I do not own any of the characters except for Arabella.
~Arabella's POV~
I was hanging out with Jack at his house, we were watching the incredibles. It was the afternoon.
"I love this movie." I said enjoying the movie. "Yeah, I would be awesome to have powers like from the film." Jack said awestruck. I hummed, I was cuddling with Jack, I was sitting in front of him while he was back me with his arms around my shoulders. "Oh, I heard the mall is remodeling." I told him. "Yeah. Maybe we will see it tomorrow when we go to the dojo."
"Yeah." I replied and cuddled closer to him, I felt Jack's hand cupped my face and lean over to kiss me and I kissed back. We separated and give each other loving glances. I placed my hand on his cheek and nuzzled to him, as he repeated the action with me. I was excited to see how the mall will look with all the construction tomorrow.
Don't you get all tough with me, I'm saying won't you come kick it with me? and we can have a ball, run up the wall, this is how we do, and no matter how much, I chop and punch, it's not as cool as kickin' it with you.
Here we go, let's start the party, chop it up like it's karate.
everybody, don't you get all tough with me, I'm saying won't you come kick it with me? and we can have a ball, run up the wall, this is how we do, and no matter how much I chop and punch, it's not as cool as kickin' it with you.
"Man, I can't believe how much bigger they're making the Mall." Jack said as we are marveled at the sight of the constructing site in the courtyard.
"You know, we really shouldn't be here without hard hats." Eddie pointed out.
"Well, I've got nothing to worry about." I said.
"Why not?" Eddie asked.
"Because Jack always seems to see something bad before it happens and literally stops it from happening. It's like a superpower." I praised it as I look at Jack who was flushed pink, "Well, it's true, Jackie." I hugged his arm.
"Come on, I know I'm awesome." Jack replied, wrapping his arm around my waist. I giggled.

"Jerry, this is my dojo. It's a place of honor,
respect, and integrity." Rudy exclaimed as he punched on a kiddie toy making it oink, moo, quack, rooster crows. We were setting up a day care in the dojo so we can watch over Byron, the principal's son. Jerry found himself in a near-expulsion situation and we were helping him get out of it. Kim wasn't here, she was babysitting her little sister and couldn't come.
"Come on, Rudy. If we don't do this I'll get expelled." Jerry pleads.
"Well, it would be so hard, it only one kid." I chimed in.
"This is not a day care center, and it never will be!" Rudy insisted.
"Dojo day care center. What a concept." The principal said, "You're really gonna love it here, Byron."
"I am nipping this in the bud right now." Rudy told Jerry.
"Rudy, come on."
"Principal Buckett..." Rudy ignored Jerry.
"Who do I make out the 100 check to?" The principal asked.
"That would be Rudy Gillespie." Rudy immediately answered, clapping, "Uh, Milton, Eddie, take Byron, put him in the ball pit and give him a graham cracker."
"I'm not touching this little snotbag." Milton denied, "That thing is wearing a toilet."
"I'll take him." I offered, taking Byron from the principal arms, "Hey, baby Byron."
"There you go. There you go. Later, Byron." The principal cooed as we made a transfer.
"You don't have to worry about a thing, Principal Buckett." Jerry promised.
"I'm holding you responsible for my son, Jerry. I'll be back at 7:00, and my legs will be smoldering. Ole!" The principal said before walking out of the dojo.
"His legs going to be smoldering, ew." I said in disgust.
"This really stinks, Jerry." Milton commented.
"Oh, relax." Jerry scoffed, "It's just a couple of
hours with one little baby."
"By the way, I, uh..." the principal spoke, as he reentered the dojo, " I put up a notice on the faculty bulletin board about this place."
"Wait a minute, that's mean-" I was cut off by parents and their kids coming into the dojo. Once they all left Jerry was covered in babies and toddlers, "We're gonna be stuck with a bunch of kids for couple of hours."
... (• Ε •)
It was chaos, children were playing and running around the dojo, and screaming at the top of their lungs.
"Hey. Hey, hold it. Stop! Stop running!" Jack chased a little girl around the dojo.
"Stop running!"
I was holding one of the kids in my arms, it was a girl toddler who was crying earlier and I was soothing her to calm down. "It's okay, here a cookie." I handed her a cookie and she took it as I placed her down on a kiddie chair and she started eating the cookie.
