(this takes place in the 1920's I'm pretty sure) Star is part of the richest family's in Ramshackle. Even though she is part of that family she never fit in. Her Mother usually yelled at her for giving food to scrap's and give them stuff to but things to live. Her mother is forcing her to wear a dress again, pink, puffy, and everything she hates. Star has sensory issues, but her mother still compares her to her siblings telling her to be like them.
Star is crying in the Alley way, when three scrap's Skipp, Vinnie, and Stone come along and they talk among them selfs. "What is a rich snob doing in our ally way" Vinnie whispered to Skipp and Stone. "Maybe we could steal her-" Stone walks towards Star. "I'll handle it" He sits next to Star with a cigarette in his mouth. "It looks like you got a problem" I look up at him. "Yea..kinda" He blows out a puff of smoke while Skipp and Vinnie sit next to her to... surprised that she not ruing away from them. "What kind of problems does a princess like you have?" Vinnie has an attitude, not thinking the rich could have problems. "My mother threatening to disown me if I don't where fucking dresses..it's fucking bull shit..and my mother scolds me for leaving like 10 cans of beans out side for people that need it..like you guys..not to be rude" She didn't want to offend them. "A rich person who is not a snob...thought I would never see the day" Skipp was excited that something like this could happen. Star sees a rat and she picks it up, which make Skipp, Vinnie, and Stone surprised. "You...a rich person...picking up a rat?" Vinnie is surprised. "Rat's are just like mice..one is dirty and one is clean...clean the rat and it can look like a mouse..dirty a mouse and it would be considered a rat...for example rich and poor people are the same...put a scrap in fancy clothes they would pass as rich...put the rich in something normal..the are seen as a scrap...at the end of the day we are all human...why make a big deal about it" Stone replied. "I guess that's true in some sense" Skipp and Vinnie look at the rat in Star's hand. "Well you confirm that there are some good rich people out here in this shit bag of an earth" Vinnie says
Vinnie throws a mud ball at Star to see how she would react. Star throws a mud ball back at Vinnie. It surprised her the Star would play in mud. "So the little princess is not afraid of mud." Vinnie is throwing a mud ball up and down in her hand. Star takes off her high heels to run faster and runs in a mud puddle, it splashes Skipp, Stone, And Vinnie. "A rich not minding mud..you are different princess." Vinnie laughs. "Not minding hanging out with scrap's like us" Skipp says. "You guys are way more then scrap's...I consider you guys more as family then my own family." Star smiles. The midnight bell rings. "Shit" Star climbs to her bedroom window..."if guys need anything I live here"
