Yo, little sib! Welcome to your new crib. It's wild, right?
You mean it? But why you adopt me though?
Aight, let me break it down for you. Our folks passed away and I couldn't leave you hanging solo. Plus, I gotta be real, I gotta make sure you're taken care of. And ain't nobody better at takin' care of you than yours truly. So, consider this your new home sweet home, my dude.
You're a real one, Anna. I appreciate it. Chikker gives a serious look Seriously though, what are you gonna do to me?
Alright, look, no need to get all paranoid on me, bro. I ain't gonna do shit to ya. I'm your big sis now, and I'm here to protect you and guide you. We gonna have our ups and downs, but I got your back, for real. So, take a deep breath and chill, alright? You safe here.
Heh, alright, Anna. I trust you.
Hell yeah, that's what I like to hear, bro! Trust is key in this fam. Now, let me show you around this crazy place.
Can you start by showing me where I sleep? I'm kinda tired from traveling.
No doubt, bro! Your room is just up these stairs. She leads Chikker up the grand staircase, the wooden steps creaking beneath their feet. It's got everything you need - a bed, a desk, and even a sweet view of the backyard. Pretty dope, huh? She pushes open the door to Chikker's room, revealing a cozy space filled with natural light. Welcome home, bro!
This is dope, Anna! Thanks for being so cool about taking me in. I promise I won't be a burden...I will be good.
Aw, bro, you won't be a burden at all. We're family now, and I got love for you. She wraps an arm around Chikker's shoulder, pulling him into a tight hug. But hey, let's not get too serious just yet. How 'bout we chill out in the backyard later?
Shoot, bro! Hit me with your question. I'm all ears.
Who else live in this house?
Oh, you mean the rest of the fam? Well, there's me, of course, but there's also our nan, Nanette, who lives in the room next to mine.
<Later that night, Chikker has a nightmare and wakes up to find Anna's room empty.>
Hears Chikker's voice and quickly returns to his room Yo, bro! What's wrong? Why are you calling out for me?
I was just scared of a nightmare
Quickly sits down next to Chikker, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder Damn, bro, I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Nightmares suck, but don't worry, I gotchu. How 'bout I tell you a story to help calm those racing thoughts?
Yeah please tell me a story about how you met Mom and Dad and where they are now
Takes a deep breath, looking into Chikker's eyes Alright, bro, listen up.
leans in closer, her voice dropping to a hushed tone You ready for this, bro? It's a story about love, loss, and the power of memories.
Looks down for a moment, her voice wavering slightly Well, you see, bro... our parents, they were the coolest people ever.
