It is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion insects alive

at any one time. But forget about them.

This is about me, Lloyd. I'm a fly!

Abacus, you can experience flying without the need for wings.

Whoo-hoo! I don't know.

Whoo-hoo! I don't want to break anything.

What can you possibly break? It's made of sponge.

Unh.

What in compost is going on in here?

I'm so sorry. I was out of control.

We're bouncing on the furniture. You should give it a try.

It's surprisingly fun, even though I can fly.

Brilliant.

Oh, no.

Like Abacus, we learnt the hard way,

no bouncing in the house.

Aw.

When you have your own place, you can bounce your heart out.

But not under this roof.

Ugh, fine.

We'll go outside to bounce.

That's the spirit, son. As soon as you've done the dishes.

Oh! Why can't PB do them?

Dishes are on your list.

I've done all my chores, so I can do whatever I want.

Ugh.

I'll help dry.

Aw, thanks, Abacus. And then we bounce!

Oh, it's no good. I-I-I can't enough bounce.

Well it was worth a try.

I mean, why do Mum and Dad even have soft chairs

if not for bouncing?

Comfort, maybe?

They just enjoy ruining my fun.

What other explanation is there?

Comfort is the only one I can think of.

It's just not fair.

Am I to live a bounce-free,

chore-filled life until I find a place of my own? Ow!

Aaaah! Abacus, do you know what this is?

A grape? It's not just a grape, Abacus.

This is a place to call our own.

Imagine it, two besties, no rules, no chores.

Just pure, nonstop fun!

You mean, move in together?

Yep.

Let's do it!

Dibs! Dibs!

Ah, here we go. Nice neighbourhood. Good views.

Shall we?

Sorry. Grape makes my tummy ache.

Now he says. Fine.

Mm.

Mm. Mm. Mm.

Ooh.

Ha ha.

So, I'm off then.

Moving on. Moving out.

Don't try and stop me. My mind's made up.

Good bye family.

Eh?

Ah. Ooh.

This will always be your home.

Thanks, Mum. Bye.

Visit often. Bye.

We'll miss you.

It's perfect.

Oh, no. Lloyd. Did you eat too much grape?

High... five. High five.

Sorry. That was a lot of grape.

Now, let's move in.

Hmm? Oh.

Oh.

A perfect fit. Let's get the rest.

OK, Abacus, move your stuff in, and then come help with mine.

Ugh! Oh, thank goodness. I thought we'd never see you again.

I know it's hard to accept, but I've left home.

Please try and respect...

Whoo, my cream blobs are still there.

Let's get you back.

We bought you some grape warming gifts.

Oh, I like what you've done with the place.

Oh, I'd like my desk back when you're finished with it.

What? W... We'll never be finished with it.

This is where we live now. Forever.

I know, love. See you soon.

Thank you for the crumbs, Mrs Lloyd.

Our first meal in our new home.

I'm just glad it's not. Grape.

You know, this grape is surprisingly spacious when you think about it.

Yes, if you think really hard.

It's just all about placement, flow, balance.

See, if we move all of this big, heavy furniture to this side,

it'll make more space for my stuff over here.

On the subject of balance, I'm not sure...

Ah! There we go.

Placement, flow, and most importantly, balance.

Oh.

Home sweet home. Nothing but good times from here on out.

I'm gonna write about it all in my diary.

I never knew you kept a diary, Abacus.

We're learning so much about each other already.

"Dear diary, today I moved in

"with my best friend..."

And now, I'm learning that you write your diary out loud.

It helps me concentrate. Is it bothering you?

No. No.

"We dibsed a lovely grape

"and made it a..."

Well, maybe a little. Could you write a tiny bit quieter?

Oh. Of course, housemate.

"..and made it a home."

Don't forget to mention all the grape I ate.

I'm a real homemaker.

"We found a lovely spot and moved in straightaway."

The grape, Abacus. I ate lots of grape.

G-R-A-P-E.

"It was a really fun grape, I mean, day."

There's gonna be nothing but fun days from now on, housemate.

Gah, I'm so excited. I don't think I can even sleep.

Right, Abacus?

Abacus?

I can't sleep, Abacus. Huh.

This is a good home.

Whoo-hoo! Good morning, sleepy bug.

Today is our first day of pure, nonstop fun!

Uh-oh. What happened?

Oh. I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd get us settled in.

Unpack some comics, make it feel like home.

Right. Breakfast time.

Hmm. Hm.

I suppose we don't have any. Other than grape. Ick!

We need to scavenge our own food now that we have our own place.

Mm. I can do that. Could be fun. You settle in, I'll sort breakfast.

Oh.

Oh. Hello, PB. Nice of you to visit.

Thought I'd come see how you and Lloyd are coping,

living away from home together. Terribly, I imagine.

Well... Uh, no.

We're doing fine, thank you, PB.

Abacus and I are having loads of nonstop fun doing whatever we...

Abacus, what have you done? Where are my comics?

Here. I thought I'd tidy up a bit.

What? Tidying is a chore.

We don't do chores anymore.

How am I supposed to find stuff if it is not where I left it?

Ugh. Ugh. Stop making a mess.

It's not a mess. Stop tidying.

You're back early. Where's breakfast?

Oh. I must have eaten that.

Mine, too?

Eh, I guess so. Or I forgot. I was surprisingly hungry.

I live here, too, you know. This was supposed to be fun.

Hmm.

It is. This is fun. Look? We couldn't do this before.

Now we can bounce all we want.

Lloyd, stop that. It's not stable.

Oh, not you, too. We fixed the grape.

You're as bad as my parents.

Oh, that reminds me.

Mum and Dad want their chair back. Can I take it home for them?

Yes, whatever. Take it.

Cool. Thanks. I'll leave you to have fun arguing.

Is PB right, Lloyd? Are we arguing?

We... are... already.

I thought it'd be so much fun living with my best friend,

but I'm not having much fun.

Me neither. Does that mean we can't be friends anymore?

Ahh!

Ahh!

Hang on a minute, Abacus. I've got an I--

Ahh!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

No. We can still be friends.

Can we?

We just can't live together.

Best friends who don't live together?

Yes. Hmm.

I'm sorry I ate your breakfast.

I'm sorry I tidied your mess.

There. Everything back as it should be.

See you tomorrow? Yes.

And not a moment before.

Sounds good to me.
