Ok don't worry we'll be getting back to the Main Group but for a little while... let's see what they're up to at the shack

Ariel's POV

Huh well they sure were in a hurry guess they're still looking for those shards

Just then Andrew came up to me "Who was that?" He asked me Scratching his head

I replied to him "Oh it was the kids they were in a hurry to get back out there as well just needed to get something"

And then there was a knock on the door

"Who could that be?" I ask my husband as I begin to walk up to the door

As I answer the door I see Local Kook Old Man McGucket

"Howdy friends!" He says waving at us

Right then Stan walks into the room just in time to see him

And he then screams Holding his head "NOOO! GOSH! GOSH NO! OH GOSH PLEASE NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"What's wrong Stan?" I ask him

He then walks up to the door and shuts it immediately

"STAN! THAT WAS RUDE!" I tell him

"THAT GUY IS NOT WELCOME IN THIS HOUSE HE'S A MENACE!" He screams in my ear

"Do you know this guy?" I ask him

"To be honest no I don't he just showed up in town one day not sure where he came from

But one thing I know about this guy is HE MESSES UP EVERYTHING" He explains to me

"Stan you know that can't be true" I tell him

"He's the second most annoying person that ever lived" He replies

"Who's the first?" I ask

He simply lifts and glares

I reply "Oh right Soos..."

I cross my arms and tell him "I don't care how annoying this man may be it is rude not to at least speak to him"

He then puts his face up against an open window making a large screeching noise hurting my ears

"Don't" Stan simply says Closing the Blinds

I then walk up to the window and open it and the Blinds

"Hello Old Man McGucket What brings you here?" I ask him

He looks at me with his eyes walled "Well y'see I've been living at the Dump a long time y'see-"

I interrupt him "YOU LIVE AT THE DUMP?! No wonder you're such a mess!"

He continues "Yes well someone told me that the people here were very welcoming

"No we're not" Stan says

"Hush... Now um who told you that?" I ask him

"Just a little birdy" He says sticking his tongue out licking his beard

He then pulls a band-aid off his beard with his tongue

"Now how long has that been there?" He says before eating it

"Well you're welcome to stay at the shack until you get somewhere to stay" I tell him

"Ariel do remember you're mooching off of me yourself" Stan says

"Oh come on now Stan are you telling me you've never been annoying yourself?" I ask him

He looks at me with his hand on the back of his head "Sigh... alright alright you're right"

Andrew looks at McGucket with an odd face "Have we... met before?" He asks him

"Nope we haven't Haven't at all nope never" He says

"So any idea where I can sleep?" He asks us

"Oh uuhh.. Well We took Soos's Break Room To sleep in... And he stays in his old one..."

I explain to him

"That's fine i'll just sleep on the couch" He tells us before walking away backwards

"Ariel let me ask you something... Do you think i'm made of money?" He asks me

I pull a Dollar out of his sleeve "Mayyybe"

"Well i'm not!" He says grabbing the dollar back

"It hasn't been easy paying for everyone's food around here so unless one of you get's a job this Kook can't stay here"

He says to me

"That's no problem he eats out of the garbage... at least I assume... since he was living at the dump... huh how did he eat"

I state getting a little confused
