*Jackieboy man POV*

I woke to the normal chatter of the others I fixed my mask with a yawn. I looked at my spiderman calendar with a sigh realizeing the date, I exited my room the day already off to a bad start. Stepping out into the hallway I see Anti he is the only one that knows what today is. I give him a soft smile and he returns it we both head down to the kitchen and grab a fruit not caring to eat anything more. "What's wrong guys? This isn't like you both, Anti your normally teasing one of us and Jackie, your normally either teasing Anti or defending us?" Chase said looking between us. Henrick then spoke up. "You do this every August 20th and we are tired of it" I expected Anti scream at him but he just whimpered I walked over to him pulling into a hug. "Today is hard for us okay." I whisper Chase responded softly "But why bro we want to understand." JJ piped in signing "You both act like you fought in the war and where the only survivors." Both me and Anti looked at JJ with wide eyes. I felt tears in the corners of my eyes, Anti began crying. Marvin glanced at JJ hesitantly asking. "What did JJ say to upset you two so much." I looked up seeing the confused expressions of the other four. "We'll l explain after we both calm down."

Opening my eyes for what felt like the first time in years. I'm in the woods as always, I stand brushing the dirt off me and titeining the bandages around my wrists with a stretch I pick up my hat and bag then begin walking home. I look around the familiar street the early dew signifying it is around 8 AM at the latest. I pat my back pocket and find my house key stepping up to the porch I slide it into the lock. Opening the door I see a light coming from the kitchen the house oddly silent the usual bickering not greating me I scan the living room it is neater than it should be knowing them. I walk upstairs seeing a light under their doors I step up to the first one knocking in my usual way to wake him up and let him know I am home and do the same with the other, mouthing 'I'm everywhere'. I enter my room everything the same as I left it good to know those two still follow my rule of not disturbing someone's room when they're not using it. I throw my bag down slipping off my hat and lay down on my bed, it feels like I haven't been in this bed in years. I don't want to fall asleep again so I lay there in the comfort of home with a looming feeling of new mixed in.

*Jackieboy man POV*

Me and Anti went back to our rooms to recollect ourselves before we talked about what happened when I hear a familiar knock I whisper "I'm everywhere?" I sit up slipping over to my door I open looking out into the hallway Anti doing the same I whisper yell "Did you?" He shook his head and looked towards that room I reached out for his hand as he got a hopeful glint in his eyes and started walking towards the old door we hadn't touched since that happened, he pushed the door it opend without a fight. I look in the room a small gasp nearly escaping my lips. I pull Anti back I smile looking him in the eyes he responds with a smile of his own. We rushed down stairs me almost dragging Anti, we ran into the kitchen and started preparing a plate of seven sandwiches Chase catching us. "What are you two doing?" Anti giggled, "serviver sandwiches." We finished the up quickly. Everyone else came in to the kitchen hearing the commotion before they could ask anything I beconed for everyone to follow us Anti lead the way with me behind him proceeded by Marvin, Henrick, Chase then JJ we stepped in the room Anti placed the plate on the desk still littered with maps and looked back at me, the sinister smerked on my face made him light up. We rush over to the bed jumping on the sleeping person who yelped. "Okay mates I'm awake." He opened his eyes my blue ones meeting his and he glanced between me and Anti a sad smile tugging at his lips Anti was the first to speak. "Hi Angus." We all embraced eachother in a hug tears streaming down all our faces when suddenly. "What is going on!" All three of us look at the four standing by the door. "G'day mates the name is Angus Irwin I'm the survival hunter."  Marvin stepped forward eyeing Angus. "Marvin the magnificent, how exactly do you know Jackie and Anti." Angus chuckled as both me and Anti hug him tighter. "These two buggers are my baby brothers." Marvin reached for his wand. "No, Jackie is the oldest we have no other brothers." I let Angus go and stand between them "I suppose it would be a good time to explain right Anti." He sighed nodding still not letting go of Angus. "We didn't tell you Marv because he was claimed dead. He went missing around..." my thought trailed off. "January 2017." Anti finished, with a nod I continued "Then you showed up and we had someone else again and we had something to distract us from going out searching for Angus. Every August 20th we mourned the loss of our friends video series. That series led him home at the end of the week... until it didn't." Angus smerked in a mix of guilt and pride scanning over the other four "So now I have six brothers instead of two?" I grabbed the plate as Henrick questioned. "It's no one gonna point out zhat Antisepticeye is cuddling and not stabbing." Angus looked between Henrick and Anti who was wiping his face. "That doesn't sound like little Anti McLaughlin, the boy who glitched through the floor and cried about how scary the basement was." Anti flushed a bright red as I sat down with the sandwiches Anti and Angus taking one I hold the plate out for everyone else to take one "why don't we move to the living room. We can better explain in a larger space so we can all breathe." Chase took a sandwich as we all walked down stairs to the living room everyone taking their spots. Chase grabbed a whiskey from behind the couch. "So what now do we introduce ourselves." Henrick grabbed the whiskey replieing. "Clearly yes. I guess I should go next as I am next eldest after Marvin. My name is doctor Henrick von Shneplestien P.H.D M.V.P M.D." he straightened up. And Chase sat up grabbing his nerf gun. "Chase Brody creater of a trick shot channel Bro Avrage, father of two. This is JJ, a silent movie actor. Emphasis on the silent" JJ gave a small wave. Angus smiled, all of us eating the sandwiches in a comfortable silence. Anti tentatively spoke up. "Tell me I'm not dreaming, Angus went missing years ago. There is no feasible way that he's alive so, am I?" I started laughing and it slowly became simalar to Anti's. "If your dreaming then ether I am too or this is real A" I dive off the couch tackling him to the floor and we play wrestled for a second before the others started trying and failing to pull us apart ,Angus sighed. "Boys now isn't the time. We should all go to bed and rest up today was an adventure." Anti piped up from the floor. "Says the man who jumps off of waterfalls then spends almost an entire week in the wilderness at a time with nothing but the clothes on his back and basic survival equipment." I then responded. "Yeah and who are you to criticize mr. Glitch demon." Angus laughed "The last time I saw you Anti you where barely able to control your abilities." We all head to our rooms Angus waiting for me and Anti to stop at the doors we halt in the door frame and turn to face the hallway smiles on our faces, the others did the same in confusion. Angus tapped each of our shoulders wishing us goodnight and paused in his own door both me and Anti giggled and said. "Night Angus sweetly septic dreams." Before closing the door and going to bed.

