At the Lodge, the human male and the pack of wolves broke through the door! It happened so quickly the others had no clue on what had just happened till they could hear the doors break open.

"What was that?" asked Lia.

"It sounds like someone kicked through the door." Jianna answered.

"Eeek! It's the murderer coming to get us!" Belle said.

"Shh, Belle. Calm down." said Skellington.

"Um I'm gonna go check it out." Lia said.

"Right behind you." Skellington said.

"Same." Jianna said.

"Are you guys crazy?! That's what he wants. Ooh, wait for me." Belle said as she noticed the others had already left.

The four went into the main hall, hid behind some old crates that were left behind from the past owner, and what they saw was something they couldn't believe. They saw two wolves with a human male leading them.

"Oh my Controller. Those are wolves." Jianna said.

"Should we shoo them away?" Skellington asked.

"That is not a good idea." Lia said.

"Those wolves look like they could tear us to parts." Jianna added.

"We're dead!" 

"Shh! Calm down, and keep quiet. Let's just hope they don't pick up on our scent." Lia said.

The wolves looked around and found their suitcases which aided them in picking up the four's scents. Just then Skellington sneezed, and it got the wolves' attention, they thought they were gonna be eaten alive.

"We're so dead. We're so dead. We're so dead. We're so dead. We're so dead." Belle said.

Luckily, the human signaled the two wolves that they needed to leave and meet up with the rest of their pack. In just a few short moments, the stranger and the wolves left.

"Phew. That was way too close." Jianna said.

"Ugh, tell me about it." Lia said.

"I'm sorry. I almost turned us into dog food. Uh Belle?" Skellington said.

Belle looked petrified. She was shaking with the look of fear in her eyes.

"Belle!"

"We could've died," she then passed out.

"Belle?! Belle!"

"I think we all need a moment to recollect ourselves after that." Lia said.

"Right. Let's close the door." Jianna said.

"Belle? Belle!"

Back with Pixle and Chris, Pixle was really worried about her friends, although Chris wasn't as worried about them because he trusted them more than anything.

"Oh this is so bad. This is so bad. This is so bad!" Pixle yelled.

"Calm down, Pixle. I'm sure everyone will be fine." Chris said.

"No! What if Lia gets hurt?! I won't be there to help her. What if she explodes?! Not only that, but I purposely sent Jianna there so what if she gets hurt?!" she yelled.

"Pix', look at me. They are fine." Chris said.

"Argh, Chris, please think for a moment. How would you feel if you knew Skellington, your older brother, was in trouble?" she asked.

(Chris's imagination)

"Hmm, hmm hmm, adder. My name is Skellington and I'm a big stupid head. Now let's see what temperature I want to set the boiler to. Aah, explosion sounds great." Skellington said.

He pushes the button, and the Boiler explodes.

"Aah! The boiler exploded! I'm burning! Chris, baby brother, help me!"

"Hahahaha!"

(present time)

"Hahahahahahahahaha!"

Pixle punched Chris in the arm to snap him out of it.

"What?... Alright alright. As funny as I think that would be, I am kind of worried about him." he said.

"See. Chris, I need to get to the Lodge." she said.

"What do you want me to do about it?" he asked.

"Chris, help me, please." Pixle was doing puppy eyes at Chris as she begged.

"Argh, fine."

"Hehe, yay!"

"But only if you wear this jacket. I don't support you getting sick, because you didn't wear something warm!"

"Argh, fine. Deal, now let's pack, but uh, uh oh."

"What?"

"We're going to have to find a way there. I don't even know where to begin with that. And I can't fly us there because one, you are too heavy for me to carry and two, I'm still waiting for Afton to finish making my new mechanical arm." she said.

"Hmm. I think I have an idea. I'll make a few calls." he said.

"Thank you so much, Chris."

"Yeah, yeah whatever, by the way, I'm doing this for you and Lia! Not Skellington! Don't get the wrong idea!"

"Heh, whatever you say."

Back at the Lodge, Belle was still out cold. Skellington was worried sick about her. He just kept on trying to wake her up.

"How's Belle doing?" Jianna asked.

"I uh think she's fine? I've been poking her to see if she wakes up." Skellington answered.

"What's that gonna do?" Jianna asked.

"Wake her up. I don't know. Why you yelling at me?" he asked.

"I'm just... Sorry I'm just kind of shaken up after the whole wolf thing. Lia, are you sure the doors are locked?" Jianna asked.

"I uh I'll check again."

"Belle, Belle please wake up. Belle!" Skellington yelled.

"The doors are locked tight." Lia said as she tested the doors.

"Well that's good." Jianna said.

"Guys, I think she's coming too." Skellington said. They rushed over and Skellington was right. Belle was starting wake up.

"Ugh, what happened?" Belle asked.

"Wolves." Jianna answered.

"Aah! I forgot."

"Oh Belle don't worry, we're perfectly fine. The door's shut sound and we're safe." Skellington said.

"Is that true, Jianna?" Belle asked.

"Hey!"

"I'm sorry, Skellington, but Jianna seems to know what she's dealing with." Belle said.

"Eh Hem!"

"And you too, Lia. It's just well, Jianna you seem to know a lot about weird otherworldly stuff." Belle said.

