Hey everybird! What's up!?

So sorry for the delay again! I actually had some writer's block and also during the second half of last week, I had some chest discomfort, luckily my heart's fine and it went away after a day or two!

Now before we get to the next chapter, of course today's question, which involves the release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order gameplay…

So, what did you think about the release?

Me: Do you really need to ask, because I am super hyped for this! I can already tell that it's going to be the best Star Wars game ever! It's everything you could ever want in a Star Wars game, being a Jedi!? WHAT!? Also… (Spoiler!) Saw Gerrera is in the game!

And I think that's it, so lets continue!


Chapter 4: Bad Babysitter


One Year Later…

(Tyler's POV)

"Mom, why do we need a babysitter!?" I groaned as both Arthur and I were upset that we couldn't stay at home by themselves while our parents were out.

"Now Tyler we talked about this, you two are still very young and need someone to watch over you when dad and I aren't around and you're not in school." My mom reminded me as she struggled to button up the back of her dress she was currently wearing. "Honey, a little help please?" My mom called over my dad as he came.

"Sure thing Lisa." My dad smiled as he came and helped out.

It was currently nighttime and our parents were going out to attend a fundraiser at the academy they teach at, their presence mandatory for the night. So at first my brother and I thought that we would be home lone, free to do whatever we want, only that wish was gone as my mother told me she got a babysitter for us during the time we were away. Speaking of which…

"Oh, sounds like he's here." My mother said as my dad finished buttoning up my mother's dress as she then went to the door of the apartment to answer whoever was knocking.

My brother and I followed our mother and when she opened the door, we saw a very familiar spoonbill there…

"Uncle Kipo!" My brother and I shouted as we ran up and gave him a hug.

"Look at you boys, growing taller and taller." Kipo chuckled as he accepted our hugs.

"Still want to stay home alone?" My mother teased us as she then spoke to Kipo. "Now Kipo remember, please take care of them, I don't want them getting into trouble."

"Trouble? Me?" Kipo laughed. "Never."

My mother gave a slightly annoyed look as my dad came up.

"Come on honey, we better hurry or else we're going to be late." My dad told my mother as he was ready to go.

"Right, now have fun with your uncle and we'll be better in a few hours." My mother told my brother and I as she gave each of us a kiss on the head.

So our parents, with Alex and Ashley, left, the door closing behind them as my brother and I were alone with Uncle Kipo. Alone with a smuggler that our parents entrusted to watch over us for the night…

"So, what do you boys want to do?" Kipo asked us.

"Well, we thought that maybe…" I began as suddenly a noise came from Kipo's belt.

"Hang onto that thought." Kipo replied as he took out a communicator from his belt. "Tiny is that you?"

"Yeah." Kipo's sidekick replied. "Sorry to tell you this, some of Kanjiklub's members are asking for you for a job."

"Seriously?" Kipo replied as he sighed. "Can you please tell them that I'll deal with them tomorrow?"

Now was our chance, the chance for my brother and I to get out of the apartment…

"Hey Uncle Kipo, you know you can go if you bring us along." I started.

"Yeah, mom and dad just said you had to watch us, they never said where…" Arthur agreed with me.

"I don't know boys, these deals can go south really fast and if your parents find out…" Kipo hanging up on Tiny for a minute to reply to us.

"Please Uncle Kipo…" My brother and I pleaded with him.

(Kipo's POV)

Well, the boys did have a point, I would still be able to keep an eye on them and if there's no tension, than the deal would go fine and luckily no shooting would happen. So after I thought about it for a couple of minutes, I decided what could go wrong…

"Alright boys." I told the boys before returning to Tiny. "Tiny, I'll be there with Arthur and Tyler, just wait for me."

"Copy that." Tiny spoke back as I put my communicator back on my belt.

So leaving the apartment and the building, I took the boys to where I kept my ship, at a private small hangar. As soon as I entered the hangar, the first thing I saw was Tiny… With a bunch of Kanjiklub's gang members, with blasters, looking very impatient.

"Kipo!" The leader of the group shouted as he saw me. "You're lucky you came, we were about to do something rather rash and you brought a couple of little boys here?"

I remembered Arthur and Tyler as I looked behind me to see they were rather a bit scared now, which I don't blame them for. I relaxed as I gently put my wing over the blaster on my belt. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all…

"I'm sorry, a friend of mine really needed someone to watch over her boys and I was the only one available at the moment." I notified the gang members as their leader stepped froward, blaster held ready to speak right at my face.

"So, as I told Tiny there, Kanjiklub is requesting your help for a job." The leader spoke. "And he's willing to pay a huge prize if you complete it.

"And what's that?" I asked, lifting an eye up.

"He needs a rathtar for "entertainment purposes", simple as that." The leader explained.

"I'm sorry, but no." I answered. "I don't do those kinds of jobs for criminals, I'm an honest smuggler now."

