Ok. Got working on this quicker. Man... I get sooooo distracted soooo easily anymore. XD

Aaand... I, think this'll be the last chapter. Hope you all enjoy~

" Popcorn? "

Pyro asked gently, holding the bowl of popcorn over to the wolf. Wulfric, barely registering it, grabbed a fair handful of popcorn, crunching away as he watched on. Tail... unknowingly wagging a little to the thought of him soon, being able to see Midnight. Honestly hoping greatly she could keep the remote. He couldn't hardly wait to see her in action~! He knew the tiny bat was powerful. Surely she had to be just as strong right~?

Midnight walked out of the electronic store within the mall, clutching the remote in her hands. So excited to get home and show her siblings what was what. Show them that she didn't need that remote... now that she had her own. This would be great! Especially when Katie got frustrated~

Though. As soon as she walked into the parking lot... she froze. There... not too far from them... were her siblings! Fatima, Marco, Katie, Keria and Kyle! All looking like they were waiting for her to come outside! How... how did they know what she was up to?!

Ready for anything, she got into a battle stance. She was ready for the inevitable chase... her siblings wouldn't go easy on her. She needed do the same,... the vampires all stood their ground for a moment. Midnights death glare not fading in the slightest. And... once sure the others were too distracted... bolted!

" Get her! "

Fatima cried out. Knowing this wouldn't be easy... yet also knowing she was faster than Midnight~ In a quick movement, she passed Midnight and blocked her path, the others now caught up behind her. Everyone making a grab for the remote. Midnight, blocking their hands, and even grabbing Kyle, kissing his cheek and gently tossing him into Marcos arms. Gently even pushing Keria into Katie's arms. She didn't wanna hurt her little siblings, ever...~

Though. Fatima... was a tougher challenge. Fatima, making graceful moves and dives for the remote. Being an ice skater... made it all the more difficult for Midnight. Fatima... too swift to keep it up! At last... Midnight, had no choice but to simply push past her and make a run for it. Which proved far from easy...

Soon. Running through the parking lot... she found she was running out of room. A ledge, coming up. The end of the building! Glaring, she moved quicker... jumping from the edge! Looking a lot like a sophisticated ninja! Sticking the landing in fact! Running hurriedly.

Marco and Fatima grabbed firm hold of their younger siblings, and too, jumped the ledge. Sticking the landing and hurrying after their sister.

Midnight looked back and grinned as they fruitlessly tried to catch her. Giggling before looking ahead once more. Gasping as she was almost at the gate! It-! Was it closing?!

The twins, seeing this, grinned. Katie, catching this, called out.

" If you leave without paying you're setting a bad example for the younger ones! "

The twins began to give Midnight the puppy eyes. Glittery, wide eyes. Begging~ Midnigt, cracking under their gaze, began to feel around for lose change. Unable to find any! Looking up to the gate- which was almost closed- she looked back down to find change. Not paying attention... and hitting the gate HARD. Waist first. Causing her change to fly from her pockets. The twins... now on the other side of the gate. Kyle, picking up the remote, saying playfully.

" Thank you for being a responsible citizen~ "

The bat groaned as the pair took off, unable to believe she'd just lost to a plank of metal...

It didn't take long for the twins to get back home. Both talking eagerly about seeing their show! Neither able to believe they'd won against Midnight! Nor Marco, Katie or Fatima! For once they, the younger ones, won~! It was such a great feeling...~

Though... their victory was short lived. The pair could hear a voice shout at them. Turning... only to have Fatima snag the remote right from Kyle's hands!

" Wha-hey! "

Kyle snapped in shock. Fatima, wiggling the remote and sticking out her tongue.

" Sorry Kyle~ I am NOT missing the finals~ "

" Well, I'M not missing Sueprnatural! "

Marco snapped, snagging the remote from his sister.

" I promised Loreli! "

" Give it back! I HAD it! I'm NOT missing "The monsters inside of me"! "

Katie cried out, lunging for the remote. Marco, barely ducking her leap. He didn't even get a second to celebrate as Midnight grabbed at it. The pair, locked in a tug-of-war.

" I'm not missing the Loud House Marco! Give it! "

In no time flat, the children were locked in a death match for the remote. All struggling and fighting for the remote. Everyone, a bit too evenly matched. It wasn't until one of them picked up a sound that things got strange...

" Wait wait-! "

Marco tried, pulling the remote from the heal and clicking the remote a couple times. Finding... their garage door, opening and closing as he clicked it. A remote... for the garage...? A confused, mild fury boiled up in the bat, turning to Midnight with a huff and shouting out.

" Ahhh Flash d*** it! Midnight! THIS, is for a GARAGE DOOR! What, did you BUY THIS FOR?! "

" What...? "

Midnight asked lowly, confused greatly.

" But... it's the one Fatch told me to get... "

" Why would Fatch tell you to buy the wrong-?! ... "

Right as he said it... things began to come together. Things making more sense now.

" ... Remote... He planned this... "

Slowly. Everyone began to understand as well. Fatima, slowly speaking.

" He must've heard Kyle shout out he wanted to buy a remote. "

" And he must've saw me when I rushed out to get it... hence, why he told me to buy the wrong brand of remote when I called... "

Midnight said gently. Katie, adding in.

" He must've heard my riddle too. He's the one who cut into the couch when you guys ran outside! "

" Which means... the real one must still be in the house somewhere! "

Keira hurried. The group hurrying to the door... suddenly feeling all of their energy leaving them! All their otherworldly powers were leaving them! Marco. Panicked. Tried to open the door. It was locked! Panicked. They moved to try the window, looking in. Finding the living room... full of goodies. Candy bars, popcorn, and soda. Diet dr. Pepper. Fatch, slowly coming into the room with his Flippy doll and sitting down. Flipping his bear onto its belly, lifting the shirt and... pulling down the zipper! Marcos eyes growing wide to this, gasping sharply as the other pulled the remote from the Bears back.

" I had it in my hand... "

" Wait Flippy! "

" Oh yeah. Here you go. "

Marco said gently, kicking himself for almost rushing off with his brothers doll. Tossing it too him. Soon, pondering aloud.

" Wait. You're not coming with us? "

" I don't care about your stupid TV anymore! "

Fatch snapped out. Soon, tender, and hugging the doll close.

" All I need is my Flippy~ "

Fatch looked up at the clock, the hour striking eight. Looking back to the tv with a smirk and turning it on.

" ... I feel so proud of him, and yet... oddly scared at the same time... "

Midnight mumbled out gently as she could hear the Haply Tree Friends theme going on in the background. The twins, panicking and hitting the glass. Calling out to Fatch to let them in. Fatch, merely grinning and watching on with a clear conscience~

" ... dang. Little bats smart. "

Wulfric muttered put as he watched Pyro get up and leave. Looking back to the mirror, seeing how upset Midnight was... he felt rather bad for the girl. Frowning a bit and placing his hand on the mirror.

Phew. Thank Flash for the morning shift in a sense. Finally got this out~

Hope you all enjoyed~!
