A/N: This story is now on AO3, Wattpad, and DeviantART.
NOTE: This story is now rated M due to violence.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own the Annie franchise.
NOTE II: Also, the man who Carol exploded wasn't a member of the Bolsheviks.
The limousine eventually reached its destination at Oliver Warbucks' mansion. The girls looked at the huge ass mansion from the window.
Carol stated, "Whoo, we hit the big time!"
Grace mused, "Large, isn't it?"
Annie exclaimed, "Are we going on a train because this looks like a train station?"
Grace laughed, "No dear, this is Mr. Warbucks!"
Carol burst out chortling, "I can't believe you thought that was a train station!"
Annie huffed, "Well, I haven't seen large places like this, I've been cooped up in a dump, you know!"
They exited the car and saw that Sandy was barking.
"Leapin' Lizards!" whispered Annie in awestruck.
She and Carol spun the gazes up at a man named Punjab.
Sandy made barking noises at Punjab because he thought he was a threat and could be dangerous to the 10-year-olds and him.
Carol reminded, "Sandy, what did we say about strangers."
But Sandy continued to bark at Punjab.
Punjab grinned and performed some strange magical gestures to calm the Otterhound down.
Sandy was whimpering and lay down on the ground in peace to refresh himself.
"Holy fuck!" Carol exclaimed.
Annie stared at Punjab, "Wow!" She commented in amazement.
Carol claimed, "So magic is real!"
Punjab nodded, "Yeah, comes in the family!" He chuckled.
Carol smirked, "Please teach me your skills?" She requested.
Punjab replied, "I'll think about it, little one."
Grace directed Annie and Carol into the huge, massive ass mansion. They saw a woman looking after a bushel of flowers.
Annie smelled the flowers and sighed, "Smells like heaven."
Carol smelled them too and grinned, "Ah, that's the stuff!"
She took a flower and placed it in her hair. She turned to Annie, "Tell me how I look, Annie!"
Annie teased, "You like there's a flower bush growing flowers inside of you."
Carol stuck her tongue out at the redhead.
The 10-year-olds entered another room and their jaws dropped as they stared at the beautiful huge room. This house was not like other ordinary homes they'd seen. For one thing, it was actually clean, unlike the dump they lived in which was cramped with thousands of young orphan girls. This room had so much space they could possibly turn it into a playground.
Carol stared wide-eyed, "Jesus Christ!" She splurted out in shock.
"Leapin' Lizards!" Annie commented once again.
An employee named Drake walked up to Grace and coughed, "Recently been to the zoo, Grace!" He asked.
"No." Grace replied. "Now has the organ been returned." She started to list all the things that needed to be checked.
"Yes, Miss."
"Pool heated?"
"Yes."
"Tennis net up?"
"Yes."
"French doors fixed!"
"Yes."
"Elevator oiled?"
"Yes."
"Typewriter repaired?"
"Yes, Miss Farrell." Another employee assured.
"What about the second?"
"Yes."
"The backup one."
"Yes."
Drake coughed again, "God!"
Grace concerned asked, "Are you allergic to dogs?"
Drake reassured, "No filth."
Annie and Carol sighed in relief as Sandy might cause Drake some mischief and escapade with his allergy to him.
"Is dinner underway, Mrs. Pugh?" Grace asked.
Carol tried her best not to laugh and make a joke about the name. But seriously, she wouldn't be surprised if someone made a joke out of it.
"Yes," The chef herself uttered. "Preparing his favorite. Texas Grapefruit, Virginia ham, Idaho potatoes, Wisconsin cheese, Washington apples, and baked Alaska."
Annie licked her lips in hunger.
Carol commented, "Geeheez. Is this guy trying to kill himself with a heart attack or somethin'?" She lowered her voice so that they wouldn't hear her.
But still, the food listed must be fucking delicious. If anything, greater than what Miss Hannigan is currently serving at the orphanage.
Grace declared facing all of Mister Warbucks' workers, "I have an announcement to make everybody, I have an announcement. This is Annie and Carol."
Annie and Carol smiled warmly at everyone as they greeted them.
"They will be staying with us for a week!" Grace informed them.
"How lovely?" Mrs. Pugh rhetorically stated.
"He'll be staying with us so he won't bother anyone." Annie said.
"He's a little defensive of me and her to others." Carol added.
"Oh." Everyone wondered in realization.
One employer requested, "May I take your sweater, Miss?"
Annie looked uncomfortable, "Will I get it back?"
"Of course, Miss!" Another one confirmed as everyone chuckled.
"So, girls, what would you like to do first?" Grace asked.
Carol remarked, "I think I just need a laydown. Can one of you please take me to a room?"
