"And Mom fell for you the same way?" asked Juni.
*****
"Coulda warned me," huffed Krill.
"You're always so serious, Bro," said Maven, "that sometimes, I doubt you have any sense of humor at all."
Krill just grumbled and rolled his eyes.

"Pretty much," Luke said. "Two miss-placed New Yorkers."
~~~~~~~
"Krill you're still to young to be acting like Doc," Phoenix said. "You need to loosen up."

"Oh, she's a New Yorker like you too?" asked Juni.
*****
Krill huffed again and shifted into gear. "I don't need this," he grumbled, "I'm going to my room."
Ebony sighed as she watched her son leave her room.

Luke nodded. "She's from Brooklyn and I'm from Manhattan. Haven't been back since we each left."
~~~~~~
Phoenix watched at the Viper boy vanished down the hall. "He's been a bit moody lately."

"Oh, cool," said Juni, "I wanna visit New York sometimes and see the Statue of Liberty and drive across the Brooklyn Bridge and and..."
She was becoming excited.
*****
Maven pulled up to help her father support her mother. Ebony nodded, sighing, "Yeah, he has. I think it's because of school. He's been having a hard time."

"Maybe one of these years," Luke said with a laugh. "You'll have to ask your mother about that."
~~~~~~
"Whats he having trouble in?" Phoenix asked.

"Awww," Juni said, looking up at her father with big eyes.
*****
"I don't know, but he's been getting into a lot of fights in school lately," said Ebony worriedly, "He's come home with a black eye once, but he wouldn't tell me anything. I worry about him."

"Just give her that puppy-dog eye treatment that you use on me," Luke said. "But you might still might have to wait. New York is a big place and we don't want you going off and getting lost on us."
~~~~~~~
"Maybe he's getting picked on," Phoenix said. "I did because both of my parents were dead when I was in school."

"I don't want to get lost," said Juni, as she snuggled up against her father's side, "That would be scary."
*****
"Probably," said Ebony, "but everytime I try to talk to him about it, he shuts me out. He says I don't understand what it's like."

"You wouldn't be the only one," Luke said, wrapping a tire around her. "New York can be a big and scary place."
~~~~~~~
"How about I give it a try," Phoenix said. "Might take it if he hears it from someone else."

"I don't wanna make you and Mom worry about me," Juni nodded, "Can we go back home now, please?"
*****
"Sure," nodded Ebony, "Go right ahead. It should hopefully knock some sense into him."

"Okay Babe," Luke said with a nod as he shifted into gear.
~~~~~~
"I'll see what I can do," Phoenix said, shifting into gear and heading to where Krill's room was.

Juni shifted into gear and followed her father back down to town, being careful to stay on the road and within the speed limit.
*****
Krill was resting on his sleeping pad in his room. He was wearing headphones and listening to music.

Luke lead the way back to where they lived and nudged the door open.
~~~~~~
Phoenix pulled up to the door and knocked on it loudly. "Krill?"

Juni zipped inside first. There was a pleasant aroma coming from the kitchen.
*****
Krill could hear his aunt outside his door, even through the music. "Come in."
