Paper Chains (Hidden Videos Part 8)

After playing business with Julie (despite you getting hurt). Eddie took you and Wally to his office. Eddie checks to make sure there's no severe wound, even though you told him many times that you just have a small cut on your hand nothing severe or fatal. After Eddie places a bandage on your hand, he offers you and Wally to stick around to help him with arts and crafts. Which you both agree. While you, Eddie, and Wally are doing arts and crafts. Wally makes some paper chains along with the little beetle, until Eddie notices that there's a bug in his office that causes him to freak out and call Frank to deal with the bug problem. You don't mind the bug hanging around you and you think that the bug did a great job with the paper chains, but Eddie begs the differ and that he picks you up, keeping you out of 'danger'.

"I think you're being too much Eddie," you commented.

"I made a mistake that got you hurt once, I'm not lettin' you get hurt again," Eddie replied.

"That's..." you paused a little, "fair..."

Frank walks in the office, "hello? Mr. Dear? I'm here about your emergency."

Eddie let out a sigh of relief as he lowered you down, "thank the star you're here Frank- I mean, Mr. Frankly! We're in a heap of trouble! There's some kinda- You know, like a- "

While Eddie is struggling to explain the situation, you look at Frank and wave at him. Frank happily waved back to you then turned his attention to Eddie.

"It's like- A whatchamacallit in here?!"

"A whatchamacallit?" Frank said with a slight amusement, "I'm afraid I only deal with bugs, Mr. Dear."

Eddie gasps, "a bug, a critter, a guest, a neighbor-!- Whatever it is, it's upheavin' my whole post office! Just look at what it's done with the paper chains!" Eddie exclaimed as he pointed at the paper chains.

Frank examined the paper chains, "it made these? It did a wonderful job! Maybe you should consider hiring it."

"That's what I said earlier," you said, causing Frank to smile, "I was honestly impressed by what this little fella can do. Never have I seen a bug that can do that."

"Real cute-! I'm bein' serious, here!" Eddie said as his face was a bit red.

"Oh, there's nothing to be so scared of," Frank said, examining the bug, "it's more frightened of you than you are of it, you know."

"Scared?!" Eddie exclaimed, "of a friendly guy like me? I wouldn't even hurt a fly!"

"I would," you commented.

"I don't think you could even look at a fly with how you're hiding from this beetle," Frank said with a teasing tone.

"Hey! Don't go knockin' a fella down while he's in a fit of desperation!" Eddie said, sounding a bit embarrassed. "If you had a rogue envelope fluttering around in your home, I'd get there lickety-split!"

"That's cute," you commented while Frank blushed a little.

"I'll take that into consideration next time that happens, Mr. Dear," Frank said as he lowered his hand to let the beetle crawl on his hand, "see? Not so intimidating is it!"

"I suppose you're right..." Eddie said, "but it's easy for you to say so, I don't know these fellas on a first name basis like you do!"

"You don't need to be that familiar with them in order to get to know them better," Frank said, as he let you have the beetle. "They're just like [NAME], you or me," Frank explained while you're playing with the beetle in the background. "In Fact..." Frank turned his head to Wally's direction, "you're not scared of them, are you Wally?"
