It was about 5:30pm and Mr. Heffley was running around the house trying to find his other shoe.
"Honey? Have you seen my other dress shoe?" Mr. Heffley asked frantically looking around for his shoe.
"Yes, wasn't it in the bathroom?" Mrs. Heffley asked walking down the stairs adjusting her earring. Mr. and Mrs. Heffley were going to dinner together in celebration of their anniversary.
Rodrick was in the kitchen eating some chips out of the bag. Greg was sitting in the living room watching TV. Meanwhile baby Manny was playing with his toys in the living room.
"Rodrick," Mrs. Heffley began, "I'm going to need you to watch Greg and Manny."
"No can do Susan. I have a gig tonight." He said with a mouth full of chips.
"Rodrick, this is your father and I's anniversary. Your band will have to wait." She said crossing her arms.
"What? I can't miss it! I'm their drummer." He said stubbornly.
"I guess it wasn't fair to ask you in such short notice..." Mrs. Heffley said frowning. She stood there for second with a frown on her face. Rodrick felt bad and for a second he was going to reconsider and tell his mom that the band could wait but Mrs. Heffley already had and idea.
"Cassie!" Mrs. Heffley exclaimed and ran over to the phone in the kitchen. Rodrick shrugged and walked out of the kitchen and into the garage where he left his drum sticks.
Mrs. Heffley dialed the number on the fridge. She knew that one day she was going to need it.
"Hello?" A voice said on the other side.
"Hello, is this Cassie Farrell?" Mrs. Heffley asked.
"Yes it is!" the girls voice said.
"Hi, I'm Susan Heffley. I was wondering if you could baby-sit tonight?"
"Well sure, what time will you be back home?"
"Um probably around 10:00pm. Is that too late?"
"Well if it was just me going out then yes but seeing as how it's for a good reason I'm sure its fine."
"Oh good! Thank you. Do you think you could be over…um right now?''
"Sure thing! I just need a moment to get my stuff together."
"No problem. We will be leaving right now but my older son is here and he will let you in. He was going to baby sit but he has a little performance he has to do with his band."
"Oh I see. Well I'm pretty much ready, so I'll be there soon." The young girl said.
"Thank you so much! Good bye." Mrs. Heffley hung up and walked over to the door. Mr. Heffley walked down the stairs.
"Well don't you look handsome." Mrs. Heffley gushed. Mr. Heffley smiled and kissed Mrs. Heffley.
"Ew." Rodrick said as he walked into the kitchen again with his drumsticks in his pocket. Mr. Heffley looked at his son and shook his head.
"Susan, why does our son where eyeliner?" He asked.
"He's expressing himself!" She whispered to her husband. She turned toward Rodrick.
"Rodrick, the babysitter will be here in a few minutes so just let her in ok? Oh also, I left a paper of emergency numbers on the fridge and what time the boys should be in bed." Mrs. Heffley said.
"…yeah…" Rodrick said not really paying attention. He was throwing M&Ms up in the air and trying to catch them with his mouth. He missed a few times and there were about 7 M&Ms on the ground.
"Pick those up when you're finished." Mrs. Heffley said pointing to the ground.
"….yeah…" Rodrick repeated.
Mr. and Mrs. Heffley left out the door. Now it was just Rodrick, Greg and Manny. Rodrick walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. He sat on the couch and took the remote from Greg.
"Hey!" Greg said angrily. Rodrick held the remote away from Greg and changed the channel to some music videos on MTV.
"I was watching something!'' Greg yelled.
"Ok, try and get the remote back. I dare you." Rodrick said giving him the look of death. Greg thought for a moment and then narrowed his eyes. He lunged forward for the remote. Rodrick got up quickly and ran out of the living room. Greg chased after him.
The doorbell rang and Rodrick ran to the door and opened it. As he opened it Greg ran right into Rodrick. He fell back onto the floor. Rodrick laughed and pointed at Greg.
Cassie gave Rodrick a disgusted look and helped Greg up as he smiled at Cassie.
"Cassie, what are you doing here?'' Rodrick said closing the door behind Cassie.
"I'm the babysitter." Cassie said. She thought for a moment, "How do you know me?" She asked.
"How does anyone not know you?" Rodrick rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.
Cassie ignored Rodrick and turned to Greg who was still staring with wide eyes at her. "How have you been?" She smiled.
"Good. I have been doing great in math!" Greg smiled. Cassie used to tutor Greg in math.
"So did your parents leave anything that I needed to do?"
"Um…I don't think so." Rodrick said forgetting what his mom told him. "But Greg made a huge mess all over the kitchen floor. M&Ms are everywhere." Rodrick said crossing his arms and smirking.
Cassie walked into the kitchen and looked on the floor and saw a bunch of M&M's scattered all over the place.
