Note: The title alone should give you an idea of how fun this will be. Well, I dont think I have to say anything, just read on and enjoy!
...
*Gavin announces that is the end of Wrestling is Fun, and Della and company leave. She goes to the hospital room and takes Tasha. GEKIDO protest, but she says she'll see them again, for now shes heading home. GEKIDO look upset, but allow her to leave. Della and Company go home and Della makes sure to talk to the Technicos. She clarifys that she isnt mad at any of them, and thankfully, they all understand. She congradulates them on their wins, and leaves with Tasha to the bedroom. She sighs...at least it was a calmer day. It was Fun she'll admit...but she's sure that it wont be fun anymore...she cant even imagine whats going to happen next show...its unnerving her...*
*Tom gently comes into the room, and puts a hand on her shoulder* Hey...*Della looks up and sighs* Hey... *Tom sits next to her and sighs* You know...I've been thinking...I think tonight, since WiF was early, we still got time to do something. Della, I think you and I should...just get away for the night. *Della turns to him confused. Tom just smiles a little* Whens the last time we've been on a nice...date? *Della half laughs and replies* Awhile... *Tom nods and continues* With the money we're getting from these shows...we can afford it... *Della stares, then shakes her head nervously* Oh Tom...no I couldnt, Mikko and Tiana- *Tom cuts in* They have Obariyon and Kodama to watch them. *Della bites her lip* But...what about Ta- *Tom puts up a hand* The Tecnicos got it all covered. They'll watch her for you, you know that. *Della looks unsure, and Tom rubs her back* Come on Della. You know the next shows going to be bad...you need a little night of calm...so let me do this alright? *Della stares...then sighs and nods* Fine...but I swear if anything goes wrong-
*Tom laughs cutting her off* Now come on...what could go wrong? *Della frowns at him. Tom looks away a little sheepish* Sorry I asked... *Della quietly puts the baby in her crib* Well...she might just sleep the whole time anyway...*Tom nods* See? Everythings alright...come on, lets go get ready. *Della nods, and leaves with Tom to prepare for it*
*Della and Tom are soon off, and the Tecnicos, Mikko, and Tiana all wave goodbye. Tiana shouts* Have a good date! *Kingston shouts* We promise the house wont burn down! *Jigsaw turns* Kingston, come on man... *Eddie rolls his eyes* Im joking sheesh...
*All the Tecnicos go in the house. And then...something strange begins happening...as if by some weird turn of fate, each and every one of them keep getting called away from the house to do something. Wheather it be training, plans, or everything in between. Things just keep coming up, and because of that, the babysitting duties keep getting pushed to the next person, and the next person, and the next person...*
*Eventually, nearly every tecnico is called away. Obariyon, Kodama, Mikko, and Tiana actually go to a movie, and when the dust is settled, theirs only one peerson with the baby currently. Tasha sits up in her crib staring through the bars, at her current caretaker for the next few hours...Kobald...*
*Kodama incidentally turns his head in the theatre to Obariyon* ...You're sure that that was a good idea? *Obariyon nods* Oh what could happen? Its Kobald... *Kodama blinks...he has a bad feeling about this...but...Mikko seemed to trust the idea, so...he goes back to watching said movie*
*Back at the house Kobald stares at the baby and cocks his head. Tasha blinks, and cocks her head a little too. Kobald grins* I get to watch the baby! AHAHA! HAHA! ...Its fun so far! *Tasha stares...then starts to sniffle, Kobald blinks* What is it Baby? AHA! *Tashas sniffled turn into crying pretty fast, Kobald jumps back a bit* WAH! What did Kobald do? *Kobald slinks to the bars and crawls in the crib. Tasha whines still, Kobald blinks and pokes her slightly. Tashas whines continue. Kobald winces* Ooooh, what does Kobald need to do? Kobald just thought he WATCH the baby! *Kobald bits a finger as Tasha continues crying. Kobald picks her up and looks all around her. She isnt hurt, so what is it? Kobald blinks and puts an ear to her stomach. Its gurgling. Kobald nods* Oooooh...Baby's hungry! *Kobald grins nodding and takes her to the kitchen*
