Maraya: Does anyone remember when they were babies?
Ruff: I do! 
Maraya: OK Ruff, what do you remember about yourself being a baby?
Ruff: I'm not going to talk about my memories yet, I'm going to talk about Chizu's baby memories.
Maraya: OK Ruff, what memories do you remember about Chizu?
Ruff: I remember memories about Chizu back when she was 15 - 17 months.
Maraya: OK. Which one are you going to tell us first?
Ruff: The one memory of when Chizu was just 17 months and was about to talk, but I tried to make her talk to me.
Maraya: Oh, yeah. That memory, I remember. But Ruff, Chizu wasn't ready to talk yet.
Ruff: She was almost ready to talk, so I tried to make her talk. Actually I was trying to make her say her first word, but she didn't talk until she was 18 months.
Maraya: Let's stop talking about that right now, Ruff. We'll talk about more of it later, after you tell us your story.
Ruff: Oh yeah. OK, this was a memory I remembered back when Chizu was just 17 months, and that one was the one I got so impatient that I tried forcing her to talk. It started one morning when Chizu was still sleeping in her crib...
[Music plays]
Ruff (as narrator): It happened one morning, when Chizu was still sleeping in her crib. While Cherry Blossom was getting ready, I decided to wake her up for a headstart.
[Chizu grunts in her crib and tries to go back to sleep]
Ruff: Chizu, wake up!
[Chizu gets up from her crib and looks at Ruff, who is beside her]
Ruff: Good morning. Chizu, can you say the words "good morning"?
[Chizu stands up in her crib and coos]
Ruff: Chizu, "good morning" is just two words. Here, I'll write them down for you.
[Ruff gets out a whiteboard and writes the two words with a black marker]
Ruff (shows the words to Chizu): See? Good, morning. Good morning! Now, you try it!
[Chizu looks at Ruff and coos]
Ruff (sighs): Maybe you're not ready to say the words "good morning" yet.
[Scene changes with Ruff feeding Chizu her last spoonful of food]
Ruff: Mmmm, was that good? Chizu, can you answer yes or no?
[Chizu shakes her head at Ruff. He becomes shocked at her answer]
Ruff (shocked): No? It wasn't good?
[Chizu shakes her head at Ruff again]
Ruff: OK, I have to ask you again. Was it good?
[Chizu nods her head at Ruff]
Ruff: Yes? Well, that's good. I'm proud of you!
[Scene changes again where Ruff puts a box of toys down for Chizu]
Ruff: OK Chizu. What do you want now? You want your toys?
[Chizu nods her head]
Ruff: OK. But first, you have to talk to me. Chizu, can you say the word "toys"?
[Chizu flops down on floor as Ruff looks at her]
Ruff: Chizu, if you want it, you have to say your first word first, then you can have your toys.
[Chizu looks at Ruff and the box of toys. Suddenly she starts to cry]
Ruff: Fine, you can have your toys. Enjoy yourself! 
[He starts to walk away as scene changes again with Ruff doing science experiments inside his laboratory. Suddenly he starts to smell a very bad smell. He sniffs as he becomes curious about it]
Ruff: Uh oh! It may be time for me to change Chizu's diaper.
[He gets off his stool and gets out of the laboratory to see where the smell was coming from. He finds Chizu happily playing with her toys when she doesn't notice that she needs changing]
Ruff (sniffs at Chizu): Ew, you smell disgusting. You need your diaper to be changed.
[He sale Chizu over to her bedroom, which is where her changing station is. The scene changes again with Ruff changing Chizu's diaper]
Ruff: Chizu, you have made a big stinky [He walks over to throw away Chizu's old diaper]. Can you say the sentence "I made a stinky"?
[Chizu coos at Ruff again as he gives a big sigh. Then the scene changes again where Ruff takes Chizu back to where she was]
Ruff: Man, Chizu, you need to say your first word someday, because you're 17 months right now. I am really willing for you to do it.
