A couple of hours later, *Cars Honking *

A goat gasps after waking up: "What the, where am I", she looks around to see that she is outside while she is supposed to be napping after the last day of Class 7B. The goat notice that she is in an unknown alleyway, she sees a bag with a note that wrote:

Dear Expo, Your father doesn't approve of your independence, that you won't marry a man so he decides to kick you out. (P.S. I packed you some goodies!).

Expo: "Seriously, that is so arrogant!", she digs in the bag to see what's inside. Some items like clothes, a first aid kit, hygiene product, and a stuffed animal, Expo: "Mackenzie I forgot about you, I thought Mickey had you!"

Expo got up from the cardboard bed that her mother also gave but Expo ain't going back to this alleyway, she starts her journey to a local supermarket to buy some food with the allowance her father gave her. Expo is a vegetarian because most veggies are cheap and easy to find, as she is picking up some carrots Funky came behind her.

Funky: "Vegetables!? Pick some real foods honey, you don't have to be quirky to get a man to like you!", Expo: "You are literally drinking alcohol, that's not a real "food"!". Funky: "Don't get smart with me woman!, what's with the bag?", Expo: "This is none of your business!"

Funky: "You look quite young, do you need a job and a place to stay?", Expo hesitates before answering: "I am, yes and yes... But I can't trust you, you just made fun of me!". Funky: "Uh... yea sorry about that, but I'm understaffed so I kinda need some employees...", Expo: "So what's the position?".

Funky: "I'm a motel manager, I have to interview you first though", Expo: "I'm not old enough to own a resume and I still don't trust you..." Funky: "Seriously fine, this compass helps me navigate this town because I'm not from here and it will be a symbol of my promise to not hurt you.", Expo: "This is so radical, promise kept!"

After Funky sent Expo to his motel and let Jimmie do his job as a receptionist, he then went out to find another employee and found a homeless man curled sitting up. Funky: "Hey man, are you okay?", the homeless man looked up and sees Funky offering a hand to him. The man felt a spark in his eye but Funky didn't see it because of his long bangs, he accepted Funky's hand and lifted him up off the ground.

Funky: "Congratulations man, you will be my employee!", the man: "Thanks, don't you interview me first?" Funky: "Yea but you'll get the job, come follow me to my motel.", the man: "That's awesome dude, I owe you a lot!" Funky kowns this one ain't going to betray him, if the man betrayed him then he's done for!

Jimmie was about to finish the interview with Expo when Funky entered, Funky: "Are you done interviewing her yet?". Expo: "I actually go by they-", Funky: "I'm not talking to you woman, are you done or what?".

Jimmie: "Yes Funky, what do you need?", Funky: "I need to interview him too while I'm going to get a badge because names are hard to remember, I'll be back once you are done interviewing them" he slams the door behind him.

Jimmie: "Well alrighty then, Expo you have to stay here until further notice while I interview this man", Expo: "Yea, that's cool". Jimmie: "Okay first of all my name is Jimmie Carey and I'm 18 years old, our manager is named Funky Tundra and he's 26 years old", Jimmie waited for any of them to say anything before interviewing the man.

Jimmie: "Let's start with your name, age and animal", the man: "My name is Barnett Stones, I am 29 years old and I'm a squirrel". They waited for Funky to come back with badges, Funky: "Occupation for Expo is assistant, and for Barnett is the janitor" he left right away.

Expo: "Yea, I guess that's fine", Barnett: "Aww man, it's okay tho". Expo: "If you feel discomfort, you shouldn't keep your feelings a secret.", Barnett: "I don't think it was discomfort, I think it was... jealously?". Expo: "I don't blame you, being an assistant is better than being a janitor", Funky: "I'm back, here are your badges and room keys!'

They both were walking to their rooms, Barnett: "Hey uh Expo... I was thinking, could you accompany me to get professionally cleaned up?". Expo: "You mean like a spa day, you can get pedicures and a haircut!", Barnett: "Minus a haircut only, I love my silky long soon-to-be clean hair.".

Expo: "Wait do you even have any money, you actually look like a homeless person?", Barnett: "My parents send me away for some reason, I had a job and a house but people can just be so cruel...". Expo: "Oh..., I'm sorry for that...", Barnett: "It's probably because they're homophobic..."

Expo: "I wish parents are supportive of us, we can not let these people bring us down!", Barnett: "I feel that Funky is one of them, I'll try to fix him!". Expo: "Yeah that's the spirit, see you soon at the lobby!", all motel rooms are small so there isn't much to do.

After going to school, Expo showers and goes to sleep then eat. They didn't eat yet so they put their stuff down in their room and went to eat some vegetables then drink water, 30 minutes later. Barnett: "Let's go Expo, hey I didn't get your full name yet?", Expo: "Oh it's Exponent Goat, yeah that's really my dad's name".

Barnett: "Yea and my dad's name is Stones, like what?". Expo: "It's cool to meet someone like you, a man who isn't an insecure-toxic for his masculinity", Barnett: "But it's probably because I'm Bi, I'm getting my nails painted green".
