VOLTRON: Five guys, one baby Acadamy Years

When Lance sticks his foot in his mouth, he drags his friends into a baby sitting nightmare.

Becka took a deep breath before she unlocked the door. Opening it, she braced herself to see a disaster area. Walking in, the first thing she noticed was that the lights were off. "That's strange. Unless they went out, or everyone's asleep."

"SURPRISE!" The second the lights were turned on, Jenna and her five babysitters popped out and laughed at the reaction that Becka had. Looking at the homemade decorations, Becka began laughing and said, "That's the last time I ever show up on time." Jenna ran over and grabbed her sister's hand. She then started pointing out the decorations that she made and started telling her sister about the snacks that she helped make. Becka looked at the guys and smiled. "Thanks for watching her, guys."

"No problem."

"It was great."

"Anytime you need us."

"We were glad to help."

"Call anytime you need a babysitter."

During the party, Lance saw Becka watching him silently. After a while, she walked over and said, "I guess you won."

"No, I didn't."

"Yes, you did."

"Are you crazy? I nearly blew it a least eight times."

"What are you talking about?"

"Let's see, I ended up trashing my friend's car with purple paint that was all over your sister, I wrecked two of his reports and a stack of his disks, I nearly lost my mind when I thought she swallowed a turtle, I nearly lost it again when Hunk lost her at the mall."

"Lance, it's okay. I never said taking care of Jenna was easy."

"No, but I did. You were right, it's not a cake walk."

"And that's the proof that I need that you won. You were willing to admit that not only does a person need help watching a little kid, but that it's not an easy job with help. Besides, you should know a couple of things."

"What?"

"One: I've ended up with paint on my car before. You were lucky, for me it was pink, purple, green and blue."

"Ouch."

"Also, one time I thought she swallowed a turtle, a bag full of marbles, and I thought she swallowed about five dollars in change."

"Did she?"

"Well, the only thing I had gotten right was the change and even then it was about $4.75 in quarters."

"You're kidding."

"I kid you not. Also, I lost her in the mall twice. Both times she was in the pet store."

"It sounds like we're even."

"You got it."

"In that case, I think we both won."

"Are you sure about that? You know that means we BOTH have to wash my car."

"I know."

"You're impossible."

The next day, Keith awoke to the sound of someone banging on the door. Looking at his alarm clock, he saw that it was six thirty in the morning. Across the hall, Lance grumbled, "It had better be important." Both got up and went to the door. Outside was Jenna, completely alone. Looking up at them, she said, "Please come back."

"Jenna, what are you doing here? Does Becka know where you are?" Lance knelt infront of Jenna and asked her both questions slowly. Jenna shook her head and grabbed his arm. She then repeated her request with tears in her eyes. Keith looked at the little girl and went to call Becka. Before he could touch the phone, it rang. Picking it up, the first thing he heard was Becka's worried voice, "Is Jenna with you?"

"Yeah, what happened?"

" I don't know. I went to get her ready for day-care and saw that she was missing. I don't know when she left, or why, or." Becka's voice began to tremble as she started crying.

"Calm down, Becka. We'll be right there."

"Thanks." After hanging up, Keith went back to the door and told Lance about the phone call. Lance turned to Jenna and said, "We'll take you home, okay?"

"'Kay."

Once they arrived, the door to the apartment flew open and Becka raced out. Picking up Jenna, Becka held her close and started crying again. Lance helped Becka walk back inside. Once all of them were in, Becka placed Jenna on the couch and knelt infront of her. "Jenna, why did you run away like that?"

"I want them to come back."

"You want Lance and Keith to stay here?"

"Yes."

"You miss them already?"

"Yes."

"You wanted the guys to stay here, right?"

"Yes." Jenna looked at them again and said, "Please come back. Don't go away again." Lance sent Becka a confused look. Keith instantly came up with an idea. Joining Jenna on the couch, he asked her, "Would it be alright if we came over every afternoon after you get home. And if we come over all day on the week-end?"

"Yes." Jenna grinned at them and then at Becka.

Lance watched Jenna as she played hide and seek with the others. "Hey, Fly Boy. We're supposed to be washing my car. NOT watching Jenna."

"Sorry about that." Lance turned to Becka, who as part of the agreement was wearing a string bikini. He then started washing the hood of the car again.
