"NO! I WON'T DO IT MOTHER! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!"

It was a pretty normal day for the apartment building of Room 201, laughter could be heard from the living room as the sun was just setting and turning into night, it wasn't until silence took over from the main door being opened and then an argument began in the bedroom.

"I'm sorry Alice, but it has to be done, you can't keep them anymo-" The mother was trying to tell her daughter something important, but she wouldn't listen and interrupted her making her rub her temples as her patients was wearing thin. She was in her mid 30s at least, but since her divorce she's led down the road to drugs. She was brought back to the world by her daughter stomping her foot.

"No, it doesn't have to be done! You just want me to get rid of them so it'll be less of your convince and time. I won't get rid of them I'm keeping them." Alice was furious with her mom, it wasn't the first time per say, heck it probably has been maybe the thousandths time her mother has said this. She didn't care; she'd put up a fight and argue with her till she won again. She wasn't going to be left alone again, never again. "Besides, you work till late and don't even get home till who knows when. You're too busy with "other" things in life, instead of taking care of your own daughter." This part is true; her mother had become addicted to drugs and Alice by far dislikes it.

Her mother was getting impatient and fast, she heavily dislikes getting into arguments with Alice, but since her addiction she couldn't help, but do so. Feeling as she was going to explode at the eight-year-old she stood up and walked to Alice's door resting her hand on the doorknob. But before leaving she didn't turn to face Alice, but her voice was slightly angered. "You better get rid of them by tomorrow night. If they aren't out of this apartment by then you'll be kicked out of here." And with that said she left the room.

Alice continued to sit on her bed rethinking what her mom had said. She really wouldn't kick her out of the house, that'd be neglecting and if it did happen she could somehow call up her sister, Lily. Her thoughts were disturbed by weight on both her shoulders, turning she saw her two imaginary friends her mother wanted to be out, Rain U. Lu and Lu U. Lu, or also known as Rulu and Lulu. Her two best friends since she was three; during the chaotic mess of the divorce, she would never get rid of them. Feeling the weight of their small heads on her shoulder she petted both of their heads.

"Alice, don't worry so much. You know we'll never leave you with her." The one on her left speaking up to break the utter silence. Rulu, was an all black dragon with quite an attitude, but when called for he can be sentimental just only when it comes to his creator. He got a hit on the head by the other one on her right side.

"Rulu, be serious now, if we both don't find somewhere else to live poor Alice here will be living on the streets!" Lulu, an all white dragon spoke up while semi glaring at him as he was rubbing his head. She was quite different from Rulu, she was more sociable and deeply cared about Alice at all times.

"Ow…" He was rubbing his head with his tail semi glaring back at Lulu. "I know that, but where are we going to find a place to stay at by tomorrow." But not before taking a quick look at his creators face to see her expression sadden did he turn his full attention to the white dragon to reply.

Lulus left eye slightly twitched as she crawled from her creators shoulder and walked on the bed making her way towards her twin. Yanking on his tail making a yelp in surprise falling onto the comforters did she start beating on him while speaking. "You don't think I don't know that?! I'm trying to think."

Alice was still thinking on her mother's words, would her mother really do that? Well…she would take her own daughter's money to go buy more drugs. Letting out a sigh she got off the bed to go change into her pajama's since it was 9 o'clock at night and she did have school. As she came back the two dragons were done as Lulu was laying on the bed in thought and Rulu on the other side of her glaring at his twin as his tail was trashing on the bed. Alice walked over and got settled into the bed turning out the lights, but not before hearing her two best friends say the same thing. "Good night Alice."

As it was close to mid night the two dragons were thinking on some way to find another place to live. Rulu couldn't take it anymore and turned on the TV flipping through the channels. Lulu was right by his side watching the channels wiz by, but not before one caught her attention. "Imaginary friends…" Blinking a few times Lulu put her claw on her "brother's" for him to stop, as he gave her a confused look she spoke. "Wait, go back a few channels." Wondering why, he didn't bother to ask questions and just listened to her going back through them and she shouted. "WAIT, STOP!" Freaking out from her loud outburst fell to the side from her loud voice right in his ear.

Coming to his senses he saw why she said it. Putting his attention on the TV station he listened to the girl narrated and watched with curiosity as well with his sister. "Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends is a wonderful, funderful imagination habitation. We provide food, shelter and a warm heart for imaginary friends looking for a place to call *home*. So if you know of or have an imaginary friend that desperately needs a home, then come on down to Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, where good ideas are not forgotten." Rulu turned off the TV as him and his sister were quiet, but then turned to each other before smiling.
