It was midnight. The moonlight shines through the window of Dr. Teeth's bedroom. The ginger haired male was laying in bed, looking at the ceiling. He kept thinking about him and Zac's talk about love.

The good doctor has been in many relationships but they don't last long. He just can't let himself fully love again. The doc got hurt the last time he did. The reason for the scars on his inner thighs. Teeth let out a huff.

"Maybe Zac is right," he said to himself. "I mean maybe telling Zoot about my love for him will be good," the ginger haired male added. His eyes drift away from the ceiling and look over at his dresser. The dresser was covered in his hats and some jewelry. The jewelry shines in the moonlight. Dr. Teeth starts to remember the day that he first met Zoot.

It was a cold day in the fall. The leaves were falling on the ground and the sky was a bit cloudy. Floyd was carrying a tired little Animal on his back. They pick him up from the local daycare. Teeth was carrying a bag of snacks from a store.

The ginger haired male didn't look like him from now. He had a goatee before his beard grew in. The doc was trying out some eyeshadow looks to hide his blue eyelids. He mostly wore black and some dark shade of purple. Teeth was wearing a leather jacket that he got from a yard sale. Under the jacket was a white tank top.

He had some ripped blue jeans on with some pair of black dress shoes. The good doctor had his now long ginger haired in a man bun to keep it from blowing in his face due to the wind. Dr. Teeth look over at Floyd Pepper. The red haired male was wearing a red falter long sleeve shirt. He also has some jeans on with some brown boots. Floyd was wearing a jean jacket earlier but the jacket is now on the sleeping drummer.

Animal was wearing a sweater with a white bunny on it and had some sweatpants on. The jean jacket was wrapped around him like a blanket to keep him warm. The wild kid looked peaceful in his sleep.

The three of them kept walking to the hotel they were staying at for the month. As they walked, they heard some music coming from a corner of the street.

"What to check it out?" asked the red haired male.

"Why not?" replied the ginger haired male.

They follow the music. Floyd could tell it was from a saxophone. It sounds great, the person knew how to play a saxophone well. The three found the source of the saxophone notes. It was a man, he was short compared to the two males.

The guy was wearing a dark yellow sweater with a white scarf wrapped around his neck. An old, dark blue hat sat on the guy's head. The player had some black sweat pants on and some brown dress shoes. The guy had long curly dark blue hair that sat on his shoulders.

He didn't notice Teeth and Floyd Pepper as he played his saxophone. The saxophonist kept playing until the song he was playing was done. When he finished playing the last note, the dark blue haired male finally noticed the two men standing there.

"Hello?" the saxophonist asked. He faced the two. A black pair of sunglasses sat on his light green nose. The glasses cover his eyes. His blue skin looked like it was from the sky.

"Hey man, we heard you playing your saxophone. That was a great song you were playing" replied the red haired male with a smile on his face.

"Oh! Thank you very much." replied the saxophonist with a soft smile on his face. Teeth noticed the man looked a bit tired or burned out. The ginger haired male didn't say anything about it because it could be rude to bring it up.

"I'm Floyd Pepper" said Floyd as he held his hand out for the other man to shake.

"I'm Zoot" replied Zoot as he shook the red haired male's hand.

"Nice to meet you and this is Dr. Teeth" replied Floyd Pepper as he pointed at the doc.

"H..Hi" replied the ginger haired male with some blush on his cheeks. He felt..nervous all of a sudden. Why?

"Hi, nice to meet you" replied the dark blue haired male.

"You too," replied Teeth.

Suddenly the good doctor was snapped out of his flashback by a loud thump. He groaned as he got up from his bed. The ginger haired male put on his purple robe and tied it. He walks out of his bedroom and heads downstairs. The doc rubbed his eyes as he reached the bottom stair. Dr. Teeth look in the living room.

In the living room, Zac and Zoot were playing a board game. The saxophonist couldn't sleep and Zac was up to get a snack. "I win!" yelled the dark red haired male with a big smile on his face.

Zoot let out a chuckle. "Let's do another round" replied the dark blue haired male with a smile of joy on his face.

"Alright" replied Zac with a laugh as he set up the board game again.

The ginger haired male walked into the living room. "Why are you two up and playing a game?" he asked.

"We couldn't sleep," replied Zoot. "Want to join?" he added as he patted a seat next to him on the couch.

"Sure" replied Teeth as he sat down next to the dark blue haired male.
