Chapter Text
'Okay... You've done dis dat one time befowe... Just balance...' I thought to myself as I hesitantly put a foot on the new skateboard.
6 year old me was going to try and ride it a bit down the walkway from the front door, it wasnt a lot of room but it seemed fine to me back then.
(His house probably doesnt have a front walkway, but whatever)
I readied my foot, and slowly pushed off, I started rolling, after a few moments I kicked again but much harder, I was almost halfway down the walkway when-
"OWIE!"
The skateboard had hit something, I went flying forward and my face slammed against the ground, my whole body ached and stung.
I tried to open my eyes but that stung too, i whimpered and rubbed the dirt out of them.
"Are you okay?"
I opened my eyes again and turned around, on the sidewalk is a teddy bear nibbling on half a donut "You took quite a spill..."
"Y-yeah, I'm okay" I replied, it was mostly a lie, I still stung pretty badly.
"Hm..." he walks over to me and sits next to me "Lemme see" he puts the donut in his mouth and grabs my hand to look at my palm.
"Yuwr hands sticky..." "Cush uf dish donuh" he says stil holding it in his mouth.
He pushes a bit of my fur out of the way then takes the donut out of his mouth "Its kinda scratched..." he says "...is it bleedin..?" "A little..."
I felt a bit dizzy, just by the thought of blood, he mustve noticed the grossed out look on my face "Uh... I... I mean it isnt that bad... its just... kinda red, I think its not actually really pokes out it-" "Its okay, just please stap decwibing it..." "Sorry"
He lets go of my hand and takes another bite of his donut, speaking with a mouthful "fI'm PJ, by dhe wayh" "I'm PaRappa!" I say with a smile "Like after the founder?" He asks "...what?"
"Nevermind, so, youre a boy right?" "Eh?? You cant tewll?" He shrugs "Your voice doesnt make it that clear" "What kinda giwl wides skateboawds?" "I dunno... you talk funny" "my dad says I'll gwow out of it..." "Hm."
He stands up and finishes off his donut "Hey... do you have any uh, friends?"
I think for a moment as I get up "uh... Nawht weally..." I look at my feet
"Me neither." He says "We should hang out." "OK!" I reply exitedly
And thats how I met my best friend.

"You were cute back then, I mean, youre cute now but-"
"PJ."
"What? You had that cute wittwe way of nawht knowin how to pwonouce awes" he smirks at me.
"It wasnt dat dwastic... OH RODNEY PJ NOW YOU GOT ME THINKING ABOUT IT!!!"
He laughs "Cute."
I glare at him "Sometimes I wonder if you're actually in love with me..."
"Oh you have no idea..."
"What."
"Im kidding bro! Jeez, just calm down..."
