"Alright, the numbers are the counter, and you can reach us anytime before nine on my cell. After that we will be in the theatre and have to shut the phone off. Are you sure you can handle this?" Bulma looked a bit concerned, like she thought the girl before her was an incompetent git rather than the intelligent being she had spent the last week or so getting to know. This put Layla out, but just for a second. After all, she had been babysitting children for several years, and each seemed to be more hyperactive than the last one.

"I'm sure there is nothing these boys can dish out that I can't deal with," smiled Layla, trying to look like she really knew what she was talking about. She had just remembered what Tomas said about the boys not being completely human, and having some extra abilities. 'He was probably making it up to get to me.'

"Alright, if you're sure… Call if anything goes wrong." With that, the four adults departed for a much needed night of relaxation. No children for four hours, what a relief! 'Kids really can be a handful at times,' thought Bulma dully.

"WE WANT DINNER!!!"

The roar of sound emanating from the three smaller boys was deafening. Hoping that her hearing would return before the night was out; Layla herded the boys into the kitchen and set about making dinner. She didn't notice the evil grins being exchanged by the boys…

An hour later………………………………………

"Demons! Loud, hyper-active, half-starved little demons!' In all the warnings that Layla had been given about this job, no one mentioned that Trunks and Goten ate more than most humans eat in a day, only they did it in one sitting! After nearly an hour of cooking, the boys had seemed to be full. That was, of course, before they found the cake Mrs. Chi-chi had left for the four of them. Oddly, it only went for three. 'Like I could really eat after that performance, and with all that noise!' At that moment, Layla's temper snapped.

"GET OUT!" bellowed the angry girl, proving once again why saiyains fear female earthlings. The three boys went tearing out of the house, barely escaping the door aimed at their retreating backs. They distinctly heard the sound of a door locking behind them and sighed. A few seconds later they were back to trying to bet each other to a pulp, too busy to notice they were being watched.

30 minutes later………………………………………

"Well, that's as clean as it's gonna get." Layla stood in the middle of the now almost spotless kitchen and admired her hard work. She was also pleased to note that the boys had quieted down. 'Maybe that means that it's time to go to bed?' Dropping her wash rag in the bin, the young girl moved towards the back door to the little house. But before she could get to the door, an explosion rocked the building and threw Layla to the floor.

"What was that?" Getting slowly to her feet, it was a moment before the full meaning of the explosion meant. "The boys!" Ignoring the part of her screaming that it was probably their fault, Layla raced outside. The small boys were no where to be found. 'I'm gonna be so dead if I don't find them before their parents get home!' Throwing caution to the wind, Layla took off for the woods, shouting for the boys as she went.

Nearby, something crawled out of the shadows, still unnoticed by the world around it.

………………………

Panting, Layla finally stopped running in the middle of a small clearing. She though she'd heard laughter coming from near there and had prayed that it would be the boys. Upon reaching the clearing, Layla had found it empty. 'Maybe they've moved on?' Catching her breathe, Layla set off across the clearing.

Reaching the other side, Layla paused again. There it was again. Laughter, like that of a small child: but there wasn't anyone there besides her. Layla scanned the area around her one last time. Nope, definitely no one else. Turning, Layla moved to leave the clearing when:

"Look up." Slowly, Layla did as she was told. There, floating at least 15 feet above her was Tomas, grinning like a demon. Layla screamed.

Swooping down, Tomas clamped a hand over her mouth. "Shh, you don't want the others to find us, do you?"

"I couldn't care less who finds us," snapped Layla. "First you three annoy me till I throw you out of the house, then you raise Cane with your noise level, then you run off, and now you're flying. And you want me to take this all lying down?!"

"Well, you don't have to lie down," started Tomas, "but keeping-"

"I don't care what you do, Tomas, but I'm leaving. I'm going back to the house and when they get home, I'm collecting my fee and getting the hell outta this place. I knew something was off about these people, but this is ridiculous. And you're just as odd." Turning, Layla stormed off in the direction of the small house.

"Layla, wait!"

"Go away, Tomas. I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Sadly, Tomas watched his last link to his old life disappear into the undergrowth of the forest. 'I hope she gets back OK.' Turning, the boy flew off to find his new friends and tell them what had happened.

And still no one noticed the being in the shadows.

A/N: Yes, I'm aware it's pretty bad, but I wanted to put something up, as it's been…honestly, I don't wanna know how long it's been. I just know the original of this chapter was crap and rewrites are evil.

Anyone still reading, I love thy. Please feel free to yell, if it makes you feel better.
