A childhood belief about imaginary friends

I had two imaginary friends. One of them was half-real because he was a stuffed animal. A calico cat. The people who manafactured him named him "Chip" but I liked to call him Bennifer (a boy version of the name Jennifer). The other was a round green cute alien with big eyes and feathers named Green Snitch (because he resembled the Golden Snitch from Harry Potter.) My parents never knew I had them because I thought them in my head. I always pretended they would take me to Green Snitch's home planet called Technaria, where the buildings were all like hovering circles. Since my parents never knew, they never told me to grow up. I had them for years.

My third creation was a bad guy and not an imaginary friend. I gave my friends special powers to defeat the bad guy. He was a penguin named Brainy-Beaks III. He terrorized Technaria and kidnapped Green Snitch, turned him into chocolate and almost ate him, if it wasn't for Bennifer's lasers!
