Day 6 of Mission: Touch & Go
Friday, June 3, 2005
Everyone returned that night safe and sound. Andy had got a phone call concerning his job application. He has an appointment today with the chief of police. Piper and Chris cooked breakfast and after they eat they start to have a lazy day. That was until the phone rang. One simple act turned into an epidemic. With Prue, Piper, Cole and Richard having their own business, Andy already having an appointment with the chief of police: Leo and Chris not getting money-paying jobs; Phoebe and Paige gets a phone call from The Regester-Hearld and WV work force. They both go to talk with them and Andy leaves about two, leaving Richard and Leo alone with the hell raisers. Chris was once again in the pool.
Richard - We have three choices: leave them with Chris, run or watch them.
Leo - Uh…
Richard and Leo - CHRIS!
A few moments later, they see the elevator is in use. About a minute later, Chris exits.
Chris - What?
Leo - Uh, we need to do something, can you watch the kids.
Chris - looking at them like 'Oh really' - Right. Sure.
Richard - Thank you.
Chris - Nah. It's my pleasure…
Leo - I won't do that to you again, I promise.
Chris - Thank you. Have fun. Oh, and I would suggest you NOT to go to a bar.
Leo - We're not. We've got business to attend to.
Chris - Yeah, the same kind of business that you had when I was 14. Enjoy yourselves.
Richard - Not literally, but we will.
Chris laughs.
Chris - Looks like all three of us have gutterish minds.
Leo - Well, how could we not?
Chris - Actually, Dad, me and Richard have excuses. Where's yours?
Leo - Very funny.
Chris - I try for you.
Richard - We're heading out. Tell Paige I'll be back soon.
Chris - I will.
Leo - And Piper.
Chris - I will. Go!
Richard and Leo leave.
Chris - Ok, where are those kids?
Chris looks everywhere but their rooms. Finally he checks and finds them sound asleep. He gently carries them down stairs and lets them sleep in the Entertainment Room. Chris looks around and gets a vision of a toy room. Once his mind is made up he awakes the kids.
Chris - gently rubbing - Patricia, Andy, Jr., Connor, Connie, Collin, Courtney, Wyatt, Melissa and Christopher. Wake up. - everyone but Christopher starts to awaken - Small fry. - Christopher starts to awaken - Well, I think you've got a new name. - after a few more gentle touches, their name being said and being told to wake up, the kids fully awaken - About time.
Patricia - Sorry, Chris. - she laughs nervously -
Chris - It's ok. But do you guys what to go to Wal-mart?
Andy, Jr. - Why?
Chris - Your play room of course.
Patricia - But we have the outside.
Chris - But it gets hotter here then in San Francisco.
Connor - And colder.
Chris - Well, we don't know for sure. - the kids all look at him - All oh right, so we do know, but winter isn't here, yet.
Andy, Jr. - Thank God.
Patricia - The key word is yet.
Chris -Yeah, know. We'll freeze our tail ends off when November gets here.
Connie - September.
Chris - Naw, why?
Connie - Fall.
Chris - Yeah, well…
Connie - See. You can't find the words, can ya?
Chris - Well, lets go to Wally-world.
Connor - Yay! Wait, what's Wally-world?
Chris - Wal-mart.
Connor - laughing nervously - Oh…
Chris - Don't worry.
Chris pulls out a pen and a piece of paper and starts to write down something.
Andy, Jr. - You better leave a note.
Chris - That's what I'm doing now. - he finishes - There. Lets go.
They lock up the house and get in Chris's car. After Chris makes sure they're secure, they drive to Wal-mart in Beckley.
Chris - Ok, here we are.
They buy all kinds of toys and chairs and everything. Once they get done, they check out and pay for their items. When they're leaving, the kids get hungry. They pass "Ryan's" and decided to eat there.
Chris - Is this place ok?
Patricia - I don't know. It looks big.
Chris - So? You've been in bigger places.
Patricia - Yeah, that isn't the problem. I'm talking about the costumers their serving now.
