Title: Guess Ese's Comin' to Town

Disclaimer: I do not own the Boondocks, but I do own Joker.

"Riley, hurry up or we're going to miss the bus," yelled Huey as he put on his dirty green backpack.

"I'm lookin' for my gameboy. You know how borin' classes get. So get of my nuts already Huey," yelled Riley from his & Huey's room. He was making a mess. He moved things and didn't put them the way he found them. "Man, forget this shit. I'll just draw in class then." Riley gave up, and then ran downstairs.

"It's about time," said Huey as he opened the door.

"Whatever, let's go." Riley darted out.

Both Riley and Huey ran to the bus stop. Luckily for them the bus was running a little late. They found that out when there was still kids by the bus stop. Among the crowd, there was one boy who was standing there by himself. He had earphones in his ears boomin' loud music, and he was bobbing his head to what he was listening to. His style consisted of blue Dickies slacks, and a plaid baggie button-up shirt buttoned up all the way to the top, blue Nike Cortez's, and slicked back hair. Riley and Huey knew he wasn't white because he was slightly tan. They turned away when the new boy turned to them.

"S'up dudes." He hollered to the Freeman boys.

"S'up." Riley hollered back. Huey didn't respond. He felt suspicious about the new boy.

"Man, I was a lil' scared when I came to this bus stop. I thought I was the only one in this whole neighborhood who isn't white." He said in his southern Mexican accent.

"Who are you?" asked Huey a little curiously.

"I'm Roberto Menendez, but my homeboys call me Joker cuz I like to joke a lot." He told Huey with no hesitation.

"Word, well I'm Riley, and this fool with the big-ass afro," Riley cocked his head towards Huey, "is Huey." Riley felt a burst of excitement when he realized he wouldn't be the only gangster in his neighborhood. Huey had a bad feeling about him. He figured he might not be as bad as Thugnificent, but he might be worse than Riley.

The bus finally arrived. The Freeman boys sat together like they always did. Joker sat on the seat right next to them. He put his feet on the seat so no one would sit next to him. Not that he had to though. Nobody really wanted to get close to him. That's why he was by himself at the bus stop.

"So what grade are you in Riley?" Joker asked.

"I'm in the third grade." Riley replied.

"And you Huey?" Joker directed his attention to Huey. He felt Huey didn't get a good vibe from him.

"I'm in fifth," he replied with no emotion.

"For real," Joker raised his eyebrows. "I'm in the fifth too. Whose yo' teacher?"

"Mr. Petto."

"Chale," Joker felt excited. "He is gonna be my teacher too. Now I have someone to talk to in class." Joker smiled, exposing his gold tooth.

Wonderful, thought Huey.

"So where you vatos from, cuz I know you two ain't from here." Joker asked.

"Chi-town," represented Riley.

"That's cool. I'm from east L.A." Joker made his hands into the symbol for L.A.

"Why'd you move all the way to Woodcrest?" Huey got more curious.

"My mom went to jail just last week, and my uncle is the only family I got who would take me in. He lives in this neighborhood. He moved here when he wanted to start a new life, and to leave behind the gang life," Joker sounded a little sad.

"Well we were sent here to straighten out." Riley blurted out.

"Dang," was all Joker could say.

The bus got to the school a little late, but Joker didn't walk like he was in a hurry. Huey started to walk fast, but then stopped when he realized Riley wasn't following him. He turned his head left and right, then turned around, and saw Riley was walking slowly with Joker.

"Hahahaa," Riley laughed. "You be a funny nigga," he told Joker.

"That's why homies call me Joker. I can make the baddest gang bangers drop in laughter." Joker joked around.

"Riley we're already late. Let's go." Huey was getting annoyed.

"You can go ahead. I'll catch you at lunch." Riley said. Then he ignored Huey, and focused all his attention towards Joker.

Huey did just go to class. He should have expected Riley to immediately befriend any other gang banger wanabe, regardless of race or background. He knew how desperatly Riley needed someone close to his age to relate to. When he got to class, he told Mr. Petto the bus got there late, and then he took a seat at his desk. Ten minutes later, Joker finally arrived. He handed Mr. Petto a piece of paper.

"So you're new. I'm Mr. Petto. I hope you enjoy this class." Mr. Petto said with a big grin.

"I hope so too," Joker said sarcastically.

"Why don't you introduce yourself to the class," Mr.Petto suggested. Then Joker stood right in front of the black board.

"Hey, my name is Roberto Menendez, and I moved here all the way from Los Angeles," Joker said briefly. It was obvious to Huey that Joker didn't want to get close to the other kids.

"That's nice. Now go take a seat right behind Huey. He's the one with the afro." Mr. Petto instructed.

"I know Huey." Joker said. He took a seat. "Damn, I didn't think are teacher would look older than Orville Redenbacher. In my mind I pictured him looking like that fat fool from Family Guy for some reason." He whispered to Huey. Huey didn't respond. Until lunch, Huey didn't talk to Joker, and Joker kept to himself and tried to draw a picture of a joker, but they looked terrible. He'd never been good at drawing.

When the bell rang for lunch Huey left without saying anything to Joker. As he walked down the hall, Huey almost jumped out of his shoes when Joker put his hand on Huey's shoulder.

"So we gonna meet that brother of yours or what?" Joker asked, and then removed his hand from Huey's shoulder.

"He meets me in the cafeteria." Huey said without turning towards Joker. Huey wasn't too happy about having to eat with Joker. He didn't really like eating with Riley for that matter, but he didn't have any other option.

"Ah." Joker replied.

Huey didn't have to great a time eating. Riley and Joker joked around, and talked about hip hop and gangs. They even agued who's better a better rapper, if Lil' Rob or Gangstalicious. They worked on his nerves.

"Hey, who's that pretty hyna?" Joker was looking at Jazmine. "She's pretty."

"That's Jazmine." Riley answered. "But you won't want her. She's annoying."

"Whatever, I still like her." Joker argued. He checked her out till the end of lunch, and made no attempt to hide it. He liked her innocent look.

The rest of the day went by like the first half. Joker fell asleep at his desk an hour before school ended. Mr. Petto didn't notice at all. Huey just wanted the day to end.

Once the bell rang, Joker walked behind Huey. He felt a little hurt that Huey was trying to ignore him. Joker would ignore him too, but he was on outcast at school the same way Huey and Riley were. He figured that they should stick together.

On the bus ride home, Joker and Riley joked around. That was their new thing. They acted like they've been homeboys for years. Huey just kept to himself like he'd always had.

"See you vatos tomorrow." Joker told the Freeman boys as they got off the bus.

"Bye," Huey simply said.

"Adios amigo," Riley tried to relate to his new friend.

Day One: End

A/N: Hyna means girl, vato means dude, and chale means cool, for those of you who don't know Mexican American slang. In the comics, Mr. Petto is Huey's teacher, and Riley's teacher is some woman. Hope ya'll like the first chapter. R&R porvavo(please).
