"Why do I have to watch them? Me, Lily, and Katie had plans for tonight!" Hailey whined.
"Because, sweetie, we don't trust anyone else with them." Harley explained.
"Heck, we hardly even trust you!" Joker added.
"Exactly! So why are you leaving me with them?!" Hailey groaned.
"Because there's no one else!" Harley said.
"But Mommy I don't wanna stay with Hailey!" Trixie whined. "I wanna stay with you and Daddy!"
Harley sighs and bends down to Trixie's size. "Oh, Trix. We'll be back soon, okay?" Harley lifts Trixie into her arms, and Trixie immediately placed her head on her mother's shoulder.
"But Hailey's annoying!" Trixie continued.
"Oh really? Says the one who runs around all day singing the Little Einsteins theme song!" Hailey yelled.
"That's not annoying! That's being awesome! And I only do it because I know it annoys you!"
"Well why do you wanna annoy me?!"
"Because you like TRUMP! I mean, c'mon Hailey. TRUMP! Don't get me started on how much I hate Trump!"
Harley chuckled. The fact that a five year old would have these feelings about Donald Trump is completely hilarious.
"Alright, well, no matter how much you two love or hate each other, we gotta get going." Joker said sarcastically.
"Okay, one more hug Princess." Harley smiled.
Trixie nuzzled into Harley's chest. "Bye Mommy."
"Bye baby. I love you."
"I love you too."
Hailey was actually a little nervous about watching her sisters. She knew if she lost either one of them, she'd be in huge trouble. But if Trixie went missing, it was the end of the line for her. Trixie was the baby, and the only thing Harley and Joker loved more than themselves. Literally, Harley's wallpaper on her phone is a picture of Trixie doing her first solo, "Let Me Entertain You". She knew she would have to guard her baby sister with her life, or else.

After their parents left, all Trixie did was jump up and down on the couch asking to make on Hailey's phone.
"C'mon Hay, please!" Trixie begged.
"Trixie, you know how Mom and Dad feel about that stuff!" Hailey replied.
"Then just save it private!" Trixie offered. Then, Trixie pulled out the big ones: puppy dog eyes.
"Fine! Whatever! But just one, and that's it!"
"Yay! Thanks Hailey!" Trixie smiled, reaching out to take Hailey's phone.
"Woah, woah, woah. What are you doing?" Hailey questioned.
"Taking your phone to make ..." Trixie said, confused.
"Uh, no you're not! I'm helping you! You don't wanna look like an idiot!" Hailey informed.
"Hey! I don't look like an idiot!"
"You will if you try to make them yourself! You can pick the song, then you can do it with me. Okay?"
Trixie sighed, disappointed. "Okay...ooh! Can we do Vroom Vroom?"
"Sure. Ready?"

"Harley, what is it?" Joker asked his wife.
"I'm just worried about the girls. I mean, every time we let them out of our sight, they get kidnapped! I don't want that to happen again. My baby's been through too much."
"Pooh, you need to stop worrying. They'll be fine."
"But you say that every time and it still happens!"
"Yes, but this time I know for sure. I installed an alarm system on the house. It'll keep the girls in, and everyone else out."
Harley sighed. "Okay. I guess I'll listen this time. But if one thing doesn't seem right, and I mean one little thing-"
"We'll go home."

"Hailey, I'm hungry! When will the food be ready?" Trixie yelled from the couch.
"It would be sooner if you would help!"
"That doesn't answer my question!"
Hailey growled under her breath, knowing she can't yell at Trixie. If she did, Trixie would call their parents, and it would be the end. "Five minutes."
"Ugh! That seems like forever to-"
Trixie stopped talking. Something didn't seem right. "Trixie?" Hailey ran over to the couch, but by the time she was over there, it was too late.
Trixie was gone. Hailey knew there was only one thing to do.
