Finally, Penny, William, Brain and Marina arrived at Grace's house, which was a nice house in a neighborhood on the west side of town.
"Okay children," said Grace "Welcome to your new home."
Brain and the kids got out of the car and were amazed at their brand new home.
"Wowsers" said Penny "Look at this place. This is huge."
"I can't wait to get inside" said William "Come on ladies."
William, Brain and the girls walked into the house. It was lovely and much bigger than the house that they used to live in.
"Oh yeah baby" said William "Daddy's home."
"So, Ms. Grace" Marina asked Grace "Where exactly do we sleep?"
"Well we don't have a lot of bedrooms in this house" Grace explained "So, William will be moving into the attic and you girls can live in the guest bedroom."
"I'll go upstairs to the attic and unpack" William ran upstairs "Why don't you ladies get settled in?"
"Sure William" said Penny.
"No problem Billy" Marina added.
"Come on Brain" Penny told her dog "Come with mommy and Aunt Marina to our new room."
"Ruff!" Brain followed them.
Marina and Penny got into their new room, where there was a TV on a dresser, a set of bunk beds, a big closet, a desk and a mantle.
"Come on Penny!" Marina said "Let's unpack!"
Penny and Marina started to unpack their things and they decided to rest in their new bunk beds after a long drive.
"Boy Pen" said Marina "Isn't this a great place? We're living in a fancy house! This is much better than our old room in that foster home."f
"I can't wait to meet our new baby bro" said Penny "I wonder when he is coming home."
"Kids!" Grace called out "Come downstairs and meet your new little brother!"
"Oh boy!" said Marina "Come on Penny! Let's go meet our little brother!"
Penny, Marina and William ran downstairs and there was a little boy with a brown mop top and freckles.
"Penny, Marina, William meet Arthur, your new foster brother!" said Grace.
"Aww," Penny and Marina beamed at him "So cute."
"Yeah" William rolled his eyes "Adorable."
"I just could eat you up" Penny hugged Arthur "So such a cutie pie."
"Now why don't you four get acquainted while I get dinner ready?" asked Grace.
"No problem Ms. Grace" said Penny.
"So, you're my new brother and sister's right?" Arthur asked William and the girls.
"Yes, we are" Marina smiled "Oh we are going to have so much fun together."
"So what do you want to do first little bro?" Penny asked him.
"Let's play on the playground!" Arthur cheered.
"Wow" said Penny "We have a playground? I'd love to play!"
"So would I" Marina added "You coming William?"
"I'd rather eat paste" William walked back to the attic to rest.
"But he's my new brother" said Arthur "He has to play with me."
"That's okay cutie pie" Marina rubbed noses with Arthur "We don't need that meanie weanie William to have fun."
"Yeah" said Penny "You can play with your new big sisters."
"Okay" Arthur smiled "Let's go play!"
Arthur and the girls ran into the backyard and started playing on the playground. There was a set of swings, a sandbox, a treehouse and a pool. They started playing and having fun. Penny and Marina bonded with their new baby brother. They played pirates, princes and princesses and even played with Arthur's race cars.
"We!" Arthur cheered as Penny pushed him on the swings "This is fun!"
"We never had this much fun with Penny's uncle" Marina smiled.
"I guess so," Penny said sadly "But I miss him. I wish he wasn't in jail, then we could still be with him."
"But don't you like having me as a brother, Penny?" Arthur made doe eyes at Penny.
"Of course I do honey" said Penny "It's just that I really miss my uncle and we are the last of our family heritage."
"I'm sorry" said Arthur "You can be part of our family now. I've never had anyone to keep me company."
Penny smiled and so did Marina. They may have lost Gadget, but now they had a mother and a brother to keep them company. Arthur hugged his new big sisters and they continued playing.
Inside the attic, William couldn't think because he heard all the fun Arthur was having with the girls. Brain wasn't too pleased either with all the attention the kid was getting.
"I'm the one who's supposed to cuddle and kiss Penny" he said to himself "No snot nosed
After supper, Penny and Marina went upstairs to get ready for bed.
"Good night William" Penny hugged her boyfriend "I love you."
"I love you too Penny" William kissed her on the lips and walked upstairs to his new bedroom.
"Mom!" Arthur called out to his mother "It's time to tuck me in."
"Sorry honey," said Grace "I'm busy."
Arthur whined "But-"
"Don't worry Arthur" Penny took his hand "We'll tuck you in."
Arthur ran into his bedroom and jumped right into bed. Penny and Marina tucked him into bed and kissed him goodnight.
"Good night Penny! Good night Marina!" said Arthur "You're the best big sisters ever!"
"Good night" Penny and Marina each blew him a kiss.
Inside Penny and Marina's new room, the girls had been discussing what they were going to do now.
"Where's Brain?" Marina asked Penny.
"Oh, he's sleeping with William tonight" Penny said.
"Marina, I was just wondering something" said Marina.
"What is it?" Penny asked.
"Maybe this is for the best" she said "Maybe we can just stay here. It's pretty great living here."
"I'll admit it is," said Penny "Ms. Grace and Arthur are wonderful, but it just doesn't seem the same without Uncle Gadget. I wish he could live here with us."
"Maybe we can get him out of jail and he can live here with us" said Marina "I have a gut feeling that he is innocent."
"Of course he is innocent" said Penny "That's why we are gonna start investigating what really happened."
"How?" asked Marina.
"We are going to go back to the old house and look for some clues on who could've framed Uncle Gadget" Penny explained "It's obvious that Dr. Claw is behind this, now we need to figure who impersonated my uncle."
"How do we do that Penny?" Marina asked her "The house is being sold."
"That's what you think" Penny opened up her bag and showed a key. "Didn't think I'd leave home without my spare key did you?"
"Awesome!" said Marina "So tomorrow, we go back to the house and investigate."
"Right you are" Penny said. "We go at the crack of dawn!"
"Got it" Marina said. "Night Penny"
"Sweet nightmares" Penny switched off the light.
