Laura's Mean Aunt
By Caroline, a.k.a. puppyeyes
Hamtaro by Someone, but not me!
When Laura woke up, some strangers were standing in her room. She heard them talking: "So you are her Aunt Traci, and you will take care of her?" "Yes. She can pack only one suitcase. I don't have much room in my house."
That had been hours ago. Now, Laura was sitting in Aunt Traci's beat-up Mustang. Then, the car pulled into the driveway of a townhouse. While Aunt Traci opened the door, she explained everything to Laura: "I have only one key, and I need to keep the door locked. After school, you will wait for me to come home and unlock the door. My friend Kenneth comes every night. I only have two plates, so you can eat a blob of ketchup for dinner. I only have one bed, so you will sleep on the floor. You get 30 seconds in the shower, if you're bad, 15. You get a dime a week IF you do all your chores every day. I'll take care of your hamster and here's your list of chores for today." Aunt Traci handed Laura a list. It read:
1. Make dinner (recipe attached) 2. Find these movies on Digital PPV: Dragonfly Greek Wedding 3. Clean the whole house THOUROUGHLY 4. Run outside in the bushes where your dinner is 5. Eat it there 6. Pretend that you don't exist until Kenneth is gone. I will unlock the door and let you in for shower and bed.
Laura groaned. She wouldn't even be able to talk to Hamtaro or eat at the table. This stunk! Where were her parents?
