Chapter 3: Babysitting

In the Floodgate control, all is quite as if it was abandon, until now. Ever since the Toad left a few hours ago and leaving Spike, Whitey and the other henchrats to baby-sit his little tadpoles, there have been a lot of screaming, crying, and whining. But I'm not talking about the tadpoles.

Spike goes to the kitchen to get the fish food in the cupboard. It was too high for Spike so he took a ladder and climbs up to get it, while Whitey holds it steady to keep its balance. Spike reaches out for it and grabs the can with his two hands, but then one of the henchrats with a thimble on his nose calls out for Whitey.

"Hey Whitey" said Thimblenose Ted "Fat Barry got stuck in the jar again, give us a hand would ya?"

"Sure Ted" Whitey then lets go of the ladder and leaving Spike out of balance. "Whitey!" cried Spike and falls down on the floor and the can drop on his head. Whitey has completely forgotten about Spike. He went to Spike after he cries out for him.

"Sorry Spike" said Whitey lifting him up and wipes off the dust on Spike's coat and hair. Spike doesn't like to be treated like a little kid so he slaps Whitey's hands steps away from him. Whitey then went to Thimblenose Ted to help out Fat Barry, while Spike carries the can and approaches the jar with the tadpoles in it. He climbs up using a riser beside the jar and takes out the pellet fish food from the can and stretches out his hand above the jar.

"Alright lads!" he shouted "dinner time!"

The tadpoles saw the fish food with excitement that they all jumped out of the water to chomp the pellet at the same time. But they ended up biting Spike's hand. "Ow!" he cried while holding in the pain and trying not to scream like before. Then Ladykiller, a rat who wears a pair of sunglasses out of negative of a photograph and a matchstick on his mouth, approaches Spike with a cellular phone.

"Oi Spike" said Ladykiller "the boss is calling for you"

The tadpoles let go of Spike's hand and went back down in the jar. Spike is still in pain after the tadpoles bit him. He took the phone from Ladykiller and talked to the Toad.

"Oh, hi boss" said the twitchy rat "How, how's your vacation?"

"Oh everything is exquisite," said the Toad "they have the best flies here, but enough about that, how's my little men? It's almost their bedtime."

"Y-yes boss," said Spike, he hasn't finish feeding the tadpoles yet so he lied to the Toad and got Whitey involve in it "Whitey was about to sing them a lullaby" Spike then turns to Whitey "Right Whitey?" shouted Spike.

Whitey was with the tadpoles feeding them wearing a pink apron with a white heart design, that matches his mittens, in the middle of it. After that he went to Spike. "What is it Spike?" asked Whitey

"I just told the boss that you were going to sing the tadpoles a lullaby, right Whitey?" said Spike as he lied to the Toad. Spike gave Whitey a twitchy wink to play along.

"Oh! I see" Whitey gets the point. He went to the tadpoles and began to sing them a lullaby.

"Hush little tadpoles don't say a word, daddy's gonna buy you a--"

"A puppy?" the tadpole interrupted Whitey, but Whitey agreed to the tadpole.

"A puppy named Rover" sang Whitey and the tadpoles were overjoyed with excitement that they couldn't sleep.

"I shouldn't have let rodents to do an amphibian's job," sighed the Toad, "Anyway, I have another job for you boys."

"What is it boss?" asked Spike

"Go to my room and you'll find a box beside my chair," said the Toad "open it and distribute them to every house in the city." Spike did as the Toad told him to do and opened the box. It was a pile of posters and they were written: 'Free Cheese, come to the square to taste the greatest cheese ever'. Then Spike turn to the phone.

"Don't forget to write '3 days' on it" said the Toad

"You can count on us boss!" shouted Spike with determination then the Toad ended the call.

Then Spike called out for Ladykiller and Fat Barry to help rewrite the posters. They took out three feathers and ink for them to write. After few hours of rewriting thousand of posters, they piled up the posters and put them inside the box. Spike brought the box and went to Whitey. "Come on Whitey," said Spike "the boss has another job for us." Whitey then help Spike carried the box and went downstairs of the building. Spike then notices what Whitey is wearing that annoyed him.

"Whitey! Take that off!" said Spike "Hit men don't wear mittens and apron"

"But it makes me more motherly" said Whitey

"I don't care, just take 'em off." Whitey took the apron and the mittens off and put them aside. They jump on the Ratmobile, it's a remote control boat that they use before but they fixed the hole that causes it to sink. Then the rat with a thimble on his nose approaches to them.

"Hey Spike" he said "What about the tadpoles?"

"Take care of them while were gone," said Spike "we won't be long"

"And don't forget to sing them a lullaby" added Whitey

Thimblenose Ted unties the rope from the boat and Whitey hit the controls to start the boat. He then pushes the forward button and it took off like lightning. Spike kept the box secure by holding it around his arms and on their way to the city to deliver the posters that night.
