Disclaimer:I don't own Community, and the character of Jenna is free game.
Jeff is head down on the study table mk II, sleeping. The rest of the Save Greendale committee walks into the room.
“I see someone has gotten use to parenting.” Shirley said.
Jeff moans as he starts waking up. He blinks a few times as the group sits down. He is a mess.
“Can you guys believe I actually prefer living in my car then living with family? I had to spend the whole night getting her school stuff and listening to Thrift Shop being played in a thrift shop. They don’t have to brag about finally being a pop culture reference.” Jeff said.
“Well if you need some space from Jenna, you can join me and the guys for poker tonight. Even the Dean is coming.” Abed said.
“Wait, how come I’m the last to know?” Jeff asks.
“I sent a text but then realized Jenna still has your phone.” Abed said.
“I switched to family plan.” Jeff said. Abed looks at Jeff with a poker face. “Alright, I had to buy a new one.” Abed smiles. “I’m game for tonight.”
“Jeff, you’re going to go out and spend the night getting drunk while you leave Jenna at home?” Annie asks angered by how quickly Jeff response was.
“She’s 17. I expect her to sneak out, have a good time and come back around 4am thinking I’m waiting for her in the dark next to the lamp.” Jeff said.
“Well since you’re not going to take care of her tonight, I guess I will.” Annie said.
“I’ll be joining you.” Britta said. Everyone looks at her. “What, I’ve read the babysitter’s club. I am just as able to take care of her too.” She said.
“Well seeing how this is turning into a girl’s night. Shirley, you want to come?” Annie asks.
“Oh that’s nice. Sorry, I can’t. Andre is letting me host the boy’s sleepover tonight. They might bring their female friends so I want to make sure that they know I’ve haven’t lost my strict motherly touch.” Shirley said.
“Then it’s settled, we’ll be there at 6pm. Can you tell Jenna when you see her?” Annie said.
“She’s over there on the couch.” Jeff said, pointing to the couches on the other side of the study room. The group looks over to where Jeff is pointing revealing Jenna lying on the couch.
“Hi.” She said having heard the entire conversation.

Jeff lets in Annie and Britta into his apartment. Jenna is watching TV on the couch. Annie is carrying shopping bags fill with home decorations. She starts decorating the apartment. Jeff gives Britta a note.
“Here is all the information you need to know about her. This contains her allergies, likes, dislikes and a list of emergency contacts.” He said.
“Why is Leonard’s number listed?” Britta asks looking at the note.
“Can you imagine Leonard’s reaction if he has to take care of someone related to me?” Jeff said. He starts getting ready to
leave. “Alright you ladies have fun. Oh and Jenna, text me the moment Britta tries to take back her panties from my safe.” He said as he shuts the door.
“Ok, have fun.” Jenna replies still watching the TV.
Annie has finished putting the house decorations in Jeff’s apartment. She blocks Jenna’s view of the TV.
“So who’s up for Yahtzee?” Annie said holding the board game.

Jeff, Abed, Hickey, Duncan, Chang and Dean Craig Pelton are at Abed and Annie’s apartment, sitting at the dinner table. Abed is dealing out cards as everyone is drinking. Pelton is joyful as he looks at his cards. His smile quickly fades.
“I’m going to fold.” He said.
“We just started. How bad of a hand do you got.” said Chang. He looks at the cards that Dean folded. He slowly places the cards down. “Nice wildcards.” He said at the grief of Pelton’s hand.
“Wait you put jokers in the deck?” Hickey asks.
“I wanted to make this night more special. Usually this night would be a perfect excuse to reenact Rounders, 21, or Marverick but seeing how Jeff has suddenly been Game Planned. I feel that this night could end like Cinncinati Kid.” Said Abed.
“Ok, enough Abed. I’m going to spend an actually evening without worrying about my niece because tonight I’m not responsible for her.” Jeff said as he takes a drink from his scotch.

