"The cherry blossoms are coming in again." The boy with mouse ears and a mouse tail says as he stares out the window of his house. "Yeah!" Shouts the smaller boy with the same features. "I wonder...how he's doing?" The boy says as he looks up from his kitchen work. "Jerry! The timer's going off!" Shouts the little boy. Jerry turns his attention back to the stove and turns off the timer. He opens the oven to find a slightly burnt lasagna, he sighs and says, "Sorry Nibbles, we can order out if you want." Nibbles shakes his head, "It's fine as long as we add cheese." He smiles and Jerry smiles back. Nibbles has been living with Jerry ever since Nibbles' mom left him with Jerry, she told him that she'd come back but she hasn't yet. Jerry's been alone, his parents both on business trips, well his father more likely and his mom comes home every so often, they're divorced. "Jerry, school starts again tomorrow." Nibbles says. "Yah, and what about it?" Jerry asks picking at his food. "Can I walk alone tomorrow?" Jerry is shocked by this question, seeing how he always walked his cousin to and from school every year. Well, Nibbles is only a first grader so it's only natural. "Why?" He asks with sterness. "Well, I was going to walk with Tyke tomorrow." Of course, it's only natural, those two are close friends. Jerry smiles at him, "Why not?" Nibbles smiles back at him. "Ok, eat your dinner, remember we have to go to bed especially early tonight. Since school does start tomorrow." Jerry is starting his freshman year of high school and he wasn't exactly happy. Well, he did get to see his friends, Spike, Tweety, Sylvester, Tails, Amy, Sonic, and many others but, it just wasn't the same without him. Idiot, you just had to move. Why? Why did you have to move? Jerry thinks as he begins to clean up dinner. A tear runs down the side of his face, Nibbles places his hands on Jerry's arm, "Jer, what's wrong?" Jerry looks down at Nibbles and smiles. "Nothing, Nibbles, I'm fine." He lies. When he's done cleaning up dinner he puts Nibbles to bed. He then gets into bed himself, "I wonder how that stupid idiot is?" He asks with an arm over his eyes, "I never got to tell him." He says as he drifts off into a deep sleep.
