NOT! Got you there! It's an extra Jellies fanfic! Bet you didn't see that coming! Now, let's dive into Jellies House Sitting Cockroach Adventure!
It was a typical day in Walla Walla Washington. As much to be expected. At the mansion where Mayor Jenkins lived. Mayor Jenkins woke up at the crack of dawn. He got his coffee. As soon as Mayor Jenkins went back into his bedroom he sees a huge long cockroach crawling on the walls of his bedroom.
"DAMN! Son of a bitch! What did the FUCK did he come from!" exclaimed Mayor Jenkins. In order to earn some extra money for a trip he was going on to see his estranged son and divorced wife in West Virginia. Mayor Jenkins had Marvin the Whale move in with him for a while to pay rent.
Frantic, not knowing what to do. Mayor Jenkins tried everything he could to get rid of the cockroach with no luck at all.
Because he thought his age was catching up to him, Major Jenkins was scared to try to kill the cockroach with his shoe or even to bend down thinking he was going to injure himself. Desperate. "I hate these cockroach motherfuckers! If I don't kill him soon I won't be able to sleep tonight before my big trip tommorow!"
Not knowing what else to do. Mayor Jenkins goes to the door of the guest bedroom where Marvin the Whale was sleeping and knocks on it. Marvin the Whale was already awake as soon as he got out of the bathroom.
"Mayor Jankins, sir! I'm up!" Marvin stood up. "That's 'Jenkins' pronounce it right!" Mayor Jenkins spurted off. "Okay. Sorry, Leonard." apologized Marvin The Whale. "YO! You can't call me by my first name either!"
Leading Marvin the Whale into his bedroom. "Come follow me!" Mayor Jenkins explains on the way, "A cockroach was walking up my walls! Then he fell onto my bed, onto the desk and...." before Mayor Jenkins can explain any further, he sees the cockroack on the floor crawling around.
"Marvin, you're a whale. You're one of the biggest mammal motherfuckers ever! You kill that cockroach! If I did it, I could throw out my back and be in pain for days. You know I ain't gettin' any fuckin' younger!" Mayor Jenkins tells Marvin.
The cockroach was in a corner. Marvin the Whale tries to squish it in the corner with his tail. Despite his huge tail, the cockroach still ran away. Marvin the Whale still tried to catch the cockroach now crawling really fast on the floor. No luck. The cockroach disappeared into the opening on the floor where the desk was.
"SHIT! NOW I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT AND CATCH MY FLIGHT!" Mayor Jenkins screamed. Then Mayor Jenkins sat on his bed. Deeply saddened. Marvin The Whale tried to reassure him. However Mayor Jenkins looks down on the floor. Silent. Quiet. Miserable. Sorrowful. Like he was on the verge of sobbing.
With spite and anger in his eye, Mayor Jenkins asks Marvin The Whale, "WHY THE FUCK WEREN'T YOU FAST ENOUGH!?!?!"
Putting on a brave face although the large whale was terrified on the inside Marvin says, "It'll come back around. Then I'll be ready for it!"
"The hell you will!" Stood Mayor Jenkins now sounding off at Marvin. "Are you aware if there was a nuclear war going on when fucking humanity is wiped out. The only things that will survive are those shit faced cockroaches?!"
"Geez, you have been watching Mimic and Joe's Apartment way too much!" Marvin implicited.
"Whatever the hell that means! Anyway, you owe me rent for the month! Not to mention more money for my trip!" Mayor Jenkins holds out his hand to Marvin who hands him $300.
"Here you go..." Marvin the Whale says. "Anything else I can do?" "NO! I'll go find someone more capable to help me kill that cockroach." "Why are you going on vacation?" Marvin asks.
"Not that it's any of your business, but I have to go to a Custody Hearing in West Virginia to get my son away from my bitch ex-wife!" Mayor Jenkins said.
"Fine. Good luck and...."Marvin says about to be cut off by Mayor Jenkins. "GTFO! WHICH MEANS GET THE FUCK OUT!"
Wallowing in self pity feeling awful that he wasn't able to help Mayor Jenkins kill the cockroach. Marvin the Whale packs his things and leaves. Going to his phone, Mayor Jenkins decides to call Barry Jelly.
"Now that I got my extra $300, I can leave for my trip sooner. And I'll give Barry an offer he can't refuse!" Mayor Jenkins schemed.

At the Jellies residence. Barry hears the phone ringing and he goes to grab it. "Hello, Jelly residence." Barry answers. On the other end Mayor Jenkins says, "Barry! Just the Jellyfish I'm looking for!"
"Damn Leonard!? What can I do for you?" Barry asks. "You see I'm going on a trip to the other side of the country...." Mayor Jenkins spoke. "Yes." Barry responds.
