Eight-year-old Riley Chambers was the twins' favourite friend from class. They stared at him.
"Why didn't you wait for us!?" Cole pouted.
"I didn't think you were gonna take as long as you were!" he said. "Besides, I had to ask Bubby something about his birthday next week!"
"What's to ask!? You already know where it's at!" Porter pouted.
Riley shrugged. Behind him, Bubby was wheezing and gasping as he waddled towards the van. Riley held out a hand. He looked nothing like his three friends - he was slim, short, with light brown hair.
"OK Bubby, just one more step!" he said.
"H-h-hurgh!" Bubby grunted, leaning heavily against the side of the van. Riley laughed.
"Gettin' a little tubby, huh?" he teased, rubbing his belly.
"S-s-shuddup!" Bubby grunted, and Riley laughed even more. The twins helped pull Bubby aboard the van.
"Riley, you want a lift home, sweetheart?" Bubby's mother asked.
