Chapter One:
How It All Began…
In the college town of Lafayette in the state of Indiana in a hospital…
The sound of a baby crying permeated the air as the first child, a boy, of a family of Blue Jays was born. The big problem was what to name the baby. James? Chris? Michael? It was just so hard to decide until the father made a decision. He decided that since it was the 8th day of the month May, the name would be eight letters. He pulled out his phone and googled "8 letter name for May baby". He then chose the best name he saw. Mordecai. Google will name your children, and it's that simple.
This family of Blue Jays had a new member.
The same day at a hospital in Portland, Oregon
"Aww, he's so cute!" said the new mother of a cute baby raccoon soon to be named Rigby. The father gave his wife a kiss and said that he would go home for the night.
The parents of this baby had no misgivings about what to name their baby and they had already decided a long time ago what to name their baby if one ever came along.
The dad looked at this little ball of fur too and smiled. "Our new baby," he said tenderly to his wife.
This raccoon family also had a new member.
As time passes these two babies get older and older until they both turn 13, and that's when our story resumes.
P.S. The next chapter will be longer...
