## Transcript:

On a spring day, Ricky, Roger, and Kevin were looking through old family albums.

Ricky: And that’s Roger and me at the beach 3 years ago…

Roger: Ugghhh… I HATE the beach. Our dads made me sit in the shade with them while Ricky got to go swimming…

Ricky turned the page.

Ricky: I remember this! Our dads remember this day like it was yesterday - and now so do I!

Ricky: It was June 2039… My dads were wanting a baby…

~ ~ ~

June 2039:

Robert: But Riley, there ARE no egg donors around here! Adam already told me so himself!

Riley: Fine. But I really, really want a baby to share with you. Wouldn’t that be cool?

Robert: I guess it would be cool to have a baby try our cooking.

Riley: Or become chefs themselves.

Robert: Or meet my ancestors.

Riley: Or defeat Zhan Tiri!

Robert: Yes, that’s perfect! But maybe we could adopt. Your moms adopted you.

Riley: Yeah… But I really want our baby to come from us. Lisa told me she was able to conceive a baby for Luna and Sam using science...and some of Lincoln’s DNA.

Robert: That’s perfect! But where would we find a scientist to do that?

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Robert and Riley opened it.

It was David and Greg.

David: Robert, Riley. We need some of your homemade strudel.

Greg: Turns out, Zhan Tiri actually LIKES your cooking. Yeah, she can’t get enough of that grape cake you made.

David: So, if you don’t mind giving us a portion to send to 1520…

Robert: Maybe some other time, lil bro. There’s an emergency.

Greg: Like Zhan Tiri time traveling to 2039 and sucking the Earth’s oxygen all into herself?!

Riley: MUCH more dire!

Robert: We really want a baby!

David: And? Just adopt! There’s a whole foster home of sad, disadvantaged children you can take care of. Winston and Francis built it and took in all the children themselves!

Robert: I know. But Riley and I would like the baby to really come from us.

Riley: Almost like we gave birth to them…

Robert: But didn’t, since it’s impossible for two guys to get pregnant.

Greg: I think I see where you’re going with this…

David: Yeah! Follow us…

~ ~ ~

David and Greg lead Robert and Riley to Greg’s room in his house.

Robert: We’ve seen your room, Greg. It’s not that impressive.

Greg: Oh, but look in my closet!

Greg opened his closet and headed inside.

David, Robert, and Riley followed.

Riley: But your clothes here are quite impressive! Just look at this jacket!

Riley held up a white leather jacket.

Greg: Ahhh, but my closet is just the beginning…

Greg pushed a red button on the wall of his closet.

A big sliding glass door suddenly appeared.

Greg opened it.

Greg: Follow me.

David, Robert, and Riley followed Greg.

Through the door was a big room full of scientific equipment and a fashion designing studio.

Greg: Welcome to my lab!

David: Greg and I have been completing many experiments to cure cancer, end world hunger, make time travel more easy and efficient, and finally RULE THE WORLD!

Greg: Well, I don’t really wanna rule the world. BUT we can solve your little baby problem.

David: You see, we’ve been working on a prototype. Because we traveled BACK in time to when Ruby and Phillium got married, and found out that she can’t reproduce…

Robert and Riley looked confused.

David unveiled a baby head underneath a plastic tarp.

David: Introducing our new invention - android babies who have the exact same genes as their parents AND who have real life human functions.

Greg: Yeah! These babies can do it all! They can eat, sleep, get wet, pee, poop, have emotions, and they look JUST like real human beings.

David: AND they can age too. They won’t stay little screaming, crying babies forever.

Robert and Riley sighed with relief.

Robert: When can we get one?

David: We’ll make you one…

Greg: But it’ll cost you…

Robert: But we don’t even have our wallets on us right now…

David: Not with money! But with food.

Greg: Zhan Tiri will just keep hassling US until she gets a Robert and Riley original.

David: So, a dozen snickerdoodles, please.

Riley: Fine. What about the baby?

David: Oh, the baby! Will be done in about 4 weeks.

Greg: Just bring us some snickerdoodles to pay us then.

Robert: Alright. Just text us your progress!

Riley: We can’t wait to meet the little thing!

David: Will do! In the meantime, just eat, sleep, and enjoy yourselves.

Greg held up 2 tickets to Sonny Munroe’s reunion concert.

