Chapter 12- something enters Susan and Lucy's house

Rafael, Eva, and the other two younger adult toucans, one of which was Marco, one of Rafael and Eva's sons, and the female his mate named Anastasia, a toco toucan like her father-in-law continued standing in utter bewilderment at the cluster of messed up colourful feathered forms before them while the cloud of toucan chicks surrounded them, mischievous eyes fixated on the macaws and cockatoos they had just attacked. Jupiter and his group were in a right state. Mercury and Sapphire's navy blue feathers were messy and out of place, and Sapphire's hair-like feathers were all over the place, Venus, Mars and Chiquitita were covered from head to their chests in gooey blue acai berry juice, while Zephyr looked as though he had been dragged through a briar patch or rosebush, his lush blue feathers all bedraggled and a mess, and half of his crest feathers were missing, Jupiter looked exhausted as though he had flown a mile without stopping for a rest, and his vermillion feathers looked a bit messy too, and he was breathing heavily, Ruby also looked an absolute mess and her head feathers, which was usually kept neat and tidy by being tied up into a short ponytail by a piece of vine, were all over the place as her vine had been ripped out during the skirmish with one of the toucan chicks, Saturn's plumage was also tattered and he, too was out of breath, while Orquidea, Esmeralda, Uranus, Neptune and Ultramarine were also exhausted, breathing heavily with tattered plumages, and Uranus's face was covered in acai berry juice. Pluto and Lapis Lazuli were wincing from slight stinging pains that emanated from the spots where the seeds fired by some of the toucan chicks through hollow twigs had struck them, Ceres was covered in mango juice, Cobalto looked dazed and Travis and Sunset also looked extremely out of puff and worn out. All the chicks including Eustace, Milo and Rosa were swamped with fright and shock from the assault from the toucan kids, and they all hid behind their angry parents, small heads timidly peering out and gazing at Rafael, Eva, Anastasia, Marco and their chicks fearfully, but one scarlet macaw chick was particularly upset. When the group including Rafael and his group heard the sounds of a female scarlet macaw chick sobbing, Ruby looked down and saw Io on a lower branch with pieces of a manmade object scattered everywhere before her like a smashed fruit. At this, she opened her wings and descended towards her, leaving the others to deal with the toucans. At first, there was silence hanging over the macaws, the cockatoos and the toucans, but then Rafael broke through it.

"I er… am really sorry about this, you lot," he said but the furious look never left Jupiter's face.

"You've got some serious parenting issues, Big Nose," snarled the scarlet macaw angrily. Rafael flinched at the harshness in Jupiter's voice while some of the toucan chicks hid behind Eva, Marco and Anastasia.

"Whoa, don't become hostile," said Rafael timidly, trying to quench the lightning in Jupiter's eyes, "We were only taking our chicks, Twenty-two of which are my and Eva's grandkids and my son Marco's offspring, for a big family outing but…"

When the macaws and cockatoos heard how many chicks Marco and Anastasia had had, shock pierced through their anger.

"How MANY!?" shouted Travis incredulously, his yellow and rather tattered crest fully raised. Marco then gestured to the Twenty-two chicks hiding behind him and Anastasia.

"These are our sons and daughters and Mom and Dad's grandkids," he explained. Marco and Anastasia's chicks looked no different from their father, grandfather, grandmother or aunts and uncles. Like Marco, all the chicks had red-tinted cream bellies, either orange beaks with black tips like their father, mother and grandfather or lime green beaks with magenta tips like their grandmother, and some of the females appeared to have inherited Eva's magenta eyeshadow-like markings above their eyes. However, none of the macaws or cockatoos were interested in receiving an introduction from Marco's offspring and Rafael and Eva's grandkids, and something told the macaws that these kids' behaviour was as no different from their appearance to their father, aunts and uncles.

"When have you four applied discipline to your rambunctious offspring, Rafael and Eva?" asked Jupiter sternly once he had got his breath back, "Based on their assault on us, it seems that they are no different from when Marco and his siblings were younger."

"This is the second time we have been attacked by a bunch of naughty toucan chicks," added Zephyr angrily. Behind him and Venus, Justin, Charlotte, Matilda and Virgil timidly peered around their parents' backs. Saturn shot them a glare and then back at the toucans.

