soon after I finished writing my last Bratz story "Clique vs. Clique" I came up with this idea and began writing "Adventures in Babysitting." The need to write Bratz fanfiction has run strong lately.
In this story I featured Bratz Babyz as well as Bratz Kidz. Obviously I had to make up some names because I couldn't keep using Yasmin, Cloe, Sasha, and Jade over and over again.
I hope you enjoy this story! Remember to leave a comment!
Chapter 1:
The Adventure Begins
One Saturday morning Sasha was sitting on her living room couch. Americas Best Dance Crew was on TV and her eyes were glued to her phone as she went back and forth between texting Yasmin and Instagram. She also felt absolutely fabulous with her slick straight black hair, burgundy jeans and gold crop top, and perfect makeup.
Her mother came into the room carrying her baby cousin Sara. The little girl was 2 years old and had her hair in two curly pigtails as she held her stuffed bunny. They were taking care of her for a few days while Sasha's cousin and her husband were out of town.
"Hey Sasha, I have to go into the office today. Would you mind taking care of Sara?"
"Babysitting all day isn't something that really excites me mom," Sasha replied not looking up from her phone.
"It's only for today Sasha. I'll be back around 8," her mother tried again.
"Isn't there a nice old lady up the street that can take care of her?"
"Come on Sasha, it'll be a good lesson in responsibility for you."
Sasha rolled her eyes. Did her mom not realize who she was talking to? "Mom I'm student body president and captain of the cheerleading team. I think I know what responsibility is."
Her mom decided it was time to be firm. She often tried to be lenient with Sasha, but her daughter was just too hard headed just like her father. "Sasha, I am your mom and I'm telling you to babysit Sara for for the day."
Sasha put down her phone and sighed. She knew when her mom got all serious like that there was nothing she could do. "Fine."
"Good," her mom said putting a smile back on her face. She put Sara on the couch next to Sasha. "It won't be that bad. You two are going to have fun. I'll see you at 8." With that she left the house.
Sasha stared at Sara as she sipped her Starbucks latte. She couldn't believe she was stuck with her for the day. Suddenly her phone buzzed again and she saw a text from Yasmin.
Where r u? We're leaving in a few.
The girls were going shopping that day to get cute new outfits for Ethan's party tomorrow night. Her mom didn't realize that she had totally just ruined her life. She decided she'd better call her friends to let them know what's going on.
Then she noticed Sara trying to grab her coffee.
"What are you doing?" She said.
"I want it!" Sara said.
"You can't have coffee," Sasha said pulling it away.
"But I want it!" Sara said still trying to take it.
Sasha stood up. "You cannot have coffee." She picked up the remote and found a kids station. "watch Elmo, I've got to go make a call." She put the coffee on the dining room table then went upstairs to her room.
She sat on her bed with the silk leopard print sheets and dialed Yasmin's number.
"Chica where are you?!" Yasmin exclaimed. "We're leaving in like uno minuto!"
"Put Jade and Cloe on. I can't come," Sasha grumbled.
"What do you mean you can't come?!" Cloe exclaimed. "You do realize the party is tomorrow right?! We've got to be the most fabulous girls there!"
"Tell that to my mom. I'm stuck babysitting my cousin for the day," Sasha said.
"Damn that sucks," Jade said.
"But like, how are you going to get a new dress?" Cloe said.
Sasha sighed. It pained her to say this. "I guess you guys will just have to go without me."
"No way! We're not doing that!" Yasmin said. "Why don't you bring Sara over here to Jades house?"
"What...?" Jade said.
"Yeah that's a great idea!" Cloe said.
"No!" Jade exclaimed. "I don't wanna babysit!"
"It won't be that bad Jade," Yasmin said. "And we can all go to the mall together tomorrow morning."
"I'll see you guys in a few!" Sasha said. She hung up the phone happy that her friends didn't want to go shopping without her.
All of a sudden she heard something fall. She ran downstairs and found Sara on the dining room table and her latter on the floor. "What are you doing?! I told you that you couldn't have coffee!" Sasha said taking her off the table.
"But I wanted it!" Sara said.
"Forget it, we're going to Jade's house."
Sasha grabbed her bunny and diaper bag and took her out to the car.