[Yeet the time space continuum]

I woke with a sigh and wandered to my door Anti came out at the same time and we walked down to the kitchen to be greated by the others. Anti looked up and mumbled. "I had the weirdest dream that you know who returned and I cried." I froze and looked to Anti as I go to pull him into a hug and tell him I had the same dream Henrick said. "You did cry yesterday, did you hit your head and if so should I alert Angus and take you to mine office." We both paled and rushed upstairs entering Angus room seeing him in his bed we reenter the kitchen. Anti began to cry and whimpered. "It really happened the only father figure we ever had is back and not dead and you all finally get to meet him." The others look at us in confusion as Angus enters the kitchen. "G'day mates how 'bout we all eat and get to know each other," Angus paused and placed his bandaged hands on Anti and my shoulders. "I especially want to know what you two buggers have been up to it's been a long time and you both have grown up since I last was here." Both me and Anti giggled and said almost in unison. "Alot has changed about us but we are still the same little brothers that you remember." He smiled and the three of us sit down, Angus started asking Marvin questions about the mask and what he dose and to show him some magic tricks. With each question and constructive criticism Marvin leaned over to me and whispered. "I see why you like him. He is a good man." He continued another trick the magic dust making Anti sneeze and glitches erupt through him, Angus braced himself. Anti smerked and pat him on the shoulder, Angus sighed realizeing he didn't disappear. He began asking the others questions sparkles in their eyes glittering as he let them ramble about things everyone else at the table knew, the amazement in his expressions a refreshing experience. Jamison signed out. "It is nice to have someone else who is animated."  He looked at Jameson in confusion Anti translated it for him adding he will teach him sign language. The day progressed like something out of the movies Angus telling he famous stories that Anti and I had heard a thousand times before resiteing it with him at our favorite parts. As we did the nighttime routine once more the others seemed much more excited about it we wished a good night to eachother heading to bed I layed down a smile on my face Angus has returned and he isn't going to disappear any time soon.

{This was my way of remembering Angus. Even though I am late to the anniversary of the final episode I thought I should resurrect him and bring him into the cast of septic egos.  -Starling ☆}
