Ch.3 Bed Time

Bunny started the vacuum as Violet asked in a bit of concern "Are you sure that you can do this? I mean, even though your a super kid, your still a five-year-old."

"Oh, don't worry!" Bunny asured in a cheerful manner. "I'm sure I can do this!"

"Maybe I should do it..."

"No, it's okay. I know that your a teenager and can do better, but I want to help. Please...?"

Violet looked at the sparkeling purple eyes. She showed a face as if she was being tormented by guilt. Then, she gave in and said "Alright... Just becareful."

"I will!" Said Bunny.

Moments later, Bunny was being dragged by the vacuum all around the house, knocking almost everything in vacuum's way. Brick, Buttercup, Blossom, and Boomer caught everything that was about to breack or spill. The vacuum sucked up some flowers, the pillows on the couch, the rug, and some of the pictures of the family.

Bunny was then dragged upstairs and into the kids' bed room. The vacuum knocked over the crib, making Jack-Jack fly up in the air, nearly touching the ceiling. Violet came into the room and gasped in shock when she saw Jack-Jack about to fall, so she put a force-field around Jack-Jack, right before he hit the ground.

Jack-Jack giggled as Violet sighed in relief. The vacuum continued to cause havok as it sucked up the blankets and pillows from the girls' bed and the boys' bunk bed. Then Bunny was dragged into the Professor's room and accidentaly sucked the bed sheet and pillows. Then the vacuum went to the closet, sucking up the Professor's cloths.

When Bunny was back in the living room, Violet pulled the plug for the vacuum out of the plug hole, making the vacuum stop completly. Violet looked at Bunny, who made a nervouse smile and chuckled. Violet nodded her head from side to side with an exauhsted yet satisfied face saying "Well... at least you tried to help."

Violet pulled the list out and read that preparing dinner was next, then after that, dishes. "Okay, you guys! We need to get dinner started before we get the movie started! Then after the movie, we've got some dishes to put away! So, what would you guys like for dinner?"

"Can we have spaghetti?" Bubbles asked.

"Bubbles, we had that last night." Said Brick.

"It can't hurt to have the same dinner two nights in a row, can it?" Said Bubbles.

"No way! I want burgers!" Said Buttercup.

"Yeah, I want burgers too!" Said Boomer.

Buttercup glanced at Boomer with a smirk and said "Nice! Two votes on burgers! Up high!" She raised her hand up. Boomer obliged and slapped his palm against Buttercup's. "Down low!" Boomer was about to throw his palm on Buttercup's, but Buttercup quickly pulled it back. "Too slow!"

Brick thought about it and said "As much as I would like a beef that is in-between two buns, I'm just not in the mood for it tonight."

Buttercup and Boomer glared at Brick. "Traitor! How can you not be in the mood for the greatest creation in Amarican history?" Said Buttercup.

"Maybe he's a Nazi in disguise..." Boomer whispered in Buttercup's ear as they both snickered.

Brick glared at them and said "I heard that! I'm no fan of a Jew hating nut with a retard looking mustach! But I think Butch is...!"

Butch, hearing that, growled at the unnecessary insult. "I am not a Nazi!"

"Okay, that's enough talking about World War Two!" Said Violet, making everybody stop intagonizing each other. "Can we just see what everybody wants for dinner without changing the subject? Now, who would like spaghetti?" Butch raised his hand and Bubbles raised her's in joyful excitment. "Okay, who would like hamburgers?" Boomer and Buttercup raised their hands as high as they could. "What about... pizza?" Brick, Blossom, and Bunny raised their hands. "Okay, pizza it is then! Blossom, get the oven started!"

"You got it!" Blossom went to the kitchen and turned the oven on to the right temperature.

"Boomer, get the pizza out and get it ready to put in!"

"Okay!" Boomer went to the freezer part of the fridge and took out a pizza bigger than his fat head. It seemed to have enough slices for ten people. Blossom opened the oven door as Boomer put it in. She closed it and set the timer for the pizza.

"We got the pizza started!" Blossom called out.

"Okay! So, where do you guys keep the DVDs?" She asked.

"Over at that shelf right next to the T.V." Said Bubbles, pointing at a shelf full of DVDs. Violet looked through the DVDs until she found Wall-E.

Violet popped it in the player and dimmed the lights. "Hm... If only you and me were the only ones here... then this scenery would have been interesting..." Said Butch, eyeing Violet.

Violet ignored Butch and said "Buttercup...? Could you please put Butch on the farthest seat from where I'll be sitting, please...?"

