A week later at Flaming Snowball, Scarlet sits on a bar stool sipping on a box of apple juice. Biff sits next to her talking to Alice.
Alice: Toddler kitchen?
Biff: Yeah, she loves it.
Scarlet: It all mine.
Alice: Hehe, “mine” seems to be her favorite word.
Biff: And Biff.
Scarlet: Biff! Foo… foox!
Alice: She’s so cute. I wonder what Chris will think when she gets back.
Biff: I don’t know but I’ll take care of both of my girls.
Max and Ivan walk into the bar, Scarlet grins to see Max.
Scarlet: Max!
Scarlet leaps off the bar stool and Max catches her.
Max: Whoa! Scarlet!
Scarlet: Fun.
Biff: Not fun, don’t do it again.
Scarlet: Why not?
Biff: You might get hurt.
Scarlet: Not-uh!
Max: Uh-huh, I was jumping on my bed and broke my leg.
Scarlet: Broke leg?
Max: It’s not fun.
Scarlet: No fun, like him.
Scarlet points to Ivan, Ivan gets a sweat drop as Alice starts to giggle.
Alice: Guess she’s mad you never play with her.
Ivan: I’m busy.
Scarlet: Lie.
Ivan: Ahem, and I wonder where she learns these words.
Biff: I ran out of baby books so I read her some of Chris’ novels…
Ivan: You rather read cheap sleazy romance novels then by baby books?
Alice: He rather spend his money on a toddle kitchen.
Biff: Heh-heh, Scarlet’s going to be a scholar and cook.
Scarlet: Flowist too.
Max: Florist?
Scarlet: That’s what I said.
Ivan: Well, I got work to do.
Scarlet: Take me too!
Ivan: Hm?
Alice: You heard her.
Biff: Looks like today Scarlet found her new best friend.
Ivan: Umm…
Max: Have fun big brother!
Ivan sits in his office typing on the computer while Scarlet colors in a coloring book on the couch. Biff takes his keys out of his pocket and Max’s tail wags.
Max: Where are we going?
Biff: Any where you want.
Max: Yay!
Max skips out of the bar; Alice waves good bye as Biff stands up.
Alice: Don’t go to rough on him.
Biff: Me rough? You mean him.
Alice blushes as Biff leaves the bar. Scarlet yawns and throws down her coloring book.
Scarlet: Bored.
Ivan: Me too…
Scarlet: Play.
Ivan: I can’t.
Scarlet: Can too.
Scarlet crawls under Ivan’s desk.
Ivan: What are you doing?
Scarlet: Hiding.
Ivan: From what?
Scarlet: You. Hide-go-seek.
Ivan: Heh-heh, well I found you.
Scarlet: Did not.
Ivan: Eh… you like candy?
Scarlet: Cho-co-late.
Ivan: Chocolate? Me too.
Ivan opens his drawer and pulls out some individual wrapped chocolates and hands them to Scarlet.
Scarlet: For me?
Ivan: Uh-huh.
Scarlet: Thank chu.
Scarlet unwraps the chocolates and shoves them in her mouth. Ivan sees a glimpse of Scarlet’s front bunny-like teeth.
Ivan: Your front teeth…
Scarlet: Huh?
Ivan: Never mind, just wishful thinking.
Scarlet: What that?
Ivan: Something we wish was true but never can be.
Scarlet: Never say never!
Ivan: Right… Little Mr. Meow.
Scarlet: We play now?
Ivan: Umm… sure. How about I take you to the park?
Scarlet: Yay!
Alice blinks to see Scarlet dragging Ivan down the stairs.
Ivan: We’ll be at the park.
Scarlet: Bye-bye.
Alice: Bye…
Ivan and Scarlet leave the bar; Alice busts out laughing. Ivan takes Scarlet’s hand and walks across the street. Scarlet starts to skip.
Scarlet: I happy! We play!
Ivan: I’m happy to spend time with you too.
Scarlet: Really?
Ivan: Yeah.
Scarlet: Hooray!
At the park Scarlet runs to the swings.
Scarlet: Push me!
Ivan: Okay.
Scarlet hops on to the swing and Ivan pushes her, Scarlet starts to giggle. At the top of the slide, Scarlet slides down where Ivan is waiting for her at the bottom. On the monkey bars, Scarlet holds on to wall and Ivan helps her get to the next bar. Ivan spots an ice cream vender and points to it.
Ivan: Would you like some ice cream?
Scarlet: Mhmm!
At the ice cream vender, the sign reads FG-4-PGs Original Ice Cream and starts off with flavors like pizza, hotdog, and rice. Ivan gets a sweat drop.
Ivan: Where are the normal flavors?
Wendy: There are no normal flavors; this is FG-4-PGs ice cream.
