George POV
I've been on the road for a while now. All I've been doing so far is listening to an audio book while driving in the general direction that my compass is pointing. The needle hasn't moved much so that's telling me that my soulmate is actually really far away. That sucks but oh well.

Lunch time came upon me soon enough so I decided to unpack some food and go sit at a park bench or something so I could stretch my legs.

Ah~ this is nice. I stretched my back and my arms as I sat on the park bench with my lunch.
I made sure to enjoy every last bite and to really take in the environment. I haven't really been on an adventure before and I think it would be nice to look back on this moment one day and remember the great time I had.

Then, very abruptly, my thoughts got interrupted by a kid wearing a green(?) polo shirt who seemed to have lost his mind. He wasn't doing anything too strange. Just hanging upside down from a tree like a bat while singing a Billy Joel song from the top of his lungs.

I looked around to see if this boy might have any parents around, and by the looks of it, he was here alone.

"Hello!" He chirped as he made his way off of the tree and onto the ground.

"Hello..." I said. "Where are your parents? A kid your age shouldn't be out in the park alone."

As soon as I finished speaking, I noticed a second kid walk up. He was wearing a red(?) and white tshirt with a head of very unkempt hair to go along with it.

"Hey! leave Toby alone. Stranger danger." The boy in the red shirt said.

"Oh," I'm not sure what I should say in this kind of situation. After all, I'm just out here on a lunch break. I didn't mean to be interrogated by some kids. I also didn't want them thinking I was some pedo or something.

"I'm sorry, I was just stretching because I've been in my car all day. I didn't mean to bother you or your friend. I'll leave you alone now." I said trying to stay calm. Children bother me and this one in particular seemed like he was the bossy type that can get away with a lot of things.

"Yeah, you better leave now!" He said, puffing out his chest as if he was proud of himself or something.

Then his friend, Toby I think, walked up to me.

"Hello Mister. I'm sorry about my friend Tommy here. He can be a little extra sometimes. We were just messing around. I hope you have a nice day!" He then smiled and ran back to Tommy. After a few seconds they were out of my sight.

I liked that Toby kid, he seemed nice. Tommy on the other hand.... not so much.

Okay. So, I just threw Tommy and Tubbo in this chapter because I thought it might be funny. It doesn't really have any other significance to the actual story :/
As always, let me know how I could get better at writing. I'm always trying to improve myself :)
