Disclaimer: If I owned Good Luck Charlie... well, let's just say it's probably better I don't, lol.

Author's Note: Woo, I love reviews! I wanna say thank you to Amy Winterbottom ... don't worry, I always finish my stories... and Aslan is Love ... sadly, it won't be anything probably like GLC does after that episode... for their reviews and to anyone else who read the story but didn't comment or alert. Also, if anyone does know, where can I find a download for the full version of the theme song? I've seen it on youtube, but I'd like to have it for my own computer. Any ideas? Anyway, like I said, this is a longer chapter and we see some sibling rivalry and some storyline for this story in this chapter, as well as Charlie attempting to kill Ivy. It's all awesome, lol. Enjoy!

Chapter One … Why are you so immature?

Teddy Duncan wasn't someone who gave up… especially when it came to fighting for her own bathroom. Especially when it was PJ Duncan who continuously stole it from her, seemingly only on the mornings when she was in a rush. Did she mention he always used all the hot water? It would always result in a huge fight, to which Amy Duncan would come play referee until the loudness would stop.

It brought a scene in the kitchen, one theDuncanparents were used to, their eldest glaring at each other from across the table. Once in a while, one would pick up a bite of their food, and then look up to narrow their eyes and scoff. Finally, Amy sighed.

"Your immaturity is terrible," she scolded. "You have younger siblings that look up to you, PJ, Teddy."

"I don't look up to them," Gabe said. "I know better. Well, I mean, I do look up to them… but you said I haven't gotten my growth spurt yet and well… I'm gonna shut up now."

"You probably should," PJ muttered.

"PJ," Amy scolded again. "Really. Would it really kill you guys to get along for one morning? Heck, it might even make the world a better place."

"A better place? If PJ didn't exist in the world, it would be a better place!"

"At least it'd have less hair spray if you didn't exist!"

Teddy gasped. "Me use more hairspray? Please, have you looked in a mirror recently?"

"Kids," Bob said sternly, but they weren't listening anymore. It was once again a fight, one that both parents gave up on in seconds. Amy rolled her eyes and continued feed the enthralled Charlie, while Gabe just continued munching on his cereal.

Finally, Teddy slammed her plate into the sink and gave her brother one more nasty gaze and stormed into her room. It was a temporarily silence until Gabe spoke up. "Mom?"

"Yes, sweetie."

"Do other families live like this?"

Amy Duncan sighed. "I wish."

"Would you please turn down the radio?"

He didn't answer. Teddy narrowed her eyes and went to do what she asked herself, only to have her small hand swatted away. "My car as of now. You aren't allowed to touch, little sis."

"You are ridiculous," Teddy muttered, slumping into her seat. "I can't wait until I can get my own car and you don't have to drive me everywhere. You'll see. And I won't drive you anywhere because you're a jerk. And you don't know how to share. And you listen to crappy music… and well, you're PJ and that's bad enough, I'd say."

"Are you done?"

Teddy raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, I think so."

PJ nodded. "Good. You're wasting oxygen."

She scowled and PJ rolled his eyes, smirking as he pulled into the shopping center Teddy was supposed to meet Ivy at. "I'll be done in a few hours. If you don't mind, I don't want to wait here very long. It's still pretty cold outside."

He smirked. "Well, I do have to work, and it is hard to get a break so we'll see… maybe I'll just leave you here. Alone!"

"You know what? I'll have Ivy bring me home! I can't stand you lately, PJ! You're nothing but a jerk who thinks he's funny when he's not." PJ rolled his eyes as she folded her arms, planning to continue her rant. Instead, he sped away, leaving her standing in the parking lot, glaring over at him. "Immature, aren't we?" With another sigh, Teddy walked toward where she was supposed to meet Ivy, and tried to forget about her brother.

"Oh, that looks awesome on you!" Ivy cried, running toward the smiling Teddy who had on a pair of jeans and a new top. It fitted her perfectly, every ruffle of the shirt making her already long body look even more model like. Ivy stared jealously for a second and then patted her best friend's shoulder. "You should really get it. Imagine how jealous it'll make all the girls look when they see you."

As Ivy waved her eyebrows, Teddy laughed. It did look good on her, after all. And it really had been a long time since she put something toward herself. Didn't all her babysitting money deserve to be used once in a while? With one more firm nod, she darted into the fitting room and pulled off the new clothes, quickly putting them where they were before and almost running past Ivy to the registers.

"See, now aren't you glad you tried that on?"

Teddy smiled. "And now we have to find something for you!"

"I'd say you should know this store doesn't have enough animal prints, T."

"Yeah, you might be right." Teddy laughed as the cashier rang her up. While the total was a little higher than she expected, she still eagerly handed over the money to her and pulled the bag over to her side with a smile. "I think I'm in love."

