A/N: Finally! Fatso knows who Jane really is! Thank you all who read this…but please review!

Dr. Harvey sat nervously in the kitchen, fidgeting constantly in his seat. Today was the third day, and he either had to kick Jane out or introduce her to the trio. He hated both options but the first seemed to be the lesser of two evils…

"Good morning!" Fatso sing-songed as he dramatically floated through the ceiling, doing a little spin and settling in his seat. He shot Dr. Harvey a grin that was quickly masked when his brothers came in moments after.

"What da hell is so good about it?" Stretch asked irritably, though he didn't really want an answer. Stinkie wasn't quite so annoyed with his brother's antics and just rolled his eyes.

"You wouldn't understand," Fatso concluded cryptically.

Before Stretch could retort, Kat walked through the doors, her face flushed pink and eyes slightly watery. Dr. Harvey was quick to assume something was wrong.

"Kat! Sweetie, why are you crying?"

A bit too late did he notice the twinkle of mirth in her eyes that hinted laughter, and he realized they were not tears of sadness. "It's nothing *cough* dad." Kat ducked her head in order to hide the ear splitting grin on her face.

Fatso shot her a look, but she felt as if nothing could ruin her good mood.

Kat had gone up to Jane's room, wondering if she felt like joining them for breakfast this morning. James had told her about his and the Trio's deal, and decided they needed to come to a decision together. A talk over breakfast seemed the best time. Usually Jane was up by then, so Kat politely knocked before entering. What she saw next had her screeching to a stop.

Jane still laid in bed, well, technically halfway in bed. She was on her stomach, her torso flat against the floor and lacy-thong-clad derrière raised proudly in the air. She had snorted loudly and unexpectedly, making Kat jump. Jane then wrinkled her nose, eyebrows coming together with obvious discomfort. Kat briefly thought she would have also been uncomfortable with her own face smashed into the carpet floor like that. It was such a ridiculous position she had always imagined it only happened in movies.

Kat hadn't realize she was laughing until Jane jumped awake, landing with a resounding thump the rest of the way off the bed.

That had only made it worse.

Kat wasn't going to tell her dad what had happened though, Jane had made her promise. To retaliate, Kat had assured her only if she came down to breakfast. It was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

Biting back another giggle Kat walked over to her normal seat and listened as her father laid out the plan.

"Now fellas, I really need you to cooperate right now." His eyes shifted over to Stretch who gave a snort and glanced the other way. "I need you all to go invisible. You don't have to leave the room but please stay hidden. I'll cue you in if we decide she stays."

Fatso's face lit up with a grin as he began to bounce in his seat. Jane staying? That was a dream come true! Stinkie whacked him in the back of the head to keep him still, all of them going invisible.

There was a knock at the kitchen door, and the trio unnecessarily held their breath.

"Come in!" Kat called as she dug into her breakfast Casper began handing out. The trio was forced to ignore their plates.

The door creaked open a bit, and after a bit of hesitation, the guest timidly stepped in.

Jane was embarrassed. No, wait, that was an understatement. Jane wanted to crawl under a rock and live out the rest of days eating termites. She had never been caught of guard like that! Well, maybe with him but…

Jane smacked her cheeks and scolded herself for drifting off into the past. That relationship would have never worked anyway, nobody would have allowed it.

Sighing deeply Jane stood and observed her state of dress. It was times like these when she really loved playing the pity card. If she went down there in just a night shirt and pair of shorts there would be two outcomes. Both would start out with her asking to stay and offering to pay rent.

Situation 1: They agree to let her rent a room and stay until she figures out another safe house to migrate to.

Situation 2: They say no, but soften up a bit with her utterly crushed look. Have time to think things out while she gets dressed to leave and change their mind at the last minute.

The last option seemed a bit over confident, even to her. But she'd pulled off tougher things than this in the past, and it wouldn't hurt to try.

