The second chapter is here! (Insert applause here) This one takes place when Olivier is three and none of the other Armstrong siblings are born yet. I do not Fma:b.
Daycare and Dinosaurs
Mrs. Armstrong was knitting when the phone rang, she picked it up.
"Hello, Armstrong residence."
"Hi, um, this is Tilly from Sunshine Rainbow Daycare, and your daughter has gone completely berserk," the woman on the phone sounded terrified.
Mrs. Armstrong sighed; she had been half-expecting this call for about a week now. "I'll be there in a minute." The Armstrongs had sent their daughter to daycare in hopes that her aggressive behavior wouldn't rub off on the unborn twins in Mrs. Armstrong's stomach. Of course, little Olivier had been kicked out of three daycares in the past month due to her temper.
When Mrs. Armstrong walked into Sunshine Rainbow Daycare; the scenario was similar to the previous experiences, huddled in the coat room were Tilly, a few terrified kids and one boy who appeared to be unconscious. The other workers and unfortunate kids were in the playroom, trying to either calm down Olivier or find a decent hiding place.
The playroom was a disaster, toys strewn around the room with reckless abandon; kids huddled in the corners, the daycare staff trying to evacuate the children into the coat room. In the center of it all, as always, was a petite blonde girl, with a toy dinosaur in each hand, yelling profanities that no three-year-old should know.
"Olivier Mira Armstrong, I will count to five, if you are not over here by the time I get to five, you will be severely punished."
The girl turned to face her angry mother, "What kind of punishment?"
Mrs. Armstrong considered her options, then went with the old stand-by, "if you are not over here by the time I count to five, you will be sent to bed without dinner for the rest of the week. One."
It took until the count of four for Olivier to reluctantly put down the dinosaurs and walk towards her mother. Usually it took to four-and-a-half for her to surrender. The girl was getting smarter.
"Why did you get so mad, Olivier?" Mrs. Armstrong asked when they were in the safety of the car.
"It's all Roy's fault, I wanted to play with the dinos but Roy didn't let me. He said 'girls can't play with dinos, only boys play with dinos, girls play with ponies'. I didn't want to play with ponies; ponies are boring. I got really mad at Roy and took his dino and hit him with it. Roy fell asleep because I hit him and the adults got mad at me and they tried to take my dino but I didn't let them have it because it was my dino."
Mrs. Armstrong just sighed, "If you don't start acting like a lady soon, you'll never be able to find a husband."
AN: Remember kids, if you don't like someone, hit them in the head with a dinosaur. The next chapter is going to be more about Catherine and Alex, since they weren't in this chapter. Reviews are appreciated. If you review, you get a hug from the Armstrong of your choice. ~EndlesslyWandering
