A Continuation of "Small Wonder"

[Small Wonderian]

Hey, everyone, this is my first fanfic that i'm doing, so don't be too critical of me and I hope you all like it somewhat.

Here's the synopsis of the show for those of you that don't know or simply forgot.

Small Wonder was a sci-fi comedy show that aired in syndication from 1985 to 1989. The main cast of characters are:

A. Vicki Lawson - a 14-year-old, human like robot who was built to see whether robots could actually do human tasks. Her functional capabilities are way beyond what humans can do. She really has no time for fun and games and she tries to keep Jamie in line.

B. Jamie Lawson - a 15-year-old boy who is the big brother of Vicki who tries at times to take advantage of Vicki. He hates schoolwork, but really loves to play around and get into a lot of trouble.

C. Joan Lawson - the wife of Ted and mother of Jamie who runs an efficient household with the help of Vicki and tries to support her husband in any way that she can. She's the typical American mother in a lot of ways.

D. Ted Lawson - the husband of Joan and the father of Jamie who works at United Robotronics as a robot inventor. He created Vicki and tries to keep her a secret, with little success. He's hard working and very intelligent, but is really a swell guy.

E. Harriet Brindle - the snoopful 13-year-old daughter of Brandon and Bonnie Brindle who tries anything to get Jamie to like him. She tries to teach Vicki about life, but Vicki winds up teaching her a thing or two.

F. Brandon Brindle - the father of Harriet and the boss of Ted at United Robotronics. He, too, is very nosy and will always try to get ahead at work at the expense of Ted.

G. Bonnie Brindle - the mother of Harriet and the wife of Brandon who is very nosy also. She has a very friendly attitude, even if she overdoes it at times.

H. Reggie Williams - Jamie's best friend who doesn't like schoolwork just as much as Jamie. Those two always are collabarating schemes with the help of Vicki and sometimes wind up finding themselves in deep trouble. He is good-natured at heart.

Season 5

Episode: 1
Title: No More Vicki (Part 1)
Air Date: August 4, 1990

[color=light blue]The guest character here is Vanessa (who will be a main character from now on), which is the evil twin robot of Vicki. She will do anything to have her own way even if that means terrorizing people to get there. She is more advanced than Vicki and is able to express human-like emotions and feelings.[/color]

(scene is in the Lawsons' kitchen)

Jamie: What is wrong with Vicki, mom? She is malfunctioning a lot lately.

Joan: Well, your father is trying to fix her, but he's having little success. I hate to say this, but, Vicki may not be repairable.

Jamie: *with a disgusted look on his face* You may be right, mom. Dad has tried everything and so far, nothing has worked. It would be a shame if Dad couldn't repair her. She was the best sister I've ever had.

Joan: Jamie, that's the only sister you've ever had.

Ted: *running from downstairs and with a mad look on his face* There's nothing more I can do. Vicki is now just a piece of junk; her circuits are destroyed and all of her internal structures are beyond ruin.

Joan: Well, honey, do you think you'll be able to build another one?

Ted: I don't have to, Joanie. I already have a replacement for Vicki, but I was really hoping to never have to use it, but it looks like I'm going to.

Jamie: Are you talking about the other robot that looks just like Vicki in your closet, dad?

Ted: *angrily* How did you know where it was?

Jamie: *sheepishly* Well, I was trying to find some coat hangers to use for my science project, and I saw something that looked very familiar, so I pulled it out and I was Vicki, or so I thought until I noticed her hair.

Ted: Yeah, her hair is different from Vicki's in that her's had soft curls in the front and a ponytail in the back, but this robot's hair is just long and curly.

Joan: So what is this new robot's name, honey?

Ted: What do you guys think about the name: Vanessa?

Joan and Jamie (together): That'll work.

Ted: Great!!!! Her name is Vanessa, then. I'll bring her down right now.

Joan: Jamie, do you think she'll be anything like Vicki?

Jamie: Mom, I don't know. Vicki was top-of-the-line.

