Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Jodie Tanner!

Disclaimer: I do not own the TV series Full House or its characters. The character Jodie Tanner was an idea given to me by Movies And TV Shows AU.

Jodie and DJ knew they shouldn't be playing baseball in the house. Did they care? Nope.

Jodie and DJ weren't technically home alone this time; DJ was babysitting her younger sisters, but there were no adults at home. Michelle and Stephanie were getting into their own mischief and troublemaking, so Jodie and DJ had set up a makeshift diamond in the living room. They'd pushed the couch and the tables into the alcove and the TV into the corner to have more room, using old shoeboxes for bases. DJ was currently up to bat, and she planted her feet on either side of the shoebox that represented home plate with her hands wrapped firmly around a wooden bat.

Jodie smacked the baseball into her glove three times before winding up her arm and throwing it underhand to her older sister.

A clack sounded as the bat hit the baseball, sending the baseball hurling into the kitchen door, hitting it with so much force, it knocked the door open and disappeared into the kitchen.

"That was out of bounds," Jodie protested as DJ began running.

"The whole downstairs is in bounds," DJ stated, remembering their rules, and Jodie nodded as she recalled having made that a rule after she hit a ball down the back hallway and DJ and Jodie hadn't been sure if that was out of bounds or not.

Jodie chased after the ball, and by the time she returned, DJ was back home.

"My turn," Jodie told her sister, and DJ and Jodie switched equipment- DJ received the glove while Jodie grabbed the baseball bat.

DJ stood at the center and wound up her arm before tossing the ball underhand to her younger sister. Jodie's bat gave a powerful thwack as it connected with the ball, and the ball flew through the air and straight threw the window beside the front door, creating a small, circular (and very noticeable) hole in the glass.

"Out of bounds," was all DJ said as they heard footsteps approaching the front door.

Danny's face appeared on the other side of the broken window before he opened the front door and stepped inside, disappointment and anger marring his features.

"Girls," he scolded. "How many times have I told you no sports in the house? I don't even let any of you dance in the house after the incident with Stephanie and Michelle. How could you think baseball was okay? Let me guess: you knew it wasn't okay, but you did it anyway."

DJ and Jodie didn't respond.

"Do you girls even feel an ounce of guilt when you break the rules like this? DJ, you are almost thirteen. Jodie, you're eight years old now. I expect this kind of thing from Michelle; she's only three, but you two and Stephanie need to grow up. I understand you're still kids. You want to have fun, run wild, and if you only did that from time to time, I'd be fine with it. I might even encourage it. But you're breaking a different rule everyday. Stephanie, too, and none of you are setting a good example for Michelle. It's a cycle," Danny said, sternly. "DJ, you're not setting a good example for Jodie. Jodie, you're not setting a good example for Stephanie. Stephanie isn't setting a good example for Michelle, which makes Michelle think lying and breaking the rules is okay, and seeing Michelle break the rules and run wild only encourages DJ to break more rules, and the cycle repeats. I'm tired of this! Will you girls ever learn?

"You're grounded. Lock down. You will have almost no interaction with each other or anyone other than Jesse, Joey, and me. You will leave this house for school, nothing else. If I see you break any Lock Down rules, two weeks on Lock Down becomes two months. Am I understood?"

Jodie nodded. "Yes, Daddy."

"Yes, Dad," DJ agreed.

"Good. That window is coming out of your allowance, so I suggest you start on some extra chores," Danny ordered in a voice that told them starting on extra chores wasn't really a suggestion before leaving the room.

"I feel kind of bad," Jodie stated.

DJ nodded. "Me, too."

Unfortunately, they didn't feel bad enough because less than a month after being released from Lock Down, they started breaking rules and causing trouble once again.

Did you guys like Danny's rant? That was my favorite part.

Goodbye, everyone!
