Aw, yeah the good old days. Wait, does this mean this isn't the good old days?
:lol: I kid, I kid.
Rain Down
Morning, Carly/Josh's house
Josh: How's your cereal?
Holly: *staring at bowl*
Josh: You like Lucky Charms.
Holly: ...
Josh: You...Don't like Lucky Charms?
Holly: Daddy puts choca milk in it.
Josh: I think that can be arranged. *walks to fridge*
Holly: *staring at bowl*
Josh: *pours chocolate milk in cereal* Better?
Holly: *staring at bowl*
Josh: Something else you needed sweetheart?
Holly: ...*sigh*
Josh: I can't get it for you if you won't tell me what it is.
Holly: *grabs spoon* Nothin'.
Josh: Okay. *reads paper*
Holly: Where's Carly?
Josh: She's in the Hummerhome with everyone else.
Holly: Why can't I go?
Josh: *reading paper* You're too young.
Holly: No I'm not, I'm almost nine.
Josh: Exactly.
Holly: *frowns*
Josh: Don't worry, when you're old enough they'll take you with them.
Holly: But I wanna go now.
Josh: You have to wait.
Holly: ...Do I have to go to school?
Josh: Yup.
Holly: *sigh* Daddy usually drives me.
Josh: I can drive you if you want.
Holly: Okay.
Josh: *nods*
Holly: ...I wanna watch Blue.
Josh: That's not a good show. It's not for kids.
Holly: *lifts brow*
Josh: OH! I thought you meant NYPD Blue. Sorry.
Holly: *smirks*
Josh: Ah, there's that prize winning smile.
Holly: *eats cereal*
Josh: Tell you what. I'll call in for you, and you can help me out today.
Holly: I don't have to go to school?
Josh: You're almost nine. What do you need an expensive education for anyway?
Holly: *lifts brow*
Josh: Don't worry about it.
Holly: What am I helping you with?
Josh: I need to clean the house and go grocery shopping.
Holly: Don't you have to go to work and be a police man?
Josh: I'm off for the next few days.
Holly: *digging at cereal* Daddy's a police man.
Josh: I know.
Holly: *eats cereal*
Josh: Oh, you know what I have for you?
Holly: *shakes head*
Josh: I got you a present for being such a good girl so far. *pulls out teddy bear*
Holly: *wide-eyed*
Josh: His name's Blue. I guess it's because he's blue. You'll notice I'm very original with names.
Holly: *extends hands* GIMME!
Josh: What's the magic word?
Holly: Please.
Josh: Here you go.
Holly: *hugs teddy*
Josh: You like him?
Holly: *nods*
Josh: Good. Come on, let's get you dressed.
Holly: Do I
have to clean?
Josh: Unless you'd rather go to school.
Holly: Where's the mop?
Josh: *laughs*
Hummerhome
Lori: DAD!
Speed: *walks into kitchenette* What is it?
Lori: Tell the hog to stop eating all of our food.
Speed: *sigh* How many times to I have to tell Eric to stay out of the fridge?
Lori: God I SWEAR he's like five years old. Look at this frickin' mess. Would it kill him to pick up a rag?
Speed: It probably would. *grabs dishes* Help me clean this.
Lori: If I come back and this is a mess again, can I beat him up?
Speed: Yes.
Lori: Sweet.
Speed: *hands over soap* You know, Lori you can tell me anything right?
Lori: *lifts brow* I didn't steal your watch.
Speed: What? No. I mean, about you. What's going on in your life, that sort of thing.
Lori: There's nothing going on in my life.
Speed: Yeah but when there will be something, you'll tell me right?
Lori: *laughs* Okay you've been talking to mom again.
Speed: No.
Lori: ...Josh?
Speed: No.
Lori: Horatio?
Speed: Lori, I'm serious.
Lori: Yes dad I promise to tell you everything.
Speed: Good.
Lori: We're out of Tampax at our house.
Speed: Except that.
Lori: Thought so.