Chris - We'll be fine. - he gets out of the car and gets the kids - Lets go.
They stay standing in the line for 1 hour before they get served for just a table. Then they get taken to a big table and the waitresses give Chris 9 high chairs. After they get situated, Chris asks Patricia to watch them while he gets their plates (Ryan's is self-serving). After they all get their plates, they eat. Then it's deserts. Their there for 2 hours and then they head home.
Chris - walking in the door - Never again.
Patricia - Never again? Why?
Chris - At least not alone. I thought we'd never get done. I'd rather eat at Subways.
Patricia - I told you.
Chris - Yes, and I should have listened.
Patricia - Yep.
Chris - Ok, while I set this room up, you guys can stay here in living room number 1, is that ok?
Andy, Jr. - Put on some TV!
Chris - Sesame Street?
Patricia - Sounds good.
Chris turns on the TV and lets them watch something that's suitable for kids. Then he goes in to the Entertainment room. He had bought a mini fridge and ice box. He puts them in the mega bar. He had bought small glasses for kids, tables and chairs for kids, stools for kids and about anything for kids that they hadn't already got. He assembles the room and put the last few touches on the room. He puts a wide screen TV with DVD in the room, a collection of kids films and family favorites, shelves of toys, a toy box, a computer (high up so they can't reach it) V-techs, a stack of coloring books with crayons, markers, color pencils and washable paint. He finally puts the finale: a slide projector. When he finishes, it's amazing. He hooked up light fixtures and the room is perfectly lit. Chris walks into living room #1.
Chris - You guys ready. - all the kids cheer and make that sound - I'll take that as a yes.
Chris takes them into the Entertainment Room aka "kids Room."
Andy, Jr. - NOW that is a Entertainment Room!
Patricia - COOL!
Connor - Now this is cool!
Connie - This is awesome!
Wyatt claps and laughs. Collin and Courtney laugh and giggle happily. Small fry and Melissa make happy noises.
Chris - Well, I'm glad you guys like it. Have at it. - the kids all run and play. Chris sits down and watches. After awhile they get tired and Patricia tugs on Chris' pant leg. - Yes, Patricia?
Patricia - We're tired. Can we go lay down.
Chris - remembering - Oh. I forget something.
Patricia -What?
Chris - I'll be right back. Watch the kids.
Chris rushes outside. When Chris gets back, the kids cheer again.
Andy, Jr. - Nap mats?
Chris - Yeah, I forgot I put them under the backseats. - he lays them out and the kids climb onto them - There you go. Now I need a rocker. - Patricia laughs - What's so funny?
Patricia - You don't need a rocking chair. Your still young.
Chris - Maybe, but it'd be more comfortable than this bar.
Patricia - True. Hey, call Uncle Leo or Richard.
Chris - I'll call Dad. - Chris walks into the kitchen - And a phone… - someone picks up - Hey Dad… yeah, it's me… do you know any other 23 year old men to call you Dad that Mom and me should know about…- he laughs - No, uh, I was wondering if you could do me a favor. Well, stop by somewhere and get me a reclining rocker and a phone. Yeah, uh I'll tell you later…You still have your money right… Yeah good. Thanks. Bye. - He hangs up. He walks back to the kids room. - Thanks Patricia.
Patricia - Hey, what are cousins for?
Chris - I guess. Goodnight.
Andy, Jr. - Good nap.
Chris - Right, good nap.
The kids take a nap while Chris washes the breakfast and a few dishes that they dirtied up. When they waken, Chris is sitting in the exact some place he was before.
Patricia - Hey, what's up?
Chris - Nothing. You ready to play again.
Patricia - I'm ready to eat.
Chris - Kids. You ate not to long ago.
Patricia - Long enough.
Chris - What do you want?
Patricia - Ham sandwich with chips and dip.
Chris fixes her a ham sandwich with chips and dip. After she eats, she's back to sleep.
Chris - Gosh, she's just like a baby. Hope she can do the latter alone.
