"Yeah," Sunny said to Faunie. "I wish my legs are good enough to do stuff like swimming, too."
Sunny then thought it would be nice to now hear about Faunie's autism.
"So, you said you're autistic?" she asked. "Tell me all about it."

At this point, Joey began to think this pup may not be his sister, but she still seemed like a sweet pup.
"You're not much of a talker, are ya?" he asked. "I'll tell ya what. How about I help you out with anything you need if you'd do the same for me? That's what friends do. What I'm trying to say is...would you like to be friends?"
Joey held out his paw in an offering of friendship to Chels.

Faunie thought for a while. "Well, at first sight, I am completely normal, so people always think I'm normal... But I have quite some... problems. I stutter a lot when talking or I repeat myself, and when I'm talking i am usually forcing myself to find subjects to talk about, which is something I have troubles with. So... people usually ignore me after a while, because they think I don't WANT to talk... I do want to talk but I can't and sometimes I stay behind so I don't force people to talk to me. I also dislike loud noises. A lot, they actually scare me."

"Nnnn.. nn nn" Chels shook her head in response to Joey's first question.
But then the friendship offering. It seemed legit. But he wanted her to do things for him.. what would I be able to do for Joey? She wondered not feeling very confident, looking at his paw, feeling a little uneasy and hesitant.

"Really?" said Sunny after she listened to Faunie explain to her about her autism. "Well, you don't have to worry about that now, because talking to other pups is why I'm here; and now that you and I are talking to each other, I won't ignore you while you're talking to me. And even when you stutter and repeat yourself when you're talking, I will still be very understanding."

"My paw isn't gonna bite," Joey said to the hesitant pup who was a lot larger than him. "I just would like to be friends with you because you seem like a really nice girl, and we have an awful lot in common. I'm sure you and I will be able to help each other a lot."
Pretzy couldn't help but notice Joey doing a really good job trying to befriend Chels. She hoped she would accept his offer as well.

Faunie nodded, still a little unconfident but glad Sunny seemed to be understanding, at least. "Yeah... I'm glad I joined this group then. It's nice to be able to talk to someone who knows what's wrong with me!" She looked back at Sunny. "So, you've had this walking disability since your birth?"

"Er..." Chels went silent briefly, but then sighed "okay.. I guess" she took his paw and shook it slowly, then quickly let go.

When Sunny heard Faunie ask if she had a walking disability since her birth, she finds this as an opportunity to tell her about her family, particularly her deceased mother.
"Yes, I have," said Sunny. "I got this disability from my mommy. She never had a wheelchair to move around better like I do."
Sunny looked to the right side of her body, where there's a photo attached to it by the strap of the wheelchair.
"I brought over a picture of my mommy with me," she said, looking back up at Faunie again. "My big brother kept telling me not to bring it with me anywhere I go or even look at it, but I do that anyway, because I love my mommy very much."

"What's the matter?" asked Joey. "You scared of something? Do you want a hug?"
Joey hoped that she would not decline to this offer. Who would turn down a hug?

Faunie nodded, understanding. "Since you inherited it from your mother, does your brother have it, too?" Shetilted her head, a little confused. "And why didn't he want you to carry that picture? Your mom looks like a very nice dog actually!"

"Oh no" Chels shook her head, but then the hug offer. As nice as it was, Chels was rather uncomfortable with such close contact. "Er.. maybe later."

Sunny shook her head when she heard Faunie ask her if her big brother inherited their mother's walking disability.
"No, my big brother never had it," she said. "And because he has good legs, he became very interested in skateboarding and playing Twister with a cute girl."
She pulled the photo of her deceased mother from the strap of her wheelchair. What was shown of her mother in that photo is that she is a beautiful Dalmatian with a pink collar and a diamond-shaped spot on her forehead and each ear.
"Here's the picture of my mommy," she said, holding it out to show it to Faunie. "She really was a very nice dog. But my big brother didn't want me to bring it with me because of what I do everytime I look at it, and it easily annoys it everytime it happens, but I just can't help myself."
She then holds the photh in front of her face and looks directly at her mother in it. This causes her to start sobbing for a bit and fall silent for a few seconds. After a short moment of complete silence, she let out something that she just can't control. She started crying.
"WAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!"

Pretzy approached the nervous Chels. "Chels, there's nothing to be afraid of. We're all here to help each other overcome our fears and be friends. Joey really wants to make friends with you. He's done a lot of talking, so why don't you return the favor in some way now. Just take a deep breath and give it a try."
She then heard Sunny crying and ran over to her. "Sunny! What happened? What's the matter?"

Faunie was a little unsure and surprised when Sunny started crying all of a sudden, but then she stepped forward and put her paw on Sunny's back. "Well, it's okay, you can cry... I understand! Some things, even though I don't know what things make you cry, but some things are things one can cry about... okay what am I saying. Sunny? Are you okay?" she asked the sobbing pup.
