This is just a cute little oneshot about one of my OCs, Dinah, and her dad, Dr. Bara. If you don't know who that is he's only in like 2 episodes so I get it.

Read and enjoy!

Somewhere, Australia

I wake up at 4:00 this morning. Nothing will put me back to sleep- not even my stuffed wallaby, Ted. So I drag Ted by his tail down the hall to my dad's room. If I'm not asleep, nobody is. That's been a Bara family rule since I was a baby.

'Course, Daddy hasn't exactly been around for much of that. My parents divorced when I was five. Then he disappeared for seven years. Now he's shown back up, and invited me to live with him. It's been okay so far, except for the parts where I have to act like I'm actually interested in something one of those boring Secret Scientist guys is saying. That's my dad- Dr. David Bara: paraneurologist, Secret Scientist, part-time parent. *sigh*

I throw open his door. "Good morning, Daddy!" I yell. He just rolls over and grunts at me. He's forgot the Rule.

I launch myself onto the bed. I knock the air out of Daddy and he makes a noise like "Oof!" Then he shoves me off him and says, "Oi! Dinah, what time- 4 AM! Good grief..."

I hit him with my wallaby. Ted can be a good weapon when I want him to.

Daddy tells me to go back to bed. I tell him I can't. I don't know why- I just can't. Maybe I'm nervous. Today's a boring Secret Scientist meeting. I have to meet all of them at once and trynot to fall asleep when they start bringing out the robots and the chemical things. How I act today reflects back on Daddy. This is going to be the most boring day of my 12-year-old life.

He's fallen back asleep. Oh well- Ted and I didn't need company that bad. I curl up next to my daddy and stare out the window next to his bed. The Australian full moon winks back at me: once, twice, three...

I yawn and fall asleep.
