Jennie opens the door, dropping her bag on the hall stand. She looks around the house, confused. She’s been there almost a minute and no running blur has greeted nor was her girlfriend there to give her their customary kiss and hug. She walks towards the kitchen, knowing that she can spot them through the window there if they actually were there, when she sees Lisa on the floor, army-crawling behind the couch, a water-gun in her hands.
“Is this what you do when I’m at work?” Jennie asks and smiles in satisfaction when Lisa jumps and shushes her. Jennie raises an eyebrow at her. “Excuse me?”
Lisa looks sheepish as she gets up and drops a kiss on Jennie’s lips. “Sorry, but we’re in a middle of a battle, babe.”
Jennie reaches up and wipes away the black face paint underneath her right eye. “Camouflage?”
Lisa was about to answer when they were ambushed with the kids pelting them with water as they continuously pumped their water guns. Jennie immediately jumps behind Lisa, hiding her body as much as possible from the onslaught.
“Aw, I’m out,” Riley says as she pumps her gun, but no water comes out.
“Reload!” Asher says. They scamper back to the backyard to reload their water guns.
Jennie turns back to Lisa, who looked like a drowned rat. The face paint underneath her left eye was smeared from the water. She wipes away the remnants, laughing. “Did you buy cheap face paint?”
Lisa shrugs. “I mean I didn’t even think it was possible to buy cheap face paint, but I guess I did.”
They hear a commotion outside and Lisa pushes her against the wall, right next to the door. The door opens and Lisa immediately blasts the kids with water, her arm pumping hard.
The kids were screaming, forgetting to fight back until all of them were wet.
“I win!” Lisa screams, celebrating. She feels a plastic gun at the small of her back and she stills.
Riley and Asher share a look before smirking at Lisa. Their eyes were drawn to the small figure behind Lisa.
“I win, Mama!” Ellie says, the water gun still against Lisa. She pressed the trigger, soaking Lisa’s back and hips with water.
Jennie, Riley, and Asher laugh at the surprised look on Lisa’s face.
“Betrayed by my own bug!” Lisa says as she tickles a squirming Ellie.
“Mama, we win,” Ellie cries in delight as she tries to squirm away from Lisa.
“You ambushed me!”
“We won, fair and square, Mama,” Asher argues. “Now let go of our super spy.”
“You lost to a bunch of kids, Lisa,” Jennie says with a teasing smile.
“Well, the best bunch to lost to,” Lisa says.
“So we can go to build-a-bear right?” Riley asks, excitedly. “Since you lost?”
“Alright, alright,” Lisa says. “Go get changed so we can go get your bears.”

“You wanna build a bear too?” Lisa asks Jennie as they watch the three kids dash back and forth between the bears and the clothes on the hanger.
“No running!” Jennie calls to Asher, who slowed down, clutching Toothless in his hands. “He has so much energy.”
“I would think he would get Pikachu,” Lisa comments.
“I think it’s because he watched How to Train Your Dragon with Bona and Jisoo last time they babysat them,” Jennie says.
