*Beeps Excitedly*

Was Timon nervous? A little, considering he hadn’t been apart from Pumba for so long. But, there was an upside to this all – his new body. He was no longer a small meerkat, he was tall enough to see over everything and he probably wouldn’t have to worry about any hyenas picking on him anytime soon. Though, he felt his stomach begin to grumble. He clumsily began down the pavement, still not used to legs like this. He stopped when he saw someone nearby, “Hey kid, you wouldn’t happen to know where a guy could get some grubs around here would you?”

When they found themself on this strange planet, the first and only thing they wanted to do was find their friends. Despite being separated from their friends before, it hadn’t been on a world they didn’t know anything about. They’d at least known something about what they were walking into when on Jakku and Canto Bight. However, here they weren’t even certain as to what planet they were on. They also didn’t know much about how to be a human, since they’d been a droid before arriving on the strange planet. Deciding that they’d try to walk as they’d seen Poe and Rey and Finn and Rose do, they held out their arms for balance and slowly put one foot in front of the other. As they made their way down the street, they noticed a very familiar face. “Poe!” They exclaimed, wishing that they could roll up to him. Rolling would be much easier, however their legs were still wobbly. When they finally reached him, they wrapped their new human arms around him in a hug. “You’re here too! Wherever here is.”

Poe was almost startled by the sudden shout, but when it came to Barry it was easy to get used to considering how often it occurred with them. He let out a laugh as he hugged them back, not sure what sort of game they were playing at this point. “Of course I’m here. I’m always here. What are you up to? You seem to be having some sort of trouble with your feet there,” he teasingly pointed out, pulling back from the hug to scan the other over just in case there was something physically wrong.

Barry couldn’t believe the male’s answer. They couldn’t imagine a life without really having any friends. As a result, they immediately hugged Jesse. “If you want, I’ll be your friend.”

Jesse was a bit surprised by the hug but it didn’t take long for him to return it, wrapping his arms around Barry. He almost felt tears well up in his eyes from a mixture of happiness and sappiness. “Thank you Barry, that actually means a lot to me.”

Although Barry was no longer crying over what happened, they very much wanted to. It wasn’t fair that someone should give them such an ultimatum where either they hurt someone else, or they got hurt. And they hadn’t meant to write about wanting Artie as a guardian in their journal. It had just slipped out. They hadn’t meant it as an insult in any way to their parents. But since they spent so much time around Artie, they thought that things might be easier on him if he was their guardian. Looking up from their huddled knees at the sound of footsteps, they saw a familiar face, and the tears started back up. Wiping the tears from their eyes, Barry shook their head. “No, they always do. And I’m so thankful for that.”

Poe let out a gentle sigh, pulling out a handkerchief he always had on him and handed it out to the other. “Hey, you don’t have to cry, Barry. It’s okay,” he reassured. “But, if they give you everything you need, why would you want someone else to take care of you?” He asked softly, not sure he understood the reasoning behind it. “Do you like him a lot?” He said, implying that the other had romantic feelings for Artie.

Maxwell had spent a good hour preparing the current set up he had in his garden, a beautiful yet full table in front of him. Besides two empty seats, the other chairs were filled with his stuffed animals to make things seem less lonely. He was in the process of fixing the fluff around one of his stuffed rabbits’ eyes and adjusting the bow he had around its neck when he heard the soft sound of approaching steps. “Well, if it isn’t our guest of honor!” He smiled brightly, stepping aside to reveal a table filled with sweets, cakes, and tea. “I would have invited my real rabbit to come have a tea party with us, but I figured it probably wouldn’t be sanitary to have an animal around so much food.” He giggled softly.
