Bill Dauterive always wanted a child, always wanted a family. But none of his relationships worked out. Lenore left him, that reverend left him, and his recent relationship with Laoma was over. But that all changed one day in South Park Colorado. He was on vacation and was on his way to TGI Fridays for lunch when he saw a young boy in an orange parka standing outside alone in the cold. The child looked, hungry, tired, worn out. He thought something wasn't right. And so he pulled over to find out what was going on.
"Why are you standing there?"
He took off his hood, "My family kicked me out of the house."
"Oh my god! Are you okay? Do you need somewhere to stay? Here, I will take you with me. You will live with me from now on." Bill gestured for him to get in the car. And he got in the back seat.
"Since we'll live together, let's get to know each other, so why don't you start and tell me about yourself."
"I'm Kenny, my family was poor as fuck and didn't have much food and eventually decided they didn't need me and so I was thrown out."
"Sorry that you had to leave the nest at such a young age. Well, my name is Bill; I'm an army barber and single without children. Let's get you something to eat, you must be starving."
Bill drove Kenny with him to lunch, when all of the sudden, Kenny's friends looked in the window and saw him with a man they did not recognize.
"Kenny who's this? What the hell is going on?" Stan asked.
"I was kicked out of the house and Bill here saw me and took me in, so I live with him now."
Bill smiled and waved at them.
Kyle chimed in "I guess that explains why we haven't been seeing you at school lately."
"So where are we going to live?" Kenny asked.
"Well, you're coming with me to Texas"
"WHAT?" Kyle and Stan both said. They couldn't believe what was happening; they didn't want to see their friend leave them.
" Dude! You can't do that! We won't be able to see him anymore if you take him away."
"Well, I guess I could work extra shifts at the army base to earn more money and then move here."
"Okay, so if you earn enough money, you will move here and Kenny will stay with you and we can still see him?" Kyle looked at Bill waiting for an answer.
"Well yeah, don't worry boys, everything's going to be okay, you will all be able to hang out, and Kenny here will have a new home. Why don't you two join us? Lunch is on me."
Stan and Kyle shrugged and decided to stay for lunch. They talked about themselves and their family throughout their lunch. And after their meal, Stan decided he would let Kenny stay with him until Bill could manage to raise enough money and find a new job. Then the three boys left and Bill enjoyed the rest of his vacation in South Park then went back home to Arlen.
