and things have got darker. Its almost sunset already!? Whatever.. I get up with my drawing, roll it up, and head to Garu's house.
(GARU POV)
I sit here and focus, breathing in, and out. Hearing nothing but nature around me, the birds, the occasional cicada, and the gently swaying bamboo trees.
I then hear a rustling bush and open my eyes, I look over to the bush and see a head with two big balls on it.. Oh no.. its probably Pucca again..
A rat then comes out of the bushes. Is this the rat that Abyo was arguing with earlier? Why is he here? I look at him, he appears to be nervous and holding some kind of scroll in his hands.
"Uh-h-hi Garu!" the rat gulps, "I made something for you,"
The rat holds the scroll up and I walk over to him.
The rat gives me the scroll, "I-I hope you like it man! I spent a couple hours on it heh.."
Open the scroll. The scroll holds a cartoony drawing of me in it, and it's very well drawn. The colors are nice, even though its just red, black, and white tinted with red. The clothes I'm wearing in this isn't my usual attire, let alone nothing I've seen before, but it does look cool. I smile and look at him.
"Y-you like it?" The rat smiles and wags his tail,
I nod at him and go in my house, to put the drawing on my wall. I've never had this happen before, I mean, I did receive gifts in the past but not a DRAWING before.
"Ooh! I don't think I've introduced myself heh,," The rat says, walk out of my house and look at him, "Name is Darren, I got here like... a couple days ago, I don't know how but hey. I'm here,"
I walk over back to my usual sitting spot and sit down, my cat, Mio walks up to me. I smile at him and pet him, and he starts purring. He walks up to the rat, who crouches and pets Mio.
"Awww kittyyyy!!" Darren squeaks,
Darren pets Mio for a while, but then "Uh- I-I should get going huh?"
I look at him as he starts walking towards the bushes, "I-it was nice hangin with ya, maybe we would hang out more sometime."
I honestly don't mind that. I feel a slight blush appear on my face.
"Uh.. let me know if ya need anything man! See ya." Darren then leaves, into the bushes. I go back to meditating. Last thing I see is Mio chasing a butterfly before I close my eyes and breathe deeply.