*Kobald sets Tasha in her high chair, and crawls around the kitcnen* Ok...what do Baby's like? ...Rats? Kobald likes Rats! *Tasha blinks. Kobald cocks his head* No Rats? ...Bugs? Kobald likes bugs too! AHAH! *Tasha continues to just stare. Kobald blinks* Hmmm...*roots around the cupboards, and finds come little glass jars of food. It says its baby food. Kobald blinks, climbs out of the crib, taking her to the kitchen. He gets her in her high chair and looks for the food she eats. After a few minutes he turns to her, jar in hand* THIS is baby food? *Tasha just cocks her head in recognition of the food, Kobald looks at it, and shrugs. He climbs back over to her, and sets it down opening it and putting it on her chair table* There you go! EAT! *Tasha blinks...stares at the open glass, and waves her nubby hands, and she cant get to it. She begins to sniffle again. Kobald freaks out* Oh nonononoNONO! AHA! NO! *Kobald quickly scurries down* Baby cant eat...Ok! Need to feed baby! *Kobald quickly gets a spoon and comes back* Got it! AHA! *Kobald quickly gets a spoonfull of the food, and feeds Tasha. Tasha does accept it and Kobald sighs and continues*
*After another spoonful or two, Tasha wont open her mouth. Kobald frowns* C'mon Baby, its good! AHA! *He tries again, but she wont eat. Kobald groans* Look, its good see? *Kobald eats the spoonful to try and coax her into eating more...and his eyes widen* ...Oooooh...it IS good! AHA! Real good! Not as good as Rats...but good! HAHA! *And...in the span of a few minutes...Tasha is slowly spoonfeeding Kobald the food, which he happily accepts. How this is possible shouldnt be questioned...Kobald licks his lips* Babies got it good! AHA! Ill go find more of that stuff! ...For you this time!
*Kobald leaves to Della's room, most likely theres more food there to feed the baby with. Kobald searches in a dresser, and he grins finding more. He happily turns around to go back downstairs, but he comes face to face with someone...a big blue Ant...its assailANT! Who should be in the medical station still...how in the world did he get there? Kobald yipes* AUGH! *assailANT responds* AUGH! *And it goes back and forth, Kobald* AUGH! *assailANT* AUGH! *Kobald* AUGH! *assailANT* AUGH! *Kobald* AUGH! *Finally, Kobald breaks the silence growling* What are YOU doing here? *assailANT growls* What are YOU doing here? *Kobald growls* I live here! *assailANT grrowls back* So do I! I heard the baby crying! *Kobald frowns, he doesnt even question HOW he heard the baby crying from where he was* Kobald's got it covered! *assailANT glares* Oh yeah? *Kobald nods* Yeah! *assaiANT's glare darkens* OH YEAH? *Kobald shouts* YEAH! *assailANT growls* OH YEEEEAAAH!? *Kobald screams in his face* YEEEEEEAAH! *...Theres silence for a few minutes...then assailANT just shrugs, and asks* ...Wanna be friends? *Kobald blinks...and grins* SURE! *assailANT beams...like the argument about to lead up to a giant brawl never happened* Alright! *Kobald nods* Come on, lets go feed the baby! *assailANT nods* Oh I love doing that! Lets go! *They head back to the kitchen*
*After the food adventure is over, assailANT picks her out of the high chair* Oh, I learned what to do next! You're supposed to pat her on the back, and burp her! *Kobald nods* Ooooh...Babys burp? ...NEAT! AHA! *assailANT puts her over his shoulder and pats, Kobald cocks his head* Heeeeey... *assailANT blinks* What? *Kobald replies* I wonder how that would sound in a rhytham! AHA! What do you think? *assailANT pauses...thinks...beams* Yeah, that would make this alot more fun! I wonder why they never taught that in the class... *assailANT starts patting Tasha's back in an uneven rhythem. Kobald claps* Thats better! *assailANT nods* Yeah it- *assailANT is cut off when Tasha ralphs on his shoulder. assailANT pauses...as does Kobald. ...assailANT gently takes Tasha and hands her to Kobald* ...No more drum baby...*He quietly goes to the bathroom to wash off what just happened to him, as Kobald looks at the baby, who doesnt look to happy about it. Kobald thinks, gets an idea* Oh! I know! We should play games, games are fun for babies! AHA! I know just the one!
