Okay everyone...um, everyone who's left :P ...ready to once again try to find out what's going on here? ;) >:)
Davy: Yes, definitely! :P
Peter: I'M SCARED! I DON'T LIKE THIS! I DON'T WANT ALEX TO HURT VALERIE! :((
Mike: What the HELL is going on? :p
*We begin at the Montgomery House. There's a dark blue light just inside the front door, and Davy appears.*
Davy: Mike!
Mike: (ambling downstairs in his paisley pajamas, rubbing his eyes) Huh? Davy?
Davy: *runs over to the stairs* They got 'im! 'E was right behind me!
Mike: (Yawning) They who?
Davy: Alex and all of them! Me and Mick ran into them while taking a walk. Mick WAS right behind me!
Mike: Slow down, Davy. What "all of them?"
Davy: Alex, Lauren, Daphne, and a 'ole bunch of ugly demons! :P
Mike: Lauren and Daphne? And who did they grab, Mick?
Davy: *rolls his eyes* YES! :P
Mike: Great, just great. Are Lauren and Daphne ok?
Davy: OH, about as fine as an evil mistress and a human PET can be. :P ;)
Mike: Oh, shit. What did Alex DO to them? (Makes a face) Other than what Mick saw last night. :p
Davy: I don't know what else, mate, but he's got a STRONG hold on them.
Mike: (Frowns) Human pet?
Davy: *makes a face; sighs* We ran into Lauren and Daph first. Daph was wearin' a leash and collar, and they were treatin’ ‘er like a slave. X-( :P
Mike: Oh, man. (Runs a hand through his hair) We've gotta go to the Cartwright Mansion and make some kind of strategy with Pete and Valerie.
Davy: *nods* And fast. :P
Mike: (Frowns) Hey, Dave...how did proposing to Daph go last night?
Davy: Uhh...it, uhhh...didn't. I chickened out. :P :(
Mike: Davy, you love the girl, don't you?
Davy: Yes.
Mike: You've just gotta find the right time. (Sighs) I'm probably not the best person to be discussing proposing marriage. I didn't propose to Phyllis at all, and Em had to yell at me to get on my knees and propose to her like she wanted to be. (Grins) Maybe you just need to be yelled at. ;)
Davy: *slight grin* Maybe. *sighs* I don't know. I'm just...scared.
Mike: She ain't gonna bite you, boy. (Grins) Hard. (Shakes his head) Don't you wanna snap her up before some other guy does? (Makes a face when he remembers where Daphne currently is) Bad choice of words, Dave. Sorry. :p
Davy: Funny, Mike. *small smirk* Maybe this is the kick in the arse I need. ;)
Mike: Dave, when Daphne is herself, she'll probably give you that kick on her own. ;) (Nods at the stairs) Come on. We've gotta get our stuff and blue-light out. I don't think we're safe here anymore, even with the security system.
Davy: *nods* Let’s go. *follows Mike up the stairs*
(Fade out on Mike and Davy going up the stairs; fade in on a small, gray laboratory with a lone, bright light shining over a table with iron shackles. The only other light comes from bunsen burners. Chemistry sets bubble and flow on tables and cabinets around the room. Alex, Daphne, Lauren, and the bound Micky appear in the room in a flash of black and dark-blue light.)
Alex: Ahhh, one of the smaller test labs. (Wicked grin) Perfect. >:) ;)
Lauren: *nods* Very nice. >:)
Daphne: What are we going to do with the Savage?
Alex: Ladies, get him on the table.
*Micky whimpers.* :-O
Lauren: Gladly. >:) *holds one arm*
(Daphne takes his other arm, and the two women move him onto the table.) >:)
Lauren: Shall we use the shackles? ;) >:)
Daphne: Whatever you want, Mother and Master.
Alex: (Grins) Lock him up, ladies. ;)
(The ladies do so, untying the black scarves from all but his eyes and putting them aside and binding his wrist, ankles, and torso with shackles and leather straps.)
Alex: Now then, Savage, we brought you here for a reason.