"You seriously need to get your act together and discipline those hoodlum kids of yours," he growled; his dark aqua blue and yellow feathers raised, "Because if you don't, the neighbourhood is going to end up with a gang of naughty toucans prowling around causing trouble."

"Not to mention bully younger chicks," added Orquidea, a glance at Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan and Iapetus as they, like Zephyr and Venus's four, timidly peered from behind their parents' backs, "Our chicks here have been seriously frightened by your offspring's assault on us."

As she said this, Ruby returned to the group with the sobbing Io in her talons. Io was holding her destroyed Ipod, crying her eyes out. Rafael and Eva looked on dumbfounded while Marco and Anastasia kept a nonchalant look.

"Hey, come on now," protested Marco, gesturing to his Twenty-two kids, "Our kids are not that bad. Kids will be kids. They sometimes like a bit of mischief every now and then and sometimes they do take it a little too far but they are not hoodlums. They were only playing."

"Playing!?" spat Mercury in disgust, "They were being ABSOLUTELY naughty! Someone could have seriously got hurt here…"

"Yeah, especially our chicks," added Sapphire, gesturing to Phoebe, Jasmine and Annette, especially Phoebe who was still weeping after one of the toucan chicks had pulled on her head feathers, "One of the toucan chicks was pulling on Phoebe's feathers!"

"And that's not playing," added Sapphire, "That's bullying!"

Rafael and Eva stood back with their new sixteen chicks, watching the argument about to unfold between Marco and Anastasia and the adult macaws, Travis and Sunset. Then an angry glare crossed Marco's face.

"Are you questioning our parenting skills, you two Lear's macaws!?" he growled at Mercury and Sapphire. His kids looked at him, timidly hoping that he would defend them and make excuses for their naughty behaviour. And to their luck, they got it. Marco then gestured to his Twenty-two kids once again and said, "This lot were only playing like I have said before. They weren't being naughty or anything. They like the occasional mischief every now and then but they are NOT hoodlums."

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Ceres, Pluto and Travis and their respective mates Mercury, Zephyr, Chiquitita, Ruby, Orquidea, Esmeralda, Ultramarine, Cobalto, Lapis Lazuli and Sunset could not believe their ears. Marco and Anastasia's kids were not hoodlums? But based on them bullying some of their chicks, pelting them with acai berries or seeds like peas, jumping up and down on them like trampolines and tearing feathers out of them and, in Io's case, snatch and destroy an Ipod certainly didn't seem like it at all. Then Anastasia stole a glance in a specific direction.

"We're off back home, anyway," she said, "We have a clutch of five eggs back home that are getting cold."

"Oh yeah, Anastasia my beautiful peach, thanks for reminding me," said Marco. He then turned to face the macaws and cockatoos once again, a sour look bitterly glowing on his face. "As for you lot," he growled, "If I ever hear you call our kids hoodlums again, I will be very, very angry. Come on, kids."

And with that, the son of Rafael and Eva left, his Twenty-two kids in tow. Some of the kids cheekily looked back at the macaws and stuck their tongues out at them before leaving after their parents. Rafael and Eva, with their sixteen new additions, only watched in bewilderment as Marco's massive family left. Mars fluttered in, using a leaf to wipe his face of any remains of acai berry juice and flesh while shooting the leaving toucan family a bitter glare.

"We certainly did not get off on the right talon, did we?" he growled. Uranus then shot Rafael and Eva a glare. His look frightened the chicks, Rafael and Eva's sixteen new additions and Marco's new siblings, into hiding behind their parents.

"Don't tell me any of your now young-adult offspring have been breeding like rabbits as well, have they?" growled the male great green macaw. Esmeralda tended to Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon and shot Rafael and Eva a glare of her own but said nothing. Rafael then proudly fluttered onto a branch with Eva and their sixteen chicks close behind, a proud smile marking his face.

"I and Eva," he said, a wing sluing around Eva's back, "Are the proud grandparents of many, many grand-chicks, Uranus."

This stopped the macaw and cockatoo group and made their heads face the toucan couple.

"Many, many grand-chicks?" repeated Chiquitita perplexed, but then it dawned upon her.

"How many of your grown-up offspring have been having chicks and how many for each one?" asked Ruby as she continued hugging the sobbing Io.

