A/N: Before we begin, I just want to say that the bathroom scene will be going to a different direction. Now, let's continue.
Alice is in her bed, under the covers, still sad about Sarah's death. Suddenly, a horn is heard honking. Alice looks at the window and sees a car parking into the front yard. She gasps happily. She recognized that car.
Four people walk into the house. They are Barb Pierce, Alice's mother and Nica's older sister, Ian, Alice's father and Barb's husband, Jill, the Nanny, and the priest of their church, "Father" Frank. They see Nica throwing away all of Sarah's painting supplies into a huge garbage bag. Barb walks over to her sister. "Nica." She hugs her.
"I'm sorry." Nica said, before she started sobbing. "She was fine! She was taking her meds. She was painting again."
"No, no." Barb said.
"She was fine." Nica repeated. "How could she do that, Barbie? How could she do that to herself?"
"You, uh-" Barb got interrupted by a voice calling, "Mommy! Daddy!" It was Alice running towards her. "Alice!" She and Ian gave her a hug. "I missed you."
"I missed you too." Alice told her. "Is Jill here too?" Barb nodded.
"Hey, sport." Jill said, rubbing Alice's head.
"So how are things going with Auntie Nica?" Barb asked.
"Good, Mommy." Alice replied.
"You did everything she told you?" Barb asked. Alice nodded.
"Mommy, Grandma died." Alice told her.
"I know, sweetie. But at least, she's all the way in the heavens." Barb assured her. "We just have to pray for her to be forgiven." Alice smiled. "Look, I even brought Father Frank with us." She shows Father Frank to her. She just remembered something. "Oh, uh, Nica, you remember Father Frank?"
"Uh...Yes. Hello, Father." Nica greeted Frank.
"I'm sorry for your loss, Nica." Frank said.
"Thank you." Nica smiled.
"Your sister just thought it might be a good idea for me to come." Frank said.
"Thanks. But my mother and I left the church a long time ago." Nica told him.
"But not in the eyes of God." Frank smiled.
"I just thought it might be nice for us to have someone to talk to." Barb said.
"We have each other." Nica said.
"Hey, I have a new friend." Alice told Barb.
"Really? What's his name?" Barb asked.
"Chucky. He's my friend til' the end." Alice replied.
"That's nice." Barb said. "Where is he?"
"Oh, he's-" Alice was about to show where Chucky was, but for some reason, he disappeared. "That's funny." She giggles.
Nica sighs. "It was all my fault. Me and Alice should have seen it coming."
"Nica. You cannot blame yourself. Or Alice. She was supposed to be taking care of you." Barb wiped her tears.
"I know." Nica sighed again. She remembered something. "Oh, Alice, it's bath time."
"Already?" Alice complained.
"Alice. You have family here." Nica reminded her. "Remember that you're a big girl now. Don't be calling me to wash you up."
"I know, Auntie Nica." Alice told her.
Nica takes Alice to the bathroom, turns on the bath water, pours the bubble soap in and gives Alice her rubber duck, wash cloth, towel and clothes. "Always remember not to lock the door."
"What if someone come in?" Alice wondered.
"Don't worry, we won't let them." Jill assured her. Nica closed the door and they leave.
Alice locks the door before she undressed herself, gets in the tub and pulls the curtains. She plays with her rubber duck for a couple of seconds before she washes herself up. When she was done, she drains the water, gets out of the tub, dried herself off and got dressed. But suddenly, after she was done getting dressed, a the curtains made a noise. Alice walked over to the curtains. She keeps getting slowly closer...slowly closer...slowly closer...and then... She pulls the curtains, revealing Chucky behind. "I've found you." Chucky was silent for a moment. Alice reached her hand to touch him, but he pulls his hand, scaring her.
Ian and Jill heard Alice screaming. They ran upstairs as fast as they could. When they got there, they tried opening the door, but it was locked. "Alice! Alice, open the door!" Jill found her nail filer and picks the lock with it, revealing Alice holding Chucky.
"He scared me half to death!" Alice said. Ian and Jill look at each other, confused.
They get back downstairs.
"We're back." said Ian.
"You've found him." Nica said. "Where was he?"
"In the bathroom." Alice replied.
"Really?" Alice nods.
"Uh, what's that?" Barb asked, referring to Chucky.
"Mommy, this is Chucky." Alice introduced Chucky to Barb.
"When'd you get that for her?" Barb asked Nica.
"I didn't. It just showed up in a package yesterday before Mom died." Nica replied. She turns to Alice. "But you know, Alice, maybe Grandma wanted you to take care of him."
"Or It was obviously sent here by mistake. It must belong to someone else." Barb said, taking a bite of a cookie. "And Alice, you have way too many dolls as it is."
"Yeah, I know, but Chucky's my friend til' the end."
"You know, I actually think it's a really nice gesture." Ian said, smiling at Barb. "Besides, it's a doll. I mean, what's the worst that can happen, huh?"
"I like to be hugged." Chucky said.
"I like it when you say that, as much as how much I like to hug you too, Chucky." Alice said, hugging Chucky. Little did she notice was Chucky's eyes widening. She puts him to her ear. "What's that, Chucky?" Two seconds of silence. "Oh, Chucky wants to know what's for dinner." The group laughed at that.
"Well, I guess we better get started in the kitchen." Barb said, putting her plate down and standing up.
"Oh, don't be silly." Nica said "Uh, you guys are my guests and you must be exhausted from your flight, please just make yourselves at home." She looks at Frank. "Father Frank, you will stay for dinner, won't you?"
Frank stumbled "Well, I, uh..." Barb looks at him. "I'd love to, Nica. Thanks."
"Alice, you're gonna make dinner. For six." Barb told Alice.
"Seven." Alice included Chucky.
"Well, since you can cook, I'll need a chef's assistant." Nica told Alice.
"Sure. And this time, Chucky can be my assistant."
"Great! Then let's get cookin'!"
