A/NJust wanted to say that the Madison in my story is completely different to the one in the series. Mine has browny/auburn hair, for example. Enjoy!
Madison sat at the kitchen table eating an apple. As she flicked through a random magazine, her mom, Mariah, walked through the door.
"How can anybody think that Slipknot are better that Greenday? That's just not right," she joked to her mom. Mariah wasn't paying any attention whatsoever.
"Huh? What?"
Madison looked up. "Who do you prefer? Greenday…or Slipknot."
"Hmmm..." her mom hesitated. "Metallica."
Madison rolled her eyes and laughed. "You're just a walking joke book, ain't ya?"
Mariah came to sit at the table. "Um…I have a proposition for you."
"I'm listening."
Madison's mom cleared her throat theatrically. "Well. A friend of mine that just moved here needs a babysitter to take care of his daughter. I think she's 9 or 10. You interested?"
Madison nodded enthusiastically. "When do I start?"
Mariah chuckled. "Today, actually…"
"And what time would that be? An address maybe?"
"Now. Andy wanted you to meet him at this address…" Mariah said as she fished out a scrap of paper from her pocket. "He wants you to have dinner there and meet the family and stuff, I guess."
"Riiight. Ah well. I guess I better be going. I'll be back around 2am, yeah?"
"Hilarious. Just hilarious," Mariah sighed as Madison left the house with her skateboard.
