Hey guys!
It's been a while since I made a story but here's a new one for ya. This time with The Bad Guys!
It's the first bad guys RP my friend, Park Ryder, and I ever did and it features her OC, Rena. It's also a commission for her.
This is also my first Bad Guys story so go easy on me in the comments.
Enjoy!
I don't own The Bad Guys or the characters.
I don't own Rena. She belongs to Park Ryder.
One year after they served their prison sentence, The now reformed Bad Guys are in Wolf's new car and governor, Diane Foxington, is taking them someplace special.
"Okay, are you guys ready to meet your new hideout?" She asked everyone.
Wolf held his cat and smirked, "We're ready."
"Ooh I hope we got some push pops!"
Shark squealed in excitement.
"Hope you got us some new tech equipment." said Webbs.
"And burritos!" Piranha added.
Snake said, "And maybe a room for some peace and quiet."
She drive them to a location a few blocks away from her house; on the outside, it looks like an ordinary house big enough for about six people. As soon as they approach the front door, Diane opened it and shown them their new place; it was similar to their old home but it was more bigger and advanced, also including a staircase.
Everyone's jaw dropped seeing their new home.
"Like it?"
"It's amazing!" Webbs jumped up, "I'm gonna like it here."
"This is so awesome!" Piranha went to the living room and stared at the flat screen television, "Look at the size of this tv!"
"And check out the kitchen!"
Shark called out as he and Snake went to look at the kitchen.
Snake opened the fridge with his tail and saw the freezer was full of push pops. His eyes grew wide and his tongue slurped out.
"I died and went to heaven!" he smiled, "Well it kind of surprising since I was pretty sure I was going to the underworld when I die."
Shark crossed his arms and said, "You'd better share those!"
"Over my dead body!"
Like other times, the two rumble as Wolf and the others laughed. After a minute, He turned to Diane with a grateful smile.
"We really appreciate this, Diane. Must've took a lot of work and money in order to do this."
"Hey since you all need a clean slate, I might as well give you guys something good." Diane patted his shoulder, "And I have made sure there's lots and lots of rooms."
"Good good. But just asking, can't we have souviers like jewels?"
Diane gave him a look saying "don't start even think about it."
Wolf laughed and waved his hand, " I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Though seriously, it'd be good for each of us to get separate rooms. To tell you the truth, It's not always easy being roommates."
"Especially with one who passes gas all the time." Snake vaguely mentioned.
"I heard that!" The small fish yelled from the living room.
"Hey, you do it in your sleep!" Webbs added.
"Hey, I resent that, chica!"
"Anyway," the fox eased the tension, "let's get you guys settled in."
"I have to admit, it's a lot better than what we had." The reptile commented.
"Yeah and less messy." added Webbs.
"So now that we are not bad guys anymore, do we at least get like, what, some days off? After we do our "good guys" work?
"Days off? Every day is a day off when we have fun." Shark said as he ate a push pop, "But you are right. We should go and do something crazy but as good guys."
"Like What?"
"Maybe a movie?" He shrugged.
"Ooh! Ooh!" Piranha raised his hand like a kid at school, "A fight club!"
"A costume party?" Webb's asked,
"Guiana pig labs!" Snake said excitedly.
They all stared at him in shock.
"What?"
"Maybe I should just take a walk for right now." Wolf headed for the door, "You guys in?"
"I'm in." Diane nodded, "It will be nice to get some fresh air. Anyone else coming?"
"Sure, after I settle into my room." Snake started to slither upstairs.
"Hey when did you decide to call dibs first?!" The fish man yelled.
"Cause I'm older than all of you! So there!" He stuck out his forked tongue.
Suddenly, he felt himself being pulled away and was held upside down while Shark was in his face.
"Well I'm the biggest!"
"You're the dumbest!"
"I'm the smartest!" Webb's said.
Piranha stood proudly at the top and said, "And I'm the bestest!"
"In you're dreams!" The spider rolled her eyes, "I should get the best room cause I'm the smartest out of all of you!"
Just like at Snakes birthday, they all began to rumble while Diane and Wolf shared awkward glances.
"Uhhh, lets get out of here." Wolf suggested as he walked out.
"Good idea." She follows behind him.
They go take a walk around town before they decided to stop at a cafe. Everyone greeted them warmly since Wolf was no longer a bad person and wanted to do good.