"I was wondering if you and your family would like to house sit for me until I get back." Mayor Jenkins declares.
"House sit? Us! Yes! We'll do it!" Barry said with pride. "Good thing I'm a rich mayor. If you house sit for me and take care of everything, and I mean everything. I'll pay you $2500!" Mayor Jenkins says.
"MAN! DAWG! We accept!" Barry said. When Mayor Jenkins and Barry hang up the phone. Debbie, Cornell, and KY walk into the living room. "What did you accept?" Debbie asked with suspicion.
"Mayor Jenkins is going to the East Coast and he offered for us to stay in his mansion while he's gone!" Barry said cheerfully! "Wow? A mansion! We'll be living like Lifestyle Of The Rich and Famous!" Debbie says.
"I can almost feel the hype of this now! Staying in the Mayor's Mansion! Dude! RG and Reggie are going to be so jealous of me!" Cornell talks out loud running into his bedroom to pack his things.
"Who knows. Maybe this can lead to us having our own reality show. I can almost picture it now. Real Families of Walla Walla" KY added on who too was excited for this opportunity.
At the Mayor's Mansion. Mayor Jenkins was in his car and leaving for his trip. Thinking deeply to himself Mayor Jenkins talks in his head, "That fucking cockroach is their problem now." Barry was watching. "All right, he's gone! We're going!"
After a matter of moments, the Jellies had their things packed and were now on their way to the Mayor's Mansion. Cornell asks, "Hey, Dad! While we're there. You can be like Martin Lawrence in Big Momma's House!"
"No, nothing like that. We're just house sitting. This is not on an undercover mission." Barry impeeds. "Didn't Sinbad star in a movie about house sitting?" asked Cornell.
"Wrong, that was Steve Martin, baby. Sinbad was on House Guest." Debbie corrected her adopted son. "Now he's depending on us to be responsible. So let's not get all wild." KY said.
Cornell groans at KY, "Damn! Who died and made you Queen of Morality?" "It's the home of a respected political figure. Even if he is the local mayor. He'll get really mad at us if we don't treat his house with high regard." KY said.
"You're right KY. We'll leave everything untouched. We'll also clean for him while he's away." Debbie said. Upon arriving at Mayor Jenkins' mansion. Cornell asks, "Can I invite RG and Reggie for a sleepover?" "Maybe not. Let's just have this be a family thing." Barry said Cornell.
"You're the boss, Dad. Whatever you say goes." Cornell says rolling his eyes. "Like KY just said.....besides I would not trust those friends of yours in a place like this." Debbie says.
KY walks by Cornell, "Hell, I would not even trust _my_ friends in a place like this. Let alone yours."

Their first day at the Mayor's mansion was idyllic. Barry and Debbie were dancing in kitchen together, embracing their romantic past.
"Lord have Mercy, Debbie! Does this remind you of anything!" Barry asks. "The days we first meet in college!" Debbie recounted.
"We went to that dance in our university gymansium!! Barry says. "Oh yes! That is when we first fell in love!" Debbie says.
In the living room. Cornell was watching the huge QLED television. "Now this is living! You get get Youtube on this TV!" Cornell exclaimed.
Going on Youtube, Cornell spoke into the remote, "Schnookums and Meat!" When the QLED was showing Schookums and Meat Cornell was having fun.
"Always like the Pith Possum and Tex Tinstar moments!" Cornell says. KY walks in and asks, "No way! This gets Youtube? Speaking of 90's stuff. By any chance, does it have Melrose Place reruns?"
The Jellies house sitting was going well so far. They lived there the same way they lived in their own house. They also did some cleaning. Vacuuming, mopping, and laundry. When it was time to go to bed. Cornell and KY slept in the living room while Barry and Debbie slept in the guest room. It was Barry's idea.
"Why couldn't we have slept in his room?" asked Debbie. "Maybe it's better this way." Barry says. "Oh I see so we won't have sex in his bed." Debbie spoke. "Exactly. If we did he never would ask us to house sit for him again." Barry implies.
"That sounds fair." Debbie agrees. Their first night at the Mayor's Mansion proved to be a success. The next morning. Barry and Debbie get ready for their day. As soon as they were about to get dressed, Barry sees a little black bug run around.
"Uhhh, Debbie. Do mansions have pest control problems?" Barry asks. Debbie wonders. "Why do you say that?" "Because there's a cockroach in this room!" Barry yelps.
"Damn! You're right! Cockroach! Cockroach! Cockroach!" Debbie panics.
"Let's not be like Ashton Kutcher and Britney Murphy! Let's kill this son of a bitch!" Barry said. "you're on!" Debbie shouted.
