Keesha's POV
After much disscusion, Jake and I FINALLY came to an agreement on toppings…. I never knew he was so picky food wise, I mean…. He doesn't like salads, veggies are out of the question for the most part….. What will he eat? I wondered how Mrs. Frizzle handled it so well. " I am going to order the pizza" I told Jake. He nodded his head to show he was paying attention and I headed to the kitchen to order the pizza via phone. After I hung up with the pizza place I went back to the living room to check up on Jake and watch some TV until the pizza arrived.
As soon as we settled on a cartoon the doorbell rang. Jake got up and went to get the door as he grabbed the money on the way out of the living room. Jake brought the pizza into the room and set it on the coffee table between the couch and TV. The two of us sat and ate pizza while watching several cartoons. I think I lost track of time because before I knew it bedtime had arrived. I noticed Jake was getting tired and I was getting quite tired myself. I figured it was time for the two of us to get some sleep, but first someone was in dire need of a change…..
Jake's POV
The doorbell rang and I went to get our pizza that Keesha ordered for us. I paid for the pizza and gave a reasonable tip to the delivery driver as I knew from experience how important it was to tip when getting food delivered. I walked back into the living room and set the pizza on the coffee table between the couch and the TV. "What do you wanna watch now Keesha?" I asked as I picked out a slice of pizza and started to nibble on it "How do you feel about that new Samurai Pizza cats TV show? That one about cats who save the world?" Keesha asked me with pleading eyes. "Sure! I haven't seen that but it sounds pretty cool…." I said knowing I should try and be fair as she did watch one of my favorite cartoons with me and I kind of sensed she wasn't really interested in it as much as I had been. We watched several more cartoons with me letting her pick, I really wasn't picky on what I watched, as long as it was something different and cartoon like I could care less. I was starting to drift and I caught Keesha looking at my drifting state of consciousness from out of the corner of my eye. " Its getting late Jake, I am sure your in need of a change, I can smell you from here!" Keesha stated. I kind of had to agree with her on that, I mean I was in need of a change and I figured I probably needed to take a bath too. Keesha dragged me up to my room and insisted I start getting my things together for a bath while she went to draw a warm bath for me. I thanked her for being so nice and she just rolled her eyes while saying she was getting paid to watch me so it was kind of expected of her. She giggled a bit at that and went to go start the bath for me as I removed my outer layer of clothing and grabbed what I thought I would need. A few minutes later Keesha reappeared. "your bath is ready when you are, stinky" she joked as she came into the room and helped me up onto the small changing table that mom kept in my room. "That was a cheap shot!" I whined while Keesha removed my dirty diaper and cleaned me up. "I just call them as I see them" Keesha replied giggling not once getting grossed out in the slightest as I on the other hand was beet red the entire time Keesha was changing me. Once I was clean enough for Keesha's standards she helped me off the table and I headed off towards the bath citing that I was old enough I could at the very least bathe myself.
About 15 minutes later I was as clean as a whistle and after draining the tub walked back to my room with a towel around my waist. Upon entering my room I noticed Keesha had already taken a shower (in I assume mom's master bath) and was dressed in her PJ'S. she patted the top of the changing table and I assumed the position as I figured was expected of me. After getting diapered and helped in my PJ'S Keesha and I decided to roll out the sleeping bags in the living room. We checked all the doors and windows to make sure nothing had been left open and crawled into our respective sleeping bags and went to bed.
Keesha's POV
As soon as I got Jake cleaned up and ready for his bath I went off to use the shower in Mrs. Frizzle's room. I got done with my shower and in my PJ'S long before Jake was done with his bath, as soon as Jake was done with his bath he headed back to his room where I greeted him and got him ready for bed, feeling exhausted myself and ready to hit the hay as they say. We checked all the doors and windows as I was a bit paranoid about that sort of thing and we decided to sleep out In the living room. "Night Jake" I said and before I knew it it was morning. I guess I got a good nights rest because as soon as I woke up I felt like a million bucks! "Jake…. Oh Jake…planning on getting up?" I teased a bit nudging him slightly attempting to wake him…. To no avail however so I let him sleep and ventured into the kitchen to see what I could do about breakfast. I found cereal I the pantry and also found some frozen microwave pancakes. I microwaved some of the pancakes and sat down at the kitchen table with some syrup. As soon as I started to eat I saw Jake groggily walk into the kitchen. "Morning Keesha, sleep well?" Jake asked, not fully awake yet but trying to wake up anyway. "slept great actually! Let me guess you slept like a baby?" I giggled knowing it was a cheap shot but taking aim anyway. " it's too early for bad jokes" Jake whined slightly but still smiling a bit. "There are some pancakes left in the freezer unless you wanted the Cereal in the pantry" I stated waiting for his mind to process what I just told him. He opted for pancakes as well and heated a plate of them up and joined me. As soon as he started to eat he just began going to town on those pancakes like he had never eaten in his life "Wow that's the fastest I have seen anyone eat" I commented as I slowly finished my breakfast and went to wash off my plate at the sink.
