Scarlet sat on the floor; placing blocks one on top of the other. She then looked at them and pushed them down. She starts to giggle; Biff walks into the room with a book in hand.
Biff: You ready for me to read to you Scarlet?
Scarlet looks at Biff and points, she starts to giggle. Biff sits down next to her with his tail making a quiet thump on the floor. He opens up the book and shows Scarlet the picture, Scarlet points to Biff.
Scarlet: Ba – iff.
Biff’s ears twitch, Scarlet points to the fox on the book’s page.
Scarlet: Baiff.
Biff: You said my name…
Biff picks up Scarlet and cuddles her, she giggles. Later Biff turns off the water in the tub to where it’s only three inches of water. He sets Scarlet down in the water with a rubber ducky. She picks up the duck and throws it; making water splash. She starts to laugh.
Biff: Silly… time to get your bath.
After bath time; Biff lies Scarlet in her crib and tucks her in. The phone rings and he yawns.
Biff: I’m coming.
Biff answers the phone.
Biff: Hello? Oh, hey Max. Me? I just gave Scarlet a bath and we’re both about to go to sleep. This weekend? Yeah, I’m sure we can get Ivan to watch her and go. Hehe, well maybe Alice then if he’s still mad about her puking on his shirt. Uh-huh, good night Max. Yeah, sounds great. Bye Max.
Biff hangs up the phone and falls back on to his bed, yawning.
Biff: Ever since you came in I haven’t had time for my sex life… but I’m not complaining. Heh-heh, with Max waiting this long I know it’s going to be fun.
The next morning Biff is talking on the phone while Scarlet plays with her blocks. Biff’s tail sways back and forth.
Biff: I know I haven’t been out too much but everyone rather come over here. Well duh; nice furniture, fine wines, an adorable baby? What else does a place need? Hm? How is Chris? She said she hasn’t had much fatigue lately yet she’s still afraid of harming someone… and still under that crying spell but apparently she’s getting better… Kendra is supposed to go down to visit Minna so she’ll bring back Chris. What? Well even if her depression isn’t cured I’ll just have to take care of her and Scarlet. No, Chris would never harm Scarlet. She’s afraid of hurting people by what she says and does but never any physical harm. Well obviously with me around there’d be no neglect with Scarlet. Yeah, well moving on – I’m going out with Max this weekend so maybe you and Alice can watch her. Heh-heh, the little man jealous of you?
While Biff continues to talk, Scarlet stares at his swishing tail. Close enough for her to grab, Scarlet takes Biff’s bushy tail and bites down on it. Biff howls, dropping the phone.
Biff: What the –
Biff snatches up his tail and sees the bite mark; he looks at Scarlet.
Biff: Teething…
Biff picks up the phone.
Biff: Don’t worry about it; I got to go.
Biff hangs up and sighs, Scarlet holds her block. Biff picks her up.
Biff: You’re probably hungry, time to eat.
Later, Saikoro comes over and Biff pours him a cup of tea. Scarlet sits in her high chair eating a sliced banana.
Saikoro: Teething, eh? I say use some old magic to cure that.
Biff: Hm?
Saikoro: I’ll write down the shop and you can talk to the clerk all about it. You’ll realize it’s much better.
Biff: Mhmm, and Saikoro I must ask – why are you still in Camdene?
Saikoro: Hey, I go places… Camdene is just nice.
Biff: Sure and it wouldn’t happen to do anything with a single mom…
Saikoro: Alice is a very good friend.
Scarlet: Ju…
Saikoro: Hm?
Biff: She wants juice.
Biff takes out a sippy cup from his cabinet and a container of apple juice from the fridge. He pours it and hands it to Scarlet.
Scarlet: Baiff!
Saikoro: She can say your name?
Biff: Mhmm, heh-heh kind of like a sheep though.
Saikoro: She really is a cute kid… I got to ask though, how have you managed this long without letting anyone know she’s Ivan’s kid?
Biff: Easy, don’t think about it. Same with sex and not being able to have as much fun as I used too – if I just focus what’s important, Scarlet, then everything is great.
Saikoro: So how does her hat manage to stay on her head?
Biff: She seems to like hats for whatever reason.
In Biff’s car; Scarlet sits in the back of the car sucking on a teething ring. Max sits also in the back making silly faces at Scarlet. Biff is driving while Ivan sits in the passenger seat reading a map.
Ivan: Where the hell are we going?
Biff: It’s a magic shop in the next town.
Ivan: And why are we going here?
Biff: There’s a remedy there for teething.
Max: And you can get cool stuff!
Ivan: Then why am I going?
Max: Because you were bored.
Ivan: Right, that explains everything…
Inside the magic shop; it’s dark and all sorts of odds and ends hang from the ceiling. Max holds Scarlet as his eyes wander around the room. Ivan takes Scarlet from Max.
Ivan: I don’t trust you holding her.
Max: You’re not scared of her puking anymore?
Ivan: I just don’t want you to drop her.
Scarlet starts to pull on the zipper on Ivan’s jacket.
Ivan: No-no, don’t chew on that.
Max picks up a black top hat and puts it on Scarlet’s head. The top hat falls over Scarlet’s eyes.
Max: Hehe, look Ivan – you pulled a Scarlet out of your hat.
Ivan: Haha, very funny.
Scarlet lifts up the top hat and looks around the shop. Ivan looks at the potions on a shelf.
Ivan: Age of twenty-two? Breast improvement? Longer p***s – what!
Biff is talking to the clerk when Max comes up to Biff wearing a fox mask.
Max: Look Biff, I’m just like you.
Clerk: Ah, the Fox of Desire. The mask is used during intercourse between two of the same sex.
Biff: Perfect, just what we’re going to be doing tonight.