"It's really nice, isn't it?" Diane spoke first.
"Yes it is. Glad to get out of the house for a bit. Even though we just moved in."
"That's true." She giggled, " Hey, after we get done, there is something I wanted to show you."
"What is it?"
"Follow me."
Diane walks out with Wolf beside her and they saw a school that's been around for at least over twenty years.
"A school?"
"It was my old middle school from when I was 12 up to my first year of high school."
"No kidding! How was it there?"
"It wasn't that bad actually. Aside from a few bumps in the road, I managed just fine."
Wolf hesitated to ask his next question, "Did you uh…Get picked on?"
"A couple times but I got over it and I did get my revenge. Let's just say a certain fox frame them for pranks."
"Oooh nice." He nodded in approval, "You know how to take care of yourself even as a pre-teen."
Diane shrugged and smiled, "Hey, I couldn't let bullies walk all over me, you know?"
"I feel ya." Wolf sat on a nearby bench, "I used to tell the kids I'd eat them if they didn't stop picking on me."
"Did you actually do it?"
"Only once….it was delicious." He laughed when Diane look shocked. "Just kidding."
Diane shook her head with a smirk until she looked up and pointed at something to Wolf.
"Hey, look at that kid."
They saw at the playground that there's a young girl, no older than 13, wearing a navy blue beanie hat and has brown hair; she was also wearing a yellow and black shirt, a brown trench coat, jeans and converse shoes. She was fixing a costume and even had some musical instruments out for some reason.
"What is she doing?" Wolf asked.
"Not sure but it's pretty nice. It's good for a child to have a hobby, that doesn't really involving stealing that is."
Then all of a sudden, the girl got hit by a tomato! She fell to the ground and wiped the substance off her face.
"I can see that Monster girl is doing something dorky!"
The girl turned and saw the posse: The leader was named Rita and her sidekicks are Mindy, Liam, and Edwin. They towered over the girl with menacing smirks on their faces.
"Think shes a witch?" Mindy taunted, "Careful, she might cast a spell on you."
"She's so creepy!" said Liam.
"Yeah, why do you think she's called Monster Girl?" Edwin added.
The girl stood up and glared at them while brushing herself off.
"My name is Rena! Why can't you guys just leave me alone?!"
"What kind of thing you're working on?"
Rita looked at her with disgust, "Some weird voodoo spell?"
"No." She shook her head, "I wanna be in the school play so I made my costume. See?"
She held up her costume and they saw how the dress was handmade but it had different patches and stuff on it.
"Hah! Looks like a pile of dirty rags!"
Rena shrugged and said, "Well….it's not done yet I mean I still gotta make some improvements."
"Yeah you can't be in the play." The leader said.
"Why not?"
"Well say, I'm you." Rita approached her, "And I'm wearing that trashy dress and then I suddenly, feel that crazy urge!"
Suddenly, she rips a piece of the dress off.
"Hey!"
"See? You can't be normal cause you're a freak waiting for destruction." She threw the piece at Rena's face.
"Oh no! I feel that urge too!" Mindy mocked as she rips another piece.
"Stop that!" Rena yelled, "I worked hard on it!"
But they didn't listen and kept on ripping her costume apart. Rena didn't want to fight back but she didn't what anyone to ruin her hard work.
"Please, I just wanna be part of something!
Rena pulled Rita away.
"You'll never be part of anything! You're a monster and that's all you'll ever be!"
She pushes Rena into the mud as the others laughed and throw bits of her dress at her.
They began to chant "Monster Girl!" Monster Girl! Monster Girl!" over and over again as she lay there with tears in her eyes; having had enough, Wolf decided to take action and help the girl.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" Wolf yelled.
The bullies looked up and saw that Wolf began to roar and chased them. It scared them into running away until they were off the playground.
"Yeah you'd better run, you rotten brats!" He threatened as they ran.
Diane ran to Rena and helped her up while checking for injuries.
"You okay sweetie?" She asked softly.
"Mmmm…" the girl rubbed her head, "Yeah..."
"Well at least those jerks are gone." Wolf approached as Rena had tears in her eyes and looked away, "Hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah…"
Wolf could tell that she was lying and saw some more tears coming out.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Come on Wolf, let's just take her back to the house and get her cleaned up."