As KY and Cornell was going into the laundry room. The washer was done washing their clothes. KY gets the wet clothes out of the washing machine.
"See little brother. We can have both." KY tells Cornell. "Both of what?" Cornell asks. "Have fun and be responsible at the same time." KY informed.
"Yeah, you're right." Cornell agrees with reluctance. An hour later. Barry and Debbie were still chasing the cockroach. "We're jellyfish! You'd think we have an advantage over this cockroach!" Barry yells with frustration.
"It keeps getting away everytime!" Debbie yells. KY goes to check on the laundry and sees the dryer is cold and the clothes are damp and soppy. "What the hell!" KY says.
Cornell runs into the guest bedroom and Debbie and Barry are. "MOM! DAD! What's going on?"
"We're trying to kill a cockroach!" Barry said. "Stay back! Maybe I can help!" Cornell says.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Barry, Debbie, and Cornell all stood frozen in the guest bedroom. The cockroach had vanished under the bed, leaving only tension and a broken lamp in its wake.
“Alright, let me at it!” Cornell shouted, jumping onto the bed with reckless enthusiasm. “I play video games—I’ve got quick reflexes!”
Barry stood nearby, gripping a broom like a weapon. “Reflexes ain’t gonna help if you crack the damn marble floor,” he warned, sweat on his brow and frustration creeping into his voice.
Debbie, still holding a heavy Chicken Soup for the Soul book like a fly swatter, surveyed the damage. “We already knocked over that lamp,” she muttered. “Mayor Jenkins probably imported that from Tuscany or some fancy-ass place.”
As Cornell pounded on the mattress to flush out the bug, the cockroach suddenly darted out, zig-zagging toward the hallway like it had trained for this moment its whole life.
“Shit! It’s making a break for it!” Barry yelled, and the chase resumed.
They tore down the hallway. Cornell hurled a decorative pillow like it was a javelin. It flew through the air, striking the wall and knocking down a framed painting.
“Oh my god!” Debbie screamed. “That was a Monet!”
“Was a Monet. Past tense,” Cornell groaned.
“No one breathe a word of this. EVER,” Barry said sternly as they pursued the insect into the kitchen.
It zipped under the fridge, disappearing again. Barry dove to the floor, fumbling under the sink and pulling out a half-empty can of bug spray. Debbie swung her broom into the side of a cabinet, trying to scare it out—but instead, she clipped the spice rack. The entire thing came crashing down, and glass jars of turmeric, paprika, and oregano shattered on the floor.
“Oh great! Now it smells like an Indian buffet exploded in here,” Barry said.
“Jenkins is gonna come back to a turmeric crime scene,” Debbie added, exasperated.
Cornell stood up and scratched his head. “Okay, okay—Plan B! Lure it out with sugar?”
“That’s ants, dumbass!” Barry snapped.
Meanwhile, in the laundry room, KY stood staring into the dryer. She pulled out a pile of clothes that were still wet and cold, her expression going from puzzled to horrified.
“Uhhh… y’all…” she called out. “The dryer’s dead. Completely cold. Like ‘never-been-loved’ kind of cold.”
Back in the kitchen, Barry was lying on the tile floor trying to block off the gap under the stove with a towel.
“If I can’t kill it, I’ll at least trap it in here!” he said, grunting with effort.
KY walked in, holding the soggy laundry in her arms. “You guys, the dryer’s broken. All our clothes are soaked. And they’re starting to smell like pickled foot fungus.”
Cornell came running in behind her. “MOM! DAD! What’s going on?”
Barry, panting, answered, “We’re trying to kill a cockroach! Stay back!”
“Let me at them!!” Cornell said, ready to join the madness again. “It’s like this bug is invincible,” Debbie snapped. “Every time we get close, it zips off like it’s got roller skates like the musical Xanadu!”
Barry gritted his teeth. “We’re jellyfish! You’d think we have an advantage over a damn bug!”
“It keeps getting away every single time!” Debbie said, nearly slipping on spilled cumin.
KY, meanwhile, had enough. “If this cockroach had a TikTok account, it would go viral by now. It’s outsmarting us.”
Suddenly, the cockroach made another grand appearance sprinting across the countertop and directly across the touchscreen control panel of the smart oven.
BEEP! BEEP! OVEN PREHEATING TO 500°F.
“Oh hell no!” Barry shouted. “It’s trying to burn us alive now!”
“Does anyone else feel like this cockroach is smarter than we are?” KY said, stepping backward in awe.
Cornell nodded grimly. “It’s like it knows Jenkins is gone. This is its turf now.”
