"Oh boy! I can't wait to see Uncle Parappa!" Blu shouts with happiness as the father and son duo drive to town.

"Heh, you're real excited to see him, aren't ya?" PJ glanced at his son through the rearview mirror, with his tired yet loving expression.

"Yeah! He's so cool! He's the best rapper in the world!" The blue bear boy exclaims as he starts to jump up and down from his seat.

"Yeah, we did our fair share of concerts in our teenage years." PJ states, remembering his teen years.

"We toured a lot with a famous rapper, King Kong Mushi, Parappa and I were the opening act of his concerts. That's how we rose in popularity, but shortly after your Uncle and I graduated high school, King Kong Mushi…passed away." PJ sighed.

"Parappa was pretty upset, and the two of us tried to tour ourselves, but I guess people only really cared about Mushi. So we stopped." PJ was feeling sad, remembering their fall from relevance. Blu listened quietly, noticing his Dad's mood.

"I guess that I took the news that we weren't as big as we thought better than your Uncle…I married your Mom when we were 19, and she gave birth to you a year later. So we settled down almost immediately I guess." Papa bear explains to his son.

"Dad…were you and Mom…happy when you had me?" The hybrid child questions his father.

"What? Of course we were!" PJ exclaims, slightly surprised at the question. "Your mother and I weren't really the type to run around, like most college aged people, so we settled down. But as for Parappa…" PJ lowered his gaze.

"He…really didn't take the news as well as I did, you know. He…" PJ looks kinda distraught.

"You know what…it doesn't matter. We're almost there anyway!" PJ says, changing the subject.

...

The adult bear parked along the apartment building Parappa lived in.

"Oh sweet! We're here!" Blu jumped up as he unbuckled his seatbelt.

The two walked inside the apartment building, and as they approached Parappa's door, the sound of an average rap beat could be heard, along with a voice.

"I'm the best at the game, nothing is the same. I'm gonna teach ya, or I'm gonna beat…ya?"

The sound of an audible sigh could be heard through the other side of the door. PJ then proceeded to knock on it .

"AAGH! Boxxy, cut the music!" The beat stopped shortly afterwards.

"Look Jimmy, I don't have your money today, so-"

The grown up dog stopped mid-sentence as he opened the door, seeing who it is.

"PJ! Blu! What's up!" Parappa said with a smile, happy to see his friend and "nephew."

"UNCLE PARAPPA!" Blu shouted as he jumped on top of Parappa to hug him, causing him to fall down.

"Hey little dude! How are you?" Parappa laughed.

"I'm good!" The bear flower boy said with a grin.

"Nice, how about you Peej?" Parappa said, fist bumping his best friend.

"I'm doing good. How about you though?" PJ asked his friend.

"Oh me? Oh I'm fine! I mean…I'm healthy I guess, so…I'm good." Parappa says, a little nervous. The orange beanie wearing dog turned around to see Blu petting a worn Boxxy Boy, who's missing an eye, and has a few scrapes.

Parappa turned back to PJ and whispered to him, "Can I talk to you outside in the hallway?" PJ nodded, and the two adults left the apartment, closing the door behind them.

Blu turns around and sees this, but he isn't concerned. He takes this time to explore the apartment.

Blu notices that the apartment itself is kinda messy and run down, he enters Parappa's bedroom and looks around. With Boxxy Boy following, interested in the young boy. The bed is messy and unkept, the closet was kinda empty, with barely any clothes.

Blu then checked the cabinets, curiously peeking in them to see if he can find anything to play with. All he found was socks, underwear, bottles of some kind of medicine, and a note of some sort.

Blu picked it up to see if he could read it. It was a letter written to Parappa. The words on it were roughly scribbled and long, so Blu didn't know what most of them meant, but he recognized a few; "Money", "late", "…or else". Blu shrugged, and put the piece of paper in his pocket. He went back to the living room as the two adults returned inside.

"Hey buddy! Sorry we took so long!" Parappa said with a big smile, Blu didn't know it was a forced one.

"It's okay!" Blu said as he hugged Parappa's leg.

"Hey Blu, I think it's time we go soon." PJ said as he put his hand on his son's shoulder.

"But…but we just got here Daddy…" Blu mopes as he hears this.

"Uncle Parappa's very busy, so we need to get going." PJ says to the boy, holding his hand.

"Oh…alright…bye bye Uncle Parappa." Blu waves as he leaves with his Dad.

"Uh, yeah, bye Blu!" Parappa smiles as the two leave the apartment. After they are gone, Parappa sits on the couch and sighs, holding his hands against his face, as Boxxy Boy pats the dog's knee.
