"Wow...Doc..." Susan panted as they reached her parents porch. "You're really...fast!"

"Thank you, my dear." Dr. C smirked as he seemed unaffected by the race. "All those years of running on ceilings and walls certainly helped."

They turned to see Link, B.O.B., and Insecto finally come up with them. They were panting hard and sweat was poring down their faces.

"Eww!" Link said as he wiped it off. "I like water, but I don't want it coming out of me!"

Susan chuckled and Dr. C fixed him with one of his smirks. B.O.B. laid down on the ground as he continued to pant. Insecto looked at Link and made a couple of growling sounds.

"Yeah, yeah." Link said. "I'm a little out of shape..."

They heard the door behind them open and a pair of feet shuffle out behind them.

"Can we help you?" Susan's mother asked.

"Mom! Daddy!" Susan said as she turned around and pulled them into a family hug.

"Oh, Susan!" Her mother said as she instantly held her daughter tighter. "What happened?! You're small again!"

"It doesn't matter, dear." Her father said happily. "Our Susie's back!"

They stood in each others embrace before her parents saw they weren't alone.

"Susan," Her mother said as she let go of her daughter. "Who are your friends?"

"Oh," Susan said clearly embarrassed that she had forgotten her friends. "You remember the other monsters, don't you?"

"Of course!" Susan's father chuckled. "Who could forget?"

"Well," Susan said as she walked up to Link. "this is The Missing Link."

"'Sup." Link said.

"Insecto." Susan gestured to him.

He just smiled and waved.

"B.O.B." Susan said as she took a place next to him.

"Mom! Dad!" B.O.B. exclaimed happily as he enveloped Susan's parents in a bone breaking embrace. Dr. C just rolled his eyes as he went up to the new group.

"B.O.B., these are Susan's parents." Dr. C said as he pulled the monster-turned-man off of the gasping couple. "Let them breath."

Dr. C turned to look at them apologetically before he extended his hand to them.

"Sorry about that." He said sheepishly. "He's quite the handful at times. I'm Dr. Cockroach."

Both parents shook his hand unbelievingly. The monsters were...humans! They were real people! They were...normal!

"H-How did this happen?" Susan's mother asked.

"It's all thanks to the doctor." Susan said as she put her hand on his shoulder. "If it wasn't for him, we'd all still be in that jail-hole."

"Thank you so much, Doc!" Susan's mother said as she embraced him. "You have no idea how much we've been missing our Susan."

Dr. C stiffened at the hug. He stood there awkwardly until she finally let go.

"I-It was nothing really." Dr. C said bashfully. "Anything t-to make my friends h-happy..."

"Nothing?" Susan's father exclaimed as he shook hands with him and rested his hand on Dr. C's shoulder. "We'll never be able to repay you!"

"Actually..." Susan cut in. "We do need a place to stay...we were hoping you could let us stay here."

"It would be our pleasure." Mrs. Murphy said. "But we don't have enough rooms for everyone. Two of you will need to share."

"Doc and I can share my room." Susan suggested before she could stop herself. Dr. C looked at her in shock with his mouth hanging slightly open.

"Or Link and Insecto can share." Mr. Murphy stepped in. "They seemed like good friends."

"What's wrong with Susan and Doc sharing a room?" B.O.B. asked. "They did last night."

"What!" Mr. Murphy shouted.

"How about you guys go pick out your rooms and put your stuff away?" Mrs. Murphy cut in. "Susan, you can show them the rooms."

"But honey-!" Mr. Murphy tried to argue before his wife started pulling him back into the house.

"Help me start dinner, dear." Mrs. Murphy said. "We have special guests over."

Susan turned back to her friends with a blush. She didn't say anything as she led them upstairs. She opened one room with marine colored walls and matching bed.

"Link, Insecto." Susan finally said. "You can share this room."

They walked in past Susan and she shut the door behind them. The room across from Link and Insecto's was designated to B.O.B. It had red walls and a white bed. That left Dr. C and Susan took make the short walk to what would be his room. It was right across from hers. It had white walls and a black and white checkered bed.

"This is yours." Susan said. "If you need anything, I'll be helping my parents in the kitchen."

"I'll be fine. I'll just hang out in here, but thank you, my dear." Dr. C said. "I appreciate it."

"I should be thanking you, Doc." Susan smiled at him.

"It really was nothing." Dr. C shrugged. "I just wanted you to be happy...and the others, too. Of course."

"Of course." Susan chuckled.

She looked around to see if anyone was looking. Satisfied no one was around, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek before she hurried off. Dr. C just stood there frozen. Even after she had rushed away, he just stood there. Finally, he brought his hand to where she kissed his cheek. He closed his new room's door and laid on his bed without removing his hand. He then smiled darkly as he closed his eyes.

"So, Susan..." Her father said once her mother left the room. "What's the deal with you and the Doc sharing a room?"

"I-It was nothing, Dad." Susan blushed. "I got locked out of my room, so he let me sleep with him."

"Nothing, hmm?" Her father mused. "So I would be incorrect to guess that you gave him the room right across from yours?"

"Dad!" Susan exclaimed.

"Get out, honey." Her mother's voice came out from behind. "Susan and I will handle this."

Mr. Murphy grudgingly walked out of the room. Mrs. Murphy winked at her daughter and Susan giggled.

"Thanks, Mom."

"So..." Her mother drawled out. "Dr. C is pretty cute now, don't you agree?"

"Mom!"
