You didn't often get to have playdates, and when you did they were usually quite boring. Not with Skid though. Spending time with him was never boring. You met him, what, two years ago, when you were both five? And ever since you'd been pretty close. Not as close as him and Pump, of course, but still close. Today, you came over for the playdate as usual, Lila greeting you happily but tiredly. You didn't notice, tough, and went to play with Skid. Skid could never decide on what to do. First you colored, then you played dragons, then you played tag and then hide and seek that kind of sucked since it was only you two. And then with his normal excited tone he suggested Legos, pulling out a box of them and dumping them onto the carpet for you two and his mom to clean later, probably.

"Look, I made a dinosaur!" Skid made the blocky creature stomp around, laughing with delight while he shoved the head down into piles of other Legos. "Om-nom-nom-nom!!" He went back to stomping it around, standing up and practically sprinting across his room before returning and making it "eat" your hair. "It's hungry!"