Micky: *gulps* Which is? :-O
Alex: We thought you might like to join our merry band again. ;)
Micky: *shakes his head* No way! :P
Alex: Lauren, Daphne, why don't you girls...persuade him? ;)
Lauren: *drags a fingernail along his arm* Are you SURE you don't want to join us? >:)
Daphne: (Strokes his curls) How will we make him listen, Mother?
Micky: *turns his head in the direction of Lauren's voice* Babe, please don't... :P :(
(Alex leans against the side of a counter, watching the show. ;) )
Lauren: I do so want to enjoy myself with him later, so nothing terribly harmful. ;) *thinks* Let’s see. *stops dragging her fingernail and lifts her hand in front of her face; she has decently long nails* Yes... ;) >:)
Daphne: What are you going to do to him, Mother?
Lauren: Follow my lead, my pet. ;)
Daphne: Yes, Mother.
*Lauren starts dragging her fingernails over his arm again, hard enough to make pink lines on his skin.*
(Daphne does the same to the other side.)
Micky: *makes two fists* Hey, you're gonna draw blood if you do that any harder! *groans* Oh, me and my big mouth. :P
Alex: Well, agree to join us, then.
Micky: No! I won't do it!
Lauren: *presses down harder* You really shouldn't give me ideas like that. ;) >:)
*This time, Lauren and Daphne do draw a little bit of blood. Micky still shakes his head.*
Micky: No, I'm not joining you!
Daphne: He is being stubborn, Mother. What should we do?
Lauren: *frowns* I was hoping he'd be more willing than this. Hmm...
Alex: He's been hanging around that damn White Knight for too long. :p
Lauren: Perhaps this, then. *runs a hand through his curls, leans over to kiss him* >:)
*Micky tries to turn his head away.* :P
(Daphne takes a hard hold of his curls.)
Daphne: No, Savage. Obey her.
Lauren: Thank you, my pet. *tries again, kissing him more forcefully*
*Micky still tries to move his head.* :P
Lauren: *straightens, a frustrated look on her face* Stop it! :P
(Daphne takes hold of both sides of his head.)
Micky: No! *tilts his head up to address Daphne* Watch the hair! :P ;)
Lauren: This is tougher than I thought. :P
Daphne: (Goes back to stroking his curls) Relax, Savage. Listen to the Mother.
Micky: I don't want to listen! *frowns* :P
Daphne: (Whispers in his ear) Yes, you do, Savage. You will listen, and you will obey.
Micky: *voice is starting to crack* NO! I'm not gonna listen! I'm not, I'm not!
Alex: I think he's had enough for now. Why don't we just let him alone to think for a while? Maybe he'll come around. ;)
Lauren: *clearly unhappy* Fine. :P *glances at Daphne* Perhaps I can have a different sort of fun. ;)
Daphne: (Stops stroking Micky; looks at Lauren) Yes, Mother?
Lauren: I'm bored. I need something to do, my pet, and you're going to help. Follow me. *smirks and heads for the door, taking Daphne’s leash*
Daphne: (Nods) Yes, Mother. (She follows her)
Alex: (Smirks at Micky) Have a pleasant morning, Savage. ;) (Turns off the light and walks out the door, leaving Micky strapped to the table in the dark room)
Micky: *rolls his head to one side* If we survive through this, I'm swearing off comic books. :P ;) :( *sighs*
*We fade out on Micky and fade in on Lauren and Daphne walking down a hallway.*
(Alex goes in the other direction, straightening his jacket and grinning. ;) )
(Shelia comes up to the two women. She's covered in oatmeal and bananas; her pants are smeared with lipstick. She looks like she's ready to spit fire. ;) X( )
Lauren: What happened to you!?
Shelia: GOD DAMN IT, I'M NOT A BLOODY BABYSTITTAH! GO HANDLE YOUR BRATS! X(
Daphne: Milady, you're a mess!
Shelia: No shit. :p
Lauren: *folds her arms* I don't know, I think you're handling them rather well. ;) >:)
Shelia: They're not MY kids. They're YOURS, and I want YOU to handle them. I don't know anything about children...other than how to corrupt them. :p
Lauren: Alright, fine! Take me to them. *grins at Daphne, then turns back to Shelia* I'll have my pet help me. ;) >:)
Daphne: Yes, Mother. I'll help you with the children.
