First of all, I want to thank all those who reviewed. Passes out cookies I apologize for any mistakes. I'm writing this story in my fourth period, and upload it right away. (Thanks to Misa for catching my mistake!) I'm naming Sarah's father after my own, Richard. Only my sister gets to find out why.

The New Nanny

Sarah looked up at the men, her face showing concern for her younger brother, and disgust for what she was about to do. "How can I help?"

Had she thought more about the situation, she probably could have figured out a different way to rescue her brother. Again. It seems she was always saving Toby.

Sarah took a deep breath and opened the door before her. Karen was sitting on the couch, watching TV, with a sleeping Toby in her lap. "You're late," Sarah's stepmother said.

"I'm sorry," Sarah said quietly. "I had to stay after class again."

"Anything I should know?" Richard asked, walking in from the kitchen.

"No," Sarah said, a little too quickly. When she saw the weird looks her parents gave her, she added, "I just didn't understand something." Well, at least it's not really lying I didn't understand how Jareth and Mr. Johnson knew each other…

"Whatever," Karen said. Sarah started walking up the stairs. "Come right back down. We can't rely on you to be responsible, so we hiring a nanny. I want you to meet her."

Sarah put her backpack in her room and started back down the stairs. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw a lady. The lady looked like a cross between Jareth and Mr. Johnson. She had her blonde hair in a ponytail, and she wore blue jeans and a red pheasant top. When the lady looked at Sarah, the girl saw the woman had green eyes, like Mr. Johnson, but the shape resembled Jareth's a little more.

"You must be Sarah," the woman said in an insanely sweet voice. "My name is Mona."

"You must be the new nanny," Sarah said, raising he chin defiantly.

"Forgive our daughter," Richard said quickly. "She just learned that we planned on hiring you." "Sarah turned to glare at her father, only to catch her stepmother's look that said 'do as I say or I'll kill your firstborn child.'

"Oh, don't worry about that, Mr. Williams," said. "I'm sure I can change her mind with the peach cobbler I'm making for dessert tonight."

"You guys are going out?" Sarah questioned her father.

"Sarah," Karen said. "You've known about this for a while. Tonight's your father's Company Party."

"Don't worry Sarah," Mona said, coming forward and placing on hand on Sarah's shoulder. "I can already tell we'll be great friends."

Sarah backed away, shaking her head. "I don't want to be friends with you!" Sarah screamed and ran up to her room, slamming the door.

Mona turned to Richard and Karen, "You'd better get going, or you'll be late. Don't worry about your daughter. I'll take care of her." She rushed the two out the door, taking Toby from Karen's arms.

Sarah waited with her head pressed against her door, listening for the sound of the car pulling away. "I can't believe they went and hired a nanny."

"It looks like you'll have to believe it," a familiar voice said behind her. Sarah turned to find Jareth lounging on her bed, while his brother sat in the chair at her desk.

"Easy for you to say," Sarah retorted, not sure who had spoken. "You two don't have to live with her."

Jareth and Mr. Johnson exchanged glances. "Maybe not…" the teacher started.

"…but we did when we were little," Jareth finished.

"That's your sister?" Sarah said, fighting to keep her voice quiet.

"Yes," Mr. Johnson said. "That's Desdemona."

Before the brothers could answer, a sweet voice called up from the dinning room, "Sarah! Come get ready for dinner!"

Sarah opened the door and got ready to yell something back, but Mona beat her to it, "and tell my darling brothers that they're invited to join us."