Delko: *walks in*
Lori: *turns around, places hands on hips*
Delko: I...No. *turns around*
Lori: *grabs Delko* You.
Delko: Me?
Lori: You made a mess.
Delko: No I didn't.
Lori: You were fleeing the scene.
Delko: No I wasn't. I was...Checking for fungus.
Lori: Fungus.
Delko: Yeah. You never know where those little things will hide. You know, because you can never be too sure with...Fungus.
Lori: *frowning*
Delko: ....Oh my God there's two of them.
Katie: *walks in* Three of them now. Eric, I have told you a million times that our room is OFF limits.
Delko: Huh?
Katie: My underwear is gone and if I find it in your room, I'll be-head you.
Speed: *looks at Eric*
Delko: What? NO no *laughs* Come on man, I was doing the laundry.
Speed: Laundry.
Delko: Yeah mhm.
Katie: My underwear was already clean and it was in a drawer.
Delko: I was looking for fungus.
Speed: *rolls up sleeves*
Delko: AH! *runs out*
Speed: You better run. *walks out*
Katie: I swear he's like five years old.
Lori: Tell me about it.
Katie: So, how are things with you an Ash?
Lori: Why does everyone want to know about my personal life?
Katie: ...Who else wants to know?
Lori: Dad.
Katie: What did he say?
Lori: He said that I can tell him anything.
Katie: Well sweety he's just...Worried about you.
Lori: Why? It's not like I've never had a boyfriend.
Katie: Not that.
Lori: I'm not him. I'm not going to sleep around.
Katie: I'm sure that's not what he meant though.
Lori: *throws rag in sink* This is so typical. He still doesn't trust me.
Katie: He trusts you, he just...Doesn't trust the boys.
Lori: I can take care of myself.
Katie: I know you can.
Lori: Then what is his problem?
Katie: *shakes head*
Speed: *walks in* Eric won't be able to sit for a week.
Delko: *walks in* OW.
Katie: That'll teach ya.
Delko: *limps to room*
Horatio: *walks out* Hey what's going on? I heard girlish screams coming from outside my window.
Speed: That was Eric.
Horatio: Oh. Do we have any coffee left?
Lori: *hands Horatio a mug*
Horatio: Thank you Lori.
Lori: *washing dishes*
Loud crash is heard
Speed: Oh great, what did he break now? *walks away*
Katie: That better not have been my drawers. And by drawers I don't mean underwear. *walks away*
Horatio: *tilts head*
Lori: *washing dishes*
Horatio: You're scrubbing those plates pretty hard.
Lori: I'm making sure there's no
fungus. Did you know fungus has DNA?
Horatio: *smirks* I did know that.
Lori: Well I was reading this book which I stole from your office by the way, and it said that you can isolate DNA samples from fungus.
Horatio: *nods* Yep.
Lori: Well theoretically wouldn't you have to mix hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide with proteinase K into the final concentration? I mean, some fungal samples might need less proteinase K depending on the type of fungus you have, and even then, isolating DNA is rough.
Horatio: ...That's right. You like science.
Lori: Yeah.
Horatio: How did you get in my office?
Lori: It's a pretty primitive lock.
Horatio: It's a rotating algorithmic keypad.
Lori: *nods* Yeah.
Horatio: I locked myself out last week and couldn't get in until the other day.
Lori: You're welcome.
Horatio: Do your parents know how bright you are?
Lori: I doubt it. I failed every class on my last report card.
Horatio: And why is that?
Lori: It's boring.
Horatio: Well you still have to do it.
Lori: I know.
Carly: *runs in* Eric plugged the toilet.
Horatio: *sigh*
Carly: I've told him at least a hundred times that barbie cannot swim in a hurricane. Especially if the hurricane happens to be imitation porcelain.
Anni: *walks in* Haha, did you guys see the toilet?
Bathroom
Delko: *throws ken doll in toilet* QUICK! KEN SAVE HER!
Jess: What are you doing?
Delko: Ken just got stuck.
Jess: Is he anatomically correct?
