"Wake up!" Rodrick yells out scaring Anya.

"Rodrick." She says pushing him back slightly.

"Help us clean my Mom's on her way back!" He says panicking as Greg goes all over the house cleaning.

"Shit!" She yells out zooming off the couch and helps the boys clean the house.

Rodrick tries to take the eyeliner off only for it to smudge more.

"Idiot don't rub like that!" Anya says taking the makeup remover and drenches a towel taking it off for him.

"There go!" She tells him as he runs out the bathroom as she cleans his mess and throws the rag in the trash bag she has.

"Rodrick the sofa chair!" Anya points outside the window seeing it on the grass.

They run outside and hear the sprinklers start to turn on.

Greg runs forward and free jumps in front of the sofa blocking it from getting wet.

Anya opens the door and lets the two bring the sofa in as she gives Greg 5 bucks for his sacrifice.

"Front yard!" Rodrick says making them nod.

They are all outside cleaning all the garbage up as Anya turns around and she sees Rodrick slip as he doesn't even get up and continues to pick up the trash making her laugh.

Anya watches as Rodrick and Greg try to shove the trash bags into the bin.

"Move." She tells them as they comply she gets her scissors and stabs the air out and shoved them closing the bin.

"Do you just carry those around?" Greg asks pointing to the scissors.

"She does. Now come on." Rodrick says as Anya closes the door.

All three of them look around the house in satisfaction.

"It looks very good." Greg says.

"Too good." Rodricks says as Anya hands him a bag of pretzels. He opens them and drops some on the floor.

"Now the kitchen." Rodrick says making them nod as they pass by the bathroom door that had 'Rodrick Rules' written on it.

They all back up slowly in disbelief. "Maybe we can paint it?" Greg says.

"I do not know how to make paint." Rodrick says panicking. "I got it!" Greg says.

Greg and Rodrick walk up the basement stairs carrying a door as Anya takes the bathroom door off.

"Its a good thing I locked you down here. For now let's go!" Rodrick says as Anya moves the other door and Rodricks starts to put the other one.

"We're not gonna make it." Greg says panicking as Anya hurries and takes the door to the basement.

"We're gonna make it!" Both Anya and Rodrick say as Greg hands him the nail and Anya takes the door away.

"AGHHH!" Rodrick yells as he drops it again.

"Huh see? told you it would work." Rodrick says patting his brothers shoulder as they both run into the living room.

Rodrick dives into the sofa as Greg sits on the little sofa and quickly opens a book.

Anya speed walks into the living room moving Rodrick's arm and lays down with him.

"Guys!" Greg whisper shouts making them look at him.

"The bathroom door! The door doesn't have a lock on it. The other door had a lock on it, and this doesn't. We're dead. If they find out—" He says worriedly as Rodrick gets up from his lying position and Anya face palms.

"SHH! SHHP!" Rodrick shushes him quickly hearing the door unlock and both him and Anya relax quickly.

"Greg?" Susan calls out opening the door.

"Hey guys."

"Hey, Mom, Dad." Greg says

"Hey how's Manny? Is he feeling better? Poor little guy." Rodrick says.

'Way to go Rodrick acting all nice.' Anya says sarcastically in her head.

"Yeah." Frank says squinting his eyes. "He's doing okay." He says suspiciously.

"Wow. The house looks pretty good. I was expecting a real mess." Susan says impressed.

"All thanks to Anya." Franks says making Susan chuckle.

"Who ate pretzels on the rug?" Susan asks making Greg nervously chuckle.

"I should get going I have to do help my parents out today. I'll see you all later. Hope Manny continues to feel better." Anya says getting up only for Rodrick to give her pleading eyes to not leave.

"Oh yes of course honey thanks for coming over." Susan says hugging Anya.

"Bye Anya." Frank says smiling as he goes to lean on the sofa behind Rodrick slowly.

"Do you really have to go?" Rodrick asks Anya as she smiles.

"Yeah do you?" Greg says nervously about the whole thing with his parents.

"I'll come over tomorrow." She says kissing Greg's head making Rodrick raise an eyebrow.

"How come him and Rowley always get one?" Rodrick says quietly under his breath.

Anya ruffles Rodricks hair as she heads to the door and closes it praying the two don't get caught.
