Arabella's POV

I was in the Man Cave with Henry, Charlotte, Mary, and Violet. Mary was holding Violet, who was sleeping peacefully in her arms, I was looking at my phone, and Charlotte was looking at something on the monitor.

"Whatcha doing?" Henry asked me as he was looking over my shoulder and I rolled my eyes with annoyance.

"Looking at an article about how annoying it is when someone reads over your shoulder," I explained to him with bitterness.

"Ah cool," He said and pointed at my phone which made me flinch. "Click on that! Ten celebrities who didn't know they were double-jointed! What?"

I sighed at this and Mary gave me a grin. I put my phone down and Henry whined.

"Hey," he said. "Rude."

I giggled at him and he poked my cheek, which made me smile and playfully whack his hand away.

"Stop it," I tell him and he stands up straight, putting his hands on my shoulders.

"Henry!" We turned and my dad ran out of the back, tossing Henry his gumball tube. "Swellview needs us!"

"What's going on?!" Henry asked.

"No time to explain, let's chew with urgency," my dad began and poured a gumball.

"I don't know the emergency," Henry remarked.

"Good one," I grinned.

"Thank you, hun," he smiled and put the gumball in his mouth. They chewed the gum and blow a bubble, which popped and it transformed them in Captain Man and Kid Danger.

Us three girls were confused when we saw the large cape on my dad's back.

"Oh no," Charlotte, Mary, and I said together and I giggled when I saw a tiny cape on Henry's back.

"Is this the emergency? You want to show me your new cape?" Henry asked him.

"No, I want to show you our new capes," my dad told him and I smiled at this.

"What?" Henry asked and looked down to find his cape, but couldn't find it and found the tiny one instead. "What is this? This isn't a cape! Are you kidding me?!"

"I'm one hundred percent serious!" My dad told him.

"What? Why? There's no point in this!" Henry argued as my dad approached Mary, Violet, and I. "You don't need a cape if you can't fly!"

"You don't have to fly to have a cape!" My dad exclaimed as he climbed on the couch. "You just have to own it!"

"Why is mine so much smaller than yours?!" Henry asked as he tried to grab his tiny cape.

"Yours is smaller cuz you're the sidekick," my dad explained and bent down with a smug look. "And I'm the hero."

"I don't want a stupid tiny cape, dude," Henry berated and struggled to reach for it.

"Maybe we could come up with a system where you could earn extra inches on your cape by doing things," my dad suggested and sat on the table. "Like being a good listener or maybe making me a nice pie."

"Just get this thing off me, dude," Henry groaned and Schwoz came out of the back with a giant fan.

"Oh no," I say and shake my head with a giggle.

"I found the fan you wanted," Schwoz told my dad.

"Ah! Haha!" My dad laughed, "prepare to be blown away! This is gonna be good, you're gonna want to get your phone out.

I picked up my phone and aimed it at the two.

"I'm not gonna do that," Henry denied and they bickered about it for a bit as Schwoz plugged the fan in.

Schwoz turned the fan on and my dad struck a pose as his cape blew in the wind. I laughed when the cape blew right in Henry's face and he was annoyed.

"Do you love it!?" My dad asked.

"No!" Henry said.

"I love this!"

"Best thing ever!"

"I am currently loving it!" Charlotte smiled and I chuckled. Violet let out a cute giggle and I smiled down at her.

"Violet even likes it!"

"The girls love it!" My dad smiled and winked at Mary.

"One of them can have mine!" Henry offered and we shook our heads at this.

"No thanks!"

"I'm good!"

"Nope!"

The emergency call blared and I stood up, getting out of the couch with Mary.

"Emergency call!" My dad exclaimed and turned around only to be met with a cape covering his face.

"Schwoz, turn it off!" My dad called as he fell down and I grinned.

"No, keep it on!" I say and Schwoz smirked with a chuckle as he turned it off.

Henry and I share a kiss before Charlotte, Schwoz, Mary, and I rush to back with Violet.

