==Transcript ==
(The episode starts by taking place outside of Debbie's house at morning time. The scene zooms in Maraya's bedroom and it shows that Maraya is still sleeping in her bed until she finds out that it's a special day)
Maraya (yawns): Oh. I can't believe it! Today's the day, whoo-hoo!
(She stands up on her bed and gets out a calendar with a day circled in red marker)
Maraya: Today is another Memory Day yet again, and I can't wait to share them with everyone! (she runs away) I just need to make my best friend, Ruff, come to life. Viewers, to make Ruff come to life, we need to say the memorial magic spell. Say the memorial magic spell with me.
(She looks down at her computer so she can say the memorial magic spell with the viewers)
Maraya: Computer, computer,
Let me see Ruff
Let me see Ruff
So those memories won't be tough!
(She then runs to sit on her bed so Ruff can come to life. Then after that, he lands on the ground and crawls on Maraya's bed to greet her)
Ruff: Hello, Maraya. What's happening to you today?
Maraya: Hey, Ruff. Guess what today is? Guess what today is?
Ruff: Um...I don't know. What is today?
Maraya: It's Memory Day!
Ruff: Oh, yeah. Memory Day. That's when we share our memories together, right?
Maraya: Right. And we're going to make this Memory Day better than our last one, Ruff. 
Ruff: Yes, we are.
Maraya: And speaking of memories, who remembers any memories about us? Ruff, you remember any memories about us?
Ruff: Why, yes I do. And let's start by the shocking times where you made me stop do certain things, Maraya.
Maraya: Okay.
Ruff: I remember where you made me stop putting your socks and shoes on.
(The first flashback begins)
Maraya (in flashback): Ruff, don't!
Ruff (in flashback): What, Maraya? Don't you want to wear these shoes?
Maraya (in flashback): Yeah, but look what I can do with the socks and shoes.
(In the flashback, Maraya begins putting on her socks and shoes just to show Ruff that she can do it)
Ruff (in flashback): Maraya, what are you doing?
(After Maraya put her own shoes on, Ruff stands up and gasps)
Ruff (gasps in flashback): Maraya, you - you did it! You just put your own socks and shoes on in front of me! I'm so proud of you!
(The first flashback ends)
Ruff: And that's why you stopped me there.
Maraya: Why?
Ruff: Because you wanted to show me that you can put your own socks and shoes on.
Maraya: Oh. Do you remember any more memories, Ruff?
Ruff: I sure do.
Maraya: Like what?
Ruff: Like that one time when you wanted to hide first.
Maraya (in flashback): No, Ruff!
Ruff (in flashback): Huh?
(Maraya in the second flashback points to herself so Ruff will know that she wants to hide first)
Ruff (in flashback): Oh, you want to hide first, Maraya?
Maraya (in flashback): Yeah!
(The second flashback ends as Maraya and Ruff continue talking)
Ruff: And that's why you stopped me in hide and seek.
Maraya: Oh. Do you remember any more, Ruff?
Ruff (thinking): Let me think for a second.
(About a second later, he remembers something)
Ruff: I believe I do. Maraya, remember when you stopped me at dinnertime?
(The third flashback begins)
Maraya (in flashback): Ruff, don't! You've forgotten something!
Ruff (in flashback): What? What did I forget?
Maraya (in flashback): The gravy!
Ruff (hits himself in flashback): Ugh! How could I forget? Thanks for reminding me, Maraya. I'll get it ready for you in a jiffy.
(Ruff disappears into Maraya's computer in the flashback)
Maraya: Okay.
(The third flashback ends)
Ruff: And that's why you stopped me there at dinnertime.
Maraya: Oh. Well, I remember when you stopped me too. (not seen) Like that one time where you stopped me from going to the laundry room to check on the clothes.
Maraya (gasps in flashback): The washer!
Ruff (in flashback): Maraya, wait!
Maraya (in flashback): Huh?
Ruff (in flashback): You have a big mess on your mouth. Here, I'll help you.
(He gets out a napkin and wipes Maraya's mouth in the flashback)
Ruff (in flashback): There. Now let's check on those clothes.
(The fourth flashback ends)
Maraya: And I also remembered when you caught me from taking off my bib at Katia's birthday party.
Ruff (in flashback): No, no Maraya. Don't take it off. Keep it on.
