A/N: Thank you for the views, faves and follows so far! They might not me many but they do mean a lot to me :) After a while procrastinating, getting ill and finally transfering the file to my desktop computer here is chapter 5!

This fic is separated into several "arcs", which in turn are separated into several "sub-arcs". The arcs are divided by the main focus and topics of its chapters, while the sub-arcs are divided by the focus on certain characters or events. The current arc is number 1, and chapter 5 marks the start of the 2nd sub-arc, because a new character is going to enter the squad!

In this site the division of arcs don't matter much, though, they are just a way to keep things a bit more organized.

Anyways, enjoy!

The following day on the human world, Kelly and Vincent were at their house, practicing with their instruments. Vincent took up the drums and Kelly… the tuba.

Vincent used his drumsticks to hit the drums softly; he always did that before suddenly going crazy with them. His beat was slow and didn't make the whole house shake like the drums tend to do if you play them with energy. He was about to speed up his pace when suddenly-

OH MY GOODNESS THE LOUDEST TUBA NOISE HUMANLY POSSIBLE WAS MADE IN FRONT OF HIM THAT WAS PRETTY DAMN SCARY.

Vincent almost fell off his seat when Kelly decided to prank him and play a single, loud note on her tuba. The girl kept on the note as she scooted away slowly.

"Kelly what the heck!" Vincent sort of laughed, but it doesn't matter if he found it funny or not because I just remembered he wasn't even meant to be the focus of this chapter!

"What…?" Vincent asked, "Then who is it?"

Let me show you!

==MEANWHILE==

Some blocks away from the Petersons' were two guys walking down the street. They were walking home from school, which explained the backpacks on their shoulders.

"And then she called me a dork!" One of them complained, "I mean, if she found dorks attractive I wouldn't have minded but she never told me that!"

"Connor," The other one laughed, "You are a dork. Just accept it and let your life go on, man." he mocked.

Connor frowned, "But I'm not, David!" he complained, "After all, who's the coolest guy you've met?"

"There's me, my dad, and that guy from middle school who back flipped off the school library's roof…" David hummed, using his fingers to simulate counting, "And there are some others, but you're not one of them, dude, you're a dork." he smirked.

Connor pouted and along with David, he kept walking towards David's home. David's family's house had two windows at the front, one of which was from the living room. From that window David's little brother, Anthony, always peeked out to greet him whenever he arrived. And sure enough he was there, practically stuck to the window.

David adjusted his backpack and looked at Connor, "Well, here's where I go off, do you want to come in straight ahead?" he asked, since the two had agreed to stay at his house during the afternoon.

"Nah, let me drop off my backpack at home and I'll come back here afterwards." Connor replied and waved his friend goodbye, "See you later, man!"

David shrugged and waved goodbye to Connor as well, "See you later too, then!" he laughed and walked towards his house's front door, while Connor parted towards the sidewalk once more.

David slid his backpack off his shoulder and grabbed one of its straps with his right hand as he reached for the doorknob. He opened the door wide open and tossed his backpack to the side, before closing the door again. His little brother immediately rushed to greet him.

"Hello David!" Anthony chirped and hugged his older brother by the waist. After all, that was the highest he could reach.

"Hello!" David smiled and patted his brother's head, "Hey, Connor is coming with us today!"

"Really? Woohoo!" Anthony exclaimed and unwrapped his arms from David.

Since the two met at elementary school, David and Connor had become the best of friends, and seemingly their families had, too. It was that unexplainable acquaintance that families developed after their kids formed a friendship. Not that anyone minded.

As David went to the kitchen to greet his mom, we wondered if Connor was doing the same thing.

==SOME TIME LATER==

Connor reached his house and opened the door. After closing it he rushed upstairs and tossed his backpack on the floor of his room. Someone's head peeked out from the room next to his and smiled.

"Hello dear!" Connor's mom chimed, "How was your day?"

Connor eeked in surprise, "Oh, it was fine! I'm about to go to David's house now." he stated as he walked over to his mother and gave her a quick peck on the check. His mother doing the same.

"Take care, Connor." His mother said sternly as he walked downstairs and exited the house.

Connor sighed and walked towards David's house. He didn't feel like running, so he opted for walking instead. Albeit slowly, very slowly (ugh).

==MEANWHILE==

Back in Toontown, Flippy and the rest of the scientists were setting up the Dimensionator for its second day of work. It was time for the portal to open up at the Petersons' backyard again, and for Kelly and Vincent to return to the parallel world.

The scientists worked vigorously, saving dates and locations so they didn't have to work it out later again. However, one of the scientists that was saving the location switched things up a little bit. And instead of a 2, he inputted a 5 in the long string of numbers that was the coordinate.

The Dimensionator was ready, and the machine gleefully started up and charged energy. The same black beam of always shot out to the floor, opening another interdimensional portal.

==MEANWHILE (AGAIN)==

Connor walked towards David's house rather slowly, but he was growing impatient and decided to speed up the pace. First he walked faster, then he jogged, and then it turned into a full-blown sprint, almost as if he was running for his life.

The amount of time he spent across the blocks was shortened, and he was really close to David's house now. However, the sidewalk seemingly had other plans for him, as out of the blue a black hole appeared and extended quickly in the sidewalk, with some bits of grey goo coming out.

Connor tried to slow down before he touched the portal, but it was too late to stop abruptly, so he ended up flailing his arms wildly and screaming like a little girl as he fell feet-first into the hole.