——
~Later That Day; Junk'N'Stuff~

I was up in the store with Charlotte and Jasper. Mary was at her house, trying to put Violet down for her nap. Jasper was brushing the teeth of the dinosaur head in the wall as Charlotte and I were making a sculpture of Jasper's head at the counter.

My dad and Henry walk through the door with food from Tubba Chicken and Jasper yells out as the dinosaur spits fire at his face. I cringe this and bit my lip.

"Ow, my face!" Jasper cried.

"Oh, sorry, dude." Henry apologized.

"Oops," my dad said.

Jasper lifted his head up and one of his eyebrows was gone, "is it bad?"

"No," Henry denied and looked away.

"Did you used to have two eyebrows?" My dad asked him.

"I think so," Jasper remarked and I shaved sculpture Jasper's left eyebrow off.

"So, why'd the Vice Mayor need you guys at city hall?" Charlotte asked them as I walked around the counter and over to them. The duo sat down on two stools and I wrapped my arms around Henry's shoulders.

"Someone stole a package off his front porch," my dad scoffed

"Yeah, a box full of neckties with his face on it or something, " Henry continued and handed me a chicken. "Chicken, love?"

"Yay," I smile and take the chicken.

"Anyray, we told him we'd get right on it, " my dad said and did a thumbs down, blowing a raspberry.

"Yeah, okay!" Henry laughed.

"Doesn't sound like you're getting right on it," Charlotte mentioned.

"It's not worth our time! We're superheroes! We don't care about some package thief!" My dad scoffed with a laugh.

"Yeah, we don't care about some package thief!" Henry laughed and my phone buzzed. I took it out and it was from Mary.

"What ya got there, sweetie?" My dad asked me, "a little text."

"From who?" Henry asked with a stern voice and I gave him a smile.

"From Mary," I tell him and my dad made a face as Henry looked away with an embarrassed blush.

"Why'd she text you and not me?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.

"I don't know," I shrugged and checked it. "She told me that some baby clothes were supposed to be delivered today, but it got stolen off her front porch."

My dad dropped his tub of chicken abruptly and stood up, "saddle up and ride, Henry! There's a thief that needs killing!"

"Wow," I say, and put my phone away.

"I'm gonna eat those!" Jasper called when he saw the chicken on the floor.

"That was very aggressive!" Charlotte said.

"I'll probably still eat them," Jasper said and I nodded.

"Me too."

"This is no time for greasy, delicious chicken!" My dad exclaimed, "there's a crime wave and it just hit my fiancé! Now, we're gonna find this package thief and we're gonna ruin his life!"

"Relax, dude," Henry sighed.

"I'm gonna hurt him till he cries!" My dad told us, "then I'm gonna collect his tears and boil them down and use their essence to make a high-end cologne called "Not On My Watch!"

"Dad!" I say.

"Woah!"

"Hey!"

"What's our first move?" Henry asked him.

"Not done!" My dad continued and Henry gave me a look and I shrugged. "Then I'm gonna cover him in honey and roll him down a hill of fire ants, fire ants that shoot lasers out of their butts and that's when things get-"

"Or!" Henry cut in a few times, "or, we put a fake package on Mary's front porch as bait. We wait in the surveillance van till the thief steals it and once he does, we grab him and take him to jail."

"Okay, love that." My dad praised and Henry smiled, "you just earned two inches on your cape, buddy."

"What! No-"

"Two inches to Kid Danger's cape!" My dad announced, ignoring Henry's protest.

"I don't- you know what, let's just go!" Henry suggested and pushed my dad toward the door. Henry gave me a kiss before they walked out the door. Once they walked out the door, the dinosaur head spat fire, and it burned Jasper's face again.

"OW! OWWWW!" He cried and he looked at us with his other eyebrow gone. "Is it bad?"

Charlotte shaved off the other eyebrow on the Jasper sculpture.

I shook my head, "no. Not at all."

——
~Ten Hours Later~

"Man Cave to surveillance van! Man Cave to surveillance van!" I spoke into the intercom after not hearing from the superheroes for over ten hours. "Dad! Henry?! Can you hear me?!"

