"Dude!"

"Whaaaaat? I'm trying to help you!"

"No you're not, you're making me die more!"

Rigby sucked his teeth before continuing to help his best friend, Mordecai. The duo were currently in a battle against a humongous giant. In a video game, of course.

Once the giant was almost dead, Mordecai and Rigby glanced at each other before they both pressed the "A" button. Their characters released a blue, powerful energy, quickly defeating the giant.

"You Win" was written on the TV.

"Ohhhhhhh!" they cheered in unison.

However, a familiar gumball machine stormed into the living room. "Hey! What are you two doing!?"

Mordecai and Rigby both looked at their boss before shrugging their shoulders. "We're on break." Rigby replied happily. Benson's gumballs turned to a tint of red.

"Well, your breaks are OVER! Now both of you, go outside and rake leaves or ELSE YOU'RE FIRED!" He then stormed off upstairs up to his office, where he then slammed the door.

Mordecai groaned, "Ugh! C'mon dude, let's just get this over with." the bluejay said as he walked to the door. Rigby wanted to protest, but instead he grumpily followed behind his friend.

The duo grabbed the rakes, gently raking the leaves into piles. The cold autumn wind swirled around them, warning them that winter is soon coming.

I walked down the street all by myself. There were people who were eating, talking, and having a great time with each other.

But me?

I had no one.

And no one wanted me.

In their eyes, I'm just a dirty, thieving, sick kid. I had no home. I don't even remember who my parents were or what they looked like.

Life was hard too.

Since I had no home, I was forced to sleep on the side of the street. The only clothes I wore was a worn out grey shirt with yellow stripes and dark colored pants with holes in them.

I didn't bathe much either. The only time I bathe is when it starts to rain. It didn't rain much where I am currently.

I have no idea where I am.

I've been traveling state to state, looking for food and water. The only time I ate was when sometimes people were generous enough to give me scraps of their food.

I take what I can in order to survive.

I also didn't go to school, whatever that place was. I learn from what I saw out on the street. Man, sometimes I wonder if I'll ever find a home with nice people to live with.

Maybe.

As I was walking, a noticed a large house on the far left of the street, I smiled to myself. It would be nice to live there. Thinking it's best to ask, I approached the door in front of the house. It wasn't that bad looking either.

The grass was freshly cut, it was pained a light gold, and had a couple chairs on the porch.

My legs were tired from walking and I desperately wanted to sit down to rest. I took a deep breath before knocking rather loudly.

"Who is it?" a voice asked.

I didn't respond.

After waiting a few minutes, the door opened, revealing a short mole. Her hair was a light brown an she wore glasses.

She smiled once she saw me. It was unusual for me, since most people would frown up and ignore me.

"Hi there. Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked in a happy tone. Before I could say anything, she noticed how I looked and gasped. "Oh dear, why do you look like that? Doesn't your parents know you look like this in public?"

I looked down at my feet.

"I don't have parents. I live on my own." The mole gently took my hand and brought me inside her home. I was at first hesitant, but relaxed when I smelt something good. Really good.

"Well, since you have no home, would you like to stay here? You can stay for as long as you want. I quickly nodded my head, always wanting a place to stay at.

"Yes, please. A-And what's that smell? It smells really good." The mole chuckled, "Oh that? I just got done making dinner. Want some?"

"YES!"

"Phew! Finally, done with all the work. Ready to call it a day, dude?" Mordecai said, holding out a wing. Rigby sighed, but managed to high five his friend.

"Heh, yeah. I'll see ya tomorrow dude."

Once they said their goodbyes, the duo went their own ways. They no longer lived in the park house.

They lived in their own houses with their respectable girlfriends.

Rigby and Eileen's house wasn't that far. In fact, it was a walking distance. The sky had started to turn to a dark blue-black color, signaling it was night time. The raccoon arrived at the house and took out the keys to unlock the door.

Once he opened it, the first thing he noticed was the smell.

"What is that smell? It smells GOOD!" he shouted, feeling his stomach gurgle for food. Eileen walked out of the kitchen and kissed her boyfriend on the cheek.

"Heya Rigby. I just made dinner for us. C'mon, lets eat.

Rigby rubbed his hands together as he got closer and closer to the kitchen. He couldn't wait to get a plate and-

He noticed there was another raccoon sitting at the table, stuffing her face full of the good food. "Um, Eileen?"

"Yes?"

He pointed. "Who is that?". The mole sat down at the table, placing her plate on the table. "Rigby, I want you to meet Emily. She's going to staying with us. And Emily, this is my boyfriend, Rigby."

Both raccoons locked eyes.

Rigby managed to get a good look of her. She looked like she was eleven or twelve years old. She had light brown fur with green eyes. She also had long hair that is dirty and messy.

Thinking its best to not make fun of her, Rigby went to grab a plate and prepare his food. Emily rolled her eyes and continued to eat. "So Miss Eileen, where do you think I can sleep?"

Eileen swallowed her small portion of mashed potatoes, "We have a couple of extra bedrooms upstairs. You can sleep in any one of them." she answered kindly.

Emily smiled.

Rigby, however, was not liking the idea of having someone else stay in their house. Sure, he knew her name, but he didn't know WHO she actually was. This was definitely going to be adjustment for both him and Emily.
