Asking
�It�s probably wrong of me to ask, but do you think I could stay with Dr. Oliver? I mean, he only lives four blocks from here, and I could pick up the mail. And he did say that he would like to sit for me once, although I�m really too old for a sitter.�
�We�ve taken care of the mail. Karone and Leo will pick it up and pay any bills. We�ll pay them back when we can.�
�Well, do you think I can?�
�I suppose it won�t hurt to ask. But, Kiya, for future reference, you don�t decide who you stay with. We do. Understand? And he did say he wanted to sit for you once�
�Yes, sir. I�m sorry.� Kiya cast her eyes down, and studied the table.
�I�ll call and ask.� Ashley said, handing Alexandria to Andros, and getting up and going to the phone. She looked Dr. Oliver�s number up in the phone book. She dialed, and when Dr. Oliver picked up, said: �Hi, Dr. Oliver. We have...quite a favor to ask of you.�
�Yes, it is about Kiya.�
�Well, we were wondering if she could stay with you while we go to Aquitar and help fight the monsters. You see, Billy Cranston...Oh, you know about it? Well, can you keep her at your house?�
�We�re leaving in a week.�
�We really don�t know when we�ll be back. We�ll contact Karone and Leo on our Astromorphers when we know when we�ll be back. Do you think you can keep Kiya for quite some time?�
�Well...Let�s say a week at first. We�ll tell Karone if it�s going to be longer. She�ll be our messenger.�
�Oh, wonderful, Dr. Oliver. I�m sure she�ll be well- behaved.� Ashley glanced at Kiya on that note, and Kiya enthusiastically nodded yes.
�She�s nodding yes.�
�Oh, that�s sweet, Dr. Oliver, but we still have a week before we have to go.�
�Yes, we know where the other children will be.�
�My parents, Carlos and Cassie, and Leo and Karone.�
�We decided that all of them at once would be too many kids, since they have Leland, Leonard, Kelly, and Kathy.�
�Well, actually, all the other kids have one other sibling staying with them, but Kiya is the eldest, so I don�t think she really minds being separated. Besides, all of us didn�t come into her life until two years ago.�
�Well, okay, then it�s settled. She�ll go home with you this Friday.�
�We�ll be leaving Friday. I�m sure she�ll be a little shy at first, since this is her first time away from home since we adopted her without us being only a phone call away.�
�Bye, Dr. Oliver.�
�Oh, I�ll be sure to tell her. And we�ll send a list of any allergies and bedtime routines to school with her on Friday.�
Here, Andros remembered something.
�Ashley! We may be called away sooner, remember?�
