"Damnit, Shifty!" Mime shouted. Mole twitched his ear, put down the book he was reading, and looked back at Mime, or where his voice came from, anyway.

"Having troubles, love?" Mole asked. Mime sighed, and then noticed Emmet was behind him, holding the lizard he had earlier.

"Emmet, go and take…uh…Peter Parker to his friends, okay?" Mime whispered. Emmet nodded and went to the guest room.

"Alright, what did Shifty tell you THIS time?" Mole growled. Mime sighed. "Everything."

"Is this about sex?" Mole asked. Mime jumped back in disgust.

"NO!"

"Murder?"

"No…"

"…sex?"

"NO MOLE!" Mime shouted. "WELL…sort of. It's about Emmet." Mime finished. Mole seemed up for gossip. Mime was only up for a talk.

Meanwhile, Emmet found his lizard tank full of about 6 or 7 lizards. He smiled as he put Peter Parker with the rest of them.

"There you go, Peter Parker. Meet Peter Parker, Peter Parker, Peter Parker, Peter Parker, Peter Parker, Peter Pancake, and Peter Parker," he introduced. The lizard simply laid down in the heat.

Emmet heard Mime talking, then went to the room he and Mole were in. Emmet had no idea what they were talking about, but it had something to do with his "uncle" Shifty.

"Mister Mime?" he called. Mime glared at the young raccoon.

"Emmet, I told you to go to your room!" Mime growled. Emmet looked a bit sorry and frightened. Mime never really yelled or snapped at him, so he knew it was a bad time. He slumped to the guest room.

Mole sighed. "How are you gonna tell him? He'll find out sooner or later. Just a matter of time. Why not now?"

Mole was right. There was no way Lammy and Lifty were going to tell him. Shifty was too bad of a parent to even try, Mime was the only one he actually really trusted, since he babysat him most of the time. Mime was really the only one that would, could, and should tell him.

"…Sure…I-I'll tell him in a couple of days…Emmet should deserve a few last days of happiness." Mime muttered.

Mole shrugged as he went back to laying down, trying to read. Mime went back to Emmet's room. Seeing it was the last few days of how his life is, now, he'd thought he'd do something special.

"Emmet, get ready. We're going to that water park you wanted to go to."
