Summary: Set in my AU. Robots don't make good babysitters. Even if they mean well.
"Come on Andrea. It's time for your nap," Bluestreak tried to catch the small human to put her in her bed.
"Noooo!" Andrea refused. Her eyes glistened and threatened to run over with angry tears.
"Mommy said you had to go for one. Look, you are sleepy," Bluestreak tried explaining.
"No! Not tired!" The little girl couldn't stifle the yawn.
"Look, if you got for your nap, when you get up you can had a –" Bluestreak was getting desparate.
"Don't say it! No!" Hound tried to stop him.
"—treat," Bluestreak finished.
"Treat!" Andrea sang out. She looked expectantly at the two Exiles.
"Let's go for a nap, then treat," Bluestreak tried again.
"Treat!" Andrea demanded, jumping up and down.
"Now you've done it," Hound admonished.
"Treat!" Andrea started to sob. She fell in a heap on the floor.
"Oops," Bluestreak was contrite.
"sigh" Hound picked he up and gives her the promised treat.
"Treat!" Andrea held it up and waved it triumphantly.
When Gwen and Brad came to pick up Andrea from her Exile babysitters that evening, they took one look at the defiant little face and said, "No nap?"
"Nope," Hound looked ready for a nap himself. Bluestreak looked both sheepish and exhausted and was amazingly quiet.
"How come?" Brad inquired.
"Blue used the 'T' word."
