Wearing clothes in the picture.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So far, Quintin could say that his welcome to his new home, could have been the tiniest bit better. His Aunt Vivi had welcomed him with open arms, and so far she was definitely someone that Quintin trusted.

However, his dad could have givien him a little warning about Lewis. Granted he told him that Lewis was 'different' from normal people, but he could have told him that he was literally a skeleton!!!

Quintin was making his way down to the garage, his father, Uncle and Aunt, had all gone shopping to stock up food. His dad said that it would be good for him to stay behind and get used to his new home. So, here he was.

His dog bot Spanner, followed at his side. Quintin slowly opened the garage door. The garage looked like any other, their was a large shelf at the side of the room, and a large work bench on the other side. And in the middle of the room, was his fathers large orange van.

He smiled up at the car, he let his curiosity get the better of him and he unfortunately found himself looking over his farthers work. A small photo frame was on the desk, he rose a brow and looked at the small picture. Their was his Dad, his Aunt Vivi and what looked like another man?

He didn't know who the guy was, but his hair style looked very similar to his Uncle Lewis, perhaps even identical. "You sure do like looking through people's stuff huh?" Quintin jumped 5 feet in the air, landing on the floor with a thud and giving a giant moan of pain.

"W-Who said that!?" Spanner, had ran off in a frenzy, running around in circles around Quintin and barking loudly. "Aww geez!! You okay Q-!!?" Amy's head floated a bit above his

Quintins white face went white, and in instinct through his arms over his head
"DONT EAT ME!!!"

Amy groaned, she grabbed Quintins arm, floating up into the air to haul the boy to his feet. "I'm not gonna eat ya!!"

She paused momentarily before shoving her face into Quitins "I'd get arrested....." Quintin gave a small gulp.

"PFFT!! HAHAHA!! I'm just joking!!" Amy said, she went to give Quintin a playful punch in the arm, but Quintin shrank away and Amy settled with giving and awkward laugh

"Ah......ha. Anyway, whatcha doing down here anyway?....Quintin?" Quintin was standing against the door, pulling and yanking at the door knob. He struggled to get the door open, and hurriedly searched his pockets. "Key k-key......where's the key!!!"

Amy rolled her eyes, and walked her way towards the door. Quintin looked at her and gave a small nervous smile ".....Are you done?" Amy asked with a raised brow. Quintin sheepishly walked away from the door, feeling ashamed of himself, he was scared of Amy sure, but he didn't want to give off the impression that he HATED HER GUTS!!!!

Amy walked up to the door and turned the handle once, the door wouldn't budge. She sighed and walked back over to Arthur's desk, she sat down in the swivel chair and looked up at the ceiling "The doors jammed, does it from time to time....."

Quintin looked down at Spanner, Spanner rolled his eyes and pushed at Quintins leg, he moved the boy forward with significant ease, even for him being tiny. Quintin gave a small yelp when he was pushed near the chair that Amy was currently sitting in.

She had her skull rested in her arms as she flicked a pencil up the desk, waited for it to roll back down and then flick it back up again. Quintin looked at Spanner and gave him a questionable look. Spanner waved a paw at him.

Quintin sighed and slowly turned his head to Amy, who hadn't even noticed he was so close to her. He gave a small couch, gaining he girls attention.

"S-So......um. H-How are you today?" Quintin mentally slapped his brain, classic Quintin. Ain't you original!? Amy didn't seem to mind the question but, she didn't answer. The boy became a little less scared an edged his hand over to her shoulder, "I know your scared of me."

Quintin flinched and retracted his hand as Amy turned around "W-Wha!?" "Psh. Don't play dumb!! It's obvious, I mean, you didn't even make some kind of skeleton pun when you saw me, or even properly introduce yourself. Heck you even fainted when you first saw my dad!!!"

Quintin blushed a small hue of red and scratched the back of his neck. "I-um, well, it's not YOU. It's j-just that you....well you, um...." Quitin gestured to Amy. She sighed and placed a hand to her head "Because im a skeleton?"

Quintin gave a guilty nod, Spanner by this point had come to his masters side to give him some kind of reassurance. He tapped his foot lightly with his paw.

An awkward silence filled the room, Amy rocked back and fourth on her feet and Quintin just looked down at Spanner. Quintin was the first to break the ice "S-So....um, can we perhaps. S-Start over?" Amy was surprised and stared at Quintin, before giving a small laugh and smiling.

She walked over and shook Quintins hand, "Alright!! The names Amy, I already know your name from Uncle Arthur. And....um...who's the dog?" Quintin looked down at Spanner as he gave a small robotic yip.

He picked up his robotic companion and gave him a stroke behind one of his floppy ears, he melted into his touch and gave a small happy whine. "T-This is Spanner, h-he's my friend. M-My only f-friend really."

"Cool, so you made him? That's awesome!!!" Amy gave the small dog and scratch, the dog gave another happy yip and licked Amy's hand.

"Y-You think it's cool?" He asked with slight disbelief. People had called it weird, freaky, unnatural, stupid and much more. But never cool.

"Heck yeah!! I should totally take you to see Nicholas some time!!" "Who's Nicholas?" He placed Spanner back on the floor, the sound of a screw rolling along he floor caught the small dogs attention instantly. And he ran off after it.

"Just a pal of mine." The room was once again filled with an awkward silence. Quintin gave a small couch and Amy whistle a small tune.

"Well....." Amy looked over at Quintin "Looks like we're gonna get to know each other a little better...." Quintin gave a small smile, maybe Amy wasn't so bad.

I mean, sure she could incinerate hi in an instant, and she had yellow ghosts that scared the living life out of him, and granted she could float and had really weird fire powers. But, she seemed friendly.

"Hehe....Y-Yeah....I guess so...."