Greg: I know how much you loved her music when you two were looking after us when David and I were in high school… So here. Two tickets to Sonny’s reunion concert that’s being held in the Royal Woods opera house.

Robert and Riley grabbed the tickets.

Robert: Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!

David: Also, here’s another little something…

David handed Robert and Riley a time-traveling wristwatch.

David: Time travel to your heart’s content! Defeat Zhan Tiri again and again and again, attend Varian and Cassandra’s wedding again and again and again, go live out all the historical dates discussed in your high school’s history class. Live it up!

Riley: Thanks! Come on, Robert. We gotta get ready for that concert!

Robert and Riley left.

Greg: Okay. Now let’s get started on that baby!

David: Way ahead of you!

Back in the present day…

Kevin: So...you and Roger are androids?

Ricky: Yeah! But I haven’t even gotten to the best part!

Kevin shrugged as Ricky picked up where he left off.

Ricky: So, anyways…

June 20, 2039:

Robert and Riley got an alert on their phones from David and Greg saying that their new baby is done.

Riley: Let’s go check out the new baby!

Robert and Riley hopped in their car and drove off to Greg’s house.

They went into Greg's laboratory to see David and Greg holding a baby boy that looks really similar to Robert.

Greg: Meet your new android son, Robert and Riley.

David: You can choose the name…

Greg: But we came up with some great ones.

David: Yep. You can choose from Varian, Eugene, Victor, Toby, Lance, Cameron, Chad, Nico, Grady, Ricky, Roger, and Adam.

Robert: We pick Ricky. Thank you.

Robert picked up the baby.

Ricky: Da-das!

Riley: Oh, look Robert! He said his first words!

Robert: I know! Awwww!

David: Enjoy yourselves!

~ ~ ~

Back in the present day…

Roger: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, YEAH! Now let me tell you about MY birth story!

Ricky: But I’m not even done yet! Our dads took me to 1501 and taught me how to stand up to Zhan Tiri. They taught me how to cook. I got to taste ALL their latest recipes! My baby years were AWESOME!

Roger: Blah, blah, blah, blah! Kevin, you’ll love MY birth story MORE!

Kevin: Sure, Roger. How did YOU get created?

Roger: Well… It was a spring day in early April… Our dads were getting BORED of Ricky already, so they wanted David and Greg to make ANOTHER baby…

~ ~ ~

Robert: Riley, you know what we need?

Riley: What?

Robert: We need another baby!

Riley: Oh yeah… Ricky’s already 3 years old and hasn’t made a single friend his own age. I’m thinking he’s a bit lonely.

A young Ricky came up to his dads.

Ricky: Take me to 1500! I wanna play with our ancestors.

Robert: Well, maybe later, sweetie. Your father and I have to run a few errands.

Riley: Besides. What about that nice boy we met at the park? What was his name again? Oh yeah. Kevin!

Ricky: But I don’t like Kevin! He’s weird!

~ ~ ~

Back in the present day…

Kevin: HEY! WE actually met as tots! And you thought I was WEIRD?!

Ricky: Oh, Kevin. How wrong I was. How wrong I was…

Kevin: Well, right now we ARE made for each other!

Ricky and Kevin both hugged and kissed.

Roger: ENOUGH!! I am telling my story!!

Ricky: Okay, okay, okay.

Kevin: Then what happened next?

~ ~ ~

Robert and Riley both arrived at Greg’s house.

They rang the doorbell.

Greg opened the door.

Greg: Robert! Riley! I wasn’t expecting you! Come on in!

Robert and Riley came in.

Greg: So, how can I help you two?

Robert: Well… Riley and I were wondering if you and David could make us another android baby.

Greg: Another baby?! That factory is closed. David is already preoccupied with his own kids, and… Ruby and Phillium already have an adorable daughter named Lilly!

Riley: But we NEED another baby. We think Ricky’s a little lonely…

Robert: He needs a sibling he can bond with. If I didn’t have you, David, Adam, Henry, Lizzie, and Emma to bond with as well as Brittany, my childhood would’ve been extremely lonely.

Greg: Okay! Fine! You’ll have to wait a few weeks, though. It’ll take a while to complete the lil baby, ya know…

Robert: Okay, okay. What gifts do you have for us this time?

Greg: None this time. I say just bond with Ricky.

Riley: Okay… We’ll show Ricky all of seasons 1-4 of So Random!