Charlotte took the intercom from me, "hello?! We haven't heard from you in ten hours!"

Mary took the intercom and spoke moments later, "Man Cave to surveillance van! Man Cave to surveillance van! Can you hear us?!"

"Yeah! Yeah! We hear ya! We hear ya! Loud and clear!" I heard Henry respond and I sighed with relief.

"Finally!"

"Did ya guys fall asleep?" Charlotte asked them.

"Uh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no!" Henry denied. "We did not."

"Yes, you did," I remarked and Mary rolled her eyes.

"We didn't fall asleep!" My dad argued, "we were just resting our eyes."

"Okay," Mary said and handed Violet to me. "If you didn't fall asleep, then where is the package?"

"Uh, the package, the package is..." Henry said and paused for a moment or two, "gone."

Us girls sighed as Schwoz laughed.

"Shut up, Schwoz!" My dad scolded Schwoz.

"I paid eighty bucks for those clothes," Mary pouted.

Schwoz called my dad and laughed at him through the phone to tease him.

——
Henry and my dad came back later and they were yelling with anger at themselves for letting the package thief take the package. Charlotte, Mary, and I were tapping a box together that had Jasper inside it, and we were planning on putting it outside Mary's house. So when the package thief does come, Jasper will pop out and taze the thief.

"AHHHH! HOW COULD WE FALL ASLEEP?!" My dad yelled.

"Ahh! How could we let that guy take that package right from under us?" Henry asked with anger and I grin.

"Maybe if you didn't fall asleep, then maybe you would know," I muttered and the girls snickered.

"AHHH! SO ANGRY!"

"SO AM I!"

"I AM ANGRIER!"

"THAT IS A LIE CUZ I AM THE ANGRIEST!"

"OH! I AM KING ANGRO! RULER OF MACFURIOUS!"

"YEAH? WELL, I AM RAGE! VENGEANCE GOD OF ANGER!"

Charlotte, Mary, and I stood there unamused and Violet burped when Mary patted her back.

"Well, we are Charlotte, Mary, and Bella. Queens of are you guys done being angry?!" I exclaimed with annoyance.

"Does it sound like we are?! Does it sound like we are, girls?!" Henry snapped and I glared at him.

"CAN'T YOU SEE US STOMPING?!" My dad yelled as he angrily stomped around and he and Henry yelled and kicked the couch for a bit.

"Well, we only asked because we're done making another bait package to put on Mary's porch," Charlotte explained to the angry superheroes.

"What?!" Henry asked and I smiled.

"Well..."

"Wait!"

"Thank you!" My dad told us.

"That is actually incredibly helpful!" Henry added.

"That's why you have us," Mary winked.

My dad came over and grabbed the box, but couldn't lift it cuz of Jasper's weight.

"Ehhhhhh!" My dad grunted and stood up, "this package is too heavy, girls!"

"Why is it so heavy, girls?!" Henry asked and I glared at him.

"Because we put Jasper inside," Charlotte informed them.

"Hey, guys! I got a taser in here!" Jasper called from inside the box and activated the taser, which made him taze himself. "AHHHH! OWWW... it works!"

"That way he can jump out and tase the package thief in case you two fall asleep again," I explained to them and grinned as they argued over my statement and defended themselves.

"FALL ASLEEP?!" They both exclaimed.

"OKAY GIRLS!" My dad yelled and got in our faces, "KING ANGRO DOES NOT SLEEP! HE STOMPS!"

"HOW COULD WE POSSIBLY FALL ASLEEP WHEN WE'RE THIS ANGRY?!" Henry shouted out and my dad yelled and kicked the couch as Henry stomped around.

They're gonna fall asleep. I know it.

——
~The Next Day~

Charlotte and I were currently in the store, trying to get in contact with my dad and Henry as Mary was downstairs with Violet. We haven't heard from them and were really worried about them. They probably fell asleep, but I hope nothing happened to them.

Schwoz came up and we looked at him.

"Hey, have you heard from Ray and Henry?" Charlotte asked him.

"Cuz we haven't and we're starting to get really worried-"

"No greeny! Means pinchy!" Schwoz laughed and pinched us.

