That Night

Hey people this is a oneshot for Troubador12's competition. This is Category A, and I guess I'm #4. Hope you like it.

7 Year Old Amy Cahill, her 4 year old brother Dan, and her parents, Hope and Arthur, were eating dinner, and laughing. Well, except for Dan. He was talking in typical 4 year old manner, about ninjas.

"An Den, The ninja swoop down and punch the bad man's face. He had red stuff pouwing out of his nose,Mama!" Dan sang, contentedly.

"Honestly, Dear." Hope sighed to her husband. "You had to let Dan watch that movie? He Wet his bed!"

"Darling" Arthur soothed "He's just a kid. Let him have his fun."

"Daddy! Ian and his wittle sister Natalie were mean to me! They called me a pathetic idiot. Daddy, what's a pathetic idiot?"Amy asked Arthur. She had just lost a tooth,and was hoping to get at least a quarter. She wanted to give it to Dan.

Arthur's face turned from a calm smile, to an angered look on his now red face. "Uh, Amy, It's a not nice thing to say. He was just being a piece of sh- "

"Ahem!" Hope coughed, glaring at her now blushing husband. "What Daddy means, sweetie, is that Ian is just being a big you like to see Mrs. Kabra tommorow, to make him apologize?"

Amy nodded excitedly. She didn't like Mr or Mrs. Kabra, but she's do anything to see Ian apologize.

Dan, annoyed he had been forgotten said; "Mama, can we go to Gwace's house tommowow?"

Hope smiled at her little son. He was so cute. "Sure Dan we can, but first we need to go see Mrs. Kabra, Ok? Now open wide for your peas,dear."

Dan pouted. He REALLY hated peas. But he opened his mouth and ate them.

Arthur grinned at his wife. "I'm going to call Alistair now, alright?"

Hope laughed."Ok, go call him ."

Amy began to cry. "NO, Daddy don't leave me!" She sobbed

Dan frowned."Don't cwy Amy." He whimpered.

Arthur gave Amy a big hug. " I wouldn't dream of it. I love you Amy. I won't leave you. Ever."

Amy gave him a tiny smile. "Pinky swear, Daddy?"She asked, sticking out her pinky.

Arthur kissed the top of her head and mussed her reddish brown hair with his hand. Then he stuck out his pinky and looped it around hers. "Pinky Swear, Amy. Go get yourself a lollipop now, ok?"

Amy smiled cheerfully and went to the candy jar. She took out 2 lollipops, and when no one was looking put one in her pocket. Then she put one in her mouth, smiling at it's cherry flavor.

Hope sighed, happy. Then she noticed something. Was it getting... hotter? "Arthur?" She asked slowly, "Is it getting, hotter in here?"

Arthur frowned. Then he noticed something. Why were there flames near the door? No... "FIRE!!" He screamed.

Amy screamed and so did Hope. Arthur didn't know what to do. The smoke was unbearable. Neighbors had already called 911, and the Fire Department was there. Arthur knew that his two children had to get out first. He also knew that it would be too late for him or Hope. He kissed Amy and Dan one last time, and Hope hugged them, and tucked a small photo of Hope and Arthur in Amy's pocket. Hope handed Dan, and Arthur handed Amy to the of the firefighters noticed the Man in Black, running from the torched house. Or the old Korean man, wlking away, and wiping tears from his eyes. Inside the burning building, Arthur kissed his wife one last time. His last thought was to was ; I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise...

Awwww. Poor Amy. So whaddya think, No DON'T Tell me. Just Review. Oh and vote 4 me! Oh and the lollipop thing was made up. But Amy keeps that piece of candy for her whole life.
