Babysitting Mission
Clover Lamoreaux, Samantha Simpson, and Alex Vasquez were sitting down in their living room on their pink semi-circular couch. Alex was playing Sonic Dash on her phone, Clover was reading a magazine, and Sam was on her computer typing up a story for her journalism class. The three of them would occasionally turn their attention to the TV, which was playing a re-run of The Rules of Engagement, but kept their focus mainly on their various activities…
…much to the delight of the person climbing the outside of their house with a smirk on his face.
"I'm finally going to get revenge on those girls for locking me up," the man whispered to himself. This was Boogie Gus, the self-proclaimed King of the 80s, who was wearing his usual bright yellow shirt, purple pants, and giant afro, was climbing up the spies' house while his back pocket contained a blue ray gun with a clock on it. After a few minutes of climbing, he found a window slightly ajar. Before he could enter, he heard what he thought was the sound of a cat being strangled.
"HEY CREEP! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" Mandy yelled from her window, looking directly at Boogie Gus.
"A little something called none of your damn business!" Boogie Gus yelled back.
"I'M CALLING THE COPS ON YOU, YOU CREEP!" Mandy screeched before she left her window.
"Yeah!? Why don't you tell them about your nuclear weapon of a voice!?" Boogie Gus yelled back before he climbed through the slightly open window. Boogie Gus snuck through the halls and peered over a corner and down the stairs, seeing that the girls were still distracted by their various activities. With an expectant smile on his face, Boogie Gus knocked a vase down onto the floor before he went back around the corner to hide, hearing the girl's voices.
"Did you guys hear that?"
"Must've been the wind. Clover, go check it out".
"What!? Why me!?"
"Because me and Alex checked out the last two weird noises. It's your turn".
"Ugh! Fine!" Clover complained as she got up from the couch and climbed up the stairs. "Oh crap! My Mom got me that vase! Now we're going to have to clean-" Clover complained before Boogie Gus blasted a laser from his blue ray gun. The laser hit Clover, and sent her down to the ground, with a blue outline surrounding her body, as she was unable to move. Alex and Sam, hearing the commotion, decided to go upstairs and see what happened. When they did, they saw Boogie Gus with an evil smile on his face.
"You! What did you do to Clover!?" Alex yelled, putting herself in a fighting stance, while Sam kept a lookout for Clover.
"Oh, I just made her the first test dummy for my new invention!" Boogie Gus explained, showing off his blue ray gun. "And thankfully, I just got two more test subjects!" Boogie Gus exclaimed before he started shooting at Sam and Alex. They both dodged while trying to look for Clover. Alex went into Clover's room and saw someone on top of Clover's bed.
"Oh…my…God! You are the most adorable thing I've ever seen!" Alex exclaimed, her excitement completely taking over her mind, as she grabbed the kid and gave her a hug. The child was in a light blue dress with blonde pigtails. As Alex was cooing and playing with the child, Sam ran into the room and grabbed Alex by the back of her shirt.
"ALEX! We're trying to fight a villain here, and we don't have time to be playing with a kid," Sam chastised before stopping herself and looking at the smiling, blonde-haired baby. "Uhhh…where did this kid come from?" Sam asked, as the child laughed and clapped her hands.
"I don't know. She was just laying down on Clover's bed, but isn't she the most adorable thing ever!?" Alex cooed again, grabbing the kid and shoving her in Sam's face. Sam looked at the child's blue eyes before the child began to speak.
"Salut, je suis Clover et j'ai quatre ans," the girl said, putting her hand out waiting for a handshake. Sam and Alex looked at the girl, before shaking her hand despite not understanding what she just said. While they were talking to her, Boogie Gus snuck up from behind them and blasted Alex in the back.
"Oh my God! Alex!" Sam shouted before she went after Gus with several punches to the stomach. Sam pushes Gus to the wall before taking the gun from his hand and throwing it into another room. Gus tried to grab Sam in a headlock, but Sam bit his wrist, and hip tossed him off of her.