Time Lapse
About two hours later, the kids all wake up and start to play again. About 30 minutes after that, Chris sees out of the window in the Lobby, Leo's car pull up. Thinking the kids are playing, Chris steps outside to help.
Chris - Hey.
Leo - Hey. Hey, ya know, I didn't know if you wanted a cell phone, a portable phone or a wall/desk phone. - Chris sighs disappointingly - Oh no, I didn't get it right. you wanted a dial phone, didn't you. No, you wanted a speaker phone…
Chris - No Dad, you got it right. I'm just disappointed at myself. I should have made myself more clear.
Leo - No, I should have asked.
Richard - What one did you want.
Chris - Portable.
They all laugh. While their talking, Wyatt goes into the dish room (third kitchen) and gets a fork. He goes to the elevator and pushs the button. When the door opens, he pushes the second floor. The elevator close and Wyatt goes up.
Lobby
Leo walks into the kids room while Chris puts the reclining rocker down and then goes to hook up the phone.
Leo - Wow, this really looks good Chris.
Chris - Thanks. Will you testify for me when I go on trial…
Leo - What? They haven't found you yet, have they.
Chris laughs.
Chris - No, not Sheridan; Mom and the Aunts. I turned their Entertainment Room into a kids room.
Leo sighs relieved.
Leo - I was afraid someone had found you.
Chris - No, The Agency even cleaned my slate. Sheridan will never find me.
Leo - That's the truth. Inspector Sheridan died the day the girls vanquished the nexus.
Chris -What?
Leo - Yeah, Zankou killed her.
Chris - That's impossible. That means Walter gave up on her.
Leo - I'm sorry, who?
Chris - Walter. My demonic nemeses. He's my counterpart. Danielle Sheridan's boss.
Leo - Sheridan was a demon.
Chris - No, she was a lot worse. She was an evil Time Traveler helper. With me dead, all evil TT's and TLT's go to Walter.
Leo - I'm sorry. TT's and TLT's
Chris - Yes, Time travelers and True Love Treasures. The good ones go to the agency but evil goes to Walter.
Leo - Huh. That's something I didn't know.
Chris - Don't tell Paige that or I will be taking you guys back to Raleigh General Hospital.
Leo - Why?
Chris - To Paige, you know everything.
Leo - I don't. I'll be the first to tell ya.
Chris - I know, but she doesn't.
Leo - noticing - Where's Wyatt?
Chris - He's here playing… - he looks around - or he's suppose to be. Wyatt?
Leo - Wyatt?
They go through the bottom floor yelling his name.
Chris - Mom is going to kill me.
Leo - No, she's gonna kill me.
Chris - I lost him, not you.
Leo - But I was suppose to watch him!
Chris - Ok, how bout this; she'll kill us both.
Leo - No. Just me!
Chris -Why!?
Leo - One, you've already died, she won't risk it; two, she gave me two tries, she owes you two too.
Chris - Two tries, what do you mean? - Chris stops searching and looks at Leo -
Leo - I lost you and Wyatt, both in the same day… - he laughs nervously -
Chris - What?
Leo - Yeah, Christopher fount a bird and crawled over to it. Wyatt walked over to a patch of wild flowers and fell asleep in one day.
Chris - starting to look again - That's bad.
Leo - You're telling me. I'd be lucky if she ever trusts me with you boys again.
Chris - Oh Dad.
Leo - What, it's true.
Chris and Leo search all over the main floor with a fine tooth comb. But nothing. About one hour later, Chris gets worried.
Chris - What if he crawled or walked outside. What if he's hurt. what if… - Chris starts to panic -
Leo - CHRIS! Chris; it's ok… it's ok… we're gonna find him.
Chris - Well, what if we don't.
Leo - We will.
Chris - Hey, maybe he went upstairs.
Leo - Good idea. I'll take the stairs, you go upstairs by the elevator incase he's already up there.
Chris - Ok, go.
Chris walks to the elevator in the lobby. He presses the button and the arrow lights up symbolizing it's somewhere else.
