OOC: This event happens before Shawn goes into the Book to get Roger

"Wow. Times must be hard." Dad said to Mom, putting a pancake on Shawn's plate and then pouring himself a cup of coffee.

"The Robinson's have moved out. It seemed just like yesterday that Bob was bragging about having a 'country-club' yard. And now. They're gone." Dad said.

"See that Shawn? That's why you always have to apply yourself. To make sure that you don't end up like that. Get too lazy and you'll get fired. Just like Mr. Robinson did."

Shawn dazedly applied syrup to his pancake. He'd been having bad dreams and hadn't really slept the previous night. Dad's voice snapped him out of his stupor. The Robinsons were gone? Shawn hadn't seen much of them; he'd heard they had a kid his age, but between Shawn's irregular schooling and acting work, he'd never really met them. He supposed he never would, now. "I don't want to be lazy, anyway. It sounds boring." But despite his words, with everything he was dealing with, Shawn wanted nothing more than a day off, or even a night without nightmares. He felt exhausted in his bones.

"Well, if you ask me it serves them right: no good, pretentious nonsense people. At least there moving. Now we won't have to worry about them having more lights than us at Christmas."

"Well, I don't know. I think it will be a bit lonely without having the Robinsons. Something about the neighborhood changing around. We don't even know how long they'll be gone before we get a new neighbor. He kiddo, maybe some kids your age will move in."

Shawn swallowed his bite of pancake before replying. He'd probably gone a little overboard with the the syrup because he'd been distracted. "That might be nice. But even if they don't, I've still got Bobby."
