Went the books rushing themselves down the stairs as they fell out of Someone's hands

Blue sock began to pick them up, handing them to the person also picking them up.
"oh here you go... " Blue sock said giving the dog, puppy the last book
"thanks" she said
"my name's blue sock"
"and mines button" she said panting and looking blue sock straight in the eye.
Blue sock swished his tail while jumping up.

They chatted and walked to their classes, laughing and giggling.

Blue sock's intro

A blue fish, with the longest tail, the smallest fins and big blue eyes; swam around the water bowl as it's Mom and Dad watched over.

Dad: what we naming it?
Mom: ummm ... ummm... blue... blue... blue sock!
Dad: I'm sorry what? blue sock?
Mom: yeah blue sock!
Dad: you can't call a fish blue sock...
Mom:why not? ... I think it's a great name!
Dad: it's a fish!... who in the right mind calls a fish blue sock?
Mom:oh so... so you're saying I'm not smart now ... is that it?
Dad: no... of course not... but really darling... blue sock... I mean...
Mom: but I wanna call him blue sock because... his got blue eyes... blue scales... blue fins... so blue sock just seems right!
Dad: but it's not really a fish name ... darling...
Mom: it's blue sock and that's final

The fish in the bowl looked at his dad in a worried way

Dad: I know son... I know...