Shelia: Good, Lauren. (Makes a face at herself) I'm going to take a shower and change clothes. The children are in the room at the end of the hallway. :p (Heads down the other way)
Lauren: Come along, my pet. She's obviously exaggerating. The kids are not that bad. You just have to know how to handle them. ;) >:)
Daphne: (Nods) They're only young children. (Lauren takes her leash and pulls her down the hallway)
*Lauren opens the door to the room and has to practically shove on the door to get it to open. She finally does, and they step into a huge mess.*
Lauren: *glances slowly around the room* Maybe Shelia wasn't exaggerating. :P
Daphne: (Eyes widen in surprise) Oh, my... :o
*The room is indeed a total mess. There's clothes all over the floor. The bed is a complete shambles. There's crayon all over the wardrobe, floor, and walls. Empty lipstick holders are scattered over the floor. Finger paint containers have been emptied all over the place, and there's other messes than can’t be identified.* ;)
Daphne: No wonder Milady was so upset. :p
Lauren: *throws some clothes aside; eyes widen slightly* Where ARE the kids?
Daphne: I don't know, Mother. They must have run away.
Lauren: *angry* Well, LOOK for them! X-(
(Daphne also starts throwing clothes, crayons, and makeup around, searching for the kids. She puts glue, paper, pens, and scissors on the table and moves a mound of skirts that have slashed holes in them.)
Lauren: *sighs frustratedly* Enough! Never mind, my pet. I have a better idea. I'm sure they'll show up on their own. (Nasty smirk at Daphne) I want to have some fun, and you’re going to help. ;) >:)
Daphne: (Looks up - she was looking under the table) How, Mother?
(Daphne goes to put the scissors and other things away, but Lauren takes the scissors from her.)
Lauren: *smirks at the scissors* You'll see. ;) >:)
*Lauren takes Daphne’s leash and leads her out of the room and down the hall. After a few quiet moments, the twins emerge from the closet, under a pile of clothes.*
"Shelly: Good idea, Micky! We hid from the Bad Lady! :D"
"Mick: Yeah! (Frowns) You know, I coulda sworn I heard Mommy's voice. :-/"
"Shelly: And Aunt Daphne, too! (frowns) Aunt Daphne didn't sound right. Mommy didn't, either. :p"
"Mick: Neither of them sounded right. I wonder if Mommy’s still sick? :P"
"Shelly: Mommy probably still has that nasty cold. Maybe she gave it to Aunt Daphne."
"Mick: *nods* Yeah, maybe that's it!"
"Shelly: (Looks around) Let's go find Strawberry, before the Bady Lady comes back. I don't think she was happy in that cage. :p :("
"Mick: I don't think she was, either. She was much happier with us! :D"
"Shelly: Do you think we could make the blue light take us to the room with all the animals again?"
"Mick: *grins* We did it before! Let’s try again!"
"Shelly: Ok!
(The kids close their eyes and concentrate. There's a blue light. They reappear completely in the dark.)
"Shelly: Hey, where are we?"
"Mick: I don't know. I can't see! :P"
"Shelly: Someone turned on the dark! :p"
Micky: *rolls his head to one side* Is someone there?
Shelly: (Speaks) Hello?
"Shelly: Micky, that sounds like Daddy! :D"
Shelly: Daddy?
"Mick: Yeah, it does! :D"
Mick: *speaks* Daddy?
Micky: Shelly? Mick? *audible grin* Yeah, it's Daddy!
"Mick: It IS Daddy! :D"
Shelly: Daddy! You here?
Micky: Shelly, I'm here, Mick! I'm...uh, in here, somewhere. :P ;)
Shelly: Daddy, we here! :D
Mick: We here, Daddy! :D
Shelly: Daddy ok?
Micky: *a little shaky, but trying to not sound like it* Yeah, I'm okay. ;) :P
"Mick: We need to turn off the dark in here! :P"
"Shelly: Maybe we could make the light turn on! We can't reach the switch! :p"
"Mick: Let’s try to think it on! :D"
(The kids close their eyes and concentrate hard. After a few minutes, the lone light finally switches on.)