Joan: *laughing* She was, wasn't she?

Ted: I'm back, and so is Vanessa. When I flip the switch on her back panel, she will be everything that Vicki was and then some.

Jamie: *with a disappointed look on his face* It sounds like that you're tired of Vicki, dad. What did Vicki ever do to you?!

Ted: *reassuring Jamie* Jamie, let me explain something to you. Vicki was really great and I'll never, ever forget her, but I guess that time has worn her down. Now, Vicki will get some needed rest while Vanessa "pinch-hits" for Vicki, ok?

Jamie: *smiling* Ok, dad.

Ted: *hugs Jamie, then gives Joan a kiss on the cheek* Well, here goes nothing. *flips the switch on Vanessa's back panel*

Vanessa: *makes a beeping noise, then responds in a loving but robotic voice* Hello, everyone.

Episode: 2
Title: No More Vicki (Part 2)
Air Date: August 11, 1990

[color=light blue]Vanessa is now the new robot in town and sees having another sibling in the house as a nuisance, so she tries everything in order to get rid of it.[/color]

(scene is in the Lawsons' kitchen)

Joan: *looking at Ted* Wait a minute, isn't this the same robot that unknowingly tagged along when we went to Hollywood last year?

Ted: Well, yes and no. You see, that version of Vanessa was too grown for its own good, so I had to take her apart, reconfigure her gadgetry, then put her back together. She now has XR-2100 molecular brain, which can emulate and respond to outside stimuli within a billionth of a second.

Jamie: At least she's not as cruel and hateful as the previous one. Hi, Vanessa, do you want me to show you around the house? *comes up close to her and gives her a smile*

Vanessa: No thank you, I already know where everything is in this house.

Jamie: Wow, dad!!! She's just as polite as Vicki.

Ted: *speaking very excitedly* That's the beauty of it. She's more advanced than Vicki, but she's has the same politeness as her. Now, that's not to say that she won't have her bad moments because I reprogrammed her to emulate and respond with human-like traits and qualities. In other words, she's more human-like than Vicki!

Joan: Can Vanessa eat, drink, and do other things like human beings?

Ted: Yep. She has a titanium digestion system that is reinforced with carbon and steel that is accurately similar to a human's so that she can really eat and drink like we can. Overall, her internal structures have been built like humans so that she can interact, think, and do anything else just like us.

*someone knocks on the back door*

Jamie: I'll get it. *rushes to the back door and opens it*

Harriet: Hi, Jamie!!!

Jamie: Well, if it isn't the great big snoop. What do you want, Harriet?

Harriet: *with a disappointed look on her face* Is that any way to treat your future wife?

Jamie: *in a loud, angry tone* Who said you were going to be my future wife?

Ted: *in a stern voice* What do you want, Harriet?

Harriet: *comedically* To go on a date with Jamie, but seriously, I came to......... *looks over at Vanessa* who is that?!

Ted: Why do you ask?

Joan: *with a hurried look on her face* Harriet, don't you have something to do? Jamie, why don't you go outside and play with her.

Jamie: *with a disgusted look on his face* I'd rather play with dirt, but I guess there's no harm in playing with her. *walks out the back door with Harriet and closes it*

Vanessa: That's Jamie, right?

Ted: Yes, Vanessa. That's your big brother Jamie. Do you like him?

Vanessa: Are you kidding?

Ted: *with a confused look on his face* Why do you say that?

Vanessa: I'm just teasing. He's ok, but I wish he could treat Harriet a lot better than he does.

Ted and Joan (together): *with surprised looks on their faces* You do?!

Joan: Ted, I see Vanessa's point. Jamie treats Harriet bad sometimes, even if she does snoop around.

Vanessa: Is it all right, if I could you two: mom and dad?

Ted and Joan (together): *looks at one another and then looks at Vanessa* You certainly can.

