Destination: Moon
Didi shook her head as she took the toy rocket from Chuckie, patting him on the back as he heaved out his lunch. "I'm sorry sweetie but I'm going to have to hold onto this for a little while." She cleaned him up before handing Phil, Lil, Chuckie, Tommy, and Melvin a ball to play with.
'I have to talk to Charles about what toys he lets Chuckie bring over. This rocket might be okay for a 2 year old but if Chuckie had hit Tommy or the twins with it he might have seriously hurt them! And what if they got wrapped up in the string? They could have choked! It is simply too dangerous for little hands.' Didi shook her head; some toys weren't meant for babies.
"Hey Tommy," Phil said as Didi walked back over to the patio table and sat down to continue reading her book, "why did your mommy take Chuckie's rocket?"
"Uh… I don't know," Tommy admitted.
"Maybe she wants to play with it herself," Lil suggested.
"I don't think so," Tommy said, tilting his head… and nearly tumbling over as he did so. "She's just looking at that picture book."
"Maybe its really yummy candy and she wants it all to herself!" Melvin declared.
"I think we'd know if it were candy." Tommy pressed his lips together. "I bet she wants us to get the rocket!"
"But why would she take it?" Chuckie asked.
"So we could then get it from her! Come on!"
"I'll go make a destraction in the garage!" Melvin declared. Tommy nodded and toddled over to Didi, doing his best to look nonchalant and casual, but just as he made a move to climb up onto the chair Didi picked him up.
"Aw, what is it sweetie? Ready for a nice nap?" Tommy shook his head rapidly. No… it was time to get the rocket! "Oh, look at my tired little guy. Stu, can you watch the kids? I'm going to change Tommy and take him for an early nap!"
"Sure thing, Deed!"
Tommy began to whimper and fuss but Didi merely smiled at that. "Someone is so cranky… yes, a nice nap will help."
Tommy tried to wiggle free! He didn't want a nap he wanted to toy space ship! They were going to play with it… and ride in it… to the moon… and-
FLASH!
Tommy blinked. What… what was going on? Something about a nap? He looked at Phil and Lil and Chuckie and… and just them. He was kind of sleepy…
"Got him?" Agent K asked as Agent J hopped into the car.
"Slippo is shoved in the trunk. Stupid alien, hiding out in garages."
"Come on guys!" the alien complained. "I just wanted to assemble a new ship! And yeah, I ate one baby! But who names their kid Melvin?" He paused. "BURP!"

"And that's why aliens are bad," Mr. Chaos told Dil.
The soul stuck his tongue out.