"Shelly: Yeah! We did it!"
"Mick: Yay us! :D"
Shelly: We turn on light, Daddy! :D
Micky: *still can't see* You did? That's great!
"Mick: *points toward the table that Micky's on* Shel, look! Daddy's over there!"
"Shelly: We've gotta get up there! Daddy doesn't look so good. :("
"Mick: No, he doesn't! Let’s help him! :("
"Shelly: How are we going to get up there?"
"Mick: We haven't tried mountain climbing in a while. ;) :D"
"Shelly: Oooh! Like climbing the play equipment at home! :D"
"Mick: Exactly! Come on, Shel! *starts for the table and begins to climb* "
"Shelly: Wait up, Mick!" (Joins him climbing the table. It takes some time, but they finaly get to the top.)
"Shelly: I'm the queen of the mountain! :D"
"Mick: And I'm king! :D"
Shelly: Me queen! :D
Mick: Me king! :D
Micky: *chuckles* Okay, you two rugrats, please help Daddy, now that you're king and queen. ;)
"Shelly: (Grins) And as our first official act as queen and king, we will help the royal Daddy get away from the Bad King and the Bad Queen. :D"
"Mick: Yeah! :D"
Shelly: (Hugs Micky) Daddy! We help! :D
Micky: *laughs* Yeah, you're helping, alright. :D
(Shelly and Micky tug the blindfold off.)
Shelly: Peek-a-boo! ;) :D
Mick: We see you! :D
Micky: *blinks against the light* I am so happy to see you two! :D
(The twins give their daddy big kisses. :) :D)
Micky: *sniffs happily* Thank you! :D
Shelly: We love you, Daddy! :)
Mick: Love you, Daddy! :D
Shelly: You Daddy. Bad Man not Daddy. :p
Mick: Bad man! *sticks his tongue out* :P
Micky: *grins* Those are my thoughts exactly, Little Mick. *pauses, realizes* Wait. How did you two end up in here?
Shelly: Blue light! :D
Mick: Yeah, blue light! :D
Micky: I don't believe it. *grins again* Hey, how would you two like to practice your blue light again and see if you can get me loose?
Mick: Sure, Daddy! :)
Shelly: Blue light fun! :D
(The twins close their eyes and concentrate again. The blue light surrounds Micky. When it subsides, all the shackles are hanging off the celing, and Micky is free. ;) )
Shelly: (Looks up) Um...ooops. :">
Micky: *looks up at the ceiling* Good job. *laughs* :)
Mick: *points* Art! :D ;)
Micky: *sits up and hugs the twins* You two have NO idea how happy I am to see you! :D
Shelly: We missed you, Daddy! :D :X
Mick: Missed you lots! :D
Micky: I missed you, too. :) :D Come on, let’s get out of this room. :P
Shelly: Find Strawberry!
Mick: Yeah, Strawberry!
Micky: Who's Strawberry?
Mick: Puppy! :)
Shelly: Red puppy! (Frowns) Bad man put in cage. :( :p
Micky: He did, did he? *eyes narrow slightly* Let’s go look for Strawberry, then.
Shelly: Pretty puppy! (Grins) She like Micky. ;)
Mick: *nods* She really like me! :D
Micky: *chuckles* Then we'll definitely find Strawberry. ;)
(The three exit the room, Micky still a tad shaky.)
Micky: *as they start down the hall* Okay, you two, it seems that you kinda know how to get around here. Any ideas on where your friend Strawberry might be?
Shelly: (Looks around) Strawberry not here! :p
Mick: *nods* With other aminals!