Vanessa: *thinks to herself* Now, I got them right where I want them. They believe that I like Jamie, but I could care less about him. I'm about to show them what it's like to have an only child in the house.....me. *displays an evil grin on her face*

Episode: 3
Title: Getting Trapped
Air Date: August 19, 1990

[COLOR=light blue]While Vanessa is still on her mission to being the only Lawson child, she learns that what goes around comes around. [/COLOR]

(scene is in the Lawsons' garage)

Ted: *cleans out the garage* There is a lot of junk in here. *looks through some antiquated possessions* Let's see, here's an old tape recorder, and some robotic parts, and some my old clothes that I don't need anymore.

Jamie: *runs excitedly towards his dad* Dad, guess what?!

Ted: What, son?

Jamie: I made the baseball team!!!

Ted: *in an exciting tone* Well, congratulations, Jamie!!! That's fantastic!!! So, what position do you play?

Jamie: I'm a 2nd baseman.

Ted: Wow, that's great!!!

Jamie: Well, remember when I tried out for football and that never materialized?

Ted: Yeah.

Jamie: The school was having baseball try-outs today, and Reggie told me to check it out, so I did and I really impressed the coach with my fielding and accurate throwing.

Ted: *chokes up* I am really proud of you, son. *displays a boasting look on his face* I should go over to the Brindles right now and tell that nosy Brandon that my son made the school baseball team.

Jamie: *with an uneasy feeling* Go easy on him, dad.

Ted: *smugly* Don't worry, son, he's had this coming to him for a while now.

-----------------------------------
(scene shifts into the Lawsons' kitchen)

Joan: Vanessa, could you give me a hand with this chocolate cake? I have to put it into the refrigerator.

Vanessa: *smiles* Ummm, that cake looks very yummy!!!

Joan: It sure does. This cake is for Ted; it's been exactly 15 years since he started working at United Robotronics and I'm just showing him my appreciation.

Vanessa: I'm sure he will be real happy when he sees it and I'll be happy when we dig into it.

Joan: *laughing out loud* Yep, Jamie will be happy when we dig into it also.

Vanessa: *thinks to herself* That Jamie is becoming a real pest.

Joan: Vanessa, can you grab the bowl for me on the table, please?

Vanessa: *grabs the bowl and hands it to Joan*

Joan: Thank you.

Vanessa: You're welcome. Is there anything I should do, mom?

Joan: Nope, there's nothing else. You can go outside and play if you want to.

Vanessa: *thinks to herself* Soon enough, I will be the only child. I'm going to go play a prank on Jamie. *snickers devilishly*

---------------------------------
(scene shifts over to the Brindles' house)

*Ted knocks on the front door and Brandon opens it*

Brandon: Hi, neighbor!!!

Ted: *smugly* Hi, neighbor.

Brandon: *with a confused look on his face* What's wrong with you?

Bonnie: *approaches Brandon* Is everything ok? Hi, Ted!!!

Ted: Hello, Bonnie. *looks directly at Brandon with a boastful look* My son, Jamie, has made the school baseball team as a 2nd baseman.

Brandon: That's great, but we have news of our own.

Brandon and Bonnie (together): Harriet made the girls' softball team as the team's catcher.

Ted: *with a surprised look on his face* She did?!

Brandon and Bonnie (together): *responding excitedly* Yes!!!

Brandon: *calls Harriet with a sing-song tone* Oh, Harriet!!! Come here for a second, honey!!!

Harriet: *sounding excited* Yes, Daddy?! Hi, Mr. Lawson!!!

Ted: Hello, Harriet.

Brandon: Show our neighbor what position you play on the girls' softball team.

Harriet: Ok, daddy. *walks to the driveway and then stops and squats down*

Brandon: *goes in the middle of the front yard and pitches a baseball* Here, honey, catch!!!

Harriet: *takes her catcher's mitt and catches the ball thrown by her dad* Got it!!!

Ted: *looking astonished* That's wonderful!!!

Harriet: *politely* Thank you, Mr. Lawson.

Brandon: *looking directly at Ted* Why don't you bring Jamie over here for a second?