One of the employees smiled and claimed, "I'd be happy too, Miss Carol."
They went all the way up.
Annie offered as she looked around, "The windows, then the floors, that way if I drip-"
Everyone chuckled in amusement.
Grace reached Annie's hand and informed her, "No, no, no, no, you don't understand, dear. You don't do any cleaning here."
"I don't?" Annie said in surprise. "How am I gonna earn my keep?"
Grace and the other employees stared at her in surprise. Where she came from must have not given her the best of care.
Grace however grinned, "Oh, you don't have to do anything around here." She enlightened.
"THANK GOD!" shrieked Carol from somewhere.
Cecille will pick out all your clothes
Blue is her best color, no, red I think
Your bath is drawn by Mrs. Greer
Soap... no, bubbles, I think
Annette comes in to make your bed
The silk, no the satin sheets, I think
I think I'm gonna like it here!
Some of the employees lay a red carpet on the floor as some measure Annie's height, length, and width. She was then lying on the pillow as someone was lifting her legs to make it seem like she was sleeping. Someone took a photo of that.
Grace carried Annie and continued to show Carol around.
The swimming pool is down the stairs
Inside the house? Oh boy!
The tennis court is in the rear
I never even picked up a racket
Have an instructor here at noon
Oh, and get that Don Budge fellow if he's available
I think I'm gonna like it here
Maids were setting up the dinner table as butlers were dancing around.
When you wake, ring for Drake
Drake will bring your tray
When you're through Mrs. Pugh
Comes to take it away (Annie!)
Sandy ate some of the food on the plate desperately hungry.
Annie!
Annie came dashing on the floor towards the workers. She then jumped onto the staircase.
No need to pick up any toys
"That's ok, I haven't got any anyway." Annie mentioned.
No finger will you lift my dear
We have but one request
Please put us to the test
I know I'm gonna like it here
Inside a large room, maids were setting up Annie's bed which was next to an already set up beautiful bed in which Carol was relaxing.
Annie was revealed to be under the duvet.
Carol wide-eyed, "You were there the whole time!" She screamed. "How did I not spot you?"
Annie smirked, "I'm just hard to find." To which Carol looked at her in annoyance.
Used to room in a tomb
Where I'd sit and freeze
Get me now, holy cow
Could someone pinch me please
Carol pinched her to which Annie moaned, "Ouch! The hell was that for?"
The maids grimaced at them.
Carol snarked, "To see if you're dreaming."
In the bathroom, Drake is bathing Sandy however this fails as Sandy escapes.
"Goddamn it!" He ranted.
Annie and Carol looked down from the balcony to see Sandy running around in bubbles.
Annie mused, "Why is Sandy running around in bubbles?"
Carol joked, "All well, at least he's not human."
Annie chortled with laughter, "Holy fuck, that just made my day."
The 10-year-olds hugged and then they proceeded towards a pipe organ.
Grace grinned and began to play a tune that went well with the music in the background.
Annie deadpanned, "Wow, leave it for the author to break the 4th wall."
The ten-year-olds looked down from the balcony to see more employees dancing which made them grin.
Carol commented, "I've never seen employees so positive like this in a long time."
Annie replied, "Me too."
The two then checked the balcony that showed a view of outside and saw a lovely garden. They also saw a gardener.
He greeted, "Hi, little ladies! I got something for ya." He was holding some lilies.
Hi climbed up the flowers and gave Annie and Carol the lilies, to which they smelled, and sighed in happiness.
Those two were in paradise.
Grace smiled grabbed the girls and took them downstairs.
We've never had a little girl
We've never had a little girl, we've never had a little girl
We're very, very, very glad to volunteer (I 'm glad they're glad to volunteer)
We hope you understand
Your wish is our command
We know we're gonna like it here (We know you're gonna like it here)
Annie and Carol shook all the workers' hands happily as someone took a photo of them. They were carried and were placed on the floor.
The employees went back to work.
Sandy crawled down in bubbles.
Carol smiled as she rolled her eyes, "Oh, Sandy!" She giggled and she ruffled his fur.
Annie pointed at someone, "Look!" She yelled.
Carol and Sandy saw a bald man in a tuxedo and a bow tie marching down the hallway.
Carol whispered to Sandy, "That must be Mister Warbucks himself, boy."
Sandy barked at her as a response.
Carol worried suggested, "You're right boy, let's hide."
Carol, Annie, and Sandy hid somewhere where they could still spot Mr. Warbucks to see what he was like.
Carol expressed, "He's rocking that tux though."
"Welcome home, sir." Grace greeted the man.
"Where's my painting?" Oliver demanded.
