Previously,

Gregory manages to meet the whole gang (well not entirely) but the wolf distance herself from him for her personal reason. By the time the finish preparing, the host call them out to the stage to perform. In the midst of joy, a piece of vegetable was thrown at Roxanne. The little boy provides a little item to help clean it off.

Story

Chica, Fredina and Montina currently entertaining the fan. Some of the kids asking them for a signature on their shirts and the parents took a picture with the entertainer. Only Roxanne left sitting in the backroom cleaning herself, another dreadful day for her. Gregory left the scene due to him dislike being in a crowd of people. He planned to check on the Wolf, how is she fairing from early turmoil. Along the way, he thinks to himself what to say to her and how to break the ice.

There she is sat all by herself. When no one else was in the room, his eyes are set on her and only her. She looks magnificent. She has a slim curvy body, her breast size similar to Montina and a child bearing hips. Her height is the same to Fredina. Her whole body radiated an aura of confidence in her appearance. Obviously, that level of confidence is to be expected. Beneath her beautiful and sexy face, she had an unhappy expression. However, that expression didn't detract from her beauty at all. Moreover, she smells so sweet. Her fresh and mellow scent tingles his nose.

"Are you alright Roxanne" the little boy approach with cautious. The lady wolf suddenly glares at him "Yes, everything is just 'peachy'" she expresses sarcastically. It's quite difficult for him to get through her. "Does this um, happen occasionally?" at least this way she'll open up little by little. "Are you trying to pour hot water into my wound?" She takes a look in the mirror, frowning in annoyance. Instinctively, He feel danger and begin stepping back. Gregory can't even move his legs, his legs felt as if it's been nailed down to floor. His mouth felt dry and he could feel the air in the room becoming heavier by the minute.

He mustered up all the courage he head to speak up "I wouldn't wish that even for my enemy, I just wanted to know that's all" he chose his words carefully because she looks as if she'll eat him. Least, she could do is tell him, well not everything. Despite his good nature, she can't take any chance of sharing everything because she barely knew him even though she knows bits about Gregory from Montina. "I have bad history with kids" even slight information is enough for him and he'll leave it that, not wanting to push her button any further.

"I think you have some leftover on your hair, I'll help clean it for you" he grabs the comb and a stool to stand on it to even with her height. She sighs in defeat and let him does so. In addition, Gregory is the first person she let anyone touch her hair. Surprisingly, Roxanne found comfort in his touch, closes her eyes nearly dozing off. She snaps out of it "Are you done". Gregory pulls his hand away and hold a small mirror behind her "Done, have a look." For a child, she was marvel by his work but she does not show him the satisfaction. She snorts "It's alright." Subsequently, he felt relief that he did a good job.

Roxanne head to the rack of clothes and switch to her normal clothes. She detaches her dress from the hanger but it seems to be snag on something. She pulls and pulls but its not coming off. Now a person with patient bearing pains or trials calmly or without complaint would first, look for the source that causing the snag and second, the person would unbind it or cut it free. Instead, she skips all of that. She plants her foot down and yank it using her upper body strength and the clothe rack went flying. In additional information, the rack is made out of steel.

The rack punctured into wall and broke the mirror, lightbulbs the bits of pieces showering everywhere and got on all over the floor. He ducks down under table, later he got out from it after things have been cleared. His hand accidentally scraps the floor, cutting his palm badly and blood dripping out of it. His reaction was immune to the pain. He rushes to check on Roxanne condition "Roxanne? Are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?" She nodded and a moment later, the look of horror when she notices a blood trickling down from his fingers "Forget about me, take care of yourself first" she quickly tore a piece of her clothes and wrap it around his palm to delay the bleeding.

Due to her arrogance and incompetence, her action has cause others to be hurt. In spite all of this, the boy bears no hatred nor anger toward her but attend to her health, physically and mentally. Nevertheless, she had her reason pushing him away and the boy understood why. "This is nothing, I'm more concern about you" he dusts off the debris from her hair.

Eventually, other girls return to the room but they find the situation to be unpleasant. "Did someone let a bloody hurricane in?" The scene looks quite terrible. Chairs flip over, table smash inward, their dresses been torn apart and a steel rack penetrated into the wall where the mirror use to be but now scattered everywhere. They make their way to them by stepping lightly on the broken pieces of mirror on the floor. "Roxanne did you threw a fit?" jokingly said Montina. Fredina gave her the stink eye "Roxanne explains yourself" the wolf is now perturbed by the bear glare, Gregory layout what had happen instead. Gregory brought them to the other side of the room and gave them an advice "This is just a slight mistake. Roxanne had enough bad day, yelling at her bring no solution but hate towards one another." They understood even some of them feels its unacceptable to let it slide.

Suddenly, an old man barge into the room with the look of concerned. He had a full head of white hair, his eyes have the years ran dry from him, enhancing his vision with his neatly circular spectacle, he had a spectacular suit on and not to mention his right hand is holding an ornated cane as a support for walking. "Hey uhm, guys who is that" jotting his elbow at Chica "That's Freddy Entrekin the owner of the Freddy's Pizzeria and so does the previous establishment" so this man is the owner, he looks rather dashing for a man of his age.

