The word raccoon comes from a small mammal with an array of depressing colors such as brown, black, gray splurged onto a so-called “Rodent”. Raccoon has cute tiny paws with a fox-like face. Raccoon has another name called “Trash Panda” which often hurts its feelings when being called the rude nickname.

When raccoon is embraced by a teenage girl, she feels the need to immediately share it with her friend. They text back and forth, arguing about their feelings towards raccoon. The older, less mature best friend tries to explain to the younger, more mature best friend that raccoons are the answer to everything… but younger best friend refuses to believe it. Minutes, days, and months go by, but raccoon still lie in their chat history for all to see. Despite raccoon being a rodent, no one would have thought it would create an even stronger bond between the best friends.
