Eight Critters and a Puppy

On a sunny morning in Brisbane in The Nightmare Critters home, Simon wakes up with a yawn and sits up in his bed.

"Ah, Sunday mornings. My homework's done, my chores are complete, and I'm looking forward to a whole day of freedom with my friends and no Smiling Mutts!" Simon Smoke said to the viewers with glee.

He gets out of bed and starts dancing with joy. Then all of sudden... DING DONG. Simon stops dancing.

"So much for that." Simon Smoke groaned.

Simon got dressed and went downstairs to answer the door. As he opened the door, Trixie was shown with a diaper bag and Socks who was standing next to her mom.

"What?" Simon Smoke said in a tone.

"Hi, since your parents agreed with this. I was wondering if you are available to babysit Socks for the day." Trixie said.

Socks giggles while waving, holding her penguin plush in her arms. Simon looked annoyed at the toddler pup.

"I did not sign up for this." Simon Smoke grumbled quietly.

"Why can't you?" Rabie Baby asked.

"Well, Stripe and Muffin caught the flu and I need to take care of them. I don't want to risk Socks getting sick. Now, all you'll need to do is feed her, change her, and then put her down for a nap. Easy as that." Trixie explained. 

"Lucky us..." Baba Chops groaned.

"It's not luck. It's strategy. Princess is probably faking it, I know her tricks to a T." Simon Smoke said.

"I doubt it. Muffin's mom might be telling the truth. She sounds pretty convincing." Icky Licky shrugged.

"Have a great day!" Trixie said.

Trixie heads to the car and drives off. Baba closes the door. Allister is making funny faces to Socks, which she likes. Poe checks the list.

"Muffin's mom says first thing, we gotta feed her. Here, you put her in the highchair and Maggie will get her food." Poe said.

Poe gives Socks to Touille as Maggie checks the fridge. Touille tries getting Socks into the highchair, but he ends up putting her in upside-down, gets her in backwards, and even ends up in the chair himself. Maggie finds Socks' baby food perfectly labeled. Socks is now in her highchair as Maggie is trying to feed her.

"Open up the hangar, Socks. Here comes the airplane." Maggie Mako cooed.

Socks knocks the spoon out of her hand.

"Okay, a little turbulence." Maggie Mako said.

"Are you kiddin' that there was severe turbulence like that one flight headin' towards Hawaii that was on the news two years ago." Touille said.

She gives the food to Poe.

"Here. Let me try." Poe offered.

Socks give them the same results.

"It looks like she doesn't want to eat." Poe said.

"She's just a baby. We can make her eat. I mean, how hard could it be?" Maggie Mako said.

"Actually she just turned two a few weeks ago." Poe corrected.

"Oh, I forgot. My bad." Maggie Mako chuckled sheepishly.

Later, the kitchen is a complete mess because Socks refuses to eat anything.

"You know, I read in this book called "Food for Tot" that if you show the baby you like the food, she'll like it, too." Maggie Mako said.
