"Alexis and I grew up with Hope and Phil. They were my parents' best friends until..." Guy says.

"Oh Guy, Alexis. We thought we lost your whole family." Hope says.

"That was the moment we realized in such a dangerous world there had to be a better way to live." Phil says as he shows the group his and Hope's home.

"This is truly amazing." Alexis says as the group follows Phil and Hope to a machine that brings them up into the house.

"It's beautiful!" Ugga says.

"Kind of big isn't it?" Grug asks as the group looks around.

"Oh Alexis. We know Dawn will be so happy to see you." Phil says as he looks at Alexis.

"Dawn?" Alexis asks happily.

"Dawn?" Eep asks.

"Yeah. Guy and I grew up with her. She was a really close friend." Alexis says shyly.

"Oh Dawn! Dawn! Where is she?" Hope asks as she looks at Phil.

"I'm in the panic cubby!" A voice shouts.

"Panic cubby!" Hope and Phil say as they go over to a mossy area of the room.

"Dawn it wasn't wild animals. It's safe to come out." Hope says as a girl comes out of a mossy tree trunk.

"Mom maybe we should drill some air holes in the door of the panic cubby?" Dawn asks as she gasps for air.

"No air holes. Snakes could get in. But you'll never believe who we just found." Hope says as Dawn sees Alexis and Guy.

"Alexis! Guy!" Dawn shouts happily.

"Dawn!" Guy and Alexis shout as they run over to Dawn.

"I'm so happy to see you!" Dawn shouts happily as she looks at Alexis.

"You too." Alexis says happily as she hugs Dawn while she and Dawn happily talk before Eep comes over and excitedly talks to Dawn.

*Timeskip*

"As our houseguests you're welcome to anything you want." Phil says as the group is following them through the house.

"I know what I want." Grug says as he sees some bananas and reaches for them before Phil stops him.

"Uh except for that." Phil says.

"But there's so many of them." Grug says confusedly.

"Uh sorry Grug. I'm afraid we have one house rule here. We don't eat the bananas." Phil says.

"But they're right here." Grug says sadly.

"Anything else. Anything at all is yours to enjoy. But we don't eat the bananas." Phil says.

"We won't eat your bananas." Ugga says much to Grug's disappointment.

"It's getting late so..." Hope says.

"Well we can just sleep-pile right here." Grug says.

"Got it. Solid spot Dad." Thunk says as everyone but Alexis and Guy get into a pile.

"Look Phil. They sleep in a pile." Hope says.

"Ooh fun!" Dawn says as she tries to join the pile only for Hope to stop her.

"Actually everyone gets their own rooms." Phil says as he gestures to other rooms.

"We get separate rooms!" Guy asks.

"So privacy?" Alexis asks happily.

"What's a room?" Eep asks.

"What's a separate?" Thunk asks.

"We Bettermans believe that privacy promotes individuality. Unofficial motto." Phil says as everyone follows him except for Grug.

*Timeskip*

"Mmm. I miss nights like this." Alexis says happily as she is looking out the window at the stars.

"Still love to look at the stars I see." A voice says revealing to be Dawn as she climbs in through the window.

"Dawn!" Alexis says happily.

"Shh. My parents don't know I'm over here." Dawn says worriedly.

"Your parents still just as controlling huh?" Alexis asks.

"Yeah. I really missed you and wanted to see you. Mostly wanted to be near you again." Dawn says as she blushes causing Alexis to chuckle.

"I've missed you too. Wanna join me?" Alexis asks as she lays in her bed.

"Sure. I can't remember when we last laid beside each other." Dawn says as she climbs into the bed and lays next to Alexis.

"When we were little. Though your parents never liked it." Alexis says as Dawn chuckles.

"I know. I just wish they'd let me go on adventures. Like your parents did with you." Dawn says.

"I know... Hey since we're together again we can always go on an adventure of our own." Alexis says as she smiles.

"I'd like that." Dawn says as she goes quiet.

"So would I. Dawn? Goodnight Dawn." Alexis says as she then falls asleep after seeing Dawn fell asleep beside her.
