Fire ring, two time, spawn?!

Broken Spawn, out for his usual stroll, ran into his best friend, Fire Ring. Spawn ran up to Fire Ring and hugged him, but instead of the usual greeting and mutual hugs, Fire Ring pushed Spawn back onto the cold, dirty asphalt.
"You're a terrible friend, I don't want to talk to you! Never!"
Fire Ring said coldly.
These words pierced Spawn through and through, he felt as if he had been thrown away like a broken toy.
Fire continued to talk to Spawn, about how terrible he was, etc., and Spawn listened, tears welling up in his eyes. Then suddenly... Something from the bushes blinked, and crawled out of the bushes. A strange guy, seeing this picture, took out a dagger and began to threaten Fire, protecting Spawn. This strange guy was that time.
