How did the immature trio end up with arf?
Marie, Bully, and Izzy + Ozzy met in highschool and moved into a house together shortly after graduation, leaving their families behind.
Sweetie, even at a young age, was very close to Bully and PISSED at his friends for "taking him away from her." Any time she was taken to visit, she'd be kicking and screaming, doing anything to keep from leaving. And as she got older, she was capable of straight-up committing crimes to stay there. As a sort of last resort, ARF relented to let her move in so she wouldn't kill anyone. And shockingly... she mellowed out! Happily ever after :)
Violet (Izzy & Ozzy's mom) was overworked and doing her best to care for April... ARF would have April spend a week with them every now and then to help out. One visit, April met Sweetie! The adults were afraid of how they would interact (Sweetie could still be a bit uh evil and April was. um. odd.) But to everyone's surprise, they got along GREAT! April was lonely back home and Sweetie definitely needed someone her age present... they became very close friends, and the idea of April also moving in permanently was brought up.
Max thought he was living a pretty good life. Both sisters graduated, and their parents are wealthy, so it was just him, a big house, and videogames. What more could a boy want? One day, he was begrudgingly forced to visit Marie, and... two little girls were there? And-and WHAT DO YOU MEAN they don't care I'm rich and I have a cool iPad?? April and Sweetie were able to show Max the joys of friendship and using your imagination and all that. So... Max soon wanted to move in, too! Forget his wealthy videogaming lifestyle! THIS is MUCH cooler!
And so ARF moved into a bigger house to accomodate everyone, and the rest is history.
