Thanks for reading guys. I own nothing
On Saturday, everyone but Bobbi, Mack, and Hunter are on their way to the store.
"The garage is still is mess, so Mack gave me a list of ingredients for his lasagna." says Fitz
"Bobbi's helping Mack out I think, since she finished with her duties. She told us not to mess up the cars too much." says Simmons
"I think Hunter is still working on the bathrooms. Why is it taking him so long? Is it that bad in there?" asks Skye
"Don't look at me. I have a private bathroom." says Coulson from the front
"It's not that bad. Just a little messy." replies Fitz
"Too messy." finishes Simmons
"Where are we going anyway?" asks Skye
"Costco. We need to stock up on some stuff and then Walmart I guess." says May from the drivers seat
"Costco. Are you sure that's wise? Coulson got lost the last time." says Skye
"That's not a problem Skye. She's tracking me remember." replies Coulson holding up his tie
Once they got to Costco's entrance they grabbed two carts.
"We'll split up girls and boys." says Skye pushing the cart away from the others
"Meet up but the registers in thirty." says May before catching up with Skye and Simmons
"Where do you want to start, Fitz?" asks Coulson
"Is it your birthday?" asks Skye as Simmons shakes her head in amusement at the question
"Why do you think that?" says May as she puts a package of toilet paper in the cart
"When we wrote Mama May I told her that you said that if nothing was happening she could come up for your bday."
"Well something is happening." says May pushing the cart further down the aisle.
"That doesn't answer the question." says Skye but mainly to Simmons
"We'll get some cake mix or something and ice cream from Walmart just in case." says Simmons patting Skye's arm
"Why is it taking you so long to clean the bathroom." says Mack to Hunter who is currently cleaning the bathroom
"It was more or less spotless last night. Someone dripped paint on the floor and put peanut butter on the mirror. Did you finish the garage?
"Just about. For your sake, let's hope that no one messes it up again."
"You got that right. I'm gonna set up cameras in here and catch them red handed. Then they'll have to clean it up."
"How's he doing?" says Bobbi as Mack exits the bathroom
"I think he's losing it. Cleaning this bathroom just may break him."
"Skye just wants to know." says Coulson as he and May walk down an aisle in Walmart
"I know."
"Well why don't you just tell her?"
"Its not a big deal. Besides we have other things to worry about."
"Skye's going to ask your mother what's going on the minute she gets here, so you might want to get ahead on that."
"She won't tell Skye before I tell Skye."
"Did you make her promise or something?"
"Or something."
"Well now it makes sense. Your mom coming up here, I knew there must have been a reason for her visit."
"You mean other than wanting to visit me and have a nice peaceful time."
"I'm sure it'll be relatively peaceful."
"Only if the mission is."
Once back at the Playground, the team gathers around in the kitchen to have a discussion.
"Where is Hunter?" asks Coulson
"Setting up cameras in the men's bathroom. Someone put paint and peanut butter all over the place so he wants to catch the person red handed if it happens again." says Bobbi
"Alrighty then. Mack how's the garage?"
"Clean and spotless. Did you get my ingredients?" asks Mack to Fitz who nods in return
"The lab is also clean sir. Nothing deadly out and about." says Simmons
"Good. Bobbi, Skye?"
"Gym straightened up, cars are spotless inside and out, and the women's bathroom has a scent of flowers." says Bobbi
"The floors are clean but I wouldn't eat off of them. Also so I won't have to walk all around the base please bring you dishes in here please." says Skye
"My mother arrives tomorrow. She has to make a few stops so I have no idea when she'll get here." says May
"Won't she tell you when she's close. I mean how will she find us?" asks Skye
"She has her ways. She lives to surprise people." says May
Its Sunday night, and the team is sitting in the common area waiting for Mrs. May to arrive.
"Try calling again."
"I called her five times already Phil. She'll call me when she's close or right outside the front door."
"Well its getting late, I think we should send them to bed. She'll understand."
"What are we their parents Phil. They can choose their own bedtime. If they want to go to bed they can."
"Really? We can go to bed?" asks Simmons as the others are looking at her weirdly
"What? I'm tired. Not that I wouldn't enjoy staying up to wait for Mrs. May."
"It's okay Simmons. Go on." says May and Simmons nods and heads up to bed
"Anyone else. We have an long day tomorrow. If you stay you're going to have to wait until she gets here." says Coulson
The others grumble and follows Simmons to the bunks.
"What about you two?" asks Skye before she leaves the room
"I've slept in worse places." says Coulson
"I'll see you in the morning Skye." responds May and Skye nods and heads to bed
"You can go to bed as well." says May to Coulson
"No way. We'll take it in shifts. Go on and sleep I'll wake you in an hour."
May wakes up to flashing red lights and alarms going off. She looks over to Coulson and sees that he is fast asleep.
"Phil. Phil. Wake up." she says while shaking him awake
"What's wrong?" he says opening his eyes up slowly
"You forgot to wake me and the alarms are going off. Get up."
"Think its your Mom?" he asks while they run towards the entrance
"She wouldn't set off an alarm. She's too good for that."
Once they get to the entrance, they see Mrs. May with a suitcase waiting for them.
"Mom, why didn't you call me?"
"I wanted to test your team's response time. Where are they?" she asks giving Coulson her suitcase
"Asleep. Like we should be if you arrived at a normal time." says May leading them back to the common area where they sat down at the table.
"Well I had some stops to make."
"That took you all night."
Before Mrs. May can answer they hear footsteps running towards them. The team is running towards them in their pajamas and carrying their guns.
"Where's the intruder?" asks Bobbi raising her gun
Coulson and May point over to Mrs. May and she just waves at the team.
"Three minutes and twenty seconds. Phillip you should run more drills. What if I was an intruder? Off to bed, we'll chat in the morning."
The rest of the team slowly walks back to their bunks and May shows her mother to her room.
"I'll see you in the morning Qiaolian."
May nods and heads down to her room and finds Coulson standing outside her door.
"It could have been worse." he says
"How?"
"They might not have made it out of bed."
"I told you we should have been running drills."
