A month later

"I need support! SUPPORT!" Bart shouted, struggling to keep the long piece of wood in it's place. Dustin quickly put down his hammer and ran over to the arctic side, throwing on a winter coat in the process. He grabbed the other side of the board as Bart hammered the one side into place. Sparcticus was struggling to get his piece into place, but with only three of them there, he couldn't get much help. Patch had to leave for a medical emergency, Arfur is still too busy, and Eddie-

"I've got it don't worry," Eddie's voice sounded. Sparcticus looked over to his right curiously for a second, but brought his hammer up anyway and nailed the wood into place as well.

"I thought you had to do some stuff for your dad," he said. Eddie shrugged, struggling a bit to hold the heavy piece of wood.

"Ah, well, I thought it would be more important to help my friend build his house instead," he said, putting on a cheesy smile. Sparcticus gave him a suspicious look.

"You don't have to babysit Edwin either?" he asked. Eddie shook his head.

"Nah. Seiko offered to watch him today,"

"You didn't tell her about the-"

"No, I didn't say anything about the house," Eddie said. Sparcticus nodded. He wanted the house to be a surprise, and Seiko was just as bad as Leafos when it came to stuff like this. If she knew, the town would know, and then Sahari would already know-

"Wait, I thought you agreed to never leave Seiko with Edwin again," Sparcticus said. Eddie nodded.

"I did, but she wanted him today," his eyes darted back and forth before he spoke in a lower tone of voice, "Sahari wants to do a little bit of parenting practice with him." Sparcticus gave him a questioning look.

"She wants to practice being a mother with your baby brother?" he asked, "... He doesn't cry too much does he?"

"... Why?" Eddie asked.

"God dammit it, does he ALWAYS cry like this?" Sahari almost had to scream into her alert system. She could hear Seiko laughing slightly on the other side.

"Sahari, it only means that he needs something. Calm down a second," she said, "Have you seen if he's hungry yet?"

"Uh, duh!" she said, "but he won't SHUT UP!" She had to scream over the baby. Edwin's crying did not cease, however, and it only seemed to get louder. Seiko sighed.

"I thought you said you were good with kids?"

"Usually, when they aren't SCREAMING EVERY DAMN SECOND!"

"Okay, first, stop saying stuff like 'damn' or 'dammit'," she said, "You don't want his first word to be that." Sahari sighed.

"Come on Seiko, help me here! You know him better then I do," she almost whined. Seiko was silent for a second.

"... Have you checked his diaper yet? Because I know that he poops a LOT," Seiko said as if she were remembering a terrible memory. Sahari paused for a second, looking at Edwin. His crying had ceased a little bit, and he was whimpering and sniffling like a lost puppy. His chubby little cheeks were tear stained, and he would let out a hiccup ever now and then. His eyes were practically telling her that Seiko was right as if he could hear her through the phone. Sahari frowned.

"... Don't tell Eddie I said this, but I really do not like Edwin right now."

"Well, he doesn't cry to the point where it will drive you to insanity," Eddie said. Sparcticus rolled his eyes, trying not to say anything about the Seiko incident at Arfur's.

"Do you have it now?" Eddie asked. Sparcticus nodded.

"Yeah. You can take your hands off of it now," he said. Eddie took a step back, watching as Sparcticus did the other side of the wood. He was about to walk off when Dustin suddenly came flying over, throwing his coat off in the process. He had his alert system in one hand, while his other hand was holding a ladder.

"EDDIE! There you are! Are you planning on taking your shirt off soon?" He asked. Eddie was quiet for a moment.

"... Why?" he asked hesitantly. Dustin held up his alert system.

"Seiko alerted me telling me to take a picture of you without your shirt on," he said. Eddie was quiet again.

"... Why would she ask that?" Sparcticus asked. Dustin turned to him.

"Because she knows that we are building the house, and if Eddie is on the desert side and gets sweaty, he will take off his shirt-"

"I thought you said you didn't tell Seiko!" Sparcticus almost yelled, turning to Eddie. Eddie flinched.

"I-I didn't-"

"Oh, I told her. It wasn't him," Dustin said. Sparcticus turned to him, his fingers twitching a bit.

"... WHY?" He shouted, which was really unlike him. Dustin shrugged.

"Well, it started with Maxime, because she asked me why the guys would always leave in the morning and come back in the evening. So I told her, then Seiko overheard and demanded to know since you never told her anything," he said with a glance at Eddie, "Then she told Gretchen, but no one has told Leafos or Sahari yet," he paused, "At least I am not sure if Sahari knows or not. Maybe I should ask-" Sparcticus snatched the alert system out of the blonde boy's hands. He walked over to the backyard of the house in progress, and chucked it as hard as he could into the snow. He walked back over to the other two.

"Hey, what was that for?" Dustin asked angrily. Sparcticus glared at him.

"Dustin... I told you specifically that we didn't tell ANY of the girls about the project," he said, "You have lost your alert system privileges."

"Dammit..." Dustin pouted. That was when he finally remembered that Bart needed the ladder.

"HELLO? CAN SOMEONE HELP ME HERE?" Bart shouted, hanging on for dear life on the partial roof as his legs were dangling.

Later that afternoon~

"So hows she doing?" Maxime asked. Seiko shook her head, putting her alert system down onto the table.

"Well, she understands why I was frustrated with him, that's for sure," she said, "Don't get me wrong- Edwin is the CUTEST thing ever, but he screams and poops like there is no tomorrow." Maxime held back a laugh, taking a sip of her milkshake.

