I don't own anything; Steven Moffat owns everything, even though he is not careful with his characters.
For Chloé, the biggest Sherlock fan I know.
It all started when the Holmes children were back from school for the summer.
Melody had been looking for something to do since she'd got home the week before. At 14 she was the youngest Holmes child. Her brothers, Mycroft, who was 22, and Sherlock, who was 15, were in their rooms. Melody knocked on Sherlock's door "Sherlock!" she called.
"Go away I'm playing" Sherlock shouted before starting to play his violin. Melody left him and went to Mycroft's door "Mycroft can I come in?" Melody asked softly.
"Only for a second" Mycroft called. Melody went in and closed the door, just like Mycroft liked it. He was sitting at his desk reading. Melody sat on the neatly made bed "I'm so bored" she told her brother.
"So is everyone sister of mine" Mycroft said.
"How's university?" Melody asked.
"Very interesting" Mycroft told her.
"Are you going to be a politician?"
"No I'm going to be the government" Mycroft said "How's school?"
"Ugh" Melody said falling back on the bed.
"That good" Mycroft said sarcastically.
"Why are people so slow?" Melody asked her brother.
"Because they're idiots like Sherlock" Mycroft said. Melody smiled. "The girls in my dorm are idiots" Melody said.
"Don't worry about it" Mycroft said. Melody nodded "I have to write an essay on the abuse laws" Mycroft said. Melody took the hint and left. When she reached Sherlock's room, she heard that the music had stopped. She went in "Melody, you have to knock first!" Sherlock exclaimed as Melody sat in the armchair in the corner of his room. "No one listens, Sherlock" she said calmly.
"Well you should" Sherlock said moving his music around on his music stand "I might have a girl with me"
"As if" Melody laughed.
"I might?" Sherlock exclaimed.
"Sure" Melody said sarcastically "Why do you still have that?"
"What?" Sherlock asked.
"That flag" Melody said gesturing at the pirate flag on the fire place.
"I just haven't got rid of it" Sherlock said casually.
"I do it for you" Melody said reaching forward and taking the flag, she was about to snap it when Sherlock exclaimed "No!"
"What you don't need it" Melody said smiling.
"Just give it to me" Sherlock said lunging at his sister.
"Get off" Melody shouted.
"Give it to me!" Sherlock shouted.
"No!" Melody screamed as Sherlock pulled her curls.
"Melody!" Sherlock screamed.
"You idiot!" Melody yelled.
"I hate you!" Sherlock screamed at his sister.
"Will you two shut up!" Mycroft shouted standing in the door. Sherlock and Melody stopped fighting. Melody had one leg over the arm of the chair and Sherlock had her wrist in his hand. "Sherlock let her go" Mycroft instructed. Sherlock stood up, Melody sat upright in the chair. "Now if you two could possibly stop acting like toddlers" Mycroft said calmly.
"She took me flag" Sherlock whined. Mycroft rolled his eyes "Give it back to him" Mycroft said. Melody gave Sherlock his flag back grudgingly. "Now go back to your room" Mycroft said to Melody. She didn't move. Mycroft grabbed her arm and pulled her up and pushed her out the door "I hate you both" Melody shouted slamming her bedroom door. Sherlock slammed his bedroom door, leaving Mycroft standing on the landing by himself "God I hate them" he said before going into his room and slamming the door. The Holmes children sat in their rooms hating each other, as usual.