"Hey, that kid's got my trophy again." Rudy shouted before he started to chasing the boy around the room, "Get back here, you!"
The kid stopped and slammed the trophy into a table which resulted in a clanging noise, "No.
No! He snapped my little man's head off. You better sleep with one eye open during nap time!"
"Rudy! Don't threaten the kid. They're only toddlers and under." I berated, walking up to Jack.
"Rudy." Jack called, carrying the little girl from that he chased earlier and he had a sandwich in his hand? She giggled and he mocked her giggled back, "Rudy, where's Milton?"
"He's changing some baby's diaper." Rudy said picking up some toys from the ground.
"He is?" Jack asked confused, "Well, what
about his fear of germs?"
Milton came out in a biohazard attire. "Well, their your answer." I pointed at Milton. Milton dragged the baby in a wagon, holding a dirty diaper with some tongs, and throwing in the diaper dispenser. Milton ripped open his suit as the diaper was in the dispenser and breathes heavily.
"Okay, we should be good now." Milton breathed, "That diaper weighed more than he does."
"We got an escapee! Pigtails walking!" Rudy shouted before exiting the dojo.
I was throwing some balls back into the ball pin, moving my hair back a bit. "How are you feeling?" Jack asked me, walking up behind me after placing the little girl down on the ground.
"I'm doing good, this is exciting and exhausting." I said as I looked around the room, "I had to clean this room after everyone leaves."
"Hey, you got this." Jack assured me. "Thanks." I replied, as the sound of one of the kid screaming while knocking down all the trophies interrupted and the next second one ot the kid shot at Rudy with a bon-bon in top of his eyebrow.
"I'm outta of here!" Rudy announced loudly.
...(• Ε •)
"I think we're safe." I heard Milton say from the ball pit just as he said that he was hit. Milton and Eddie were hiding from the two kids who were hitting them. "Oh! Did you say we're safe? Oh, whoa, whoa!" Eddie groaned in pain, and drive back down in the ball pit.
"Oh, uh, Jerry, where's baby Byron?" Jack wondered.
"What?" Jerry looked around, "I thought he was with you."
"Oh, that's isn't good." I muttered as we looked around to search the dojo for him.
"Baby Byron?" As we called for baby Bryon and ran around the dojo looking for him.
"Dude, he's not in here!" Jack panicked,
"What?" Jerry whimpered, "I'm gonna be expelled."
"Oh, forget expelled, you're going to prison." I exclaimed.
"Oh, forget prison, I'm going to summer school!" Jerry whimpered.
"How that's worse than prison?"
"Do you what they do to guys like me in summer school?"
"Jerry, calm down." Jack tried to tell him.
"No, I can't calm down." Jerry screamed, "I just lost the Principal's baby."
...(• Ε •)
"Yo. We lost the Principal's baby." Jerry said as he paced around the room, "Okay, it's not like losing some English teacher's baby. This is big time!"
I ran my hand through my hair, and looked around and then I noticed him outside, "guys, he's outside, come on!" I started to jog for the door while boys followed me.
"Uh, Eddie, Milton? You guys hold down the fort." Jack ordered.
The sound of machinery whirring rang through the air as we opened the door only for Bryon to be gone. "What? Dude." Jack panicked again, "What happened? He was just here"
"This kid's like a Cheetah in a diaper." Jerry said, "Look, he's gotta be around here somewhere. Find him!"
We spilt up and ran around the entire mall trying to find the baby until we came back to same place again.
"Byron?"
"Byron, where are you, buddy?"
"Yo, any luck?" Jerry asked when we met up again.
"No." I replied.
Jerry groans in frustration. "Look... look, if we
can't find this baby, we'll just have to give Buckett something that looks like one."
"What are you talking about?" Jack asked in disbelief.
"I'm talking about slapping a diaper on a ham and drawing eyeballs on it." Jerry said.
"That's is a stupid idea, Jerry." I said slapping the back of his head, then we heard a baby cries.
"Dude! Dude, there he is!" Jack pointed at Byron who was sat a few yards from us on a beam.
Jerry gasped in shock, he started to crawl towards him while Jack and I copied him, "Hey, baby Byron. Who doesn't want to get Jerry expelled? You don't. No, you don't. Stay right there."
