Jorge woke up from a good nap. He looked outside his window and saw the city. It was bright and busy as always. He planned on going to Chris and Carlo's soon, so he got ready. Anthony was in the living room on his computer, busy. He looked up and saw Jorge getting ready.

"Afternoon, dream boy. You ready for your friends?" Anthony asked.

"Yep. How's the new job working out for you?" Jorge replied.

"It's actually going great. I could start up a blog about this."

Jorge laughed a bit, seeing his brother loving his job as an author made him smile. He was happy that him and his brother could finally get along.

"Stay safe, Jorge!" His parents called out as Jorge smiled and ran.

...

Chris got off his computer, stretching after a few hours of researching of new ruins. His father walked in with a glass of water in his hand, his eyes no longer with eye bags.

"Hey, champ. Got new info?" He asked.

"Not yet, but I got a new place to explore, it might have some leads." Chris answered. Both smiled, as his father patted his head and walked off, Carlo walking in to replace him.

"Hey Carlito. How's the date with Ash?"

"H-Hey! I-It wasn't a date, it was a hangout." Carlo stuttered out, blushing. Chris laughed.

"Dad, can Jorge, Sub and Tyler come over?" Chris then called out. "With Lasata, Krisalee and Ashley?"

"Are you kidding me? You don't need my approval for that, he can always come over!" His dad answered. "You guys got that freedom."

...

Sketch and Sub were running back and forth to put out a small kitchen fire in their new home in the city.

"Sub! Find the fire extinguisher in your system!" Sketch hollered. Sub nodded, having to take off his jacket and his new blindfold as he finds a computer chip with data that held safety things.

"No, that's a sword... that's an axe... AH- DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT- FOUND IT!" Sub exclaimed, a fire extinguisher made out of Sub's pixels as the fire was blown out. Both Sketch and Sub panted.

"W-We should just get take out, huh?" Sub asked, his arm coming back. Sketch laughed, hugging Sub.

"Yeah, we'll get takeout. Using my machine, that is!"

"Sketch! You know there's Del Taco right there. Plus, I'm going to Chris and Carlo's."

"What, I don't like avocados. I'm gonna use the machine. You go on ahead, Sub. Stay safe."

...

"Janet!" Tyler called lazily.

"What is it, moron?" Janet asked.

"Can I go to Chris and Carlo's?"

"What's the occasion?"

"Maybe plans on what's gonna happen next, I dunno."

"Like what? Adventures of what's gonna happen out there?"

"Maybe."

Janet walked in, a smirk on her face with Tyler a bit surprised. It was the first time he saw her smile in ages.

"Tyler, you got guts. Go discover the world that my blind ass can't see." Tyler smiled to hear that statement, almost bringing him to tears as he jumped through the window to go down the emergency exit.

...

Ashley was on her computer with Piper and Nathan, while Lasata and Krisalee were helping Tifanny with some chores as their guest.

"Ash, don't you have to see Chris and Carlo later?" Piper asked.

"Again? Damn, you must really like him." Nathan called out.

"Nathan!" Tifanny hollered from the distance.

"Oops."

"Yeah, I do. It's only to talk about what we're gonna do next, I guess." Ashley answered. "I think Lasata and Krisalee are coming too."

"Yep. And we just finished helping your mom, so we can go." Lasata added with Krisalee behind her. Tifanny walked in and had the most genuine smile on her face.

"Girls, stay safe, promise?"

"Promise!"

...

One by one they walked in, smiles on and determination. They planned on the ruins they had wanted to discover since the first time they ran. With quests they were willing to take, it was well.

But of course they stayed home to unwind.

They practiced their skills, to keep in touch and to remind themselves of the Royals they made good friends with.

With birds soaring, the bright sun shined like the sky, with the borderline filled with blue.

"I wonder what happens next."

They dashed out at night afterwards, their spraycans in hand and their masks and gloves painting over the city walls, their quotes revealing their true identity and their stories.

"I'll continue chasing dreams."

"I have the approval."

"I am free."

"I know there's more out there."

"I am loved."

"I promised."

"I'll protect you."

"I'll serve you."

They Were Spraypainted.

The End.
