"O-Oh hey there Toby!" I stutter, with a smile on my face.
"Are you o-ok? You look s-scared o-or something." Toby twitches and gives a comforting smile to me.
"Yeah I'm fine! I need to talk to Slendy though. I'll see ya."
"Ok b-bye." Toby hugs me, I hug back, then lets me go smiling cheerfully.
I gave him one last hug and then head off to Slenderman's office. I knock on the door, waiting patently until I hear a deep voice say 'Come in'.
I open the door and I see Slenderman sitting in a chair. He looks ready for business, him having his hands on his desk as he looks at me.
    "What can I do for you?" He asks.
    I hold up my hand and show him my arms which are all bandaged up and I started to tell my story,"Something attacked me in the woods while I was fooling around...I think it was the Rake."
     "Oh dear...you have to get out of here since they already know your at the mansion. You might have to go back to your house and hide from them. I'll send Laughing Jack, Jeff, and Toby with you. Just in case Jane or the Rake comes or worse...Zalgo himself.
       If your in trouble just call me. Oh and...was anyone there when the Rake attacked you?"
     "Nope! I fought him all by myself with my natural resources! Are ya proud?" I smile and give him a thumbs up.
     "Hmm yes, please explain to me now how you fought him."
     "Ok!"

(Slenderman's POV)

      After she told me about the whole battle, I mutter under my breath,"Maybe I will let her stay with us and make her a proxy."
    I'm glad she didn't hear me though. I'll ask her later.
   I concentrate very hard and start to tell Laughing Jack, Toby, and Jeff what my plan was. They all reply with 'yes' and I look at y/n.

(Your POV)

    "Well I guess I'll get going. Bye Slenderman, and thank you for your help."
      He nods and I walk out. I close the door, turn around, and see Toby, Jeff, and Laughing Jack waiting patently in front of me.
     I start staring at Lj and he just starts laughing maniacally. I sigh and head out the door, the three following closely behind me.
    It was already pretty dark, maybe around 10:00 pm. Almost nobody was out but the people who were didn't see the creepy teenagers walking with me.
     While we were walking, Jeff and Toby started having a weird conversation about Zalgo. They were calling him goofy names but I didn't really care. I guess he was the creepypasta's enemy or something.
     Laughing Jack started talking to me, but he was giving me the creeps so I just said 'uh-huh' and 'yea' to all the questions he was giving me.
    He started trying to make small talk but I didn't even look at him. Maybe I could give him a chance...I mean clowns scare me and all but at least he didn't murder me right off the bat.

(Laughing Jack's POV)

She's not even looking at me. How rude! Well I'll show her that it's not nice to ignore me!
      "Hey so what's your favorite food?" I ask.
      "Yea." She answers.
'Is this girl crazier than me or what. At least I answer questions with manners.'
That doesn't even make sense so I just laugh for 5 minutes and bother her.
    People give me strange looks and some running away from us. 'Hopefully they don't call the police on us.'
    I grinned to myself as an evil plan formed into my mind. I quickly turned to y/n and smiled.
    "Hey y/n...do you love Toby?"
     Both boys behind us stopped talking, I could feel their glares burning into my back.
      "Yeah." Y/n answers, staring at her house as we came up to it. Suddenly she turns to me and her face starts to heat up.
      "I-I mean-" She shouts, her eyes darting around for help but I cut her off.
     "Y/n and Toby, sittin' in a tree!
K I S S I N G! First comes love! Then comes marriage! Then come-" My beautiful song was interrupted by Toby smacking me on the head, making me wince in pain.
     "S-shut up Laughing Jack." He says, crossing his arms as he turns away, his face beet red.
We finally get to y/n's house and she unlocks the door.
       Then we all go in and I sit on her couch and Jeff heads toward the kitchen.
     Toby just stands and watches her, helping her lock the door.

(Your POV)

     Forgetting about what happened I started to break the awkward silence,"Ok so, we need places to sleep. Lj do you want to sleep on the couch?"
    "Sure." He responds smiling at me. It was a nice smile, not a crazy psycho smile, so I smiled back.
I turned to Jeff.
     "Jeff where would you like to sleep?"
     "I'll sleep in that chair." He says pointing to the big chair next to the couch.
     "I-I'll sleep on t-the o-other couch in t-that room." Toby says as he points to another couch in the living room.
     "Ok I'll get some blankets, are you all sure you want to sleep there?" I ask giving a patient smile.
     "Yup thanks y/n. I'll help you carry the blankets." Jeff says and runs next to me, jumping at the end.
     "Thanks Jeff the Gentleman" I joke around and we both chuckle.
     We both sprint upstairs and into my room to get blankets. I give Jeff one and I carry two.
     "You sure you got that?" He asks worriedly, "I don't want you falling."
     "Yup I'm fine!" I respond giggling a little. We both carry the blankets down and I give the two to Lj and Toby.
      "I'll show you guys where everything is." I say.
     They all stand up after setting the blankets on their 'beds' and follow me around the house.

    "Ok and finally, that's where one bathroom is and the other is in my parents room." I say and turn to them after pointing to my parents room.
      "Ok thank you y/n." They all say.
      "I'm ganna take a quick shower and then go to bed. You guys have fun and please don't make a mess." I say worriedly.
      "Yea we won't" Laughing Jack promises, winking at me.
      "Don't stay up too late" Jeff says. "Sweet dreams." Toby hugs me and I hug back.
       "Same all goes to you. Goodnight!" I hug them all goodnight.