Maraya (in flashback): But, Ruff. I don't want to wear it. I want to be like you.
Ruff (in flashback): Maraya, you want your piece of cake, don't you?
Maraya (in flashback): Yes...
Ruff (in flashback): Then keep it on.
(The flashback ends with Ruff tying Maraya's bib around her neck)
Ruff: But, Maraya. After I did that for you, you complained about it.
Maraya: Ruff, you got to stop babying me. You know that I'm a big girl.
Ruff: But, Maraya. You're autistic.
Maraya: No buts, Ruff. Anyways, I remember another memory when you stopped me.
(Another flashback about Ruff stopping Maraya begins)
Maraya (not seen): I remember when you stopped me from getting on my bike.
Ruff (in flashback): Nuh uh uh. You need to have some safety gear on first. Here, let me put it on you.
(He makes some safety gear appear and puts it on Maraya in the flashback)
Ruff (in flashback): You know, it's very important to have safety gear on, such as knee pads, elbow pads, and finally, a helmet.
(He puts the helmet on Maraya's head)
Ruff (in flashback): There. Now, are you ready?
Maraya (in flashback): Yeah!
Ruff (in flashback): Then here we go.
(The final flashback about Ruff stopping Maraya ends)
Ruff: Now that you shared your memories about me stopping you, now it's my turn to share memories of you throwing tantrums. (thinking) I remember that you threw two tantrums about one reason and two more tantrums for another reason. Like when you threw them because you were afraid of loud noises.
Maraya (gasps in flashback): What was that?
Ruff (in flashback): I don't know, maybe it's -
Maraya (in flashback): It's a lawn mower!
(Ruff gasps, then Maraya cries)
Maraya (crying in flashback): It's a lawn mower! It's a lawn mower!
(While Maraya was crying, Ruff kneels down and hugs Maraya)
Ruff (in flashback): Aw, Maraya, everything will be alright. Listen.
(He puts his hand by his ear so he can listen to see if the lawn mower was still occurring)
Ruff (in flashback): It's over, Maraya.
Maraya (in flashback): It is?!
Ruff (in flashback): Yes. No more lawn mower.
Maraya (relieved in flashback): Phew.
Ruff: And then you cried again because of that same reason.
Maraya (crying in flashback): Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! Waaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
Ruff (in flashback): Oh, no, Maraya!
(He runs to Maraya who's crying and tries to reassure her)
Ruff (in flashback): What's the matter, Maraya? Why are you crying?
(Maraya points to one of the noises that were bothering her)
Ruff (in flashback): Yes, I know, Maraya. They're cleaning up the arcade.
Maraya (in flashback): Ruff, get out your phone. What time is it?
Ruff (in flashback): 1:00.
Maraya (in flashback): AM or PM?
Ruff (in flashback): AM.
Maraya (gasps in flashback): 1 AM? In the morning? Ruff, please, get us out of this chaos.
Ruff (in flashback): Don't worry, I have a way.
(He and Maraya put their hands together and teleport out of the chaos)
Ruff (in flashback): Yay! We're out of the chaos!
Maraya (in flashback): Whoo-hoo!
Ruff: And then you cried again because you hurt yourself while riding that bike.
Maraya (in flashback): (laughing)
(Meanwhile, Ruff is watching her until he sees that Maraya is going to crash)
Ruff (gasps in flashback): Maraya, look out!
Maraya (in flashback): Huh? Whoaaaaaaaaa! Oof!
(When she crashed, Ruff gasps and runs over to her)
Ruff (in flashback): Maraya, are you okay?
Maraya (sad in flashback): Yes, I mean, no.
(When she lets go of one of her knees, she starts to cry)
Maraya (in flashback): (crying)
Ruff (in flashback): Oh, dear. Let's see what happened.
(He takes Maraya's knee pads off her knees and then he rolls up her pants to see what happened)
Ruff (gasps in flashback): Oh, no! Maraya, your knees are bleeding! (he is seen again) But, don't worry. I know how to fix this.
(Suddenly, the flashback is paused by Maraya)
Maraya: Ruff, pause the flashback because I want to save the happy part for last.
Ruff: Okay, but let me continue. Remember when you got a shot at the doctor? It really hurt, didn't it?
Maraya: Yeah.
Ruff: But don't worry. You already got it.