*assailANT eventually comes back down, and Kobald has Tasha on the living room floor, with Fire Sticks, unlit, unsteadily put in her little arms. assailANT shouts* WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? *Kobald turns. assailANT just throws his hands up* We cant teach the Baby to Fire Juggle yet, its not even 7 o' clock! *Kobald thinks...then sighs* Yeah...you're right...what do we do then? *assailANT thinks* Hmmmmmm...I dont know. I think we need a specialist in Baby games... *Kobald blinks cocking his head...then his ears raise in an idea* OH! I think I know someone who might help! *assailANT blinks* You do? *Kobald nods grinning* Yeah!
*Five minutes later, a one slinged arm Shane Matthews is in the room trying to choke assailANT* IM GONNA KILL 'EM! *Kobald shouts* No dont kill him! *Shane retorts* BUT I WANT TO! *Kobald shakes his head* No! Not in front of baby! *Shane pauses...then snorts through his nostrils* ...You're lucky you aint the one that broke my arm... *assailANT blinks, answers* Well Im glad you arent gonna kill me... *Shane nods, eyes narrowed* You should...I had some ideas about it too...fire was involved...but onto other ones! So! ...You need help playing baby games huh? *Kobald and assailANT nod, and Shane rubs his chin* Hmmm...you came to the right guy...*Shane nods and turns to them* First things first...we must construct a Mayonase cannon to begin such games of playing... *Kobald and assailANT pause...look to each other...and then grin. Kobald replies* You really ARE the master! *assailANT adds* Teach us oh wise one! *Matthews nods firmly* I shall of course...however it will cost you...*assailANT sighs* Oh man...I gave away my soul last week...*Kobald pauses...then runs to the firdge, and brings back a Red Bull, handing it to Shane. Shane looks, and nods* This shall cover the cost...lets do this...*They all turn to Tasha...who looks completely confused and unknowing to whats about to happen...*
*About a half hour later...theres a hole in the wall of the living room, Mayonase on the ceiling, a Chicken walking aimlessly in the kitchen, Kobald is hanging from a ceiling fan, assailANT has a football helmet on backwords laying on the ground, presumably stolen from Touchdown's room, Tasha on his stomach, donning KISS makeup for some reason, as Shane Matthews just sits on the recliner...which is partly on fire, drinking his Redbull calmly* Ahhhhh...and that my friends, is how you do it right... *assailANT raises a hand weakly* Yep! *And it flops back down again. The Ceiling Fan breaks and Kobald flops back down, luckily on the couch* That was...AHA! *Shane nods* Indeed...the best AHA! Ever! I think the baby liked it too, I mean look at that face, so happy and distorted and twisted like shes really putting alot of effort into whatever joy she's hav- OH GOD! PLEASE TELL ME THAT ISNT WHAT I THINK IT IS!
*assailANT flails away and gets up, smacking into a wall due to the fact he cant see, leaving Tasha sitting on the ground...and then of course, what fills the air next. Shane blinks* ...Well...Im out of my field of study! *assailANT yanks the helmet off as Kobald points to him* You went to Baby watching school, you have to make that...SMELL...go away! AHA! *assailANT puts up his hands* No, thats not my job, thats combatANT's and he isnt here! Because we made sure to give combatANT the most disgusting jobs *combatANT twitches in the medical room asleep*
*Shane sighs...* This is a problem we know nothing about...its beyond all our range of detail, and skills...which means...*assailANT blinks* Which means what? *Shane sighs again taking out a cell phone* We have to call in...super specialists... *Kobald looks confused* SUPER specialists? *Shane nods* Yes, guys who you can call for any distress, guys who can do anything when given the call...I know men like this...so I must make the chance, and call them...*Kobald blinks* AHA! Who is it? *All Matthews does is grin, and dial a number*
*About ten minutes later, there is a knock on the door. Matthews head raises* They have arrived... *assailANT blinks* They who? *Matthews goes over to the door, and opens it...four demons like them, same average small size, stand there. The one in front is a heavier one, in black tights, a moustache and goatee, glasses, and a black top hat and a Black and white fake cigar. The second one is a taller lankier one, with a French like beret, cold and calculating eyes, and he is wearing a combat type of uniform. The third is one with long hair in a ponytail, a short trimmed beard, very...interesting goggles on his eyes, and a full body grey suit. The fourth is a skinny dirty blonde haired individual, in...an owl suit...yep...owl wings, and an owl head, he has big eyes like an owl though, with black around them. The one with the tophat grins in a nasily like voice only he can have* Greetings! We are The Submission Squad. Experts at anything and everything, and are always prepared. I am The Elegant Assasin, Pierre Abernathy. *The one in the beret stands straight and salutes* I am Pistol Danger, Evan Gelistico! *The one with the goggles flips up the lenses to reveal his eyes* I am Brainwave, Davey Vega. *The one in the owl suit blinks, and just says* Hoo... *Pierre motions* And thats Gary, our Barn Owl! *Kobald blinks at each of them...and turns to Matthews, who grins* Oh yeah...we called the right guys! HAHA! *assailANT scratches his head* Elegant Assasin...then am I the Elegant assailANT? *As assailANT ponders this, Pierre steps in with the rest of the Squad, and speaks up* So! Gentleman! We got your call, and of course we responded, and are ready for any and all dangers and problems! *Gelistico salutes* I have brought the grenades! *Vega grins* I brought the toothpaste! *Gary just blinks* Hoo... *Pierre turns* What do you mean you forgot the Chili Dogs? *Gary blinks* Hoo... *Pierre shouts* It was TOO your j- ...*he clears his throat getting back on track* Now then...what seems to be the problem fellows?
