Imaginary Therapy

Excitement's Secret

"This bites!" Bloo yelled, and everyone around him agreed.

After a few weeks of going to Foster's Kimi and Namu had met all of Mac's friends. They met the 'broken' friend Wilt and the skittish Spanglish speaking 'monster' Edwardo. And then, there was Coco, who had almost given Kimi a heart attack when she started laying a bunch of eggs.

"Totally," Mac agreed, "It's the middle of January and there's no snow on the ground!"

It was Saturday and Kimi, Namu, Bloo, Mac, Coco, Wilt, and Edwardo were sitting on the porch steps. For three months Kimi and Namu had been coming to Foster's and already the once practically mute little girl talked almost as much as any other child.

Mac looked over at Kimi and saw her white wolf nudge her gently with his snow-white muzzle. The brown-haired girl cupped the sides of Namu's muzzle and stared up at him with adoring eyes. It was their way of showing their love for each other, kind of like when Bloo tackles Mac.

The massive wolf was lying down by Kimi who was leaning against the banister. Suddenly, Namu stood up and walked into the middle of the yard, that was when Mac realized they, Kimi and Namu, had been silently deciding something.

Then, for some reason, Mac remembered when the wolf first spoke; everyone's jaws had dropped to the floor.

"What's he doing?" Mac asked Kimi.

It was one of those few times Kimi smiled, not out of being nervous, but just for one person. "You'll see."

Unable to do much else, Mac and the other imaginary friends watched and wondered what Namu was doing.

Namu's long graceful stride stopped in the middle of the front yard. Then he raised his head to the sky and howled. They had never seen the regal wolf act so close to his real counterpart, and it awed them.

Snow began to fall incredibly heavy, quickly accumulating on the brown ground. Everyone's mouths once again dropped because of the white wolf. He stopped howling and sat down watching them silently. No one made a sound in the frigid air; they were still unable to truly grasp what happened.

Soon, Kimi stood and scampered over to her imaginary wolf. The snow began to slow, with there being about 2 or 3 inches on the ground by now, and eventually stopped. Namu pushed Kimi into the snow with his cool nose, and his ears were perked up at the musical sound of Kimi's giggles.

Kimi lowered herself onto her back and began to make snow angels. It was then that Mac and the other friends on the porch finally snapped out of their shock and run to start playing.

4:30

"Kimi," Namu began, his lips pulled back during the second syllable giving everyone a glimpse of his white-sharp teeth.

Sadly, Kimi nodded; she had not wanted the day to end. Somberly, she set down her hot coco and donned her winter wear. Following her small tradition, she said good bye and thanks for the fun time.

It all seemed normal but then the strangest thing happened. Kimi hugged Mac before running home; never before had she touched anyone at the house except for tag. Thus, everyone wondered why she did it.

Next Day

Huge smiles were plastered on everyone's face at Foster's, except Duchess of course. And they waited for Kimi, Namu, and Mac to come. It proceeded like that for the next few days; they would wait, Mac would come but there would be no Kimi and Namu.

Monday 3PM

Mac opened the door and went inside Foster's house, his face was crestfallen. Bloo came running up to his friend, prepared to tell him all the things he did.

Before his blue friend could start, Mac said in a voice that stopped Bloo's good mood with only two words. "She moved."

This chapter and the last one were just back ground chapters. The next chapter is going to take place years later in their lives, so it won't be so creepy. I hope that clarified things for you guys.

As always, all reviews are welcome except ones telling me how horrible at grammar I am.

Thanks for reading this