Maraya (relieved): Phew.
Ruff: Just think of it, Maraya, as I begin this new flashback.
(Maraya starts to think about it while the new flashback began)
Ruff (in flashback): Maraya, look at me. On the count of three, he'll give you your shot, okay?
Maraya (in flashback): Okay.
Ruff (in flashback): On the count of three. (he and Dr. Cole start counting) One, two, three!
(After he gave her the shot, she jumps and becomes shocked, and then cries)
Maraya (in flashback): (crying)
Ruff (in flashback): Oh, Maraya. Don't cry. Look, he's done.
Maraya (in flashback): Oh.
Ruff (in flashback): Come on, Maraya. Let's get down.
(She gets up as Ruff helps her down)
Ruff (in flashback): See, Maraya? That wasn't bad, wasn't it?
Maraya (in flashback): No.
(The new flashback ends)
Ruff: Maraya, even though you cried after you got the shot, I think you're still brave.
Maraya: Really?
Ruff (laughing): Yes, Maraya. Of course you're still brave.
Maraya (relieved): Phew.
Ruff: And, Maraya, I remembered lots more about what you did. And what I remember is when you did shocking and terrifying things to yourself or me.
Maraya: Like what?
Ruff: Lots, like, when you made me slip in two puddles of water and you even slipped on your own puddle of water.
Maraya: Oh.
Ruff (not seen): And you almost fell off a wobbly bridge. And then you ran away and hid from me.
Maraya (not seen): Oh...
Ruff (not seen): And then another thing you did was hide from the doctor outside his office. And the final but most shocking thing you did was that you made Matthew cry.
(The flashback ends)
Maraya: Really? I did that?
Ruff: Yes, you did that. Just listen to this flashback slowly.
(Another flashback begins again)
Maraya (yelling in flashback): Ruff! Flora's chasing me! Oof!
(She bumps into Ruff and makes him throw the bowl of baby food in the air and lands it on Matthew's head)
Ruff (worried in flashback): Uh oh!
Matthew (in flashback): (crying)
Ruff (gasps): I'm sorry, Matthew. I didn't mean to do that to you.
(He gets Matthew out of his highchair so he can reassure him. But, however, he yells at Maraya why she did that)
Ruff (mad in flashback): Maraya, why did you do that?
Maraya (in flashback): I didn't mean to!
Ruff (sighs in flashback): I had it, Maraya. Now sit over there on the couch and think about what you've done.
Ruff (not seen): And then you walked over there to sit on the couch, but a few minutes later, you found me in the bathroom and I told you to use the other one. Then, later, you got in trouble for not staying put on the couch.
Ruff (in flashback): Maraya, you are placed in your bedroom because you didn't stay on the couch like you were supposed to. Now, you stay here for 15 minutes.
Maraya (in flashback): But, Ruff -
Ruff (in flashback): No buts, Maraya. Now, stay there until I come and get you.
Ruff (not seen): And then you did your 15 minutes until I came back.
Ruff (in flashback): Maraya, why you were placed there was because you didn't stay on the couch like you were supposed to. Now, I want an apology.
Maraya (sad in flashback): Sorry, Ruff.
Ruff (in flashback): That's my girl. Now, give me a hug.
(Maraya gives Ruff a hug after she apologized. Then the flashback ends with them hugging each other again)
Maraya: That was a terrible flashback, Ruff. There has to be something that's better than you punishing me. (to herself) Something way better.
Ruff (laughing while not seen): Of course there's something that's going to be way better, Maraya. Just think about it.
(The scene zooms out as Maraya starts thinking about it)
Maraya (thinking): Hmmm...
(She thinks about it until a picture of her and Ruff appear)
Maraya (gasps): I got it! Ruff, you're right. There is something way better than you punishing me. All I had to do was to think about it. Ruff, what I have to say about you was that you helped me with a lot of great stuff.
Ruff: Like what? Tell me.
Maraya: Okay. I remember...when you helped me dress and undress myself for a whole week.
Ruff (not seen): Oh, yeah. I remember that. 
Maraya (not seen): And that time when you helped me talk on the phone for the first time.
Ruff (not seen): I remember that, too. What else did I do with you?
Maraya (not seen): You helped me clean up my messes, retrace my steps, and even become myself so I can be happy.