Micky: *grins* That was helpful. Alright. Well, *kneels down to them* why don't we all concentrate on animals, then, and see if that takes us to the lab, okay? :)
Shelly: (Nods) Ok! :D
Mick: Okay! *nods* :D
*The three concentrate. A blue light takes them from the hall and leaves them in a bedroom...a rather familiar bedroom to Micky.*
Micky: *still kneeling, makes a face* Oh, boy... :P
Shelly: No aminals! No Strawberry! :( :p
Mick: Want Strawberry! :(
Micky: *glimpses that the bed in the room is occupied* Oh, sh... *chews his lip, remembering the kids are present* :P
Shelly: (Points at occupied bed) Sleep! :)
*All we see on the bed is the sheet, and "something" moving under it, along with certain...noises.* ;) >:)
Micky: *quietly* Not quite, Shelly.
Mick: No sleep? :-/
Micky: No. (Sighs) I think we made a wrong turn in Albuquerque. :P ;)
Shelly: Bugs! :D
Mick: Bed bugs! :D
Micky: *groans* Shhh! *watches the "something" move around on the bed* :P
Shelly: No buggies?
Micky: No, not exactly. *quietly, more to himself than the kids* I don't understand. We must've ended up here for a reason. My light isn't usually so far off...
*The sheet starts to move, until Alex sits up, the sheet appropriately covering the right places. We also see who he was sharing the bed with...Leslie Evans.*
Alex: *looks at Micky and the kids* I THOUGHT I heard something! :P X-(
Leslie: (Also sits up, appropriately covered) Oooohhh... :D
Alex: *gives Leslie a side glance* Can it for a minute, babe. :P
Shelly: Bad man! (Sticks her tongue out at Alex) You not Daddy! :p
Mick: Bad! :P
Micky: *to the kids* That's right! He's a VERY bad man! :P X-(
Alex: *smirks* I wouldn't say "bad"... ;) >:)
Shelly: You BAD man! You hurt Daddy! :p :(
Mick: Bad man hurt Daddy! Don't like you! :P
Leslie: (Slurred) Who're they? (Squints) Cute kids. (Eyes widen at Micky) Hey, he looks like you!
Alex: *side glance to Leslie* Yeah, cute. *pauses* So what if he does look like me? It ain't my fault! :P ;)
Micky: *rolls his eyes* Thanks for the compliment. :P
Leslie: What's goin' on?
Alex: What're you doing in here, anyway? Can't you see I'm... *smirks* busy? ;) >:)
Micky: I was TRYING to help my kids find a puppy. *quirks an eyebrow*
Shelly: Want Strawberry!
Mick: Yeah, Strawberry!
Leslie: They want fruit?
Alex: *ignores Leslie's comment* Straw... *pauses* Oh, yeah, I remember her. *glances at Leslie* ;)
Micky: *eyes widen at the realization; to himself* Should've known. :P
Leslie: You've got a puppy named Strawberry?
Shelly: She OUR puppy!
Mick: She really likes me! :D
Micky: Umm, I think maybe it's time we got outta here.
Leslie: Alex, what's goin' on?
Alex: Not so fast! *to Leslie* It doesn't concern you, so why don't you take a cat nap? *a black light envelopes Leslie, turning her into a pale golden kitten again* >:)
Micky: I knew it. :P
Mick: Kitty! Where lady?
(Leslie meows and turns over on her back, smiling this time. Alex rubs her stomach, and she purrs.)
Shelly: Lady go bye bye! :o
Alex: *smirks* She did go bye-bye, and the lot of you may just go bye-bye, too! X-( >:)
Mick: No bye-bye! :P
Shelly: Want Strawberry! :(
Mick: Yeah, Strawberry! :(
Micky: No way, Alex! You've had enough fun! *begins to concentrate*
Alex: NO! *gets up, pulling the sheet with him, trying to wrap it around*
*The blue light envelopes Micky and the twins, and they disappear just as Alex trips over the tail of the sheet and crashes face-down on the floor.*
Alex: *taps his fingers on the floor, making a face* Damn. :P
*We fade out on Alex trying to get up and fade in on the living room of the Cartwright Mansion. A blue light begins to grow until it fades, leaving Micky, who's still kneeling, and the twins.*
Micky: *sighs* Thank God! *whew!*
(Valerie, Peter, and Chrissy are playing Parcheesi. All three get up at once, Valerie more slowly.)
