Note: Just a little after-the-movie thing I came up with when I was bored...
Disclaimer: I don't own the movie or any of the characters. ^^
Little Natalie was being troublesome again. A "campfire" in the backyard nearly set the house on fire, and her dad was starting to worry.
"I just don't know what's happening anymore!" He ran a hand through his hair before turning back to his girlfriend Lizzie. "You swear you never told her about Drop Dead Fred? Ever?"
She held up her hands defensively. "I never met your daughter before the day you lost your last nanny, Mickey! I swear!"
Natalie loved it when Lizzie visited because she was the only one who believed Fred existed. And, of course, Fred couldn't resist playing minor pranks on his previous charge.
"Don't worry," he said to Natalie as he hoisted the bucket of water. "It won't hurt her—only surprise her."
Natalie relented, then led the unsuspecting woman into the trap.
Fred shouted, "Bombs away!" as he pulled the rope, pouring several gallons of water on Lizzie's head.
"Fred says he got you, Snotface," Natalie giggled, using Fred's nickname for her.
"You shouldn't call people names," Lizzie said, scooping her up and getting her wet. "It's not nice."
Of course, the new nanny walked in and yelled at them for making a mess. Fred made sure to think up an extra-special prank for her that evening.
Lizzie, understanding Natalie's position all too well, helped Mickey cope with the mischievous pranks that almost always seemed to cause damage.
Finally, after a few months, Mickey and Lizzie got married (to which Fred gave a vehement "YUCK!"), which got rid of the need for nannies altogether. It wasn't long after that that Drop Dead Fred was no longer needed by Natalie, and so he said farewell to his new friend and his old friend.
Please review!
