After you'd finished your laundry, you head back upstairs to your room. You check Pesterchum to see if anyone is online. They aren't, except for SB, still. You go to unpack some other things, like your toothbrush and shampoo and stuff. After you're done, you get out your sketchbook and start drawing something. You don't quite know what, but you just start doodling until something comes to you amidst all of the doodles. Suddenly, you hear Pesterchum go off, looking over to see that someone's messaged you. You set down your sketchbook and go over. Another one of your friends is online, and they've messaged you. They must've gotten the news that you were home from SB. You reply to them.

RN: HEY!
RN: I heard you were finally back home.
DR: I would've told you that myself, but it appears SB beat me to it.
RN: Heh, obviously. You know how she is.
DR: Yeah. And it's not like I don't mind.
DR: It's just one less person to have to tell.
RN: WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!
DR: Calm down.
DR: As I previously mentioned, I would've told you once I noticed you were online.
RN: Huh... I suppose you have a point there.
DR: Of course. So there was no real need to burst out like that.
RN: Right...
RN: I'm sorry.
DR: You seem to be getting better, though.
DR: You've only yelled twice this entire conversation.
RN: Hah... You really think so?
DR: Of course.
DR: I wouldn't lie to any of my friends.
RN: Thank you.
RN: I'm glad that SOMEONE realizes that I'm actually getting better.

You soon realize that the last of the friends you need to tell is online. Better cut this conversation if you wish to tell him before SB does.

DR: Yeah.
DR: Anyways, I'd hate to suddenly cut this off, but CW just got online, and I want to tell him that I'm back home before SB does.
RN: Oh, alright.
RN: WAIT!
RN: ONE LAST THING!!
RN: Have you got the game, yet?
DR: I have yet to check.
RN: Oh.
RN: Okay.
RN: I'll talk later, then!!
DR: Yes.
DR: Later.

You quickly click on your last friend's chumhandle and send him a message. Thankfully, he responds rather quickly.

DR: Hey!
CW: Oh, hey!! 😀
CW: What's up? 🙂
DR: Not much. I got home not too long ago.
CW: Oh, that's great! 😄
CW: Welcome home. 😁
DR: Thank you.
DR: Baked any sweets while I was gone?
CW: Of course! I baked quite a few things, actually. 🙂
CW: My double chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. Like usual. 😋
DR: Of course. When are they not your favorite.
DR: At this point, I'm certain you've basically perfected that recipe.
CW: You know it!! I even saved some, just for you when you got back! 😄
DR: Aw, that's very kind.
DR: Thank you.
CW: Aw, it's no problem. 😅
CW: I made some for everyone, after all. 😀
DR: That's still very sweet.

You then hear your mom calling you from downstairs.

DR: Oh, my mom's calling me.
DR: I should probably go.
CW: Alright. See ya! 😊
DR: Bye.

You get up, heading downstairs because that's  where your mom is. You wonder what she could want as you get closer to the last stair step....
