Should have told, though. Thanks for the party, I think. Chaosti, you were close. Okay, chapter countdown! Only two chapters left after this one! (Trying hard to finish it up.) Does anyone want a sequel? Here's the next chapter, Enjoy!

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg!

The children all practically ran out of their classrooms. It was almost the last day of school, and they all liked to pretend that it actually was the last day of school. As Gracie headed toward her mom's car, Chris ran after her and grabbed her shoulder.

"Hey, you want to come over today?" He asked her. "Luke just got the new House of the Dead video game and he said we could play it."

Gracie shook her head. "Sorry, can't. Joey's baby sitting me today." She told him. "But maybe tomorrow, cause I really want to play that game." He shrugged and she went over to her mom's car and hopped in.

-Later-

Vicky stopped her car in front of the house. "All right, I have to go. Be a good girl for Joey, okay?" Gracie nodded and gave her a hug. "Bye baby."

"Bye Mommy." Gracie got out of the car and waved as her mom drove off. She then turned and climbed the steps up to her house. She knocked on the door. No one came to answer it. "Joey?" She called out, but still no one answered the door. She shrugged 'Maybe he forgot' She thought to herself. She tried the door handle, and it was unlocked.

She cautiously opened the door and came inside. She saw that her father must have been there earlier, since there were boxes out from him packing. It didn't seem like anyone was home. She closed the door behind her and looked around some more. "Joey?" She called out again.

"Hee hee hee."

She turned toward the living room. The giggling had definitely had come from the living room. She came inside and found a single, huge box sitting in the middle of the floor. "Joey? Are you here?" She asked.

"Hee hee hee." The box answered.

Gracie came closer and carefully touched the edge of it. "Joey? Are you in the box?" She asked again.

Joey jumped out of the box. "Yeah, it's me. How'd you know?"

She smirked. "Cause boxes don't giggle." She told him as she giggled herself.

He frowned. "Oh." He mumbled as he climbed out of the box. "So, Gracie, do you have homework to do? You should do your homework first."

She shook her head. "It's Friday. We don't have homework on Friday." She told him as she put her back down by the couch. Her stomach growled. "Can we have food? My tummy is hungry." She told him.

He nodded and they went into the kitchen. "What do you want to eat?"

She thought for a second. "Can we eat duck?" She asked him.

He took a step back, horrified. "No, ducks are our friends. No eating ducks." He told her.

She pouted. "But I thought that was what ducks are here for." She said, confused. Joey shook his head and took out his wallet he pulled something out and handed it to her. Gracie tilted her head as she looked at it. She looked back at Joey. "Why do you have a picture of a duck and a chicken?" she asked him.

"Well, these birds were my pets. So if we eat ducks and chickens, it's like we're eating my pets, so no eating pets." He told her.

She nodded. "Okay. What were their names?"

"Duck and Chick." He told her proudly. "Hey, how about a sandwich?" He asked her, and she nodded.

After she had finished her snack, she made Joey come upstairs with her to her room. She took him over to her stuffed animals and started introducing him to them. "And this is Edgar, and this is Fufu, and this is Myron, and this is Bugs, and this is Buttercup, and this is Sammi, and this is Johnson, and this is Mark, and this is Dusty, and this is Jesse, and this is Charmander, and this is Yugi, and this is Rogue, and this is Gambit." She told him as she stuffed his arms with them.

He deposited them on the bed and looked at them. "Uh, Grace, why do they all have sewing marks on them?" He asked her.

"Because I autopsied them." She told him sweetly. She grabbed one of her Barbie cars and then she grabbed her Bugs Bunny. She put him on the floor and ran over him with her Barbie car. "Oops, all dead." She said with a sigh. She picked up Bugs and put him onto her table that was suppose to be used for tea parties. She grabbed her mini doctor's bag and took out a mask and some gloves. She put them on and turned to Joey.

"Wanna help me give Bugs an autopsy?" She asked him. "I'll let you take out his brains."

Joey gulped as he shook his head. "Nah, I'm not the autopsy type." He told her as he looked around her room for something else for them to do. He saw her take out some scissors that she planned on using as a scalpel. "Hey, why don't we play with your Barbies'?" He suggested quickly.

Gracie looked between them and her Bugs. "Wellllllllllllll," She said as she kept looking between the two. She finally put her 'scalpel' down and took off her mask and gloves. "Okay." He sighed in relief.

She went over to the other side of the room and took out her Barbies. Joey sat down across from her and she handed him one. "You can play with this one. Her name is Felicity." She told him.

He looked at Felicity and nodded. "Hey, how you doin'?"

"She says she is fine." Gracie told him as she picked up a Teresa doll and started dressing her up.

"Which doll is that?" He asked.

"This one is Vicky, like my Mommy." She told him cheerfully. She picked up a ken doll and put it next to the Teresa doll. "And this one is Joey." She told him.

He smiled. "Aw, you didn't have to name one after me." He told her.

"Yes, I did. I had to give Vicky a new husband doll because she and Daddy, I mean Jake got a divorce. Jake doll is over there." She stopped to point over to the side where one Ken doll was covered in numerous Barbie dolls. "So now, Joey is Vicky's new husband."

Joey shook his head. "Wait, Uh, Joey is not Vicky's new husband." He told her.

She looked at him confused. "He's not? Then what is he?" She asked.

"Joey is Mama's, I mean Vicky, Vicky's boyfriend."

She tilted her head to the side. "What's a boyfriend?"

Joey sighed as he struggled for words. "Uh, a boyfriend? A boyfriend is... Is what you call the guy in a... a... hm, relationship where two people really like each other, and, they, uh, date and have fun... But they aren't quite yet ready to get married or anything... Yeah, it's kinda like that." He explained out.

Gracie stared at him for a few seconds. "So, a boyfriend is a guy that a girl likes, and he likes her too, but they're not married? Only dating?" She asked him.

He nodded. "Yeah, you hit the hammer on the head." He told her.

"So Joey is Mama's boyfriend?" She asked. He nodded. She thought about it again and then scowled. "Man!"

"What?"

"They call Chris my boyfriend, but he's not!" She complained as she shook herself off from the grossness of it.

Joey looked at her seriously. "Chris? Isn't that one of your Uncle Danny's kids?" Gracie nodded. "Well, you better tell him that he better be a good boyfriend and not break your heart or else I will come after him." He told her.

Gracie laughed and shook her head. "I said he wasn't my boyfriend. You're silly, Joey." She told him.

He smiled and shrugged. "Yeah, I guess."

"Besides, if you hurt Chris, not only would Uncle Danny kick you're behind, but Beth would take out her witchy blade and chop you up like how Aunt Sara does." Gracie told him seriously.

Joey looked at her curiously. "What did you say?" He asked her.

Gracie covered her mouth. "Oops." She mumbled.

"No 'Oops'. What were you talking about? What's a witchy blade?" He asked her.

She shrugged. "I don't know. Let's watch TV." She told him as she got up and started dragging him back downstairs. "We can watch 'Forensic Files'! Yay!"

He shook his head. 'I like Vicky and her friends, and I really like Gracie, but sometimes I swear that they are hiding something, like their all part of some cult or such. And witchy blade? Are they part of a coven or something? Yeah, that's it. Must speak to Vicky about it.' He thought to himself. He watched Gracie turn the Television on to Court TV and clapped when 'Forensic files' came on. He shook his head again and sighed. 'Only Gracie.'
