Jeremy heard the familiar sounds of pixel manifestation and looked to see all five of his Squips were up and running.

"It worked." He whispered, feeling tears fill his eyes. They were okay.

"Jere? You're crying. You know you're crying right?" Michael asked and Jeremy wiped his eyes and nodded. "Okay so why are you crying?"

"It worked. They're okay. They're all alive..." Jeremy's smile was probably the widest he'd smiled when it came to the Squips. Had they been the same as two weeks ago, he probably wouldn't have cared as much, but now he couldn't help but love them. They were his family.

"So can we leave now? I planned on binge watching the last three seasons of Voltron with Dustin cause he doesn't have Netflix, and I'd like to do that." Nick asked and Jeremy nodded. "Yes. C'mon Dustin, you've got angst you need to watch with me!!" Nick grabbed Dustin's hand and dragged him out of the room.

"Guess that means I'm leaving too. NICK WAIT FOR ME!!"

"Okay Chrissy!!"

"Bye Jeremy." Christine walked over and kissed Jeremy, hugging him as well, and he turned blood red upon the contact and knew that the Squips were making him blush more than usual. "Love you."

"B-Bye Christine. I love you too." Jeremy waved and she skipped down the stairs to her cousin and Dustin.

"Well, I'm sure you wanna have private time with your five computers...I should probably be going anyways. Gotta help my moms tonight at dinner. Ma's brother is visiting and everything."

"You mean the one who h-helped your mom and dad divorce?"

"Mmhm. So I gotta go. Bye Jere, love you." Michael kissed Jeremy's forehead and Jeremy hugged him before waving goodbye.

"Love you too ya dork...and...thanks. I didn't think you'd help with the Squips."

"They're good now. It's okay. Bye."

"B-Bye." Michael closed the door and Jeremy turned to his five Squips and noticed how Eric had new clothing, as well as both Sal and Keira. "You guys changed clothes."

"You bet we did. I feel like ten times sassier in these pants. Look at how tight they are." Sal smirked and Keira pulled him into a noogie. "KEIRA NOT MY HAIR!!!" He whined and Jeremy laughed. He then looked over at Shane, Eric, and Winston, and noticed they were a lot closer than usual. Weird.

"Jeremy we can still read your mind, and it's not weird...it's called we're brothers. Well we might as well be." Winston looked at the two shorter Squips and they nodded in agreement.

"That's good...it's... it's great to see you're all back to the way you used to be. I missed it. And I doubt I'm getting sleep tonight now."

"Nope. In fact you're probably gonna stay up all night on Tumblr again." Shane smiled and Jeremy turned red and tried biting his lip not to laugh at how accurate that was.

"Yeah but let's hope he doesn't play with himself while looking at humanoid animal intercourse." Eric muttered and both Shane and Winston began laughing at the comment.

"Yes we get it I'm a furry." Jeremy rolled his eyes and the three laughed even harder. "What?"

"You realize you're still holding the dolphin plush right? You never let it go."   Winston pointed out and Jeremy felt his entire body heat up.

"Well. It's good to know you guys are enjoying yourselves...but how do we know your programmers won't sent more Quiccs after you?" Jeremy muttered and Winston pulled up a shared screen with both Eric and Shane and after a minute it closed.

"We just set up firewall protection using the code of the antiviruses against themselves. So basically we created two new AIs in your mind." Winston reassured the teen calmly, a smile on his face the whole time.

"I have more Squips!?" Jeremy yelled and Eric shook his head before pulling up a screen to draw on.

"They're like us, AIs that can blip in and out of your vision and head, but they can not control your mind. They also have personalities of their own, but again, aren't Squips. They're basically anti-Quiccs, or as Winston said, firewalls. They'll protect us from anything that could harm us. They even have predetermined names."

"Really?" Jeremy asked and Eric nodded, activating the physical forms of these firewalls.

Jeremy stared at them in shock as they appeared

The first was a female with darker skin than the rest of the Squips. Her hair was poofy and she was wearing a red jacket covered in sequins with no sleeves. She had on long black gloves, red boots, and a black crop top. Also black jeans.

The second was a male with black, slicked back hair. He was wearing a long, teal trench coat, and underneath was a white button up shirt, a bright teal bowtie matching his eyes around his neck.

"Jeremy, meet Joslyn and Jason. They'll be your new firewall protection."

"H-Hi." Jeremy mumbled and the two AIs walked over to him. "Umm...are they okay?"

"You're adorable. No wonder these five wanna keep you around." Joslyn squished Jeremy's cheeks and he sighed...they were like parents.

"Not to mention his hair is absolutely beautiful. I'm assuming those two are behind that." Jaosn pointed to the twins, who nodded in agreement.

"So you two are kinda like...guards of sorts to me?"

"Yep. We'll keep any bug or virus away from these five for ya. Free of charge, cause we're AI and can't really hold physical currency." Joslyn smirked and Jason agreed.

"Plus we were coded this way. Also sorry our original programming almost killed your Squips." Jason muttered and Jeremy smiled.

"It's okay. They're here now, and now I have you guys. Might as well accept I've got seven voices in my head. I mean, we all have those voices in us. Well you guys don't but...but humans do. And you guys are good voices to have in my head...in fact..these Squips are my family, and I love them...and now you guys are a part of this family."
