Ruby lay on the changing table, staring up at the strange robotic figure with wide, bewildered silver eyes. The mechanical nanny's unmoving smile and glowing green eyes made Ruby tilt her head from side to side.
Then she noticed Penny being placed on the other table.
Ruby's eyebrows lifted.
"Uh...?"
She pointed toward Penny, clearly trying to make sense of what she was seeing.
"P puh Penny...? Is p puh penny ah baby?"
The situation seemed completely backwards to Ruby. Penny was supposed to be the caretaker, not the one being treated like a baby!
Ruby looked back up at the nanny robot, her expression becoming increasingly confused.
"Am I... ah baby too?"
She blinked.
"Ba... baby?"
Ruby's confused expression softened into innocent bewilderment as she began babbling under her breath.
"Ba-ba... buh-buh... da-da..."
She looked between Penny and the nanny again.
"Pwease... what happenin'...?"
Ruby's head tilted once more as she stared at the robot, apparently waiting for someone to explain why everything had suddenly become so strange.