*Matthews nods, and points to Tasha. Pierre turns, and blinks* ...A baby? *Kobald nods* Uh huh! AHA! Thats it! *Gelistico blinks observing this place* This place is in a bit of ruin...and the baby, is your main priority? *assailANT nods* Uh huh! *Vega puts his goggles back down* Man we miss all the fun stuff...*Pierre sighs* So...what EXACTLY about the baby, is wrong? *Matthews looks a little uneasy* Wellll...*He whispers it in Abernathy's ear, Abernathy's eyes widen* UGH! NASTY! *Gelistico blinks* What? *Pierre whispers it to him* ...GUUUUH...*Vega blinks* What am I missing? *Gelistico whispers it in his ear* ...WHAT? *Gary cocks his head, and Vega whispers it to him, Gary looks confused* Hoo? *Pierre blinks* NO! The Baby didnt 'book a map'! How did it get THAT lost in translation? *Vega shrugs* Gelistico's weird accent? *Gelistico snaps* My accent is cool! *Vega shrugs* Well it would be cooler if I could understand it! *Gelistico* Oh yeah? Well those goggles are stupid! *Vega gasps...then droops. Gelistico pauses* I have gone too far... *Vega nods* You did... *Gelistico nods* Im sorry... *Vega looks to him* Ahhh I cant stay mad at you! *Their about to hug but Matthews interrupts* HEY! *The Submission Squad all turn, Matthews speaks up* Alright...we all know whats wrong...can you fix it? *Pierre grins* Yes...on one condition...our fee! *Matthews sighs* Whaddya want? *Pierre shrugs non chalantly* Oh nothing really, just some minor fees and some charges-wewantcontractsinCHIKARAPro-maybe a few dinner coupons- *Matthews cuts him off* Wait wait wait...what was that middle part? *Pierre shrugs* Oh the CHIKARA Pro contracts? Oh well thats no biggie right? *Matthews snorts* That aint my position Abstinant Assasin! *Pierre snaps* ELEGANT Assasin! *Matthews sighs* Whatever! *Pierre huffs* Well fine, if you cant do that, then we'll just take our services and- *Matthews sighs* Wait wait wait! ...Alright fine...Ill talk to Mandy, she likes me! I...think... *Pierre brightens* Really? You will? *Matthews nods* I dont go back on my promises! Except that one time...and Jagged lived so it was ok! *Pierre sighs, and nods* Alright...you have gotten the services of The Submission Squad! *assailANT cheers* Alright! I dont know who any of you are, and you all look kinda stupid, but I like you! *Vega grins* Thanks! ...Wait- *Pierre holds up a hand* Enough chit chat...we have a Baby to change...
