The February Furby

On the 20-something-th of February, 2020, on our spring break vacation, I got a blue Furby plush. Blue, just like the number two, just like the month of February. As we walked through the parking lot, browsing the list of Furby Boom names, I picked the name Way-Boo. It fit him well, I think so. We were just getting into Furbys at the time, so we were happy to have a new one.
Months had passed, quarantine happened, we all know how that went. When we were allowed to go outside, I would either listen to music on the swing, or run around with my friends. And the Furby, Way-Boo. He was a friend too, sort of. He was just me talking through a different voice, but that voice was more confident in expressing... myself. I never dared to try out different names, but Way-Boo did. He also referred to me as a he once, something I back then wouldnt dare to do myself, even though I wanted to.
Years had passed, things got worse, he was still there. More years have passed, things got better, he is still here. I take him with me wherever I go. I think DJ CatFish - 2020 me - would be so happy to see how far we have come. But DJ CatFish is his own person now, and we are indeed still here, and proud of how far we have come. Together with, and probably thanks to, Way-Boo, our emotional support Furby. The February Furby.
Current mood: Happy :D
Current music: Vylet Pony