"I didn't do that! Rodrick must have done it!" Greg said pointing at Rodrick.
"I didn't do anything butt-munch." Rodrick said glaring at Greg. Greg glared back and they started to fight. Cassie sighed and put her fingers to her mouth and whistled. They both stopped and looked at her.
"Who made this mess?" She said crossing her arms.
"Rodrick" Greg said at the same time Rodrick said "Greg".
"Ok. I'll just call your guys' mom and we'll see." Cassie said walking to the phone. Rodrick knew that if his mom found out the Rodrick had blamed Greg then his mom would probably ground him and he wouldn't be able to go to the gig. Cassie picked up the phone.
"Wait," Rodrick said.
Cassie smiled and turned around with a serious look on her face. "What?" she asked.
"Fine. Maybe the little loser didn't exactly spill the M&M's all over the floor…" Rodrick said.
"Pick them up." Cassie said pointing to the ground. She walked to the kitchen table. Greg laughed and went back to watching his TV.
"No." He shrugged.
"Excuse me?" Cassie asked.
"No." He said walking up to her.
"Rodrick Heffley, you will pick these up right now!" Cassie said angrily.
Rodrick laughed,"Who made you the boss of everything?".
"Your mom did. Apparently I'm babysitting you now to." Cassie crossed her arms.
"Nope, I have a show to do." Rodrick said walking to leave the kitchen. Cassie blocked the doorway. "Move Ferrell." Rodrick said.
"Not until you pick up your mess." Cassie said poking Rodrick in the chest.
"You're going to make me late, now move!" He said," Or I'll make you move."
"Are you-are you really going to try and pick a fight with me? For one I'm the mayors' daughter and my mothers the head of the PTA, she'll expellee you from school and my father will arrest you. Second, I'm a pacifist so I don't fight! And you can't-"
"I never said I was going to fight you!" Rodrick said. Meanwhile Manny and Greg where watching from the sidelines. "I said I was going to make you move."
"Wha-" Cassie began to say. Rodrick picked her up and put her down next to Greg and Manny.
"Also you talk way to much!" He said laughing and walking to the door.
"Don't you dare!" Cassie said running and jumping on Rodrick's back. Greg and Manny started laughing.
"What the hell-" Rodrick yelled before Cassie covered his mouth.
"There are kids in the room!" Cassie said. Rodrick got Cassie's hand away from his mouth and pried her arms off of him. Cassie landed with a thud on the ground. She sat there looking angrily up at Rodrick. Rodrick looked at her and sighed.
"Fine! If it will get you to stop attacking me like a squirrel-monkey then I will clean the freaking M&Ms!" He said stomping into the kitchen. Greg helped Cassie up.
"That was awesome," He laughed.
"Thanks!" Cassie smiled.
"I mean for second you two fighting reminded me of when your little sister, Patty, tried to fight with me." Greg said putting air quotes around the word 'fighting'.
"Oh yeah...Patty. She can get a little crazy when things don't go her way but I think you are great little boy." Cassie smiled and ruffled Greg's hair. Usually Greg wasn't too big on that kind of stuff but considering he's had a teeny crush on Cassie, he didn't mind.
Cassie walked into the kitchen and picked up an M&M off the kitchen table.
"How in the world did you manage to get M&M's all over the place?" She said throwing the M&M away.
"I was eating them." Rodrick said throwing all the M&Ms that were on the floor, away. "I sort of missed my mouth."
"Oh." Cassie said. Rodrick and Cassie just stood there. Cassie was staring at him.
"What?" He asked getting a bit creeped out.
"Why are you wearing eye liner?" Cassie reached up and smeared a bit off his eye. "Eye liner is usually for girls." She laughed.
"Well for your information my band is a hard core rock band." Rodrick said trying to do some ninja move with his drumsticks.
"And hard core men wear eye-liner." Cassie laughed and snatched a drumstick out of his hand. Rodrick mimicked Cassie's laugh. Cassie smirked and rolled her eyes. "Don't you have a performance you need to go to?"
"A gig!" Rodrick said snatching his drumstick back, "And yeah I was just leaving." He said walking out of the kitchen. Cassie followed him to the door.
"Um I'm sorry I jumped up on you like that." Cassie said looking down. "That wasn't very lady like." She said ashamed.
"It's…fine." Rodrick said walking to the door.
"Well good luck on your gig Rodrick." She said as he opened the door. He looked at her; nodded and smiled.
"Thanks" He nodded. Rodrick closed the door. He stood there for a second. Then he shrugged off whatever feeling he was feeling at that moment and walked to his car.
Meanwhile Cassie went back into the kitchen to finish off some homework.
Well please tell me what you thought! Also, should I continue writing it like this or should I do it from Cassie's POV? Please let me know (^_^ )
