Eli: Everyone loves the powerpuff girls!! Thank you everyone for all the
reviews!! Mako, you wouldn't BELIEVE my family. Wizard, I think I'll make
you a hat for the part. **hands over virtual hat.** Here's the next
chapter, Enjoy!!
After Ian and Sara had removed every trace of them ever playing Powerpuff girls and swore the girls to secrecy, the girls announced that they were hungry. Eli started leading Una to the kitchen. The adults were about to follow when they turned around and stopped them.
"Nu uh! We gonna make lunch!" Eli announced. Una nodded in agreement. "You guys stay here, we'll get you when we're done." And before anyone could protest, they started running off toward the kitchen.
Ian winced as he watched them run toward the kitchen, hardheartedly remembering the night Eli had tried to make dinner and they had ended up with ordering pizza. He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and started looking through it.
Sara looked at him curiously. "What are you doing?"
"I'm looking for the phone number to Domino's and putting it on auto dial." He replied.
She rolled her eyes and flipped the cover of his cell phone back down, turning it off. "Don't do that, it can't be that bad." She told him. Just then, a glass object breaking could be heard from the kitchen.
"Don't worry, we got it!" Una screamed from the kitchen.
Ian sighed as Sara bit her lip. "On the other hand, I don't think it's such a bad idea to have back up."
Sara flopped down onto the couch as he fiddled with his cell phone. "So, how long will you be baby sitting Eli?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "I am not sure. I was told that her Father and Mr. Irons would return before now, but I have been unable to get in contact with either of them."
"Well, do you think something happened to them? That they're..." She made a slashing motion across her throat.
Ian shook his head. "No, I would know if it was that. The whole world would. But something is happening, wherever they are." He replied quietly as he put his cell phone away. "Do you often baby sit for your partner?"
"No, usually his niece does. But since she's spending the weekend with her parents, he asked me to." She looked up at him. "Hey, no hard feelings about pushing you earlier, right?" She asked him.
He nodded. "But I am still unsure why you did in the first place."
"Well," she explained. "They were pretty upset when they couldn't defeat you, and I thought they were going to bring out the water works. So I did what I knew would stop them, I defeated the bad guy, and, sadly, you just happened to be who they chose to be the bad guy."
"So it that what I was suppose to be?" He asked curiously.
She nodded. "Yeah, and be glad. You didn't get your hair out to the sides of your head and get called 'Bubbles'." She told him.
"So you consider being called Bubbles worst than being called Mojo Jojo?" He shook his head. "I think you were the lucky one. And you didn't get knocked over."
"Hey, I apologized for it." She snapped at him. "Besides, it didn't hurt."
"Yes, and I think watching you pretending to fly around was rewarding enough." He smirked and looked around the room. "I wonder if the camera picked that up. I'm sure your precinct would love to see such an act, once I edit anything with myself out." He teased.
Her jaw dropped. "You wouldn't." He simply tilted his head and smirked even more. She threw the pillow next to her at him. He moved out of the way, and it collided with Eli's head.
"Hey!" She yelled out angrily as she started glaring at both of them.
"Oops. Sorry, half pint." Sara apologized.
Eli looked at her and smiled. "All right, but no more throwing pillows." She scolded.
Ian tried not to laugh as Sara nodded. Sara glared at him, and he looked down. Eli looked at them and shook her head. Adults were so crazy. "Anyway, lunch is ready. C'mon!" She told them.
In the kitchen, Una was sitting on the counter next to a plate full of sandwiches. Ian was relieved that everything wasn't broken and that it was still mostly clean. Eli climbed onto the counter with her. She pushed the plate to the edge, toward them. "Try one." Una told them.
Ian was hesitant to, so Sara picked one up and shrugged. She looked at it. It appeared to be an ordinary peanut butter sandwich, with peanut butter seeping out. The only weird thing is that they had stuck a cherry on top with a tooth pick. She ignored it and took a bite.
She nodded her head at the very unique flavor of the sandwich. She faked a closed mouth smile and motioned for Ian to try one. He carefully picked one up and took a bite. At first it wasn't bad, and then the mixture of flavors got so bad he felt like gagging.
He swallowed the awful lot and tried not to wince. Ian opened up the sandwich and then looked to the young girls. "What is this?" He asked them.
"Well," Eli started. "Ya see, first we wanted Peanut butter and jelly, and then we wanted s'mores, and then ice cream sundaes."
"And so," Una continued. "We decided to mix them all up. There's peanut butter, jelly, bread, grahm crackers, marshmallows, chocolate syrup, a little ice cream, whip cream, and a cherry." She explained as she picked up her sandwich and started eating.
"Yup, we call them 'S'more sundae sandwiches.'" Eli said before she took a huge bite out of her sandwich. "Mmmmmmmm." She said. "Rlly ood." She mumbled in between bites.
Ian nodded. "I think I will eat mine later." He put the sandwich back onto the counter and turned around to leave. Sara saw him take out his cell phone and press a button.
'Domino's?" She mouthed to him. He nodded.
Eli and Una returned to the living room and started watching 'Beauty and the Beast'. They sat on the couch with their pokemon and sang along with it. They both thought they heard the door bell rang, but just then "There's Something There' came on and they wanted to sing it with Belle and the Beast. After it had ended, Eli smelled something familiar and turned her head in the direction of the kitchen.
"Una, do you smell that?" Eli asked her.
Una tilted her head and nodded. "Uh huh. It smells like...." Their eyes went wide.
"Pizza!" They both shouted together. They got up and went to the kitchen. "Is there pizza?" They yelled as they were still in the hallway. They heard whispering and moving as they peered in through the door.
The adults were just standing around in front of the table. "There's no pizza here." Ian told them calmly.
Eli tilted her head. "Are you sure?" She asked him seriously.
