8:00 pm.

Max and Rex were playing cards when they heard a crash. Zita was in the doorway, looking tired. She was holding four bags in each hand.

"Max," she groaned, "You're mom made me shop till i literally dropped."

Max rushed over and took all eight bags. "Is this it?" Zita shook her head and pointed to the Taylor's car. The trunk was stuffed, and the top of the car was packed as well.

"Wow." That was Rex. Zita bent over and rested.

"Your mom must of really wanted a girl. She dragged me into, like, 100 stores and even when i told her i didn't need anymore clothes, she took me to another store. And then another. I never like shopping, and I don't like it more now." Zita hauled herself up and made a mad dash to the car. And to her room, back to the car, to her room...16 times. With the help of Dr. Taylor, Max, Rex, Aki and Chomp and Ace.

"Ahh! How come I don't get this much in gameing systems?" asked Max. Zita ran up a set of stairs two at a time.

"I told you there was a lot. I won't be able to wear all this in this year. I'm giving some of these to Zoe." She ran up the stairs, dropped her bags and flopped on her bed. Max reached the doorway and leaned on it. He dropped his bags and sat next to Zita. She smiled and rubbed her hands.

"Geeze, maybe they SHOULD make shopping an Olympic sport." Max laughed and pulled Zita up. Zita crossed her legs and rested her head on Max's shoulder.

"Hm, maybe. But anyway, are you going to put these things away?" Zita nodded.

"In a bit." Max pulled a strand of her blue hair back. Rex was watching from the doorway. Zita noticed him.

"Rex, wanna come in?" Re shrugged and kicked an invisible stone. Zita laughed.

"You just wish that Zoe lived with ya." The two laughed as Rex turned beet red.

The next day

Zita got up really early, as usual. This time, Max didn't get up early. By the time he was up, Rex was already eating breakfast and Zita was scrubbing dishes. "Mornin." Max walked over to her and hugged her.

"Morning to you too. Umm, is there breakfast?" Zita used her toe to point to the cabinet.

"Yup, ceral. That's all. Oh, you boys have to help me with some of the chores Mrs. Taylor left for me. And Zoe gonna help." The two boys looked at each other.

Rex quickly said, "Uhh, we gotta go to -" Zita cut him off.

"Nope, not getting out of it. Zoe going to be watching, and she told me all the tricks that you did. And besides, only a half hour and then we're done." A door bell rung. "That must be Zoe." Rex immediately got up and raced to the door.

Rex got to the door and let Zoe in. Zoe waved. "Hi." Rex laughed and kissed her cheek.

Zoe blushed while Zita said, "Chomp, Chomp CHOMP! Nononono! NO! Don't put that there! Max watch" A loud crash was heard. "Out. Zoe help on the clean the house routine!" Zoe ran to Zita.

"Max tripped over a banana peel," she said, as she lifted Chomp up. Max went hysterical when Chomp bit her noes. Ace was dragging one of Rex's shirts.

"Ahh! Ace! Why did you do that! Zoe's here! She's a girl!" He quickly disappeared, scooping up Ace. Zita frowned and put a hand on her hip.

"What am I? Chopped liver?" Max laughed.

"As if, to me, your everything." Zita giggled shyly as Max wrapped his arms around her. Zoe smiled.

"Wow, I have never heard you so sincere since.. um... never." The girls laughed. Rex scrambled in and tripped over sleeping Kari and knocked over Zoe.

"Yow." Rex blushed and started to ramble on and on about if Zoe was okay and that he was so very very very very very very sorry. Max and Zita sweat-dropped and than started to laugh. Zita looked at Zoe.

"Well.." Zoe nodded and cupped her hands.

"Alright! So Dr. and Mrs. Taylor are gone, so that means clean up time! Max, clean your room and whats trash is TRASH! Rex, get the vaccum, Zita, Do what you can and I'll do whatever I can." The four started racing around the house. Everyonce in a while, you would hear Zoe say something to the dinosaurs, or Max's complaining, or Rex moaning, and Zita keep telling the boys to speed up.

After an hour of treaterous work (to the boys) they were done. Every one fell onto the couch in the living room. "Uh, the house is clean." said Zita.

Max rubbed his elbows. "You did like half of the chores. And your not tired."

Zita shrugged, she was used to doing more chores. "I guess not." She looked at Zoe and Rex, who were having a conversation, both smiling and slightly blushing. "Say, dont you have an Element Booster for your dinosaurs?" Max leaned over.

"Yea, Dr. Z made them. Mabey Reese can make you one too."

Zita thought for a moment, "Cool, I would love that I-" A beep inturupted them. All four looked at there Dino Holders.

"A dinosuar," said Rex.

"In New York City!" exclaimed Zoe. Zita leaped into the air.

"Alright! I love NYC!"

Rod leaned over his homework. He wasn't paying attention, as usual. Laura tapped his arm, "You better pay attention, or Helga will get mad." Rod looked at his sister and sighed.

"I can't pay attention." Laura spun in her chair.

"Why, because Max has Zita now as a girlfriend." Rod clenched his fist.

"Errrggg, why did you have to remind me!" he said. Laura fiddled with her fingers.

"Zita likes Max. And Max likes Zita. They live together. You can't really changes their feelings for each other Rod." Rod looked at a wall.

"I can try," he mumbled. Laura heard him.

"Rod, if you try to break them up, do you know what will happen if Zita found out. She'll hate you. That's what. Maybe you should talk to Seth. He has some girl close to him. Why do you think he was gone all the time in 2126." Rod scratched his head.

"Yea, I wondered why. I suppose and hey! A dinosaur!" The sibling looked at each other and raced down to their grandfather. Dr. Z was in the main laboratory, along with the Alpha Gang. Ursula was giving Zander and Ed the 'I am not an old lady' speech again. Rod tapped the shoulder of Dr.Z.

"Grandpa, can we go get it." Dr. Z shook his head.

"No Rod, your not done with your homework, and besides, there is a new missile I want to test, so Alpha Gang, hop to it!" Ursula and the men sighed and dragged themselves out of the room, grabbing the Alpha Scanners along the way.

"Why do we have to try out the missile," asked Ed.