"They're just uncrating it, sir." The secretary briefed.
Oliver spotted the painting and it was apparently the Mona Lisa, a painting that cost loads. He looked at it critically and wasn't impressed by it. "What poppycock?." He asked rhetorically. "I'd rather you pick it up and burn the whole thing then bring it to me and I'll deal with the rest."
Grace mentioned, "By the way, Mr. Warbucks. The President phoned three times, it was very urgent."
Carol and Annie gasped.
Carol exclaimed in a whispery tone, "He's in contact with the potus!"
Oliver scoffed, "Everything's urgent to a Democrat. What else?"
Grace listed, "Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. DuPont, Mr. Carnegie."
As she listed the names, Carol controlled her joy of laughter.
As workers were carrying the Mona Lisa upstairs, Oliver stopped them.
"Wait! Something is interesting about that woman's smile!" He discovered. "She'll look beautiful in the bathroom."
Grace spoke, "Mr. Warbucks, I'd like you to meet-" She was cut off by her boss.
"No time for dinner tonight!" He told her. "Send out for an American cheese sandwich at midnight. Come along, let's get started."
"Mmmm!" hummed Carol after the mention of the sandwich.
Someone took a photo of Mr. Warbucks, which made the busy man scream and throw the camera on the ground.
"Aaaaaah! What the fuck is this?!" He cried.
Grace responded, her face remained in shock, "Oh, Mr. Warbucks! This is the press representative! Your image!" She shrieked.
Oliver thought and realized, "Oh! Ohohohoho, Right! Uh, pick him up, Punjab. Get him another camera." He instructed.
Punjab gently pulled the guy from the ground and took him somewhere else.
Grace and Oliver laughed in amusement however Oliver sniffed something he resented.
"The hell?" He muttered. "Why do I smell wet dog?" He demanded.
Annie and Carol got out of their hiding spot to greet Mr. Warbucks.
Carol greeted, "Hi, Mr. Warbucks. The name's Caroline but I go as Carol." She introduced.
Annie answered Mr. Warbucks' question, "We gave Sandy a bath."
Carol praised, "What a large house, you have."
Oliver looked at them with disgust, "What's this?"
Grace answered, "They're the orphans that will be staying with us, sir. Their names are Annie and Carol and the dog's name is Sandy."
Oliver confused snarled, "Orphan? What are you talking about?"
Grace clarified, "They wanted to take photos of you sharing your home with an orphan. Don't you remember sir, it's only for a week."
Carol glared, "What? This is just for stupid photos!"
Oliver complained, "This doesn't look like a boy! Orphans are boys."
Annie and Carol felt offended by that, mostly by Carol.
Carol reminded, "Oh, you didn't say a boy. You just said an orphan, so I got a girl."
Oliver snapped, "I want a boy!" He barked.
Carol retorted, "If you want a boy so badly, you could deflate our-"
Annie cut her off and uttered confidently, "I've got an interesting smile too sir. Don't you think you could learn to like me too, sir? Hang me in the bathroom." She joked.
Oliver required as she had enough with them, "Take them back, now!"
Grace argued pleadingly, "Oh, sir, she just got here."
Annie assured, "Perfectly fine, Miss Farrell. We'll be okay, right, Carol?"
Carol nodded, "Restfully okay." She added in agreement.
Annie continued, "It was really nice meeting you, anyhow. I sure do like your place."
Carol complimented, "Me too! It looks better than where we came from and we took a shortcut here."
Oliver appreciated it, "Thank you, Annette and Caropine."
They snapped, "IT'S ANNIE/CAROLINE!"
That surprised both Oliver and Grace.
Annie remarked, "I had a swell time singin' that song earlier. The Asp drove us here in a car the size of a train, Mr. Warbucks-"
Carol exclaimed, "AND A MAN PERFORMED MAGIC ON OUR DOG!"
Annie listed, "We made one of your workers sneeze, Carol played a wonderful tune on your pipe organ, and Sandy got a nice bubble bath."
Carol snickered, "And he ran around the place like he was human naked."
Annie replied, "I had enough fun to last me for years. It's a really swell idea to have an orphan for a week. A really terrific idea."
Carol added, "That would benefit society."
Annie proceeded, "Even if it's only for your image. Even if we're not the orphans, we're glad you're doing it."
Oliver nodded in understanding, "I'm glad you approve." He snapped quickly towards Grace. "Let's go to work!" He yelled.
Carol claimed, "Welp, time for plan B."
She began to sing:
Maybe far away
Or ma-
"SHUT UP!" Oliver barked.
"Are you sure you need a boy, sir? Couldn't she stay?" Grace begged.