After we finished breakfast i changed Jake. he insisted that he should go without pants because it was just us and he didn't think we would be going anywhere until lunchtime, his argument for no pants was strong... so i let him win this time and we settled on watching Cartoons. Jake was sweet enough to let me pick the shows so i tried to return the favor by picking shows that both of us would like. Around 9:30 in the morning i heard a knock at the door, figuring nobody was supposed to be stopping by i looked over at Jake questionably as if to say 'You expecting anyone today?' He gave me the look that confirmed my suspicion that nobody was expected to stop by the house. I looked out the side window that faced towards the front porch and saw a some of our classmates standing outside. i Verbally confirmed this and Jake almost went into a full blown panic rushing to get upstairs without being seen through any windows so he could procure pants.
Jake's POV
i woke up to a wondrous smell of what i assumed was cake of some sort, i slowly realized that it was pancakes and maple syrup that i had been smelling. i groggily walked into the kitchen and realized that Keesha had been up for a while and had made pancakes. At first i thought that Keesha had made them from scratch, but soon realized that would be a far stretch for a kid in this day and age. the Eggo box on the counter confirmed this fact "Morning Keesha, sleep well?" i asked still not fully awake..."slept great actually! Let me guess you slept like a baby?" she giggled. she was having too much fun with the baby jokes, but i didn't mind, i would have made the same jokes myself regardless. "it's too early for bad jokes" I whined, grinning a bit for letting her take another shot in my not fully awake state. Keesha confirmed that there were still pancakes left and I opted for the pancakes. As soon as I started to eat the smell was overwhelming and i just downed the pancakes... i shouldn't have been that rude and i know that i probably Keesha was wondering if i even tasted the food that i ingested during those few minutes. "Wow that's the fastest I have seen anyone eat" Keesha commented as she slowly eating and went to wash off her plate at the sink.
"You up for watching cartoons?" i asked trying to put on my innicent but adorable face for dramatic effect. Keesha agreed and i let her choose the shows. the doorbell rang and keesha looked over at me questionably as if to say You expecting anyone today? i gave Keesha the look that confirmed her suspicion that i did not know of anyone that was to be stopping by the house. Keesha peered out one of the windows that faced towards the porch and told me it looked like some classmates stopped by. I flew into a tizzy and rushed upstairs to get some clothes on over my diaper clad body. I heard Keesha open the door and invite our classmates in. "What a awesome looking house!" i heard Carlos exclaim "who knew Ms. Frizzle lived in such a large and interesting home" Dorthey Ann said "What's it like to babysit someone your own age?" i heard Wanda tease "Watching Jake is easier then when i babysat those twins on Spruce St, and they were a HANDFUL!" Keesha said all dramatic like. By this time i had located a pair of pants that would fit and a decent shirt to match and had done a visual once-over to ensure everything was in place clothing wise and almost leaped down the steps to greet my friends "HI EVERYONE!" i exclaimed spooking Keesha so bad i wondered if she might need a change of clothes... i kept that thought to myself though and said hi to everyone. " what smells so good?" Arnold asked "You mean aside from baby powder?" Keesha joked making me blush a bit. "Never-mind that... we were wondering if you two wanted to join us for a game of hide and seek?" Wanda asked. "Sure! let me grab a few things first, where were you thinking?" Keesha said, speaking for both of us "you know the park at the end of the Neighborhood?" Ralphie asked "that's where we figured we could play for a while"
