Once Alexanderia was out the room Howie turned to Kevin and said, "Okay what do we do first." He wanted to get his mind off of Alexanderia especially the look on her face. He really didn't want her to go but he had to. AJ was glad that Howie asked Kevin that question he wanted to get lost in his work usually once they started they forgot about everything else expect for the task in front of them. Kevin began to inform them on what they have to do.
Mrs. Doubtfire brought Alexanderia to her bus. "Didn't I tell you that whatever I say goes. I never wanted to see that happen again. When I tell you to come you come do you understand?" Alexanderia nodded her head "what did I tell you about nodding your head. You are to speak when I am speaking to you, now do you understand?"
Alexanderia just looked at Mrs. Doubtfire she was too scared to say anything because at this point Mrs. Doubtfire voice was raised. Mrs. Doubtfire knew not to yell because if she did then someone might hear her. When Alexanderia didn't say anything Mrs. Doubtfire step closer to her and slapped Alexanderia across the face.
"Now what do you say?"
In a voice just about a whisper "yes."
"That's better, but still needs work and this better improve or else. Now down to the rules. You may not touch anything on this bus. You are to sit at the table and I don't want you to paint, colour because you may get that stuff on my table. You must clean up whatever mess that you make. You may only sit at the table no where else. If you want to go to the bathroom then let me know. You may not get up form this table. If you want a drink asks me and then I will think about giving it to you. I understand that your `fathers' gave you a snack. I will take that snack, I don't believe in snacking. Do you understand?"
Alexanderia was going to nod her head again but remember what happen last time. "Yes."
"Good, well go sit at the table and remember if you tell anyone about this I will make sure that you go to a place for girls who are bad."
Alexanderia picked up her bag and went and sat at the table. She didn't take anything out she just put her head on the table. She put Tender Heart's ear next to her mouth and whisper low so that Mrs.
Doubtfire couldn't hear. "Papa and Daddy must hate me to make me stay with this big meanie. We have to do something so Papa and Daddy will love me. I love them but I had to be a bad girl to have to stay with Mrs. Doubtfire. Tender heart do you think that I'm a bad girl?" Alexanderia hear the word no. "Thank you Tender Heart, what are we going to do? We have to sleep here too. Where am I going to sleep?"
"Child get up! It is not your bed time, you have nothing to do then you can do this."
Mrs. Doubtfire handed Alexanderia a cloth and she put Alexanderia to work cleaning the bus.
Mrs. Doubtfire wouldn't let Alexanderia take her nap because Mrs. Doubtfire doesn't believe in children taking naps. To Mrs. Doubtfire great shock there was a knock at her bus door. She turned to
Alexanderia and said, "go sit at the table and pretend that you're playing." Alexanderia did that while Mrs. Doubtfire went to the door.
Mrs. Doubtfire opens the door to see Krystal there "Hi, AJ and Howie sent me to get Alexanderia because it is time for dinner. You're invited to come eat with us."
With a fake smile "thank you dear but no thank you. But why doesn't Alexanderia eat here with me it would save me the trouble of walking back and having to pick her back up."
"No, AJ and Howie want Alexanderia to eat with us because they haven't seen their daughter all day. And if you come and eat with us you wouldn't have to come and pick her up because you would be there. But anyway one of the guys or me will bring her back." With those words Krystal walked on the bus which didn't set well with Mrs. Doubtfire.
"Who does this little girl think she is, acting like this coming on my bus without my permission. Hum she is only knee high to a grass hopper and acting like that," Mrs. Doubtfire thought to herself.
Krystal didn't have to say anything because when Alexanderia saw her she came running and hugged Krystal around the waist. She looked down at Alexanderia and that feeling that she had before came over her again. "I'm glad to see you too. I came to get you because it is time to eat. Are you hungry?"
Alexanderia nodded her head. "Great then let's go" Krystal picked Alexanderia up and they walked off the bus leaving a very unhappy Mrs. Doubtfire.
As soon as Alexanderia saw AJ and Howie she was fighting to get out of Krystal arms. "I get the hint," said Krystal putting Alexanderia down. When Alexanderia's feet touch the ground she was off and she hugged Howie and AJ. She went to Howie first and to AJ it seem that Howie's hug was a lot longer.
"Did you have fun with Mrs. Doubtfire?" asked Howie.
Alexanderia wanted to say no but she remember what Mrs. Doubtfire said and so she nodded her head yes.
"That's good, but I don't know about you but I'm hungry. Let's go see what's for supper," said Howie taking Alexanderia's hand.
While they were eating Krystal and the guys couldn't help looking at the way that Alexanderia was eating she was eating fast and putting larger amounts of food in her mouth.
"Sweetheart, slow down and take smaller bites, okay?" asked Howie.
