Jake could almost reach it! If he wasn't a baby girl version of himself he'd have it in a second but in his current from it was too far. Thankfully, he saw Rob lose interest in the camera and begin to suck his own toes. Jake felt relieved with more time but he still had to rush. He began stacking a teddy bear or two near the cabinet but it was all for nothing. Lucy walked back in, tickled Jake, and then left the room holding the camera.
Jake lost all hope. A woman who used to be a teenage boy had taken the camera. Maybe she'd store it deep in the attic or give it away or even throw it out. Jake was just a baby girl, what could he do? He couldn't talk and he basically couldn't walk. He sat in his, or rather her, diaper that used to be Jake's sister and began to silently cry.
It had been 4 hours since then and Jake was way passed sad and was now pissed and determined. He was sitting in a play pen with his former dad but he didn't care. He knew that camera had to be somewhere and he'd just have to find it. Until then, he figured he just had to play it cool until he found it again. He decided to "play the part" so that if the camera did appear he could make a scene to get it.
He was bored while shaking a rattle when Lucy came downstairs wearing a nice red dress. Jake still smirked whenever he saw her, because she still looked a lot like her old life Luke and seeing Luke in a dress with boobs was priceless. She looked around until she found her purse and then came over to kiss her babies.
"Don't worry babies, mommy is just going out for a little bit. We're gonna get you a fun little babysitter, yes we are!" She cooed at Rob.
Jake heard this and sighed. It was bad enough he was being manhandled by some altered versions of his family, but now he'd have to deal with someone close to his old age babying him. Nate came down in a nice suit and kissed Lucy. Jake looked away remembering who they were and then there was a knock at the door.
In walked Jake's worst fear, someone he knows. It was Kelly Chang, a nerdier girl who Jake sometimes talked with for homework help and tv show excitement. She wasn't a best friend but Jake still knew her and felt so embarrassed he wanted to curl up and vanish. She was a cute Asian American with short black hair and a cute rounded face. She had nerdy glasses and always dressed for success.
"Thanks for coming on such short notice Kelly." Lucy said.
"It's no problem Mrs. S, I just love those two cuties." Kelly said looking directly at Jake and Rob.
"Thank you dear. They've just been a little needy lately so we thought we'd hit the town." Nate said, sounding like a deeper version of Nancy, which threw Jake off once again.
The two parents began to walk out as Kelly approached the two babies as Lucy suddenly turned back.
"Oh, I almost forgot." She said as she walked over to a cabinet and pulled out the camera! Jake wanted to punch himself knowing that the camera had been so close. "If they do anything cute could you record it on this? I know it's old school but I want to have the physical pictures."
"No problem mam." Kelly said as she took the camera. The two walked out as Kelly placed the camera on the couch.
Jake's hope had shot through the roof. All he needed to do was do something cute and Kelly could take a picture of him. Jake waited a few minutes to think while Kelly held Roger and then he struck a cute pose. Kelly saw him and awed for a few seconds. She put Rob back down and grabbed the camera. Jake knew this was it. Now Jake, Rob, and Lizzy would change. His only hope was that he would become something that could get him the camera. Kelly took the picture, unaware of any changes as she looked at the photo.