The whole family stood in silence, panting, looking around at the wrecked kitchen. There was shattered glass, spilled spices, a busted spice rack, an expensive broken lamp, a cracked picture frame, a Monet that was now a “maybe,” and a laundry room full of soppy underwear.
Debbie was the first to break the silence. “You think Marvin the Whale went through this?”
Barry stared off blankly. “I think Marvin left because of this.” "Wait, how do you guys know Marvin went thorugh this?" Cornell asks.
"We heard him complain about it when we were at the grocery store." Barry answered.
They all looked at each other. Reality was setting in.
“Alright,” KY said firmly. “New plan. We call an exterminator before this house ends up in ashes.”
“And a handyman for the dryer,” Cornell added.
“And an art restorer for the Monet…” Barry sighed.
Debbie exhaled heavily. “You mean the ‘formerly’ Monet.”
And with that, the Jellies took a moment to gather themselves. It was only Day Two of house sitting, and already they were in over their heads.

The phone rang. Barry goes to get it. "Hello?" It was Mayor Jenkins on the other end. "Hey, Barry!" Mayor Jenkins says. "Leonard! Hey!" Barry greets.
"How is everything going since I left you and your family in charge?" Mayor Jenkins asks. "Good Great!" Barry answered. Mayor Jenkins continues, "Say hear me out. I'm coming back to Walla Walla this time tommrow! OKay?" "Sure thing. OKay bye." Barry and Mayor Jenkins both hung up the phone.
"Even more trouble now!" Barry tells his family. "What now? What hasn't happened that already did?" KY asks her father.
"Just got off the phone with Leonard. He's coming back in 24 hours!" Barry said with panic.
"Oh no! How are we going to clean up this mess until then?" Debbie voiced her concerns.
"If he comes back to this mess, he'll never trust us again." KY reminded.
"You know what. Maybe it's time I get my friends involved." Cornell speaks out.
"What are you talking about? You think Reggie and RG are capable of helping us out with this mess?" Barry asks.
"Think realistically for once in your life!" KY adds. "No no. Hear me out." Cornell said.
"Let's hear what he has to say." Debbie chided. "you guys said this is 'family only' right? I happen to know that RG's Mom is a house cleaner. RG's Dad is a exterminator. Not only that, Reggie's Uncle is a repairman." Cornell explains.
"Repairman for what?" Debbie snarks. Cornell trying to reassure his family says, "For anything. He's a jack of all trades so to speak."
"It's cool that you're trying to help and all." KY said to Cornell. "Yeah, but there's one minor detail you forgot about." Debbie says. "What's that?" Cornell asks.
"Cha-" as Debbie was about to say anything more, the cockroach runs under her legs giving her a scare. Cornell noted, "You were going to say, cha-ching. I know. But there's one minor detail YOU all forgot about."
KY questions, "What could that be?" "Since they're my friends relatives. They can fix all this stuff up for free!" Cornell cheers. The cockroach was running circles around the Jellies family. That's when Barry decides to take a stand.
"All right! That's it! We're calling RG's parents and Reggie's uncle!"
Cornell gives them the phone numbers. Barry goes to call RG's parents and Reggie's uncle. "Oh, RG's Mom is really good at fixing paintings. Just throwing that outt here." Cornell says with hope.

Hours had passed. The Jellies were growing more nervous as tension filled the air of the mansion of Mayor Leonard Jenkins.
"Do your friends parents or whatever usually take THIS long?" KY snipped at Cornell. "How would I know." Cornell spits back.
"When I called them they said they'd be here after 3. It's way over 3!" Barry complains. "People just don't want to work anymore!" Debbie yelled. Looking out the front door, still no sign. Cornell began to regret suggesting RG's parents and Reggie's uncle to help them clean the mess they caused. KY notices her brother's disapointment.
"Don't beat yourself up. You know from past experience that repairmen are never on time like they say they are....." KY tells Cornell. "I'm not it's just...." Cornell talks about
Then as they all least expect it. Cornell hears the sound of a car horn. Running to the sound, KY jokes, "We should call him Pavlov's human!"
Cornell sees two trucks. One for extermination. One for house cleaning. And one for appliance repair.
"They're here! They're here!" Cornell announced. Barry and Debbie let them in. "KY! Go hide in the guest bedroom with Cornell!" Barry ordered his kids.
"God Damn! Barry! Why do you always do that? They're not ALF!" said Debbie giving his husband the third degree. "Sorry, it's a reflex! My Dad always told me to go into my room when people come out to fix things." shrugged Barry
KY and Cornell follow their Dad's order and go into the guest bedroom. In a fast musical montage. RG's Dad killed the cockroach while his RG's Mom fixed up everything in the house that was broken. Including the Monet. In the basement, Reggie's uncle was fixing the dryer which turned out to have a ton of lint in it.
