Lance sat in the Computer Lab editing some footage for the one tape. He had saved all the files of the pieces of footage he was going to use to disk, so in case something happened that he wanted to put in, he could. A good example was Em's first two words. In fact that was what he was editing when Kitty walked in.


~At least I'm in the back. Maybe she won't notice me.~ Lance couldn't believe that he didn't want Kitty to notice him. ~Call Ripley's everybody!~ He shrunk down into his seat, and quickly finished what he was doing. He clicked the SAVE button as Kitty sat down in the front row. ~C'mon, hurry it up!~ It was half way done when Tabby came in. ~Uh-oh.~


"Lance! You in here?" Tabby shouted. Then she noticed Kitty. "Well looky here. Go lookin' for a bad boy and run into a good girl. What are you doin' in here?"


"None of your business Tabitha." Lance heard Kitty reply. ~Yes! Saved! Now I gotta get out of here...~


"Yeah whatever. Is Rocky in here or not?"


"Who's Rocky? I thought you were lookin' for Lance." Kitty the airhead said. ~I think I'll take that as my cue, and run out of here.~


"Right here Tabby." Lance walked up to her, avoiding looking at Kitty. "Uh, look at the time, gotta run." He grabbed Tabby by the arm and dragged her out of there. "Close call."


"With her? You could've told the entire story to her face and she still wouldn't have a clue." Tabby told him.


"Got a point there. Can't believe I ever liked her."


"And ya still do, you pathetic moron." Growled Tabby.


"Hey, what's up with you?"


"Had a little run-in of my own with Jean. I tried to block my mind as best as I could but I think she might've gotten in."


"Shit." Lance said.


"Got that right. So what do we do, oh great leader?" Tabby asked as they reached the jeep. (This was after school.)


"What can we do? Don't tell the others, that's for sure. They don't need to know. And I guess we wait, and see what happens." Lance started up the jeep.


"Great plan."


"You got a better idea?" No answer. "That's what I thought."


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Smile Lance!" Pietro shoved the camera in his face. Lance did a split-second smile and walked off. "C'mon Tabby, show that smile!"


"I'll show you why they call me Boom Boom if ya don't get that thing outta my face!" Tabby stalked off upstairs.


"What's up with her?" Pietro asked Lance.


"Hell if I know." Lance lied. "Where's Em?"


"Sleeping. She'll wake up soon, and it'll be bath time!"


"Joy oh joy. Look, I'm going to bed early. I don't feel good." Lance went upstairs. Pietro shook his head at him.


"Grumpy." He muttered to himself.


"Hey Pietro, she's awake!" Todd's voice came from the living room. Ever since Em had been around, Todd had been taking baths, because he wasn't allowed near her otherwise. It was a miracle.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Aaah! I'm soaked!" Pietro proclaimed. Todd was too. Fred, who wasn't, was holding the camera.


"C'mon, Pietro, jump in!" Todd said as he jumped in behind Em. Pietro grinned and did so.


"Guys, wave to the camera!" Fred said. Pietro was busy styling his hair with the baby shampoo, but Todd waved, and using his other hand, had Em wave her hand too.


"Whaddya think of my hair Em?" Pietro had his two long bangs stick straight up, as well as the rest of his hair. Todd fell backwards laughing. Em laughed her head off.


"Look at mine!" Todd soaped up his mop of hair and got it to stick straight out sideways. Em laughed some more. "Hey, almost all of the water's gone! We can't have that! Turn the faucet on!"


Pietro complied, and left it running. Soon there was more water on the floor than in the tub. Finally tho', after all the fun, it was time to get out. As Fred dried Em off, Pietro and Todd got into some clean and dry clothes. Pietro then dressed Em in the sleeper he had made for her. Like everything else, it was pink.


"Time for beddy-bye!" Todd said, taking Em downstairs to her basket. As he laid her down, she began to cry. He quickly picked her up and held her for a while, then tried to set her down again, but she cried.


"What's wrong?" Fred asked, coming down the stairs.


"Every time I try to put her in the basket she cries." Todd told him.


"Maybe we should wait until she falls asleep while being held, then put her in the basket." Fred suggested.


"I'm tired. No offense Em, but I ain't gonna hold you all night!"


"My mom used to sing to me to make me go to sleep. It always worked." Fred told him.


"It's worth a try. What should we sing?" Todd asked.


"Hmm... I can sing the song my mom sang to me." Todd nodded, and Fred began to sing. (He actually wasn't half bad.) "Go to sleep little babe, go to sleep little babe, you're momma's gone away and you're daddy's gonna stay, didn't leave nobody but the baby..."


Fred sang the song twice. Finally, Em was in a deep sleep. Todd set her down, and she didn't wake up. They were so enchanted by her sleeping, that they didn't notice Pietro laughing in his corner. He had taped the entire thing. Lance was gonna love this piece for his special video.
