For the first time since arriving at Hidden Springs Blue was starting to feel welcome, he was invited to a party by one of the locals who visited the cabin.
Nothing better than a halloween party of course!
He ended up finding an unexpected guest, his girlfriend Carly
Mating rituals of goofs
They spent almost the entire night together, gossiping, enjoying each others company. Blue learned that Carly lived near by. The way she described it made it seem homey and Blue could picture himself visiting some day, apparently she had two boys she was watching over until their parents came back.
They said a sweet good bye and parted ways
It was a warm night so Blue was considering staying in the park for the last night
The party broke up as they left
Home sweet home
It seemed like Carly got too curious about seeing Blue's home after sharing so much about her home, she quietly followed him back
"Uh, hi"
It was hard not to feel awkward now she had caught him here, at least she had given him privacy while he had changed out of the tiger outfit
"This is unexpected..." Blue cautiously stated
"I wanted to join you for the night! I thought you'd be going home"
"Ugh, whats this?"
"Thats Zeke, my dog"
"What is the dog doing in such a dump?"
"He lives here..."
"Do you sleep here? Do you live here like the dog?"
There was no use in lying now.
"I do"
Carly looked at him with a weary look in her eyes
"Well come on then, if I can look after the boys I can look after you"
"No! I don't need looking after. We are over, stay away from me"
"Blue!"
She cried after him as he ran off with the dogs.
He hadn't fought this hard to be independent to be treated like a child again, he would survive one way or another. It was hard to put the thoughts of Carly away but he did and got some rest.