When everything was fixed and the cockroach was dead. RG's parents and Reggie's uncle left the Mayor Mansion. Just as Cornell predicted. Because Cornell was friends with RG and Reggie, Debbie and Barry didn't have to pay a dime.
"Why damn! Cornell was right! They didn't charge us at all!" Barry said. "They really came through for us!" Debbie says being impressed with the fixtures that were made and the dead cockroach too. Which Debbie bured with a matchbook.
"Take that you son of a bitch! For ruining our job as housesitters!" Debbie screams. KY and Cornell get out of the guest bedroom. "Is it over?" KY asks.
"Yes it is. And thank you, Cornell! It's because of you we cleaned up this mess!" Barry tells his adopted son. "See? I told you it was going to be free!" Cornell responds. "Always pays to have friends." KY adds on.
"So it's going to be 24 hours until Mayor Leonard comes home. What should we do now?" asked Debbie. "Let's have Cornell decide." Barry announces.
For the next 24 hours. Cornell, Barry, Debbie, and KY all hung out at Cornell's favorite places. The Walla Walla Mall, Pioneer Park, the Downtown area, and ate at Bacon and Eggs.
The time has come for Mayor Leonard Jenkins to come back to his mansion. Once he comes in through that door, the Jellies had their things packed ready to go home.
"IIIIIMMMMMMM BBBBAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKK!" Mayor Jenkins announces himself.
"Mayor Jenkins! Welcome home!" Debbie greets the mayor. "Yep the house is the same as you left it!" Barry points out.
"Why thank you so much. Oh and I have even more good news." Mayor Jenkins says as he grabs a stroller with a baby in it. "I got sole custody of my son! Say hello to Leo!"
"Leo! Awesome name! We were going to name a dog that once." Cornell responded. "Sadly, someone else got the dog before we did." KY recalls.
Barry, Debbie, Cornell, and KY all cooed at the baby. As Mayor Jenkins pays Barry to housesit for him. The Jellies say their final farewells to Mayor Jenkins and went back home.
Mayor Jenkins puts his new son Leo in the guest bedroom. "From now on you'll be living with me. I prefer you live with me instead of a fucking cockroach! Hope the Jellies killed it while I was away! Anyway, Since I'm a single Dad, I'm going to need a nanny."
Going on the phone Mayor Jenkins calls Marvin the Whale. "Hello? Marvin! How would you like to be a nanny to my son while I'm away at work?" On the other end Marvin was perplexed as to why Mayor Jenkins wants to give him another chance because of the cockroach incident.
"You really want to hire me? After you got upset with me for not 86ing that cockroach?" Marvin the Whale says with his voice cracking.
"I decided to give you another chance. Come on over in thirty minutes and we'll discuss it." Mayor Jenkins says over the phone as he hung up.
"While I'm away at work, your nanny is going to be a whale! Would you like that little Leo?" Mayor Jenkins cooing his baby son.
Waiting for Marvin the Whale to come over to agree to be a Nanny for baby Leo. Mayor Jenkins bonds with and talks to his son. Also reflecting on what a great job The Jellies did with house sitting. Thus having no clue what disaster had happened in his mansion while Jenkins was away. "If that Marvin asshole fails me again, would you like to have a Jellyfish family watch over you instead?"
When I discovered Star Vs The Forces of Evil I can't bring myself to watch The Loud House anymore and.........

NOT! Got you there! It's an extra Jellies fanfic! Bet you didn't see that coming! Now, let's dive into Jellies House Sitting Cockroach Adventure!
It was a typical day in Walla Walla Washington. As much to be expected. At the mansion where Mayor Jenkins lived. Mayor Jenkins woke up at the crack of dawn. He got his coffee. As soon as Mayor Jenkins went back into his bedroom he sees a huge long cockroach crawling on the walls of his bedroom.
"DAMN! Son of a bitch! What did the FUCK did he come from!" exclaimed Mayor Jenkins. In order to earn some extra money for a trip he was going on to see his estranged son and divorced wife in West Virginia. Mayor Jenkins had Marvin the Whale move in with him for a while to pay rent.

Their first day at the Mayor's mansion was idyllic. Barry and Debbie were dancing in kitchen together, embracing their romantic past.
"Lord have Mercy, Debbie! Does this remind you of anything!" Barry asks. "The days we first meet in college!" Debbie recounted.
"We went to that dance in our university gymansium!! Barry says. "Oh yes! That is when we first fell in love!" Debbie says.
In the living room. Cornell was watching the huge QLED television. "Now this is living! You get get Youtube on this TV!" Cornell exclaimed.
Going on Youtube, Cornell spoke into the remote, "Schnookums and Meat!" When the QLED was showing Schookums and Meat Cornell was having fun.
