A/N

I had to try this after reading ravenfire5's awesome oneshot and felt like writing a series of one shotys about Mr Shumway and his antics on Earth since he is now public plus they're gonna involve Streaky.

In this one shot, Streaky is having a rough time until he meets an old friend there and gives him a place to styay.

It was a cool Summer night but the cool breeze blew through a tough Melmacian male's fur even though he was wearing a leather jacket, fingerless gloves, biker boots and a black baker boy cap and had been fending for himself since he came to this planet and unlike another certain Melmacian, he didn't have a family or others to count on but lived in a homeless shelter, and the people there didn't know what he truly was because he said he was hairy which they bought.

He was pretty hungry and had scrounged a couple of dollars from busking on the streets and had enough for coffee or a doughnut since it wouldn't sate all his eight stomachs but it would do for now entering the coffeehouse, going to the cashier.

"A latte and a muffin please." he said gruffly but didn't have enough.

"Put it on my tab." he heard a familiar voice say.

He was stunned seeing his old Orbit Guard buddy in a miltary green uniform wearing an army grren cap since he wondered what had happened to him.

"Come on Streak, you don't have to be shy since I missed seeing ya." he said.

Streaky blushed at his old friennd's sweetness knowing e'd been here a long time as they sat at a vacant table.

"So, things are working out huh?

Melissa says you perform a lot, on sidewalks." he said.

Streaky nodded and remembered they kind of sent letters to each other but Streaky hadn't replied which had made Gordon worry.

"It's okay, to live in a shelter Streaky." he said.

"H-How did you?" Streaky asked.

"Well after you didn't write back, I got worried and asked Melissa to find you and she and Rick traced ya to a shelter.

You shouldn't be ashamed as not everybody can have a family.

Maybe you can move in with me, since I'm gonna be living with Lynn and her kid." he said as Streaky's black, beady eyes widened.

"T-They wouldn't mind?" Streaky asked.

"Nope since Lynn's house is huge!" Gordon told him.

Streaky smiled after taking the piece of paper with the address but realised he had to go before people worried.

Gordon hugged him before leaving.

Gordon felt bad for him knowing even back home on Melmac, others were mean to him and hoped that Streaky would think about it.

Back in the shelter, Streaky was looking at old photos but remembered what Gordon had said but sighed as he knew that being around friends was better than being alone, finding the piece of paper his friend had given him making up his mind.

"What the heck, as it might work." he said packing his things and leaving wandering the streets until he found the address climbing in through a window by using a trash can hearing footsteps, seeing h8is friend drop the weapon he was holding, relieved it was Streaky.

"I decided to live with you guys." he said.

"Great!

Let's tell Lynnie or better yet surprise her!" Gordon said as Streaky was unsure.

"Maybe we should wait until morning, because she's sleeping." Streaky told him.

He nodded seeing him get a snack, but Streaky was on the couch, getting sleepy as his eyes closed in sleep.

The next morning, Lynn was stunned finding one of Gordon's friends there seeing her daughter Kayla stunned.

"Okay, Streaky can stay but you've gotta help him."

"No problem!" Gordon replied.