Robert: Let’s go!

Robert and Riley left.

Greg: Okay… this new baby might be harder to make without David…

~ ~ ~

Back in the present day…

Roger: Wait - so uncle David wasn’t even responsible for MY birth!

Ricky: Uh… The story?!

Roger rolled his eyes.

Roger: Right! So, anyways…

~ ~ ~

April 22, 2042:

Robert: Let’s see how our new baby is coming along!

Ricky overheard and entered.

Ricky: But I thought you were going to teach me how to make sushi!

Riley: Sorry. But remember that new baby we told you about?

Ricky nodded.

Riley: We need to pick him up from Greg’s house.

Ricky: Okay…

Robert and Riley left.

Ricky: I hope my new brother or sister will like cooking like me!

~ ~ ~

Meanwhile, at Greg’s house, Robert and Riley arrived and rang the doorbell.

Greg answered it.

Greg: Robert! Riley!

Robert: Our new baby. Is it done?

Greg: You know it! Come on in!

Robert and Riley came in and followed Greg to his laboratory.

Greg: Sorry if this place is a little messy. But your baby is right over here…

Greg went over to a table where a baby boy who looks a lot like Riley was sitting.

Riley: Oh, cool!

Robert: And I’ve been meaning to ask you… how do you even make these babies?

Greg: Oh, that is classified!

Greg winked.

Riley: Come on! We’re family!

Greg sighed.

Greg: Okay. Fine. David and I retrieved DNA from our babies’ parents… mix them all together in our new baby generator…

Greg pointed to a big machine.

Greg: And out pops a baby. BUT the machine takes a while to fully control, so we’ve gotten a few duds...and a few heads. That’s why you know it takes a few weeks for the results to show.

Riley: Thanks. Now for our baby?

Greg handed the baby to Robert and Riley.

Greg: Take extra good care of this one. He’s...really fussy.

Just then, the baby began crying.

Robert: No kidding!

Riley: But we’re going to name you Roger!

Riley booped the baby’s nose.

Roger cried some more.

Riley: Okay… So he doesn’t like the name Roger…

Robert: But WE like it. Let’s go introduce Roger to Ricky!

Riley: Great idea!

Robert and Riley left.

Greg: They’ll make a great family!

~ ~ ~

Robert and Riley made it home.

Robert and Riley came into the living room, where he could see Ricky watching So Random!

Ricky noticed his dads come in.

Ricky: It’s so cool you were in an episode of this show!

Robert: Yes. But we came to introduce to you, your new baby brother, Roger!

Riley sat Roger down next to Ricky.

Ricky: Woah, he’s so cool! I’ve always wanted a brother! Can we get a cat? Or a dog?!

Robert and Riley chuckled.

Robert: Maybe someday!

~ ~ ~

Back in the present day…

Roger: Well, that’s it! Ricky instantly took a liking to me. I don’t get why. I’ll become president one day and dump this stupid family!

Ricky: Now Roger - you don’t mean that!

Roger: HA! Just kidding! When I’m president, our dads and you will be part of my secret service! Or my maids…

Ricky thumped Roger with a pillow.

Roger: Hey, not the face!

Kevin: So, are you two REALLY androids created by your uncles? Or are you just messing with me?

Ricky: Oh, we are! Show him, Roger!

Ricky and Roger both took off their heads.

Kevin looked shocked, terrified, and awed.

Kevin: WOW! AWESOME! HOW?!

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Robert opened the door.

Mandee came in.

Mandee: I’m here to pick up Kevin. I KNEW he’d be here…

Robert: Come right in, treacherous she-beast.

Mandee rolled her eyes and came into the living room.

Kevin: MOM! Ricky and Roger are androids! That is the AWESOMEST, but CRAZIEST thing ever!

Mandee rolled her eyes.

Mandee: Riiiighht. And I’m a wizard who went to Hogwarts. Come on, Kevin. You’ve been watching waaay too many science-fiction movies…

Kevin: But-

Mandee: Let’s go.

Mandee and Kevin left.

Ricky and Roger began laughing.

Ricky: WOW! Kevin took that EXTREMELY well!

Roger: I know! The last friend I told that I’m an android actually DIED!

Ricky: Which is why I know Kevin is the one for me.

Ricky sighed dreamily and blushed as Roger rolled his eyes.