Chrissy: Hi guys! Hi, kids! (Hugs Micky and the twins; Peter does the same)
Peter: I'm so glad you're ok! Davy's in the garden brooding, and Mike's feeding Katie.
Micky: Maybe I oughta go share the partial good news with them, huh? ;)
Peter: What good news?
Micky: *rolls his eyes* I found the twins and escaped in one piece! ;)
Chrissy: Valerie told me someone took them!
Peter: Thank god you're all ok!
Valerie: (Looks at the twins) Are you kids ok?
Mick: We okay! :D
Shelly: Me ok. (Frowns) Strawberry NOT ok. :(
Mick: *shakes his head* No, Strawberry not okay! Miss Strawberry. :(
Chrissy: Strawberry?
Peter: Fruit?
Shelly: Nice puppy! :D
Chrissy: A strawberry puppy?
Micky: Uhh, long story, but I think I know what they mean.
Mick: Puppy really like me! :D
Peter: Chrissy, why don't you take the kids to the nursery? They could probably use something to eat and someone nice to play with after all the excitement. :)
Chrissy: Aw! Why do I have to miss everything? :p
Mick: Hungry! :D ;)
Valerie: Chrissy, you DO have an important job to do. The twins just went through a very nasty experience, and you and Matilda can get them lunch and make them feel better. :)
Chrissy: You want me to babysit?
Peter: (Shakes his head) Not just babysit. We want you to take extra-special care of them. Call us if someone shows up and tries to take them away.
Micky: Please? :)
Chrissy: (Looks at the twins) Well...ok! I've babysat them before. They ARE fun to play with. (To the twins) Do you guys want to go to the kitchen and ask Sophie to make us peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches? :)
Mick: Yeah! :D
Shelly: Yummy! :)
Chrissy: Ok! Come on. We'll go say hi to Albert and all of his sons in the garden, too. Maybe Albert will teach us some golfing tricks. I'll bet he's practicing for that game with all his buddies tomorrow. ;) (Takes the twins’ hands and walks out with them)
Peter: (Smiles) She's a good kid. She'll make a nice teacher someday. :)
Valerie: Micky, are the kids ok?
Peter: And, more to the point, are YOU ok?
Micky: *nods* Yeah, they're fine. More than likely better than I am, but I'm... *considers, scratching the back of his head* I'm not really sure how I am. :P
Peter: (Puts his hand on Peter's shoulder) Micky, you're confused...(frowns) and something else.
Micky: Yeah... :P :(
Valerie: Micky, what happened? Where's Daphne and Lauren? Mike told us some of it, but Davy went off in the gardens the moment he arrived. :p :(
Micky: Dave and I went for a walk in the Montgomery House’s gardens, and we ran into Lauren and Daphne. Then Alex and some of his demons showed up. Obviously, Dave got away. He tried to help me blue light out of there, but Lauren broke it. She and Daphne tied me up with black scarves and took me to wherever their hideout is. They kept trying to get me to join them. Alex just stood back and let Lauren... *closes his eyes* Lauren was making Daphne help her...talk...me into joining them. *opens his eyes* It wasn't really torture, but it felt like it. They got tired of me because I was being too stubborn and left me in the dark. The twins found me and got me loose, and we found Alex again.*makes a face* You know, I'm seeing waaaay too much of him. *makes a face* :P
Peter: Lauren and Daphne are still at the hideout?
Micky: *nods* Unfortunately. :P
Valerie: Micky, Mike told us that you guys think their hideout is in the desert or under a building...somewhere underground that needs to be reinforced.
Micky: *nods* Yeah, it's definitely underground and huge. It makes perfect sense that it's in the desert. WHERE in the desert is another story.
Peter: (Frowns) There's a lot of desert. :p :(
Micky: No kidding. :P
(Mike comes in at the moment with Katie on his arm. She looks at the group expectantly.)
Mike: Hi, guys. We ran into Chris and the twins on the way to the livin' room. (Smiles faintly) I'm glad they and you are ok.
Micky: *small smile* Thanks, Mike.
Mike: They didn't do anythin' physical to you, did they?
Valerie: Or more physical than kissing. :p
Micky: Uhhh, not really. *sneaks a peek at his arms--no lines* ;) :P
Mike: Did you see Em there?
