Soon, Janie had gone to bed, and Jesse thought that babysitting couldn't be easier.

That was when DJ tried to pull a fast one, and she and Stephanie went downstairs into the kitchen to get treats. Until Jesse walked into the kitchen.

"Hi Uncle Jesse." They both greeted him as he walked right past them.

"Hi, girls." He greeted back, then jumped as soon he saw them. "Girls, you're supposed to be in bed girls." He went back over to them, laying his hand on the table, giving them a stern look. "Wow,wow...girls, girls...you're supposed to be in bed girls dreaming about Tweety Bird or Big Bird or Larry Bird or something." Both the little girls looked up at him innocently.

" Uncle Jesse, if we get hungry, Dad always makes sure we have a late night snack." DJ told him, Stephanie bobbing her head up and down. "After all, Janie always has a snack before she goes to bed."

"We're going to have ice cream sundaes and chocolate milk!" Stephanie told him excitedly as DJ went and got the jar of cookies.

"And cookies." Stephanie nodded again, and Jesse walked over and stopped DJ in her tracks.

"Freeze chick." He told her sternly, looking between the two of them. "Alright,I know I'm pretty hip here. You guys think I'm a... I'm a idiot or something?" DJ shook her head, hoping she wasn't about to get in trouble. "Let me tell you something.I know what's going on here. Your dad's gone, big sissy's in bed, and it's "Lets Take Advantage of the Babysitter" time. I've got news for you girls. Your Uncle Jesse is a little too sharp to be taken on that kind of ride. Now you guys can have ice cream and chocolate milk, no cookies!" Stephanie jumped up excitedly.

"Yeah!" DJ nodded in a grown up manner.

"Okay." She and Jesse shook hands, and both little girls made their way upstairs with their milk and ice cream, DJ sighing with relief. She couldn't believe that she had gotten away with that! And more importantly, what else could she get away with?

Janie

In the little girls' room, both cartons of ice cream were empty, as well as the chocolate milk, and both girls were full of energy. They were now playing jump rope, one end tied to the bed and the other in DJ's hand as Stephanie jumped.

"Hey my name is Zippy and my hus' name's is Zoro." Stephanie sang as she jumped. "We come from San Francisco with the coddled up zebras. Hey my name is Alice..." DJ stopped swinging, though Stephanie was still jumping.

"That's enough from jump rope. Let's do the hand jive." Both girls did the hand jive, Stephanie looking at DJ with wide eyes as she bounced up and down.

"Okay. But I can't stop jumping. I may never sleep again!" DJ laughed and grabbed her shoulders, grounding her as she panted. "Thanks."

"Two bowls of ice cream triggers you a lot of pep huh?" DJ remarked, panting as well.

"Does pep mean you can't blink?" Stephanie asked, her eyes indeed big and wide.

"No pep is PARTY TIME!" DJ told her excitedly, and they both headed for the door, where Janie stood there in her robe and slippers, her arms crossed. She did not look happy with them. DJ backed up, smiling nervously. Jesse may not have been a problem, but Janie would.

"Pep: noun; energy and high spirits or liveliness. That's not what this situation is." She told them, walking closer as Stephanie scrambled into her bed, DJ gulping. "You know this means, DJ? This, means someone took advantage of Uncle Jesse and went against the rule of No Sweets After Bedtime and ate all the ice cream."

"We left your ice cream alone, if that makes you feel any better." DJ murmured. Janie's angry expression didn't change.

"I'll tell you what, girls. If you go to bed right now, without waking me or Michelle up, I won't tell Dad."

"And if we don't?" DJ asked defiantly, crossing her arms right back. "I know Uncle Jesse's gonna bring over his band since he couldn't go, and I want to watch them!"

"Then I'll tell Dad, and you'll both be in trouble!" Janie told her, getting in DJ's face, making her jump. "Now go to bed, Donna Jo." DJ hurried to her bed and flipped off the light, Janie leaving on the turn of her heel, shutting the door behind her.