"You aren't going to beat me this time, you damn redhead!" Gus yelled, before running at Sam, who countered by grabbing his afro and throwing him out the same window that he came in. "AAAAUUUUGHHHH!" Gus screamed before he landed face-first on the grass. Miraculously not getting injured, Boogie Gus got up and glared back at the girl's house.
"You may have won this round, Redhead, but you better believe that I'm gonna come back and-" Gus started to vent before he felt a hand on his wrist. When he turned around, he saw a police officer was the one who grabbed his wrist with Mandy standing behind him with her hands on her hips.
"That's the man who broke into my neighbor's house officer!" Mandy yelled, pointing at a shocked Boogie Gus.
"Sir, do you have any explanation as to why you were at this home?" the officer asked.
"Uh…well…you see…this is all just a big misunderstanding…," Gus stammered before reaching into his pocket and throwing a pile of glitter into the officer's eye. With the officer momentarily blinded, Gus ran away to his car, went inside the car, and drove away. Mandy started yelling at the officer to chase him, but the officer was still rubbing the glitter out of his eyes.
Meanwhile, Sam went back to Clover's room, where she saw another child in there along with the blonde girl. The other girl was a dark-skinned girl with Alex's haircut and a pair of dark jean overalls over a white and yellow striped shirt. The girl also looked at Sam with tears in her eyes, and before Sam could say anything, she started crying. The blonde-haired girl looked at the crying girl, and then at Sam.
"Que se passe-t-il?" the blonde girl asked. Sam, looking back between the two girls and then flashing back to the weapon that Gus had in his hands.
"Alex? Clover?" Sam asked the kids. The brown-skinned girl, still whining, looked back up at Sam.
"How…how…do you know my name!?" Alex asked in between sobs. Sam looked at both the girls in shock, before taking out her Compowder and pressing the SOS button. Sam picked up both the girls and held them as tight as she could before a hole opened underneath her and sent her to WOOHP. Sam landed on the couch, holding Clover and Alex in her arms completely unharmed as Jerry turned his office chair to look at her.
"Why hello Sam, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Jerry asked with a smile on his face, which disappeared the minute he saw the child versions of Clover and Alex. Alex was still crying with her hands covering her eyes, while Clover was looking around Jerry's office with stars in her eyes. "Oh my, what happened here?"
"Boogie Gus broke into our house and blasted Clover and Alex with this ray gun, and the next thing you know, they turn into kids," Sam explained, pointing to Alex and Clover. Jerry put a couple of fingers underneath his chin, before going to his computer.
"Well I'm going to need the device itself before I can start working on a solution," Jerry explained.
"But…what am I supposed to do while you work on this?" Sam asked.
"Well…you're going to have to take care of Alex and Clover as if they were your own children," Jerry responded before Clover and Alex turned their attention back to Sam.
"Babysitter?" Alex asked meekly, with her thumb in her mouth.
"Tu veux jouer avec moi?" Clover asked. Jerry snapped his fingers before reaching into his drawer and bringing out a metallic collar.
"While I can't help with the solution to this age issue, I can make taking care of Clover a little easier. This collar will translate everything Clover says into English, so you can understand her," Jerry explained, putting the collar on Clover. Clover started at Jerry before waving at him.
"Hi! I'm Clover, and I'm four years old!" Clover practically yelled in English, holding her hand out for a handshake, which Jerry happily returned. Sam sighed with relief, knowing that she would have a slight advantage in taking care of the two children.
"Now Sam, I want you to send me the weapon so that I can analyze it. If you need any help taking care of Alex and Clover don't hesitate to ask," Jerry said with a smile. Sam looked back at Jerry while picking up Alex and Clover with a smile of her own.
"Thanks, Jerry," Sam said before Jerry pressed a button, sending Sam and the kids back to Clover's room. Sam put Clover and Alex on Clover's bed, before rubbing her temples as if she were having a terrible headache.
'Jesus…how am I going to do this?' Sam asked herself, her mind going a million miles a minute, thinking of all the terrible things that could happen because of her inexperience as a babysitter, let alone a mother.