They approach her slowly but she tensed up and backs away.
"Leave me alone!" She said bitterly.
May 5
"Easy sweetie, we just wanna help."
"Yeah, I mean you look like you could use a friend. Someone to help you." Wolf nodded in agreement.
"Friend? But I don't know you."
"I know but you could use someone to talk to. Just trust us, we won't hurt you."
Rena wasn't sure if she could trust the tow strangers at first but also knew that they were right. She needed someone to help her out.
"….Alright." Rena answered while sighing.
"Thats better. What's your name, sweetie?" asked Diane.
"Rena. Rena Zellinger.
"Nice to meet you." She shook her hand, "I am Diane Foxington."
"And they call me Mr. Wolf." He said after.
"Nice to meet you guys. Especially you, madame governor." She gave a soft smile.
"Why thank you."
"So Uh...what are you doing out here?" Wolf asked.
"I just wanted to make costumes so I can try out for my school play and those guys ruined it..." Rena looks at her tattered dress.
"Aww, I'm really sorry about that." Diane frowned sadly.
"I'm use to it…" she shrugged sadly, "It's been like that for years. You get use to it after a while."
"That's not right though." Diane said seriously, "You don't deserved to be bullied so much. They shouldn't be doing that."
Rena only shrugged and was silent as Wolf and Diane took them back to the house where the others were watching TV.
"Hey Wolf! How was-"
Snake stopped when he and everyone else saw Rena all sad and muddy.
"Who the kid?" asked Shark as he looked over at the girl, "Aww she looks adorable! Is she a hobo? Do we allow hobos here?"
"I beat up a hobo once. Tried to steal a dollar from me so I went all loco on his butt." Piranha said.
"Guys chill, she's just a kid." Wolf held his hands up, "This is Rena Zellinger. Rena, these are my friends, Snake, Webbs, Piranha, and Shark."
Rena looked away and quietly said, "Um, hi guys."
"Nice to meet you." Webbs smiled.
Piranha jumped and said, "Hola Chica!"
"Hi/hello!" Snake and Shark both greeted.
Rena doesn't say anything and backed up as Wolf kept a firm hand on her back.
"Uh, she's kinda shy."
"Why don't you go upstairs and get cleaned up, okay?" Diane said as she led the girl to the stairway, "The bathroom is the third door to your right."
Rena nodded and walk to the bathroom. Once there, she closed the door and started to wipe off the mud and clean any cuts he may have received.
"I wonder if I should trust these guys." She said to herself, "I mean I know the were bad guys once and yet…Wolf helped me. He stood up for me when no one else would. I should give them a chance. I just hope I'm making the right decision."
Downstairs, Diane was talking to the group on what to do.
"You know this could be a good guy mission for you."
"What? Babysitting a kid?" Snake remarked.
"No. helping her out."
"But she's a human." Webb's pointed out, "I didn't think humans suffered like us animals can."
"So, what if she's human." Wolf said firmly, "She seems nice. I know humans have judged us in the past but that's behind us now. There are some who do appreciate us and feel like we do."
Snake nodded and said, "He does have a point. I guess we can give it a shot."
Then Rena comes down and she looked better than before; the mud was cleaned off and she didn't look as bad than from what her bullies did.
"So umm…Thanks again." She pulled her bangs from her eyes.
"No problem." Wolf smiled, "How do you feel?"
"A little better, and I appreciate the help."
"Now, if you don't mind me asking, sweetie, what were you doing before we found you?" asked Diane.
"Well I wanna be in this play at school but I'm not very good…"
"What do you mean?"
"Because the costume I made wasn't that good and looked lousy..." she rubbed her arm uncomfortably, "And I get scared…."
"Why? Is it cause of stage fright? Anxiety?" asked Snake.
"I don't know." She shrugged, "I guess I'm just scared of people in general. Maybe I shouldn't be in the play. Rita is right I don't belong…."
Wolf placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, "Hey, don't say that, of course you belong. You just gotta…Uhh…Up your game! Proof to them that Rena Zellwinner can do anything!"
"It's Zellinger. But what's the point? I don't even have costumes or anything."
"Leave that to me! I'm an expert" Shark pointed to himself, "I'll fix you up, girl!"