"Carlos is the father of ten with three more on the way," said Rafael, "Manoela is the mother of eleven with another coming. It's still an egg at the moment; Sofia is the proud mother of eight with four more still as eggs, Rita is the mother of nine with three more still as eggs, and Miguel is the proud father of ten with two more still as eggs. Two or three other of our grown-up kids also have about eight to twelve offspring with one two four more chicks on the way…"

Flabbergast struck the macaws and two cockatoos like a crack of thunder. In fact, the immense flabbergast was so great that some of the macaws including Venus had actually fainted and had to be supported by their friends.

"Your family should be in the Guinness Book of Records one of these days," said Neptune sarcastically as he cradled the fainted Sunset with Travis, "With the most toucans in one family."

"You and some of your kids honestly breed like rabbits," said Saturn, "And it seems that some of your grown-up offspring like to reproduce like mad just like you and Eva like doing."

Then Orquidea glared at the sixteen young additions to Rafael and Eva's kids, making them whimper and hide behind Eva. "Hey, stop glaring at my kids like that," muttered Rafael, "You know they sense fear."

Orquidea, however, was too cross to even care. "And I'd hate to think of any of them with that same desire to breed like mad when they grow up and find mates of their own as well!"

"Hey!" snapped Eva sourly, "If these sixteen want to find mates when they grow up, that's their choice, not yours!"

Then Rafael interrupted and said, "Hey, come on now. Let's not argue about having kids, shall we? Let's talk about something else."

Jupiter, at this, gazed at the still frightened and upset macaw chicks and Eustace, Milo and Rosa before looking back at the toucan couple. "I'm afraid we're off, Raf…"

"Ai, ai, ai, ai," said Rafael, flying around with a wing over Jupiter's shoulder, "You can't just come and see us and then leave like that. You have a lot to tell us. Why don't you stay for a bit longer?"

Jupiter, at this, shot the sixteen kids a glare. The sixteen toucan kids cowered behind Eva.

"Alright," replied Jupiter reluctantly, "But only if those sixteen kids of yours don't misbehave!"

"Then it's settled!" said Rafael ecstatically. He then gazed at the other macaws.

"Come on, you lot, let's talk about your adventures in the Amazon and what you've been doing," he said, "I can't wait to hear about your adventures."

The other macaws and cockatoos let loose a defeated sigh each and reluctantly prepared to perch around Rafael. As they did that, Chiquitita who held Phobos, Deimos and Alexandre in her wings, said to Ultramarine, "You know something? We ought to tell Blu and Jewel about Rafael's son Marco and his mate Anastasia's twenty-two kids when we met them again, and let them know that they are NOT the sort of crowd their three offspring, Carla, Bia and Tiago should get involved with."

"When we return home after chatting with that… patriarch of the massive toucan clan he's got," said Ultramarine slightly scornfully and sarcastically, a sour glare at Rafael, "We're gonna say the same thing to our kids as well."

Chiquitita nodded in agreement. Then the macaw and cockatoo group prepared to discuss their adventures in the Amazon with Rafael and Eva.

Meanwhile

Back in Susan and Lucy's house, Veggie and Dash's families were up to their usual activities. Ginger and Catina had gone out for a walk to have a personal female pet talk, such as Catina's idea of having another litter of kittens, so Dash and Veggie were left to take care of Broccoli, Thomas, Collette and Daisy the grown-up cats, Danny, James, Avellana, Esperanza and Eduarda the puppies and Carla, Bia and Tiago for Blu and Jewel were still out. Tiago was having a game of chess with Danny, Carla was listening to her Ipod while looking after Justin's Ipod, and Bia was reading a maths book. Avellana had her nose in an ecology book, and Esperanza, James, Eduarda, Collette, Broccoli, Thomas and Daisy were having a board game of cats versus dogs: the three greyhound puppies had one counter while the four cats had the other. While the twelve young animals were up to these activities, Dash and Veggie were talking, Veggie with an uncertain look on his face. They were discussing about the same subject as Catina and Ginger will be discussing.

"You've been having that uncertain look for a while now, Veggie," said Dash.

"I know," said Veggie, "I'm thinking about whether to go ahead with having another litter of kittens as our grown-up first litter will be going to other owners anytime soon, which is already beginning to happen. Susan and Lucy had received a call this morning from a customer interested in purchasing one of our two daughters, Collette or Daisy, for breeding purposes."

