Day 4 of Mission: Touch & Go

Wednesday, June 1, 2005

They got to Odd ok and in time to watch Dukes of Hazzard. Paige loved it. They sat up for a while and headed for bed. The next morning, Phoebe hears a chain saw outside of her window. She and Cole rush to the window and see Chris hanging from the tree, cutting down debris from the railing.

Phoebe - yelling - CHRIS! CHRIS! - Chris stops the chain saw - What are you doing?

Chris - Cleaning off this debris.

Phoebe - When no one is awake?

Chris - Ha, you should see what I see. They're all up. Mom is screaming so much, her face is red.

Piper - CHRISTOPHER PERRY VICTOR NATHIEL DANIEL HOLMES NO DEMON HUNTING HALLIWELL-WYATT WYATT-HALLIWELL! Get down this instant! NOW!

Chris - starting back up the chain saw; yelling - Not until I finish up here.

Time Lapse

He starts to cut. The girls and boys watch Chris's every move until he's safe and sound. When he gets down, Piper about beats him half to death with words. They all give him a lecture, no ifs ands or buts about it. They eat and then Richard leaves to get furniture for his new office.

Chris - Ya know, Uncle Richard has a good idea, maybe we should go out and find work.

Piper - Not all of us. We voted and we decided to elect you as babysitter.

Chris - What?

Prue - You're our babysitter. You seem to know them more than us and we all know you get along with them.

Phoebe - So who else would we get?

Paige - You are the only one.

Andy - You just fit.

Leo - I couldn't think of anyone else.

Cole - Why wouldn't we?

Richard - You have any complaints or comments?

Chris - Even my little self? - they laugh - Ok. I'll do it. Even Small Fry.

Phoebe - Who?

Chris - Mini me.

Piper smiles.

Chris - Guys, you know I gave you that money, so use it. Don't save it for a rainy day. You have plenty.

Paige - I'll say.

Chris - So, have fun. I'm unleashing the hounds.

Piper - Be back soon. Lets' get that money. Help yourself Chris, you live here too.

Chris - I know.

Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Prue, Leo, Cole, Richard and Andy - Bye.

Chris rolls his eyes, waves at them and they get the money and ride down with Prue and Piper to Beckley. Chris gets the kids out of the entertainment room.

Chris - You guys ready?

Connor - YES!

Chris - What do you want to do?

Patricia - Swim!

Chris - I was afraid of that. Lets go.

He picks up Melissa, Wyatt, Small Fry, Collin and Courtney and puts them in some strollers. Patricia, Andy, Jr., Connor and Connie walk to the elevators, helping Chris push the strollers. Once they get to the basement they get trunks and swim suits on and Chris puts the kids in floaters. They swim until noon and they eat. After 30 minutes, they swim again. They have all kinds of fun and finally get out fifteen till six. Supper time.

Time Lapse

Chris - Ok, time to get out, if I let you guys have too much fun, your Mommies and Daddies won't let me baby-sit you.

Patricia - We are not babies.

Chris - No, but to them you are. Even I am.

Andy, Jr. - Yeah, you got in some real big trouble.

Chris - Yes I did.

Connor - What happened.

Chris - I disobeyed.

Connie - Never. Again.

Chris - Good policy.

They go upstairs and explore the fridge.

Chris - What do you want?

Patricia, Andy, Jr., Connor and Connie - Hamburgers.

Chris - Melissa, Small Fry? - they giggle - Wyatt, Collin, Courtney?

Wyatt, Collin and Courtney - Yea!

Chris - Ur, Mom?

Patricia - Veggie burgers?

Chris - Good idea.

Patricia - That way she can eat hamburgers without going crazy.

Chris - Who's up to a little trip?

Patricia - I'm ok with it.

Andy, Jr. - Where are we goin'?

Chris - Kroger.

Connor - I've never been there.

Chris - Neither have I. Let's go.

Andy, Jr. - We better leave a note.

Chris - Yeah, just in case.

He leaves a note and heads out with the kids. They go into Beckley, there's 1 just below RGH (Raleigh General Hospital). They pull in and get a few groceries. When their checking out, there is a pregnant woman in front of them with her husband. All of a sudden, a puddle of water goes down her legs.

Woman - Ut oh honey, it's time.

Man - It's time! It's time?

Woman - It's time!

Man - Uh, how much money? Quickly!

Cashier - No, go. Congratulations. This one's on me.

The man rushes the woman out. Gets in his car, turns on the blinkers and pulls out and into RGH.

Chris - Hello. Uh, what's up with the blinkers?

Cashier - That's when there's an emergency. Flip on your emergency lights.

Chris - Huh!

Cashier - You didn't know that?

Chris - No, I knew, but they don't obey that in the big city.

Cashier - Where are y'all from?

Chris - San Francisco.

Cashier - Wow! That's quite a distance.

Chris - Yeah, it was.

Cashier - after scanning his items - Ten dollars and ninety-five cents.

Chris hands her, her amount.

Cashier - Thank you, please come again.

Chris nods.

Chris - Goodnight.

Cashier - Uh, goodnight.

Chris gets the kids strapped in and pulls out. They drive back to Odd. When they arrive, the girls are back.

Andy, Jr. - Told ya.

Chris - And I did.

They gets out and walk in.

Chris - to himself - If she's got supper on after this: so help me god…

Piper - seeing Chris - Chris! Hey guys, they're back.

Chris - Are you mad?

Piper - For what? You left a note. Thank you.

Prue - Now, if you didn't, that'd be a different story.

Chris - Thank Andy, Jr.

Prue - No way.

Andy, Jr. -Who'd thunk it, I move to West Virginia and get smart.

Prue laughs and hugs him.

Andy, Jr. - Mom!

Chris - Mom, you haven't started supper have ya?

Piper - No, I figured you went to the store to get something the kids wanted, so I didn't.

Chris - Good, we got an experiment to test.

Piper - Oh, really?

Chris - Really. - pulling out the veggie burgers - Huh?

Piper - Uh, I don't know about that.

Chris - That's why it's an experiment.

Piper - We'll try.

Leo - Oh god. Here we go.

Chris - Maybe not. This is veggie burgers, not hamburgers.

Piper - Ok, work your ma… never mind.

Chris - Thank you.

Piper - Go.

Chris walks into the kitchen and cooks. After he cooks, they eat and await the verdict.

Chris - Any urges? Sudden perkiness, anything?

Piper - surprised - No.

Leo closes his eyes and sighs relieved.

Leo - Thank god!

Piper - I got a cure!

Leo - Thank god!

Patricia, Andy, Jr., Connor and Connie - Here, here.

Piper - Thank you, Chris.

Chris - Nah, it's ok. My pleasure.

Leo - I hope not.

Everyone but Chris laughs.

Chris - Very funny. Ha, ha, ha.
