The next couple of days, Aleu's mood didn't change much. She felt as though she had gone all that way across the sea to get home for nothing. It didn't matter where she was, she felt like an outcast. Like a freak. Like she didn't belong anywhere.

One night, Ralph and Kirby walked into the boiler room. They saw Aleu lying on the floor, chewing on a bone.

"Hey, Aleu," said Kirby.

Aleu looked up. "Oh, hey, guy's."

"Where's Kodi and Dusty?" asked Kirby.

"Oh, their on a date," said Aleu. "But you guys can hang out if you want. Although you probably wont because who wants to hang out with me?" Aleu looked down at the floor and sobbed.

"Hey, don't put yourself down like that," said Ralph. "We'd love to hang out with you."

Aleu looked back up. "Okay, uh, great. Let me just go get some more food first." She got up to walk out the door.

"Oh, that's okay," said Kirby. "We're not hungry."

"Yeah, I meant for me," said Aleu. She walked out of the room.

"Wow, Kodi's sister seems pretty bummed," said Kirby. "You know, we should try to cheer her up. I know! One of us should take her out on a date. That might make her feel better."

"Well I can't do it," said Ralph. "I have a girlfriend."

"That didn't stop you the last time," said Kirby.

Ralph glared at him.

Kirby sighed. "Fine, I'll take her out."
