Dedicated to Poptart, I'm sorry I flooded your house (Explanation for the people who want it at the bottom)

A/N This came out of the reason I did not update, I was getting inspiration for this rule.

Rule ten: Start with the simple stuff before you move on the big stuff

Artemis was staying up all night with his brothers, who had begged for three weeks to their parents to have an all-nighter with Oreos and lemonade. Well, it had been coffee, but the idea was rejected immediately. In turn, Angeline had told Artemis she wanted him to join them in exchange for not being forced to wear a T-Shirt for a whole week, and Artemis had immediately agreed, with a pity-fest later.

He was now regretting it. The repair man had been called, but he couldn't come as soon as Artemis would have liked, so for two more days, they were stuck with a touchy sewer system. Beckett had left the room silently, while Artemis was talking to Holly, Myles with him. Beckett had flushed the toilet, and it had risen to the top.

"….Myles.."

*examines the toilet"

"What did you do, simple-toon?"

"Nothing! I just flushed the toilet!"

"Whatever. Did you flush all the toilet paper rolls down the toilet again?"

"Are you ever going to let that go?"

"Never."

"Whatever. I dint do anything, it was the toilet."

To prove his point, Beckett reached out and flushed the toilet again, before Myles could stop him.

The toilet started overflowing and wouldn't stop.

Beckett panicked, and tried to use his slipper socks* to block the toilet water, but to no avail. Myles ran down the hall.

"Arty! Daddy! Mummy! Beckett made the toilet go boom!"

Becket was trill trying to stop the flow**

Artemis Sr. tore around the corner, rubbing sleep from his eyes. He took one look at the mess and ran to go get towels. Artemis jr. ran downstairs to make sure it wasn't leaking from the pipes. It was. Angeline looked at all the bustle around her, rolled her eyes, and grabbed the plunger.

"Doesn't anyone around here know how to use one of these things?"

After the towels were soaked, the buckets were full, Myles had stopped hyperventilating, Beckett had stopped crying and blubbering out apologies, Artemis had stopped laughing, they decided it would be best to get to bed.

Artemis resumed his call to Holly.

"Yeah, My brother almost flooded our house."

"Really? Did he use a fire hose?"

"The toilet"

"did he flush it twice?"

"Apparently."

"….He didn't just use a plunger?"

"doesn't know how."

"Wow. What happened to rule ten."

"Stop using my rues against me. Please."

" Nope just thinking, for the time being, you should substitute it. "

"I don't change the rules."

"You just break them all the time. That makes sense."

"Rules are meant to be broken. That's why they are called "Rules". "

Holly laughed. "You may have just made up two rules to add to MY ever-growing set."

"You too? I knew Butler was making some, but you?"

"Hey, you started a trend. Foaly and Mulch are making some, and I think even Trouble is making a set."

"Very well. What would these two rules be?"

"Never go to the bathroom without knowing how to use a plunger, and Rules are there to be broken."

"Except mine."

…

Myles was pacing the room. "You didn't follow rule ten, simple-toon. Start with the simple stuff before you move on the big stuff ."

"But plungers are big!"

…

This one was long, so today I'm only going to have one scenario. Sorry. I'm tired. This came out of real life. I went to the bathroom, at a sleepover, and flooded my friends bathroom, and the pipes had leaked in the basement, I felt so awful, And my friends aren't going to let it g anytime soon. Feel sorry for me. Feel Very sorry.

Review if you want a spin-off. My friends on FF have expressed interest in Making a set of rules for Juliet, Or Holly. I don't know how well that would go. Tell me what you think, if you think someone else could do a better job, or what. Or just PM me if you want to make a spin off, for an AF character. I don't know.
