Disclaimer: I own Shane, David, Marie, and the plot. Sorry I couldn't update sooner. Ps Shane is 9 and 3/4 I wanted him to be young and have a troubled past but then I thought skip it! I was cursing at ten and giving signs at 10!

Meanwhile, Shane was at his Aunt's house. She had 3 kids and they both knew that she couldn't care for him and it was alright because he didn't like her that much anyway. He really wanted to stay wuth Kuki and Wally. He could just tell he belonged there. He just knew it.

"Oh my god! Shanie! How ya' been, buddy?" his aunt asked.

"Fine, considering my dad's dead and my mom's gonna die in week. I'm getting new parents so it doesn't matter though."

"I'm sensing attitude and that's a terrible thing to say about ya' mom!"

"The doctor told me before I left and I'm sensing alcohol with your addict boyfriend. So are you gonna let me in or not?" His aunt moved out of the way. Sure enough he saw her alcohol addicted boyfriend.

"I think you should apologize to Tony."

"I don't. I think he should take care of his kids or pay child support." Tony looked up.

"Fuck you! I take care of my kids just fine and I can put down the bottle when I want. If you were my kid-"

"I'd run away. You are a giant loser and my aunt stay with you because she can't do any better. Do you realize when Joan left that you have no family besides her?" Joan was his cousin who had passed the year before. She was the only thing Tony liked.

"I'm not gonna punish ya' 'cause you just lost your dad, so get away from me 'fore you get to see ya' him." Shane scowled. How dare this bastard talk about his dad?

"At least I knew mine." Shane walked off giving him the finger. He walked upstairs and went to sleep. He woke up feeling horrible. He had smelled smoke all of last night. He was so frustrated but got ready in silence. Soon after someone rang the bell. He opened the door and smiled.

"Good morning, Wally and Cookie!"

"Hey Shane. How ya' been?" Wally asked.

"Fine considering my dad's dead and my mom's gonna die real soon but you guys make up for it though."

"What?" Kuki asked.

"My mom's got a week and a half at the most. I'm real happy you'll be adopting me though!"

"Really?"

"Honestly."

"Okay then, is your aunt here?"

"She and her boyfriend are sleeping off a hangover. I'll wake them up if youu wanna talk to 'em."

"Please." Kuki said as Shane left. She could here the boy yelling at an older man. It sounded like the boy was yelling about his father and the man kept saying screw you. My goodness! Shane is definetly getting some counseling when we get home, Kuki thought. The man came downstairs. He was tall and pale. He smelled like ciggerrettes (sp?)

"Who are ya' and what do ya' want?" Tony asked.

"I'm Kuki Beetles and this is my husband. We're taking Shane for today if that's alright."

"It's perfect. You can have him."

"I hate you, too." Shane said smiling.

"Come on, Shane!" Kuki yelled while running back.