Max starts to giggle. Ivan holds Scarlet in one arm while he reads the back of a book with the other hand. Scarlet grabs a potion bottle off the counter; she looks at it and takes off the top.
Chris: Ju…
Ivan (Still reading book): Biff, what’s “ju” mean?
Biff: She’s thirsty; her juice is in the baby bag.
Max: We left it in the car; I’ll go get it!
Max runs out of the store while the clerk hands Biff a small tube.
Clerk: This will bring even more pleasure in sex.
Biff: Is this a magic shop or sex shop?
Clerk: A little of both, ah, and you needed that teething remedy.
Scarlet bites down on the mouth of the bottle. The liquid pours out into her mouth and she sucks it down. Max comes into the store seeing Ivan holding a bigger Scarlet.
Max: Scarlet?
Ivan (Still reading book): Man, you sure are heavy.
Scarlet: Juice good.
Ivan (Still reading book): Hm
Ivan looks down to see Scarlet slipping out of his arm; he drops the book and holds her. The top hat fits nicely on Scarlet’s head; she holds up the empty bottle.
Scarlet: Put down.
Max: Ivan! What did you do!
Ivan: Age of two…
Max puts Scarlet in her coat which is too short on her. Biff walks out of the magic shop carrying a bag with Ivan following behind him.
Biff: You couldn’t watch her for five minutes…
Ivan: Maybe it’s better this way…
Biff: But she wasn’t even crawling and the first steps she would have taken and –
Ivan: Might be easier on Chris, seeing as Scarlet is her daughter.
Biff walked to the car and put the bags in. Scarlet smiles at Biff with the top hat still on her head.
Scarlet: Biff, hold me.
Biff: Hm?
Biff picks up Scarlet and she hugs him; Biff smiles and looks at her coat.
Biff: I’ll have to buy you new clothes.
Max: Yay, we get to shop more!
Scarlet: No! Mine!
Ivan: Huh?
Max: I think that means she wants Biff all to herself.
Biff: Scarlet, you can’t tell them they can’t come.
Scarlet: Can too.
Max: Hehe, me and Ivan will just hang out at the café then.
Ivan: Sounds good to me.
Scarlet: Bye-bye.
Biff carries Scarlet into a children’s clothing store. He takes off her hat.
Scarlet: My hat.
Biff: Let’s fine you a better hat… wow, your ears sure have grown.
Scarlet: Big ears.
Biff: Heh-heh, yeah.
Scarlet: Your ear.
Biff: My ears aren’t big.
Scarlet: Are too.
Biff: Well your nose is big.
Scarlet: Is not!
Biff: Hehe, kidding. Let’s get you some clothes.
At the café, Max sips on a soda while Ivan reads his book.
Max: You’ve been reading a lot Ivan…
Ivan: I used to read all the time.
Max: Yeah, always having your nose in a book… what made you start again?
Ivan: I guess Chris being gone…
Max: Don’t worry, she’ll be back and be so happy to see you!
Ivan: I doubt that…
Max: Well, if you’re negative about things then of course she won’t be happy… You have to be positive.
Biff is slipping on a shoe for Scarlet when a cat girl with long blonder hair and a big pink bow walks up to him.
Kyla: Hello Biff, remember me?
Biff: Hm? Kyla!
Scarlet: Who this?
Biff: Kyla, she’s a friend from the animal genra festival.
Kyla: And who might this be?
Biff: Scarlet, the love of my life.
Kyla: Kind of young, isn’t she?
Biff: Not like that! Sick-o.
Kyla: Joking-joking, I suppose with those rabbit ears she isn’t yours.
Biff: Yeah…
Kyla: Why so gloomy?
Biff: Well, I know I’m not her father but I love her as if she was my own.
Scarlet: Biff mine.
Biff: Hm?
Kyla: You know Biff, my daddy told me something I’ll never forget.
Biff: What’s that?
Kyla: Any man can be a father but it takes someone special to be a daddy.
Later, Biff walks into the café with Kyla holding Scarlet. Max wags his tail as soon as he sees Kyla, Ivan raises an eyebrow.
Max: Who is this, she’s so pretty!
Ivan: What you do Biff – steal a super model?
Biff: Super model?
Kyla: Hehe, what – never seen a gal with hair like this and hips like these? I’m Biff’s friend Kyla, from the animal genra festival.
Biff: I’ll have to worn them ahead of time Kyla…
Kyla: Hm?
Biff: She’s a lesbian and if you get close to her bosom or bust – she’ll throw you.
Kyla: Or make you fly through a door and crush your spleen. I’m also claustrophobic!
Scarlet: Hungry!
Kyla: Hehe, okay – what’s this little girl want to eat?
Scarlet: Banana.
Biff feeds Scarlet the last piece of carrot cake off his plate when everyone finishes their meals at the café. Kyla stretches and looks at her watch.
Kyla: Oh wow, it’s late – I got to meet Mikano! Bye Biff!
Biff: Always rushing Kyla.
Kyla: Bye Scarlet, Max, Ivan! Oh! Mikano is going to kill me!
Kyla runs off, tripping over some people. Biff, Max, and Ivan chuckle. Scarlet reaches for Biff’s drink.
Scarlet: Me thirsty.
Max: She certainly has a healthy appetite.
Ivan: That’s defiantly Chris.
Biff: Could eat a house in two point five seconds.
Biff hands Scarlet his cup and she drinks out of it. She burps.
Scarlet: Now tired.
Biff: Well, you have had one long day.
Max: I think we all had, I say we go back home and watch a movie!
Ivan: As long as it’s not Little Mr. Meow.
Max: Aww…
Biff: We’ll find something we like; don’t worry.
Max: Hooray!
