When I woke up the sun beaming in the window from the now blank window. I sat up and heard voices one of them sounded like lucas' I quickly deflated the mattress and put it held on to it as I walked out. I saw Lucas and two of his friends talking but they stopped when I came out and looked at me. The female of that group being Kumatora or kuma for short walked up to me and spoke.
"Make sure you come and visit us for Christmas and stuff" she said with a rather nice tone of voice. Then the older looking male came up and did the same his name being Duster.
"Yeah it's gonna kind of boring with just her here" he gestured towards Kuma, but for once she didn't lash out.
"It sure will be, so just remember us OK?" she said waiting for my answer.
"I will Kuma don't worry" I reassured her and patted her on her head and then looked at lucas, who wasn't upset in the least bit.
"Dad I'm ready" he said with his yellow backpack in his hand I walked over to the car and unlocked It and we got inside when kuma walked over to his window and spoke.
"Remember what we told you Lucas" she said and winked as to signal something. He nodded his head and sat back in the car and waited for it to drive off, Duster and kuma still standing in the driveway. As soon as I felt he finished talking to them, I slowly back out of the driveway and drove until we couldn't see then anymore. Lucas looked down at his hands and smiled, I was confused by that.
"I thought you were still upset?" I asked lucas looked up
"Well not really I kind of get why were moving so I'm happy" he said
"Well good then I'm glad you have a positive attitude towards this" I said smiling lucas nodded his head and looked out the window admiring all the things he saw even asking me about what some of them were. After about three and a half days we finally arrived at the new house, lucas, eager to see what the house looked like from the inside, took the keys and ran inside leaving me to bring in the boxes we had in the car until the movers came with the rest.
"Dad this place is huge" lucas said running towards me
"You think so?, it's the same two bedroom house that were used to living in" I said
"Well I'm a kid so it's big to me" lucas said
"I guess so but could you just get the smaller boxes if there to heavy just leave them" I said
"Sure dad" he ran out to the car bringing the small boxes that weren't as heavy. The movers came as soon as we got everything out of the car, I sighed and used a towel to wipe the sweat off of my forehead and began to get the boxes from the truck. Lucas offered his help but I don't want him to hurt himself so I refused but instead told him he should go explore the neighborhood and see if there was anything interesting to do, lucas grabbed his backpack and left, I grabbed a water bottle that was now warm but it was better than nothing. Once I finished it I looked through the curtain less window and saw lucas sitting down in there yard holding something in his hand. I was about to go out there and ask hi what's he doing but before I could do anything a boy who looked about the same age as lucas ran up to him and sat down with him. I didn't want to feel like i was stalking my son so I just smiled and began to unpack the boxes that were already inside. After about 20 minutes of unpacking lucas and his friend came in the house laughing behind me when lucas spoke.
"Dad" I turned around to see them with their hands sticky with chocolate and there faces with big grins "I made a friend" he said licking some the chocolate off his fingers "And he gave me some of his candy but it melted in out hands before we could eat it" I looked at his friend and then at lucas
"I see but why don't you introduce us then?" I squatted down to get to eye level with them
"OK well this is my dad his name is marth, and dad this is Ness" I looked at the boy and got a better look at him, he had a red baseball cap hiding his black hair, and he wore a similar shirt to lucas' but his was yellow and blue he also wore shorts that were blue.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Marth" he took out his hand but put it back seeing as how he had chocolate on it
"Nice to meet you as well Ness, but I think you two should go wash your hands" they nodded their heads
"The bathroom is just down the hallway right dad" forgetting that we just moved here, I didn't expect him to know where it was.
"Yes lucas" I said before they ran for the bathroom and washed their hands. I smiled, I guess it was really easy for him to make friends I don't know why I was so worried in the first place. I unpacked another box while waiting for them to come back, once they did there hands were clean and they came back in front of me.
"Hey dad can we go over to Ness' house?" he asked him
"Please my dad always wants to meet my friends parents he's strict like that" Ness said
"Well if it's just to meet you dad sure then" I said wiping more sweat from my forehead
"All right let's go then" ness and lucas left first running across the street, where cars stopped to let them go by. I walked and finally caught up to them at his house, it looked like ours but just a bit bigger. Ness opened the door while me and lucas waited for him to return. When ness came back he was pulling a larger man's hands to the door, once he finally got him to the door he stood up straight and I got taken by his appearance. He had short spiky dark blue hair, and his eyes were a gorgeous blue, and his height was something he reached the door frame probably had to duck when ever he walked through it. He was wearing a black dress shirt and tan pants, he wasn't wearing any shoes but who would in there own house!
"Dad!" lucas snapped me out my trance
"Oh well um hello there" I held out my hand he shook it, his hands were huge compared to mine and he griped my hand tightly.
"Nice to meet you" his voice deep but still sounded like he was a teenager "My name's Ike" I will cherish that name forever, ness and lucas smirked to each other but I ignored for the time being and went back to ike.
"Well my name is marth and it's a pleasure to meet you" I said
"Same here, oh but come in" he moved out of the way and I stepped inside.
"Were gonna play outside dad!" ness said
"OK then come back inside once were done talking OK?" ike said, ness nodded his head and ran outside with lucas leaving me with ike. He sat down on one of the leather couches he had while remained standing. "Don't be shy sit down" he pointed to the other couch on the other side. The leather was cool on my sweaty back as I sat down. "I know it's only been a day but how are you liking it so far?" he asked
"It's pretty good, but it'll be better once I get my place all set up" I smiled
"Yeah I see the truck and seem like you have a lot left" he said
"Yes but it's no hassle I'll probably be done later today" he said
"Well do you need any help?" he asked
"Oh no I wouldn't want to bother you I'm fine by myself" even if I really did need help, I don't want to hassle him
"It's no bother really, and besides anyways you're my neighbor so why not help out" he stood up and grabbed some shoes in the corner of the room and slipped them on.
"Well thanks then" I stood up and had to look up just to see his face, he smiled down at me and I walked out, he followed me closing the door behind him. Outside we saw lucas and ness chasing a butterfly they stopped and looked at us.
"Where are you going?" lucas asked
"Ike said he was going to help me to unpack some of the boxes back home, do you want to stay here or go back home?" I asked
"Back home" they both said and then ran back to the house
"Glad to see that ness likes him" ike said putting his hands in his pocket and walking down the street, I followed close behind him.
"Yes, I thought lucas would have had a hard time making friends, looks like I was wrong" I smiled and saw them stop for breath and then resumed running again.
"Well we should hurry up before it gets to late" ike said walking a little faster as did I
"Yeah we should" I said walking back to my house.
