Okay more fluffy fun with the gang! Fluff is so much fun!

Quality Time Can Be Fun

Low Light staggered into the kitchen. He had been up half the night because it was his turn to watch the baby and just his luck Claudius had been coming down with a slight cold. Normally staying up at night wouldn't have bothered him but he had already been up nearly two days in a row. Plus now he felt like he had caught the baby's cold. Needless to say his mood was considerably less cheerful than it usually was.

"Hi Low Light!" Todd said in a very cheerful voice when he staggered in. "How's it going?"

"Shut up or die," Low Light growled.

"Don't you mind Low Light," Roadblock waved. Althea and Xi were also in the kitchen. "He ain't feeling right."

"That is putting it mildly," Low Light grumbled. "I am probably coming down with pneumonia or something that will probably either kill me or put me in the hospital."

"Oh don't exaggerate," Althea waved. "All you have is a little cold. Why are men such babies when it comes to these things?"

"What are you three doing here?" Low Light moaned. "Besides learning how to have any lack of sympathy for the dying?"

"We're going to learn how to bake a cake!" Todd said cheerfully.

"I must admit I find this interesting," Xi said.

"Hey it was either this or makeup lessons with the twins," Althea told him.

"Makeup lessons?" Low Light asked.

"Cover Girl is giving a makeup lesson," Althea told him. "To Fred and Pietro. Wanda's there helping. Don't ask."

"I wasn't going to!" Low Light groaned.

Just then the triplets bounced in. "Hello!" Brittany sang.

"What are you three doing here?" Roadblock asked. "I thought you were hanging around with your father?"

"We were," Daria said. "But then he decided to take a nap."

"When?" Roadblock asked.

"When he hit his head on a tree," Quinn said simply.

"I'm not even gonna ask," Roadblock sighed. "Do you want to help us with this task?"

"I'm gonna take a nap," Low Light sighed. "Before I feel any worse!"

"Oh really?" Quinn looked at him. "You're sick are you?"

"Girls I think we have a patient," Brittany grinned.

"Oh no," Low Light gulped. "No…No I'm fine! Really! I'm fine!"

"We'll take care of him!" Daria said pushing Low Light towards the door.

"No, please somebody help me!" Low Light pleaded as the Triplets dragged him away.

"For God's sake girls don't kill him!" Roadblock called out. "Well back to baking!"

"I must admit that this interests me," Xi said. "I have never given much thought to food preparations before. This will be interesting to learn."

"Baking is a very important skill," Roadblock said. "Now those pans we'll start to fill." He took out some flour. "First we measure the flour. Go on Xi, you try."

Xi did so. So did Althea and Todd with their pans. However Todd spilled his a little. "Hey watch it!" Althea remarked when Todd spilled a little on her sleeve. She tossed some flour onto him.

"You watch it!" Todd took some flour and threw a tiny bit into her face.

"Hey you could have hurt me with that!" Althea snapped. She grabbed a handful of flour and tossed it back at him.

"All I did was toss a little of this!" Todd tossed a small pinch. "You're the one who overreacted and did this!" He tossed a huge scoop of flour at her.

Xi blinked through the flour dust. "This is how you bake?"

"Not really no," Roadblock groaned. "Kids will you cut it out!"

"She started it!" Todd pointed.

"He started it!" Althea pointed at the same time.

"I did not!" Todd snapped.

"Yes you did!" Althea snapped. "You started throwing the flour!"

"No I didn't I just spilled some," Todd said. "You were the one who started to throw the flour!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did…HEY!" Althea gasped when Xi threw some flour at her. Then Xi threw some flour at Todd.

"Hey Xi what did you do that for?" Todd snapped.

"You both started it," Xi said.

"Oh yeah?" Althea grabbed some flour.

"Yeah!" Todd grabbed some flour as well and got a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Here we go," Roadblock sighed. "I don't like that look in their eyes, you better disappear Xi!"

Xi turned invisible just as the two of them tossed the flour. However some of it landed on Xi making part of him visible. "FLOUR FIGHT!" Todd cried out.

"Oh what the heck," Roadblock sighed as he grabbed some flour. "Wouldn't be the first time the kitchen was a wreck!" He started tossing the flour around as well. Soon everyone and everything was covered in flour.

After a while Shipwreck wobbled in. He took a look at the state of the kitchen and the combatants covered in white. "What happened here?" He asked.

"Well we didn't get any baking done," Roadblock smirked. "But we did have a lot of fun."

"I can see that," Shipwreck looked around. "Cover Girl is having a party of her own with Blob, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch. They're all giving each other facials and doing each other's nails. And when I left I saw Tauros getting into the act. It's getting weird there."

"Oh by the way," Althea said. "Low Light's not feeling well so the Triplets are playing doctor."

"Oh goody. Where is Lance and Spirit?" Shipwreck asked. "I haven't seen either of them since last night."

"Lance is out with Spirit on survival training as well as other stuff," Roadblock said. "They won't be back for a few days."

"What is he doing?" Shipwreck asked.

"Some kind of vision quest," Roadblock shrugged. "It's supposed to help him with his powers as well as train him."

"Well that sounds like a lot of fun," Shipwreck sighed. "What doesn't is rescuing Low Light from the clutches of the Evil Ones."

"Well we'd all better get up there and stop them before they kill 'em," Althea sighed as she got up.

"What about this mess?" Roadblock asked.

"We'll clean it up as soon as we get back," Althea said. "On second thought Todd you go help my dad while we start cleaning up the kitchen. It'll be faster that way."

"You have a point," Roadblock smirked.

Todd trudged upstairs with Shipwreck, leaving little trails of flour as he went. "Well here we go," Shipwreck grumbled. "Prepare yourself for a shock." He opened the door. "Oh my!"

Low Light lay there on his bed peacefully asleep. He was also wearing only his boxers. The girls were standing around in little doctor outfits. "What is it with you girls and stripping guys?" Shipwreck groaned.

"We have to give him his sponge bath," Daria said.

"Oh no you don't!" Shipwreck snapped.

"Shhh! Don't disturb our patient," Quinn said. "He's sleeping."

Todd checked up on him. "Hey he is asleep! You didn't give him any drugs or anything did you?"

"Certainly not!" Brittany sniffed. "Our treatments are all natural."

"All natural?" Todd raised an eyebrow.

"Well it's pretty natural to be unconscious if you're hit by a mallet," Daria told him as she held up a little rubber mallet.

"He wouldn't go to sleep anyway," Quinn told them.

"Well I think right now you three better let him rest and go help clean up in the kitchen," Shipwreck ordered. "Come on kid, we'd better make sure he's okay."

Just then Sarge walked in. "Okay what's with all the flour?" He asked. He took a look at Todd. "Never mind. And what happened to Low Light?"

"The triplets," Shipwreck told him.

Just then Pietro zoomed in with his face in a green mask. "Hey anybody else want a free facial? It turns out Blob's real good at doing it! He also did my toenails as well!"

Sarge shook his head. "This place is getting weirder every day!"

"This is nothing," Shipwreck told him. "You should see how they are when they're really hyper!"

Up next, Lance undergoes a grueling physical and mental ritual. As well as some torments by an unexpected guest!
