TimeBomb in Gmod 16

_"Come here, Fweddie!!" Sally called from the other side of the lawn. The allosaurous turned its attention away from Timebomb and tromped after the waffle-loving girl.
_"Hey, hon, I'm Mama Gertrude," said a red-haired lady in a green sweater, as she came over and helped TimeBomb to his feet. "Sally said you wanted to join the Acachalla Family?"
_"I don-"
_"Of course, I should probably ask Papa before I adopt any more kids, but I'm sure mind if..." Gertrude continued on. "But I mean, when does Acachalla give actually give permission to get more kids? Ha ha."
_She began to make her way towards the house. TimeBomb started to go the other way, but Mama Gertrude hooked her crowbar onto his backpack as she walked.
_"What- but I-"
_"Come on inside! I need to find those adoption forms we forged." She invited pleasantly.
_"Hey!" TimeBomb protested.
_Gertrude pulled him into the kitchen and released her crowbar-hold on his bag so she could shuffle through a drawer full of forged papers.
_"...uh, am I not a bit old for being adopted?" TimeBomb said nervously.
_"Of course not!" Gertrude said without looking up. "We've adopted kids much older than you before! In fact, I think Spencer might be the youngest we have...Oh, but I guess he's not technically adopted. In fact, Papa doesn't even like us to talk about him... but since he's the smart one, we still need him in big emergencies."
_Timebomb had only seen a small glimpse of this family trying to adopt him, but from what he had seen and heard so far, things like dying, nukes, and giant vicous Herbert Dinky dinosaurs were the normal things. "What kind of big emergencies?" he asked.
_"Oh, you know..." Mama Gertrude began throwing papers out of the drawer in her search. "Advertisement ghosts, dragons, holes in the dimension, internet and TV failures... where did I put those adoption forms?!"
_A small slip of paper, thrown out of the drawer, landed on the table in front of TimeBomb. It looked a little like the Pre-War money Cywren constantly ignored, but then he realized it was drawn in crayon, and the picture was of a fat, bald mad with a beard, grinning as if he was the greatest thing the world could imagine, and scribbled under the picture was the words, 'Papa Acachalla Dollar' 
_TimeBomb stared at it. That was Papa Acachalla? ugh.  He looked like the kind of guy Cywren would not like at all. TimeBomb shuddered and marched stiffly out of the room.
"I do NOT want to be adopted!"
