It was game night in the Otto household. How fun. This time I wasn't allowed any friends over so this was just going to be full of me wanting to get out of it. "Who's up for Chinese checkers?" Mom asked and I wasn't up for anything at all

"Oh, half the marbles are missing. Everyone spread out and find a suitable replacement for the red and white ones." Dad said and I'd rather not do any I'd that.

"And a suitable replacement for a pet in this house. Something snobby and purebred, with lots of health issues so it dies before I get bored with it." Alex said and Hans just oinked away.

"Why couldn't we have just got a dog. It would be a lot less smeller." I said before going to find some replacements. Anna-Kat looked at Oliver and I.

"You hurt his feelings! Don't you have a heart?" Anna-Kat shouted now I didn't care if I hurt the pigs feelings. But we all knew that last person wasn't for me.

"He does, and it's just covered under layers of snark." Mom said before I saw Taylor make her way downstairs and I shook my head meaning for her to go back. "Taylor, it's game night. Do you want to join us?" Mom asked her and Taylor just chuckled.

"Don't be ridiculous. I'm going downtown with my friends. Have fun with your little games." She said before leaving and I was glad she could make it out. Because I couldn't.

"I do not like that our nice, fun-loving Taylor has become since she started hanging out with these popular girls." Mom said to us and it didn't bother me. She was still my big sister and someone that I looked up to.

"This is the way she walks around school with her stuck-up friends..." Anna-Kat said before acting out Taylor's walk. And she did master it I will say.

"Excellent pantomime work!" Dad said to her with a smile and mom hummed in response. The doorbell went and we were saved. I then went upstairs. I had things that I had to do. I was avoiding what was going to happen downstairs. I needed to finish up my big essay before tomorrow. It was 500 words and I had 1. I heard some commotion with Taylor but I'd find out tomorrow. And that's exactly what I did.

"Are you okay? I don't know what happened yesterday night but I'm here." I said to her as I entered her room and she patted her bed and I knew what she wanted to do.

"Before we moved. You were pushed out your friendship group right." She said to me and I nodded at her. That was something that I always wanted to forget.

"Yeah and the best thing I did was showed them that I didn't need them." I said to her and she looked at me and nodded. She just needed to let herself be. Make new friends.

"I guess your right but I don't know how to do that." She said to me and I looked at her with a smile. I was definitely going to make sure that she'd get through this no matter what. Apart from the fact that I was working today so that I wouldn't be able to entirely get to help her out all day. And trust me the whole day at work went by so nicely. Especially since I knew what was going to be happening. It was the day that we'd be getting clothes. I saw Mom and Dad come into my room the next day. Something seemed off.

"Keep an eye on your brother, Spencer passed away today and he's acting fine." Mom said to me and I looked at the two of them.

"He's usually like this when he's sad. Trust me it'll set in when you least expect it." I said to the two of them and dad looked at me. Like he didn't know how I knew this.

"Well, we'll keep that in mind. But just look at for him if he needs anyone. He's more likely to go to you." Dad said to me and I nodded. It was the day that we'd be saying goodbye to Hans Gruber at the farm.

"Look. He already made friends." Mom said to us and I couldn't help but to smile. He was happier.

"Yeah. Pig friends." Anna-Kat said and that's what he needed. Not humans.

"He looks pretty happy." Dad said and Mom hummed in response.

"I knew he would be." I said to them all.

"He does, doesn't he?" Anna-Kat said and Mom nodded at her. It was nice just seeing him with new friends. Ones that he could actually have interactions with.

"Okay, we've been here long enough. Just say goodbye and we can get in with our lives." Oliver said as a goat was bleating in the background.

"Come on." Dad said and we went into the main paddock area. "Hans Gruber, I'm gonna miss you, big guy. Me and you, and you and me No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be Yep. That was our jam." Dad said getting an oink in response.

"Bye, Hans. I know we didn't start our the best of friends, but you grew on me. The night I ate all those Girl Scout Cookies, I looked over and saw you chewing on a used coffee filter. I feel like you did it to make me feel better about myself. And it worked, so thank you." Mom said and getting her oink in response. Then it was Taylor's turn.

"Goodbye, Hans Gruber. At least you can make friends here without your parents butting in and deciding who's best for you." Taylor said before looking at Mom and Dad I went over.

"Goodbye Hans Gruber, at least now you can run around with your new friends all day. Don't do any of the human stuff anymore." I said yo him before walking away. It was Anna-Kat's time.

'So this is it. When Daddy brought you home, you got a second chance at life, and I got a chance to know that real friendship is all about. I'm gonna miss your snorts and your nose kisses. I'm gonna miss playing fetch with Daddy's hairbrush." Anna-Kat said before Dad had a word to say.

"What did she just say?" Dad asked us all and he probably didn't want to hear that again.

"Shh." Mom said shushing.

"Be a good pig. And I'll be back to visit before you know it." Anna-Kat said to him before petting him.

"You did good, baby." Mom Sua's to her as she went to go and hug Dad. Only one person was left now.

"I'm spent. Let's go. Wait. Oliver. Aren't you going to say goodbye?" Anna-Kat asked as we were all leaving. He looked at us all.

"Fine." He said before making his way over to the pig. "Hey. Take it easy, pig." He said before going to walk back to us.

"Oliver, you're never going to see him again." Mom said to him and he exhaled. I had a feeling this is where he'd breakdown.

"Okay. I guess she's right. I'm not gonna see you again. But that's life." He said before crouching down in front of him. "I just want you to know...meeting you was one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I'm sorry I never told you that. I'm just...The thing is, I feel like I just got to know you, and now you're gone. It's not fair!" Oliver said before sobbing and Mom went over to him straight away.

"I know, baby. I know. Oh, my sweet boy." Mom said and it was sad to see Oliver like this. That night I won't to go and see Lilli and I was glad to be with my friends. It didn't bother me if I was missing out on a game night.