"OW!" We exclaimed and backed up.

"What the heck, Schwoz?" I asked and rubbed my shoulder.

"It's Avocado Day!" He said and I remembered what that was, "Bella, you remember, right?"

"What?" Charlotte asked.

"Oh, I remember! That was today?" I asked him and he nodded.

"Avocado Day. If you're not wearing green you get pinched on your skin," Schwoz explained and went to pinch us, but we slapped his hands away.

"That's St. Patrick's Day," Charlotte corrected and I shrugged.

"Another holiday with the same theme," I mentioned.

"What the heck is St. Paaaatriiiiiick's Dayyy?!" Schwoz asked with confusion and we sighed.

The door opened and two angry superheroes covered in glitter stormed in. I snickered at him and Henry glared at me.

"Don't Airy."

I bit my lip and smiled at them.

"You will never guess what happened to us!" My dad gritted through his teeth.

"You fell asleep again, and the package thief delivered the glitter bomb to the surveillance van and you opened it up without realizing what it was and now you look like a unicorn popped on you," Charlotte explained and I laughed.

"Woo! Spot on," I smile and we hi-fived with a laugh.

"No..." my dad denied.

"Maybe," Henry said. "Why do you have to be so smart all the time?"

"When did my daughter get so smart?" My dad asked and I gave him a look of disbelief.

"Guy gets glittered bomb and he becomes a stubborn jerk," I muttered and folded my arms

"No greenie! Means pinchy!" Schwoz laughs and pinched my dad.

"OW!" My dad exclaimed and turned to Schwoz, "is it Avocado Day?!"

"Yeah!" Schwoz smiled.

"Man, I forget every year," my dad smiled and I nodded.

"Me too," I laugh.

"What is Avocado Day?" Henry asked

"No Greenie! Means pinchy!" My dad and I say and pinched Henry.

"OW!" Henry flinched and Schwoz laughed. "What the heck, guys?!"

"It's Avocado Day! If you're not wearing green, it means you get pinched," I explained to him with a smile.

"That's St. Patrick's Day," Henry corrected.

"Holidays can have similar themes," I argued and he flicked my cheek.

"Stop making up fake holidays!" My dad snapped, "we have to find a way to stop this package thief!"

"Uh, you're right! You're right!" Henry nodded with panic.

"Step one: Stop falling asleep," I instructed.

"AHHH! GAHHHH!" My dad yelled at us and got glittered on Charlotte and mine's faces.

"EWW!" We exclaimed and ran to the counter to get the glitter off as Henry and my dad come up with a plan to stop the package thief.

"Guys!" Charlotte called as the two boys finished their plan idea, "Bella and I had an idea!"

"Wait!" My dad called and Henry turned to him.

"What's up, Big Dawg?" Henry asked.

"I have a better idea," my dad said.

"I'm listening."

"We go down to the Man Cave, we get Schwoz's pot of gold," my dad began.

"His what?" Henry asked.

"Schwoz's pot of gold," my dad repeated. "We leave it outside as bait!"

"Schwoz has a pot of gold?" Henry asked and I nodded.

" A pot of gold," Schwoz scoffed. "I'm not a leprechaun! Why would I have a pot of gold?!"

"He does," I grin, and Schwoz glares at me.

"You can't have my pot of gold!" Schwoz exclaimed, before running off to the back.

"Uh, I said Bells and I have an idea," Charlotte repeated.

"Okay, so, we get Schwoz's pot of gold, maybe run some electrical wires through it," Henry began and I sighed, leaning on the counter.

"Why do we even try?" I asked Charlotte, who sighed.

"I don't know."

"And we warm up some milk," my dad added.

"Okay," Henry nodded.

"And wait for the package thief to show up," my dad continued.

"And do some meditation and get in that zone," Henry remarked. "You know what I mean?"

"And listen to songs with a humpback whale?" My dad added and I rolled my eyes at my dad's imitation of a whale.

"GUYS!!" Charlotte and I yelled and got their attention.

