"Well this is just great." Mrs. Irwin complained, hanging up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Her husband asked.

"Our sitter just called, shes sick and can't watch the boys tonight." She sighed. "We'll have to cancel."

"But we've been planning this double date for a month!" Liz gasped.

"I know, but who can we call to watch Luke and Ashton?" Mr. Hemmings asked.

Someone knocked on the door.

Mrs. Irwin opened it to see two teenage boys smiling up at her.

"Hi, my names Ash- uh, Aaron, and this is my partner...Lee." One said. "We just started a babysitting service and-"

"You're hired." Liz said.

Two minutes ago

"Well this is just great." Ashton complained, stepping out of the time machine. "You broke it!"

"I did not! I was fixing it but then you started it up before I was done!" Luke snapped, waving the smoke away from his face.

"Where are we?" Ashton asked, looking around the street. "Hey, is that my house?"

"Our houses!" Luke exclaimed. "But are we in the past or the future?"

"Look!" Ashton gasped, slapping Luke in shock.

Luke glared at him but followed Ashton's gaze to two little boys who were playing outside.

"Is that us?" Luke cooed. "I was so fucking adorable. And still am."

"Oh shut up." Ashton rolled his eyes. He saw four adults talking through the window and he pulled Luke behind a tree before they were spotted. "Hey, our parents!"

"What are they talking about?" Luke asked, peering around them.

"Well they're all dressed up. Must be going on a date." Ashton figured.

"They look stressed, did the sitter cancel or something?" Luke frowned.

"Probably. Hey, let's go ask to babysit ourselves!" Ashton exclaimed.

"What, no! That's dangerous!" Luke gasped. "Stop being so irresponsible!"

"Oh come on, what could go wrong?" Ashton ran to the door and knocked. "This will be fun!"

"Ashton stop it! God, can't you be reasonable for once? We need to fix the machine so we can go home!" Luke snapped.

"Fuck off." Ashton growled. "You're no fun anymore."

"One of us had to grow up." Luke muttered.

-

"Well dis just gweat." Five year old Ashton huffed.

He looked down at Luke, who had his leg stuck down a rabbit hole. "Now how we play school?"

"Sowwy, jus' wanted to see if Babbit was dere." Luke poked his tongue out as he tried lifting himself out. "Ashy help his Lu!"

Ashton sighed and bent down, grabbing Luke's onesie. He tried pulling his friend out, but he wasn't strong enough yet. "Ugh! Lu! Why Lu do dis?"

"Missed the Babbit." Luke cried.

"Hey boys, what are you guys doing?" A voice asked.

The kids turned to see two boys walking over. "Ashy's Lu falled in hole!" Ashton complained.

The blonde groaned into his hands while the curly haired one laughed loudly. "I remember that!"

"Shut up." Blonde whined. He walked over to little Luke and pulled him out. "You missed the Babbit, didn't you?"

Luke nodded and sucked his thumb.

"Who you?" Ashton asked, sitting on the grass and tilting his head.

"You can call me Fletcher." 'Aaron' said.

"And I'm Robert." 'Lee' said.

"Hey! Ashy has Fletcher name too!" Ashton gasped. "And Lukey has Robert name!"

"Pft, whaa? So weird and random and a total coincidence." Robert laughed nervously.

Fletcher shook his head. "You're so obvious."

"Oh no!" Luke suddenly cried from the ground. "Falled in again!"

Fletcher burst out laughing while Robert sighed and went to pull him out.

-

"So, what do you guys wanna do?" Fletcher asked as they went inside.

"Play with dolly!" Luke shreiked.

"Yas yas, taked turns with dolly!" Ashton nodded. "Lukey always go first cos he's Ashys fav Lukey!"

Robert blushed and looked away while Fletcher coughed awkwardly.

"Fletchy give Robby kissies like how Ashy kissies his Lu too?" Ashton asked.

He grabbed an unsuspecting Luke and pulled him in for a kiss. Luke giggled and blushed.

Fletcher smiled slightly while Robert rubbed his blushing cheeks.

"Remember the Barbie?" Robert remembered as they went to the bedroom. The older versions sat on the bed while the younger kids pulled out the dolly.

"And when you freaked out because Calum bit it?" Fletcher recalled with a smile.

"I got even by hitting him." Robert giggled.

"Was not nice, Lewkas." Fletcher smiled.

"Hey." Ashton pouted up at them. "Ashy said dat yes'day!"

Robert hit Fletcher. "Don't be obvious!"

Luke played with the doll, making it play in the Barbie house. "Dis is Lukeys special doll."

"I'm not being obvious." Fletcher hissed. He sat beside Luke. "Why is it special?"

"Cos Lu's Ashy gived it to Lu!" Luke giggled. He kissed the doll and hugged it tightly.

Fletcher looked around uncomfortably while Roberts cheeks heated up once again.

"Ashy!" Luke suddenly cried.

Ashton came running over and hugged Luke. "S'matter Ashys Lu?"

"Am hungry." Luke sniffed.

"We'll get you guys some snacks." Robert said, standing up.

"Yeah." Fletcher followed him to the kitchen.

"Wow...I forgot how close we were as kids." Robert mumbled as he grabbed two plastic cups.

"Yeah...I totally forgot about that doll."

"Remember when I cut your hair?" Robert giggled.

"It's still uneven!" Fletcher laughed.
"And remember when we dyed our hair pink?"

"Michael was so proud." Robert filled the cups with apple juice while Fletcher grabbed a box of graham crackers.

They went back upstairs and saw Ashton sitting on the bed, watching TV while Luke sat on his lap.

"Here you guys are." Fletcher handed them the snacks and sat behind them.

Robert sat beside him and they all watched cartoons, until Luke's cup fell to the floor.

They peered over to see that he had fallen asleep in Ashton's arms.

"Sh!" Ashton hushed them. "Ashys Lu is sleeping!"

"Ill put him in his bed-"

"No!" Ashton gripped Luke tightly. "Can sleep with Ashy! No separate!"

"No separate." Fletcher smiled, pulling Robert back.

Robert sighed. "Okay, sure."

It wasn't that long later when Ashton fell asleep too.

"We still need to fix the machine." Robert mumbled. "Need some tools."

"We got time. They won't be home for a few more hours." Fletcher yawned.

Robert slowly got up and slid into Fletchers lap. "Still fit."

Fletcher sleepily wrapped his arms around Robert. "Idiot, you always have."