“This is boring!” Jenna moans. The Yahtzee board is laid out on the table. Annie and Britta are sitting down on the floor with Jenna trying to play with her.
“Come on, Jenna. This isn’t so bad.” Annie said.
“Yes it is. I could have been spending the night trying to figure out Abed’s poker face. Instead, I’m here playing Yahtzee. I’m going to bed.” Jenna said as she stands up and then lay on the couch.
“Wait, you’re sleeping on the couch?” Britta asks.
“What? I use a sleeping mask.” Jenna said as she bust out a sleep mask from one of the couch cushion.
“No, why are you sleeping on the couch? Is Jeff treating you like an animal?” Britta asks angry. Her mind suddenly has an idea. “You’re sleeping in Jeff’s room.”
“What?” Jenna and Annie said together. Britta stands up, she points at Jenna.
“You’re going to sleep in Jeff’s room tonight. He is going to learn to treat you properly or else he is going to treat you like a dried up rag for the rest of your time here. It’s time you stand up to the man.” Britta said.
Jenna looks at Annie as she ask, “Is she always like this?”

The guys at Abed and Annie apartment are being dealt their cards but they are now missing pieces of their clothing. Duncan is missing his shirt, Hickey is missing his pants, Chang is wearing a sweat shirt and Jeff and Abed are only in their underwear and socks. The only member on the table with all his clothes is the Dean.
“Why did we agree to turn this into strip poker?” Jeff asks.
“Oh Jeffrey, don’t worry. One more game and then we can go back to normal.” Dean said as he places his hand on Jeff’s chest.

Britta is in Jeff’s bedroom removing his bed sheets. Annie rushes in.
“Britta, what are you doing with Jeff’s sheets?” Annie asks.
“I’m being civilized Annie, I’m getting rid of Jeff’s sheets and putting new ones on so Jenna can sleep on this love nest without feeling any weird arousal.” Britta said. She throws the sheets to Annie. “Where’s Jenna?”
“Oh I was helping her out with highlighting her hair. I’ll get her. Jenna?” Annie said. Annie walks into the living room and sees the room empty with the door open. She drops the sheets. “Umm, Britta.” She said.

The doorbell rings as the door is open to reveal Jenna with a pillow and in her pajamas. The hair now has highlights of green and red. Shirley is surprise to see her.
“Hi, umm can I stay for the night.” Jenna asks tearful.
“Britta and Annie are driving you insane?” Shirley asks.
“Yeah” Jenna said.
“Well come on in.” Shirley said. Jenna walks into Shirley’s house. “But you’re sleeping on the couch tonight.”
“I’ll like that.” said Jenna.

Jeff and the Dean are walking together drunk down the hallway of their apartments, laughing at what has happened tonight at poker.
“I can’t believe you gave Abed the official seal to have a frat house in Greendale.” Jeff said.
“What can I said, he beat me with a pair of twos.” Dean said.
They laugh together as they reached Jeff’s apartment. Annie comes out of the apartment as they walk up.
“Alright. Good night Dean.” Jeff said as he pushes the Dean away.
“Jeff, I have something to tell you.” Annie said.
“Don’t worry Jenna is at Shirley’s. She texted me the moment she left here.” Jeff said.
“Jeff, that’s what I want to talk about. I know I bugged you about how to raise Jenna but I’m just as bad at it like you are.” Annie said.
Jeff laughs. He pulls out his phone and gives her the phone.
“Here. Read the rest of the text”
Annie takes the phone and reads the text on Jeff’s phone.
It said, “And tell Annie, srry about 2nite. She reminds me of mom. That’s a good thing. :D” Annie smiles as she gives back Jeff his phone.
“Don’t worry about it that much, I’ll give it a week. Then if she still doesn’t open up, I’ll give her to Leonard.” said Jeff. “Where’s Britta?” He asks.
“She fell asleep in your room.” Annie said.
Jeff turns to the Dean and asks, “Dean, can I sleep on your couch?”
Craig is touch by this as he smiles.