Delko: Dear lord I hope not. If he is...God help us all. *salutes*
Jess: *rolls eyes*
Delko: ...You hear that sound?
Jess: I hear you breathing. You got some snot in there or something?
Delko: No, it's coming from the toilet.
Toilet starts to rumble
Delko: FIRE IN THE HOLE!
BOOM
Two minutes later
Delko: *walks out of bathroom*
Everyone: *standing, staring at Eric with their arms crossed*
Delko: ...I made a mess.
Horatio: Just...Don't touch anything else.
Grocery store, Miami.
Josh: Ready to go grocery shopping?
Holly: *nods*
Josh: Okay. *grabs shopping cart*
Holly: What are we buying?
Josh: Food, toilet paper, some aspirin and one of Carly's magazines. Readers Digest or something.
Holly: Can we get cookies?
Josh: It's not on the list.
Holly: It's not?
Josh: Nope.
Holly: Then you missed something. *grabs paper*
Josh: *laughs*
Holly: Hm...OH. I found it. Right there. Cookies.
Josh: That says brocoli.
Holly: No it doesn't.
Josh: Yes it does.
Holly: No it doesn't.
Josh: Yes it does.
Holly: No it doesn't.
Josh: Yes it does.
Holly: Nope.
Josh: Yep.
Holly: Nope.
Josh: Yep.
Holly: Nope.
Josh: Yep.
Holly: Nope.
Josh: Yep.
Holly: Nope.
Josh: Y- ...*grabs list* It says brocoli. I wrote it myself.
Holly: Fine. Be a pooper scooper. *crosses arms*
Josh: *picks up handcream* Oh hey, they have that new Jergens stuff.
Holly: That's not on the list.
Josh: We need hand cream.
Holly: You should have wrote it down.
Josh: It doesn't matter. We need hand cream.
Holly: If it's not on the list, it doesn't exist. It's my motto.
Josh: Since when?
Holly: Since I found out it rhymed.
Josh: We need this. Every household should have hand cream.
Holly: My house doesn't have hand cream.
Josh: *gasp* What? Why not?
Holly: Momma doesn't believe in hand cream.
Josh: I'm going to have a talk with your mom.
Holly: *giggles*
Josh: Okay....*looks at list* We need asparagus.
Holly: *scrinches nose*
Josh: What? You love asparagus.
Holly: No.
Josh: It's healthy.
Holly: Healthy things taste bad.
Josh: Well you can't have McDonalds all the time.
Holly: If I can't have it, why do they make it?
Josh: They make it so people who just don't have enough time to make asparagus can go to the drivethru.
Holly: But if they're on the road already, they won't have time to cook anyway. More reason to go to McDonalds.
Josh: Nice try.
Holly: *sigh*
Josh: *grabs asparagus* Okay what else do we need? *looks at list* Lima beans.
Holly: *lifts brow*
Josh: What?
Holly: Are you cooking that for supper?
Josh: I'm an excellent cook. You won't even know the lima beans are in it.
Holly: Wouldn't it make more sense to just...Not put the lima beans in it in the first place?
Josh: *laughs*
Holly: Why does everyone laugh at me?
Josh: Okay next we need...*looks at list*
Holly: Shouldn't you remember what you wrote?
Josh: Adults need lists because they're too old to remember.
Holly: I don't wanna be old then.
Josh: It's not so bad once you get used to the wrinkles and saggy....Anyway, if you drink eight cups of water and use plenty of hand cream, you'll live forever. Like me.
Holly: How long have you been alive?
Josh: Twenty nine wonderful years.
Holly: That doesn't sound like forever.
Josh: Well see, I haven't gotten that far yet. *looks at list* Brussel sprouts.
Holly: Yuck.
Josh: What's wrong with brussel sprouts? With a name like 'sprouts' you can't go wrong.
Holly: The same goes for cookies.
Josh: *laughs* You're not getting cookies.

JC: I can't believe Horatio's calling himself God.
Missy: I can't believe he just left a note.
