Dawg parks his car next to a lab and Dawg, Cosmic, Bluey, and Bingo gets out of it.


Dawg: Alright, children. We're here.


Bluey: Woah. . .


Cosmic: Pretty big, huh? You'll get used to it.




Cosmic: So. . . what do you think?


Bluey: It's the first time I've ever seen the insides of a lab!


Cosmic: Heh, most people are. I'm Dawg's assistant. Why else would I be too busy washing the dishes in that conversation while you were hiding behind the green couch?


Bluey: Oh.


Dawg: Bingo, no! The CCTV's not for watching. They're for surveillance! Give the remote back!!!


Cosmic: So. .  about your parents. . .


Bluey: You told me that you would know them way back. Since when?


Cosmic: It was second grade.


Cosmic: Got any more questions?


Bluey: How did you and Camera became friends?


Cosmic: Hey, let me tell you a story of mine.


Cosmic: So, I moved out in here. Cleaning the dishes, mopping the floors. . .


Cosmic: It's kinda boring.


Cosmic: But then I noticed a greyish-purple house next to mine. It's where Camera lives.


Cosmic: I knocked on the door thinking that they're not home since it was in midnight.


Cosmic: Knock knock.


Cosmic: But unexpectedly, I heard a woman's voice.


???: Who's there?


Cosmic: Dishes.


???: Dishes who?


Cosmic: Dishes a very bad joke.


Cosmic: And then, she howls in laughter like it's the best joke she's ever heard in years.


Cosmic: So, I keep them coming. And she keeps laughing. She's the best audience I've ever had.


Cosmic: Of course, she was staying quiet to not wake her kids up. But I understand that.


Cosmic: After a dozen of them, she knocks and says. . .


???: Knock knock.


Cosmic: Who's there?


???: Old lady.


Cosmic: Heh. Old lady who?


???: Oh! I did not know you could yodel.


Cosmic: Needless to say, this women was extremely good.


Cosmic: We kept telling each other's jokes for hours until the sun rises.


Cosmic: But she told me to come by every midnight.


Cosmic: And so I did. And then again. And again.


Cosmic: It's a thing now. Telling bad jokes through the door while others were sleeping.


Cosmic: And then, she gave me this.

Cosmic shows a golden locket to Bluey.


Bluey: Cool! What's that for?


Cosmic: It's used to store a photo or other small items that's memorable to the one who wears it.


Cosmic: Welp, that's all.

Cosmic gets off the chair.


Bluey: Where are you going?


Cosmic: Home. I know the roads in the back of my head so it's no problem walking there.


Cosmic: Snappy might be missing me while I wasn't home or just mad that I wasn't doing any chore for the house.


Cosmic: Take care of yourself and don't do anything destructive here.

Cosmic walks away and the lab doors open.


Cosmic: Cuz someone really cares about you.


Cosmic glances at Bluey behind him and smiles.

Cosmic: . . .Even if separated.


Cosmic steps out of the lab, leaving Bluey confused.


Bluey: What does he mean by that?