Micky: *shakes his head* Sorry, Mike. :(
(Mike lowers his head sadly and hugs Katie close to him; she squeaks. :( )
Peter: Don't worry, Mike. We'll find Em, and Daphne and Lauren, too.
Micky: *sighs* Right now, FINDING them is the easy part. :P :(
Valerie: It's staying away from their powers and fixing whatever Alex did to them that's hard. :p
Micky: Exactly. :P
Mike: Hey, speakin' of Alex, you didn't hear them mention Leslie Evans while you were there, did you?
Micky: *blushes slightly* Uhh, yeah, actually, we saw her. More of her than we should've. :P
Peter: You did?
Valerie: Then Emma was right. Leslie Evans DID disappear. It's all over the news now.
Micky: Yeah, she disappeared, alright *sneers,* and reappeared in Alex's bed. :P
Mike: Figures he'd go for the hot new chick on the block. :p
Micky: Or every one he can get his hands on. At least now I know how to hurt him the most. :P ;)
Peter: Mick, what do you mean?
Micky: Is there anyway I could put this delicately? ;) :P
Mike: Don't put it delicately, then. Katie don't understand what's goin' on.
Micky: Hit him right where it hurts. He can't have all his fun if a particular BODY PART don't work anymore. :P
Mike: He's been seducin' chicks, ain't he?
Peter: (Blushes hard) Oh, god... :">
Valerie: Oh, dear... :p
Micky: Oh, you betcha. X-(
Mike: We've got to find him and the girls, and fast, before he does somethin' ELSE to them and Leslie.
Micky: Definitely. *nods*
Valerie: Let's go see the kids first and talk to Davy. Micky, I'm sure you want to spend some time with the twins.
Micky: *nods, smiles* Yeah. :)
Mike: Maybe we ought to do some research of our on on Leslie Evans' disappearance, too. I'll bet she's not the only one Alex has "seduced." :p
Micky: Waitaminute. The twins kept mentioning a puppy named Strawberry. I'm willing to bet the puppy isn't a puppy. :P
Mike: (Nods) I'll bet "Strawberry" used to be a woman who was seduced by Alex, like Leslie Evans.
Peter: How did the twins find her?
Micky: I'm not really sure. *grins* They found me by blue lighting! That's probably how they found her, too.
Mike: (Raises an eyebrow) Blue-lightin'...
Peter: (Beams) They can use their powers now! :D
Valerie: Good for them. :)
Micky: *nods* Yeah. Their aim is still a little off, but... :D
Mike: Hey, they found you. They're damn heroes right now. ;) :D
Micky: *smiles proudly* Yeah, they are. :)
Peter: You know what, I think this calls for a small celebration. Why don't we treat the kids to ice cream later? I doubt Alex and Shelia would try for us in a crowded soda shop. :)
Mike: (Nuzzles Katie as she pulls at his tie) Yeah, that sounds good. I could go for some Rocky Road, and Katie's a vanilla fan. ;) :)
Micky: I want some of every flavor. ;) :D
Valerie: You DESERVE some of every flavor, Mick. You AND the twins! (Grins) I think I'll join you. I want chocolate. ;)
Peter: That's all she ever wants to eat these days! She eats chocolate on everything!
Micky: What's wrong with that? ;)
Valerie: At least it's something you can get quickly at 3 AM. ;)
Peter: Let's go find Davy first and ask him if he wants to come along.
Mike: Yeah. We've gotta talk to him, anyway. This whole business with him and Daphne and the proposin' has really gotten him down.
Micky: We'll cheer him up. Well, at least a little. :)
Mike: As much as we can. (Sighs and extracts his tie from his daughter, who squawks) You're as bad as your mother. :p
*Micky snickers.* ;)
Peter: I'll bet the twins have devoured their sandwiches by now. We'll play a game with them and Chrissy, then get Davy and go for ice cream. :)
Mike: Sounds like a good plan to me.
Valerie: Me too.
Micky: Ditto that. :)
Mike: Come on, guys. (They head out the door as the camera fades out)
