A really sweet start, all the character interaction has this really endearing fuzzy quality that you capture very well, fantastic job there.
The only critique I would make for future parts is regarding the flicking back and forth between script style dialogue (ie. Kirby: "Hey, you're a few minutes late there Kodi..") and standard literary dialogue (ie. Kodi "Yeah I know, I just wanted to see mom and dad that is all."), it makes the writing seem a little uneven and it's something you might want to bear in mind. Be assured however that it in no way undermines the flow of the story
So I really enjoyed it, very nice work and I'll look forward to new parts in the future. Really well done.
