Sabastian inched his way down the highway, trying to avoid being seen. Already he had heard screeches of women and children about a huge blue worm crawling around and he didn't want to be picked up, or worse run over. Finally, after hours of slinking past the cars and semi trucks, he came to exit 196 and scooted down it to a small, quiet town. He past stores, a park, a train depot, a high school, a church. finally he saw it. Sarah was sitting on the front steps, sipping a coke and waiting for the mail man. Suddenly her father called her.

"Sarah?"

She stepped up and walked into the house for a minute. Then, she came out and jogged down the steps to the house next door. She let herself into the creaky screen door and was greeted by the happy cries of a little girl.

Sabastian wriggled through a hole in the rickety mesh and on to the soft carpet. The floor was littered with toys and stuffed animals, so it wasn't very hard to not be seen. He heard footsteps and dove behind a naked Barbie in a pink sports car.

"I'll be back around 8:30, there's cold pizza in the refrigerator, juice boxes in the cellar and no tv, video games or computer after 6:30. Put her to bed around 8:00 and I should be home a little while after."

Sarah nodded and waved as Mrs. Frank left them home alone.

"Sawah? I is Hungie.", whined London as she hobbled into the living room.

Sabastian crawled behind a Bop It, as if to get a batter look. Sarah said something and walked into the kitchen. Suddenly, London spotted him.

"Wormie!"

Now the trouble would start, grimaced Sabastian as he squirmed his way under the barbie car.

Sticky little fingers reached for him, grasped his little red scarf, nearly ripping his cute little blue head off. He back out the other side and made a dash for the safety of the Barbie Dream House.

He didn't make it.

Smiling profoundly, London grabbed him around the waist and carried him up the stairs to her room.

Sarah stared at the mircowave, counting down the seconds until the pizza would be warm and ready to eat. Suddenly, pictures of Jared, poking at Hoggle with his sword flew into Sarah's mind. She could feel the sharp metal peicrcing her own skin, and shuddered.

"Ding!"

Thank god the microwave had gone off. She plastered a fake smile and walked into the living room, searching for her hungry baby sitting charge.

~*~

She set Sabastian in her remote control car and strapped the little fabric seat belt. She momentarily flipped over the car, searching for the own switch, and he nearly tossed his cookies right then.

"Yay fun ride whoo yeah!", she screeched, and started to control the small toy.

Out her door, down the hallway and back flew the car. Suddenly, Sabastian felt a huge pang of fear. The stairs! She drove him right down Them.

Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Ow Boom Crash!!

Sarah shrieked as she heard the loud bumping, thinking London had fallen down the stairs. Instead, she had driven her car down, and it had ran into the small door sde table and a very expensive Ming Vase had fallen off and shattered. Sarah groaned as she started to pink of the tiny slivers of glass.

Sabastian was still strapped in the car, thanks to the small seat belt. Slowly he felt himself being lifted then carried up the stairs, back to the little girl's bedroom.
