As they watched the A-pod walk silently back into the forrest, it gave them both a very sad feeling. They looked at each other and wondered why he didnt have any friends. Pink spoke first, "Scary, why doesnt anyone like the Arronopods? How come they dont have any friends? Look at him, he looks so sad." She was right. The arronopods head was hanging so low, and every once in a while, his whole body would shake. Even from across the river, they could see it. Pink thought for sure he was crying. Poor Arronopod.
When Scary answered, Pink was very surprised to hear what he said. " I dont know why he doesnt have friends, Pink. Maybe if he had a friend, they would find he was fun, and not pesky. Want to swim back and see if he wants to play?"
Pink was so happy to hear this. She couldnt bear to watch this other dinosaur be so sad. She knew they were always alone, but she didnt know why. This was a good time to make a new friend. Since Scary had a louder voice, he called out to the A-pod to stop. They both jumped back into the river to swim back across. The A-pod didnt hear, so Scary screamed again, and Pink joined in. They were both screaming for the A-pod to stop.
They saw him stop and turn around. He was looking at them from the edge of the forest. He almost disappeared. They almost lost another friend. They yelled at him to stop, they wanted to play with him. The Arronopod had heard this before from other, bigger dinosaurs. He had been fooled a lot of times into thinking they wanted to be his friend. He didnt want to be fooled again, so he turned one more time to go back into the forest.
"PLEASE STOP!" yelled Pink and Scary at the same time. They were swimming as fast as they could to get to the other side. It was harder to swim back across the river because of the way the river turned. But they kept on swimming. Pink was getting very tired, but she wasnt going to stop. She had to get back to the A-pod. She had to make him feel better. She wanted to be his friend. Scary was right beside her, making sure she was able to make it back across. She was his best friend, he couldnt let anything happen to her.
It seemed like forever, but they finally crawled out of the river. They could only lay there for a few minutes. They were so tired, but they checked to make sure the A-pod wass still there. When they looked up, they could see he was still standing there. A smile was starting to appear on his A-pod face. He walked closer to the other dinosaurs, slowly, because he didnt know what they were going to do. He was just a friendly kind of Pod, he just wanted to play, that is all. If only someone would play with him.
When Pink and Scary caught their breath, they asked the A-pod what he was called. He replied"my mom calls me A-ron, so i guess if you want to be my friend, you can call me that too. "
