How to Train Your Babysitter!

*A cute photo of little Screamy and Wavey to start the chapter!*

Today is the best day of my life!

Hello readers, it's Izzy again!You remember me from a few chapters ago? It's been awhile since you've seen me huh?

So as I get ready for today, I just want you guys to wish me luck! I've never actually babysat before so this will be a first time for me. Especially since Miss Drake has some of the coolest children I have ever seen! Some of them are super cute while others like the gunmetal grey one scare the living daylights out of me! Seriously why does she even keep that one around? I swear he's going to shoot me one day!

But I won't let him stop my training! He is just one footstep in my path of becoming a super sitter! If this means dealing with difficult children, so be it!

Enough of the chitchat! I've done my hair in my two tailed style with white ribbons today, buttoned up all the silver buttons on my favorite blouse, and tied my sneakers. Time to go do training with my favorite neighbor. All I have to do is knock on the door and wait for her-

Why is that pipsqueak grey one pointing a gun at me already? I just knocked on the door for crying out loud!

"Grumpy Leader? Who's at the door?"

Penny walked from the kitchen where she was making cookies with Megatron, Bulkhead, and Soundwave. The others were still taking naps on the living room floor. It had been three days since the incident at the store and Penny had to shop at a different store in another county to get her supplies. She had successfully obtained a buffer and some paint, much to Knockout's delight. She also got more oil for the bots and food for herself. To celebrate, she decided to bake some chocolate chip cookies to eat for desert. Of course she couldn't bake alone however. Megatron had awoken to find her mixing the dough and wanted to observe how she did it. It wasn't long before Bulkhead wandered into the room to watch as well. She didn't even hear Soundwave come in as he latched himself on his usual space on her back. Lazerbeak was also deployed and was leaning over her mixer to watch the ingredients blend together. A knock resounded on her door as she sent Megatron to answer it, only to remember that none of the of the other neighbors had seen the kids! A squeak came from outside as Penny turned the corner to see an ashen face Izzy holding her hands out as Megatron aimed his gun at her face.

"Put that down right now!" Penny said, hitting Megatron's arm with her wooden spoon. "Izzy is here to watch us work, not be turned into dust!"

Megatron reluctantly lowered his arm, but still gave a hard glare to Izzy. The girl in question stuck her tongue out at him, making him growl. Penny just sighed and shook her head at the twosome. She really didn't understand his animosity towards Izzy. The girl had a screw loose, but she wasn't anything to be wary about.

"I'm so sorry Izzy!" She picked up Megatron and walked into the kitchen. "Why don't you come on in so that we can discuss how this babysitting job is going to work."

Izzy smiled and took her shoes off, leaving them at the door. Skipping towards the kitchen, she noticed the cookie batter in the bowl along with three of the robots with Penny. The green one gave her a friendly wave while the one with no face simply nodded. A small bird drone flew from the mixer and circled her head a couple of times before landing on Penny's shoulder.

Izzy and Penny sat down at the table as her employer pulled out a red binder. Inside the binder was a bunch of papers and pictures of each of the robot kids.

"Okay, so first of all, you need to learn the nicknames of each of the kids." Penny explained, giving her the large family photo. "Each one has a distinctive name I usually call them. For example," She pointed down to Megatron, who was holding her leg. "That one is Grumpy Leader. The one on my back is Slendy and the green one is Greenie."

"That's a cute nickname!" Izzy said, patting Bulkhead. He beeped as she did so. "What about the others?"

"Well than there's Small Leader, Doc, Bee, Speedy, Lil Lady, Cherry, Wings, Eyeball, and Goldface or Goldie."

"Got it! What about the drone?"

"I just call him Birdie."

"Okay, so what do I need to know about the bots in particular?" Izzy asked, taking out her notebook.

Penny took a deep breath as she opened the binder. "So each bot has a different way of coping, playing, sleeping, eating, and so on. I'll give you the know how for dealing with each one."

"Small Leader is usually the most obedient one. He doesn't fuss or fight unless he's in close proximity with Grumpy Leader. He likes to nap by the coffee table, with the purple blanket. When it comes to playing, he enjoys playing Follow the Leader! You never see him without Doc, so keep those two close."

"Doc on the other hand likes to keep to himself and always has a frown on his face. He has this toy wrench that he frequently throws, so be careful of that. He likes to nap under the coffee table with one of the red blankets. As for fun, just bring a good book about medical work. He seems to love playing with my First Aid kit."

"Bee is my youngest and is a total sweetheart. Be careful, he can get super clingy. He'll take any moment to snuggle. He also cries easily too, so keep his favorite stuffed bear around. He likes to sleep on me mostly, but he'll sleep on a big pillow on the floor. You can play a game of Hide and Seek with him, just don't lose him."

"Greenie is my gentle one, so you'll have no problems with him. Just keep him and Eyeball away from each other, they tend to fight. He sleeps on the long couch, usually curled up on the black pillow. He loves books with monsters in them! Playtime aside, just give him some blocks to build with."

"Speedy is my troublemaker and can wind up being the one getting hurt the most. You'll have to be fast to catch up with him. He tends to wear me out on certain days. But he looks up to Small Leader, so have him with you if you have to discipline him. He sleeps on the windowsill, so be careful if he falls over. He likes to race and play tag so you better have fast stamina."

"Lil Lady is the only female in the household. She'll respect you if you respect her. She's also the most helpful when it comes to cleaning up. Her naptime spot is on the big recliner, wrapped up in her red blanket. As for games, she'll play whatever."

"Grumpy Leader is the hardest to handle for various reasons. He is stubborn, hot tempered, and will kick and scream if he doesn't have his way. You have to have a thick skin and a firm sense of authority to get him to cooperate. He likes to sleep on the floor with Small Leader though because they share the blanket. Games aren't really his thing, he loves reading books though."

"Wings is another clingy one, but a rub on the wings should get him to release. He loves being rubbed there. He'll try to challenge your authority while driving Grumpy Leader crazy. All you have to do is give him attention and love. He sleeps on the top shelf of the bookcase. He loves it when you make him fly, that's his favorite game."

"Cherry is my snobby fashionista, so be prepared to get beeped out for your clothing choices. He loves to look in mirrors and will get you to buff him twice a day. He loves playing with Eyeball, so give the two something they can both play. He sleeps with him on the couch too."

"Eyeball acts just like Greenie, but a bit rougher. He likes to wreck things so keep him away from anything breakable. He also loves it when you gived him clay. That is something he can't break."

"Goldie is also respectful in his own way. He'll follow your orders as long as it doesn't put the others in danger. He sleeps underneath the couch, so watch your step. He's very quiet and would rather listen to you talk than play."

"Slendy is so quiet that he'll pop up out of nowhere and scare the living daylights out of you. He also keeps a watchful eye out for everything so try not to do something bad while I'm gone. Dronie and him are always together so you cannot separate them. Keep your electronics out of reach if you don't want to be hacked. He sleeps by the t.v. His games are all on my tablet, so I'll give you the code."

Izzy took a ton of notes for her convience as Penny finished her explanation. Who knew these kids were so high maintenced!

"Now that you know what to do, let's put you to the test." Penny said, smiling gently at her. "You'll do fine sweetie, just don't panic and have fun!"

No sooner did she say that, the bots in the other room started to wake up.

Izzy will be put to the test! Will she pass with flying colors?

The next few chapters will be dedicated to bonding time with Penny and her bots! What should she do with each bot?

​​​​​Until then: Penny takes the bots to school in a few chapters!
