He started living in random alleys and sleeping in old junked spaceships. There were other kids like him on the station, and he quickly learned from them how to hustle for wu-longs to get from day to day. There was a old lady on the corner of the junk yard he would stay in. She would feed him when he couldn't make ends meet himself. But most nights dandy came up with enough to get something small from the store.

Life on the space station was the worst of the worst. Pit hole of the galaxy. There was never anything going on. Cargo ships came every day to drop off loads of metal, plexer plastic and various other types of building material. After that native junkers of the station would come and scavenge out the heaps for reusable parts and material. The parts would then be sold all over the space station for various amounts of wu-longs.

When the spacers would come from all over the galaxy to get deals on spare ship parts. Dandy would always sit in the docking station loading bay watching them come in. The toughest, coolest, brightest characters would pass by him. And Dandy would always stare in wonder at them, sometimes running up to ask for change from the ones he really like to get a better look.

One day he saw the baddest spacer he had ever seen walk out onto the loading bay platform.

He was an old man. Anybody could tell you that much. But he had this smile on him when he came out. It was the smile that flowed out of complete confidence, and it came off brighter than anything dandy had ever seen.

He had shorts on with a pink Hawaiian button up shirt with yellow and red flowers all over it. Ancient aviator glasses reflecting the world back on itself, backed by short blond hair that flashed bronze-gold in an aged fashion. On his wrist he wore a silver chain that looked like a chain of shining stars. With the man were two of the finest chick's dandy had ever seen. One under each arm. Their hair was long and thick, but still fluttered when they walked. Thier lips full, foxy eyes, and big beautiful Breasts! Boobies of such exquisite proportion! They had to be made in heaven. Dandy was sure if it.

Dandy thought this "this man must be god", and ran up to meet him.

"Hey old man" dandy said, panting from sprinting over as fast as he did.

"Do you got some spare change to u could give me?"

The man pulled a face.

"Why would i, give you, any of my change little man?"

Dandy slicked back his hair with one hand, and gave the man one of his famous finger points. "Because, I'm the smartest, coolest, grooviest little man on this space rock, baby". His style seemed to win the man over because he began to smile his brilliant smile again.

"And if you give me just a few wu-longs, I can show you all the best spots to buy parts from. That is why you're here, isn't it old man?"

The old man took off his aviator sunglasses showing his eyes that sparkled like the chain he wore on his wrist. He stared dandy down for a long while, and threw back his head and gave the fullest heartiest laughs that dandy had ever heard. It was so hearty in fact, that dandy himself started to laugh at how hearty it was.

"What's your name boy?"

"Dandy. What's yours?"

"Duster Callaway. Best damn bounty hunter you'll ever meet."

"Is that so?"

"Yeh as a matter matter of fact it is. And you're saying that you can help me?"

Dandy made made an obnoxious sound and looked left and right before looking back at the Duster.

"I know this junk yard better than any person in this loading bay. If there's anybody that can show you around, it's me."

The man laughed again, "Alright little man you've got yourself a deal, find me the part i need for my engine, and i'll hook you up good". Dandy couldn't have been more excited.

Duster and Dandy shook hands vigorously, and the angels on his shoulders giggled softly.

"He's so cute"

Dandy blushed and turned away quickly so they couldn't see the way his face lit up.

"The exits this way" dandy said pointing to an access shaft in the corner of the a bay.

"Lead the way little man" Duster rasped.

Duster was looking for a T-86 space engine diffuser for his ship. Apparently his had been malfunctioning for the past year and needed to be replaced. Dandy took Duster to three of the stations major dealers. The first two of them had them, but they weren't in good enough condition for the old man. The third dealer however had a diffuser in perfect condition. Duster argued with the man for almost an hour befor he got a price that he was satisfied with. Grabbing a Levi-trolly, the dealer loaded the sizable part onto the device and took the agreed amount of wu-longs from Duster. They got back to the ship before the end of the day.