Buttercup held the force-field ball Butch was still in with an evil smile saying "With pleasure...!" Butch rolled his eyes with a grumpy fit as Buttercup tossed Butch back and forth between her hands until her throwing was strong enough to send him zipping towards the far left side of the couch. Butch felt dizzy and nauseous.

As the movie started, the timer for the pizza went off. Blossom and Boomer went to get the pizza out of the oven. Boomer was about to get the pizza, when Blossom stopped him. "Boomer, wait! You could burn yourself!" She then took some mittens and gave them to Boomer. "You'd better use these."

Boomer put them on and said "Thanks, Blossom." as he pulled the pizza out and placed it on top of the oven.

Butch saw Boomer with the mittens and said "Are you wearing mittens? Aw... poor baby can't carry pizza without mittens... aw..."

Butch laughed out loud while Brick glared at him in irritation as he said "If you don't like wearing mittens, Butch, then that must mean that you would love to burn your bare hands on some hot metal that is almost a-thousand degrees hot, is that what your saying?" Butch was taken aback of what Brick said. "I didn't think so, moron...!"

"Hey, no name calling or else I'll put you on time out again!" Said Violet.

"Sorry." Brick responded in respect.

Blossom sliced the pizza into pieces for everybody. Then she readied to throw the pieces at the plate. "Ready, Boomer?" Blossom asked.

Boomer took the plates out and placed them on the table saying "Ready, Blossom!"

"Go!" Blossom shouted as she threw some pizza at Boomer, who took each plate and held them up to catch the pizza pieces. Blossom threw the last piece of pizza and in slow motion, Boomer caught it before it went past him out of his reach. Blossom approuched Boomer and genlty petted his head saying "Exelent moves... grasshopper...!" Boomer laughed at Blossom's comment, making Blossom laugh along.

Violet looked at those two with a smile. "You two must be stickier than tree sap."

Blossom looked at Violet and said "Yeah... Ever since Boomer started to like me because of how kind I was being towards him after I felt terrible for... well... lecturing him harshly... And ever since I helped Brick become an improved brother for Boomer and the Professor adopted him, we've been very close. Looking at Boomer now, it's hard for me to believe that he was my enemy."

Boomer scratched the back of his head and admited to Blossom "It's kinda hard for me to believe that you were my enemy too..." Blossom smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Well... good for you guys." Said Violet as she took the plates to the living room. "Okay, dig in! Just don't make a mess, Bunny just vacuumed. If not made it messy enough while doing it." Bunny scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.

The movie reached to where E.V.E. was seeing a part of the singing couple holding hands. Brick strechted out his arms and slid his hands across the couch. His right hand accidentaly touched Buttercup's left hand. They both flenched a little and pulled their hands away quickly and lightly. Brick and Buttercup looked at each other then looked away, blushing.

When the movie got to the part where Wall-E was all weak and helpless, Bubbles and Bunny started to burst into tears. "Poor Wall-E... Please don't die..." Bubbles said in a whimpering voice as she leaned her head on Brick's shoulder.

Brick, feeling silly that he was about to cry himself, patted her gently on the back saying "Hey, it's okay... He's gonna live." Then he said in his thoughts 'Aw man... now listen to me... I'm telling her that a robot's gonna be fine...'

Bunny leaned against Violet, who genlty placed her hand on Bunny's head, telling her that it'll be okay in the end. When the movie ended, Bunny sniffled in happiness. "I always cry at this part..."

Butch spat his tongue out and said "That movie sucked!"

"Oh, stop trying to act all tough guy, Butch!" Said Blossom. "I saw you wobbling your mouth!"

"Aw shut up!" Butch crossed his amrs and turned his back on Blossom.

Violet saw on the clock that it was almost seven-thirty, so she got up from the sofa and said "Okay, it's almost time for bed! So everybody needs to take a bath! Boys, your first!"

The boys went to the bathroom and undressed before they went into the tub. Boomer played with a toy boat as Violet scrubbed Brick's hair with shampoo. Butch then said "Be sure to go easy on the goods..."

Violet then quickly scrubbed Butch's hair with shampoo and used a brush to wash Butch's body. She then rinsed him and took him out with a towel. "There, the only way I could go easy on the goods was to use a brush instead of my hands. Thanks for the advice." Butch grumbled as he sat on the toilet, waiting for his brothers to be done. "No offens, guys, but your brother is such a perv...!"

"Yeah, he's just a magnet for trouble!" Said Boomer.

Violet then genlty petted Boomer's head and said "Not you, Boomer. Your okay. And super cute."