Before she knew it, shorts were slipped on and she was already standing in front of the kitchen door. Her hand paused in mid-air when voices began drifting out from the other side. "…need you to cooperate…" That was Dr. Harvey's voice! Pushing her ear to the door, she continued to listen. "…don't leave the room…stay hidden…"

Swallowing, Jane forced her swimming head and pounding heart to calm. What in the world was James planning? Certainly he hadn't called the media! The sound of her own knock startled her, taking a deep breath after hearing Kat's call to come in.

Jane slowly opened the door, taking a moment to physically prepare incase the need to choose between fight or flight arised.

Peeking around Jane breathed a sigh of relief when only James, Kat, and Casper were seen. But then again, there were still people hidden…Masking her anxiety, Jane straightened and walked calmly to a seat.

As soon as she sat, Jane felt as if she was in a pocket of cold air. Before her mask could slip, the cold disappeared. James licked his lips nervously and Kat choked a bit on her pancakes.

"So," James finally said. "I think it's time we discuss the matter of your staying here."

Jane let a genuine smile slip in. James was very straightforward, a bit refreshing from all the other people beating around the bush until the last minute. Before he could continue, Jane held up a hand.

"If it is no trouble, I would actually like to stay longer."

There was a sudden clapping, almost like applause, and then Casper dropped a few dishes. Then there was a smacking sound and Casper, who had been on the floor cleaning, shot up and banged his head on the table.

Rubbing his bulbous head, Casper nervously chuckled. "Heh heh, sorry. A little clumsy today."

A few awkward moment passed before Jane turned back to Dr. Harvey. "If you would allow it, I can pay rent for a room. Is $1500 dollars a month acceptable?"

James went slack jawed and Kat paused her eating.

Jane's eyes shifted between them, biting the inside of her cheek.

"More?"

Dr. Harvey finally cleared his throat, adjusting the buttons on his dress shirt.

"A-Actually, I hadn't even thought of rent. It never really crossed my mind when I thought about you staying."

He gave a sheepish smile, and it was Jane's turn to be shocked. Was this a dream? Were there really people this kind in the world? People without black curly hair, or a charming smirk, or…

"But, if you insist on paying then I assure you $1500 is too much."

Jane blinked, silently scolding herself once again for thinking about him at a time like this.

"Then at least $1000. I will settle for no less." Jane held out a hand, watching as James hesitated.

"Jane, before we seal the deal, I think you better meet the other residents of this house…the other ghosts."

Fatso practically bit his lip off in anticipation when the door started to open. And then she stepped in, an angel in a long-sleeved, striped shirt and short-shorts. Looking towards his brothers Fatso noted excitedly that they were in complete shock.

His grin rivaled that of the Cheshire Cat's.

He knew what she was doing, had seen a billion times over and over again but nothing compared to real live action.

The gentle sway of her hips and bare slender legs was almost too much for him. He knew Dr. Harvey was too good a man to fall for the seduction act, so it was obvious she was playing the pity card.

The brothers moved over a few seats to get a better look.

Jane walking over to them also excited, though is excitement was short lived when she sat right in Stretch's lap. Stretch grinned, obviously enjoying how she squirmed a bit in discomfort because of his cold body.

Angrier than ever (and jealous, though he would never admit), Fatso grabbed his older brother, throwing him to the other side of the room and away from Jane.

Stretch floated back towards them ready to unleash hell on his younger brother. But even though they were invisible to living people, the trio was still able to see each other, and one look at Fatso's face made Stretch briefly forget that he was going to pound his brother's face in.

Sure, Fatso had been angry from time to time, but never had that anger been directed at him with such intensity. So after giving him a sneer, Stretch decided to just let it go.

The conversation had begun, and Jane declared that she wanted to stay longer.

Fatso couldn't help himself and began clapping. This startled everyone and Casper tried to divert the guest's attention by dropping some dishes. Stretch smacked Fatso upside the head, which ended with Casper yet again covering for them.

Stinkie briefly wondered why Casper even bothered. Since she decided to stay, they were going to be introduced sooner or later.

After offering a ridiculous amount of money for rent, Jane finally held out her hand to finish the deal.

"Jane, before we seal the deal, I think you better meet the other residents of this house…the other ghosts."

That was their cue.
