"Hey, Simon! Look at this!" Marcy rushed over to him, shoving a piece of gum in his face. He was confused at first at why she was so excited, but realized that it had a face. "It looks like it understands me when I'm talking to it, too! Isn't that cool?"

He chuckled. Her energy was a nice contrast to his calm. "That's wonderful, Marcy! Did you name it?" Her nose scrunched up.

"Hm... not yet. I like bonbons. Her name will be Bonnibel." The gum named Bonnibel appeared to be pleased. It seems like they had another companion on their wanderings.

"Hello, Bonnibel. It's nice to meet you." It smiled in return.

I'm sorry, but I won't update this story for a while. Probably a few months. I just returned to school.