*The group look at Tasha, who is now fussing due to the fact she isnt changed yet. Vega stares...and just asks* Is there a reason shes wearing KISS makeup? *Matthews holds up a hand* Its a long story involving cats and the letter Q I would rather not go into it... *Vega stares, and blinks* O...k then... *Pierre looks to the rest of the Squad* Alright, who's going to change her? *Vega turns* Oh I dont know, how about our leader? The Accumulated Assasin? *Pierre snaps* ELEGANT...and a leaders role should be dignified with greater tasks than this! *Vega blinks* ...You know I did always wonder that what DID make you the leader? *Pierre sighs* Look, we can stand here arguing statistics, or we can do the job! Gary what about you? *Gary turns his head* Hoo... *Pierre retorts* What do you mean it would effect your sense of smell? Owls big sense are EYES! Do Owls even have noses? *Vega nods* I think their on their beaks... *Pierre things* Thats a weird place for a nose isnt it? *Vega nods* Yeah, unless its like an invisible nose in that case- *Matthews cuts in again* HEY! *The Squad turns* The more we talk the WORSE thats gonna get, so make up your mind! *Gelistico puts up a hand* Ill do it then... *Pierre turns* Really? *Gelistico walks over grinning* Of course! I have endured the harshest of trainings. Cold weather, the hottest of deserts, being in the jungle with barely anything left to survive- *Pierre retorts* You never did any of that! Those were all survival shows on the Discovery Channel you watched and daydreamed about yourself being in those situations! *Gelistico snaps back* Well I felt their pain! So this shall be easy for me *He carefully unwraps Tashas diaper* See? There is nothing to- *Gelistico looks down at what he has to deal with, complimented with the scent, and he promptly falls over on his back out cold. Pierre rolls his eyes* Brilliant...
*Matthews shouts* Man down! Man down! *assailANT pulls his antenne* He was so young! And his name was cool! *Pierre sighs* He isnt dead, but now someone has to do the job he couldnt finish... *Vega bites his lip* ...Ill do it... *Kobald shouts* NO! AHA! YOU CANT! *Matthews shakes his head* Davey, you wont make it! *assailANT throws up his hands* There must be a better way! *Vega dismisses them and looks to the ground* No...I knew this day would come...the day I have to prove myself against all odds. This is my time...even if it is my last... *Matthews wipes his eyes* You're a good man Davey...a good man! *Kobald sobs as Davey starts stepping forward* If I dont make it back...tell my wife I love her...*Pierre folds his arms* You dont have a wife...*Kobald, assailANT, and Matthews all turn to him. Mattheews shouts* AW way to ruin the moment Angus Assasin! *Pierre groans* ELEGANT! And its a Diaper! *assailANT points* That brave soul is going into the abyss and he may not come back! Show some respect! *Pierre replies* But he REALLY doesnt have a wife! *Kobald growls* Bad Eureka Assasin! *Pierre screams* ELEGANT! And He'll be fine! *Matthews turns back with a worried look across his face* I sure hope so...
*Vega walks up, and carefully drags Gelistico away and to the wall, Gelistico coughs* It was...beyond my field of...endurance... *Davey nods patting him* Rest soldier, rest...I'll take it from here. *Gelistico nods and leans back as Vega walks back to Tasha, who's just sitting there quietly. Vega steps up cautiously and recoils* UUUGH...babies are not cute when this happens...and HOW are you just sitting there? *Tasha just stares at him like this isnt a big deal. Vega takes a step back, and takes in a breath holding it, and turns around, shuts his eyes, and goes for it! Matthews, assailANT, and Kobald all gasp collectively, as Abernathy just sighs, Gary is stoic throughout. After a moment of silence, Vega comes up, and he has the diaper! assailANT, Matthews and Kobald cheer. Vega flails with it, and chucks it so he can exhale, and it goes right to Pierre. Pierre catches it...then screams and runs arms flailing, chucking it to Kobald, who catches it, shrieks, and lobs it to Matthews. Matthews screams and chucks it to assailANT. assailANT screams* AHHH! BE GONE FOUL DEMON! *assailANT chucks it at a window, and the window shatters as it flies out. Pieerre stares* Wow...strong diaper... *Vega falls to his knees shaking as assailANT, Kobald, and Matthews all run over and pat his back. Matthews nods* You did good soldier...you did good *Vega nods taking breaths* Thanks...it...it was horrible...but I did it! *Kobald cheers* You did it! AHAHA! *assailANT* Three cheers for Goggle Man! Hip Hip- *Pierre cuts in* No...well, our jobs done, so I guess we'll be- *Matthews cuts him off* WAIT! It isnt done yet *Pierre sighs* What now? *Matthews continues* A diapers been changed, but a new one is needed *Pierre groans* Oh come on really? *Matthews shrugs* Well if you do Ill tell Mandy you are also a world renouned team that holds championships wherever you go... *Pierre sighs* Look I dont- ...Really? *Matthews nods* Really...I doubt she'll believe it but...really *Pierre thinks...then grins* Boys, lets finish this job! Where are the diapers? *Matthews points to Della room* I think their in there. Come on we'll find them eventually with all of us! *assailANT blinks* But...someone has to watch Baby...*Matthews thinks* Yeah...you're right. ...I got it!