Dash looked up at Daisy and Collette, the two caliby daughters of Veggie and Catina as they played alongside their brothers against three of Danny's siblings and saw that their days were now numbered. "But because we have bird visitors here," Veggie's voice said, snapping Dash into gazing back at him, "We're not sure of what our second litter of kittens would be like with birds. We might consider limiting our feathered friends' visit if we do go ahead with having another litter of kittens. But if our owners want to sterilise us to prevent us from conceiving any more kittens, then fine but…"

"But what?" asked Dash. Veggie did not reply and just lay down on the floor, an uncertain sigh emitting from his mouth. Dash also sighed and sat down beside his tabby cat friend, before scanning the kitchen and living room, checking the activities of the young cats, dogs and three chicks. Then Tiago's cry of shock sounded, making Dash and Veggie gaze in his direction with smiles of amusement as they saw Danny, a grin on his face, take Tiago's queen piece. Danny's colour was white while Tiago's was black but Tiago had fewer pieces left on the board than Danny.

"Bad move, lil' T," said Danny smugly as he placed the queen into the box with the other taken out chess pieces, "I'm afraid you've lost your best piece."

Tiago sighed. "You're good at this game, dog," he said, "I've not get very many pieces left and my king piece is becoming more vulnerable every second…"

"Then you'll have to practice more to get better at this game, Tiago," said Danny with a smile. Tiago then smiled, determined to try and trap Danny's king piece, which was the aim of the game. He then carefully examined the positions of Danny's pieces to see where to make his next move, his next piece of choice being a bishop, which could only move diagonally. As he did that, Dash and Veggie came over to the pair. The group of animals continued their activities inside Susan and Lucy's house, but the peaceful atmosphere was about to be disturbed. Outside Susan and Lucy's home, another group of animals was approaching the house, heading for the front door and the cat/dog flap designed for the cats and dogs to leave into the garden and return as they pleased. As the group of animals approached this entrance, their shadows (some cat shaped and some bird shaped) creeping sinisterly along the concrete as their owners moved, evil laughs sounded from the group as they got closer to the front door and its cat/dog flap. Back in the house, Veggie and Dash watched Tiago and Danny as Tiago them moved his bishop to a spot of choice, being careful not to land it in a spot where Danny would take it out with one of his pieces. Danny then began to make his move. He began checking each piece and anticipating whether they would be taken out by Tiago's pieces or not, while at the same time planning to place Tiago's king piece into checkmate. Veggie smiled.

"Danny ought to open up a chess club if he keep that up," he said, "He's ever so good at it."

"Chess is a complicated game, I believe," said Dash, "There is a lot of planning, anticipating, and deduction involved. You have to watch your opponent and the placement of your pieces carefully. The last time I played with Danny, I lost my queen piece after carelessly placing it within range of one of his knight pieces."

As he said this, Bia and Avellana came around, having decided to take a break from reading their books.

"How are you doing, Tiago?" asked Bia with a wide smile on her beak. Tiago, a slightly amused and defeated glare on his face, showed Danny's upper hand over him.

"What do you think, sis?" he asked. Bia looked and saw what pieces Tiago had left.

"Two pawns, a bishop, the king piece, and two rooks?" she said, "You have lost a lot of pieces."

"I've just lost my queen piece," muttered Tiago much to the amused titters of those watching him. Then Bia began to examine the position of the pieces on the chessboard and, with her intelligence, began to quote the position of the pieces on the board consisting of a letter and a number. Veggie managed to stifle a laugh.

"Bia and her intelligence honestly," he snickered. Dash was about to reply when suddenly, something sounded from through the door to the hallway. It was the sound of flapping, like from a piece of plastic. However, the flapping sounds were accompanied by aggressive struggles and grumbles. At this, the group whipped round and faced the door to the hallway and listened.

"What's that?" asked Avellana alertly.

"Is that Catina and Ginger?" asked Broccoli, "Sounds like they are struggling with the cat/dog flap, especially Ginger since she is sometimes moody due to being pregnant with that second litter of pups."