Rena rubbed the back of her head, "Oh. Umm thanks, I guess."
"Trust me, you won't regret it." He went to grab his supplies from upstairs.
"So, what this play about?" asked Wolf.
"A princess who rebelled against her kingdom after finding out how corrupted it is." She explained.
"Hey that sounds pretty cool!" Webb's perked up.
"Yeah! It was based on the books I used to read as a kid."
"Oh? You're a reader?"
"Yeah! I love to read! Like all the time."
"Any favorite books?" asked Wolf.
"Well, there's the Princess book I told you about. It called Alana the Warrior Princess. I love to read comic books, manga and graphic novels. My favorite plots are people who are different want to change themselves and other things."
"Oh that is so cool!"
Shark came down and said, "I love manga stories! I mean That last Alana book was so intense!"
"It was!" Rena said excitedly, "I mean she looks so awesome, I sometimes draw her in some clothing I can imagine her in."
"You can draw?" asked Snaked in curiosity.
"Yeah! Check it out."
Rena took out her book bag and show them the drawings she had done over the years.
"Whoa! That is so amazing!" Piranha commented as she went through the pages.
Wolf looked and even saw a drawing of all of them together.
"You drew us?"
Rena rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment, "Uhh yeah. I was actually drew you guys a lot…"
"Impressive but how? We never even met you until today."
"Have you ever heard of the news and newspaper?" She said as she puts her hands in her pockets, "I really admire you guys for your talents and in a way, you're are standing up for yourselves against bullies. And I admire you even more now that you're turning into good guys."
"Hey, look at that we got a number one fan here." Wolf chuckled.
Rena chuckles as well, "I guess you can say that. And hopefully, someday, I can get my revenge."
"Ooh, revenge is my middle name!" Piranha said as he jumped up and down.
"I thought it was Benito I'm down for it!" Shark smirked as his friend glared.
"Good! My revenge plan is to be in the play and get the lead role."
"Oooh! That is good revenge." Webb's nodded, "Make them so jealous they'll barf."
"But the problem is I don't have a costume or even the script."
"Leave the costume to me." Shark cracked his knuckles, "You're talking to an expert costume maker here."
"I can help with the script." Wolf offered.
"Since when do you write scripts?"
"Shouldn't be too hard. I mean have you met me? I can make a monkey be suave."
"Why a monkey?"
"Because they are kind of funny."
"So you really think this could work?" Rena asked.
Diane placed a hand on her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, hon. We promise to help you."
Piranha stood proud and said, "Cause we are the Bad Guys-"
"Gone good! And we're the best!" Shark finished as he hugged his buddy.
"Thanks guys. I'm so glad you're helping me." Rena smiled.
They began to help her with the costumes and learning the script one line at a time. A few days later, she tried on the costume but she was covering her head with her hat and has her hands behind her back
"How I look?" She asked hopefully.
"Very nice!" Shark approved, "But you should lose the hat and other stuff."
She looked away and rubbed her arms, "Ohh umm…I need them…"
"Why?"
"I just do, okay?" Rena defended softly.
"Well, I think you look beautiful." Diane commented.
Rena was so happy she held her back and walk back a little. But she started to feel the anxiety overtake her and began to walk up the stairs.
"Excuse me for a second! I'll be right back!"
She ran to the bathroom and took some deep breaths to calm herself.
"Get it together, Rena. Don't let it get to you You're a normal girl…You're a normal girl!"
Then after she wakes out of the bathroom, Rena began to overhear the gang talking from downstairs.
"Huh?"
She began to listen from the top of the stairs and out of sight.
"So after this we get some points or something?" asked Snake.
"Points for what?"' Wolf said
"For doing something good. I mean we're helping a depressed kid with a play. That should count, right?"
"Yeah and it's not really action pack." Webb's added.
"Yeah!, "Piranha agree, "I wanted to do something way more cool, too!"
"Hey come on guys, give her a chance." Wolf tried to reason with them, "I mean this is our first good deed and we need to do this right."
"Yeah but it's kinda a weak good deed." Snake said bluntly.
Everyone except Diane and Wolf started to complain about how this wasn't the good deed they had in mind and wish it was more exciting. Meanwhile, Rena felt sad as well as betrayed; she thought she had finally found friends and this is how they repay her?
