"...What are you wearing?" The second boy asked Near, who frowned and looked at Mail in confusion - if Nate was the one who these kids knew as 'Near', these clothes would be normal.

"Shh!" Mail said frantically. "Please, they're right outside."

There was a sharp knock on the door then.

"Trick...Treat?" Came Roger's voice.

One of the two boys motioned toward the underside of his bed and Near quickly grabbed Mail and shoved him under there, before dodging under the other side as well.

Trick and Treat both laid back down and one of the two started mumbling, as if he was mumbling in his sleep.

The door opened and Roger poked his head in- looking at the two boys.

"...You'd better both be asleep." He warned.

The one above Matt continued to mumble a little and started to toss a turn.

"Sounds like another nightmare," Nancy commented, gently placing a hand on Roger's shoulder. "We should get Zero."

Roger sighed.

"If it's a prank, he can deal with it this time." Roger mumbled. "Go find Zero then."

He slipped out and closed the door.

The boy continued to mumble for a moment before they actually heard Roger and Nancy's footsteps leave. He then let it die down and poked his eyes open, before leaning down over the edge of the bed.

"So who are you, really?" He asked, peering in at Mail as his long waves of unruly hair spilled onto the floor. "My name's Trick and that's my brother, Treat. He's jumpy, sorry."

"No shit." Mail replied before checking on Near under the bed across from him.

Trick turned his head and peered at Near. "You look like the Near that dad talks about sometimes and this guy's the Matt from TV, right?"

"Dad?" Near inquired, obviously confused.

Mail was quiet before he snapped his fingers.

"Zero, right?" He smirked.

"That's him," Trick said, making Near frown even more. "And Far's my papa! Sometimes we call dad mama, but that's just to tease him!"

Treat looked over the side of his bed and look at Near curiously. His hair was different, but his eyes and face were the same as his brother's.

"Oh, well that explains a lot." Mail snorted.

Trick perked his head up, before he quickly bolted back into his bed as someone approached. Treat did the same and both boys laid still as the door was pushed open and Zero peeked in.

Mail was still- watching Zero with careful and not entirely trusting eyes.

"I know you both are awake," Zero informed as he slipped in and closed the door. "And you are hiding someone under your bed... Near, you can come out, I can see your friend's shoulder."

"Zero always had a keen eye," Near admitted, not moving.

"I'm not going to Roger," Zero sighed, his shoulders slumping. "And I know you can tell when I'm lying."

"I know that Zero isn't," Near informed, crawling out. "And now I know why Zero and Far stayed here."

"So this is Near?" Treat asked as he sat up.

Mail slipped out from under the bed.

"I'm glad you're on our side." Mail murmured. "It doesn't seem that friendly around here."