"Who's a good boy? You're a good boy." Jack cooed but the beam that Byron was sitting on was lifted up in the air and out of our reach, "Hey, no!"
"Whoa!"
"Stop! Hey!"
"Whoa, wait!"
"You're not a good boy!" Jack screamed, "You're a very bad boy!"
"Ah, my baby! My baby!" Jerry shouted, looking up as the baby only was lifted higher and higher up the air. "Somebody save my baby!"
"Ok, Jerry don't panic." I said as before running towards the scaffolding and climbing it up with Jack close behind me.
...(• Ε •)
The climb just continued and I was pretty exhausted by now. I held onto the beam as I waited for Jack to reach my level, and when he did, I moved a bit to the side, letting go of the beam.
The sound of someone clearing their throat made me swirl around and if it wasn't for the fact that Jack wrapped his free arm around my waist. A few yards away stood Jerry, who was hugging a beam closely in order to not fall.
"How the heck did you get up here?" Jack asked.
"Took the elevator." Jerry deadpanned.
"There was an elevator!?"
"Look, you two gotta stop fooling around." Jerry scolded us, "Buckett will be back for Byron any minute."
"Jerry, we are not fooling around." I glared at him, "We just climbed all by..."
"Bella, Jack!" Jerry cut off Jack and pointed behind us, "There he is."
Behind us was Byron who was sitting on the beam. "I got this. Come here, Baby Byron. Come to Bella." I cooed at him, I walked over to down and he started to crawl away and he crawl off.
"No!" We all screamed, but sighed in relief when an another beam caught him and lifted it up higher.
"Let's go." Jack said as we climbed up to reach him.
...(• Ε •)
We continued to climb up until we finally caught up with Byron. "There he is." Jack said.
"Save him, Jack!" Jerry shouted and the next second, Jack jumped out and grabbed onto the beam, dangling in the air. But the beam started to tip with Bryon on it causing him to slide down. "Watch out, he's sliding!"
Jack was able to caught Bryon by his suspenders on his pants while holding onto the beam with his other hand, "Jerry, I'm losing my grip."
I looked over to Jerry, "Jerry! That hook next to you, take it and attach yourself to it, and get Bryon!" I shouted.
Jerry hooked himself to the chain on his pants and slid out in the air and take Bryon from Jack, allowing him to use both of hands. "Nice save, Jerry."
"I'm never having kids." Jerry cried while hugging Bryon tightly to himself, still dangling in the air.
"Yeah, that's was exhausting." I sighed in relief.
"Look! Here comes Principal Buckett." Jack shouted, looking down on the ground.
"I'll lower you down, hang on." I carefully made my way over to the remote that controlled the chain and started lowering Jerry down while Jack climbed back up on the beam construction. When Jerry reached the ground, we let of a sigh of relief.
"Now, we just have to get down." Jack said, looking down at the ground where Jerry was speaking to Buckett, "Any ideas?"
"Didn't Jerry say something about an elevator, let's use that."
...(• Ε •)
"That was fun." A boy said when all the parents came back to pick up their children, "Can we
come back tomorrow, mommy?"
All: No!
"Dojo day care is officially closed." Jack started, "Forever." I finished.
"Well... that's it. We're done." Jerry said tiredly, "All the kids have been picked up."
"Not quite. There's still one kid left." Eddie told us.
"Who?" I whined.
"Little Matty Edsall." Eddie read and all of us looked around the dojo.
"Matty?"
"Matty?"
"Where is she?"
All: Matty?
"Come on, Matty."
"Matty? Oh. There she is." Jerry said, "She's outside in the courtyard."
The sound of a baby crying, machinery creaking td us exactly what was happening again.
"Milton, Eddie?" Jack turned to the two boys, "This one's yours."
Eddie and Milton looked ready to cry as they ran out on the courtyard. "Take the elevator, guys! It would be helpful!" I shouted at them so they don't have to climb.
...
I looked over to Jack, "Hey, I forgot to tell you something?" Jack looked over to me, "What?"
I looked nervously at him, "I love you." While I was blushing of saying the special words to him. Jack also blushed and replied, "I love you too." I smiled at him, and he smiled back, Jack moved closer and we kissed and we separated, I giggled and hugged him, he hugged back.
"It was an interesting turn events." I said. "Yeah, it was."
