Write About Some Of Your Favourite Memories With Your Best Friend

My favourite memories with Luke, Resus and Cleo are all their original adventures, because they make you feel like you want to play with them as a kid and reunite with all their old CBBC and CBeebies friends. I remember the first adventure, when Luke's vacuum cleaner came to life and went on a rampage through Scream Street, and when it was Cleo's 'Deathday' and she froze time.

Another favourite memory is one I shared with Bluey when she was on Disney Junior - she, her dad, her sister Bingo and her friend Mackenzie went to the creek and enjoyed sailing boats, skimming stones and making a dam.

How Can You Be A Better Friend To Your Classmates?

I was wrong to display such negative behaviour at secondary school. One time, I shared some chocolate brownies I got from the Co-Op with my friends from the base, but if I were watching CBBC more I'd pay more attention to Mitchell, Becky, Templeton, Luke, Resus and Cleo, and if I started watching CBeebies again I would've spent more time with Tiny and Small and their friends.

If I displayed that same friendly attitude, I'd befriend shows Transformers Cybertron and Power Rangers Time Force on Kix...

Claude on Disney Junior....

Caillou and Postman Pat on Tiny Pop...

...and Guess How Much I Love You on Disney Junior.

When Is It Challenging To Be A Good Friend? How Do You Handle These Situations?

I never find it challenging to be a good friend and learn from my friends. It helps me interact with real people in the normal world quite easily.

I'd learn to play, share and greet new friends with open arms if I were ever to start another parasocial relationship. I'd see into my friends' problems, laugh and joke around with them and talk to them about their day.

With Simon, I've learnt to respect his way of life and see I would like him the same way I would've liked Postman Pat and Caillou on Tiny Pop.

What Are The Responsibilities Of Friendship?

The main responsibilities of friendship are to be honest and truthful to others and never tell a lie, be kind and considerate and see into each others' feelings, laugh with others and make them smile, be generous and give than take and be loyal and supportive to your group of friends.

I learnt all these by watching the second episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and I know now that I might be a descendant of Twilight Sparkle - or was I in my previous life? I'm sure I was a pony reincarnated into a human, but I like to reckon in another life, I'm a feral beast.

What Is The Nicest Thing A Friend Has Ever Done For You? How Did It Make You Feel?

I always love it when I get letters back from Factory and Ludo, because it feels like Luke, Resus, Cleo and Bluey have gotten in touch with me.

The nicest thing my friends have done for me is provide me with unforgettable adventures that bring inspiration for new stories, like Dog Loves Calm - it provided me with three places that make perfect story settings - Glowbone Island, Unicornia and Pug's Friendship Tree.

And Dog Loves Night provided me with a story idea about catching the moon, like Noddy the Silly did back in 1994, the year The Lion King came out.

Write About A Quality Your Best Friend Has That You Admire

Luke, Resus and Cleo don't annoy. They don't scream or do stupid, worthless acts for comedy, they believe in what's best for their family and friends and love to share in everything together as much as they love to share it with me.

Luke has the qualities I have - lazing about doing nothing, playing Zombie Kickboxer and trying to avoid homework and school.

Resus has a little brother-like attitude and always wants to follow you around. Cleo is wise and responsible and knows how to protect you when danger looms. They joke around like siblings. I wish they were my brothers and sisters.

What Qualities Do You Look For in Your Friends?

The qualities I look for in my friends include bravery, strength, cunning, warmth and love.

I look for someone who has the strength and brutality of a werewolf and loves to laze around playing Zombie Kickboxer with his friends all day.

I look for someone with blue fur who loves her family and friends and believes in tech-free play.

I look for someone who loves a good book and a good adventure away from his bookshop.

I look for someone who can cope with her disability and do whatever it takes to protect her pride.

I don't want to look for best friends who complain, scream and throw tantrums all the time.

I want friends I can get attached to.

Scream Street Bites - Off To School

The time had come at last. CBBC was going away to school. We know that it had anything to do with recent events, but this time I'm taking a break from CBBC until Scream Street returns. All everyone else knew was it had something to do with 'Bitesize' and how to make things called 'works of art' and annoying skits about history.

LUKE: Can't you just air an awesome cartoon about dinosaurs instead?

CBBC BOSS: Sorry, Luke, but children of Britain don't require you or the other residents of Scream Street.

ME: Guys...I'd like to talk to you for a minute.

LUKE: What is it?

ME: Well...erm....I've tried to be brave saying it, and I promise I'll keep a straight face when I say it....I'm leaving CBBC for now.

CLEO: WHAT?! You can't leave us!

ME: I'm going to spend time with Dog, Pug and Simon now, until you return.

CLEO: That's okay, they're our friends too.

RESUS: And we just want to say: thank you.

ME: Thank you? What kind of thank you?

LUKE: A thank you that you're grateful you kept us in your heart, and forever will be.

ME: No...I was going to say that. I thought I was going to lose Bluey forever, but now I've found her on Disney+. It's just like calling an Australian pen pal. Next week, and in the next few weeks that follow until you return, I'll make stories around you and the rest of my friends, and the parasocial relationships I form with you and the other best friends I've made are a part of who I am. They make me the best writer in the universe, and you should be proud I'm here to protect you from what comes out as the worst time. How's about you live with me for now? Since Tommy Donbavand's dead, I'm sure he won't mind.

LUKE: Sybil!

[Luke, Resus, Cleo and I engage in a group hug, us sobbing as we rejoice]

ME: I've been so stupid to ignore you. In my next life, I'll try to do what's right.

CLEO: Won't we miss you?

ME: There'll be more of us in every life, Cleo. Come on, one more race back home won't change our lives.

LUKE: You're on!

RESUS: Wait for me!

CLEO: Hey! I had the idea first!

We'll never know, but someday Scream Street will come back, delighting me in the process, and someday this year I'll be able to see Six and Dr. F again. If only! But now, my wishes for the future lie in my heart and their hands.

The White Bird: Lions In The Forest

All my 'White Bird' dreams are coming together now - this is one of them, and it explores the feral versions of Nothing and Hover that appear in I.B.F.Fs stories - Kyoga and Karabi.

Luke, Resus, Cleo, Luella and Six and I were still living in the forest completely naked, wild and free, and we were friends with Kyoga and Karabi's pride, which lived nearby in the clearing. We would play with cubs Kyoga, Karabi, Lite, Esther and Water as only children raised by animals can. We'd tumble about like the species Kyoga and her siblings are, we'd play on the swing that was tied to the branch of the tree, and we'd go to a large, cool lake with a waterfall and a few lily pads and splash about freely.

Which reminds me: I've finally decided to do 'The White Bird' as the 'New Generation I.B.F.Fs' equivalent of last decade's 'The Eagle's Nest', except it has characters from the new season of Scream Street and My Pride joining in, and it'll have a wild forest setting. Once again, I was inspired by a bit in 'The Dare Game' to do this story, and what starts as a simple story and a set of dreams can turn into a big story about living in the wild.
