Pepperson's Reporting

It wasn't long before Mia made her way into Mojo's kennel and ate the eggs Mommy had boiled for him. She also managed to eat up the adult cat food from Archie's yellow bowl.

Mia was turning out to be Mojo's competition and everybody was beginning to fall in love with the baby girl who would hop like a bunny from one room to another. She would crawl up to Mojo after he falls asleep and sniff him and try to cuddle by his tummy. Archie though preferred the distance and would roll his hazel eyes every time Mojo and Mia ran around the house like their butts were on fire.

Mommy packed her laptop in her bag and started to go around the house filling everyone's bowl with food. She saw Mia roll over her back and run into the couch as she opened up like a butterfly out of a tiny cocoon. Mommy was running late, as usual. She stood by the door wondering if it was a good idea to let the kids stay on their own. The boys were trained to chill while she was away but Mia was home only for a week and Mommy stayed back the first two days while papa babysat the next five days. Papa had his own venture and hence could work from home when required. But Mommy hesitated that one day as he had performed with his rock band the previous night at a famous club.

He'd left a message at 4 AM in the morning about getting back home and she knew not to disrupt his sleep. 

'Good morning, Sunshine.' Her phone beeped.
'Hey! Good morning, baby! Supp?' Her face lit up like she swallowed a firefly and rest of its community at once.
'Just woke up to get the door for the delivery guy. What about you?' He replied.
'Heading to work. A little worried about Mia though. You think she's going to be fine? What if she gets stuck under the couch?' She texted.
''Relax. She can run under that couch. There's no way she's getting stuck there. ' He sent.
'Baby, I can watch over the kids while you're gone.' He sent again before Mommy could reply.

'Uhhhh.' She put up another fake sigh. 'I don't know. You don't have to, really.' she sent.
'Unless you really want to.'

'Of course, I do! Baby, please let me watch over them?' He knew exactly how to deal with her.
'You'll see me in 10.'

She sort of did something that appeared like a celebratory dance. But those who didn't know her could easily misinterpret it as an unusually expressive seizure.
She thought of something and rushed to the kitchen.

The doorbell rang and Mojo picked up the scent which was followed by his infamous bum dance that could give Nicki Minaj a run for the money. His excitement grew with every step mommy took towards the door.
'Hey, gorgeous.' He smiled at her.
'Hey, you!' she kissed him.
Papa had learned by now as to where the litter tray goes, what's their favorite food and their favorite scratch spots. He'd become a dotting Papa who could even flaunt the tiniest of Mia's features. He'd learned how to clean her eye boogers, groom them and make their bed.
He attended to his baby girl Mia, His Happy drug Mojo and his first love Archie.
'Come here.' Mommy dragged him to the couch. He saw that the couch was covered with a mattress, a pillow by the head and a quilt by the foot.
'Here' she handed a mug full of hot chocolate to him. 'Get some sleep'. She smiled at him.
'That's so nice of you.' He blushed.
'There's some instant Ramen and chicken in the kitchen. Whenever you're hungry.' She said.

He grabbed her by the arm and kissed her on the lips making it a really weird scene for the kids. Mommy pulled back blushing and looking like she needed youtube tutorials on how not to look like courage the cowardly dog while blushing.

She walked by the door after her 'taking forever' goodbyes to the kids.  'Also make sure to check the pen stand on the table.' she winked.
She disappeared in a second and Archie walked to the couch making the armrest his throne. Mojo came and laid on the couch, under the fan. Mia was on Papa's lap and he looked the joint peaking out of the pen stand.
'I took it out of the pen stand. I love you.' he sent her a message.
He smoked by the window with occasional sips from the hot chocolate mug. He got to the couch and slept like a baby.


'Agent MJ?' Archie smiled.
'Pick the newbie up. We might have a potential addition to the team.'

'Weally?' Mojo asked. 'Can we call ourselves the X-men too?'
'For that, you'd need to walk through walls, not into them.'

Mojo picked Mia by the nape of her neck and they walked into the kennel.

They put her on the ground.
'Show us what you've got.' Archie said as he rested.
She stared back at them like a tiny princess that she was.

'Do a summersault. Oh oh... Do a ninja move.' Mojo got excited.
She looked at them again. She walked close to Mojo and started to scratch his nose. He turned away and she jumped on to his wagging tail.

POOF.

He farted. Mia fell back and rolled on the floor scratching her face.

'Hey. She made it alive. She's qualified for the team.' Archie said.
'Wut?' Mojo screamed. 'You made me chase the red dot and asked me to catch my own tail when my interview happened. You even took my fish.'

'Relax. We will train her. And it starts tomorrow.'
She fell on Mojo again, making him feel tingly, giggling like a silly puppy. The three of them played for a while and fell asleep.

A few minutes into deep sleep, Mojo started to chase something in his sleep. A dream again. Archie who was sitting a little away from them opened his eyes slowly.

Mia walked to Mojo and saw a scar on his hand. She breathed and licked his wound.
Archie sensed something unusual.
She took a step behind and rubbed her paw on his wound.

Archie's eyes widened. Mojo's wound was healing.
'Everything's going to be alright.' she whispered into Mojo's ears. She turned back and startled when she noticed Archie witnessing the whole scene.

'Agent Mia from Team Morchie.' she purred and fell asleep like the princess she is again. Agent AM smirked at the new badass he had on his team. He noticed her wide beautiful eyes. Nobody could tell she was an agent. She was a subtle package with a dynamite in her body. Her power to heal was what was unusual. Yet, she was the perfect addition to the team and the family.
Archie pulled something from underneath the mattress and threw it at her. Silver bells tied to a thread. Soon it was around Mia's neck.

'Agent Mia, reporting.' she spoke into it.