"For who?" The leader spit out angrily. "The New Republic government? What kind of job is that?"

"Look, I'm sorry, but my answer is no." I said in defiance.

"That's too bad, because my boss said if you refused, we can exercise a certain freedom…" The leader said as he raised his blaster higher. "Kill them!"

And I took out my blaster very quickly and shot the leader right in the shoulder, incapacitating him, so Arthur and Tyler wouldn't get too scared, but I could still defend myself as the real trouble started.

"Come on boys, get to cover!" I shouted at Arthur and Tyler as I pushed them behind a crate before I myself joined them, blaster shots going over my head as I took cover and fired back.

As I fired back, to defend myself and the boys, I saw Tiny doing the same, managing to kill a couple of the gang members who got too close to her.

"I really hope your mom and dad doesn't find out about this." I said to the boys as well my luck would just run out as sirens wailed suddenly, I looked to see several police speeders lining the hangar doors, policebirds ready for action as the leader of them shouted out orders.

"Put your blasters down and step out with your wings up!" The police bird ordered.

"Well this just got worse…" I cursed in my head as I turned to the two boys with me. "Come on boys, lets go, we don't have a choice…" I told Arthur and Tyler as they slowly got up and joined me, a couple of police birds slapping a pair of wing cuffs on me.

Meanwhile at the New Republic Starfighter Academy…

(Lisa's POV)

I found it hard to take it easy and enjoy this night with Tiago, I remember it took a lot of convincing for me to go out and leave my boys with someone else, even if it was a good friend, for the night. I was repeatedly tapping my talons on the floor as I was currently holding onto a glass with a drink in it. Tiago came over to me as he had on a smile, but that changed seeing me.

"You okay honey?" Tiago asked, seeing that I looked nervous.

"Not really…" I replied. "I'm a bit worried about Arthur and Tyler, do you really think it was a good idea to leave them with Kipo?"

"Hey, they'll be fine, you should just relax and enjoy this night, thinking about it will only make it worse." Tiago advised me.

As I took a deep breath, reassuring myself that the boys were fine and having fun with their uncle back at the apartment, I saw Director Blu come towards Tiago and I… With a police officer.

"Excuse me, are you two the parents of two boys called Arthur and Tyler?" The officer asked Tiago and I as I went straight back to being nervous.

"Yes…" I answered, afraid of what the officer was going to say next…

"They're currently at the nearby police station, don't worry, they're not in trouble, but someone who was with them, named Kipo, is." The officer informed me and Tiago.

At the police station…

(Arthur's POV)

"Brother, are we going to be okay?" Tyler asked me as we both were sitting down on a couple of chairs in the waiting room of the station.

"We're going to be okay, mom and dad aren't going to be mad at us." I told Tyler or at least that's what I hope will happen.

And then the waiting room door opened and a police officer came in, followed by our parents…

"This way please." The officer told my mom as our dad came over to us.

"You boys okay, you're not hurt?" My dad asked us.

"No dad, we're fine." I told my dad, who checked all around us for any injuries.

"Where's mom going?" Tyler asked as the police officer, with our mother, went to another room.

"She's going to bail out your Uncle Kipo and Auntie Tiny, she'll be back with them.

"I hope mom takes it easy on Uncle Kipo…" I commented as I figured mom was pretty upset with him, not that I would blame my mother for feeling that way.

(Kipo's POV)

As I was sitting in the temporary cell, I was really regretting bringing along Arthur and Tyler with me, I should have just told Tiny to tell the gang members to come back another day. As I sat there feeling very sorry and feeling that my friendship with Lisa was over, a officer came to the cell where Tiny and I were being kept and opened it.

"Kipo, Tiny, you have been bailed, you're free to go." The officer told us, to which I had a pretty good idea of who it was.

And yes, as soon as Tiny and I were out of the holding cell room, Lisa was there to see me, with both wings crossed as she looked at me very sternly.

"Lisa look, I'm very sorry that I didn't keep my promise, if you don't want to be friends anymore, I understand." I apologize.

Lisa sighed as she uncrossed her wings and spoke to me.

"Look, I'm not happy that you put my boys in near danger, but I'm grateful that you kept watch over them and they're fine." Lisa replied.

"So, does this mean I can still babysit for you?" I asked, smiling nervously.

"For now, no, but we'll see in the future…" Lisa dashing my hopes.

"Good enough." I replied as I knew I wouldn't get any further presently.

And so Tiny and I, free from jail now, returned back to our hangar and ship, while Lisa and Tiago, with their boys, went back to their apartment. How I managed to get out of this alive, both from the gang members and Lisa, I will never know…


And you could say that this is the very first action for Arthur and Tyler too, well before they enroll in the academy!

Well I think that's all there is for now, so…

See everybird later!