Chris - Got ya.
The elevator door opens and Chris gets inside. He rides up to the second floor. When he arrives the door opens and there is Wyatt. Chris gets out and hugs him.
Chris - There you are. You had me really scared, buddy.
Wyatt - in baby talk - Sorry.
Chris - It's ok, you just wanted to explore.
Wyatt looks at him guilty.
Chris - There, there. Let's go get Daddy, huh?
Chris and Wyatt head for the stairs. He goes down them and finally catches Leo.
Wyatt - to Chris in baby talk - Dada.
Chris - Hey, I found him.
Leo - Oh thank God.
Chris - Yeah, he was just exploring.
Leo - Where was he?
Chris - In front of the Elevator on the second floor.
Leo - Dang, you almost lost him.
Chris - Yeah, it was close.
Leo - Ok, why don't you take Wyatt where he wants to go and me and Richard will watch the kids.
Chris - Are you done with your "business."
Leo - Unfortunately, yes we are.
Chris laughs.
Chris - Their not that bad.
Leo - Yeah right.
Chris - Their not if you tell them what's what.
Leo - We have no authority over our kids.
Chris - Sure ya do, you just haven't found it yet. - Chris and Wyatt push the button and board the elevator - Just remember what I said.
Chris and Wyatt ride up to the third floor.
Time Lapse
Leo and Richard watched the kids, while Chris and Wyatt explored. Chris actually found something Piper had been searching for: laundry room. About an hour of exploring does Wyatt and he actually falls asleep in Chris's arms going down to the main floor from the penthouse. Chris gets off of the elevator and puts Wyatt on the napping mat in the kids room. When he comes back out, Prue, Andy, Piper, Phoebe, Cole and Paige are home.
Chris - Wow, you're back.
Piper - Yeah, we ate at the best place.
Chris - Oh, really, where?
Prue - It's below Wal-mart.
Chris - Ut oh.
Phoebe - Uh, what was it…
Paige- I can't remember.
Cole - It started with an R.
Andy - Ryder's.
Chris - sighing - No, Ryan's.
Piper - Yeah, that was it!
Phoebe - How did you know?
Chris - I took the kids there today.
Prue - What?
Chris - I got them some stuff for the kids room.
Paige - What kids room?
Chris - The kids room we made.
Andy - Where did you put it?
Chris - walking away - In here.
Leo - I like it.
Richard - You won't.
Prue - Why not?
Piper - Yeah, why not?
Richard - Just follow him.
Phoebe - Do I even want to know?
Richard - No.
Cole - The only way to find out is to follow Chris?
They follow Chris into the 'Entertainment Room.'
Chris - Tada. What do you think.
Andy, Prue, Piper and Leo smile. Phoebe, Cole and Paige are shell shocked.
Richard - Told ya.
Prue, Andy, Piper and Leo - I love it.
Chris - Aunt Phoebe, Paige and Uncle Cole?
Cole - Uh, I like it…
Chris - But?
Cole - No buts. I like it.
Chris - Good. Paige?
Paige - My entertainment room! What have you done to it?
Chris - You have 8 living rooms and 1 large lobby; you can give up your entertainment room. You're a Mom, Paige. You will give up a lot for your kids. Starting with this room!
Paige - All right. I like it.
Chris - Good, Phoebe.
Phoebe - I love, love, LOVE it!
Chris smiles.
Piper - Chris?
Chris - What?
Piper - I bet you really love these kids.
Chris - Yes, I do. I didn't raise this bunch, but I did raise your others.
Phoebe - Sorry.
Chris - It's ok. Oh, Cole?
Cole - No complaints. None, none at all.
Chris - Good, so everyone likes it.
Piper, Leo, Phoebe, Cole, Paige, Richard, Prue and Andy - Yes!
Chris - Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got baths to give.
Chris walks off and the girls and guys sigh.
Time Lapse
Chris gave the kids baths and got them in bed by 9. The adults watch some TV and Chris goes to bed by midnight. The rest stay awake watching movies.