Dash trotted toward the hallway door and pricked an ear against it to listen. He had hoped that Broccoli's guess was true but when he had listened closely to the sounds emanating from the front door, he realised that the sounds and voices were totally different from Ginger and Catina's voices. Furthermore, the sounds indicated the presence of more than two animals. Struck with dread, Dash quickly went over to the door's opening side and gently opened a crack in it to observe who was trying to force their way in. The others came up behind him. Carla, Bia and Tiago timidly followed.

"What can you see Mr Dash?" asked Carla timidly, her Ipod held close to her.

"Are Mrs Ginger and Mrs Catina back?" asked Bia. Tiago just said nothing but had the same hope written on his face. But nothing could prepare them, nor Eduarda, Avellana, Esperanza, James and Danny, and Broccoli, Collette, Daisy and Thomas, for Dash's next reaction and facial expression. The male light grey greyhound snapped his head back around as though he had been stung in the nose by a bee and shot the others a horrified glare.

"We've got intruders," he spat immediately, "Hide yourselves QUICK!"

The moment these words escaped his mouth, panic exploded within the young cats, dogs and three Spix macaw chicks and they scattered everywhere to look for somewhere to hide, screaming and howling in utter fright. Seeing the pandemonium spiral out of control and aware of the intruders lurking in the downstairs hall, Dash and Veggie tried to get the five panicking greyhound puppies, four adult kittens and three Spix macaws under control, but it was proving very difficult for their screeching had already attracted the intruders' attention…

Meanwhile

Back out in the jungle, Jupiter and his group were flying back to Susan and Lucy's house. None of the macaws looked very happy at all, and Jupiter particularly looked very grumpy. While Jupiter's group flew back in the direction of Susan and Lucy's house, two more Spix macaws were about to join them. Blu and Jewel were also heading back to Susan and Lucy's house after their mock foraging trip, to pick up Carla, Bia and Tiago and then head back to their birdhouse near Tulio and Linda's cottage. As the couple glided and flapped along, Jewel wore an impressed look on her face as she looked at Blu but at the same time, she also had a hint of sternness thrown in there.

"You have done well, Blu," she said, "You see, you know how to forage for fruit. This is what I want you to do from now on."

"But Jewel?" asked Blu, "What about the occasional human food treats?"

"None of Jupiter's group likes truly human food, Blu," said Jewel firmly, "And they are against their chicks eating it for fear that they might become ill. Remember Uranus's experience of eating a piece of pancake and its consequences that he told us about."

Blu sighed as Jupiter's description of the consequences Uranus faced after sampling a piece of a pancake repeated in his mind. Blu had been very surprised at how close Jupiter and his group's domestic lifestyle had been to a wild parrot or cockatoo when they lived in London, the UK, unlike his which had been rather human-like when he lived in Minnesota, the US. However, that lifestyle was becoming somewhat alien to Blu now, and he couldn't even believe that he had been flightless for the entire time. Pluto would have been like that too but he had learned to fly around two years after he had been purchased for Blake, Drake and Jake when he had been an adolescent chick, whereas Venus and Mercury already knew how to fly before they were captured and smuggled out of Rio to England. As for Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Ceres, and Mars, their origins including where they had been born were rather mysterious but they kept claiming that they had been born in the UK through breeding and aviculture centres and then sold to Susan and company as chicks. But based on their quick adaptation to the wild and their apparent sense of familiarity with trees and flying through them which was more pronounced in Ceres and Jupiter, Blu had begun to assume that those six macaws, like Pluto, Venus and Mercury, must have been captured and smuggled out of Brazil or some other place in South America as chicks as well, and that something drastic must have happened during the journey that erased any possible memories of their birthplaces. It was possible that the truth of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Cere's true origins would soon be found out.

As Blu and Jewel flew along, Blu registering Jewel's firm statement about feeding their chicks and those of Jupiter and company artificially prepared fruit and nuts (like tinned fruit and nuts) or other human food, he and Jewel looked up and saw a colourful flock of macaws and cockatoos emerge from a cluster of trees.

"Wow, Jupiter and company," said Jewel with a smile. She then began to catch up to them. "Hew, Jupiter, Travis, the rest of you! How did your meeting with Rafael and Eva go?"

