Alright this is a new story. It's about Mordecai and Margaret with their 6 year old son Milo. I thought of this while watching Fright Night. I have no idea where Milo came from but he's so cute. Anyway. The Quintel family buys a new house. It's perfect, but there's something fishy about this place and Mordecai is determined not to let it harm his family! I hope ya'll like it as much as you liked A Change Between us

"A little place of our own would be nice" Margaret smiled as she flipped through a magazine, "Rent's a pain"

Mordecai nodded, "Yea but…Milo's practically grown up here"

Milo was Mordecai and Margaret's 6 year old son. He had dark blue feathers with his mother's brown eyes.

The couple had been married for 8 years. In their first year of marriage, Mordecai had moved into Margaret's apartment. Then she suddenly got pregnant with Milo. They'd raised Milo in the tiny apartment but due to their son, soon to be starting elementary school. They'd need to be closer to the school, the park and the Coffee Shop.

The cardinal sighed, "He's only 6 years old. He's getting too old for his bedroom. That walk-in-closet"

Mordecai let out a sigh, "I'll miss this place though"

She nodded, "I know. I'll miss it too. But it's for Milo" She gave a kiss on the cheek.

"For me"? Milo asked. Peeking out from his bedroom. "What's going on"?

Mordecai turned, "We're gonna have to move"

Tears filled up Milo's eyes, "No! No! We can't move! I was gonna start school with Ruben! We can't move"!

Margaret awed, "Sweetie! Don't cry" She dried his tears, "we're moving to a bigger house, closer to school ok"?

Milo sniffled. Ruben had been his best friend since they were in diapers. Ruben was Rigby and Eileen's son. A golden furred mole with a raccoon tail and black hair. His father named him after the ruben sandwich. When Ruben was four, Eileen gave birth to a raccoon/mole hybrid. A brown raccoon with a mole tail named Emma.

Margaret kissed her son's forehead, "We'll still be near Rigby and Eileen. Ok"?

Milo smiled, "Ok"

The next day:

Margaret went to work while Mordecai drove Milo pass houses. "What bout this one Mi"?

Milo shook his head, "It's pink Dad" He scowled.

The blue jay chuckled as he kept driving until he spotted a house. It looked perfect. He pulled up in the driveway. The house was beautiful. It was a two story, yellow painted with a bluish roof.

Mordecai smiled, "What do you think"?

Milo shrugged, "It looks pretty big"

The blue jay walked around seeing a littler house connected to the house with screen windows along with a screen door.

"This is perfect" Mordecai said quietly. He looked at his son, "C'mon let's buy this for Mommy"

Milo nodded, "Yeauh"!

They headed towards the car only to hear a voice, "Can I help you sir"?

They turned to see a man with brown hair, wearing jeans and a red shirt, "Oh no. We're just looking" Mordecai smiled.

The man smiled, "Oh! I'm Reggie Thompson! I live next door" He pointed at the blue painted house next door, "I've been lookin for a new neighbor"

Mordecai smiled, "Well, it's perfect! I'm totally gonna buy it"! He stuck out his hand, "I'm Mordecai Quintel" They shook hands.

Reggie grinned, "Who's this little fella"?

The blue jay looked down, to see Milo was hiding behind his dad's leg, "That's my son, Milo. He's only 6"

Reggie smiled, "Hey there Milo. I'm gonna be your new neighbor"

Milo smiled shyly, "Ok.."

Mordecai chuckled, "Don't worry. He's shy at first then he'll be himself"

Reggie grinned, "Nice meeting ya Mordecai and Milo. I hope ya guys buy the house"!

The blue jay called after him. "We will"!

A few days later:

"Are they closed"? Mordecai asked again as he led Margaret out of the car.

She nodded, "Yes. Honey. They are" She smiled.

Milo covered his mouth, trying hard not to blurt out the surprise.

Mordecai led his wife to the middle of the yard, "Alright…you can open your eyes"

The cardinal blinked her eyes to gasp, "Oh it's beautiful"! She wrapped her wings around her husband, "I love it"!

He chuckled, giving her a kiss, "I'm glad you like it. I bought it"

She jumped up and down excitedly, "Oh my god"! She hugged her son, "Milo! Aren't you excited"

Milo smiled, "Yep"

They unload the truck, placing everything where it should and fully moved in. Mordecai went to go fix up a little man-cave for himself up in the attic while Milo took a nap. Margaret walked to the backyard, looking around. It was a garden. She smiled, "Oh roses"! She smiled.

"Hey there"! A voice called.

She turned towards the fence, "Oh hello" She smiled, "I'm the new neighbor. My husband just bought this place"

Reggie smiled, "Well. I'm Reggie, the neighbor" He extended his hand.

Margaret shook his hand, "Margaret Quintel"

He tilted his head, "Mordecai's your husband"?

The cardinal nodded, "Yea, it's been eight years now. We've been together for 10 years"

Reggie laughed, "Perfect marriage huh"?

Before Margaret could speak, Milo called. "Moommmmy"!

She smiled, looking back at the house, "Sorry. My son's calling me" She raced off, inside.

Reggie's smile dropped, "Mordecai doesn't deserve her! She's beautiful"! He walked off muttering, "I'll make her love me"!

Margaret ran upstairs to her son's bedroom, he was in his Captain America pajamas with his bear in one hand and blanket in the other, the cardinal lifted him up, "Someone woke up from naptime" She smiled, passing her husband in the hall, "Honey"?

Mordecai turned, "Hmm"?

She gave him another kiss, "This is a perfect house"

The blue jay chuckled, "Glad to know"

Sorry this was so short, I promise it'll get longer but. I really hope you guys liked it! Who's this Reggie guy? Why does he like Margaret so much? Think Mordecai will stop him? Think Reggie will steal Margaret's heart? Just wait until chapter 2!
