Two weeks later
Seymour had to wait a while for the necessary papers to go through that would allow him to live with Mr. Mushnik, but the wait was worth it. As he stood in his room packing a small suitcase, he thought about all the wonderful times he would have living in his new home. Jerry stood off to the side, watching his friend get ready to leave.
"Hey, I'm sure gonna miss you." Jerry said while playing with his blanket.
"Oh really? What exactly will you miss about me once I'm gone?" Seymour asked him.
"You know, the times where we would complain about this place, the times where we would talk about our new homes, and our nighttime chats before bed. The usual stuff, ya know what I mean?" Jerry asked.
"Oh yeah, right. I'll miss those times too." Seymour said, closing his suitcase and locking it up. A part of him felt sad about leaving the Skid Row Home for Boys, it had been his only home for the past 5 years of his life. Plus he had Alan and Jerry as his best friends here, and he always enjoyed their times where they would complain about life here. He was certainly happy to be leaving this group home, but he also felt sad about leaving behind his friends here. They had been like some sort of makeshift family to him. As he sat on the bed, thinking about how he was feeling, his thoughts were soon interrupted by Mr. Mushnik arriving at the doorway of the bedroom.
"Hey Krelbourn, I'm ready to go. What about you?" he asked, sounding impatient.
Seymour looked at Jerry, then back at Mr. Mushnik. With a sad sigh, he said "Yes, sir. I'm ready to go home."
"Then come on, kid. My car's waiting outside." Mr. Mushnik said.
Seymour slowly made his way out of the bedroom, glancing back at Jerry. Jerry followed them to the front door of the group home and peered through the window with the other boys as Seymour and Mr. Mushink walked outside and got into Mr. Mushnik's black car. As soon as they heard the car start up, all the boys waved bye to Seymour, feeling jealous that he was leaving and they weren't.
Seymour, meanwhile, looked out the car window as it pulled away and waved as he shouted "Bye everyone. I'll miss you."
"Hey Seymour, that's your old life now. Your new life is with me and my flower shop." Mushnik said.
"Oh yeah, I can't wait to see it." Seymour said excitedly.
"I'll give you a tour of the place when we arrive, how's that sound?" Mushnik asked him.
"Sounds great, sir." Seymour said. He couldn't wait to see what his new home would look like and wondered if he would like living in a flower shop.
