Getting to know my friends

Angela and I were walking to the riverbank. I pawed the water, and out popped a fish. "Hi, Scales." "Hi Liam." My friend, Scales, said. I nodded at Angela. "Angela, Scales... Scales, Angela." I replied to her emotionless stare at Scales. We walked off and went to a tree with a hole in it. I barked and out came a horned-owl. "Whooo... Hello, Liam IS this your friend?" The horned-owl said. "Yes, her name is Angela." The owl hooted. "Nice to meet you, Angela. I'm Speck!" Speck shifted her weird-shaped glasses and turned around to look for something. We waited for 3 minutes until Speck turned around with a paper in her hands. "This is a patent..." "What is a patent??" Angela asked curiously. Speck blinked emotionless. "Well, It's kinda hard to explain" She lied. I bet she just didn't want to explain it to my 'new' friend. "Well, we have to go, Speck-" We started to walk away. "DO GOOD ON YOUR TEST TOMORROW!" Speck winked and flew into her little den. "So what's next, Liam?" "I don't know..." I yawned. "We need to go back, it's sundown and I am REALLY tired. I bet you are, too." Angela blinked, tiredly. I could tell I was right. As we got back to the territory, I sneaked her into my room. "Where did you go?" My mom asked. "To Scale's and Speck's..." She nodded. "OK, I see, Go on to bed, you must be really tired by now." So, I went to sleep and Angela slept next to me, too.
