Loonakids: Missing

Finally, I got this up! I hit such bad writer's block that I finally had to record an episode of "Good Luck Charlie" and base a lot of this story off of it and lot more of it off of other stuff so don't blame me for being unoriginal with this story because the last chapter or 2 will be straight from me (I hope). Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1

Sophie Coyote walked into the kitchen of HQ with baby Gabby in her arms.

Her husband, Tech E. Coyote, was holding TJ, and Polly was sitting in his lap.

Sophie smiled at him.

Their daughter, Sarah, came up behind her. "Hey, Mom, I—"

Sophie freaked out and zapped her. She turned around and realized who she'd zapped. "Oh, Sarah, I'm sorry!" She stuffed Gabby into Tech's free arm but the weight was too much for him and he fell out of his chair. Polly started crying, of course. "Tech, be careful! You upset Polly!"

Tech got up. "Oh, yeah. If I were her, I'd be REALLY UPSET!"

Sarah got up from the floor. "Really? You 2 need a break!"

"We would if we could," said Sophie, "but the others would wanna tag along and who'd watch the kids?"

The rest of the gang came in.

Kelly, Sarah's eldest sister, scoffed. "Hello, you have 9…" She looked at Jack. "…8 great babysitters right here."

Tech and Sophie looked at each other and laughed.

"Stop it, you're killing us," said Sophie.

Daniella, Rev, Ace, Lexi, Slam, Wendy, and Duck all joined in.

"Yeah, that was great," said Daniella.

"She really thinks…" Wendy burst out laughing.

Lexi just laughed.

"I'm serious," said Kelly.

They all stopped laughing and stared at her.

"Alright, look, you know what?" Sophie said, walking over to them, "It's a nice thought, but I don't think I'm ready to be away from our babies so soon." Polly started crying again. "Shut up!"

Robert then got an idea and stood up from the couch. "You guys wanna see a magic trick?"

"You're not talking about using your powers, right?" Wendy asked, slightly scared.

"Right."

"Go ahead."

Robert walked over to the table and yanked off the cloth, taking off the plates and everything, too, and making a big mess.

Sophie exchanged some looks with the other parents and Slam. "Sure, I could use some time off." She walked off.

An hour later…

The parents (and Slam) were all ready.

Wendy walked up to the door with her sunglasses on underneath her blonde hair. "So do we have a plan for this vacation…" She lifted up her sunglasses and glared at Tech. "…or are we improvising again?"

"After last summer, no way," said Tech.

"That's the answer I was looking for," Wendy said, smiling and putting her sunglasses back on.

"Alright, you guys," said Nadine, Lexi and Ace's eldest, "Go ahead and stay out as late as you want and have fun—but not too much fun, we have enough kids already."

They all laughed.

Then Nadine stopped. "Yeah, I'm serious, we don't need any more babies."

"Alright, everyone be good," said Daniella.

"Yeah, yeah," all the boys (and Lucy, Ace and Lexi's next oldest daughter) said. Sarah just shrugged. Kelly and Nadine looked at each other, knowing they'd have to be keeping order around the place.

The girls and all the guys but Ace left.

Ace turned to the kids. "Thanks for doing this, guys. It's gonna be nice for the gang to have some special time together like old times."

"Ace! Move it!" Lexi called.

"I'm coming!" Ace yelled back. He nodded at the kids and left.

As soon as they were gone, Kelly walked over to the others with Nadine and sighed. "Alright. They've just left around 10:30. So, assuming they'll be back around 8 or just before, we can divide it evenly and each spend around an hour with each baby, rotating shifts. So who wants who first?"

"I think you 2 and Sarah should take them all first," said Jack. He considered that. "And second and third, since this was your idea."

"Wasn't my idea," said Nadine. Kelly glared at her. "I mean…we're all in this together. The 3 of us are not doing it by ourselves."

"Fine," said Michael, getting up from the couch, "I'll go fourth."

