(A/N) Hello! This is my first fic so please go easy on me.
Disclaimer: I own nothing pertaining to the Lord of the Rings. So don't sue me! Nora, Alex and Stephanie are mine though. You can't have them no, no, they are mine yes, yes all mine all mine oh yes all mine! Ha ha ha, HAHAHA MWAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *cough*
Why am I doing this? Nora asked the reasonable part of her brain, "Because you're broke," it replied calmly. Oh that's right anything is better than being broke but is my hair really worth it? Pleaded Nora as her three year old cousin Stephanie proceeded to grab a fistful of it and yank on it rather hard in order to get her older cousins attention.
"Read me a story!" squealed Stephanie.
"But I just read you one!" Nora protested feebly. Unfortunately, the three year old was not phased in the slightest and Nora soon found herself reciting "Repunzel" for the 6th time in less than an hour. (This baby-sitting thing was not working.)
Stephanie loved the Story of Repunzel, she was now determined to grow her hair out long enough for a prince to climb. Of course the previous week she had been determined to sleep for one hundred years and be rescued by a prince. (She did manage to lie still for a good 2 minutes.)
Never the less, Nora was now on the couch reading Repunzel when, "Alex! Take that thing back outside! Now! That is totally disgusting!" Nora screeched trying to sound as forceful as possible. Her seven year old brother Alex had a fondness for toads. Of course he tried to look innocent, his lip quivering and his big blue eyes all wide in his best imitation of Bambie.
Nora sighed, she couldn't take this anymore. "Look, Alex just put it back where it came from and then we can go to the park okay?"
"Okay!" Alex agreed, smiling. Immediately he scampered outside, his blond curls bobbing as he went.
30 minutes later, they were all bundled up against the November weather and complete with a hot pink Hello-Kitty hat for Stephanie and a large bag filled with the preferred snack of Gram crackers, and so off the three of them went.
"No Stephanie, we can't stop and pick Mrs. McKinley's flowers, she wouldn't like that," Nora said for the third time. Finally, they reached the park. After about half an hour of being pushed on the swings and running around like chickens whose bodies have parted company with their heads, Alex and Stephanie finally got tired and let themselves be dragged home. At least towards home. They never got that far.
(A/N) Yay! It's special, and incase ya'll are wondering it won't be a Mary-Sue Nora's only 13 I really don't think it would work out if she tried. Constructive criticism is most welcome but not flames.
