Piper walked up to the steps of the house holding a box. She quietly sat down and placed the box next to her and reached into her bag and pulled out "Forevermore" and read it from where she left off until the others would come around.
After about thirty minutes of reading, Piper saw a familiar gumball machine and goat walk up to the house. "Oh Piper, You're early." Benson said a little surprised, "Yeah, I'm full of surprises." Piper smiled, "I just wanted to pick up something special." Piper picked up the white box and opened it to reveal about a dozen pastries.
"Hey, You got me a whole wheat donut." Benson said even more surprised, "Yeah, I also know what all the park workers like." She giggled, Benson walked over and took his whole wheat donut, Thanked her, and dunked it in his coffee. "You guys can just wait here and eat some pastries I guess." Benson said, "But for your first chores...Thomas, you wash the truck. Piper, you empty the dumpster." Benson walked away.
"Yeah right, dumpster...I'll be right on that Benson!" Piper said sarcastically, She slouched back and murmured, "Never." with a smile. Thomas noticed one of the pastries and he wondered what it was. "What's that?" Thomas pointed to the pastry, "Cheesecake Brownie." Piper smiled, She took out the cheesecake brownie and split it in half. "Want half?" Piper asked holding out a half in her hand, "I really don't care."
"It's worth a shot." Thomas shrugged as he took the half. They both each took a bite out of their halves, "Whoa, This is incredible!" Thomas said impressed, "Uh huh." Piper nodded, "They're my favorite." "My Mom makes like, the best brownies EVER! you should definitely try them sometime." Piper bragged,
Thomas frowned to that sentence and looked down at the ground. "What? Don't tell me that your mom never made you brownies!" Piper laughed as she stuffed her half in her mouth, "I never knew my mother. She abandoned me when I was a baby." Thomas said sadly, Piper was trying her best to swallow two things. The brownie and what she had just heard, She had never heard something that upsetting. "Then who raised you?" Piper asked, "The Russian Government, That's how I became a spy in the first place." Thomas answered, "Why did she abandon you?" Piper asked, "I don't know." Thomas sighed, he stood up, " I guess I just wasn't good enough for her."
Piper watched him as he walked away sadly to go wash the park truck. It pained Piper to see him like this, Whenever one of the park members was heartbroken or deeply depressed, She would always feel major sympathy for them. Piper wanted to do something to help, And she knew just the thing to do.
Three hours later, Mordecai and Rigby were walking down the hall while eating chimichangas and wearing their "It's chimichanga Time" hats when they heard some commotion going on in the computer room. They peeked inside to see Piper sitting at the computer doing a lot of typing. They walked in and took her by surprise, "What are you doing?" Mordecai asked, Piper jumped at the sound of Mordecai's voice. She turned to see the avian and the raccoon, "N-Nothing. I'm doing nothing." Piper stuttered, Rigby looked past her at the screen. "Who's your ?" Rigby said confused, "Why are you on that site?"
Piper knew that lying wasn't going to work so she decided to tell the truth straight out. She sighed, "Fine, Thomas seems down about being an orphan and I'm trying to find his mom." She answered, Mordecai and Rigby were a little shocked, They watched her over her shoulder as she typed. "How did you even get into this site? It's credit card only." Mordecai asked, "I may have stolen Benson's credit card." Piper squeaked out nervously, "You what?" Mordecai shouted, "Cool!" Rigby yelled, I didn't know that you could do that!"
"It was really easy actually." Piper said, "The door to Benson's office was open and I just snuck in and snatched the card before he came back." "It was pretty stupid. I mean, What guy leaves his office unlocked and his credit card alone in there, you know?" Piper leaned back laughing, "Let's just find this woman." Mordecai said,
Piper answered all the questions and she was breezing through them. Until she came to the final question. "What is your blood type?" Piper read the question aloud, she whirled around in the chair, "You guys know Thomas' blood type?" Piper asked, "No, we thought you knew." Mordecai said, "I know him well but not that well." "Well then there's only one place to go." Piper said narrowing her eyes.
One minute they were in the computer room, Now they were in
Doctor Henry's office. Doctor Henry skimmed the files in his filing cabinet. He pulled out a file and said, "Here we are, Thomas' medical records." He placed it on a nearby table and opened the file. "Now let's see here…." Doctor Henry said, "Aha, Thomas has AB-." "The most uncommon blood type?" Piper asked, "That's right." Doctor Henry replied, "Well, Thanks for the information." Piper said, "Let's go guys." She then dragged the avian and the raccoon out as they exited the room.
When they got back to the house, Piper typed the information into the computer. Finally, the results came up. "Well, what does it say?" Rigby asked, "It says her name is Alexandra Varvara." Piper answered, "It also says she lives in the area right around where Thomas was born. And here's a number." Piper said pointing to a phone number on the screen, "Well, What are we waiting for?" Rigby asked, "Call her!"
Mordecai dialed the number on the kitchen phone. Piper listened to the phone ringing on the other side in Russia just waiting to be answered.
Finally, A line picked up. "Hello?" A female voice said on the other side of the conversation. She had a Russian accent. "Uh...khoroshego dyna." Piper said looking at google translate on her phone as she talked, "Oh, It's okay, it's okay. I speak english." The woman said, "Oh, Well in that case…" Piper said, "Did you give away a child twenty three years ago? And did you leave him to the state?" Piper asked, The woman was silent for a minute. She didn't quite know how to easily respond to that question. After a while, She finally spoke, "Yes, And it pained and tortured me to leave him. Why do you ask?" the woman sounded very curious. "Because we know where he is…" Piper said, "He's here with us! Well, not here to talk on the phone but he's somewhere around here." Piper explained, "We were hoping maybe you could come and see him."
"I don't know." The woman said unsurely, "He may not want to see me after what I did to him." she said shaking her head, "And..Who are you and why are you asking me all these questions?"
"I'm his...friend…" Piper said, "And he wouldn't hate you. The last time we talked about you he got depressed, He thinks you didn't want him. Maybe you should come here to prove him wrong."
The woman thought about it, She just wasn't sure. But then again, This could be a chance to see her baby boy after all these years.
"You know what? I'll come, but how do I pay for the plane trip?" she asked, "Don't worry, I can handle that." Piper said holding up Benson's credit card with a devious smile.
Three days later, All of the guys and Piper were chilling out near the front gate of the park screwing around when a taxi pulled up to the gate.
The taxi door opened and out came a middle aged female goat with straight black hair with a small bag under each eye. She looked a lot like the robot that they used to gather information at the Thanksgiving party except for the hair color and was a bit chubbier. She was wearing a light turquoise blue T-shirt with a grey black and white checkered jacket with fur inside the hood with tight-looking jeans and furry moccasin boots just like the one's Piper had.
"Hey, That woman kinda looks like…" Muscle Man squinted, "Me…" Thomas said a little confused, The woman walked into the park and looked around, admiring the park because it looked so much better than the ones back at home.
"There she is!" Piper squealed, "Who?" Thomas asked, Piper was smiling and holding in all of her excitement. "...Your mother…" She smiled,
Piper found Thomas' MOTHER! How will he react to this? To be Continued...