Ruff (not seen): I know I did that, Maraya. What else did I help you with?
Maraya (not seen): You even taught me how to be a good sport when I didn't win and you taught me how to play hide and seek.
Ruff (not seen): I remember, and you had a blast with it.
Maraya (not seen): Yes, I did. And I remember when you helped me get better when I was sick.
Ruff (not seen): Yes, I did. And guess what you did after that?
Maraya (not seen): What?
Ruff (not seen): You helped me when I was sick.
Maraya (not seen): I did? Wow!
Ruff (not seen): Wow is right, Maraya. Now, continue.
Maraya (not seen): Okay. Now what else do I remember? Oh, I remember when you helped me overcome my fear of noises.
Ruff (not seen): Oh, yeah. I remember when I did that.
Maraya (not seen): And you helped me find my way too, Ruff.
Ruff (not seen): Wow, did I really do that?
Maraya (not seen): Yes. And you especially helped me ride my bike until I got hurt.
Ruff (not seen): Maraya, was that the flashback you wanted me to continue telling?
Maraya (not seen): Yes.
Ruff (not seen): Okay, just listen to it slowly. Here we go.
(The one flashback that Ruff told Maraya earlier resumes)
Ruff (in flashback): This liquid on the cotton ball will help me clean the blood off your knees so they'll stop. Now, hold still.
(Maraya jumps a little when Ruff put the cotton ball on Maraya's knee)
Maraya (in flashback): Ouch!
Ruff (in flashback): Maraya, hold still.
Maraya (in flashback): But, Ruff. This liquid burns my knee and it hurts.
Ruff (in flashback): Maraya, it only hurts for a second, just like when you get a shot at the doctor's office.
Maraya (in flashback): Oh.
(He continues cleaning Maraya's knees until there was no blood. Then he makes the cotton ball disappear)
Ruff (in flashback): There. Now all I have to do is to put these band-aids on your knees and you'll be better.
(He puts the band-aids on Maraya's knees)
Ruff (in flashback): There we go. Now do you feel better, Maraya?
Maraya (in flashback): Yes.
Ruff (in flashback): Good. Now let's go home, okay?
Maraya (in flashback): Okay.
(The flashback ends)
Maraya: That was a fun ending, Ruff.
Ruff: It sure was. Do you remember more, Maraya?
Maraya: Yes, just let me continue.
(Maraya continues thinking)
Maraya: Now, where was I? Oh, yeah. (she is unseen) I remember when you helped me at dinnertime, Ruff. And you helped me at the doctor's office. And you even helped me become responsible when Matthew and Flora was here.
(The little but final flashback ended)
Maraya: And that's all I remembered about you, Ruff.
Ruff (laughing): What great memories, Maraya. Now, do you remember more about me?
Maraya: Nope. How about you, Ruff?
Ruff: No, I don't remember any either. I think that's all, Maraya.
Maraya: Yeah. I think so too, Ruff.
Ruff: And now that we've celebrated another Memory Day together, I got to go.
Maraya: Aw, why, Ruff?
Ruff: Because I have to. But I got a present.
Maraya: What is it?
Ruff (not seen): Guess.
Maraya: Uh...another memory book?
Ruff (not seen): Yes! It is!
Maraya: Wow!
(She opens up her memory book and sees all of her and Ruff's memories)
Maraya (not seen): Look! There's a picture of both of us right here.
Ruff: That's right, Maraya. That's us. And now, how about a big hug before I go?
Maraya: Okay.
(They start hugging each other)
Ruff: Oh, Maraya. I'll always remember you.
Maraya: Me too!
(They hug each other tighter and tighter until Ruff lets go)
Ruff: Mm-mmm! That was a great hug! Okay, Maraya. Let's do our farewells.
Maraya: Okay. Goodbye, Ruff!
Ruff: Goodbye, Maraya! See you soon!
Maraya: See you soon too, Ruff.
Ruff: I hope you enjoy your memory book, Maraya. Now, goodbye!
Maraya: Goodbye, Ruff! Thanks for the memory book, because you are the best!
(After their farewells, Maraya also thanks the viewers)
Maraya (looking at camera): And, thank you so much, viewers, for helping me through my adventures! I really appreciate it! And now that you and Ruff have helped me through, I just want to say that I now have a better autistic life. Goodbye, viewers! See you real soon!
