"Mila Mila, come come!" Ren giggled, gesturing Mila over. Ally was upstairs asleep, her fever still blazing. Normani and Dinah had gone out on a lunch date, and Demi was in the office next to the dining room, chatting away on her phone. 

Mila crawled over from her spot in the middle of the living room. Ren had a paper in front of her, a bunch of different colored scribbles on the paper, which nonetheless had meaning.

"So I been tinkin', an' we shou' prank me Mommy and Ma." Ren smiles.

"Ooh! Me likey!" Mila squeals, clapping her hands together. Ren immediately shushes her and points to the ajar door of the office, where Demi's laugh is heard.

"Shhh! We be quiet 'cause you Mommy in dere. Otay?" Ren puts her finger over her mouth. 

Mila nods, "otay."

Ren grabs Mila's hand and drags her up the stairs and into her Mommy and Ma's room. 

"Des'woy!" Ren giggles, running over to the bed with a mischievous laugh and tears the covers off of the bed. Ren knew Ma did them, especially because she was watching Ma tidy the room up. 

Mila ran into the bathroom and decided to misplace things. She moved the shampoo and conditioner on the toilet seat. She moved the cup of toothbrushes into the cabinet below the sink. She took the towels and threw them on the floor in the room. She gasped when she saw a new bottle of toothpaste. She opened it, after a little struggle, and danced around squeezing the toothpaste everywhere. There was toothpaste on the ground, in the bathtub, on the carpet, on the mirror, there was even some in her hair!

Ren ran to the closet, where she knew most of her Mommy and Ma's stuff were hiding. The closet was packed to the brim and being the smart little she is, she pulled one thing out of the bunch and it all came crashing down on her. She giggles, crawling out of the pile of mess.

"Oof!" Ren flinched when something fell on her head. "What is this?" she picked the long, bright pink thing up. It was smooth and had a rounded tip. The other end was a black circle with a switch on it. She clicks the switch on and immediately drops it. The thing makes a weird buzzing noise as it jumps on the floor. 

She picks it up with a smile and runs to find Mila in the bathroom. She puts the bright pink thing to Mila's side and Mila bursts out in laughter.

"R-Ren! Stop i-it!" Mila screams. Ren takes the thing away with a smile. She switches it back off, the buzzing noise stopping.

"Lauren Michelle, Karla Camila." 

Ren looks at Mila with wide eyes. Uh-oh.

Ren turns around to find Demi standing in the bathroom doorway with her arms crossed against her chest.

Demi raises an eyebrow at the duo. Mila giggles.

"What is so funny here, Karla?" Demi persists. Mila has never been called Karla before, not even before the girls knew about her headspace. The only time her first name was used was... when she was in trouble.

"No-notin' Mami." Mila ducks her head behind Ren's shoulder, avoiding Demi's glare.

"We are leaving this mess until your Mommy and Ma come home. And I will take that." Demi looks at the thing in Ren's hand, which she still didn't know the name of.

Ren huffs and hands the tickling-device over. "You two are in the time-out corner until Aunty Dinah and Aunty Mani get home, go." Demi points behind her.

"Yes, Mami." 

"Yes Aunty Dem." comes the two small replies. 

"Find two different corners, look at the wall and think about what you've done," Demi says after them.

Ren and Mila were stuck in their time-out corners for another half hour. Demi sat in the living room, where the two littles were, and watched television until the couple came home. 

"Why are they in time-out?" Normani asks as the pair walks into the front door. 

"You will find out when you walk into your room," Demi says dismissively. Normani and Dinah share a confused look. The two drop their shopping bags behind the couch and make their way up to their room. 

Walking in, both mouths drop to the floor. Their closet was torn apart, everything sprawled on the floor, their bedsheets on the floor, and there was toothpaste on the carpet near the bathroom door. They carefully make their way over to the bathroom. Normani gasps when she sees everything out of line, and worst of all, toothpaste everywhere.

Normani storms down the steps with Dinah right behind her. "Sit, you two, right now." Normani points to the couch across from Demi. 

Mila and Ren scurry into the couch, cowering away from the couple. 

"Mo-mommy." Ren whimpers. Dinah stands her ground. 

"Who's idea was this?" Normani asks, rage clear in her tone and body language.

"Mine," Ren whispers.

"N-no! My idea!" Mila immediately interjects.

"Ren?" Dinah looks at Ren. Ren just nods. Dinah leans into Normani, "Ren's idea." she whispered.

"No! My idea!" Mila protests, tears threatening to spill from her eyes.

"Mila, iss' otay." Ren smiles sadly, patting Mila on the knee.

"No! My idea!" Mila is screaming and stomping her feet. Demi rushes around the coffee table separating her from Mila and pulls Mila into her. "My- my idea." Mila sobs. Demi whispers sweet nothings into Mila's ear and rocks her back and forth, rubbing her back. 

"My idea," Ren states firmly.

"Why did you do it?" Normani raises an eyebrow.

"'Cause Mommy mean to me." Ren frowns. 

"No, sweetie, I'm not trying to be mean, I'm trying to discipline you so that when you grow up, you make good decisions and know what is wrong and right," Dinah explains. 

Normani sighs. "We are going to spend the rest of the day cleaning our room, and you two are helping, okay?"

"Otay!" Ren smiles. "C'mon Mila, notin' bad 'appen." Ren holds her hand out for Mila to take. Demi lets Mila out of her arms, Mila gladly taking Ren's hand. 

"Go upstairs," Normani instructs. Ren and Mila skip off hand in hand.

"By the way, they found this." Demi pulls out the pink dildo from behind a sofa cushion.

Normani's eyes widen. "Wh-what?" Normani was shocked.

"They found, our dildo?" Dinah's wide eyes eyed the pink dildo.

"And Ren was using it to tickle Mila." Demi holds her laugh back. Dinah snorts.

"Bruh," Dinah grumbles.

"Hide your toys better, you're parents!"