"I knew it...they never cared for me at all. Forget this!" Rena declared as she stormed down the stairs, "I should've known all along! I should have gone with my plan! But instead I found out you guys are just using me!"
Rena just ran out the room, shocking everyone. Diane got to the door but was too late to stop her.
"Rena wait!" Diane called out.
Wolf glared at his friends and said, "Now look what you guys did! I gotta go find her!"
Wolf ran out to find her while the others felt guilty over what they said. They spent so much time complaining that they didn't think it would hurt someone's feelings.
"Wolf wait!" Snake called out but it was too late, "Man…we really screwed up, didn't we?"
Piranha nodded sadly, "Yeah...we did, amigo."
Diane shook her head in disappointment and said, "There's more to doing good than just action stuff. It actually involves helping others and changing someone's life, even if it's not as exciting as it may look."
"I guess you're right, Diane." Shark said, "But, how are we gonna find them?"
"Leave that to me! It's tracking time, baby."
Webb's announced as she cracked her knuckles and went to work on her computer.
Meanwhile Wolf was looking for Rena and it's a good thing he has an excellent sense of smell; it didn't take very long to track her location.
"Okay, she's close by." He said to himself.
Wolf kept following the sent until he was at the school; he looked and saw Rena on the roof with some stink bombs and full trash bags in her hands.
"What the? Rena?"
"Just leave me alone!" She snapped.
"What the heck are you doing?"
"What I should of done in the first place. They ruined my dress, so I'll ruin their play."
Wolf grabbed her shoulder to stop her, "You shouldn't do this!"
"Why not? They hurt me!"
"So, you think the best idea is to hurt them back?! You do this, you're no better than them!
Rena looked back at him, "What?"
"Do this, and it makes you a bully like them!"
"No it won't!" She snapped.
May 13
"Yes it will! Trust me! Look at me: I let playing the bad guy role into my head and look what happened to me and my friends! We were played for chumps by a Guiana pig and sent to jail for a year." Wolf told her.
"I know that but…" she felt herself shake, "But…I'm a monster!"
"What?! No you're not." He shook his head, "When I met you, you kind of show me that humans suffer like I did just for being different. You're a good kid and you don't need to be like them."
Rena just looked at Wolf and broke down into tears; she knew what she was doing was wrong but was too blind by revenge to see it clearly.
"I...I'm sorry! I Didn't want it to turn out this way! I…I.. I just wanted it to stop. I didn't want to be bullied anymore...
"I know, kiddo." Wolf then gave Rena a big hug, "Don't cry, Rena. It's gonna be alright."
"He's right, kid."
Wolf looked up and saw Snake and the others approaching them as he held the girl.
"Huh? Guys? What are you doing here?"
"We found you thanks to me." Webb's held up her phone; "We did the find my phone app thing."
Rena turns around and sees them but she didn't feel too happy about it.
"What do you want?" She muttered.
"We just want to see if you were okay and we wanted to apologize." Shark said honestly, "We just thought doing good meant stuff like action butt kicking stuff but It wasn't right to hurt your feelings like that."
Snake nodded with him, "Yeah. It kind of show us that even simple things can make us good guys. I'm sorry we didn't take you seriously."
Rena could tell they were being sincere and gave them a small forgiving smile.
"Thank you guys…"
"You still wanna be in the play?" Diane asked.
"I do. But... " she rubbed her shoulders uncomfortablly, "I don't think I could do it…I'm not sure if I'm ready to show my ears…"
"Ears?" Snaked raised his eyebrow in confusion, "What is the big deal with ears? I don't have them and yet I'm fine. Like why would humans make fun of human ears?"
"Maybe to see who can hear better?" Piranha shrugged.
"No No! You don't understand!" Rena exclaimed and took a deep breath, "Mine are…different than humans…Take a look."
She removes her hat and reveals that she has got fox ears instead of regular human ears. Everyone else was surprised cause they never seen a half human, half animal hybrid before.
"Rena...you're half fox?" Wolf asked in surprise.
Rena nodded and looked down, "Yes…"
She even took off her trench coat to reveal her fox tail.
