When Tommy woke up the next morning he heard something coming from downstairs once again. He couldn't tell if it was the happy tune he heard from last night or if it was something else... He rubbed his eyes and looked up to the ceiling, disappointed that the light up stars weren't there. Maybe he could ask Techno to help him put them up after breakfast if he wasn't too busy. The blonde slowly sat up and let his arms stretch out letting the cracking and popping of joints fill the room. He looked outside to see it was already bright outside, the sun looking like it rose completely less than an hour ago. The window had a bit of frost covering it and when Tommy looked outside the trees were orange and deep red.

He sighed, getting out of bed barefoot already missing the warmth of his bed. His feet patted on the wooden ground as he walked and soon he reached his door, then shivered when he grabbed the cold door knob before ripping it away. Tommy sighed and grabbed it again, already annoyed by how his morning was going. He just slowly put his hand back on the door knob, still flinching at the temperature.

Before opening it he prayed that he wouldn't find something like he had last night. He was too tired to deal with something like that this early in the morning. He still didn't know anything about what he saw... Or what he didn't see- So he just slowly pushed the door open, walking down the long hallway towards the steps. Soon Tommy smelt pizza... The blonde became confused and kept walking to find Wilbur sitting on an uncovered couch and Techno drinking some water while leaning against a wall, switching through the TV channels.

"Oh hey Tommy. Techno got us some pizza since we haven't gone out for groceries yet. There's some cheese and pepperoni on the kitchen table. Afterwards we thought we would explore the house a bit. Then me and Techno are gonna go get some food so we don't have to keep eating pizza," Wilbur said and Tommy nodded, slowly walking over to the kitchen to grab a cheese pizza and two pepperoni slices before heading over to sit on the other side of the couch opposite of Wilbur.

"What do you mean by 'We're exploring the house'? We've already seen the pictures of the rooms and stuff like that. To be honest exploring the house seems pretty useless," Tommy said and Techno sighed, his head leaning back to rest on the wall.

"We wouldn't have to do that if the people that used to live here didn't leave their stuff around this house. When I was signing the contracts and shit they told me about it. So now we've got to go around the house and maybe throw out some stuff. Maybe keep stuff that is still in decent shape. We'll see when that time comes," Techno said and Tommy rolled his eyes and picked up a slice of pizza.

"Knowing you, you'll keep more than half of the stuff that was left here. You and your huge collection of shit," Tommy said quickly before shoving the pizza slice down his throat and swallowing. "To be honest I'm more confused on why someone would leave their junk here instead of bringing it with them when they moved."

"Eh... Well we're planning to start with the attic since that's where the movers said that's where most of their stuff is. So yeah. Once we're all done eating we can head back upstairs and take a look," Techno said and Wilbur and Tommy nodded, eating a little faster as they were excited for what they would find around the new house.

Tommy was the last to finish and he headed over to throw away his paper plate. Techno closed the box of Pizza and put it to the side for later since they still haven't bought any groceries. Wilbur on the other hand was waiting for the two at the foot of the stairs so they could head up to the second floor. When they all finally made it up the stairs they saw the attic door on the ceiling of the hallway. Tommy could see the short string hanging from the white painted door. Techno reached up for the string, having to partly get on his toes so he could reach. After a while of struggling the pink haired man was finally able to pull the string, the door traveling with it.
