Mitchell and Cam stand outside airport with luggage.

Mitchell: Let's go, then.

Cam: One, two- (He starts to turn, then stops) Oh god. We can't apparate with a baby.

Mitchell facepalms. Cuts to them sitting in their house (you know the whole explaining/interview thing in Modern Family- I don't know how to explain it)

Mitchell: We were so prepared. Cute baby clothes, mini broomstick, everything.

Cam: And yet we couldn't bring our baby home. Why? (Adopts high, mimicking voice) 'Oh, there's no fireplace at LAX, why don't we just apparate? This is a new suit, anyway, don't want it getting ash all over'

Mitchell: You made the last bit up!

Cam: I could tell you were thinking it.

Glares

Back to Dunphy house:

Luke and Manny enter from backyard, Manny pinching nose and generally looking beat up.

Claire: (Deflates, this situation is all too familiar) What happened?

Luke: We had some trouble with the Quodpot.

Claire: Wait- who gave you a quodpot?

Jay (from couch with wine and crackers with Phil): Oh, I did.

Claire: what? Dad, those things are dangerous?

Jay: We're wizards. They can handle dangerous. (Notices Manny finally) Oh for god's sake, Manny.

Gloria: In Colombia, we didn't tolerate these hazardous sports.

Everyone stares at her.

Gloria: What? Just because it may not be the safest place, you think we let our children become injured? (To Manny) Oh, baby, are you okay?

Manny: I think so

Gloria: Aye, I help you patch your face up. Claire, you can handle the kitchen for a bit?

Claire: Of course. (In a low voice, as Gloria and Manny leave for bathroom:) Believe it or not, I can actually cook for the dinner I am hosting.

Phone rings. Claire picks up.

Claire: Are you guys nearly here?... Uh oh, are you sure you don't have any powder on you?... Yes, there is a fireplace there, for stupid wizards like yourself…. All right, I'll send him over. Okay, bye. (hangs up) Mitchell and Cam are going to be late. Phil, honey?

Phil (mouth full of crackers): What?!

Claire: I need you to drive your car to the airport and pick them up.

Phil: Um, okay. I'll head over right now.

Claire (sarcastically): Please.

Phil leaves but grabs some food for the road.

So I'm working on The Power of Atalie right now and can't really focus on this, but if you actually have read it, thank you, and please review! Sorry but I'll probably only write this when I'm bored and annoyed with Atalie.