"My mother is a human and my dad is a fox." Rena began to explain, "In history class, many years ago back then, a human and an animal romance was considered to be taboo. Some people thought it was sick or immoral and even when they got married and have kids, they think the kids are like monsters, freaks, etc because some of them would have the animal features. Rumors would be even spread that animal kids are actually monsters from the underworld or they can do deadly voodoo. Even though it's more accepting now, it still effects some people like me who is labeled as a monster just for looking different."
"Oh man..." Webb's said sadly.
Rena sighed and continued, "Back when I was little, I actually had friends accepting me for who I was. Things was great. But then middle school hit and we all got accepted for different schools so it was hard to keep in touch. But then I got picked up for my ears and tail so I l figured hiding them was the only way it can stop. Boy was I wrong and basically I resorted to hiding this from everyone. But Rita and her stupid gang won't stop picking on me no matter what I do. I didn't know what else to do…."
Everyone looks at her and felt sad for having to struggle so much in her life. Diane was the first to give her a gentle hug.
"Oh sweetie…" she spoke softly, "Why didn't you tell anybody you felt this way?"
"I didn't think anyone would care." Rena said as she hugged back, "My parents are busy and I didn't wanna bother them."
"Well, why not let us help you?" Wolf suggested.
"Cause I was scared what you guys will think of me."
"So? That doesn't mean you're a freak." Snake said truthfully.
"I-It doesn't?"
"Of course not, honey." Diane held her a little tighter, "You have something amazing!"
"I do?"
"Yeah chica!" Piranha spoke up, "Those ears make you look tough!"
"And you're really cool to talk to." Webb's said in agreement.
"Your drawing skills are amazing! Better than what Snake draws." Shark gave a mischievous smirk.
Snake gave him an offended look, "Hey! I'm a great artist!"
Wolf rolled his eyes and placed a hand on the girls shoulder, "The point is, don't sell yourself short, Rena. You're a good person who's better than wanting revenge. Only you can decide who you really wanna be."
Rena thought about it and didn't go through with the prank anymore. She threw the stuff away and dusted her hands off.
"You're right, Wolf." Rena said proudly, "I'm not gonna do it. I don't care what they did to me cause it's not right."
"That a girl." Diane smiled and took her hand, "Come on, you still got time to make that play."
"Right but...will you help me?" She asked hesitantly.
"Of course we will." Wolf nodded, "We're in. Right guys?"
"Yeah!
Then they all went to the school and then Rena came in through the auditorium doors where everyone was getting ready.
"I'm here! I'm here! I'm ready to do this!" She ran up the stage.
"Ready?" asked Wolf.
"Ready as I'll ever be!" The girl did a fist pump.
"That a girl." He gave a smile, "Break a leg!"
Rena went onstage and she headed in lot the play; she even took off her hat and coat revealing her fox ears. However, instead of booing her, she did so good in the play, everybody cheered and the gang was all proud of her.
The next day they drove her to school and Rena has a newfound confidence in herself.
"You sure you got this girl? asked Piranha, "Ya want me to go loco on those bullies for ya?"
"No thanks." She shook her head, "I got this."
"Yeah, she's a tough kid." Wolf nodded, "You can do anything."
"And we'll be right by your side, no matter what." Diane added.
"Thank you."
Rena got out the car and was smiling until Rita and her gang came over to harass her again.
"You shouldn't of be in that play." Rita growled under her breath.
"So?" Rena scoffed at her, "People liked it anyway. If anyone shouldn't be in that play, it's you. Because you're a big fat huge jerk!
"Yeah! You tell her!"
Rena turned around and saw her old friends Melinda, Tyson Jack, and Luna. Rena was shocked and eyes widened as the bullies backed off and went the other way. Rena couldn't hear but Rita was fuming under her breath.
"Guys! You're back! "She ran over to hug them, "I didn't think I'd ever see any of y'all again!"
"Same here but then we got word we got transfer here!" Jack said.
"You did? How?"
"No idea but we are here!" Luna added.
"I did it."
They all turn to Webb's who had a cute little smile on her face.
"You did this?" She asked in a soft voice.
"A little thing called hacking, sweetheart."
"You did that? For me?"
Shark smiled as well, "Ya like it?"
"Are you kidding? I love it!" Rena hugged them all, "You guys are the best!"
Wolf smiles and hugged her back, "Anytime kiddo. Anything for you."
Diane smiled proudly at her friends. For not only did they accomplish their first good deed since they reformed but they also gained a new friend.
The End