"Always like the Pith Possum and Tex Tinstar moments!" Cornell says. KY walks in and asks, "No way! This gets Youtube? Speaking of 90's stuff. By any chance, does it have Melrose Place reruns?"
The Jellies house sitting was going well so far. They lived there the same way they lived in their own house. They also did some cleaning. Vacuuming, mopping, and laundry. When it was time to go to bed. Cornell and KY slept in the living room while Barry and Debbie slept in the guest room. It was Barry's idea.
"Why couldn't we have slept in his room?" asked Debbie. "Maybe it's better this way." Barry says. "Oh I see so we won't have sex in his bed." Debbie spoke. "Exactly. If we did he never would ask us to house sit for him again." Barry implies.
"That sounds fair." Debbie agrees. Their first night at the Mayor's Mansion proved to be a success. The next morning. Barry and Debbie get ready for their day. As soon as they were about to get dressed, Barry sees a little black bug run around.
"Uhhh, Debbie. Do mansions have pest control problems?" Barry asks. Debbie wonders. "Why do you say that?" "Because there's a cockroach in this room!" Barry yelps.
"Damn! You're right! Cockroach! Cockroach! Cockroach!" Debbie panics.
"Let's not be like Ashton Kutcher and Britney Murphy! Let's kill this son of a bitch!" Barry said. "you're on!" Debbie shouted.
As KY and Cornell was going into the laundry room. The washer was done washing their clothes. KY gets the wet clothes out of the washing machine.
"See little brother. We can have both." KY tells Cornell. "Both of what?" Cornell asks. "Have fun and be responsible at the same time." KY informed.
"Yeah, you're right." Cornell agrees with reluctance. An hour later. Barry and Debbie were still chasing the cockroach. "We're jellyfish! You'd think we have an advantage over this cockroach!" Barry yells with frustration.
"It keeps getting away everytime!" Debbie yells. KY goes to check on the laundry and sees the dryer is cold and the clothes are damp and soppy. "What the hell!" KY says.
Cornell runs into the guest bedroom and Debbie and Barry are. "MOM! DAD! What's going on?"
"We're trying to kill a cockroach!" Barry said. "Stay back! Maybe I can help!" Cornell says.

Barry, Debbie, and Cornell all stood frozen in the guest bedroom. The cockroach had vanished under the bed, leaving only tension and a broken lamp in its wake.
“Alright, let me at it!” Cornell shouted, jumping onto the bed with reckless enthusiasm. “I play video games—I’ve got quick reflexes!”
Barry stood nearby, gripping a broom like a weapon. “Reflexes ain’t gonna help if you crack the damn marble floor,” he warned, sweat on his brow and frustration creeping into his voice.
Debbie, still holding a heavy Chicken Soup for the Soul book like a fly swatter, surveyed the damage. “We already knocked over that lamp,” she muttered. “Mayor Jenkins probably imported that from Tuscany or some fancy-ass place.”
As Cornell pounded on the mattress to flush out the bug, the cockroach suddenly darted out, zig-zagging toward the hallway like it had trained for this moment its whole life.
“Shit! It’s making a break for it!” Barry yelled, and the chase resumed.
They tore down the hallway. Cornell hurled a decorative pillow like it was a javelin. It flew through the air, striking the wall and knocking down a framed painting.
“Oh my god!” Debbie screamed. “That was a Monet!”
“Was a Monet. Past tense,” Cornell groaned.
“No one breathe a word of this. EVER,” Barry said sternly as they pursued the insect into the kitchen.
It zipped under the fridge, disappearing again. Barry dove to the floor, fumbling under the sink and pulling out a half-empty can of bug spray. Debbie swung her broom into the side of a cabinet, trying to scare it out—but instead, she clipped the spice rack. The entire thing came crashing down, and glass jars of turmeric, paprika, and oregano shattered on the floor.
“Oh great! Now it smells like an Indian buffet exploded in here,” Barry said.
“Jenkins is gonna come back to a turmeric crime scene,” Debbie added, exasperated.
Cornell stood up and scratched his head. “Okay, okay—Plan B! Lure it out with sugar?”
“That’s ants, dumbass!” Barry snapped.
Meanwhile, in the laundry room, KY stood staring into the dryer. She pulled out a pile of clothes that were still wet and cold, her expression going from puzzled to horrified.
“Uhhh… y’all…” she called out. “The dryer’s dead. Completely cold. Like ‘never-been-loved’ kind of cold.”
Back in the kitchen, Barry was lying on the tile floor trying to block off the gap under the stove with a towel.
“If I can’t kill it, I’ll at least trap it in here!” he said, grunting with effort.