"For which baby?" asked Lucy, "And who are you taking first?"

"I meant 'I shall go forth to the park and shoot-eth some hoop.'" He started to leave.

Kelly stopped him. "If you're going to the park, why don't you just take Gabby with you?"

"What is a baby gonna do in the park?"

"Babies love parks! You can show her the duck pond, purple sky, the slides, the swing set, the jungle gym—"

"Wait a minute, she's just gonna look at stuff? That's what TV is for!"

Kelly shoved him. "Go get Gabby!"

Michael walked off to the nursery.

10 minutes later…

While Michael was off for the park, Sarah was walking down the halls, arguing with Jack as he held Dakota and her Rebekka.

Kelly stopped them, trying to keep Polly asleep in her arms. "Whoa! Whoa! What happened?"

Sarah groaned. "This stingy little mallard here tried to get me to change his sister's dirty diaper during his shift with her while I was supposed to be watching Rebekka! I am sick and tired of him being lazy, forceful, self-indulgent—"

"Sarah!"

Sarah stopped.

"Thank you. Jack, it's your hour with your sister. Go take care of her!"

Jack groaned and carried Dakota back to the nursery.

Kelly turned to Sarah. "We have to take care of each other as well as the kids while our parents are out. It's what they've been doing for the past 15-and-a-half years."

"Who made you the boss? Nadine and Benny are in charge here."

"I realize that, but I'm the eldest in this family—"

"That doesn't mean it's always about you. Why don't you go hang out with your Vampire boyfriend and let me handle this?" She walked off. "First Jack, now her. Why is everyone so bossy all of a sudden?"

Kelly sighed. She shook her head. She wasn't ready for this. How on earth did her parents do it? She looked at sleeping Polly. "I wish you could help here." She walked off.

Sarah laid Rebekka back in her crib and set up the baby monitor. She grabbed the receiver and started to leave. Before she did, she turned to glare at Jack as he laid Dakota back in her crib and set up the baby monitor, using his telekinetic power to drop the dirty diaper in the trash can. She made sure he saw her glare and walked out.

"What was that for?" asked Jack, following her.

"What do you mean 'what was that for?'" asked Sarah.

"You know, the daggers back there! What was with that?"

Sarah groaned and whirled around to glare at him again. "I'll tell you what was with that: you're always insulting me, messing up the missions, being so bossy to all of us and self-absorbed, and now you won't even be a good brother and take care of your own sister."

"Hey, you'd think that this family were so wacky that you'd be used to stuff like that."

"This family is not wacky. As soon as the babies have babies and us kids have kids, then it's gonna be wacky."

"Well, what about me, Buttons? Someday, Mom and Dad and your mom and dad will be out of the picture longer than the day and then what do you do?"

Sarah just glared at him. "'Buttons'?"

"OK, that came out?"

"Yes, it did! Do you even hear yourself when you talk? …For that matter, do you even hear me, when I talk? 'Cause, you know, I've never met someone besides you that has a shorter attention span than a goldfish. You know, their memory lasts 6 seconds?"

Jack stared at her. "Huh? Sorry, I zone out after 'do you hear yourself?'"

Sarah growled at him.

"OK, getting the sense that you're mad—"

"OF COURSE, I'M MAD!"

"—but we can work this out."

"No, we can't. I mean, you can't help that you're an annoying, obnoxious, self-reliant, clumsy, klutzy, idiotic, moronic, stupid—did I say 'annoying'?"

"Hey, look who's talking."

Sarah glared at him. "That's it. I wish you'd just disappear!" She ran off to her room and slammed the door shut. Suddenly, a lightning strike seemed to go off outside. She opened the door back up in her fright and fell back through it. When the door closed and the lightning stopped, she looked around. The hall was empty. "Jack?" She stood up and looked around again. "Jack!" She ran down the hall to where she'd just seen him. No one was there. "Uh oh." She zapped herself out.
