After Toby's visit, Luna explained to Reese that Toby was, for the most part, safe to be around. However she still stressed that Reese not say anything to their parents or anyone at school. Luna felt terrible, putting this much responsibility on an 7 year old, but he seemed to take this task without much struggle.

With a small sigh, they both trudged up the stairs, to their rooms. Pausing, Luna turned to face Reese, and kelt down to his level.

"Look Reese, I think it's okay for you to sleep in your own room tonight. But if you get even the tiniest bit scared, you can come to me whenever, alright?", Luna told him, her hand on his shoulder reassuringly.

"Don't worry, sis, I'll be brave, just like you!", Reese proclaimed, causing Luna's heart to leap with pride. She nodded and gave a smile. After yawning a quick "good night", she shuffled to her room, and changed into pajamas. Luna slipped under the covers and reached out to switch her lamp off, engulfing the room in jet black darkness.

The next morning, the glaring sunlight roused Luna from her slumber. She groggily sat up and let out inhuman groaning noises as her back and neck popped and cracked into place. Rubbing her eyes, Luna noted the feeling of being watched, and gradually turned her head to the side.

There stood Toby, eyes wide behind his goggles as he stared at her with a deer in headlights expression. Luna blinked slowly as she looked him up and down, still half-asleep.

"Wha're ya fuckin do-", she paused to yawn, "doin, man?", Luna slurred annoyedly.

Relaxing, Toby responded, "W-Well, Master told me t-to watch you and observe you and junk, so I'm just d-doing everything a proxy usually does so He doesn't suspect anything!"

With a small nod, Luna hoisted herself out of bed. She stretched out her arms and popped her knuckles, giving a small wince. Out of habit, Toby cracked his fingers as well and leaned against the wall.

"Hey, my parents aren't awake yet are they?", Luna queried, slowly regaining full awareness.

"Your Mom is p-passed out in her bed and your d-dad went to go to the Wal-Mart in town. Reese is downstairs watching c-cartoons.", Toby stated curtly.

"Well, someone's doing good at their job I see", Luna remarked sardonically, as she put her thick hair into a pony-tail. She exited her room, gesturing for Toby to follow her. Trudging downstairs, Luna walked past the living room, where Reese sat, watching cartoons intently.

"Morning sis. Hey Toby." the boy greeted, not looking away from the television. Neither of the siblings were worried about waking their mother, as she could and would sleep through almost anything, especially after working the night shift.

"H-Heya kid.", Toby replied as he sat down at the kitchen table. Luna mumbled a response at him in her normal morning time attitude.

She loped into the kitchen and began to rummage through the pantry, calling out, "Do you two want me to make breakfast?", resulting in noises of approval from the boys.

With a small smirk, Luna opened up the fridge and pulled out the frozen waffles. "Hey Toby, I've always wondered, is it true what all the fanfictions say about you being a nut for waffles?" Luna inquired curiously.

Toby slumped back in his chair and groaned in annoyance. "W-Why? How did th-that even become a thing?", Toby snorted and a look of recollection flashed in his eyes, "I-I remember one time, Master s-sent me to this one idiot's house, apparently h-he'd been trying to summon a bunch of us o-over and over again. I bust down th-this dude's door and he sh-shouts 'Hiya Toby! Don't worry you don't have to hurt me I have a plate of waffles in the kitchen!'. H-Heh, you shoulda seen the guys face when I-I got to d-decapitating him, hehahah!", toby laughed casually after recounting his tale.

Noticing the lack of laughter, Toby shifted his gaze back to Luna to find that she was glaring at him angrily, gesturing to Reese and mouthing 'NOT AROUND MY BROTHER YOU IDIOT'

Sputtering, Toby swiftly corrected, "aaaND BY DECAPITATE I MEAN HUG SUPER D-DUPER HARD!"

Luna slapped a hand to her face and audibly sighed. 'How 'bout I just bake some muffins instead?', she thought.

After breakfast, Reese went back up to his room to play some video games. Luna saw this as a good opportunity to learn more about Toby. Sitting at the kitchen table, Luna asked,"Hey Toby, what's it like, being a creepypasta?"

Toby mulled over it a bit before responding, "W-Well, we all have some form of bloodlust that occasionally n-needs to be sated. Usually with murder. Guys l-like E.J and Seedeater eat people or their o-organs, and poltergeists like Sally and Ben like to f-fuck with people emotionally and m-mentally, feeding off of fear. Proxies like me, Masky and Hoodie are mostly j-just fucked up humans taken in by Slender or his b-brothers and forced slash c-coerced to do their bidding."

She nodded, frowning slightly before imploring further, "What are the creepypastas like? I have a feeling they aren't exactly like how the fandom portrays them."

"In b-blunt terms, they're blood thirsty murderers and f-freaks that ruthlessly hunt d-down and execute their prey. As far a-as personalities, though? W-Well, I only really talk to a handful of th-them at the mansion, but Jeff is k-kind of douchebag that keeps the whole mansion up at n-night torturing people, and he can be really immature and angsty and sh-shit. He's not all bad though, we play v-video games and talk and joke around and stuff, so we're f-friends. Ben still l-looks and acts like a thirteen year old kid, like wh-when he died way back when. He always p-pulls pranks and stuff, but when he does g-get serious, well, it's pretty scary. L-Laughing Jack is an egotistical maniac, not g-gonna lie. I don't know much about him, other than that he's an a-asshole. We d-don't really get along well. Uhh, Splendorman isn't really a c-creepypasta, but he sticks around often and h-he's a really nice dude. But if someone is d-doing bad shit to kids, he goes off."

Toby shuddered at an old memory, before continuing," Masky and Hoodie m-mostly stick to each others company. Honestly, I-I feel really bad for them with all the st-stuff that's happening with their alter egos and their Slender v-vloggers. Also, I think they might be a thing?", he shrugged,"And, heh, speaking of being a th-thing, me and Clockwork have been pretty tight these p-past few years. She's really smart and always n-notices little details. She's really creative, especially w-with her kills, and she's extremely p-patient and an awesome listener..." Toby paused to glance at Luna. A wickedly smug grin split across her face.

Toby rolled his eyes and jokingly said,"Oh sh-shut it." Luna giggled and leaned back in her chair, relaxed. Toby popped his knuckles idly. They hung out a little while longer, until Luna heard her mother beginning to wake up. Franticly, Luna shooed at Toby, opening up a window and nearly pushing him out of it.

With her luck, her mom hadn't heard or seen a thing in her dazed and disoriented state, and Toby headed off into the direction of the woods, waving a good-bye.
