Author's Note: Hey guys! So here is the next chapter. I'm not too sure where this story is going at the moment, so please review and tell me whether I should continue or not. Also, I don't know the American movie ratings system, so I used the Aussie system. Enjoy! I Heart Kid Chino

Cookies, Movies, and Mermen – Chapter Two

Saturday, 7:37am

"Ryannnn… Ryannnn… Come on Ryannnn, get up sleepy head!"

Sophie was practically sitting on top of Ryan who had just been enjoying the peacefulness of the one day of the week where he could sleep in for as long as he wanted… Saturday. That is, until about five seconds ago when Sophie had rudely woken him up.

"What the hell?" Ryan lifted his sleepy head to see what was on top of him…Sophie. Ryan groaned.

"Ryan… don't sware! Mummy said that swearing is naughty, and if I say something naughty she sends me to my room. So you can't leave this poolhouse 'til I say so."

"Aw, I'm sorry Soph." Ryan tried as hard as he could to look sincere and not smile.

"It's kay Ryan."

"Okay, how 'bout you hop off of me so that I can get up hey?"

"Nope" Sophie stayed right where she was, sitting on top of his chest with her arms crossed, and a very serious look on her face. Ryan was pretty sure his lungs were going to be permanently squashed within the next two minutes or so.

"First we are going to plan what we are gonna do today, kay?" Sophie said in a businesswoman-like fashion. Sophie knew she was great at planning what to do for a day, especially when she had Ryan wrapped around her little finger.

"Nope, first you're gonna get off me, THEN we're gonna plan what we'll do today… deal?"

"Deal"

Sophie climbed her way off of Ryan and sat down on the bed beside him.

"So what would you like to do today Soph?" Ryan questioned, hoping that she would say something like 'nothing, I'd love to stay home all day', but he knew that that was not going to happen anytime soon.

"Well we could go to the aquarium and look at fishies, but not sharks cos I'm pretty scared of those." Ryan cursed on the inside, today was gonna be awesome… not. No matter what, Ryan was definitely not going to spend his day learning about which fish are native to Southern California.

"Yeah, that's a pretty good idea", Ryan said, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "or, you know, we could do something else, like… see a movie." 'Damn it' Ryan hissed internally, he had just dug himself into an even bigger hole. Seeing a movie with a four year old? Did he really think he was going to end up seeing the latest 'Spiderman' with a very small, very impressionable little girl?

"Yeahhhhh!!" Sophie was bubbling with excitement. What a great idea!

"OR something else"

"Nuh. I wanna see a movie".

"Come on Soph, isn't there something else that sounds a bit better… what about…uh…ten pin bowling, hey? Bowling's pretty cool." Ryan tried to interest Sophie in something else… anything else, as long as it wasn't a kid's movie.

Without warning, the poolhouse doors swung open, and Seth stood at the door, smiling.

"Bowling's pretty cool, eh Ryan? There's a line and a half." Ryan rolled his eyes. It was too early for Seth's… Seth-ness. "Can I quote you on that one?" Seth continued, teasing Ryan.

"Funny, Seth" Ryan glared at him from across the room.

"Sethy, guess what? We're seeing a movie today!" Sophie grinned.

"Reeeeally? Cos the new 'X-men' came out yesterday, and it would be so awesome…" Ryan interrupted him before he could finish.

"No way, dude. We're not taking a four-year-old to see an M rated movie." Argued Ryan.

"Fine, Superman is PG" Seth tried to reason him.

"I dun wanna see Superman, that's silly." Sophie complained, "I wanna see the new 'Cinderella' movie."

Seth and Ryan exchanged glances of 'no, no, no, anything but a Disney princess.' They were both pretty sure that the movie was going to be the worst movie either one of them would ever see… EVER! Looks like they were going to have to grin and bear it. As much as the boys denied it, they were such softies, and Sophie would have her way in the end!

Saturday, 11:49pm

'Crunch, Crunch, Crunch' was the only sound that could be heard in the Cohen kitchen as Sophie devoured her peanut butter sandwich. After a while, Sophie got bored of waiting for Seth and Ryan to get ready for the movies. She just wanted to go and see 'Cinderella' find the man of her dreams already. So in the meantime, Sophie decided that she would have some fun of her own.

About five minutes later, Ryan and Seth strolled towards the kitchen, ready to take Sophie to the movie. As the boys turned the corner from the family room into the kitchen, they stopped dead in their tracks, both of their jaws dropping.

There standing in front of them was little Sophie, covered in peanut butter, holding a spoon full of the gooey substance in her right hand, and pulling the spoon back getting ready to fling the sticky clump against the walls with her left, just like she had been doing for the last five minutes. Sophie had decided to see how well the peanut butter would stick to the walls of the kitchen. It was then that the boys realised that Sophie + unsupervised + peanut butter, equals DISASTER!

"Sophie…" Ryan began, unsure how to even start to say everything that was on he and Seth's minds.

"Sophie Rose drop the spoon, and put your hands behind your head." Seth yelled out, cop show style.

"Nuh-uh" Sophie said with a very mischievous grin on her face.

Sophie turned to face the boys, getting her weapon ready to fire straight at them, and started to giggle uncontrollably.

"Sophie, don't even think about it miss… If Seth and I get one speck of peanut butter on us, then you can forget about seeing that movie." Ryan scolded.

Sophie weighed the odds: Movie… or covering her brothers in peanut butter. After a long hard think, she decided that even though she wouldn't get to see the movie, the latter would totally be worth it. Using all of her spoon-flicking skills, she flung a glob towards Ryan.

'SLAP!'

Ryan stood there, open-mouthed, his face covered in peanut butter that was slowly, but surely dripping down onto his shirt. 'Now to get Seth' Sophie thought.

'SLAP!'

Seth didn't move for a few seconds out of shock, and Sophie was starting to wonder what she had gotten herself into… but she decided it was still worth it all.

Seth and Ryan turned to look at each other, and nodded in unison.

'Uh-Oh' Sophie thought.

"You're so going down little girl!" Seth screamed as he and Ryan ran towards the peanut butter jar, stuck their hands inside of it and mushed it all over Sophie! It was ON.

Thanks for reading, everyone. Please review and tell me what you think!