Ted: Ok. *tells Jamie to come over to him for a second*

----------------------------
(scene shifts to the Lawsons' kitchen)

Vanessa: *says with an evil grin* Mom put a delicious chocolate cake in the refrigerator. Too bad that she'll think that Jamie has started eating it before anyone else has the chance. *opens the fridge, tears a big piece of cake, and eats it* Ummm, that was delicious. Jamie, are you going to get it now! *closes the fridge*

Joan: *walks into the kitchen and looks at Vanessa* What are you doing?

Vanessa: *startled* Ummm, nothing. Just finishing up sweeping the floor.

Joan: *confused but accepts her response* Oh, ok. *walks into the living room*

Vanessa: *breathing a sigh of relief* That was close. I almost got caught, but Jamie, you will.

-----------------------------
(scene shifts to the Brindles' front yard)

Jamie: *answers his father's call* Yes, dad?

Ted: Could you show our neighbors your skills as a 2nd baseman for the boy's baseball team?

Jamie: Sure, dad. *walks to the middle of the yard with his glove in his hand*

Ted: *uses the Brindle's baseball* Ok, son, I'm going to roll the ball on the ground for you. *walks about 40 steps away from Jamie*

Jamie: Ok, dad.

Ted: *rolls the ball on the ground hard* Go get it, son.

Jamie: *waits for the ball to roll to him, scoops it up, and throws the ball back to his dad in one smooth motion* There you go!!!

Brandon: *happily* That's really good, Jamie.

Jamie: *politely* Thanks, Mr. Brindle.

Harriet: *interjects to Mr. Lawson* Did you know we already knew about each other's good news today?

Ted: *looks toward Jamie dumbfounded* You never told me that you knew that Harriet was on the girls' softball team.

Jamie: That's why I told you to take it easy, dad.

Brandon: *smiling* Harriet told me that Jamie had made it on the boys' baseball team.

Ted: *apologizes to Jamie* Son, I'm very sorry that I wanted to boast about your good news. I should have let you tell me all of the good news and not just part of it. Do you forgive your ol' dad?

Jamie: Sure, dad. You're the greatest!!!

Ted: *blushing* Awww, your pretty great yourself, kiddo.

Brandon: *hints to Ted* I think you owe some others an apology?

Ted: Ok, I'm sorry Brandon for wanting to boast about my son's good news and I'm sorry, too, Harriet, and congratulations on making the girls' softball team.

Harriet: *in a sweet and innocent voice* That's ok, Mr. Lawson.

Brandon: *looks at Ted misty-eyed* I forgive you, too, you big lug.

Ted: *with a sarcastic look on his face* Ok, Brandon.

-----------------------------
(scene shifts back into the Lawsons' kitchen)

Joan: *opens the refrigerator and notices that the cake has been somewhat eaten* Who in the world ate a piece of the cake before it was time?

Jamie: *opens the back door and comes inside* What in the world happened to the cake....and a very delicious cake at that?

Joan: Someone wanted to have an early desert, I guess.

Ted: *comes inside and closes the door* What happened to the cake, honey?

Joan: It has been partially devoured by someone and I think I know who did it.

Joan, Jamie, and Ted (together): *in a loud tone* Vanessa!!!

Joan: *looks at Ted sadly* This cake was supposed to celebrate your 15-year anniversary for working at United Robotronics. It's ruined now.

Ted: *with a reassuring voice* It's ok, honey. I love it, even if it's been eaten into already, but now it's time to bring the culprit into the kitchen.

Joan: *yells loudly* Vanessa, will you come into the kitchen immediately?!

Vanessa: *runs downstairs and enters the kitchen* You called, mom?

Ted: *with a stern look on his face* Who went into this cake and ate it without permission?

Vanessa: *with a mean look on her face* It was Jamie who did it. I guess he was just hungry.

Ted: It couldn't have been him because he was outside with the Brindles and I.

Joan: *with an upset look on her face* You're wearing the evidence on your dress, Vanessa.

Vanessa: *looks down at her dress with embarrassment* Oops.

