It was Smackle's birthday, so Farkle and the gang decided to surprise Smackle. They headed over to her place and knocked on the door, a woman in her mid 40's answered.
"Well hello, what can I do for you?" The woman asked them, never having seen them before in her life. "Are you looking for Ellie?"
"Ellie, who's Ellie?" Farkle asked "We were just looking for Isadora?"
The woman, Ellie's mom, proceeded to give them Smackle's address, which happened to not be in NYC. After the gang shared a heated discussion on what could be going on, their cab arrived at the town where Smackle lived. Farkle handed the driver his card, and the driver looked at it incredulously.
"You're a minkus?" He asked when he handed the card back
Farkle rolled his eyes, and walked away. The gang looked around the small town that only had one room shacks. They then saw a little black haired boy running around with a soccer ball, and a black haired girl about their age running after him. The girl was wearing a tattered orange dress, and one of her shoes was missing. Farkle was suspicious that it was Smackle, until he heard he shout at the little boy "Give that back! Dad gave it to me!" Farkle turned away and started walking to catch the cab.
"Farkle! Where are you going?" Riley asked, noticing how Smackle looked at them with a look of fear and sadness when she saw them
"To do something." He replied, getting back in the cab.
"Mom? Dad?" Farkle asked, when he walked in the door of his house "Come here."
They both came rushing in and he had them sit down at the counter.
"Ok, I have a question, and before you say no, just listen to me. Smackle's family is poor, like really poor. I just saw where they live, it's a one room shack outside of town. She has a single mom, and a six year old brother who won't be much trouble. So, basically what I'm asking is if their family can move in with us?"