"Oh God. I think it runs in the family. Or at least the screaming part," she said. Seiko raised a brow.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Oh please Seiko. Like you don't think Eddie is a bit of a crybaby sometimes," Maxime said. Seiko pouted.

"Eddie is not a crybaby! He can just be a little overly dramatic-" Seiko was cut off when her alert system went off. She held up a finger to Maxime to tell her to wait a second while she checked the message.

"Hang on, it's from Eddie," she said. Maxime rolled her eyes, doing the old "Of course it is" face.

Hey Seiko! It's Dustin. Sparcticus threw my Alert system into the snow, so I had to steal Lizard's :P Anyway, here's the picture you wanted!

Seiko opened up the picture so it would appear on her screen. She almost started drooling when Eddie's picture came up.

The Lizard boy wasn't wearing his shirt (like she had hoped) and unlike what most people thought, he was quite well-toned. His bangs were dripping with sweat, sticking to his red eye band. His tongue hung out slightly, longing to get a taste of the cold glass of water he had in his hands. While Seiko was busy drooling over it, Maxime leaned over to take a peek, and snorted.

"I don't get what's so great about it. That twig doesn't even have any abs," she commented. Seiko turned, giving her a look.

"Maybe, but he's well toned," she said, turning her attention back to the picture, which was now covered with another message.

Here's one of Sparty too if you want to look at it :D

Seiko pulled up the second picture Dustin had sent, and this time Maxime was almost drooling.

Unlike Eddie, Sparcticus actually was quite muscular, complete with rather large biceps and abs. His body seemed to be covered with sweat, though his hair was soaked all the way through. He also had a glass in his hands, but it was empty, and it was clear that he had dumped it over his head to help him cool off. His dark bangs clung onto his mask as he looked to be exhaling deeply.

"Damn... Sahari is one lucky woman," Maxime said, taking out her alert system, "You have to send me that one." Seiko gave her a curious look.

"Um, wouldn't Sahari get mad if her Maid of Honor had a picture of her topless fiance on her alert system?"

"... She doesn't have to know... but whatever. Sahari likes to snoop around anyway," Maxime said, putting her alert system back into her pocket. Seiko looked back at her own alert system, which had a new message on it.

Hey, I don't know if Maxime is there or not, but if you see her, give her this for me would ya? ;)

After pulling up the picture, Seiko about died laughing.

This time it was Dustin without his shirt, and obviously there wasn't much there. You could tell that he was using one hand to hold the alert system out while he 'flexed' with the other one while putting a 'sexy' face on. He wasn't toned at all, he was just really skinny, and his arms had no muscle to show off on them. What was really funny was the fact that Bart was in the back ground, having a very irritated, constipated look on his face.

"He's not serious, is he?" Maxime commented. Seiko calmed down, giving Maxime the most straight look she could manage.

"... I really don't know Maxime. I really don't," she said. Maxime shrugged.

"I can tell he's not going to get very far. No muscles, completely stupid, small penis... yeah he'd be lucky to get someone as desperate as Fannie."

"What in the world are you doing?" Bart asked in a very irritated tone. Dustin screamed, almost dropping the alert system on the ground. Sparcticus and Eddie turned around, looking at the two curiously.

"Um... I was, uh, taking pictures for, uh-"

"Hey, is that my alert system?" Eddie asked, his face looking quite irritated. Dustin turned to him, nodding.

"Yeah. I had to take some pictures to send to your girlfriend," he said.

"... You didn't send her a picture of your... thing... did you?" Eddie said, snatching the alert system out of his hands. Dustin snorted.

"Of course not! But I would have if Bart didn't ruin my fun," he muttered. Eddie frowned, looking at the pictures that Dustin had sent.

"Okay, first, the fact that you took these kinds of pictures is kinda freaky," Eddie said, deleting the one with Sparcticus and the one with Dustin right away before continuing, "and second, WHY would you send these to Seiko?" Eddie asked. Dustin shrugged.

"Well, she asked me too,"

"Did she really?"

"Well duh! She liked them by the way," Dustin added. Sparcticus didn't really say anything, and Bart muttered something about "That girl needs therapy" or something along those lines. Eddie, on the other hand, was just staring at him.

"Are you sure?" Eddie asked, trying to make a serious face, "She might think I'm a creep or something."

"Nah. She's probably just deprived or something," Dustin said. Eddie raised a brow.

"What do you mean, 'deprived'?"

"Oh come on Eddie, get real! Whenever you two hug, your hands don't even try to sneak down to her butt, and whenever you guys kiss, your never bold and try to tongue her or anything-"

"Dustin," Eddie said, clearly starting to get irritated, "I would shut up if I were you." Dustin rolled his eyes, walking away now. Eddie glared as he watched Dustin walking away, his face turning a bit pink.

"Jesus, that kid sometimes," he muttered, crossing his arms. Bart and Sparcticus looked at each other, the awkwardness in the air almost touchable.

"... So do you just not know how to touch a girl or what?" Bart teased. Eddie turned bright red again, turning to Sparcticus.

"I'm sorry, but I remembered that there was something my father needed me to do," he said, throwing his shirt on as he stormed away. Bart was snickering, while Sparcticus was trying his best not to smile.

"... Should we just call this a day?" The Eskimo asked, letting a slight laugh escape. Bart nodded.

"I think it would be best for everyone," he said.

... Really random... I don't know where some of this came from, but here it is xD I hoped you all enjoyed it :D It's longer then usual!