Ted: Vanessa, why did you lie to us?

Vanessa: *in a state of shock* I don't know.

Joan: *with a stern look on her face* For your punishment, you can't watch TV for two whole weeks and you will make a formal apology to all three of us in the living room before you go to bed tonight. Is that understood?!

Vanessa: *sulkingly* Yes, mom. *thinks to herself* You may have won the battle, Jamie, but you're far from winning the war, so just watch your back because you'll never beat me!!!

Title: The Discovery
Air Date: August 27, 1990

[color=light blue]Jamie tries to hide something from his parents, but incidentally “lets the cat of out the bag.”[/color]

(scene is in Jamie's room)

Jamie: *with a grouchy look on his face* I hate getting up early in the morning and it's on a Saturday.

Vanessa: *knocks on Jamie's door and then enters his room* Mom and dad said come downstairs and eat breakfast.

Jamie: *look on his face rapidly turns into excitement* Ok, I'll be down in a minute!!!

Vanessa: *thinks to herself* There's got to be some way of getting him in trouble. He's a real challenge, but not for long.

Jamie: *runs downstairs and enters the kitchen with Vanessa following behind him* Good morning mom and dad.

Ted: *looks up from his morning paper* Morning, son.

Joan: *turns away from the stove and greets Jamie* Good morning, Jamie. What do you want for breakfast this morning?

Jamie: Whatever you're making. Hopefully it will be some scrambled eggs, bacon, and some waffles.

Joan: *with a loving look on her face* Well, I hope that some oatmeal, toast, and orange juice will do.

Jamie: *with a disappointed look on his face* It wasn't what I had in mind.

Ted: What do you guys think of me trying to rebuild Vicki from scratch?

Jamie: *with a confused look on his face* I like Vicki and all, but do we need two robots running around the house?

Joan: *with a concerned look on her face* I agree with Jamie, Ted.

Ted: Well, if I can rebuild Vicki, then Vanessa won't have to be around anymore.

Joan: *with a disappointed look on her face* Ted, that's mean. You mean you're going to get rid of a fully functional robot and replace her with a robot that may or may not be able to be repaired?

Ted: *shyly* It was just a suggestion, honey. I didn't mean to seem so cruel and heartless.

Joan: *smiling* Well, ok.

--------------------------
(scene shifts to the Lawsons' backyard)

Jamie: *with a bored look on his face* There has to be something I could do.

Reggie: *enters the Lawson's backyard and walks over to Jamie* Hey, Jamie.

Jamie: *sadly* Hi, Reggie.

Reggie: *with a concerned look on his face* What's the matter with you?

Jamie: I'm really bored, so bored that I could settle for Harriet dropping by to bother me.

Reggie: *in a comedic tone* Man, you are bored. How come you didn't turn in your science project today. Mrs. Walker is going to give you an F for sure.

Vanessa: *listens through the window and thinks to herself* Poor little Jamie didn't turn in his project. I hope mom and dad doesn't find out. *makes an evil cackle*

Jamie: *sadly* I can't let mom and dad find out. If they do, I can kiss the baseball team goodbye.

Reggie: Well, how are you going to keep it from your parents?

Jamie: I have no clue.

-----------------------
(scene shifts to the Lawsons' living room)

Joan: *cuts of vacuum cleaner* Whew! I'm finally finished vacuuming this floor.

Vanessa: *happily* Hi, mom!!!

Joan: *turns around and looks at Vanessa* Hi, honey. How was your day?

Vanessa: It was ok.

Ted: *enters living room* Well, hello everyone. Guess what happened at work today?

Vanessa: Hi, dad.

Joan: *with a beaming look on her face* Hi, honey. What did happen at work today?

Ted: *with an excited look on his face* I got a promotion!!!

Joan: That's great, honey!!! What did you get promoted to?

Ted: Assistant supervisor of the robotics division of United Robotronics.

Vanessa: *with an excited look on her face* Congratulations, daddy!!!

Ted: *looks at Vanessa* Thanks, honey.