[Chizu coos at Ruff once again]
Ruff: Chizu, can you at least say my name?
[Chizu is shocked about Ruff willing for her to do something]
Ruff: If you say my name, I'll promise to be nicer to you from now on. So, say my name.
Chizu (inner voice): Whenever Ruff's trying to make me say something, I'm not saying cause I'm not ready yet.
[First memory finally ends as Maraya tells Ruff something]
Maraya: Ruff, thank you for being so generous to Chizu, Ruff, but you should know that she wasn't ready to speak at 17 months yet.
Ruff: I know, Maraya. I just want Chizu to grow up now.
Maraya: But Ruff, Chizu has grown up now. She is about 2 years old already.
Ruff: Oh, yeah. But Maraya, I remember another baby memory about Chizu, who was 16 months.
Maraya: Oh, Ruff. I thought you wanted Chizu to grow up. So why are you going back to the past?
Ruff: Because I remember, Maraya.
Maraya (sighs): Fine, Ruff. Tell us another one of Chizu's memories.
Ruff: OK Maraya. Well, anyways, this took back place when Chizu was 16 months.
[music starts playing]
Ruff (as narrator): Before Chizu was ready to eat table foods, I showed her differences of her favorite foods between it being pureéd and it being not pureéd.
Maraya: Which food did you show Chizu the difference in, Ruff?
Ruff: One of her favorite fruits.
Maraya (as unseen): Which is -
Ruff: A banana.
Maraya (unseen): Oh.
Ruff (as narrator): Anyways, as I was saying, I showed Chizu differences between a banana being pureéd and a banana not being pureéd.
Ruff (in flashback): Chizu, before you start eating your first table food, I'm going to show you a difference between one of your favorite fruits. Can you guess what it is?
[Chizu starts to think deeply as a picture of a banana pops up in her head, then coos at him]
Ruff: That's right, Chizu. I'm going to show you the differences between a banana being mashed and a banana being regular. Are you ready? Cause here I go!
[Ruff then gets out a bowl of mashed bananas and a regular banana as he talks about it with Chizu. She looks at Ruff's eyes while he talks]
Ruff: Chizu, these are mashed bananas. This is the kind you eat. And this is a regular banana. It is a little firmer than the mashed ones. Plus, this is the one where you have to crack the stem and peel. See?
[Chizu still looks at Ruff's eyes, becoming curious]
Ruff: And, in addition, Chizu, last night, I decided to make you some banana pudding.
[Chizu is so surprised at Ruff that she laughs. Then Ruff kneels down with Chizu's bowl of banana pudding]
Ruff: Are you ready to try some?
[Chizu claps and laughs happily at Ruff as he laughs too]
Ruff (chuckles): OK. Here we go. But wait a second.
[Ruff stands up from the ground as he does something]
Ruff: OK. Now we're ready. Here we go. Open wide.
[Chizu opens her mouth wide so Ruff can spoonfeed her the pudding. After that happens, he starts to take a bite of his food]
Ruff: Mmmm, yummy! [Both Ruff and Chizu begin to laugh together as second flashback ends]
Maraya: Ruff, that was a much better memory. And you know, it's very nice of you to share your foods with Chizu.
Ruff: Yes, Maraya. It was nice of me. It was generous!
Maraya (chuckles): You can say that, Ruff! Anyways, let's hear your one and very last memory.
Ruff: OK. Are you all ready? Because, here I go! Well, anyways, this memory took back place when Chizu was like, 15 months.
All: 15 months?!! Really, Ruff?
Ruff: Yep, this memory took back when Chizu was just 15 months. And this is the one where I showed her a brand new toy that I thought she would like.
Maraya: What toy was it?
Ruff: A jack-in-the-box.
Maraya: A jack-in-the-box?!!