KY walked in, holding the soggy laundry in her arms. “You guys, the dryer’s broken. All our clothes are soaked. And they’re starting to smell like pickled foot fungus.”
Cornell came running in behind her. “MOM! DAD! What’s going on?”
Barry, panting, answered, “We’re trying to kill a cockroach! Stay back!”
“Let me at them!!” Cornell said, ready to join the madness again. “It’s like this bug is invincible,” Debbie snapped. “Every time we get close, it zips off like it’s got roller skates like the musical Xanadu!”
Barry gritted his teeth. “We’re jellyfish! You’d think we have an advantage over a damn bug!”
“It keeps getting away every single time!” Debbie said, nearly slipping on spilled cumin.
KY, meanwhile, had enough. “If this cockroach had a TikTok account, it would go viral by now. It’s outsmarting us.”
Suddenly, the cockroach made another grand appearance sprinting across the countertop and directly across the touchscreen control panel of the smart oven.
BEEP! BEEP! OVEN PREHEATING TO 500°F.
“Oh hell no!” Barry shouted. “It’s trying to burn us alive now!”
“Does anyone else feel like this cockroach is smarter than we are?” KY said, stepping backward in awe.
Cornell nodded grimly. “It’s like it knows Jenkins is gone. This is its turf now.”
The whole family stood in silence, panting, looking around at the wrecked kitchen. There was shattered glass, spilled spices, a busted spice rack, an expensive broken lamp, a cracked picture frame, a Monet that was now a “maybe,” and a laundry room full of soppy underwear.
Debbie was the first to break the silence. “You think Marvin the Whale went through this?”
Barry stared off blankly. “I think Marvin left because of this.” "Wait, how do you guys know Marvin went thorugh this?" Cornell asks.
"We heard him complain about it when we were at the grocery store." Barry answered.
They all looked at each other. Reality was setting in.
“Alright,” KY said firmly. “New plan. We call an exterminator before this house ends up in ashes.”
“And a handyman for the dryer,” Cornell added.
“And an art restorer for the Monet…” Barry sighed.
Debbie exhaled heavily. “You mean the ‘formerly’ Monet.”
And with that, the Jellies took a moment to gather themselves. It was only Day Two of house sitting, and already they were in over their heads.

The phone rang. Barry goes to get it. "Hello?" It was Mayor Jenkins on the other end. "Hey, Barry!" Mayor Jenkins says. "Leonard! Hey!" Barry greets.
"How is everything going since I left you and your family in charge?" Mayor Jenkins asks. "Good Great!" Barry answered. Mayor Jenkins continues, "Say hear me out. I'm coming back to Walla Walla this time tommrow! OKay?" "Sure thing. OKay bye." Barry and Mayor Jenkins both hung up the phone.
"Even more trouble now!" Barry tells his family. "What now? What hasn't happened that already did?" KY asks her father.
"Just got off the phone with Leonard. He's coming back in 24 hours!" Barry said with panic.
"Oh no! How are we going to clean up this mess until then?" Debbie voiced her concerns.
"If he comes back to this mess, he'll never trust us again." KY reminded.
"You know what. Maybe it's time I get my friends involved." Cornell speaks out.
"What are you talking about? You think Reggie and RG are capable of helping us out with this mess?" Barry asks.
"Think realistically for once in your life!" KY adds. "No no. Hear me out." Cornell said.
"Let's hear what he has to say." Debbie chided. "you guys said this is 'family only' right? I happen to know that RG's Mom is a house cleaner. RG's Dad is a exterminator. Not only that, Reggie's Uncle is a repairman." Cornell explains.
"Repairman for what?" Debbie snarks. Cornell trying to reassure his family says, "For anything. He's a jack of all trades so to speak."
"It's cool that you're trying to help and all." KY said to Cornell. "Yeah, but there's one minor detail you forgot about." Debbie says. "What's that?" Cornell asks.
"Cha-" as Debbie was about to say anything more, the cockroach runs under her legs giving her a scare. Cornell noted, "You were going to say, cha-ching. I know. But there's one minor detail YOU all forgot about."
KY questions, "What could that be?" "Since they're my friends relatives. They can fix all this stuff up for free!" Cornell cheers. The cockroach was running circles around the Jellies family. That's when Barry decides to take a stand.
"All right! That's it! We're calling RG's parents and Reggie's uncle!"
Cornell gives them the phone numbers. Barry goes to call RG's parents and Reggie's uncle. "Oh, RG's Mom is really good at fixing paintings. Just throwing that outt here." Cornell says with hope.

Hours had passed. The Jellies were growing more nervous as tension filled the air of the mansion of Mayor Leonard Jenkins.
