AN: Sorry it took me so long to update this. I really do apologize. I'd like to thank i1976 for all of her great reviews.
I really have no good reason for why I wasn't able to finish this chapter.

Richie rapped softly on Fonzie's door.

Fonzie opened it. "Hey there Red, Potsie" Fonzie smiled "What's with the bags?"

"You underestimated them Fonz. They're not my parents anymore."

Fonzie stepped aside and let Richie and Potsie in. "I understand you Rich, but why Potsie?"

"I tried asking, but she didn't answer. She just wanted him out. It's not fair Fonzie, it's just not fair."

"Hey now, my dad walked out on me before I could and my mom ditched me when I was just a kid. At least your parents had reason. A stupid reason, but they still had one."

"Your right Fonz, I'm sorry. And I'm sorry to you Potsie, for getting you kicked out from another home for being accepting."

"Yeah, just for being accepting."

Fonzie gave him a weird look when a note was slid under the door. Potsie picked it up and read it aloud "Arthur Fonzarelli: you have until 1pm to vacate the premises. If you are not gone by then, we will have you arrested for trespassing. -Mr and Mrs Cunningham"

"Damn" Fonzie muttered. Fonzie ran to the closet and carefully took down his James Dean poster and rolled it up. He grabbed his combs and his money jar. "Ready?" he asked.

"Where are we gonna go Fonz?" Potsie asked

"Anywhere but here. Got your keys Red?"

"Yes, but my parents are probably going to report it stolen before we can go an-"

"Give them to me."

Richie fished his keys from his pocket. Fonzie darted out the door and climbed in the car. Richie and Potsie climbed in after him. Fonzie started it up and raced out of the driveway.

"Where are we going?"

"Bus depot, then New York."

"But Fonz, we barely have any money."

"I have enough for two months rent. After the bus tickets, we'll have enough for one month rent. We can all get jobs once we get there and then we'll be set."

Richie nodded. "New York?" he thought "Why New York?"

Fonzie pulled up behind the bus depot and hopped out. "This way, when they report it stolen, the police will think it was just missing."

Richie nodded. The three walked into the bus station. Richie and Potsie stood in the back of the line.

"What are you doing?" Fonzie asked. He got Richie and Potsie to follow him. He walked over to the counter with a young girl behind it and snapped his fingers. The girl swooned and pulled Fonzie to the counter. "Three for New York."

The girl looked back and printed out 3 tickets. "Don't tell my boss, he'll fire me. Please don't go for long Fonzie."

"Ayyy, don't worry, I'll be back."

The girl leaned over the counter. Fonzie glanced at Richie and quickly gave her a peck on the lips. He grabbed the tickets and walked out the doors.

Wiping his mouth. "Ugh, I need to get rid of that taste" He grabbed Richie and pushed him against the wall and shoved his tongue down Richie's throat. Richie shut his eyes and really got into it. Potsie peered around the corner and saw a couple of cops nearing. "Quit it" Potsie hissed tapping Fonz.

Fonzie pulled away from Richie and just then the cops rounded the corner. The cops just passed them by, paying no attention.

"Thanks Pots" Fonzie said.

Potsie smiled shyly "Your welcome."

The three walked over to their bus and got on. Richie peered out the window as the bus was pulling away, subconsciously saying goodbye to everything he knew.

"I can't believe you raised him to be a homosexual."

"I raised him homosexual, Marion? You would be mistaken, I did nothing but encourage the boy to join sports and the army. There is no way any of my teachings would have veered him that way. You let him wear dresses and make up."

Marion and Howard lay down in their bed.

"How does this happen?" Howard sighed, placing his hand over his head. "He started out so promisingly"

"I'm really sorry Fonz" Richie said, once Potsie had fallen asleep.

"For what?"

"I just.. I took so much away from you. I took you away from all of your girlfriends, your restaurant, and now your home. I'm really sorry Fonzie."

"Ayyy, you've given me so much. Besides, the Fonz is never taken from places, the Fonz is the taker, not the take-ee."

Richie smiled at this. He loved Fonzie's carefree ways. He loved Fonzie's attachment to his leather jacket. He loved Fonzie's attachment to his motorcycle. Fonzie's motorcycle. It hit Richie. "Fonz, what about your bike?"

Fonzie looked up at Richie "Forget about it. It's in the past now. We're looking at the future now. Towards New York, towards us Richie."

A smile came across Richie's face. The Fonz was changing, and for the better. "Maybe one day he'd even start going by Arthur." Richie laughed inwardly at the thought.

"He could sleep anywhere." Fonzie gestured at Potsie. "He deserves the sleep, poor guy."

Richie nodded and rested his head on Fonzie's shoulder and shut his eyes. Fonzie planted a soft kiss on Richie's head. Richie couldn't remember a time when the Fonz had been sweeter.

Richie opened his eyes a few hours after dozing off. He looked over to see Fonzie asleep and Potsie barely awake. He stretched his arms and legs out. He tugged lightly on Fonzie's jacket to wake him up.

Fonzie's eyes shot open. "Did you just do what I think you did." Said Fonzie, surprisingly wide awake.

"Sorry Fonz, I just wanted you to be awake. I know this sounds crazy, but I'm really going to miss them Fonzie, even though they-"

"Don't you worry your pretty little head about it. If they don't love you because you love me then they never really loved you to begin with."

Richie smiled slightly. "I know Fonz. It's just hard to get over the fact that they would do this, after telling me they'd always love me"

"I know Rich, I know."

The bus pulled up to one of it's many stops. "You've got 45 minutes folks." Announced the bus driver before opening the doors and getting off for his break.

"Hey Red, wanna go and stretch our legs, if you catch my drift?"

Richie grinned and the two went off and walked to the bathroom. Once inside they noticed the amount of men in the bathroom for so late at night, especially at a bus depot.

"Fonz" Richie whispered "What do you think they're all doing here?"

Fonzie and Richie heard some moaning coming from one of the stalls, and saw a few different pairs of shoes coming underneath the stall. It suddenly became very apparent why a bathroom at a bus depot at night could be so popular.

Richie lightly grabbed Fonzie's hand and whispered "I think we've had enough stretching."

Fonzie nodded and the two got back on the bus.
