Babysitting
The men were staring at the girls, who are now 10, in disbelief as the girls were sleeping away on the carpet. They were silent until Christie wakes up from her short nap on the cozy carpet. She looks at them hazy and yawns loudly. After a moment, her sleepy look turns to an enthusiastic look as she jumps on her feet and grins at them.
Christie: Hi! I'm Christie! Who are you? (She looks at them confused.)
Paul: Uh…. (His hand was pulled down by her.)
Christie: Hi, Uh! (She shakes it energetically.) I better go! See you! (She runs out of the room quickly.)
The men stare at her as she runs around and jumps on ceilings or walls like a chimpanzee going crazy. Kazuya looks around and pats Eddy on the shoulder.
Kazuya: Good luck. (Eddy looks at him weirdly.)
Eddy: For what?
Kazuya: For babysitting Christie.
Eddy: Babysitting! ME! Why!
Kazuya: No one here is close to her except for the girls and you.
Lei: He's right. I think it's a good idea to baby-sit them till they turn back. First, let's catch her.
Paul: Hold on. Hey, Christie! (She runs to him.)
Christie: Yeah, Uh!
Paul: This is going to be your babysitter today. (He points to Eddy. She looks at him.)
Christie: Him? All right, hey, babysitter! (Eddy looks at her.) Can't catch me! (She runs off leaving him behind.)
Eddy: Hold on! (He starts to run after her.)
Lei: That settles it. I'll combine you with the kids. Jin: Xiaoyu, Lee: Anna, Hwoarang: Julia, Marshall: Asuka, and Steve: Nina. Go get the kids and do something while I investigate this. (The others walk away as the men pick up the sleeping kids and walk away leaving Lei to search.)

(Eddy and Christie)
Eddy: Christie, come down from there!
Eddy was on floor while Christie was hanging onto an expensive chandelier as she smiles at her. She grins at him as he pleads with her.
Christie: I won't!
He starts thinking of how to get her down until he thought an excellent idea. He runs to the kitchen leaving her confused and returns back as he holds up a carton of rocky road ice cream.
Eddy: Look what I got. (He waves the carton around.)
Christie: I won't be lured by ice cream.
Eddy: Okay, but I'll eat it to not waste a perfect treat. (He opens the lid and was about to taste.)
Christie: Um….wait! (She jumps down from the chandelier and swipes the carton out of his hand.)
I won't eat it, I'm just going to throw eat away.
Eddy: Make sure you don't make a mess. (She walks away.)
Christie: Like I said, I'm not going to eat it!

(Jin and Xiaoyu)
Jin was sitting on a leather chair as Xiaoyu was sleeping on a tan couch. She sleeps for five minutes till she wakes up and sees Jin sitting beside her. Her face brightens as she jumps off the couch and onto Jin. He was startled as she grasped against him. She looks up at him with big bright eyes.
Xiaoyu: I'm Xiaoyu! I want to own an amusement park! I travel around to see the amusement parks around the world with my pet, Panda! (She tightens her grip on him.)
Jin: … (He tries to pull her away from him, but failed.)
Xiaoyu: I saw these roller coasters that were awesome that I rode and rode and rode…. (She jabbers on and on as Jin tries to not listen.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Hwoarang and Julia)
Julia: The reason that they tear an innocent forest is that they need room for business more than nature! That's not fair! They shouldn't tear down forests! Animals need the forests more than business! (She shouts as Hwoarang didn't care because he has a pair of earplugs as she kept on jabbering.)
She notices his behavior and looks at him to see him reading a motorcycle magazine instead of hearing about the destruction of forests around the world. She carefully sneaks around and pulls out an air horn as she pulls the earplugs out and has the air horn scream in his ears forcefully. He jump off the recliner as his head went into the ceiling and landed back in the recliner. His ears hurt as Julia grins at him.
Julia: Anyway, the animals need a habitat for their survival to live and to be free from the ugly way that the people put it in such a harsh way to other species than us. (She sits on his lap as she messes his face as Hwoarang was muttering about her and the air horn and kept quiet.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Lee and Anna)
Anna: What I like to go shopping with my father's credit card as I buy these cute outfits that can make the boys swoon and faint at the same time! (She laughs as Lee was forcefully are her slave wearing trunks.)
Anna: Now I want a cold glass of water. Now! (She takes out a whip and smacks it as Lee jump from fright.)
Lee: Y-yes madam. (He runs to the kitchen and brought back a glass of water.)
Anna: Thanks. (She scratches her head.) Dang, this thing is itching! (She pulls her hair out as her hair fell to the ground and scratches badly.)
Lee: (He stares at her bald head as she scratches with her long fingernails.) You're bald!
Anna: (She stops scratching.) That's right! I'm bald and I tell you something else! (She walks over and pulls his neck down to look each other face to face.) If you ever tell anyone about this, I'll tear you apart limb to limb, feed you to hungry beasts, run over by a truck, and burn your body in flames! You got that? (He slowly nods.) Good, get me more water.

(Steve and Nina)
They were in a big room that only has two chairs, a big, wide screen TV, and mini fridge in a corner. Steve was sitting in a leather chair as little Nina was in her small, purple coat sitting in the other chair as they sat across from each other staring as the silence grew more and more. She moves her eyes all over as Steve thinks.
Steve: (He sits up.) What do you want to do? (He waits for an answer.)
Nina: (She looks at him before she shrugs her shoulders.)
Steve: Why are you silent? (He watches her look up and stares at him like he's crazy.)
Nina: Why are you asking me questions? (She lowers her gaze.)
Steve: So, I can know you better. Is it okay? (She brings her gaze up.)
Nina: I guess.
Steve: That's great. So, why are you silent? (He watches her make expressions before she starts to answer.)
Nina: Silence is good.
Steve: Good?
Nina: Yes. Some people likes silence as people likes space. You can never talk to someone or say anything that resides in your mind. It's like space from the others to you. (She whispers the last part as she looks down.)
Steve: Do you have a family? (She looks at him with a painful face.) I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked that-.
Nina: It's okay. (She looks at him) I used to have a family until my father was killed by the Mafia and mother deceased by a heart-attack by the dreadful news. The only family I have now is Anna. She's a ditz and sometimes stupid. (She looks down.)
Steve: Oh. (He stands up and walks over to the mini-fridge as he opens and took out ice cream.) Here.
(He throws her a carton of chocolate ice cream as it was catch in her hands.) Ice cream can take sorrow away. (He digs in to the vanilla ice cream as she smiles at him and digs in.)

(In the girls' cabin)
Lei was sequencing the facts as he looks over the evidence in the room when Paul came in.
Paul: So, how is it?
Lei: I figure out how they minimize when we got here.
Paul: How?
Lei: First, this perfume (He shows Paul a bottle of fragrance.) was knocked by someone before the girls came in. Second, this champagne (He holds up the bottle.) was the drink that they drank before being small. All that is left now is the remedy.
Paul: (He was confused.) I got to get some fresh air. (He walks over, opens the window, and sticks his head out.) Hey, Lei, is the boat supposed to stay at the docks for the night?
Lei: Yes, why?
Paul: Because, we are far away from the city.
Lei: What! (He sticks his head out.) Paul, do you know what does this mean?
Paul: Yes. (They put their heads inside.)
Paul and Lei: WE ARE LOST!
