Chapter One; Best Friends Forever
The song in this chapter is Friends For Life from The Fox and The Hound 2.
Chucky and Mary raced through the wide open meadow busting out laughing as they ran straight towards the woods. They were having so much fun that they didn't even care that it was hot and sticky outside, besides they knew how cool and shady the woods and Mary continued to laugh and play as they ran past their treehouse and rushed down to the creek Chucky and Mary reached the creek they ran and splashed straight into the water before they raced up a hill that was by their old rope swing. Mary swung off of it first and landed with a huge splash into the river below them before Chucky took his took a deep breath of air as he came back up to the surface and started to splash and play along with Mary, before turning around onto his back and started to backstroke through the water while he kicked through it.
Precisely at that moment Chucky dove under the water and came back up to the surface behind Mary spitting out a mouthful of water at her back. "Hey!" Mary cried as she busted into a fit of squeals and laughter with Chucky as they started to splash each other back and forth.
"Chucky Mary let's go!" The two of them instantly stopped playing and looked up at Kristen that was standing over them with an angry look upon her face. Chucky gulped as he tilted his head back up to look at her. "Hey Mrs. Barclay." He said anxiously while she placed her hands upon her hips. "I have been looking for you guys everywhere, your supper's getting cold!" she snapped.
"Oh come on Mom, we we're only having a little bit of fun." Mary said as she climbed out onto the riverbank. Meanwhile Chucky climbed out behind her and shook himself like a dog before hitting the side of his head hoping that the water inside his ear would drain out. "I know darling, but school's almost starting and you have to stop staying out so late." Her mother warned while she dried herself off. "And Chucky, you'll do well as to setting a good example for her or you're going into the closet again. Understood?" she asked him as he simply folded his arms and turned his back. "Yes, Mrs. Barclay!" he mocked with a roll of his eyes.
Chucky turned back to Mary as soon as she was out of sight. "I swear, it's like all of a sudden she's become my mother too." He told her. Later that evening while Mary was getting ready for bed, Chucky sat on top of the windowsill and gazed out at the stars. "What are you doing?" Mary asked him as she came into the room. Chucky gasped and quickly turned to look at her. "Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about something." He answered.
"Like what?" she asked him as she climbed into bed. "Well I'm supposed to be psychotic serial killing doll, but yet I'm best friends with a seven and a half year old little girl." He explained. "So? I'm friends with Glen and Tiffany too." She said. "I know, and that's a good thing. I just meant that if I'm lucky enough to have such special friends and family members, then I just wish there was some way to make it all last forever." He explained.
"Yeah me too. A lot of my best friends have moved away, and I really don't want to go through that again." Mary said sadly as she heaved a heavy sigh. "You don't have anything to worry about, I'm not going anywhere." Chucky assured her. "And what have I always told you about the promises that I make?" he questioned her. "That you never break any of them." She answered.
"That's right. Now you may not always be a little girl, but the one thing that I can promise is that I'll always love you and we'll always be friends." He said. "Till the end?" she asked him as she extended her pinkie. "You bet." Chucky whispered with a grin as he interlocked his own and then they pulled them apart inside the air with another laugh.
