Disclaimer : I love this movie, I love Bender and Claire, but I don't own any of them. Connie's mine though, you can't have her. :P
Chapter One : The Big News
Just do it, she thought to herself. You can do this.
Connie Bender took a deep breath, smoothed down her dirty blonde hair (which she did when she got nervous), and turned the doorknob to open the front door….
In all her 16 years, she had never been more uncertain of what to expect when she entered her house. Well, except for that one time, when her mom had told her when she left for school that her birthday cake would be ready and out of the oven by the time she got home.
But this was even bigger than a birthday cake.
She stepped inside, shut the door behind her and announced her presence, just like any other day.
"MOOOM! I'M HOOOME!"
Just down the front hall, directly in front of Connie, was a great view of her mother jumping in surprise and turning away from the kitchen sink.
Claire Bender breathed a sigh of relief and took her hand off of her heart.
"Connie! How many times do I have to tell you not to DO that!" Claire scolded as Connie
came into the kitchen.
"Sorry," Connie apologized, then she lowered her voice to a whisper. "Mom! I'm home!"
Claire smoothed back her red hair and rolled her eyes.
"You're so much like your father," she told her,"what a shame."
Connie smirked.
"Speaking of your father," Claire continued, "go wake him up from his nap after you've put your backpack in your room. Dinner's ready."
Connie nodded. She walked back out of the kitchen and trudged up the stairs.
Dinner, she thought. That's when I'll tell them.
But how would the benders react to their daughter getting Saturday detention?
Ooh! The suspense! How WILL Connie's parents react? Will the reaction be good, bad, ugly? TUNE IN!
And REVIEW please! This is my first story and I could really use the feedback!