Ruff: That's right, Maraya. It was a jack-in-the-box. Well, where I was on was when Chizu was 15 months, I showed her a brand new toy that I thought she would like, called a jack-in-the-box. Just listen to my memory and you will see for sure!
[Ruff's third flashback with Chizu begins with him holding and showing a jack-in-the-box to her]
Ruff (in flashback): Chizu, do you know what I'm holding?
Chizu (inner voice): It looks like you're holding nothing but a red box.
Ruff (chuckles): No, Chizu. This is a toy called a jack-in-the-box. Now watch what happens when I wind the handle.
[As Ruff starts winding the handle of the jack-in-the-box, the song "Pop Goes the Weasel" starts playing. Meanwhile Chizu is thinking what would happen when Ruff wound the handle. Then when the song was almost done playing, a clown pops up and causes her to be scared and cry. She cries so much that Ruff puts down the jack-in-the-box and gasps]
Ruff (gasps): Oh, no! I'm sorry. Are you OK?
[Ruff tries to reassure Chizu, but however, she continues crying]
Maraya: Oh, Ruff! Why did you do that?
Ruff: I thought that Chizu would like it, Maraya.
Maraya: You know that Chizu was only a baby in that memory.
Ruff: I'm sorry,  Maraya.
Maraya: That's OK. Anyways it's my turn to tell my story of how I was diagnosed with autism, and OCD's.
All: Huh?
Maraya: Well, anyways. This was the story of how I was diagnosed with it.
[Story starts to come as Maraya begins narrating]
Maraya (as narrator): It started when I was a newborn baby. But then I started to grow up fast, because when I was age 2, my family found out that I wasn't talking yet, so they took me to the doctor to see if I were a late bloomer. And then, all of a sudden, they found out that I was diagnosed with autism. My family cried, because they didn't want me to have autism. And neither did I. But imagine of all the things that I can do, now that I'm 14.
[The story proceeds as it shows Maraya doing things in the present time]
Maraya (as narrator): I can talk, dance, sing, and most importantly of all, become a good leader!
[The flashback ends]
Maraya: And that was how I was diagnosed with autism.
Ruff: Wow, that was a great story, Maraya!
Cherry Blossom: I agree!
Maraya: Now, who wants to tell their story next?
Cherry Blossom: I probably would!
Maraya (unseen): Okay, Cherry Blossom. Tell us your story.
Cherry Blossom: Okay. [The story starts to come as Cherry Blossom begins to tell hers] Well, it took place at a hospital in my country, Japan.
Maraya (unseen): Wait, you're from Japan?
Cherry Blossom (unseen): Yeah, Maraya, didn't you know that?
Maraya (unseen): No. I didn't. But please, continue your story.
Cherry Blossom (unseen): Okay, Maraya. [She continues to tell her story] Like I was saying, it took place at a hospital in my country, Japan. My parents, Hiroki and Mei, were about to have a baby. But they didn't know if it was a boy or a girl. So we have to fast forward to the part where I was born.
Mei (in flashback): Aw! It's a girl!
Hiroki (in flashback): What should we name her, Mei?
[Cherry Blossom, who was a baby, hugged Mei and sees that she had a cherry blossom tree on her dress]
Mei (unseen): She likes the cherry blossom tree on my dress. [She is seen again and asks Hiroki a question] Hey, Hiroki, how about if we can name the baby Cherry Blossom?
[Cherry Blossom laughs happily and claps her hands]
Mei (unseen): She likes it, Hiroki.
Hiroki (unseen): Okay. Cherry Blossom it is.
[Baby Cherry Blossom laughs and claps her hands again. Then Cherry Blossom proceeds telling her story]
Cherry Blossom (as narrator): Then, after my parents named me that, they brought me to their home.
Mei (in flashback): Welcome home, Cherry Blossom. Let's get your bottle.
[Mei puts her down as she gets her bottle. Then she gives it to Cherry Blossom. She then fast forwards the story to where she was bigger]
Cherry Blossom (unseen): Okay, everyone. We have to fast forward to the part to where I was bigger.