*Five minutes later, Matthews nods as next to Tasha is now...Darkness...Crabtree...Matthews grins* Old people make the best Babysitters! *Crabtree groans* I should have been in bed five hours ago...*Matthews pats his shoulder* Ahhh you'll be fine! Dont worry we wont be long, besides, you've babysitted forever right? *Crabtree thinks* Yeah...but back in my day we actually sat on the babies...*Matthews nods* Well DONT do that! *Crabtree nods lazily as The Submission Squad, Kobald, assailANT, and Matthews all head into the bedroom distracted, leaving Tasha alone with Darkness Crabtree...*
*Crabtree sighs and picks Tasha up lazily and brings her into the living room, whats left of it, and fastens her a newspaper diaper* There we go...now I can read the printed word and you have...a temporary diaper at the same time. *He sets Tasha down on the floor and continues* Back in my day, we didnt have these new fangled newspapers, we just got news from shouting it to each other from across mountians, and of course there were the fire signals, oh the hoops of smoke I could send to other people. If you could have seen me in my prime you would have- zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...*Crabtree conks out asleep standing up. Tasha just stares, and looks around the room, and crawls out of it, through the kicken...out the unlocked and open back door and...out...*
*Meanwhile, Matthews, Kobald, assailANT, and Submission Squad have torn Della and Toms room apart. Matthews snorts* JEEZ! Where in the world could she have put the diapers!? *Pierre shrugs* How the heck should I know? I've never been in here! *Gelistico ruffles through the closet* She is an expert at hiding precious cargo...I admire that! *Kobald whimpers* We're never gonna find them AHA! HAHA! NO! *assailANT blinks, and turns his head...* Hey look, there they are! *Matthews turns, and the Diapers are right on Dellas dresser, in plain sight of everyone, but for some reason no one saw it, and the entire rest of the room is overturned. Vega blinks* Huh...how'd we miss that? *Gary shrugs* Hoo... *Pierre retorts* You should talk, you're an Owl...kind of...and your eyes are your best feature! *Matthews waves his good arm* Ah nevermind, their here, lets get 'em! *They get the diapers, and head back out, to see a sleeping Crabtree, and...no Tasha. assailANT blinks* ...Baby? *Kobald looks around* ...AHA...um... *Matthews walks up to Crabtree, and smacks him on the head, he immediatly wakes up and continues* -I sure was the best at making the smoke signals, of course fire was a new invention at the time- *Matthews yells* CRABTREE! *Crabtree turns* What? *Matthews points* WHERE is THE BABY!? *Crabtree turns to the spot where Tasha used to be...and turns back* ...Huh...must'a wondered off... *Pierre throws his hands up* Wandered off? What were you doing? *Crabtree shrugs* Napping... *assailANT shouts* NAPPING!? You had to watch baby! BAD OLD PERSON! *Crabtree groans* I TOLD you it was past my bedtime... *Matthews growls* FAN OUT! She might still be in the house! *The group fans out all over the house and well...if you thought it was a wreck before...*
*Meanwhile...Tasha crawls outside to the backyard, and beyond thanks to a hole in the fence, and keeps crawling. She doesnt exactly know where shes going, but shes just exploring. She crawls near a lakebank, and eventually finds her way through some marshland, and eventually bumps into something...a green lump of a creature, with arms and humanoid legs, and possibly s head buried underneath a moss like body like most of the rest of it. It turns silently, and Tasha looks up to it blinking. This, creature picks Tasha up and looks her over, and sniffs her quizzically. Tasha's nose crinkles a little at his bitter scent. The creature is still for a moment, then it wonders off, Tasha in arms as he continues inward into the Swamp...*
