The group headed over to Bleeker St. to see the Johnsons, Quipster, Itey, and Swifty, who was there because, well, he was just always around, were very excited, and Tunes and Skittery were as excited as they could be, since they were still a little damp from the ice water.
Tunes stopped in front of an old building with large, ornately carved doors. "Well here we are!"
"Damn" Itey exclaimed "Bleekers further than I reckoned"
Quipster shot him a look, "Can you please keep song references out of this!"
Itey cowered in fear.
Tunes ignored them and knocked on the door. A tall, dark complexioned man with dark hair and a kind smile answered and grinned.
"Tunsie!" he picked up Tunes in a large bear hug, "How are ya? Hold on, don't answer, let me go get the Mrs."
He disappeared inside then shortly returned with a fair skinned woman, who was rather nicely, yet oddly, dressed. She smiled at the sight of the redheaded girl on her doorstep.
"Hello Tunes! Why this is quite a surprise." She gushed.
"Wow, how did you trick these people into liking you?" Quipster whispered.
"Hello Mrs. Johnson" Tunes smiled innocently,ignoring Quipsters evil remark, "These are my friends, Quipster, Itey, Swifty, and you already know Skittery."
The woman nodded, "Very nice to meet you, and nice to see you again Skittery...why are you wet?"
Her husband interuppted, "Well children, what can we do ya for?"
"Well, we were wondering if you could help us out with something." Tunes began. "You see, our Lodging House is becoming rather full, and we need a new place to stay, as do many other lodgers, and since you live in this big place all by yourself, we were wondering if we could make a new lodging house here?"
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson looked at each other and laughed.
"You got in trouble for having sex in the house again didn't you?" Mrs. Johnson asked, highly amused.
Quipster cracked up, "I think I'm gonna like them!"
Mr. Johnson stopped laughing and caught his breath, "Sure, you can open an lodging house here. We get bored in this big place all alone anyway, there just needs to be a few rules" he looked at the childrens upset faces, "Not to many! Just stuff about fights and etc, we're not gonna make you take a vow of celibacy or anything!"
Tunes and Skittery sighed in relief.
"You have to set everything up though, we sure as hell don't wanna do it." Mrs. Johnson said sternly.
"Sure, sure, let's go!" Quipster yelled excitedly, while heading up the stairs.
~~~~~Later~~~~~
"We're all done!" Tunes sighed breathlessly
"Yea, think there are enough bunks?" Quipster asked, staring at the large room that was filled with bunks.
"Yay! I don't have to sleep with Snitch anymore!" Itey cheered.
Everyone looked at him oddly, finally Quipster spoke up.
"Uh, Itey, you never really had to sleep with Snitch, you guys just kinda chose to."
Itey blinked,"...Oh yea..."
Tunes stopped in front of an old building with large, ornately carved doors. "Well here we are!"
"Damn" Itey exclaimed "Bleekers further than I reckoned"