He nodded. "Very sure. Now, why don't you two go watch your movie?"
The little girls eyed the adults suspiciously. "All right." Eli said quietly as she and Una walked back out of the kitchen.
The adults sighed and brought back out their lunch as the little girls went back to the living room, just praying that they did not come in unexpectedly again.
As they walked back, Una looked at all the things that decorated the walls. "This place is like a castle!"
"I know! It's just like the Beast's castle in 'Beauty and the Beast'. Exactly like it." Eli told her.
Una got excited. "Really? Is there a west wing?!" She asked.
Eli thought for a second and then nodded. "Uh huh, I'll show you."
Instead of going back to the living room, Eli led her up the stairs. She led Una to her room first to get a few things. Una looked around at the room, cluttered with Eli's things as Eli grabbed a few things. "Is this your room?"
"Uh huh." She mumbled.
Una thought for a moment. "So is Ian your dad?" She asked.
Eli shook her head. "He's just my baby sitter till my Daddy and Iron man get back." She told her. "C'mon, now I'll show you the west wing." She said as she led her a few doors down.
Una looked through an open door and gasped. "The window is broken in there! What happened?" Eli bit her lip and shrugged as they moved on.
"Here it is!" Eli said as she pushed the door opened. It was unlocked, as always. Una looked around.
"Yeah, this is the west wing, except it's cleaner." Una exclaimed as Eli smiled and put her crayons and paper on the table by the window.
"Oh, look Una, it's raining!" Eli said as she pointed.
"I wish we could play in the puddles." Una said with a sigh.
Eli sighed as well. "I know. Tony used to let me play in the puddles with me." She said quietly.
"Whose Tony?" Una asked.
"He's my big brother."
"Where is he?"
"I don't know, he went away a long time ago."
"Oh, why?"
"Because he didn't get along with Lily. And he said he would talk to the TV people. Lily and Daddy don't like the TV people. They say they look where they're not suppose to." Eli stated sadly. "Hey, this west wing has no rose!"
Una looked around. "You're right. Maybe we should make one." She suggested as she sat down at the table and picked up the pink crayon.
"Yeah, good idea!" Eli said as she took the green crayon and helped draw the rose. When they finished, they put the picture against the statue in the middle of the table. "There, now it really is the west wing."
"Does a beast sleep here?" Una asked anxiously.
"No, don't be silly. Ian sleeps here." She told her as she giggled. "Or, maybe Ian was a beast, but then a princess made him human again." She mused.
Una thought about it. "Well, if that's true, then where's the princess?" She asked curiously.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe she's in hiding cause it's a secret." Eli suggested.
Una nodded. "Oh!" She exclaimed. "My Daddy once made fun of Auntie Sara because he says her name means 'Princess' and she acts nothing like a princess. Do you think....?"
Eli nodded. "Of course! Sara! He likes her, he told me! Wow, they're a fairy tale!" The little girls then laughed, knowing how silly it all sounded. Eli went over to the closet and opened it.
"Eli, whatcha doin'?" Una asked curiously.
"I'm gonna dress up like a boy." Eli announced as she pulled a pair of combat boots out from the closet. "Whoa, there are heavy." She groaned as she pulled them up next to the bed.
"Those are too big for you!" Una told her as Eli climbed onto the bed.
"So, I can try to wear them." Eli announced as she slipped off the bed and into the boots. She giggled as she touched the tops. They went up her legs onto her tighs. She tried to move forward, but couldn't. "Uh oh...." She muttered as she tried to move again, and failed.
"What?" Una asked.
"I can't move!" Eli exclaimed. "Help me!"
Una grabbed her hands and pulled. Eli fell forward, falling out of the boots and onto the floor. She giggled as got up. "I don't like boots." She said, and then yawned.
"Are you tired?" Una asked her.
"No, are you?" Eli asked her. She shook her head. "Okay, then let's draw pictures."
"Yeah!" Una agreed.
-Later-
About half an hour later, the adults found the girls asleep at the table in Ian's room. It looked as if they had been drawing and then fell asleep. Sara looked at he little girls work carefully. The one that Una had been working on had a big black figure person, and a smaller green one with a big heart drawn around them. Sara bit her lip. Then she took it, folded it, and stuffed it into her pocket.
"What was that?" Ian asked her as he gathered up Eli's things to take back to her room.
Sara shrugged. "Nothing, just a picture that I think she wanted to go to her mom and dad. Do you think we should let them take a nap?"
He nodded as he put her crayons and papers into his jacket pocket to later put back into her room. All except the picture of the rose, that one he decided to keep there. He shook Eli's shoulder. "Eli? Wake up so you can go to your room." He told her quietly.
Eli mumbled and shook her head. He sighed, and with one quick motion, picked her up off her chair. He turned to Sara. "Can you get Una?" She nodded and picked up the other little girl. He led her out of his room and into Eli's, where he dropped the little girl off on one side of the bed. When he set her down, she moaned and mumbled something that Sara couldn't make out. Ian nodded and turned to Sara. "I'll be right back."
Sara put Una on the other side of the bed and pulled the covers up and over both girls. Ian returned, the pikachu and squirttle in hands. He put the squirttle next to Una and gave Eli her pikachu, which she immediately snuggled into. He tucked her in, even though Sara already had. She noticed the little action and smirked.
"Well, they certainly look like angels now that they're asleep." She said. He nodded. "Didn't know kids could be so deceiving." She joked.
He smirked. "I know. Let's let them sleep." He said as they left the room and closed the door.
After Ian and Sara had removed every trace of them ever playing Powerpuff girls and swore the girls to secrecy, the girls announced that they were hungry. Eli started leading Una to the kitchen. The adults were about to follow when they turned around and stopped them.
