Jack and Crutchie being big bros cuz soft so rewiiind

"wOOAHHH HONEY WATCHA WAITIN FORRRR!" Jack sang as he painted. Crutchie sang it too as he rewrapped pillow pets on his crutches. "STEP INTO MY CANDY STOOORE-"

"SHUT UP, HEATHER!" Crutchie yelled.

"Haha!" Jack cheered as he finished painting. "Done!"

"Nice." He said.
....
"Watch my every step! Find a sTURDY BRANCH, DONT YOU DARE LOOK DOWN! PULL YOUR BODY UP! DIG IN YOUR HEELS-"

"LETS SEE WHAT THIS TREE REVEALS! JUST A FEW MORE FEET!" Jack got another canvas. "WE'RE ALMOST AT THE TOP! WATCH THE ROBIN'S NEST! PULL YOUR BODY UP TILL YOUVE BROKEN THROUGH-"

"Boys! Come look at the news!" Medda called.

Crutchie hopped up on his Crutches and they walked over to the living room.

"Leaves dozens of children to sleep on the gym floor."

"No no no! They can't do that!" Crutchie protested.

"I wish i could save them." Jack sighed.

"Me too." Crutchie agreed.

"Exactly why I called you out here." Medda mentioned.

Later(like a while but not a super long while later)

"Hi! Nice to meet you! I'm Crutchie!" He greeted. The kid shrugged him off. "Uh. Jack is in our room. He's on the loft because clearly-" he looked at his leg. "I can't. He'll probably paint you pretty much whatever you want."
