Jack woke up in the next morning as he would almost any other morning at the Toros base: Sprawled out on the floor. Oh well, it beat waking up in bed with Brad…But wait, where was the monster? Then he saw what had been nesting on his chest…
"Ahhhhhhhh~!" Brad however, woke up with a jolt.
"What-whe-wh-Where's the monster?!" Brad jumped to his feet, grabbing a nearby frying pan.
"I found food, Brad!!!" Jack cried as he chased a small, white furry creature.
"Squeak….SQUEAK~!" cried the rat as it darted across the kitchen. Jack leapt after it, attempting to catch it with his bare hands.
"I'll help you corner it!" Brad shouted as they chased the mouse to the corner of the room.
"Squeak, click, click…Squeak!" The rat begged. Jack picked it up.
"Frying pan." Brad handed the pan to Jack. Jack lifted the pan over his head and…
"Squeak…" The rat's eyes began to water. It looked at Jack with a merciful expression. Jack looked gently at the rat.
"Are ya gonna kill it or not?!" Brad hit Jack on the back.
"I…I can't do it, Brad. It's…too cute…" Jack muttered in the most sad, pathetic voice. Brad smacked his forehead and went to get something to eat.

"Brad, be careful! You're gonna step on Mrs. Clickers!" Brad turned around.
"What?"
"Mrs. Clickers!"
"Misses? How can you tell?" Brad held the rat up by its tail.
"Ya see, Right there, it doesn't have a—"
"I-I shouldn't have asked." Just then a squeak was heard from a distance. Brad and Jack looked around. Their eyes landed at a small hole in the wall behind the refrigerator. A male mouse was calling out. Mrs. Clickers smiled and ran into the hole, frantically squeaking and clicking.
"NNNNNNNOOOOOoooooooo~!" Jack began to sob on Brad's shoulder.
"S-she…was the only woman I ever truly loved…"
"It's ok, Jack…" Brad placed his arm on Jack's shoulder. Jack snarled, shoving Brad away.
"Just leave me alone!" Jack cried as he ran to the bathroom and locked the door.
2 hours later…
"Jack…are…you ok? You didn't fall in, did you?"
"Just…*sniff* leave me alone."
"C'mon, Jack. Mrs. Clickers is in a happier place now. You should be happy Mrs. Clickers found a place with her own kind…" Jack opened the door and walked out into the living room.
"r-really? D-do you think I can do that too?"
"Uh…I guess…."
"Alright then!" Jack wiped the tears from his face. "Mrs. Clickers gave me the courage to live on! I…think I may even love again…"
"I think you may too…"
"You…really think so…?"
"I do…"
"Oh, Brad…"
"Jack…"
"Okie, think we got 'er!" The locksmith pushed the door open.
"It's nice to finally be back home!" Bit stretched. "I wonder where Brad and Jack are…what the?!" The scene on the floor answered his question. Brad…and Jack…and "Feel good TV" playing on the TV behind them.
"B-brad?! Jack?!" Leena cried.
"Uh…yo!" Jack smiled nervously as he pushed Brad off of him.