"What happened? I was walking outside of the room and heard somewhat of an elephant to be rampaging in the room." On the contrary, it is as he said to be. Well metaphorically. The old man looks down to the floor, notice a piece of clothing have been torn away from the body of the dress and he pick it up. "Who is responsible for this" his voice sounded similar to a sand paper scrapping against a rough surface. By now Roxanne, her whole body shakes in fear to say anything but she has to admit this whole disastrous situation was her doing.

She walks to him fill with guilt "It was m" before she could finish her words, the boy stops her raising his voice to drown hers "It was me sir, I did this due to my clumsiness." The wolf was astonished, not just her so was the others. She was puzzle why would he do such a thing; he gains nothing from this. The boy caught the wolf attention with a wink.

"My, what an honest young man" Mr. Freddy look at the girls face to sense any lies of the situation but none have shown any reaction except for the wolf she nearly breaks when he looks at her. "What's your name young man?" lowering himself to meet his eye. "Gregory sir"

"Gregory come along with me to my office, I would like us to have a little chat and the rest of you lot clean this place up. If you have difficulty doing so, require the help from other staff to provide you a hand in this matter." They nodded. The girls didn't wish the man of the house to meet the boy in these circumstances. They thought it would be in a pleasant talk over a cup of tea.

"Hurry along boy, chop-chop" He does so and Gregory dares not leave the man sight, for who knows what this man is capable of doing. The sound of his cane hitting against the floor echoes through the empty hallway. Few minutes later, they reach Mr. Freddy's office and he was at awe. The old man office, had a decorated chandelier lit nicely to bring everything in the room to life. He had a large book shelf fill with multiple genres of novel and research book. A large wooden table carve beautifully place between him and the man. Two expensive office chair and a coat rack. "Have a seat. Let's get to the point, now Gregory how old are you? Who did you come here with? Why were you in the dressing room? And what happen in there?" the man hangs his jacket on the coat rack.

Gregory sat on the luxurious comfy chair and ponder what to say to this man. Later, he concluded to tell him the complete truth, there's no use in hiding it from the man because he will find out sooner or later. "I am 12 years old. I'm an orphan. Both of my parents passed away, I have no siblings and my relative want nothing to do with me. I live on the street ever since I ran away from the orphanage and I got in on my own accord. I got to the dressing by their invitation, letting me watch them perform from the backstage."

"Really? You're certainly... forthright about your past. But it's none of my concern who you are in past. Especially now. What I want to know is what exactly happened in the dressing room." The man leans back against his chair and spun around with his back facing the boy.

"-breaths out- Roxanne was trying to get her dress of the rack and dress was snag by something. She pulls it then one thing let to another. However, Mr. Freddy I insist to take the punishment on her behalf because she had gone through enough for the day." With this decision hoping to lighten the wolf day.

"Yes, I heard what happen it is unpleasant to say the least. I will look over this matter. Now Gregory did I misheard or did you say you been living on the street. Is this true?" the man is concern for the boy living style or where he'll be heading after this.

"Yes sir, I did" his ashamed to mention it to the person who have such a deluxe lifestyle. "Now young man… I don't know what brought me to make this decision. I have a spare room unfurnished. I was planning to turn it into a private room but after listening to your predicament. I have concluded to give it to you" the boy was incredibly please and he thought this man feature doesn't match his personality similar to a term never judge a book by its cover. The old man lifts up a finger "Under one condition, you must uphold it. I do not want to receive any news regarding you committing mischief in my place. Understood." For the boy, it's a simple rule to obey "Yes, sir."

"Good, now run along I will notify you in time when the room have been properly furnished. One more thing" the man pulls out 4 notes of 500 pound. "This is for you, spend it wisely" such a large amount to be given to a boy of his age. A spoil brat would be greedy enough to ask for more but unlike him its more than enough and he was grateful nonetheless with a pinch of nervous to be holding this much cash. "Thank you, if you don't mind sir. Here." he returns to the man a thousand pound. "Why have you given me a 1000 pound? What mind game are you playing here boy?"

"Nothing of sort sir. Well, that portion is for the damage I like to compensate. Hopefully the amount is sufficed" the man was taken back by his generosity "I'm speechless to say the least, you're like a needle in a haystack. You're the first of the first has done such a thing. Your action has assured me not to regret my decision." Gregory though so much this man had given to him, all he can do is exchange it with a hug. "I truly appreciate this and I must say any son or daughter is truly lucky to have you as a father." The old man blank face changed, his lips beginning to curve into a smile.

Then he burst into a hearty laugh "Haha, enough sugarcoating boy. I'm sure others are awaiting to see you again… Go-go." Gregory bows and leave the room quickly as possible to give the girls great news.

Meanwhile, the girls had already return to each of their room. Montina sleeping soundly after the tiresome cleaning, Chica seems to be wrapping something, Fredina in the shower and lastly, Roxanne contemplating on certain things. Among her friends, she's the one with most impenetrable personality. The combination of innate secretiveness, the emptiness of her personal relation and hatred. Roxanne had never met anyone quite like Gregory for this boy manages to jump over all of those in just one action and she was inexplicably move. "I feel like a giant knob, the kid doesn't deserve that. I should apologize to the boy when I had the chance. Ohh… I can't even bare to face the boy after all of that. What should I do? Should I give him a present? No-no that is not enough. Should I ask for an advice from others? Just thinking about him, making me feel embarrass." this continues on throughout the day.
