Goldie and Blossom

## Relationship

### Status: Friends

In The Great Bloom, Goldie is the first we see to interact with Blossom after she wakes up. Goldie had been sitting in the fields when he noticed that he wasn't alone, and out of curiosity, found Blossom. At first, Goldie had come off as mean and loud to Blossom, but after frightening Blossom a few times, Goldie noticed that he should try be a little calmer with Blossom in order to avoid frightening her. After realising that he had to be friendly to Blossom, Goldie became more blunt and rude, but this was to keep him calm.

After noticing that Blossom had become intrigued by the tulip, he gained his own curiosity, but also became skeptical of Blossom's powers. After the sun began to set, Goldie was hoping to head home, so he began asking Blossom if she had somewhere to go for the night. Since Blossom didn't remember where she lived, Goldie had offered for Blossom to stay the night at his apartment, opening up to Blossom and becoming friendlier with her.

While driving in Goldie's car, Goldie continues to open up and become friendlier with Blossom. It is at this point where Goldie introduces himself to Blossom and speaks about his life. Blossom begins to ask about why Goldie is so far away from the city, but Goldie refuses to talk about it. Blossom continues to push for an answer, which causes Goldie to tip over his edge and leave the car. Blossom then becomes worried for Goldie, hoping that he isn't upset at her. Goldie finally reveals to Blossom that he had lost his job that same day, and that was why he was so far out from the city. Blossom attempts to help make Goldie feel better about the situation by telling her own personal story, but this set Goldie off again. Goldie then begins to yell at Blossom. This causes Blossom to begin crying, but this also allows Blossom to remember and talk about her friendship with Abstracty. Goldie expresses that he has no care for Blossom's "stupid story." Goldie also comments that Blossom's memory seems to be working perfectly, which then sets Blossom off and she becomes angered, which then causes her to explain why she's doing what she is doing. Goldie realises that he is being harsh and moves himself out of the situation. He takes a moment in the car by himself, then invites Blossom into his car to return to his apartment and continue figuring things out the next day.

Within this time, there is a bit of an awkward tension between the two up until they enter Goldie's apartment. Goldie welcomes Blossom into his apartment and tells her to make herself at home. Nothing much happens during the night between Blossom and Goldie since Goldie had gone to bed right after entering the apartment. After Goldie wakes up, he briefly forgets Blossom and begins talking to himself without realising, which catches the attention of Blossom and causing Goldie to remember that Blossom is in his apartment. Blossom begins to tell Goldie about how she remembers a place called KCI, which rings a bell to Goldie but he believes that it would be best for them to ask administration rather than trusting Goldie's poor memory of the acronym.

Prior to when Goldie and Blossom go to administration, they run into one of Goldie's neighbours, 3-Ball. Goldie and 3-Ball have a small argument about Goldie doing stretches in the hall, and Goldie relies on Blossom being a real flower to support his argument with 3-Ball. After the argument, Goldie expresses to Blossom how much he hates 3-Ball. Blossom attempts to defend 3-Ball by explaining that he may just be looking out Goldie, but Goldie becomes annoyed by this and continues complaining about him. Blossom wonders why 3-Ball is getting to his apartment in the morning, and Goldie explains that he is a night-shift cop. Blossom then becomes irritated at Goldie because Goldie doesn't take into account that 3-Ball's job is to boss people around. Goldie was going to argue, but he doesn't because he agrees that he needs to work on his own attitude. He then continues on and states that they should go to the administration office. Blossom realises that Goldie isn't ok and states that something is bothering him. Later on while talking to Poppy, Goldie states that Blossom is his friend and that they need help figuring out what KCI means. After a while, they eventually figure out what KCI means and they go on their way to KCI.
