"We've gotta help him." Jeral urged Missy.

"Agreed." Missy said, already headed in that direction.

"Aw, is pretty-boy gonna cry?" Sam taunted. "Want me to-" He broke off when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

The second Sam broke off Missy plucked the bear out of his hands. "Why don't you pick on someone your own age." She said, but he was already gone. She handed the bear back to Darin. "Here. Um, if you want to come over to our house after school I can sew that up for you." Darin looked up at her with big eyes. Someone was offering to help him? He nodded, not trusting himself to speak. "This is my little brother, Jeral." Missy motioned. "I'll bet you two have a lot in common."

Jeral sat his sister a half-annoyed, half-grateful look before turning back to the boy who had been fascinating him for the past few weeks.

Darin looked up at Jeral and clutched Lala closer, as if afraid that he, too, might try to do her harm. But he didn't really believe that, because he had been watching Jeral for a while and didn't think he was that kind of person. "You're sister's nice." He said softly.

Jeral nodded his agreement. "Yeah, she is." He nodded his head toward Lala. "So, what's her name?"

"Lala." He blushed faintly. "I was only two years old when mama gave her to me."

Jeral smiled. "Your mother sounds like a nice woman."

Darin shook his head. "No, I don't think she was." He said quietly. "She walked out on us when I was very young."

"Oh." Jeral scuffed his foot, feeling uncomfortable. "Do you mind if I sit down?"

Darin shrugged and motioned for Jeral to sit beside him. "Go ahead."

Jeral sat, glad at not being told to leave and waited another minute before asking another question. "So. . .you play videogames?"

Darin shook his head, his eyes wide. "N-no. Pa can't afford to buy us a system. . .and I don't have any - many friends."

Jeral diverted his eyes as he caught the accidental faux pas. The poor boy didn't have any friends at all. "You wanna play Super Mario Brothers with me while Missy sews up Lala?" He realized after he said it how natural the bears name seemed to roll off his tongue.
