The tall, handsome fellow trying to sedate the hefty teenager with candy was Nick, Fatty's best friend. The unlikely pair had been best friends since Fatty first moved to the small City of Misty Hills around 11 years ago. The two guys lived next door to each other ever since Fatty moved in with his Uncle Timothy. Since they started school, Nick looked out for Fatty and Fatty helped Nick with his school studies. It was a fair trade friendship and the two generally got along really well.
