Hey all glad your liking these short stories, its fun writing in a five year olds body. Their hilarious.

With the youngest Lucas kid out of time-out, the four were off to the playground after getting sunscreen, a first-aid kit and some lunch bags.

Joe packed a few toys and three squirt guns as well and put the backpack on his back.

Nick put his guitar in his case and went to carry it when Francesca tugged his shirt.

The little girl was not keen on walking the two blocks, she wanted energy to play.

"Can I have a piggy back ride Nicky, please?" Frankie asked when the four went outside.

Nick looked at her and smirked. "Sure but only if you kiss the boo boo you gave me" he answered.

Frankie looked down, ashamed of her earlier bratty moment. She bent and kissed where she had kicked her brother.

Nick grinned and threw her up in the air and kissed her cheek.

"I love you little princess but if you ever kick me again I'll take away your favorite toy for a week" he said and Frankie nodded and clutched her bear tight.

"Not Frankie Bear!" she exclaimed and Nick nodded. "Yes…the bear will be mine if you ever hit, kick or bite anyone" he said sternly and Frankie nodded.

"No more hurting Nicky…I'll be real good" she promised. Nick nodded, not quite believing her but he decided to give her another chance.

Nick placed her back down and bent so she could get on his back and the four were off again to the park.

When the got there, Nick released her and Frankie and her bear ran off to play.

For about a half hour all was fine as the brothers sat on a bench to help Nick write a new song.

Then an eleven year old boy showed up as Frankie tossed her bear down the big slide.

He picked it up as she slid after it.

Frankie looked up into blue eyes of the kid and smiled. "May I have my bear back please?" she asked sweetly.

The boy stuck his tongue out in response.

"I found it…mine now" he taunted. Frankie stood on the slide and folded her arms.

"That's not the rules, its my bear I got it when I was born five years ago" she said.

The boy laughed. "Well isn't that precious, too bad beary belongs to me now" he taunted again.

Frankie stomped her foot and jumped at him. The boy was shocked but managed to keep the bear from her.

He was a good two feet taller and laughed as he held his captive above her head.

Frankie began to cry as she jumped up and down without any luck to get her favorite stuffed animal away from the mean child.

"Give me my bear you mean boy!" She yelled as she sobbed.

"Aw is the baby crying?" he asked with a snicker.

"What are you doing Adam?" another boy asked as he jogged up suddenly. Adam grinned at his friend.

"Jeremy, lets play monkey in the middle with the baby" he suggested. Jeremy looked at Frankie and shrugged.

"I don't know man…she's crying" he said. Adam glared at him.

"Do it or you're not my friend and you won't come over my house no more" he said.

Jeremy eyes lit up at that. Adam had a lot of neat stuff to do at his house, he was a lot richer than his family. Jeremy had stuff but Adam's was better.

"Okay…I'll do it" he stuttered. The two spread out and Frankie cries grew sharper as she ran after the flying bear.

Adam taunted her whenever he had it. He obviously didn't remember when he was a little kid or he was just a bad kid who needed to be punished.

Either way, Frankie only got more upset by the second.

It took the Lucas boys a few minutes into the game to see their sister was battling a bully and his friend.

Joe got out the three water guns and motioned for the boys to spread out.

Nick hid behind the large tree by the children as Kevin climbed on the tunnel and Joe on the monkey bars.

Joe nodded to Nick when the two were in position and he came out.

"Hey! Leave my sister alone" he said, very loudly. It stopped the game as Adam got the bear back.

He looked at Nick and then looked around quickly. He quickly spotted what he wanted, two kids with a bucket of water.

As they poured the water to make wet sand for a sand castle, Adam launched the precious bear and Frankie screamed.

Nick hated to get his clothes filthy but between his clothes and the old bear, his were more likely to come clean.

He dove for the bear and landed on the cold, wet sand and the bear was safe and clean.

Frankie ran to him and hugged her bear than her now filthy big brother.

"You're my hero Nicky, thanks" she said. Nick smiled and then frowned at the child.

"Think that's funny kid?" he asked angrily.

Adam smirked but lost his smile as Nick glared at him angrily.

"I was just having fun" he muttered, his braveness gone and only a scared little boy remained.

Joe let out a long spray of cold water and it hit his neck. Adam turned as he and Kevin jumped down.

Joe squirted him again. "How you like it kid? Think its funny when an older kid bullies you?" he asked and squirted again.

He motioned to his brothers and all three got the kid till his shirt was soaked.

"Well guess what kiddo, you picked on the one little girl who has three very protective older brothers" Joe said angry as well.

Adam backed up afraid now. "He…he made me do it" he said and Jeremy gasped.

"Liar! You forced me" he retorted. "You both shouldn't be messing with a kid half your age and size" Kevin shot back silencing them both.

Nick folded his arms. "Did she not tell you how important that bear is?" he asked and Adam nodded.

"Said she got it when she was a baby" he muttered, regretting his bullying now.

Joe folded his arms as well now. "So that makes it okay for you to try and ruin it?" he asked and Adam shook his head.

His mother finally stormed up then. "Adam why are you all wet?" she asked.

Adam looked at her. "They got me wet" he said and the boys showed off their guns.

"It's just water ma'am, it will dry, Adam was making our sister cry by stealing her teddy bear and we…well we were angry" Joe said calmly.

The mother looked at her child and he glanced away. "Adam James McGinnis is that the truth?" she said and he nodded.

"I…I took the bear and…made Jeremy play keep away…then I almost got it ruined by throwing it at that wet sand" he said and pointed to where Nick hand landed.

Adam looked at Frankie. "I'm sorry kid…I was just messing around" he said.

Frankie just hugged her bear. "Your not forgiven, you're a mean boy, I asked nicely and you only made me cry" she said.

Kevin bent and picked her up and cuddled her.

"Ma'am, were sorry we soaked you child, we'll pay for his clothes" he offered and the woman shook her head.

"No…as your brother said Adam's clothes will dry, I'm very sorry for my child's rude behavior…he will be punished I assure you" she said and Mrs. McGinnis dragged Adam and Jeremy away.

"No momma, not my games…not a week please" they heard Adam beg as his mom grounded him from a lot of his fun toys.

"Good for her, now maybe Adam will learn to respect other kids stuff" Joe smirked.

Frankie smiled. "Thanks boys…I'm glad you still came to my rescue even after I was mean" she said.

Joe smiled at her and kissed her cheek. "We already punished you for that Francesca and besides your our sister, its our job to protect you" he said.

Frankie grinned and reached for him. Joe pulled Nick in and the four had a brief hug.

"Okay…that's enough…Frankie want to swing?" Nick asked and Frankie nodded so he took her from Kevin and went for the two empty swings.

He got her started and Frankie pumped high on her own as her bear swung by Joe in a baby swing.

"I'm flying guys" she yelled and the boys all grinned. Everything was normal again for the Lucas siblings as their sister was happy again.

Frankie is fun to write as a little girl. Okay so now she's dealt with a nightmare, a time-out and a bully.

Any suggestions?
