Babysitter Troubles (2)
Small Talk
Hey people, thanks for the reviews! Very much appreciated… *sweatdrops* here goes another chapter….
~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~
i Dr. Brown comes back from work noticing the absence of the newly hired babysitter. /i
"Hey, what happened to Rory?" asked Andy Brown.
"Ephram fired her," said Delia.
Andy Brown looks over at Ephram holding a copy of u Ayashi no Ceres /u. "Ephram, do you know how many babysitters I've interviewed before I finally decided on Rory Gilmore? This girl is a genius. She's read every book I know, she drives, and I think she's really friendly and a good role model for you and Delia."
Ephram looks away. "Well you know what dad, I can be a role model for Delia. We don't need that girl. b I /b certainly don't need a babysitter." He starts heading up the stairs back to his room.
"Well, I don't care what you think Ephram. I'm hiring that girl back. If you really want to be a role model for Delia, you'd have your driver's license by now."
Delia smiles smugly at Ephram, "Yeh… I think I might need a ride to Brittany's…"
Ephram glares at Delia and continues up the stairs.

It's been three hours, and Ephram is still at his desk procrastinating over his "flaw" essay. i Hey, I could write about my inability to express my love for Amy? How about my messed up family life? Or the fact that I have two girls as friends at school? *sigh* I HATE THIS ESSAY! /i "Whatever, I'm going to bed," he muttered.

"Oh, it's you," observed Ephram as he rubbed his eyes..
"Good morning to you too, Mr. Morning-Person," said Rory. "Want some coffee? Your coffee machine is W-E-I-R-D…. So I decided to buy everybody coffee when I came."
Ephram notices the cups of coffee on the table. "You bought four cups of coffee?"
"Actually, Andy took a cup this morning."
i Did she just call my dad Andy? This girl is pissing me off more and more. /i "So that means five cups in total. If one cup is for me, that leaves three." Then he finally gets it. " b You bought a cup of coffee for my sister!?!?!? /b "
Rory grins, "Yup, and two for me. This early in the morning and no coffee. It's insane."
"She's eight!"
"Hey, my mother fed me coffee when we ran out of milk powder." Rory goes on to open a brown paper bag. "Look, muffins."
"You'd figure my dad would hire someone who could cook, " muttered Ephram.
"What did you say?"
"Uh… nothing." Ephram grabbed a muffin, "Listen, I'm going to school now. Just don't mess around with anything."
"Fo – sho! I'll see you after school then.
