Author's note: I'm currently at my mom's office and there's a huge jar of jelly beans. Ohhh the temptation.
"Can I have one?"
"No," Katie said, holding her bag of jelly beans away from the Stolls.
"Please? We won't prank you for a month." Conner pouted, crossing his fingers behind his back.
"I can see you crossing your fingers behind your back." Katie rolled her eyes and Travis smacked Conner on the head.
"Please, oh please, oh please?" the Stolls said at the same time, widening their blue eyes.
"No."
"We'll do anything!" they both cried.
"Really?" Katie smiled.
"No." Conner shook his head.
"Did you really believe that?" Travis raised an eyebrow.
Katie frowned but then got an idea and took a jelly bean out of her bag and slowly ate it, just to spite the Stolls. "Mmm… This tastes great. And do you want to know the best part?"
"No," Travis said, covering Conner's eyes and adding, "You bad influence! There are young ones here! Depriving us from jelly beans! Absolutely scandalous!" Conner batted his hands away, pouting.
"We'll do anything!" Conner wailed, reaching for the jelly beans.
"A little less than anything… But still anything!" Travis collapsed on the ground.
Katie smiled. "Alright. Here are the jelly beans, but you'll have to pay me back."
"Oh no can do, missy. We're broke." Travis shook his head.
"I didn't say in money. I don't need that. I have something else in mind…" Katie smiled evilly.
Ten minutes later…
"Worst. Compromise. Ever," Travis whined as he pulled weeds out of Katie's garden.
"I don't even know what that means, but yeah!" Conner complained, doing the same task as Travis.
"Keep going, boys. After that, you can do the backyard." Katie smiled, eating jelly beans.
They both groaned.
After the boys finished, they asked Katie for their jelly beans.
"Um… Well… You see…" Katie slowly backed out of the garden, smiling before whispering, "I crossed my fingers." She ran out of the garden, laughing.
"GET HER!" The Stolls ran after her, all because of a bag of jelly beans.