"Bells and I put an ad online that says 'Junk'N'Stuff' buys things now," I explained to them.

"So?" Henry asked.

"So, the ad said that we'll buy stuff, pay cash, and not ask where they got it from," Charlotte continued.

"Uh, I did not authorize that, so I will subtract the cost of the ad from your paychecks," my dad remarked and this shocked us.

"Tough break, girls," Henry shrugged and I glared at him.

"I don't even work here," I protest. "I just say I do."

"You're my daughter, so whatever I say goes," my dad chuckled and I felt my eye twitch.

"No, no, we thought that maybe-"

"Come on, kid!" My dad interrupted Charlotte, "let's towel out this glitter, take a quick power nap, and steal Schwoz's pot of gold."

"Good call, I'm so tired," Henry remarked.

"I know right, must be from all that sleeping," my dad nodded and they walked over the bench to sleep. Schwoz suddenly ran out with his pot of gold and my eyes grew.

"You'll never get me pot of gold!" Schwoz cried as he sprinted toward the door.

"Yes, we will!" My dad said as he and Henry toweled out the glitter from their hair.

"Right after our nap!" Henry called.

As Schwoz ran out, this guy with a package in his hands walked in.

"Can we help you?" I asked the man.

"Yeah, I saw your ad online," he told us, and Charlotte and I shared a sneaky grin.

"Oh, did you?" Charlotte asked him.

"Yeah, you said you'd buy stuff, pay cash, and not ask where it came from," the man explained and I smiled.

"That is what the ad said," I tell him. "What you looking to sell?"

"I gotta bunch of neckties with the Vice Mayor's face on them, you interested?" The man asked and held up the neckties with the Vice Mayor's face on them and I noticed this got Henry and my dad's attention.

"We are very interested in those," Charlotte nodded. "Got anything else?"

"Got, uh, Season 2 of Will and Grace on Blu-ray," the man smiled and I grinned.

"That's a good season," I say.

"It's a great season!" The man snapped and I gave him a weird look.

"I also got these cute baby clothes made for a baby girl," he finished and lifted up a box of baby clothes that were meant for Violet.

This made my dad and Henry remove their towels and I nodded

"That is fantastic stuff, where'd you get it?" Charlotte asked him.

"The ad said you wouldn't ask where it came from," the man remarked me, and Charlotte and I shared a look. "But whatever, I stole it."

"Oh, wow, and nobody tried to stop you?" I asked him with my hands on my hips.

"Ah, there was this old guy and his son in a van trying to catch me," the man told us and I held my laughter inside when I heard that.

Son? That sounds wrong on so many levels right now.

"Old guy?" My dad asked and the man turned to him.

"Oh yeah, there you are!" He laughed, "you liked that glitter bomb, old man? UHHH! Haha!"

This caused all of us to laugh at him and Charlotte and I slowly backed away as Henry locked the door to the store.

"What's going on?" The man asked with nervous laughter, "why are they heading towards the back?!"

Charlotte and I disappeared to the back and allowed the boys to handle the thief.

——

Later, after the boys had taken care of the thief, Charlotte was blow-drying the glitter out of the boys' hair as Mary and I were wiping the glitter off their faces. Violet was upstairs sleeping, so she wouldn't get disturbed by the noise.

"Man, how crazy is it that the package thief just happened to walk into Junk'N'Stuff, right?" My dad asked and I gave him a look.

"He walked in cuz we put an ad online," I explained to them.

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, dude! Luck is a skill!" Henry yelled over the blow dryer.

"Yeah, but lucky for us, we got that skill!" My dad remarked.

"I know what you're saying, dude," Henry chuckled.

My dad laughed and the duo fist-bumped. This irritated us girls and we stopped cleaning the boys up.

"Good luck getting the rest of the glitter off you!" I told them with annoyance and we three walked into the back after that.

It's one of those days where Henry and my dad get stubborn and become very irritating. It reminds me of when I'm on my period or when I haven't had food.

Up Next: Sister Twister Part 2💕🌪

I feel like this chapter wasn't my best. I hope the next part will be better.