Ivan: Umm…
Wendy: You’re a rabbit, how about carrot?
Ivan: I do like carrots… all right, and what do you want Scarlet?
Scarlet: Carrot! I like them bunches!
Ivan: Two carrots.
Ivan and Scarlet sit down on a bench eating their ice cream.
Ivan: This is good…
Scarlet: Yummy.
Scarlet grins with the ice cream all over her mouth. Ivan laughs with a sweat drop and takes out some napkins from his pocket. He wipes off Scarlet’s face.
Ivan: I think it’s about time we head back…
Scarlet: Aww, swings one more time?
Ivan: All right.
Scarlet: Pick me up.
Ivan picks up Scarlet and carries her to the swings. As soon as he pushes her and Scarlet gets into the air; a rain drop hits her nose.
Scarlet: Ut-oh…
The rain comes falling down; soaking everyone in the park. Ivan takes off his jacket and wraps Scarlet up in it. He picks her up and carries her out of the park.
Scarlet: You wet…
Ivan: It’s okay…
Scarlet: Thankies.
Scarlet yawns and rests her head on Ivan’s chest. Back at the bar; Ivan dries off Scarlet with a towel.
Alice: The rain sure did get you too.
Ivan: Looks like it got a lot of people; we’re pretty packed for this time of day.
Scarlet: Head cold…
Alice: Your hat is wet sweetie; you need to take it off.
Scarlet: No. Me go home now and change.
Ivan: That’s probably a good idea.
Alice: Make sure you take an umbrella this time.
At Biff’s apartment, there’s a knock on the door. Biff walks out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
Biff: Come on in, it’s unlocked.
Ivan opens the door and Scarlet rushes inside making a squeaky sound.
Biff: Hey what did I tell you about wet shoes?
Scarlet: I got pee!
Biff: Oh, then go.
Scarlet rushes into the bathroom and slams the door. Ivan gets a sweat drop.
Ivan: Where’s Max… or do I really want to know…
Biff: He’s asleep.
Max walks out of Biff’s bedroom wearing only Biff’s shirt and yawning.
Max: Hiya Ivan…
Ivan: Hey…
Scarlet pokes her head out of the bathroom.
Scarlet: Biff. Bath.
Biff: Okay. Hey, if you two stick around long enough I can give her a bath and cook dinner.
Max: Sounds good.
Ivan: Okay…
Scarlet: Biff!
Biff: All right, hold your horses.
Biff goes into his bedroom and comes back out wearing a pair of black pants and holding Scarlet’s pajamas. He goes into the bathroom and shuts the door. Max and Ivan sit on the couch, Max yawns.
Max: I think I’m going to stay here tonight…
Ivan: All right…
Max: I should probably put on some pants…
Ivan: Yeah…
Max gets up and zigzags to the bedroom, Ivan sighs.
Ivan: I wish he had stayed asleep…
Max walks back into the room wearing a pair of red pajama bottom pants. He lies back on the couch.
Max: I’m so exhausted…
Ivan: Eh…
Max: What did you do today?
Ivan: Took Scarlet to the park.
Max: That’s good…
Scarlet walks out of the bathroom dressed in full pajamas.
Scarlet: All clean.
Biff: Yep and now it’s time to make spaghetti for dinner.
Scarlet: I make pancakes!
Scarlet runs over to her toddler kitchen in the corner and pulls out a plastic frying pan. Biff smirks and walks over to the toddler kitchen.
Biff: Who eats pancakes for dinner?
Scarlet: Ummm… me!
Biff: Oh really?
Scarlet: Mhmm, they see through pancakes that taste like air!
Biff laughs; Ivan shakes his head chuckling himself. Scarlet grins and follows Biff into the kitchen. Once dinner is done; everyone sits at the dinner table. Scarlet pokes her meatball with a fork.
Biff: What’s wrong? Full already?
Scarlet: Me use hands, no fork.
Biff: But I just gave you a bath.
Scarlet: Then feed me.
Biff: Lazy.
Biff takes Scarlet’s fork and feeds her some of the spaghetti. Max yawns and puts down his fork.
Max: I’m full… and sleepy.
Biff: Let me tuck you in; Ivan can you feed her?
Ivan: Umm, sure.
Biff and Max get up from the table. Ivan takes Scarlet’s fork and picks up a meatball.
Scarlet: Airplane! Airplane!
Ivan: Hehe, okay.
Biff strips the sheets off his bed and puts new ones on; Max yawns.
Max: I’m so sleepy…
Biff: Aww…
Biff puts his arms around Max; Max pinches Biff’s cheeks.
Max: When will you be coming to bed?
Biff: After the little one goes to sleep.
Max: I’ll be asleep by then so you better kiss me now.
