Hello. My name is Caboose. And, uh, for a really long time, I lived in a canyon. And it was pretty great. I had friends. They really liked me.

Yeah now I know what you are thinking... but.. Not because I am psychic. You are thinking, “Caboose, how did you get so good, at making friends? I like to make friends too! We could have sandwiches together." Well, I will tell you... but only if you share those sandwiches... and that they are peanut butter.

First, you need to know what makes good friend material. Cotton is most people's favorite friend material, mainly because it is soft. But in my personal experience, it catches on fire pretty easy. Other friend materials you may want to avoid are: Cactus! Snow! Water left over from melted snow! Spiders! Rock! Annnnd imaginary. Speaking from personal experience, I really like metal. Metal is pretty much the best material for making friends, because, it is durable! It is really strong, and even if it's a little cold at first, it eventually warms up.

But now, you have to figure out, what kind of friend you want to make. Sometimes it's good to have a friend that listens to you when you talk. Especially when you get to the part where you saved him, and they called you a hero, and not a bad name. Other times it's good to have a friend who can go on adventures with you! They can push you out of your comfort zone! Annnnnd youuuuu can PUSH THEM BACK!

Just remember that being a friend is sometimes pretty hard work. You got friends who will always be there for you! To give you a piggy-back ride, or murder evil soldiers. But whenever your friends are having a hard time, you have to be there for them too!

Yep, friends are pretty great! But, there is nothing better than having a BEST FRIEND! I mean except for maybe ice cream, or like, a talking horse. But best friends are the best because they're the person you can talk to about anything! You can spend all your time with them, tell them secrets, you know talk about how Tucker is stupid, and I-I-I mean, I mean he really is just, just awful!

BUT, sometimes... you will lose a friend. Sometimes... even your best friend. Maybe you grow apart, maybe you get into a fight, maybe they are destroyed in an electromagnetic pulse. These things happen. It's just a sad, saaad, saaaaaad, sad, saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, saaad, sad, sad part of life.

But you know... I think the very best part about friends... well the thing most people forget about at least... is that no matter how many friends you do lose... You can always make more.
And... that's pretty neat.
