A new place, a new life. It wasn’t easy to feel like you had to start a new life over. But that’s how Maddie was feeling. After being ripped from her life and her family, she now had to create something new. Lucky for her, it wasn’t the first time she had to start from scratch. But this time was different. This time, she was ripped away; it wasn’t a choice. This time, she had been happy with her life. That made this so much harder. The one thing keeping her from falling apart, though, was her brother. Having Buck around was helping her keep her sanity.

Ever since she moved to L.A., Maddie has made sure to solidify her bond with Buck. He was her rock, and she did her best to be the same for him. Since her move, they had made a habit of getting together often, at least once a week (though usually more), to catch up and stay involved in each other’s lives. They may be in a new place, but there was no reason to let that habit die. So she had gone out and grabbed a whole bunch of food from different restaurants and set up a spread of a large variety of foods. There were picnic foods like fried chicken, potato salads, coleslaw, hot dogs, macaroni salads, fruit cups, and rolls. There were seafood options like grilled shrimp, crab legs, catfish bites, and tuna salad. Then there were some casseroles and sides like garlic bread and cheesy toast—so many options. By the time Buck got home, she had just finished setting it up and poured them some wine. “Buck! You are just in time!” She greeted with a big smile. Grabbing the wines, she handed him a glass, then hugged him. “Just like we always do.” She said with a gesture towards the food. “Only difference is Chim isn’t here.” She said with a sad look that quickly faded. “Well, come on. Dig in!”

Today had been a long day and Buck had been glad to be going home. He had no idea if anyone would be there when he got there, but he smiled when he heard Maddie call out his name after he walked into the apartment. "Hey," he greeted back as he took a few more steps into the apartment. He couldn't go any further since Maddie was right there, handing him a glass of wine and then hugging him. He hugged her back and then looked in the direction she had motioned towards. There was a lot of food. "I guess it's a good thing I came home hungry." He was pretty sure there might be leftovers since it looked like it was just the two of them. "Maybe he'll show up one of these days." He hoped so since he hated to see his sister sad. "Uh, yeah, okay." He didn't need to be told twice. He walked over, set the glass down and then picked up a plate. "So, what did you get up to today?" he asked as he started to add different things to his plate.

“Yes, and I hope you’re starving!” She laughed as they hugged. “I really hope so.” She said with a sad sigh as they wished for Chimney to pop in. Following Buck, she sipped her wine before setting it down and grabbing a plate for herself. She piled on some food and took a seat with him. “Just walked around, getting to know the place. Got all this food. Oh, did you see those maypoles? So random.” She said with a shake of her head and taking her first bite. “How was your day? Anything exciting happen?” She asked.
