The rent? Oh no... Marcus groaned and walked to his kitchen, opening one of the cabinets and pulling down an old coffee tin. Upon opening it, he began pulling out a small roll of cash. Counting it out, he gave a small sigh, just enough to cover it. But it doesnt cover his other bills as well. But if what this... Autumn said was true, then he had a couple extra weeks to get some more money. 

He looked back at her as she explained that she was at his service until he was either happy or this harvest moon came in three months and he began to think. He thought back to the time that he spoke with his mother on the phone...

[i]When on earth are you going to get yourself a girlfriend Marcus?[/i] his mother asked, [i]I dont know, how about when I can get myself financially stable enough to have a relationship?[/i] he responded to her. [i]Son, I am at such a point that if you can at least get yourself a girlfriend, I will happily help you out money wise. I am serious! I'd like to see some grandkids before I become old and senile![/i]


"Hmmm... I think there might be a way you can help me" Marcus said to the Kitsune girl, "You see... Ive been... really low on money... not proud of it... but if I show my mom that I have a significant other... well then they would help me out until I can land myself a job.... so Autumn... as crazy as this sounds... I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend..."
