Perci realizes that he can't feed 4 people with his current resources. He grabs his bow and arrow.

"Hey guys! I'm off to fetch us a perfect dinner.", He says. Josh waves and winks at Perci.

"Can I come?" Josh says, looking into Perci's eyes.

"Honey, you just gave birth to a fully grown woman, are you sure?"

"Yes, what if you got lost?"

"Okay, fine. I wouldn't mind getting lost with you." Vae looks at them and waves. The Cleaning Lady ignores what's been said and still cleans, humming a weird sounding tune. Perci hands Josh a spear. They leave the cabin, hoping that its not in ruins when they get back. They adventure in the woods, in search of prey. They see a deer, in the distance. In unison, Josh chucks his spear and Perci fires an arrow. The arrow hits the deer in the heart and the spear hits the rear. The deer collapses. Josh chuckles. Perci ignores the chuckle and they both run towards the deer. Josh grabs Perci's left hand. Perci smiles. They reach the deer and they hear a loud "Moo". They freeze. What looked like a half cow, half man thing appeared in front of them. It looked at the deer and licked its lips.

"Well hello there, oh boy do you look tasty.", It said in a high pitched voice. They hear it moan loudly. They hear someone come up to them, from behind. Josh and Perci see Vae walk in front of them. Vae screams very loudly, enough to shatter a mirror. Everyone's ears start bleeding. Cow runs off in pain, crying. Vae looks at Josh and Perci, who are weeping. She places her hands on Josh's ears and they start glowing. Josh's ears are healed. Perci is on the ground covering his ears, panicking. Vae slides her hands under his and heals his ears.

"Sorry about that." She tells them. They look at her confused. The three of them skin and gut the deer. They make multiple trips, bringing it's meat home. When they finish, they notice that the cabin is spotless. The Cleaning Lady is spread out on the couch, drinking a glass of wine.

Perci thinks, "I don't remember owning wine." Josh, Perci, and Vae begin cooking dinner.

Vae asks, "Hey Cleaning Lady, wanna help out?"

"No thanks, a lady needs her beauty sleep." Vae rolls her eyes. They make venison stew. They pour it into four bowls. They put the rest into storage.

Josh takes the fourth bowl hands it out to The Cleaning Lady and says, "Dinner's ready."

"Uhh, what? Oh food, nice." She sits up, takes the bowl from him and begins eating it. Josh sits next to her with his bowl. Vae sits down beside him with her bowl. Perci pushes Vae a bit to have room on the couch and sits down with his bowl. Josh tries a spoonful and moans at the flavor. Vae and Perci laugh. Josh gives them a look. Vae has a taste and finds it to be delicious.

Perci tries his and says, "Perfect." The Cleaning Lady finishes her's first and takes out a toothbrush and toothpaste. She starts brushing her teeth, to stay perfectly clean at all times. Everyone else finishes their's a while later. Josh collects the bowls. Him and Perci go to wash the bowls, when The Cleaning Lady grabs the bowls from them.

"Remember, I actually know how to clean, unlike you amateurs." She takes out a bucket, soap, and a rag that has "Cleaning Lady™" printed on it and expertly cleans the bowls. The bowls sparkle like never before.

Perci says, "Thank you Cleaning Lady."

"The bowls should be the ones thanking me."
