Chapter 1: He wanted to be a Pirate

Alice Holmes was in her bedroom reading a magazine when her youngest son, Sherlock burst into the room, crying.

"Oh god…" Alice muttered as she put down the magazine. "What is it now, dear?" She sighed.

"Mummy! Mummy!" Sherlock sobbed. "Mycroft said I wasn't a pirate!"

"Mycroft!" Alice yelled. "Come up here for a minute!"

"I am a pirate mummy, I am!"

"Yes I know you are, dear."

A minute later Mycroft entered the room.

"I didn't say he wasn't a pirate." He protested, as he entered the room.

"You did too!" Sherlock sobbed.

"I told him that there are no pirates in the 20th century, that's all. I didn't actually say that he wasn't a pira-"

"That's enough Mycroft." Alice told him. "Apologise to your brother."

"Why? He should be apologising to be me! He's the one who made his 'Pirate Ship' out of my bed sheets. He also used my ruler as a sword and broke it! Anyway he's never going to actually be a pirate! I mean, it's not like when you go to college you can go do a degree in piracy."

A look of shock crossed Sherlock's face.

"Mycroft!" Alice exclaimed. Then whispered, "He's six!"

Sherlock started sobbing again. "I am a pirate!"

"You're not a pirate!" Mycroft retorted.

"BOYS!" Alice yelled.

They both stopped and looked up immediately.

"Mycroft, apologise to your brother. Sherlock, don't use Mycroft's things for your next pirate voyage, ok?"

Mycroft muttered something and Sherlock nodded.

"Good. Now go outside and do something… productive."

Mycroft and Sherlock left the room. Alice sighed with relief. God, those two were a handful! Out in the corridor she heard Sherlock say: "Mummy said I'm a pirate!" and Mycroft groan: "Only so you would shut up." "

"No! Because I'm her favourite!"
"No you're not!"

"Yes I am!"

Alice sighed and got back to her magazine as another argument arose.

So there you have it. Kind of terrible but you know…

If you liked it please review it or something. If you didn't do what you want. If you want more, give me suggestions of more Sherlock, Mycroft scenes I could write.

Oh! And the disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. Arthur Conan Doyle does. And then everyone else who ever made an adaptation of Sherlock does. (Apart from all the other fanfictions obviously.)
