Mister Ellie
Amanosai
Relena sat on the floor, her lovely frilly pink dress crumpled underneath her diaper. Young Millardo didn't know how to make his little sister stop crying. He couldn't even understand what she was saying.
'Maybe if I shake her she'll stop,' He thought to himself, and as he was about to grab Relena's shoulders and give her little pink body the shaking of a lifetime, Celeste walked in. Millardo stopped in his tracks, because Mother always told him not to shake Relena. If Celeste found out what he was about to do, he could get in trouble.
"Vat is dis?" Celeste asked in her strange Frenc accent. Millardo started to answer her that he wasn't doing anything, and certainly wasn't about to shake Relena, when Celeste reached over his head and picked up little baby Relena.
"Ohh, zare, zare, pumpkin! Vie are yoo cry-ing?" She cuddled Relena to her chest, and Millardo was happy that Relena's voice was lost in the thick material of Celeste's uniform.
After a few hiccups, Relena managed to whisper haltingly a short explaination. Millardo couldn't hear, and so grabbed Celeste's uniform and gave the dress a sharp tug or two.
"What did she say? Why's she crying?" Millardo asked rudely. After all, this wasn't his mother, and his father wasn't around. Celeste pushed a curl of her blonde hair out of her eyes and into Relena's mouth.
"Mizz Reelenah says zat she cannot find Miztur Ellie. Do yoo know oo dis is?" She asked, shifting from one foot to the other as Relena started to choke on Celeste's hair. Millardo motioned for Celeste to bend over, and successfully freed the clump of hair without the French nursemaid knowing, and let it hang so that when she stood it would fall against her ear.
"Mister Ellie is Relena's elephant. You go look for him." Millardo ordered, and the nursemaid sat Relena down again. As she stood, the hair didn't fall as planned. But Millardo knew that by the end of the day she would notice it. Millardo looked down at the bundle of gasping little sister, and wished he still had an excuse to see what would happen when he shook her.
Celeste came back a half hour later to find Millardo and Relena having a staring contest. "Well," She said, finally dropping the fake French accent. "The fridge is not a place one usually finds an elephant." She said, showing that, even though she didn't know how to take care of kids, she hadn't earned that degree in English Arts for nothing.
She dropped the worn and stuffed elephant in between the starers, and watched as Relena reached forward without batting an eye and pulled Ellie to her. "Zoz two," She said, falling back into her alias. "Are go-ing to be like ziz for ze rest of daire lives. 'Owever long dat iz." She muttered to herself, reminding her that she had only and limited amount of time to leave before the Oz Specials dropped the bombs on the Sanq Kingdom.
Amanosaisays he's not very good. I say we group-glomp him.
