A few hours later, everyone was cleaning the kids' rooms. Patton and Logan were helping Imag. Remy and Emile were helping Pranks. Virgil, Roman, and Deirdre were helping Missy. Deceit was helping Narrator. Remus was helping Critic.
~With Patton and Logan~
"So, Imag. If you could have a name, what would it be?" Patton asked, folding Imag's clothes.
"Hm... Jasper." Imag said.
"Then, we'll call you Jasper." Patton smiled.
"Really!?" Imag gasped and grinned.
"Of course." Patton nodded. He shut Imag's dresser. "That's all of your clothes. What's next?"
"Dust the fan. I can't reach it." Imag said.
"Alright, Jasper." Patton looked at Logan. "Logie, can you reach the fan."
"Yes, I can. Where's the duster?" Logan asked.
"In the hall closet," Jasper said.
"Alright, I'll be right back," Logan said and walked out of the room to get the duster.
~With Remy and Emile~
Remy and Emile were sweeping the floors and dusting Pranks' room.
"Pranks, if you could choose a name, what would it be?" Emile asked.
"Sage." Pranks smiled.
"Really?" Remy asked, seemingly surprised.
"Yeah. All my life, I've always liked nature. Sage is my favorite herb. I have no idea why... maybe my dreams have something to do with it." Pranks said.
Remy and Emile stayed silent and looked at each other.
"We'll call you Sage from now on." Emile smiled, looking at Pranks.
"Really?" Sage smiled. "Thank you!"
~With Virgil, Roman, and Deirdre~
Deirdre sat in her wheelchair, watching Virgil and Roman work.
"Deirdre, right?" Missy asked. Deirdre nodded. "I'm Missy, it's nice to meet you."
"Same here." Deirdre smiled a bit. "So, if you could choose any name for yourself, what would it be?"
"Oliver," Missy said. "I love the name so much even if the name represents olive trees..."
"I like that name. I'm going to call you that from now on." Deirdre smiled.
"So, are you their daughter, or...?" Missy asked.
"Oh, no. We're just friends. Though, Virgil said he'll adopt me."
"I've always wondered what it's like to be adopted..." Oliver muttered.
"Don't worry, I bet you'll all get adopted someday," Deirdre said.
"Thanks." Oliver smiled.
"No problem."
~With Deceit~
Deceit looked around Narrator's room.
"Why do I have to clean even though it's already clean in here?" Deceit looked around for something out of the ordinary and found nothing.
"I'm usually well-organized." Narrator said, tweaking his glasses.
Deceit just sat on the bed, Narrator sitting down next to him.
"What do you want your name to be?" Deceit asked suddenly.
"Cayden. It's a very cool and sleek name." He said.
"Right."
~With Remus~
"Don't move my paintings. Make sure to dust, sweep, fold my clothes, and everything else twice." Critic said.
Remus' eye twitched and he muttered, "Why twice?"
"Just to make sure everything is in order." Critic said.
"Ugh, this will take forever," Remus muttered and got to work anyway. "What do you want your name to be?"
"Hm... Anton. It's a sophisticated name." Critic said.
"Uh-huh..."
~A few hours later~
"Well, we should get going." Patton said.
"Already?" The lady asked. "I was hoping you'd guys stay here and take care of these brats."
Patton's eyes widened and he looked at the lady. "Brats? I don't think so. They are well-behaved children and if you can't see that, you're as blind as a bat. They deserve the best homes and the best caretakers, now if you'll excuse us, we have places to be."
The others looked at Logan. Logan looked back at them and asked, "What?"
"Did you know Patton could talk back?" Virgil asked.
"Why, of course." Logan smiled. "It's one of the many reasons why I love him."
"Now, call them by their proper names and make sure they get adopted by the right people, do I make myself clear?" Patton questioned.
"Y-Yes, of course." The lady said.
"Good. Let's go, everyone." Patton turned but was called back.
"Wait!" The kids yelled and ran up to Patton.
"Hm? What is it?" Patton asked.
"We just want to thank you all for taking care of us, even if it was for a day." Missy blushed a bit.
"Yeah." The kids nodded.
"You're welcome." Patton smiled. The kids then hugged Patton tightly. Patton hugged them back. "Take care of each other, okay?"
"Okay!" They nodded again.
"We have to go. Bye-bye now." Patton smiled.
"Bye!" The kids exclaimed.
