Rubber Ball's POV:

I can't believe that Clipboard is going to teach me how to talk. She didn't even know I existed 10 minutes ago, yet she wants to help. She told me how she got here and that she wanted to know what was down here. "So that's pretty much it. But we're getting sidetracked." She said. "Let's start with you saying hello. Think of the word 'hello' and try to pronounce it, ok?" I tried thinking of the word. Hello. H-e-ll-o. Hello.

"H-hel-hello...?" I said.

"You did it! You just said your first word!" Clipboard said.

I did? I did! "I can't believe it!" I said.

"Woah, you learn quick! You just said a whole sentence without even trying!" She said shocked. "It usually takes a normal object a couple of years to be able to speak."

"I guess that's a bonus of being an object with super natural powers." I said proudly.

"Yeah, ok sure. The superpowers are the second coolest thing, and being able to talk is the first. It's not like every other object can talk." Clipboard said jokingly.