Maraya (unseen): Okay, Cherry Blossom. Proceed!
Cherry Blossom (unseen): Okay, Maraya. [She then proceeds to tell her story] Now that I'm bigger, I am an official member of the "Imaginary Friends" team. And plus, I started having a lovable baby sister named Chizu.
Chizu (unseen): Hey, that me!
Cherry Blossom (unseen): Right, Chizu. That's you!
[Then her story ends for Cherry Blossom]
Cherry Blossom: And that's how I became an official team member.
Maraya: That was a great story, Cherry Blossom. Okay, who wants to tell their story next?
Alan and Ruff: Me!
Maraya: Oh no! Who's actually next? Let's flip a coin to find out! Alan, what do you call for?
Alan: I'll call for heads.
Maraya: And Ruff?
Ruff: I'll call for tails because I'm a dog, you know, and everyone knows that dogs have tails.
Maraya (laughing): Okay. Let's flip the coin. Ready? One, two, three!
[She flips the coin and it lands on tails]
Maraya (unseen): Ruff! You get to do it first, you lucky dog! (laughing)
[While Maraya was laughing, Ruff was laughing along with her]
Ruff: Okay! You guys ready? Cause here I go! [He starts to tell his story] It started at a pet hospital when I had a mom and a dad. They were in the hospital because my mom had a baby.
Maraya (unseen): Whoa! You have parents, Ruff? What were their names?
Ruff (unseen): Wink and Dinah. My mom, Dinah, had a baby, so she and my dad were at the pet hospital. Now I'm going to fast forward to where I was born.
Dinah: Aw, it's a boy puppy. What should we name him, Wink?
Wink: I don't know. What do you think, Dinah?
Dinah: I don't know. We never named a dog before.
Wink: Let's see what we can think of for this reason.
[While Ruff's parents were thinking of a name for the dog, he opens his eyes and says his first word]
Baby Ruff: Ruff!
[While Ruff's parents were still thinking, they were shocked]
Dinah (shocked): Huh? What was that?
Wink (shocked): I don't know. I think that came from our little puppy.
Dinah: What do you want, little puppy?
Baby Ruff: Ruff!
[Ruff's parents start to gasp]
Wink: Our baby just said his first word!
Dinah: And he's only a newborn. Wink, I know what we should name this puppy.
Wink: I agree. Let's name our puppy…Ruff!
[Baby Ruff starts to laugh at his parents as they laugh too]
Dinah: He likes it! Wink, this is the cutest baby puppy we've ever owned!
Wink: I agree! Ruff seems like a very cute puppy!
Ruff (as narrator): But then, I grew quickly. When I was a little bigger, I always liked doing science experiments in my room. Or, I should've meant that I liked reading them in my room. I actually like doing the experiments at the old science lab at my old house. I also liked using my stool because I was short. I loved being short! But when I was bigger, I was sad. I didn't like being bigger, so I wanted to be short again. Then one night, there was a shooting star. When it shot, I made a wish.
Ruff (in flashback): I wish I was short again.
Ruff (as narrator): Then, I went to bed. The next day when I woke up, I found out that I was short again!
Ruff (in flashback): Yay! I'm short again! I'm short again!
Ruff (as narrator): I was so happy that I was walking to see everyone. Then, I met one girl that I loved very much! I introduced myself to the girl and she asked me if I wanted to join her team. I said yes, and so I did. And that's how I became a member of the team!
Maraya: Nice story, Ruff. Okay, Alan. Are you ready?
Alan: Yeah, Maraya. I am.
Maraya (unseen): Okay, Alan. Go ahead and tell us your story.
Alan: Okay, this is my story of how I joined the team. [He starts to tell his story] It started at a hospital in Australia. My parents' names were Brian and Ellen. And one day, my mom, Ellen, had a baby.