Joan: *with a concerned look on her face* Where's Jamie?

Ted: I don't know, Joanie.

Vanessa: He's in the backyard with Reggie.

Joan: Vanessa, could you tell Jamie to come in here for a second?

Vanessa: Ok. *leaves the living room to get Jamie*

Ted: *with a proud look on his face* I am so happy about the promotion. Joanie, I'm going to take you out to dinner for a fancy celebration.

Joan: *with a happy look on her face* Well, let's see....what shall I wear tonight?

Ted: *jokingly* Anything but that.

Joan: *with a sarcastic look on her face* Ha ha ha, very funny.

Jamie: *enters the living room nervously with Vanessa right behind him* Did someone call me?

Joan: *looks at Jamie* Your father got promoted to Assistant Supervisor of the robotics division of United Robotronics today.

Jamie: *with an excited look on his face* Wow, dad!!! Congratulations!!!

Ted: Thank you, Jamie.

Joan: *looks at Jamie and Vanessa* Your father and I are going out to dinner tonight and we expect you kids to behave yourselves and to go to bed on time, ok?

Jamie and Vanessa (together): Ok, mom.

Joan: *looks at Ted dreamily* Come on, honey. We don't want to be late.

Ted: *looks at Joan dreamily* I'm right behind you.

*both Joan and Ted walk upstairs while Jamie and Vanessa look at each other sickly*

------------------------
(scene shifts to Jamie's room)

Vanessa: *knocks on Jamie's door* Can I come in?

Jamie: *worriedly* Sure.

Vanessa: *with a concerned look on her face* What's wrong?

Jamie: Something happened at school today and I don't know if I should tell mom and dad. Oh, man, I'm in so much trouble.

Vanessa: *displays an evil grin on her face but quickly hides it* Well, what did you do?

Jamie: *with a grave look on his face* If I tell you, you have to promise that you won't tell mom or dad. I have to be the one to tell them. Do you understand?

Vanessa: *looks at Jamie sarcastically but answers him in a reassuring tone* Yes.

Jamie: *breathing a sigh of relief* Ok, here's what happened. Today at school, I was supposed to turn in my science project, but I absent-mindedly forgot and now the teacher is going to give me an F. When mom and dad hears about this from me, they are going to kill me.

Vanessa: *jokingly* You're in a real pickle.

Jamie: *with an upset look on his face* Now is not the time for jokes, Vanessa.

Vanessa: *sarcastically* Sorry.

Jamie: *with an uneasy look on his face* Mom and dad will probably be home soon and I have to tell them the truth.

Ted: *enters Jamie's room suddenly with Joan next to him* Tell us what truth, Jamie?

Jamie: *with a hurried look on his face* Dad!!! What are you doing here so early?!

Ted: *with a stern look on his face* Never mind that. What did you want to tell us Jamie and I want to hear the whole truth.

Jamie: Ok, dad. Today at school, I was supposed to turn in my science project, but I forgot and now the teacher will give me an F.

Joan: *with a disappointed look on her face* How could you forget, Jamie?

Jamie: *sadly* I don't know. It must've slipped my mind.

Ted: Well, your punishment isn't going to slip my mind. Jamie, you will not be allowed to play outside for a week and you will go to bed an hour early until I decide otherwise.

Jamie: Yes, sir.

Ted: Good night. *leaves room with Joan*

Jamie: Good night mom and dad.

Vanessa: *makes an evil cackle* Yes!!! This is the first step to getting what I want.

Jamie: *with a confused look on his face* Getting what?!

Vanessa: *displays an embarrassed look*

Title: Vicki's Comeback (Part 1)
Air Date: September 6, 1990

[color=light blue]In the next three episodes, Vanessa is over at her grandparents’ house while Harriet makes herself a new home temporarily. Ted is still trying to operate on Vicki.[/color]

(scene is in Ted and Joan's bedroom)

Ted: *fixes Vicki while having a content look on his face* Let's see, all I need to do now is to fix her telescopic joints and Vicki will be good as new.