Biff smiles and his lips touch Max’s. Max blushes with his half dazed eyes and puts his head on Biff’s chest. Biff runs his fingers through Max’s hair. In the kitchen, Ivan washes off the dishes. Scarlet brushes her teeth in the bathroom. Suddenly, a roar of thunder is heard and the lights flicker. Scarlet runs out of the bathroom and clings to Biff’s leg as Max clings to Biff’s side.
Max & Scarlet: I’M AFRAID OF THUNDER!
Biff walks out of his bedroom and tosses Ivan a pillow.
Biff: No point going out in this storm, just crash here tonight. I’m going to bed.
Ivan: All right.
Ivan lies on the couch and the lightning outside lights up the room from the sliding doors being half way covered with a curtain. Ivan looks over on the coffee table and sees a picture of Chris holding Scarlet in a hospital bed.
Ivan: Next time, I’ll be there for you…
In Biff’s bed, Biff has his arm around Max with Max snuggles up on him. On the other side of Biff, Scarlet has the covers kicked off and she’s sprawled across her side of the bed. A snot bubble comes out of Scarlet’s nose. In the morning, Scarlet clings to Biff.
Scarlet: Mine!
Max: Scarlet –
Scarlet: Mine! Mine! Mine!
Biff picks up Scarlet.
Biff: Stop shouting, it’s to early in the morning. And I’m not yours because people do not belong to other people.
Scarlet: What?
Biff: Eh, go brush your teeth.
Biff sets down Scarlet and she runs out of the bedroom. Max puts his arms around Biff’s waist and nuzzles him.
Max: My Biffy.
Biff: Hehe, and what did I just tell her?
Max: Oh well…
Max presses his nose against Biff’s; Biff leans in towards Max’s lips. Scarlet walks into the room seeing Biff and Max kiss; Scarlet dives in between them.
Scarlet: NO! MINE!
Scarlet clutches on to Biff, Max giggles.
Max: Jealous, are we?
Scarlet sticks out her tongue; Biff pats Scarlet’s head and picks her up.
Biff: Time to get you dressed.
Max: I’ll be in the shower.
Scarlet kicks her feet as she sits on the bed and Biff puts a shirt on her.
Scarlet (Singing): Biff is mine, all mine. Mine, mine, mine. Biff is all mine!
Biff: And why is that?
Scarlet: Because I love Biff!
Biff: I love you too.
Scarlet grins and Biff puts on her hat.
Biff: Now I have to get dressed, what should I wear today?
Scarlet: Hmmm…
Biff walks out of the bedroom with Scarlet on his shoulders. Ivan is watching the TV and waves.
Scarlet: We’re having pancakes for breakfast!
Ivan: You sure do like pancakes.
Scarlet: I love pancakes!
Once Max and Ivan leave; Scarlet sits on the couch coloring in a coloring book.
Biff: I’m going to take a shower Scarlet.
Scarlet: Okay!
Biff walks into the bathroom; Scarlet colors in a rabbit. Next door; Kendra is rushing around the living room.
Kendra: We have to leave to get there on time!
Raine: It’s just your cousin Kendra.
Shaylee: I thought you’d be procrastinating.
Kendra: I can’t!
Chujow: Lily is going to be there.
Kendra: And my aunt and my brother and sister!
Raine: You have a brother and sister?
Kendra: You didn’t know? They’re twins, real cute kids.
Shaylee: Hey, are we also bringing back Chris?
Kendra: Yeah, Suki – that’s Alex’s daughter, made Chris finally want to come back.
Chujow: Post-partum depression must suck.
Shaylee: I can imagine, hey – should we tell Biff we’re leaving?
Raine: I will!
Raine knocks on Biff’s door; Biff walks out of the shower with a towel around his waist.
Biff: Who could that be?
Scarlet: Biff!
Scarlet runs up to Biff and grabs on to his towel, Biff gets a sweat drop.
Biff: Get down.
Scarlet: No.
Biff shakes his towel but Scarlet won’t let go. He sighs and walks over to the door; opening it.
Raine: HI BIFF!
Raine looks down to see Scarlet.
Raine: Ummm…
Scarlet: I want towel!
Biff: Eh, heh-heh… Can I help you?
Raine: I just wanted you to know that we’re leaving and umm, yeah when we get back Chris will be with us.
Biff: That’s great.
Raine: I have to go… finish packing!
Raine dashes off to her apartment, Biff shuts the door.
Scarlet: Gimmie towel.
Biff: Fine.
Scarlet jumps down and Biff takes off his towel, tossing it. His tail sways as he walks into his bedroom a**-naked. Scarlet picks up the towel and hugs it.
Scarlet (Singing): Biff is mine, all mine. Mine, mine, mine. Biff is all mine!