Ellen (in flashback): Brian, help me! I got a baby!
Brian (in flashback): Don't worry, Ellen. I'll take you to the hospital!
Alan (as narrator): And so, my parents got themselves to the hospital. My dad, Brian, asked the doctor if my mom was going to be okay.
Brian (in flashback): Doctor, is Ellen okay?
Doctor: Yes, Brian. Ellen will be okay. She is just pregnant.
Ellen: As I thought. I'm pregnant! Someone help me!
Doctor: Ellen, everything will be okay. All you need to do is to get the baby out.
Alan (as narrator): After all that hard work of getting the baby out, Ellen felt better.
Ellen (in flashback): Aw, it's a boy! Brian, isn't he cute?
Brian (in flashback): Yeah. He does look cute. What shall we name him?
Ellen (in flashback): Let's name him Alan.
Brian (in flashback): Okay. Alan it is.
Alan (as narrator): A few years later, I wanted to be strong, because my parents were weak. So when I was in high school, I signed up for weight training classes. It took a lot of work, but when I graduated, I was as strong as any strong man that I met.
Strong Man #1: Whoa, he looks strong.
Strong Man #2: I agree!
Strong Man #3: Hey, let's do some weight training, shall we?
Both: Yeah!
[The three strong men Alan saw ran away to do some more weight training]
Alan (as narrator): Then, when I was 37, I decided to move to my own house.
Ellen (in flashback): Oh, Alan. We'll miss you!
Brian (in flashback): Yeah, we will. Will you see us again someday?
Alan (in flashback): Of course I will! You know I love you, mom and dad.
Ellen (in flashback): Okay. Goodbye! 
Brian (in flashback): Have a great trip, Alan!
Alan (in flashback): Thanks!
Alan (as narrator): So, I moved to go somewhere else. On my way, I met a girl. She asked me if I wanted to join her team. I answered sure to her as we became great friends!
[The story ends and Alan stopped as Maraya said that his story was a great story]
Alan: And that's how I joined this team.
Maraya: Alan, that was a great story you told us about your life.
Alan: Thanks, Maraya. I appreciate all your compliments and your leadership.
Maraya: Okay, who wants to tell their story next?
Walden (unseen): I would!
[Maraya looks down and sees Walden smiling]
Maraya: Walden? You want to tell your story next?
Walden: I sure would!
Maraya: Okay, Walden. Go ahead!
Walden: Okay! [Then his story begins] It started at a hospital in Australia and -
Alan (unseen): Whoa! Walden, are you from Australia too? You know that I just told you my story about being born in Australia.
Walden (unseen): Alan, stop interrupting my story and let me continue!
Alan (unseen): Okay, okay. Walden, proceed!
Walden (unseen): Okay. [Then he proceeds on his story] Like I said, it started at a hospital in Australia. My parents were named Cynthia and Christopher. And one month, Cynthia, my mom, had a baby.
Cynthia (in flashback): Christopher! Come here! I have a baby!
Christopher (in flashback): Oh no! You have a baby! Well, let's go to the hospital and get that baby out.
Walden (as narrator): After my parents got to the hospital, they asked the doctor if Cynthia was going to be okay.
Christopher (in flashback): Doctor, will Cynthia be okay?
Doctor: Yes, Christopher. Cynthia is going to be okay. She is just pregnant.
Christopher (in flashback): As I thought. Cynthia, you're going to be okay. Just get it out!
Cynthia (in flashback): Okay.
Walden (as narrator): After all that hard work of getting me out, my mom felt better.
Cynthia (in flashback): Wow! It's a boy!
Christopher (in flashback): What should we name him?
Cynthia (in flashback): I know. Let's name him Walden.
Christopher (in flashback): What a great name! Now let's take him home!
Cynthia (in flashback): Okay!
Walden (as narrator): Then when I was age 14, I learned American English because everyone thought that I spoke Australian English.
