A/N the picture up above is a picture from our dance rehearsal on stage yesterday. I'm the girl who has text on her pants. I'm literally dead right now and had only one show. Next week I'm having 5. So if I forget to post the it's because I'm just sleeping and slowly dying from the pain in my feet.

Albert, Spot and Race walked through the town they were in searching for a coffee shop.

"Al we've been at this street corner three times" Race complains walking behind a bit.

"I'm sorry that this stupid phone doesn't work the way I want" Albert answers furishly looking at his phone.
(Inspired by true events with my sister)

"Calm down" Spot laid his hand on Albert's shoulder.

"Wait, I know where we are" Race says as he looks at one of the buildings. Albert and Spot turn around at the same time confused looks on their faces. "One of my foster families lived there" Race pointed to the building in front of them.

Spot saw how Race's eyes saddened a bit as he thought about it.

"Was it one of the bad ones" Albert asked, seeing the same thing as Spot. Race slowly nodded, swallowing a lump in his throat.

"You're with us now so don't worry about them" Spot came on one side of Race. "And since you've been here I think it's best that you show us a good coffee shop" Albert said, coming on the other side of Race.

Then Race's head shot up remembering something. "I know one" He says as he starts running but not so fast that Albert and Spot couldn't catch up. Albert and Spot looked confused at each other before quickly following him.

"Here we are" Race came to a stop before a small cafe. "I would have never found this one" Albert chuckled a bit.

The three boys went inside and Race smiled brightly.

"Ciao" Race yelled as soon as he saw no one was there.

"Antonio" A female voice questioned from the back.

"Si" He answered with a smile.

Then a woman a bit younger than 30 appeared from the back with a bright smile.

"Long time no see kid" She hugged him closely.

"Yeah it's been sometime" He smiled.

"Before I get to anything else who have you brought with you" She looked over at Spot and Albert.

"Miss Bloom these are Albert and Spot" Both of the boys waved at the mentioning off their names.

"There my" Race stops to think what to say. They weren't his boyfriends but not actually his friends.

"We're his soulmates" Spot finishes for Race who feels himself turn bright red.

"Toni you didn't tell you had two" Miss Bloom says.

"You know what we will talk about this later, what do you boys want" She asks as she walks back behind the counter.

Spot and Albert looked at each other not knowing what they would take. Race laughed softly at the face's of the two.

"For me a hot chocolate and problay just coffee for them" He said with a half eye to Albert and Spot who nodded. Miss Bloom nodded as she started making the drinks.

"Still no coffee" She asked Race who shook his head and put his tongue out in disgust. "No thanks" He said.

Albert and Spot came to both sides of Race.

"If you don't mind me asking how did you two meet" Spot asked. Race looked down a bit not wanting to answer. Miss Bloom smiled softly.

"I used to be friends with his mom. And about eleven months ago he came into a foster family here close by and came to visit a few times" She told the other two who nodded.

"And then I started helping out here sometimes" Race said.

"Yeah I miss you sometimes kid, now it's not so busy but in about an hour" She puffed a bit thinking about it.

Before one of the boys could answer the bell of the door of the shop rang. As Spot, Albert and Race turned around they saw the person who walked in.

"Medda" The three said in surprise.

"Hey boys" She sounded just as surprised.

"Same as yesterday" Miss Bloom asked quickly and Medda nodded.

"Hadn't espect you three here" Medda laughed as she sat down at the counter/bar with the boys.

"We can say the same" Albert laughed a bit.

"What are you boys doing here" She asked the three.

"We went to visit Snyder and my dad" Race softly said.

"Was that today" Medda said confused.

"Yeah I thought Jack told you" Race said.

"He didn't tell me a day"

"Typical for Jack" Spot mumbled.

"You really went" Misses bloom asked. Race nodded. "I'll remember about a year ago that you said you'd rather go find your soulmates, but here too I guess there's changed a lot" She says more to herself then to the others.

"Wait you three" Medda turns too the three boys who nodded. "When did all of this happen I've not even been gone for a week" she over dramatized a bit.

"He finally told us yesterday evening but we've all know it from one of the first days he came live with us" Albert said wrapping his arms around Race.

"Well I'm happy for you three" Medda smiled. "And I'm happy to see you doing so good" Miss Bloom smiled.

"Yeah" Race mumbled.

"Jack just texted asking where we were" Albert said looking at his phone. "Sent him the life location otherwise he's not going to find it" Spot said. Albert nodded and texted Jack back.

"I liked seeing you boy's again but sadly need to leave" Medda said once she had finished her drink.

"See you soon Medda" Race hugged her close.

"Tell me about what happened today once I'm back home alright" She told the boy as she brushed his curls out of his hair.

"See you mom" Albert hugged her as he remeberd all Race had said to his dad about her.

"See you" Medda and Spot also shared quick goodbye's and Medda paid before she left. Spot, Albert and Race sat down in a boot as Miss Bloom went to the back to get ready for the busy hour that was coming.

"So you came here often" Albert looked around the small cafe.

"Yeah it was my escape from everything at my so called home" Race said, fidgeting with his fingers.

"Where is the restroom" Spot asked Race and Race pointed to a door in the back. Spot quickly got up and went to use the restroom.

Then the door of the cafe opened again. The people who walked in looked around the room and when they saw Race sitting they walked over to him.

"Look who showed up here again" The oldest boy said. And Race's head immediately went into panic.

Why did he think this was a good idea again, of course they came here.
