Alabama Moon Page #6

done, Mr. Wellington.

Pap was wrong about you.

You are a good person.

Well there are a lot of

good people out there Moon.

I'm sure you'll find

that out for yourself.

- You ready?

- Yeah.

Bye, Mr. Wellington.

Come and visit us.

Yeah, I get down

that way.

Well I guess you're

my new Pap, right?

I could never replace your Pap...

but... I would like for you to

think of me that way, yeah.

So you came and looked for us?

Yeah, we went lookin' for ya.

Your dad just...

he kinda disappeared.

He didn't leave a trace

of where he was going.

Why did I we live

out there like that?

Why couldn't I

have any friends?

Well...

maybe that was what

he was running from, huh?

Moon, your dad...

just kinda did his own thing

and went his own way

and he didn't trust most people.

I think when your mom died,

he took it pretty hard.

- I lost a good friend too.

- Yeah, I heard about that.

I'm Sorry.

You know, Moon?

The important thing...

is that, you don't have to

feel like he did.

Most people don't.

Moon, this is your Aunt Sarah.

- And this is Alice.

- Hi.

And this is David.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Alice, tell him about

your mean hot chocolate.

Come on.

- Hey buddy, you okay?

- Yeah.

I was just going to write

a smoke letter to Kit and Pap

telling them where I was, and

how nice things are here.

But... I don't believe that smoke

letters really work anymore.

I bet they know.

Don't you think?

I bet they know.

You know Moon. We don't expect you

to just slide into everything here.

It's a lot to get used to.

especially coming from a background

as different as yours.

We'll just take it slow. I just know

everything's gonna be fine.

- Right?

- OK.

- Can I make hot chocolate?

- You bet you can. It's cold out here.