Alexanderia nodded her head yes and did what Howie said. Howie and AJ exchanged looks of `what the hell is that about.' And everyone went back to eating his or her food.
It was getting late and it was time for Alexanderia to go back with Mrs. Doubtfire. They didn't want her to go but they knew they had to because it was getting close to the time where they meet the fans before the show.
"Alexanderia honey, it's time to go but I want you to remember that me and Papa will come and get you tomorrow morning, okay?"
Alexanderia wanted to scream "no, it is not okay. I want to stay here with you Daddy, you know I can be quiet like a mouse. I'm not a bad little girl Daddy, I'm a good little girl." But nothing came out of her mouth and all she did was nod her head again.
"Well come give me and Papa a hug" Alexanderia ran to AJ and Howie and came them a hug. AJ and Howie both felt that her hug wasn't as good as it was before.
Krystal took Alexanderia's hand and they walked out the room with the guys saying bye to her.
While they were walking to the bus Krystal was thinking `I really don't want Alexanderia to be alone with this woman. There is just something about her, I'm going to make it my job when I'm free to come and get Alexanderia.'
They got to the bus and Krystal knocked on the door, the door open quickly and it made Krystal and Alexanderia jump. They walked on the bus and they found Mrs. Doubtfire knitting in the living area of the bus.
"Thank you for bring her back, you may leave now."
`Who does woman think she is, oh yeah I'm going to do what I said before.' Krystal bent down "well Alexanderia try and have fun and I will see you tomorrow morning" and she gave Alexanderia a hug and Alexanderia hugged back.
When Krystal got up and left Alexanderia ran to the window to watch her walk away, leaving her alone with Mrs. Doubtfire.
"Get away from that window and get back to work."
When Howie and AJ got to their bus they barely had enough energy to get to their room. They took off their clothes and crawl into bed. AJ pulled Howie closer to him and closed his eyes and went to sleep.
But sleep didn't come that easily to Howie, Howie couldn't sleep he was thinking about Alexanderia. This was the first time since she came to live with them that she wasn't there. She was with them 24/7 and Howie got used to that. Even in the night she would end up sleeping with them. Howie now knew how mothers feel when they have to leave their children behind.
Howie finally went to sleep about an hour later only to be woken up by his cell phone.
"Hello"
"Yes, Mr. Dorough this is Mrs. Doubtfire I think that there is something wrong with Alexanderia."
Howie jumped up which cause AJ to do the same he mouths the words "what's going on?
Not paying attention to AJ he went back to talking with Mrs. Doubtfire "what do you mean?" Howie could hear crying and screaming in the background.
"Is that Alexanderia crying in the background?"
"Yes, I think something is wrong with her."
"We'll have the buses stop and we will be there in 2 minutes." Howie pushes end and turned to AJ.
"We got to get the buses to stop there is something wrong with Alexanderia."
"Oh my God" said AJ jumping up and putting clothes on and he went to tell Jim to tell all the buses to stop. Jim didn't ask any questions because he knew whatever it was it had to be important because they didn't stop the buses for anything.
When the bus came to a stop Howie and AJ jumped off the bus and ran to Mrs. Doubtfire. The other guys followed wondering what was going on. Kevin was getting ready to lecture them but saw the look of worry in their faces and decided against it.
They could hear Alexanderia's screaming and crying from outside the bus.
"What the hell is going on in there?" said Brian. Everyone looked at Brian for a minute. Brian never swore unless he was scared or angry but they didn't have time to dwell on this.
AJ banged on the bus door and the bus driver open the down. All five of them ran on the bus. Alexanderia was on one of the couches holding her right arm screaming and crying. Her right arm was three times the size of her left arm. Howie and AJ ran to her, Alexanderia wouldn't let them touch her arm. Howie picked her up trying to calm her down. AJ turned to Mrs. Doubtfire.
"What the hell happened?"
"I don't know I was sleeping then all of sudden I heard crying and at first I didn't come out because I thought that she was missing you guys and I thought that she would stop. But she didn't then she started yelling and I came out and found her like this. So I decided to call you guys."
"Babe, we need to take her to the hospital."
"Yeah, I know. Let's take her back to our bus and we pull into the next town and find and find a hospital there." AJ turned to Mrs. Doubtfire "we are not done when Alexanderia has been seen by a doctor we will finish our talk."
The guys left Mrs. Doubtfire's bus and they all went on Howie and AJ's bus. Nick, Kevin and Brian knew that Howie and AJ needed them.
Jim was shocked when he saw Alexanderia's arm.
"Is she okay Howie?"
"I'm not sure Jim, we need you to pull into the next town and find a hospital."
"Yeah sure thing, I hope she's okay."
"Me, too."
Jim radio the other drivers and they were off looking for a hospital in the next town. Leaving Alexanderia crying and screaming in pain.
