(nervously) Hello? Who is this? Oh...you're looking for Happiness. Here he is - over here

(Gets on the phone) Hello? Oh Mom. How you doin'? Yeah. For real?? I Can go see Dad? Wow. That's great. Finally!! I'm on my way. Love you

(to Shyboy) Hey Shyboy! You know who just called? That was my Mom. She said I can go see my Dad!

For real? How long are you gonna be gone?

I don't know. That's why I'm going right now to my Mom's house. My mom said she's writing a letter to him and on top of the letter is his address. She said, "If you come home right now, I'll give you the letter and you can come see your father for the very first time.

So you're gonna leave and go see your father and leave me alone? You're probably gonna go far a way - and leave me down here alone. And you know I'm afraid. If you leave me for a long time - I don't know - I'll do something crazy and commit suicide. Please don't leave.

(Aside) I really want to see my father - but I know if I leave Shyboy will go do something stupid. I feel responsible and kinda proud that he feels safe around me. But I'm not the only person. I only have bus fare for one person - and also I would have to be responsible for him. He's like a little brother - but we're the same age. I'm mature - he acts like I'm his Daddy. He acts like a baby.
(to Shyboy) Please don't go and commit suicide. I really have to go see my father. I never met him before. I want to give him a hug and to say if he can come home. If you hadn't seen your father and you got the chance to see him for the last time - how would you handle this. How would you feel if I came up to you and said" Can you stay?? Your father's not that important?"

I would stay with you and help you with your problems.

What kind of problems? Why did you bring that up? Why Did you say something like that to me? I'm not the one with the problems. You're the one with the problems. I feel like you're all over me. You're not like my other friends - you're on me 24/7. 'I need this, I need that!' I feel impatient. I have no time for lectures. I gotta go! You gotta work out your own problems. I can't help you form being shy...I just want to be on my own for once. Ever since I met you you've been on my back about trying to help you from being shy-

But I really care about how you treated me. I never had a friend before. I was nervous when we first met. But now I'm not. Happiness, I need you. Without you I feel like garbage. You treat me like I was your younger brother. You feed me. You take me everywhere you go. You taught me how to ride a bike! I can't even talk right now. Without you, I'm nothing.

You could make friends if you went up to people - and talked to them. Say 'Can I hang around you?' Act like they're me.

Your father probably won't even be there by the time you get there.

I have a feeling he will be. I have to see him once to know about my father. I want to know where I got my looks from. I Want to know why he wasn't there for me through thick and thin. The empty spot in my heart would be filled. I'd feel assured. I think you're just saying 'I'll commit suicide' so I'll stay. I hope this makes you be a man of your own.

(thinks hard) I think you're right. I Know I been crowding you. I Have to start taking matter into my own hands. I Thank you for putting up with me. Good luck finding your father.