Alan (unseen): Wow! Did you really speak in an Australian accent?
Walden (unseen): I did until age 14 when I learned another type of English. But since I was very intelligent, I was able to learn it all quickly.
Ruff (unseen): Whoa! You're intelligent…like me.
Walden (unseen): That's right, Ruff. I am. And now that I'm age 16, I joined the "Imaginary Friends" team. That's how I joined it.
Maraya: Cool story, Walden! And I bet you're Alan's buddy because you and him are from Australia.
Walden: I am, but Alan's the one who speaks the Australian accent, not me!
Maraya: Okay, who's left? Blossom, Italy, do you want to tell any of your stories?
Blossom: I would, because I remember a lot about my life.
Maraya (chuckles): Okay, Blossom. Go ahead.
Blossom: Okay. [The story starts] It once started at a pet hospital. My parents'names were Bob and Trisha. And one day, my mom started having a baby.
Trisha (in flashback): Bob, help me!
Bob (in flashback): What is it, Trisha?
Trisha (in flashback): I have a baby.
Bob (in flashback): Then let's get you to the hospital.
Blossom (as narrator): Then, my dad drove my mom to the hospital. My dad asked the doctor if she was going to be alright.
Bob (in flashback): Doctor, is Trisha going to be okay?
Doctor: Yes. Trisha is just pregnant.
Blossom (as narrator): After all that hard work, I was finally out and born.
Trisha (in flashback): Aw, it's a girl. What should we name her, Bob?
Bob (in flashback): I know. Let's name her Blossom.
Trisha (in flashback): What a beautiful name for a cat. Let's keep it!
Bob (in flashback): Okay.
Blossom (as narrator): One thing I knew about myself was that I wore clothes until age 14.
Maraya (unseen): That's how old me and Cherry Blossom are.
Blossom (unseen): Right! I was your age, Maraya. Like I was saying, I wore clothes until I was age 14. And now that I'm 18, I joined the team. [The story ends] And that's how I joined the team and became an official member.
Maraya: Great story, Blossom! Okay, Italy, are you ready to tell your story now?
Italy: Yeah.
Maraya: Okay, go ahead!
Italy: Okay. [The last story starts] It took place at a hospital in my country, Italy. Now I didn't have any parents -
Alan (unseen): What? You didn't have any parents?
Italy (unseen): Nope.
Alan (unseen): Well, if you didn't have any parents, then who did you have instead?
Italy (unseen): Grandparents, of course. And their names were Ann and Ano. And one day, my grandmom had a baby.
Ann (in flashback): Ano, come here!
Ano (in flashback): What is it, Ann?
Ann (in flashback): I have a baby!
Ano (in flashback): Oh no! We'll have to take you to the hospital.
Italy (as narrator): After taking Ann to the hospital, Ano asked the doctor if she was going to be alright.
Ano (in flashback): Doctor, will Ann be okay?
Doctor: Yes, she will.
Italy (as narrator): Then, after all that hard work, I was finally out.
Ann (in flashback): Wow, it's a boy!
Ano (in flashback): What should we name him?
Ann (in flashback): Well, what country are we at?
Ano (in flashback): Italy.
Ann (in flashback): Great idea, Ano! Let's name him Italy!
Italy (as narrator): After I was born, I grew up quickly. I had a job when I was age 16, then when I was 20, I joined the "Imaginary Friends" team. [The last story ends] And that's how I became a member of the team.
Maraya: Great story, Italy. Hey, guys, whose story did you like best?
Cherry Blossom: We all liked yours the best, Maraya.
Chizu: Chizu love story.
Alan: Whose story you like the best, Maraya?
Maraya: I liked all of your stories, everyone! Thanks for telling me great stories, everyone!
Italy (unseen): You're welcome, Maraya!
Maraya: Well, we're all going to be the greatest team members, ever!
All: Yeah!
[Then they all start to laugh. The scene fades out, which causes the episode to end]