Blu flapped his wings faster to keep up with his mate but since he was still inexperienced at flying, he was a bit slow. Jewel flew alongside Jupiter but when she saw the downcast look on his face and that on the faces of the other adults, her face fell. Jupiter grumpily eyed Jewel and Blu as they flew alongside him.

"Hi, Blu and Jewel," he said grumpily as through he was bothered by a small storm cloud constantly hovering over his head and throwing rain down on him. Saturn, Ruby and Orquidea, who flew alongside Jupiter with their chicks, Io who rode on Ruby's back, her eyes still flooded with tears as she looked over the remains of her smashed Ipod, and Europa, Ganymede and Callisto who flew alongside their mother, and Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan and Iapetus who flew around their parents, also had downcast looks also plastered on their faces, and that look was shared amongst the other families as well, including Travis and his mixed family.

"Has something happened?" asked Jewel. Blu didn't say anything but he was disturbed by the looks on his friends' faces. Jupiter then shot Jewel a grumpy look.

"Our talk with Rafael and Eva went well, thanks," he said, "But before we met them, we had a serious encounter and assault from a flock of toucan kids."

"And Rafael and Eva's new sixteen weren't the only ones to attack us," said Saturn, "The offspring of one of Rafael's sons Marco were also there."

"Yes," growled Ruby, "They jumped up and down on us like trampolines, tore feathers out of Zephyr's head, shot seeds or threw acai berries at us and our chicks, and one of them destroyed Io's Ipod!"

At this, Blu and Jewel looked at Io as she continued weeping over her destroyed Ipod. Then Venus said, "And you won't believe how many grandkids Rafael and Eva told us they had."

"What's that?" asked Jewel.

"Around eight of them including Marco have more than ten kids each," snapped Zephyr bitterly. Blu and Jewel flinched in utter shock.

"You can't be serious," said Blu with a frown, "By my calculations, that would come to… around eighty grandkids at least."

"Those toucans, not only do they seem to allow their kids to get up to over-the-top mischief," muttered Mercury, shooting a glance at Phoebe, Jasmine and Annette to make sure that they didn't wander off, "They seem to go mad with having more of them as well."

"And I must tell you this, Blu and Jewel," said Sapphire seriously. The couple looked at her.

"And what's that?" asked Blu.

"You must not allow Carla, Bia and Tiago to get involved with that lot, certainly not Marco's offspring," said Sapphire.

"Absolutely," said Pluto, "You remember what happened the last time they mixed with Rafael and Eva's first lot."

"Marco refused to believe how naughty his chicks are," said Mercury, still obviously disgusted at Marco and Anastasia's refusal to discipline their offspring or admit the sheer naughtiness of their chicks.

"They were on the verge of being bullies," added Mars, "I'd hate to think of when they grow up."

It was true. If Marco and Anastasia did not discipline their many offspring, it was likely that they would grow up to become troublesome toucans. And the likelihood of the offspring of some of Rafael and Eva's seven or eight other grown-up kids, such as Rita, Sofia and Manoela, being as naughty as their cousins and growing up into hoodlum toucans made Mars shudder like a leaf, though he knew that many of Rafael and Eva's kids had grown out of their troublemaking antics to become respectful adult toucans. Then Blu said, "Well, thanks for letting us know about the behaviour of Marco's chicks. We'll keep that in mind when we allow Carla, Bia and Tiago out to play with the other chicks in the coming weeks while we're here in Rio for the summer. Anyway, let's get back to Susan and Lucy's house. We've gotta pick them up."

Jupiter and company nodded and then the group continued flying through the jungle in the direction of Susan and Lucy's house. However, they were in for a nasty shock. As the house finally emerged into view, Jupiter and Ruby stopped into a dead hover. Behind them, Blu, Jewel, Saturn and Orquidea flew in.

"What is it, you two?" asked Saturn when he saw the horrified and dreaded looks on the scarlet macaws' faces but when he saw what they saw, a sharp breath entered his lungs and his face morphed into the same dreaded look. The other macaws and Travis and Sunset also flew in and hovered, shocked looks on their faces as well. The group's eyes were on the front door, specifically the cat/dog flap, but the flap looked badly damaged with the door torn from its hinges. That was definitely not Catina or Ginger's doing for they would never tear a flap from its hinges like that. Something has intruded into Susan and Lucy's house, something that wasn't good.