"Well you're not wrong I do know a lot, and from what I know we're perfectly fine." Jianna said.

"Really?!"

"Really. I'm sure one of us just left the door open." Jianna answered.

"Wow, that's a relief to hear." Belle said.

"Yeah. Oh I was going to say, this is a huge fireplace. Maybe we should try to turn it on." Skellington said.

"I can help. Let's look for a switch." Belle said.

While Belle and Skellington looked around, Lia wanted to talk to Jianna in private.

"Jianna, are you sure about what you said?" Lia asked.

"No, I'm not." Jianna answered.

"Then what was that about?" Lia asked.

"Look, Lia, Belle seems to be the really jumpy type. I didn't want to scare her more than she needed to be. Besides, I'm not really sure what we're dealing with." she answered.

"What do you mean?" Lia asked.

"Think about it. Those wolves seemed a little more intelligent than your average wolf. They were way too coordinated. What's even more interesting is that there was a human with them." she said.

"Yeah, now that you mention it that was odd." Lia said.

"I think that we're dealing with a pack of werewolves." Jianna added.

"But werewolves don't act like that. Traveling in packs, that's something their ancestors did. Werewolves of today don't do that." Lia said.

"Yeah, but we don't know what we're dealing with here, Lia." Jianna said.

Just then, Skellington found a lever that turned on the fireplace.

"I did it!" he said.

"Yay!"

"All I'm saying is that we take extra precautions. Such as not going out alone or even boarding up the windows." Jianna said.

"I definitely agree." Lia said.

"All right guys, I think we should clean up this place." Belle said.

"Wow, talk about a mood change." Skellington said.

"Hehehe. Well this place isn't spooky with the lights on, plus Jianna just cleared my mind." Belle said.

"Hehehe, I'm glad, but let's at least make sure that broken windows are boarded and this place is locked tight. I want to make sure we're 100% safe." Jianna said.

"I agree. Oh how about the first night here, we have a sleepover right here in front of the fireplace. That way no one is lonely and scared of the dark." Belle said.

"I'm in. I love sleepovers." Skellington said.

"Sounds like a plan. Let's get to work." Jianna said.

They gathered some pieces of broken wood and crates, and boarded up all the broken windows best they could. They could still hear the howling of the wolves in the distance, Lia and Jianna both knew that this was just the beginning.

Back with Pixle and Chris, they went over to Chris's house and rang the doorbell.

"Chris, are you sure this is going to work?" Pixle asked.

"I told you I already talked to my mom. So it's fine." Chris answered.

"Chris? What happened? You look, pretty." said Skull Sans, Chris's dad.

"Mmm, Dad I'm over here!" Chris yelled.

"Huh, Chris? Why does Pixle have your jacket on?" he asked.

"Chris is acting like my mom, and making me wear it." Pixle answered.

"It's for your own good!" Chris said.

"Anyway, good to see you son. What brings you by?" Sans asked.

"Mom says she's going to let me borrow one of the cars." Chris answered.

"Oh really now. Mind if I ask what for?" Sans asked.

"We want to go up to the property you guys just bought." Chris answered.

"What?" That's where Skull Sans thought of what would happen. He believed that Chris would burn the place down thinking he would be too irresponsible to take care of things.

"Uh, Chris, why don't you do something a little bit more productive in your life? Skellington's got this all taken care of." said Skull Sans.

"Hey, Pixle." It was Michael. Michael was Pixle's security partner at Circus Baby's. He saved Pixle's life when the fire happened and also helped her when Pixle lost her arm.

"Hey Michael. What are you doing with the Bone's?" Pixle asked.

"Oh I'm just helping them pack up for their vacation out in my home world." Michael answered.

"Hey Mic, is my mom here?" Chris asked.

"I think so. I'll go check. Oh here she is." Michael said as Mrs. Bone walked through the door.

"Hello Mrs. Bone. Chris here said that you were going to let us use one of your cars."

"Of course I did." she answered.

"Dream, I told you he will destroy the place." whispered Skull Sans.(In this story Dream Sans is a girl. DON'T JUDGE ME!)

"And I told you he's a little birdy who needs to spread his wings. Alright, here are the keys. The car is over here in the garage."

Dream Sans took them to the car and told them the directions to get there.

Back at the Lodge, everyone was getting ready for bed by the fireplace.

"Oh this is going to be so much fun!" Belle said.

"You enjoy sleepovers?" Jianna asked.

"No, I've just never had one." she answered.

"Well maybe we'll have a better one when we get the internet." Jianna said.

"Internet! Oh I almost forgot!" Skellington yelled.

"Yeah we really need to get that on." Lia said.

Hooooooowl!!

"Eeek! Those wolves sound like they're getting closer. I got an idea, let's have cuddle buddies." Belle said.

"Cuddle buddies?"

"Yeah, that way no one is lonely, plus the wolves can't eat us both." Belle answered.

"Belle, you're fine." Jianna said.

"Aww, I'll be your cuddle buddy, Belle." Skellington said. Belle backed away, because she knows what Skellington is like when he sleeps.

A few minutes later...

"Lia, please let me be your cuddle buddy." Skellington said.

"No."

"But Jianna and Belle are doing it." he added.

"No."

"Is this because I snore when I sleep?" Skellington asked.

"Th-de Argh! I forgot about that!"
