this kid Spike's baby-sitting? You'll have to read and find out, won't you?
********************************
Spike walked home by himself in the twilight, watching his shadow disappear and reappear as he passed the illuminating glow of the streetlamps. Oh how he would love for Jet, Vicious and Andy to get braces so he could make fun of them too. While he was thinking about how funny it would be to see one of them with braces, an apple fell off a tree and hit him in the head. He looked up and saw a little red-haired girl sitting in the tree laughing.
"Hey! What was that for???" Spike angrily asked the girl. She just giggled and swung out of the tree and ran for the house, a small puppy following behind.
"Honestly, the nerve of some people," he muttered under his breath.
***
Friday morning, thunderous knocking on the door woke Spike from his peaceful sleep.
"SPIKE SPIGEL! GET UP NOW OR YOU'LL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!!!" His mother's voice seemed to have upped a hundred decibels in volume.
"I'm up," he said sleepily.
He rolled over only to roll off his bead and hit the floor. Now awake, he rubbed his head and went to get ready for school. After getting dressed, Spike packed a few of his "Computer magazines" into his backpack for after school baby-sitting. He ran down stairs and out the door towards school.
***
At lunch, Julia and Faye told Spike to meet them in front of the Gymnasium and Faye's dad would pick them up. Spike really hadn't known what to expect. He hadn't ever met Mr.Valentine and he doesn't speak to Faye enough to hear of him. Well, now it was the end of school and his friends had left for the Malt shop. without him. The payoff for baby-sitting was well worth it though.
"Spike!," Spike turned around to see Faye and Julia coming out from the Girls' locker rooms and heading his direction. He smiled and looked to face them.
"Hey! See, I didn't bail out either," Spike said as they approached him.
Spike and the girls were waiting for just a few minutes when a red convertible pulled up. Faye motioned for Spike to follow her and Julia. When approaching the convertible, the man in the driver's seat lowered his shades.
"You must be Spike?" The man asked him.
"Yes sir, Spike Spigel," he replied rather confidently.
"Why don't you sit up front," It wasn't a question. "I'm Mr.Valentine. Faye's father."
"Yes sir," Spike answered, his confidence slipping. He knew that Mr.Valentine didn't like him. Then again, most fathers were very protective over their daughters.
As they were driving, Mr. Valentine started to ask Spike questions that were making him very uncomfortable. Fay could see how uncomfortable Spike was getting.
"Daddy, that's enough questions." She spoke up and nudged Julia with her elbow, motioning for her to stop laughing.
***
A few minutes later, they pulled up to a small, but nice, two story house. Faye went up to the door and came back with a small red-haired girl and her puppy.
"Spike, meet Ed and Ein!"
