"Live from the McGee family living room, in Brighton's defund manufacturing district, it's Wheel... of... Chore-Fun!" Sharon said. "The heck is this? Other than a waste of perfectly good macaroni?" Scratch chews on a piece of macaroni from the wheel. "It's a time-honored tradition that all McGees must face." Molly said. "The McGee Family Chore Wheel!" (Y/n) said. Darryl snaps a rubber glove. "Hope I get trash duty! It's where I get my best blackmail material." He holds a picture of his dad from late 1987. "But why do I have to clean the house? You bought it, you clean it!" Scratch said. Sharon gives him a menacing stare. "And there's that stare, so I'm in for chores." He drops to the floor and drags himself away from Sharon. "Count me in." He said. "OK! Here we go!" Molly said. Molly and (Y/n) spin the wheel at the same time and it stops on "closets" "Ah hah! Closets! Nailed it!" (Y/n) said, and she and Molly high five. For Pete, the wheel lands on "carpets" "Carpets...
Uh, not great for my dust allergies, but it could be worse." He said. For Darryl the wheel lands on "kitchen" "Kitchen. I'll take it!" He said. For Sharon, the wheel lands on "compost duty" "Compost duty. Phew." She said. Molly pushes Scratch to the wheel as it was his turn. He spins the wheel as he watches in suspense on what chore he'll be getting until it lands on... laundry duty; Scratch was relieved. Unfortunately, the wheel moved to "downstairs bathroom", giving him that chore instead. "N-- No, no! Not the downstairs bathroom! That's the—" Scratch retches. "That's the grossest chore of all! I command a re-spin!" He shouted. Sharon grabs Scratch away from the wheel. "Too late." She said. "The wheel... has... spoken." (Y/n), Molly, Darryl, and Pete said. "This is outrageous! When I became a McGee, I was under the impression families were all about perks." Sharon gives him a bucket.
"Like unconditional love," Pete gives him a towel. "Free food," (Y/n) gives him a pair of rubber gloves, and Darryl puts a cleaning spray bottle inside the bucket. "And a bunch of schmoes who do everything for me. I did not sign up for manual labor!" Scratch shouted. "It's all part of being a family, Scratch. Sometimes it means fun and games, today it means hard water stains around the toilet." Sharon said. "I guess you're right-- Oh, what's that? Urgent ghost business?" Scratch opens a portal to the ghost world. "McGees, I'll be back. I'm so sorry. I gotta gooooo..." he enters the portal and the wheel breaks upon hitting the floor.
The Ghost Council are about to punish another ghost. "We hereby banish you to The Flow of Failed Phantoms-" Sir Alister said. Scratch comes in the middle of the situation. "Hey! Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt. I know you guys are busy." He said. "No it's fine, really. Just take all the time you need." The ghost escapes the Ghost Council from being sent to The Flow of Failed Phantoms. "Great. I just thought I'd, y'know, check in. Any urgent scares you need me to, uh, scare up, y'know? I could totally do that. Watch this." Scratch quickly scares two barrister ghosts. "Boo! I'm just kidding, but that's how fast they were. I can-- Anything I can do for you personally? Y'know, that wig is looking a little flat." He messes with Lucretia's hair. "I could fluff it up for you. Give it some bangs." He said. "You are dismissed, Scratch." She opens a portal to send Scratch away. "Oooh, no!" Scratch shouted.
Scratch falls straight into the toilet. "Ahh!" Scratch makes disgusted noises. "Yuck! I'm too dead for this!" He said. Molly picks up a box of clown stuff. "So many memories, so little resale value." She said. She immediately drops the box as she is shocked to see what she saw in the closet. "Sweet baby corn!" She shouted. "What is it, sis?" (Y/n) asked. Sharon and Pete glare at Darryl who did something suspicious. "MOM, DAD, DARRYL, SCRATCH! COME QUICK!" Molly shouted. They assemble in the living room. "Huh? What? I'm still working!" Scratch said. "Look what I found!" Molly shows the family a board game called "Mega City" "Mega City?! Oh, We haven't played this in forever!" Darryl said. "I thought we lost it in the move." Pete said. "It was all the way in the back like someone was trying to hide it or something." (Y/n) said, and Sharon looks guilty. "What's the big deal? It's just a board game." Scratch said. (Y/n), Molly, Darryl, and Pete gasp as they were offended by Scratch's statement. "Just a board game?!" Molly asked. "How dare you!" (Y/n) shouted. "Whoa, hit a nerve there." Scratch said. "Mega City is the game that inspired me to become a city planner. I might just be the best player in the entire world." Pete said.
