Chapter 2: Friends in the Park

As Emily, her mom and Clifford walked around town, Clifford was enjoying all of the sights and smells. Suddenly, Clifford saw Nina and her dachshund Jorge hanging out in the park. Luckily, Emily Elizabeth and her mom saw them too and they walked over towards the park. While Nina talked with Emily and her mom, Clifford talked to Jorge.

"Hi Jorge. How are you?" Clifford greeted kindly.

"Hello Clifford, it's been so long since I saw you as a puppy. Glad to see you too!" Jorge replied with a smile. Suddenly, two kittens ran over to the two dogs and stopped in front of them.

"Hi Clifford!" The two kittens said. It turns out the kittens were Flo and Zo, Clifford's kitten friends.

"Hi Flo and Zo. Nice to see you again," Clifford responded before Jorge greeted the kittens too.

"Hey Clifford, look who's coming to see us!" Joge said as he looked up. The kittens and Clifford looked up too as a familiar green bird landed next to them.

"Hello Clifford. Hello Jorge. Hello Flo and Zo," the green bird said kindly.

"Hello Norville," the four friends replied with smiles on their faces.

"So Clifford, how are you?" Norville asked.

"I'm doing good. Thank on Norvile," Clifford replied.

"You're welcome, Clifford. Besides, it looks like I can't call you 'pup' or 'little red' anymore!" Norville commented. Everyone laughed after hearing what Norville said.

"No, Norville. I guess you can't! Maybe you could call me big red instead," Clifford replied kindly.

"'Big red'? That's a good idea, Clifford! I like it!" Norville replied. Eventually, after some more talking with his friends, Clifford hear Emily Elizabeth call him and tell him it was time to leave.

"It was nice seeing you guys again. See you later! Bye!" Clifford said before running back over to Emily again.

"Bye Clifford!" his friends called back. As Clifford started heading home however, he couldn't help but feel happy to see his friends again.
