Alright, this one was a gem to write, and as usual; please review!
It had been a difficult day for Cinder Falls, it's not easy having to create such brilliant plans such as her own. It was dark, though so she knew she was going to have to get some rest. The only thing she had to do now was get her teammates to bed, which is easier said than done.
"Alright, how about we all get some rest?" she asked, trying to get thing over quickly as possible. "Anyone else tired? I know I am!"
"But Ciiiinder?" Mercury whined. "Do we have to go to sleep NOW?"
"Yeah!" Emerald agreed. "The night is still young, right?"
"Who said that?" Cinder protested.
"You did!"
"Yeah, when you were working on one of your quote-unquote nefarious schemes!"
Drat, Cinder forgot that she said that, things just got much harder for her. Now she had to think of a way to get them to want them to get to bed.
"C'mon, what would you like me to do to get you two to bed." she replied frustrated.
(Author's Note: That felt weird to write…. Like a lot…)
This left both Mercury and Emerald quiet for a moment. They weren't sure what they would need to get to bed. However, Emerald soon got an idea of something silly to make Cinder do.
"Well, "she began, revealing a smirk. "You could tell us a bedtime story."
"That would help!" Mercury replied.
"You cannot be serious...:" Cinder grumbled.
This was humiliating for Cinder, she was a villain, not a mother. Yet here she was about to tell a story to help get her teammates to fall asleep.
"Okay then!" Cinder then said, faking a smile. "Once upon a time there was an obnoxious little girl named Little Red Riding Hood…"
About fifteen minutes later, Cinder finished her story. She was quite proud of herself since she thought of it on the spot. It was perfect, a simple plot, lovable characters, and most importantly; a happy ending.
"And so the Wolf gobbled up Red and her Grandmother and lived happily ever after!" Cinder finished, then she turned to her teammates. "There, happy?"
Much to her surprise, both of her teammates were fast asleep. Now that they couldn't disturb her, maybe she could get a little work done, after all, the night is still young!