"Lunch?" Ivy pleaded as they walked through the shopping center. "I'm starving and I think that sub place is calling my name. You here it? Ivy… Ivy, come buy our new subs! Yummy… yummy!"

"Alright, alright. You win, I cave. We'll go see what all the hype is—" Teddy's ringtone suddenly blared, stopping her conversation with Ivy for a moment. "Huh, it's my mom. I told her I'd be here for a while, let me just see what she wants and then we'll go get a sub, okay?"

Teddy walked over where she could hear her mother better and then pressed talk. "Hey, mom. What's up?"

"Hi, sweetie. Listen, I know I promised you the day off today, but we've got a little problem. Your father is busy at work and I've been forced to come in a few hours earlier than I expected, so I'm a bit stuck right now. Charlie and Gabe are home and I could really use a sitter. Mrs. Dabney refuses ever since Gabe bit her and well, I don't really know if I trust that woman anyway—"

"Don't worry, mom. I'll come home right now. Ivy is with me, so she'll help."

Teddy could almost hear the relief in her mother's voice. "Oh, thank you so much, Teddy. I know just how the hospital gets when you say you can't come in when they need you, so…"

"It's fine, mom. Let me just tell Ivy and I'll be home in a few minutes. Okay? Okay, bye."

Teddy sighed and walked back over to where Ivy was standing, her eyes glued on the new sub place. "Ivy, that sub place is gonna have to wait a few more days. My mom is stuck without a babysitter and needs me home right away."

"And because you and PJ got into a fight, you need me to drive you there and hope I'll stay and make the place bright with my presence… right?"

She eyed her friend. "Ivy, your clothes alone could light a dark room."

"You love me," she smiled.

"I do… so that's a yes?"

Ivy nodded. "Of course, T."

"I don't see where that kid gets her energy!" Ivy yelled as she chased after the giggling Charlie an hour later, the small two year old darting through places that someone who wasn't young and tireless could fit. She wore a smile that only a child could, giggling as Ivy made faces at her, once in a while shrieking as she neared.

Meanwhile, Gabe played a video game on the TV, yelling at it every time he almost lost.

Teddy, who was in the kitchen, laughed. She was used to her sister's endless energy, but was glad she wasn't alone and didn't have to battle Charlie's games plus making the kids dinner. She stirred what was on the stove, and then went back to the sandwiches she had started, placing the deli food onto them. A ham sandwich for her and Ivy, a turkey one for Gabe, and macaroni and cheese for Charlie, who insisted that was her dinner the second she saw it on the table.

"Don't hurt Ivy, Charlie!"

Once again, as Teddy slowly began to set the table, her ringtone blared from the living room. "Ivy, could you get that?"

"If I can make it there without falling, sure!"

She heard her friend giggle and then pick up the phone, silent for a moment as she listened. "Oh, no, sorry this isn't Teddy Duncan, this is her best friend Ivy. She's a little busy. Is it important?"

Teddy, hearing Ivy say this, stepped into the room, waiting near the door. Ivy's face was knitted into a frown as she listened and then darted her eyes toward the waiting best friend. She put a hand over the receiver and whispered, "It's PJ's job. Apparently he fainted and needs a ride home."

"What?"

Teddy ran forward and took the phone from her. "Hi, this is Teddy. Is something wrong with my brother?"

She listened as his boss explained that PJ had been taking orders up front when he suddenly collapsed on the ground and fainted. Once awake, he begged the boss not the call for an ambulance and instead, call for his sister. As told, he did.

"Oh, yeah, I'm actually babysitting at the moment, but… oh, no, it's not a problem. Just give me one second, please." She also covered her hand over the receiver. "I hate leaving Charlie. Would you mind picking PJ up and bringing him home for me? I'd really owe you a trip to the sub place now."

Ivy nodded without thought. "Of course, T. You're my best friend."

Relieved, Teddy smiled. "Okay, hi again. Yeah, my best friend will be there in a few minutes to pick him up. Oh, okay. Yeah, thank you for calling me. I'm sure it's just a flu or something. He spends a lot of time with kids at home and well, you know how kids are." She chuckled a little and then nodded even though PJ's boss couldn't see her. "Okay, bye!"

Once Ivy left, Teddy set up Gabe and Charlie in the kitchen, waiting anxiously for the arrival of her brother and best friend. PJ rarely did get sick, but when he did, he usually got sick for weeks and complained like a child. And she also knew this well, so she prepared herself for a complete child to come into the house, someone who was more immature than Charlie. Immature and PJ… it seemed to go hand in hand, Teddy realized with a smile.
