A few months passed, my mom planned a playdate for me and my siblings. A knock on the door can be heard. She walks up to it. Then opens it. Behind it is Cecilia Warren, a female skunk.

"Howdy, Cecelia!" greeted mom with a smile. "Hello, Bertha, it's nice to see you," Cecelia replied. "Did you get my message about the baby?" asked my mom. "Yes, I did." answered as she stepped inside. Mom looked at a baby skunk beside her. "Who's this?" she asked her. "This is my son, Derek, it's his first playdate."

She follows them to her room, towards me sleeping in my crib. "Aww, he's so cute" Cecelia cooed. My mom picked me up and sets me onto the playmat. "D-d-d-" I stutter. "He's going to say his first word!" mom gasped. Dad walks in. "Really?" he asked. Everyone looked at me with amazement. Then, it happened. "Deweeg!"

"I thought he was gonna say dada?" dad said concerned. "I think he said Derek." mom answered. "Derek, did you hear that? Josh said your name!" Cecilia exclaimed. "Can your kid talk?" dad asked. "Uhh, no, he never said anything, really."

"Tosh!" Derek spoke for the first time. He and I both looked at each other, got close, and started to hug. "Aww!" everyone cooed. And with that, Derek became my first friend!
