You've Got a Friend in a Tree

Rai and his cousing Gabby developed quite the bond while she was here. It was a bit of a love/hate relationship as they somehow managed to get into the silliest arguments over the smallest things yet, despite all the bickering, when they were apart, each wouldn't stop asking about the other and they would keep making phone calls back and forth between visits.
Now that Gabby's gone, Rai has had to make plans with some of his old friends to fill this new hole in his life. It was a busy week, but Rai managed to hang out with his friend Ben, his future bride Lalima, and his Golden Gate Mother's Group friends, too. And, if those friends aren't around, then Rai's always got a friend in the singing tree at Grandma and Grandpa's place.