Boomer blushed at what Violet said. "Thanks... Your way, way more nicer than our last babysitter!"

Brick rolled his eyes and said "You think any girl is nice, Boomer...!"

"Don't be jealous, Brick. I think your just as cute too." Violet said, giving Brick a pet on the head.

Brick crossed his arms with a grumpy look as he blushed. "Whatever..."

After Brick and Boomer were done, Violet dried them off in towels and then wrapped them in the towels. "Okay boys, go into your P.J.s while I get the girls in the tub." The boys did so and went to their room. "Girls, your turn!"

Blossom, Bubbles, and Bunny came in to the bathroom in a flash with towels in hand. "Okay, we're ready!"

"Good!" Said Violet, when she noticed that only three of the girls were there. "Wait... Where's Buttercup?"

The girls looked around. Blossom made an exauhsted sigh and said "She's hidding...! She dosen't like taking baths one bit!"

"Well, where could she be?" Violet asked when the boys screamed in surprise. Violet went to the room and found Buttercup in the closet, who was blushing after seeing thee boys in towels.

"What the heck, Buttercup?" Brick asked in an irritated tone. "And we thought Butch was the master of all things that involves perverts!"

Violet approuched Buttercup with her palms on her hips, glaring at Buttercup with a stern look. Buttercup made a nervous smile and said "What's up?" a few seconds later, Blossom and Bubbles dragged Buttercup across the floor as Buttercup strugled to break free. "NOOOO! I DON'T WANNA TAKE A BATH! PLEASE! I'LL DO ANYTHING...!"

Brick, who saw this rediculous scene, face palmed himself and said "I'm starting to believe that the girls were created in the year of the tiger, cause Buttercup has mager water phobia problems..."

The girls undressed and got in. All except, Buttercup, who crossed her arms in a grumpy manner. "Buttercup... you gotta take a bath before you go to bed!"

"What's the point of taking a bath? We're gonna get dirty tomorrow anyway! Besides, I don't see why I have to take a bath now!" Said a smelly Buttercup.

Violet took a wiff of Buttercup's aroma and covered her nose saying in a nostrel cloged voice "Sure we'll be dirty again, but that's why we take a bath once every day or so. So, come on. Undress and dip in!"

Buttercup turned away and said "No!"

Violet glared at her and said "Are you ordering me to give you a time out?"

Buttercup took aback. She then sighed in a grumpy manner and said "No...!"

"Then do as I tell you, please." Buttercup undressed herself and got in the tub.

Bunny and Bubbles played with bath toys as Violet scrubbed their hairs with shampoo. Then she brushed their bodies before she rinsed them. She took the girls out and lead them to the closet where the girls started to put their night-gowns on. Violet then heared the closet slide open a little. "I see you, Butch...!"

Butch yelped as he closed the closet. When the girls were ready, Violet tucked the kids in and said "Okay, now I'm gonna take a shower, so keep an eye on Jack-Jack for me. And make sure Butch dosen't go anywhere near the bathroom until I get out and get dressed...!"

"Don't worry, Vi! We'll be on him like vulters!" Said Brick.

"Okay, thanks." Violet went to the bathroom and locked the door before she undressed and stepped into the shower. The shadow on the curtain indicated that Violet scrubbed every inch of herself off. When she was done rinsing off, she turned the shower off and dired herself off. Then, with the towel around her body, she brushed her hair then opened the door letting the steam out. Then she saw that Boomer was waiting for her.

She kneeled to him and asked "What's up, Boomer?"

"Vi? Me and the others were woundering if you could read to us."

"Okay, just let me get dressed then I might read one chapter." Violet then turned invisable and threw the towel to Boomer, making him catch it. When he saw what she did, his whole face turned red in embaracment, knowing what just happened.

Violet got her undergarments and pajamas out of the suitcase and put them on before turning visable again. She went up to the kids' room and read them a little chapter in a book of Tom Sawyer. When Violet was near the end of the chapter, she saw that the kids fell fast asleep. She sighed in relief and said "Wow... What a day... I hope tomorrow will be as good as today went so far."

She went downstairs and slept on the couch. Little did she or the Puffs and the Ruffs knew, was that they were being watched on monitor by a shadow figure. "Sleep tight, you little twerps...! Enjoy dream land while it lasts, for soon I will make your lives a living nightmare...! Espicaly you... Violet Parr...! Or should I say... Incredigirl...!"

Who is the myesterious person spying on the kids? What is he going to do with them? Stay toned and find out! Well, not really, just wait until the chapters are updated. (R&R)
