This is my sixth chapter of The Nut Job.

Pairings: Grayson/Surly, Johnny/Jimmy (Slash)

Rated: K

Grayson was having a blast with the rat after they had their dinner, now they were just looking at the blue sky above.

"Wow, this is amazing, me and Surly definitely got to bring Timothy here one day" Grayson said "whatca think? He turned to Buddy who turned and nodded in agreement.

Grayson yawned "I can't wait to see my family again" He rolled to his side after covering his lower body with an old newspaper and heading off to sleep.

Buddy looked at the back of his head and smiled "Friend" He said then went to sleep himself. The rat get don tossing and turning before finding the most conformable position.

As night starts to set in, Jhonny and Jimmy were getting ready for bed "Ya'know, I glad that we got the chance to babysit little Timothy" Jimmy said. "Yeah, I didn't think we had it in us" His brother replied.

Jamie was already sleeping, but threw an acorn at the back of his head. "I'm trying to sleep here" Johnny went ouch and rubbed the pain spot on his his while facing his sister from the side.

"Sorry, we'll try to be quiet" Jimmy said then Jamie scoffed before going back to sleep. "So, how about we ask Surly if we could permeantly be godparents" Johnny suggested.

"You sure, that's a little extreme for just one-time babysitters? Jimmy questioned their experience. "Mm, your probably right...I was just doing wishful thinking" Jhonny agreed with his doubt and they laughed it out, but kept the volume on the down-low.

Timothy was sleeping on Surly's stomach in a curled position when he opened his eyes, sat up and looked at his mother who was smacking his lips then carefully slid off before hitting the ground.

He tiptoed across the floor, towards the window then turned his head back when he thought Surly was about to wake up, but it was just him turning to his side.

"President, that was close" He wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued on. When he made it, he sat down on his knees and looked up at the moon as he rested his arms over each other.

He heard Surly yawn and woke up after feeling his son was not on his stomach "Timothy, why're you up...you should be sleeping" He said, but barely looking at him.

"I couldn't sleep knowing that my father is gone" He turned back to look at the moon. Surly smiled, got up, knowing he was tired and walked over. "Hey" Timothy turned him him who got on his level "he'll be here and when that happens then we're going to greet him with a big hug.

Timothy gave him a hug now before letting go "Thanks". "You wanna sit here and rest or come sleep with me? Surly gave him a choice. "Uhmmm, I rather sleep beside the door in case he comes home "The mouse said.

"Just what I was thinking" Surly patted his head and got up and walked to the bed then got some covers to bring back with him.

Once he did that, he sat back down and spread the big newspaper over both of them and gone right to sleep. Andie was alright with just sleeping alone, but sometimes she would get lonely, she was like Jamie except she is more violent then she was.

Still though, they could have some girl time together cause her brothers drive her crazy and making her the only reasonable one though she deals with this daily.

Back in the city, Buddy's eats twitched and got on up, sniffed the air and sat on up then looked at his friend to make a choice to stay or go invistigate the noice. so he shrugged him shoulders and laid back down.

He blocked out the noice, but it kept coming back into his hearing range so he decided to do something about it.

He didn't want to leave Grayson all alone cause he doesn't know the city as well as him plus Surly would be so disappointed and will most likely never talk to him for days, even months.

He started on his way down batman style and sniffed for the second time then wondered how his best friend would react.

Surly entrusted him to keep him safe so he climbed back up to wake him. He patted his cheek a little "Surly, is that you? He talked in his sleep and slowly puckered his lips, hoping to have a couple more kisses, but what he got was a few slaps across the face which caused him to open his eyes.

He wanted to scream at the unexpected, but Buddy covered his mouth and shushed him by putting one finger on his own mouth then displayed a listening hand signal.

Grayson indeed listened "I don't hear anything" He said before hearing a loud rumbling noice from far away. "What was that? He asked and Buddy helped his friend off of the ground and ran to the edge.

The squirrel ran next to him and said that it was dark out. Buddy jump down anyways and Grayson whimpered before jumping as well

The rat sensed Grayson the scard stiff on account of his chattering teeth so recommended that he hold onto his own tail to ease his fear level.

Buddy rolled his eyes and tiptoed away from the building with Grayson rushing up behind and looked from side to side while staying close to his temporary bodyguard.


I think we're almost done with this story, just one more chapter to go then next story will be focus on Timothy and Mr. Fang with Surly coping after Grayson's mysterious absence.

Expect some tragedy cause there is some if I'm gonna pull this off.
