Ben, Jeff and Jack were sitting on a bench. They had decided to meet up at least once every week and talk about random stuff. At the moment they were talking about moving to a house of their own.

"Are you crazy, or just stupid?" Jeff asked Eyeless.

"What do you mean?" Eyeless responded, tilting his head slightly.

"We're poor, we can't afford our own house."

"You mean You're poor." Ben corrected.

"You guys have money?" Jeff's eye twitched for a few seconds. "How?"

"I work for the...um..'weather factory'." Jack told him.

"And I work for the library." Ben looked at Jeff questioningly. "Don't you work for Pinkie?"

Jeff facehoofed. "I forgot that you usually got paid for jobs, so I kinda never questioned the fact I was never given any money."

"You're an idiot." Ben said, unamused.

Jeff rolled his eyes. "Tell me something I don't know."

"The sun and moon here don't raise naturally, they're raised by the magic of the two princesses of Equestria. Celestia raises the sun, while her younger sister Luna raises the moon and stars."

Jack and Jeff looked at him with blank expressions.

"I live in a library." More blank stares. He was also pretty sure he saw Eyeless blink from under his mask. "I also live with a princess."

"Oh yeah." Jeff was the first one to speak. "I forgot."

"Weren't we talking about something?" Eyeless reminded them.

They looked at each other and spoke at the same time. "Oh yeah."

"Well, I found a cheap house that happened to open up." Eyeless said, staring at Jeff.

Jeff smirked. "They were fun to kill, you're welcome by the way."

"Whatever, anyways, like I said, It's cheap 'cause no one wants to live someplace where someone was killed, so I figured we could buy it and stop living with normal ponies." Eyeless said the word normal with disgust.

"Sounds good to me, besides, the library is so boring." Ben agreed.

"So we're all agreed." Jeff said, getting up. "Okay then, let's get this over with." Jeff started walking when he was tapped on the shoulder. He looked over to see Ben.

"Jeff, Town hall is that way." He said, pointing in the opposite direction.

Jeff turned around. "I knew that." He walked a few feet before stopping.

Ben looked over at him. "What is it now?"

"Shouldn't we bring Brvr and Sally, since they're, you know, gonna be living with us?"

Ben tapped his chin in thought for a moment, then shrugged. "Nah, we'll pick 'em up after we're done."

                                                                           ~~~

After about 15 minutes of walking, they made it to Town hall. They were all standing there, just staring at it. Jeff nudged Ben. "You go first."

Ben shook his head. "No, E.J should go first, he was the one who suggested we come here."

E.J pushed Jeff ahead. "No, Jeff should go first, since he's the one who picked the house."

"I did not." Jeff whined, digging his hooves into the ground. "Besides, you're the one who suggested that we move in the first place, so you should be the first one inside."

"Can one of us just go in before it closes?" Ben interrupted.

They all looked at each other. After about another minute Jeff sighed. "Fine, but you guys are paying."

"Gladly." Eyeless said, following Jeff inside.

Jeff walked over to a desk where a receptionist was sitting, organizing papers or something. He stood there for a few seconds before clearing his throat.

She turned towards him. "Hello, how may I help you?"

"We wanna buy a house." Jeff answered simply.

"Oh, well, we have one house available, but you might not want that one, a pony was killed ther-"

"We'll take it." Jeff interrupted.

"Oh, well, okay." The pony shuffled through the papers for a few seconds before pushing one towards Jeff. "Sign here, please."

Jeff shoved E.J ahead of him. "I ain't paying."

E.J sighed and grabbed the pen at the receptionist's desk and scribbled his name down.

Jeff and Ben looked at the paper before the receptionist left, probably to talk with the one in charge. Jeff started snickering.

"What?" Eyeless asked.

"Your last name is Lumberjack." Jeff laughed loudly.

"Was." Eyeless corrected. "And it's not that funny."

Jeff didn't reply. He was laughing so hard he was literally rolling on the floor.

Ben kicked him in the stomach with his front hooves. "Get up, you look like you're mental or something."

Jeff sat up and stared at him "I am mental." He reminded him. "And also, Ow, don't be mean!" Jeff half yelled, rubbing the spot that Ben kicked.

"I know you are, but at least try to hide it in public, will ya?" Ben whispered to him. "Also, I didn't hit you that hard." He added, kicking Jeff in the wrist with his hind leg.

"Don't you two start." Eyeless growled from over his shoulder.

The receptionist came back and turned to E.J. "You've been approved to buy the house, that'll be 1,500 bits please."

Jeff groaned. "I thought you said it was cheap."

Eyeless glared back at him. "It is. It used to cost something like 20,000." He said, handing the correct amount of bits to the receptionist.

"Thank you." She handed a key to E.J. "Have a wonderful day." With that she started shuffling through the papers again.

When the three got outside Jeff gasped. "These houses have keys?"

Jack laughed a little. "I know, I always assumed the doors weren't able to be locked."

"Every house I've been to has been unlocked." Jeff commented.

Eyeless shrugged. "Maybe it's a new policy, considering the 'recent happenings'"

"It doesn't really matter, at least we'll be safe from any competition." Ben said, smiling. "Not that anyone would be dumb enough to compete with us."

They walked for a little before Eyeless turned to Jeff. "Hey, do you think you could pick up Sally and Brvr and meet us there, It's the house made out of a hollowed out tree."

Jeff nodded and walked in the direction of Sugarcube corner.

After a few seconds of silence Ben spoke up. "Wanna talk about him behind his back?"

"Don't we already do that?" Eyeless asked.

"Well, yeah, but we haven't done it in a while."

Jack laughed a little.

Ben raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"We haven't done it in a while?" Jack laughed.

"I meant we haven't talked about him in a while! Sheesh, your almost as bad as him."

Jack chuckled a little more before responding. "Whatever, we're almost there, anyways."
