There was one time when a racoon family was waiting for their first baby, they were so excited and the mom racoon said to dad racoon: You know, I’m really excited because its going to be our first baby racoon said mom racoon. “Yes, me too’’ said dad racoon, I really hope all goes well. Time passed by and the day came, both of them were really excited, a little while passed and there it was, Their first baby racoon. They both cried out of happiness and they decided to name her Candy, because she was just as sweet as a real candy. Candy learned to crawl and then to walk, and in no time she was speaking just as well. When she was 4, she wanted to play with the other racoon kids because she felt lonely, but none of them wanted to play with her. Candy felt really sad, and this stayed like this until she was in her last year of elementary school.

Finding Friend

One day, she was just walking getting from class to class when she noticed someone that she had not seen before in the school. He was big, bigger than her, it was a fox, but she grew bravery and walked up to him and shivering said; Hello! Are you new to the school? He responded with: Hi, and yes I’m new to the school. By the way my name is Finn the fox, What’s your name? She responded with; My name is Candy, my parents chose that name because according to them, I’m just as sweet as the real one. ‘’I can see why they named you Candy, they are right, Very right. Well do you need any help? Said Candy, No, but thanks anyway, Would you like to meet up in lunch? Yeah, sounds good said Candy, Ok then See ya! As she was walking away, she was so happy that now she got someone to talk to, a real friend.

Time passed by and they grew closer and closer together and became best friends, they hanged out in lunch, recess, in classes, well in anytime that they could until one day, The day that would show Candy who true friends are.

Becoming Popular

One day, Candy was just going to class normally when she heard something very weird, It was one of her classmates that was calling for Help. She quickly got there and saw that he was choking on something, so she did what she had to do, She tried to save him and she actually did. From that day on, she became the hero of the school for saving someone's live and that was enough for a lot of people wanting to be friends with her, Specially a group of kids that were known for doing bad stuff and were known as the rebels.

Finding New Friends

Candy started to hang out with the "Rebels" and from that day one, she was way different with everybody. Once known as a sweet girl that was very nice turned into a meanie girl that wanted to do what she wanted and did not care about the rules. There was someone that got affected by the new candy, her best friend, Finn the Fox. Right after leaving school, Finn went up to Candy to talk to her, but she blew past him without saying a word. Finn was confused so he though that she was having a rough day so he decided to leave her alone and to talk to her the next day.

At near the end of the year, Candy was still ignoring Finn because of no reason, but the school threw out a party for the ones that were graduating to go to middle school, and in that party Finn the fox and Candy were present. Finn went straight to Candy to say hello but she ignored him, she was dragged by her other friends to not be with a loser, as they called him. Finn said ”Hey, What’s happening? Why don’t you want to talk to me? What did I do? You haven't talked to me in like 3 months Said Finn. “Nothing’’ said Candy, ‘’just that I don’t hang out with losers like you anymore’’ she said. Finn, Shocked, Heartbroken and sad, walked away from the party.

Realizing the Truth

Candy was walking home with her friends from school when one of them said this: "Hey guys, Do you know the Final exam that we have tomorrow? "Yeah!" one of them said, the teacher said that is going to be very hard and that maybe we would need a lot of studying to pass it. "Well, about that, Why don't we try this!". "Why don't we sneak and burn the exam papers so the test is cancelled and that way maybe we are not going to take it". "WHAT!!!" said Candy. "Are you out of your minds?", "Don't you know that it is illegal to do that, plus we would be expelled". "Yeah I know but I mean at nigh, So nobody will be at school when we strike!". "Yeah no, I'm not doing that" She said. "I'm definitely not doing that, If you want you do that, but don't involve me into it "Candy said. “Oh I think we got a scared Racoon right here’’ said one of them. “Yeah, Why don’t we burn you too?’’ Candy really mad and sad ran away from her crazy and malevolent friends and as she was walking out of the school, She saw Finn. He was crying, he looked very sad, At that moment Candy felt ashamed and really bad because of how she had treated him. She walked up to him and in tears said “I’m sorry Finn I made you feel bad!” “I don’t know what went through my mind when I said that”. “Its alright” he said, If you want to be with them, Who am I to judge you with who you are?”. “You are my best friend, that is what you are, and you really didn’t deserve that not even a little of what I said because I know that you are a real friend” she said. After that they heard yelling over in the school. They saw how the police got her friends arrested, Both of them running ran up to the principal who was there and said “What happened?”. “We heard about their plan to burn down the exam papers and we had to act quickly, we also heard that they were planning on Involving you too, and I certainly know that you are not that type of person to do that. "Yeah, they were crazy" She said. The principal said, "And because of that we called the police”. Right after that both of Candy and Finn's parents came and said: "Are you Ok? "Yeah, both of them said, we are fine. "But what happened their parents said", "Its a long story" :/

After that, Candy and Finn were inseparable and could not stay without each other. They Hanged out whenever they could because they could not stand being alone. In the end, Candy and Finn the fox stayed friends for the rest of their Lives, and they promised not to never lie and hurt each other again.
