Rikki as a babysitter
Rikki Bennet is at Lewis and Cleo's house. Since Lewis has to go away to a big science-meeting and Cleo wanted to go with him, it's Rikki's job to babysit little 6 year old Mandy, Lewis and Cleo's daughter.
"Finally, some me-time..." says Rikki as she sit down in the big purple chair in Cleo's living room.
"Aunt Rikki! I can't sleep!" screams Mandy from her bedroom.
"Seriously? Oh shit!" says Rikki, who thought she'd get to relax a little and read Marc Joseph's new horror-novel while Mandy was asleep.
"I can't sleep..." says Mandy with a childish girly pout as Rikki enter the little girl's room.
"Come on! We've seen two movies, played video-games and I made you burgers. Please go to sleep. I need some Rikki-time here." says Rikki.
"Read me a bedtime-story." says Mandy.
"Sorry...I don't read bedtime-stories, Mandy." says Rikki with a calm friendly voice. "I've never even read one for my own daughter."
"Oh, can you sing for me then? You're a singer, right? And you have an awesome voice." says Mandy.
"Wow, thanks!" says Rikki, who's surprised that Mandy love her singing-voice.
Rikki begin to sing.
Sun is shinin' sky is so blue. Inside of you there are colors. Red and blue, a purple of two. Three green and a blue and a pink one.
Please, relax. Now sleep, little one. You shall forget every problem. Do not fear. I'm always right here.
So sleep and forget all the problems.
Yeah, just sleep and forget every problem.
A few seconds after the end of the song, Mandy is asleep.
"Aww, she's soo cute!" says Rikki in a soft low tone.
Rikki goes back out to the living room, sit down in the purple chair and start to read her book.
"Wonder if Jennifer survived the attack in the forest? Didn't seem like it in the previous book." says Rikki to herself.
Rikki has been looking forward to this book. It's called 'The darkness of yesterday' and is written by Marc Joseph, who's Rikki's favorite author of all times.
"Things looked pretty bad for Jennifer at the end of 'Secrets in the open' after the killer almost cut her throat off." says Rikki.
The next morning Rikki make breakfast for herself and Mandy.
"Yay! Your pancakes are the best!" says Mandy as she eat some of the strawberry and cream pancakes that Rikki has made.
"Better than your mommy's...?" says Rikki with a small smile.
"Yeah, mom's not that good with food." says Mandy with a small laugh.
"So Cleo's not that great in the kitchen...?" thinks Rikki to herself.
"You're cool, aunt Rikki." says Mandy.
"Want juice or milk?" says Rikki as she walk over to the fridge.
"Juice, please." says Mandy.
Cleo and Lewis has taught their daughter good manners so she always says please.
"One orange juice comin' up!" says Rikki.
Later that day Rikki write a song on her laptop while Mandy play some girly video-game.
"Shadows are comin' and I feel so sad..." says Rikki, reading some of the lyrics to her song loud to herself. "No they feel so sad, sounds better. When the time goes on the things get bad. The shadows are here now. Oh, yeah! The shadows...they...are here!"
Suddenly Rikki's cell phone beeps.
"Rikki speaking..."
"Hi, it's Cleo!"
"Hi, Cleo! How are you?"
"I'm fine, thanks! I hope Mandy is okey too."
"Oh, don't worry, Cleo. Your little Mandy's playing video-games right now."
"Thank God! I was afraid that something was wrong over there."
"Everything's good here, Cleo. I was gonna take Mandy down to the beach later."
"That sounds nice. Mandy love fishing, just like her dad. Mandy's got her own fishing-rod that Lewis bought for her last month, it's in her closet."
"Okey! I'll take Mandy to the beach for some fishing-time later then."
"Good! Thanks for lookin' after my little Mandy while Lewis and me are out of town, Rikki."
"No problem, Cleo."
"Okey! See you on Monday. Say hello to Mandy from me. Bye!"
"Bye, Cleo!"
"Who was that...?" says Mandy as Rikki put away her phone.
"That...was your mom!" says Rikki.
"Mommy!" says Mandy.
"She said hello." says Rikki.
"Mom's such a sweet lady." says Mandy.
"So, Mandy...wanna go to the beach later? Your mom told me you like fishing." says Rikki. "We could go to the beach so you can fish a bit."
"Yay!" says a very happy Mandy. "I totally love fishing!"
"Then we'll go to the beach later. Now I'm gonna take a shower. You can play video-games, okey?" says Rikki.
"Sure!" says Mandy.
Two hours later Rikki and Mandy walk along the beach to Lewis' favorite fishing-spot, Mandy with her pink fishing-rod in hand and a huge smile on her face.
"Me love to fish!" says Mandy. "Do you love it too, aunt Rikki...?"
"Not really." says Rikki with a friendly smirk.
"Okey." says Mandy.
"So your dad's taught you about fishing?" says Rikki.
"Yes! Dad's awesome at fishing." says Mandy.
