Jeffy snuck down the stairs, making sure to be as quiet as possible. Luckily he didn't weigh that much, so the stairs didn't creak as much as they would with anyone else. He tip-toed through the downstairs living room and to the laundry room. He figured he could find both the pillow and the uniform there, which he was happy about since it meant less trips.

There was quite a bit of undone laundry pilled in baskets on the floor of the room, which Jeffy had to make his way through. He found one of those car neck pillows on a shelf and decided to take it. He dug through the dirty clothes to find Junior's second request, which he found fairly quickly. It had a little stain on it that looked like spaghetti sauce, but he didn't think Junior would care.

He stuffed the uniform in his diaper so that no one would see it, and snuck back up the stairs. He opened Junior's door and found a small Thomas the Train toy that was on his dresser. He then creeped back into his room and shut the door. He made sure no one was coming up the stairs before moving the box.

Junior wasn't as startled by Jeffy's appearance as before, since he was expecting him to come back. Though, not as soon as he actually did. Jeffy handed him the pillow and the train, then tossed up the uniform. "Thank you..." he whispered.

"No problem, I'll try to get you out of the house in the morning." Jeffy replied, giving the ginger boy a smile before pushing the box back in its place. He then grabbed his plate and started chowing down on his pizza.

Meanwhile, the adults were conversing with each other downstairs, Bowser being the one leading their discussion.

"Then I had to wear a patch over my eye for weeks, and the doctor bills were crazy! It's like they think I'm able to work while injured with how much they charged me." Bowser rambled.

"I mean, don't your eyes also work differently than most peoples? Maybe that's why they charged so much." Marvin asked.

"Not really, they're just red and look different. That hospital was just weird I guess." Bowser responded.

"Did you lose your vision?" Rose asked curiously.

"Surprisingly, I didn't. I guess I'm just tough and strong like that." Bowser boasted, flexing his slight muscles, which have definitely faded over the years. Rose didn't look very amused at the sight, nor did Marvin. "Anyways, did you guys get that camera set up?"

"Yep. Got it set up just before we ordered the pizza. I haven't checked the footage yet since we've been down here though. I'll do that now." Marvin replied, taking out his phone. He navigated to the security cameras app and looked at the recent alerts. "Looks like it got set off by someone. Though, that might have just been us."

"I'd check them just to be sure." Rose said. Marvin nodded and checked the first one, which was just a close up shot of Marvin setting him the camera while standing on a ladder, which was held by Rose. Bowser, who had been peeking at Marvin's phone, started to laugh at the angle. Marvin switched to the next recording, which was just him and Rose walking back to the living room.

"Is there any more?" Bowser questioned.

"There's a few more, actually." Marvin responded, tapping on the next one, which was Marvin running downstairs to answer the door, Rose following soon after. The one after that showed Jeffy going down the stairs, staring directly at the camera before walking forward. The adults then saw him going up, but with both his dinner and 2 snack bars.

"When did Jeffy get the chewy bars?" Rose questioned, as confused as the others.

"I don't know... I think that's the last of it for now though. The clips take a while to upload so we'll have to wait a while to see anything new unless we look at the live footage." Marvin replied.

"Well that sucks... Anyways, I'm gonna go watch more Charleyyy. Thanks for the pizza, Marvin." Bowser said, standing up and putting his plate in the sink before walking back to the downstairs living room.

"No problem." Marvin responded "Welp, you wanna hit the hay? I'm starting to feel pretty tired."

"Yeah, let's go." Rose answered.