Joan: *enters the room with a smirk on her face* I see you're at it again.

Ted: Honey, I think Vicki will be recoverable. Her joints just need to be adjusted.

Joan: *with a concerned look on her face* Now, Ted, if you do fix Vicki, we'll have two robots running around the house again. Remember what happened last time?

Ted: *in a reassuring tone* I know, Joanie. But, if you remember, last time Vanessa had a lot of discipline and personality faults. This time, all of those wrinkles have been ironed out.

--------------------
(scene shifts to the Lawsons' kitchen)

Ted: *gives Vicki a test command* Vicki, I want you to mop the floor.

Vicki: Ok. *walks over to the back door, picks up a broom, and starts sweeping*

Ted: *with a frustrated look on his face* No, Vicki! I told you to mop the floor not sweep the floor.

Vicki: *walks into the living room, opens the closet, and starts dusting it with a dustmop*

Ted: *walks into the living room and looks at Vicki with an upset look on his face* Stop, Vicki!!!

Vicki: *immediately stops what she is doing*

Ted: *reaches for Vicki's back panel, opens it, and flips the switch to shut her off* Why won't she follow instructions?!

Jamie: *enters the living room with a concerned look on his face* What's wrong, dad?

Jamie: *enters the living room with a concerned look on his face* What’s wrong, dad?

Ted: *sadly* Vicki is not responding well to any of my commands. It seems as though she’s getting her tasks mixed up. I might have to rebuild her all over again.

Jamie: *with a reassuring tone* Don’t worry, dad. If anyone can fix Vicki, it’s certainly you.

Ted: Thanks, Jamie. I certainly hope I can fix her.

Joan: *enters the kitchen* Any progress in fixing Vicki, honey?

Ted: Not yet.

Joan: *looks at Ted sadly*

------------------------
(scene shifts to Ted’s office at United Robotronics)

Ted: *finishes reassembling Vicki then says to himself* Well, now the hard part is over. Vicki has been rebuilt will the newest technology available and if that doesn’t fix her, then nothing will.

Brandon: *knocks on Ted’s door and while shouting* I know you’re in there, Ted. May I come in?!

Ted: *rushes to put Vicki away while trying desperately to stall Brandon* Hold on, Brandon!!! *examines the room to check for no evidence of Vicki, then opens the door* Yes, Brandon?!

Brandon: I need you to do a favor for me.

Ted: *smugly* What is it this time, Brandon?

Brandon: *with a soft tone* Could you let Harriet stay over your house for a little while. Bonnie and I are going out of town for a few days and we need someone to look after our little sweetheart. I promise she will be no inconvenience.

Ted: *look on his face rapidly turns into compassion* Ok, she can stay with us for a few days.

Brandon: *with an excited look on his face* Thank you so much and don’t you worry. Any favor you need from us, you just ask, and we’ll be glad to do it, I guarantee it.

Ted: *happily* Thanks, Brandon. Could I get a personal secretary to help lessen my tremendous workload?

Brandon: *sarcastically* Well, let’s see…no. *leaves Ted’s office*

Ted: *with a confused yet upset look on his face* Why of all the nerve…!!!

--------------------------
(scene shifts to the Lawson’s living room)

Ted: *looks at Joan* How long is Vanessa going to stay over at your parents’ house?

Joan: For two weeks. She is going to have a great time over there getting to know them and their goldfish.

Ted: *happily* That’s wonderful, honey.
*someone knocks at the front door; Joan walks over and opens it*

Joan: *with a confused look on her face* Hello, Harriet?!
Harriet: *sets three big luggage bags down in the Lawsons’ living room with a cheerful look on her face* Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Lawson!!!

Ted: *notices her bags with a sarcastic look on his face* Harriet, what a pleasant surprise. Please, come in and make yourself at home. How long are you going to be staying with us?

Joan: *with a concerned look on her face* Staying with us?!

Harriet: Three weeks.

Ted: *with a shocked look on his face* Three weeks?! *faints*
