Two nine year olds laughed while picking flowers. One was a brunette haired girl named Ezelle Alpha and the other a boy named West Alpha; and although they were not siblings, they were cousins. West had spent every summer with Ezelle's family since he was first born so he and Ezelle had become inseparable. They spent days and nights together either outside or in their rooms. But today was the last day West would be staying at the house and the two of them were making the best of it.

They played Pokémon together and then went outside and played space cowboy which was one of West's favorite games to play because he considered himself a true cowboy. Afterwards, West took Ezelle's hand before hopping into the car and waving goodbye to the girl and then, before they knew it, the car was pulling away.

It wasn't until after West had left when Ezelle noticed something was wrong.

"Mama, what's wrong? You've gotta sour look on yer face!" said Ezelle worriedly.

"Baby, we gotta talk. It seems that West's mother is expecting."

"Expectin' what mama?"

"A baby, but I talked to your dad's sister and she says that she doesn't want West to come over anymore."