"Do your friends parents or whatever usually take THIS long?" KY snipped at Cornell. "How would I know." Cornell spits back.
"When I called them they said they'd be here after 3. It's way over 3!" Barry complains. "People just don't want to work anymore!" Debbie yelled. Looking out the front door, still no sign. Cornell began to regret suggesting RG's parents and Reggie's uncle to help them clean the mess they caused. KY notices her brother's disapointment.
"Don't beat yourself up. You know from past experience that repairmen are never on time like they say they are....." KY tells Cornell. "I'm not it's just...." Cornell talks about
Then as they all least expect it. Cornell hears the sound of a car horn. Running to the sound, KY jokes, "We should call him Pavlov's human!"
Cornell sees two trucks. One for extermination. One for house cleaning. And one for appliance repair.
"They're here! They're here!" Cornell announced. Barry and Debbie let them in. "KY! Go hide in the guest bedroom with Cornell!" Barry ordered his kids.
"God Damn! Barry! Why do you always do that? They're not ALF!" said Debbie giving his husband the third degree. "Sorry, it's a reflex! My Dad always told me to go into my room when people come out to fix things." shrugged Barry
KY and Cornell follow their Dad's order and go into the guest bedroom. In a fast musical montage. RG's Dad killed the cockroach while his RG's Mom fixed up everything in the house that was broken. Including the Monet. In the basement, Reggie's uncle was fixing the dryer which turned out to have a ton of lint in it.
When everything was fixed and the cockroach was dead. RG's parents and Reggie's uncle left the Mayor Mansion. Just as Cornell predicted. Because Cornell was friends with RG and Reggie, Debbie and Barry didn't have to pay a dime.
"Why damn! Cornell was right! They didn't charge us at all!" Barry said. "They really came through for us!" Debbie says being impressed with the fixtures that were made and the dead cockroach too. Which Debbie bured with a matchbook.
"Take that you son of a bitch! For ruining our job as housesitters!" Debbie screams. KY and Cornell get out of the guest bedroom. "Is it over?" KY asks.
"Yes it is. And thank you, Cornell! It's because of you we cleaned up this mess!" Barry tells his adopted son. "See? I told you it was going to be free!" Cornell responds. "Always pays to have friends." KY adds on.
"So it's going to be 24 hours until Mayor Leonard comes home. What should we do now?" asked Debbie. "Let's have Cornell decide." Barry announces.
For the next 24 hours. Cornell, Barry, Debbie, and KY all hung out at Cornell's favorite places. The Walla Walla Mall, Pioneer Park, the Downtown area, and ate at Bacon and Eggs.
The time has come for Mayor Leonard Jenkins to come back to his mansion. Once he comes in through that door, the Jellies had their things packed ready to go home.
"IIIIIMMMMMMM BBBBAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKK!" Mayor Jenkins announces himself.
"Mayor Jenkins! Welcome home!" Debbie greets the mayor. "Yep the house is the same as you left it!" Barry points out.
"Why thank you so much. Oh and I have even more good news." Mayor Jenkins says as he grabs a stroller with a baby in it. "I got sole custody of my son! Say hello to Leo!"
"Leo! Awesome name! We were going to name a dog that once." Cornell responded. "Sadly, someone else got the dog before we did." KY recalls.
Barry, Debbie, Cornell, and KY all cooed at the baby. As Mayor Jenkins pays Barry to housesit for him. The Jellies say their final farewells to Mayor Jenkins and went back home.
Mayor Jenkins puts his new son Leo in the guest bedroom. "From now on you'll be living with me. I prefer you live with me instead of a fucking cockroach! Hope the Jellies killed it while I was away! Anyway, Since I'm a single Dad, I'm going to need a nanny."
Going on the phone Mayor Jenkins calls Marvin the Whale. "Hello? Marvin! How would you like to be a nanny to my son while I'm away at work?" On the other end Marvin was perplexed as to why Mayor Jenkins wants to give him another chance because of the cockroach incident.
"You really want to hire me? After you got upset with me for not 86ing that cockroach?" Marvin the Whale says with his voice cracking.
"I decided to give you another chance. Come on over in thirty minutes and we'll discuss it." Mayor Jenkins says over the phone as he hung up.
"While I'm away at work, your nanny is going to be a whale! Would you like that little Leo?" Mayor Jenkins cooing his baby son.
Waiting for Marvin the Whale to come over to agree to be a Nanny for baby Leo. Mayor Jenkins bonds with and talks to his son. Also reflecting on what a great job The Jellies did with house sitting. Thus having no clue what disaster had happened in his mansion while Jenkins was away. "If that Marvin asshole fails me again, would you like to have a Jellyfish family watch over you instead?"