Oliver irritated finally gave in, "Whatever?! But just for the week!"
Grace gave a thumbs up to Annie and Carol with a smile. Annie grinned while Carol smirked. This will be a long week for them.
Carol wondered, "You know, I could really use a gym."
Grace offered, "One of the maids can show you the way, dear."
Meanwhile, in a prison, a man very familiar was sitting in a cell looking very pissed off.
"This place can rot…" He ranted. "I won't be here for long though, not on my watch."
He turned to the wall and saw the tallies on the wall and and added another tally.
"Yes, just a few days 'til I know what's comin'." He growled. "Hopefully, my ol' lover will come and break me out."
He then noticed a guard cop approaching his cell.
"Hey, inmate!" He greeted. "I heard you're gettin' a visitor today."
The prisoner smirked, "Ooh, is it who I hope it is?!"
He shrugged, "I don't know! I honestly don't know why anybody would visit an ass like you."
Inmate glared, "Fuck off! Just because I don't have many companions doesn't mean I can't still kick your ass."
The cop pointed to him warningly, "Hey, knock it off, inmate!" He demanded. "Or else your dinner will be served cold."
He complained, "The food here's already inadequate."
The guard turned around still in front of the inmate's cell. "God! My back has been achin' from all that trainin'!"
The inmate snarked, "Has it also been achin' from all those donuts you've been snackin'."
Guard snapped, "Shut up, inmate!"
The inmate insisted, "Tell you what, buddy, what if I can give your an ol' fashion massage."
The guard's emotions perked up.
The inmate asked, "So, what do ya say?"
The guard agreed to his provisions. "Sure," His face transformed to stern. "But when you finish you'll enter this exact cell, ya hear me."
The inmate nodded, "Sure."
The guard unlocked the cage and let him out.
He smirked as this was a chance for him to make his escape. This guy doesn't know what's coming.
"Now I want you to really harden the center." He urged.
The inmates responded, "Of course."
He then began to massage him - which made the guard moan so weirdly.
He feigned his smiling expression and said, "You like that, big man?"
The guard nodded softly, "This is really refreshing."
"He's distracted." The inmate thought. "Now to waste him."
He spotted a few cash bucks in the cop's left pocket. As his right hand proceeded with the massaging, his sticky left hand snatched the money from the pocket.
He whistled in victory. "Big American Buffos!"
He then snatched a firearm gun from his right pocket.
The guard moaned, "Ah! That hits the spot!"
The inmate remarked, "And now it's really about to his the spot."
He kicked his back and sent him flying to the floor. "Ah! You motherfu-"
The inmate pulled out his firearm and pulled the trigger shooting his face realising all the blood spreading on the floor.
"That is something." He commented. He crowed like a rooster and that's funny since his nickname is "Rooster".
Rooster then walked his way out of the cell room and into the visitor station. In line number II, he saw his new girlfriend Lily St. Regis.
Lily chuckled, "Welcome to your love chamber, Roost."
Rooster smiled, "You look fashionable as always, Lil'!"
Lily sighed, "I wish I would've found ya sooner. I've been stressed out lately because of your absence."
Rooster took one of his girlfriend's cigarettes and blew it, "Eh, luckily one of the guards is," He crowed, "Coo Coo!"
His lover laughed again, "Oh, you are a heart! Don't worry, I break you out."
She exited the room and a few minutes later everything got dark. When the electricity came back, officers marched into the room to observe everyone only to find loads of corpses on the ground.
On top of that, they found cut-out body parts and organs.
"Leapin' Lizards!" They gasped.
Rooster and Lily were mechanically laughing as they were sprinting from the prison.
"We did good, babe!" Rooster claimed.
"Now, let's hit a hotel with disguises!" Lily suggested.
"But first, let's give my older sister a visit!" Rooster required.
Lily crossed her arms, "But I want some alone time with you." She pouted.
Rooster assured, "Don't fret 'bout it. It'll just to get more extra cash."
Lily hinted, "Isn't she an Orphanage matron?"
Rooster responded, "Yep! She became one when Mom and Pops died and began to be very depressed when this despicable depression came in!"
Lily rolled her eyes, "I don't give a shit! Let's just visit the ol' pissworm."
They continued their journey.
Back in the Orphanage, all the orphans were still being forced under Miss Hannigan's strict orders to clean the entire building. They were miserably singing the same song again.
It was a definitive Hard Knock Life for all of 'em.
But not all of the little girls were obeying Miss Hannigan's demands. Pepper, Kate, Duffy, July, Tessie, and Molly were hanging out in their bedroom.
Pepper groaned, "Ugh! THERE'S NOTHING TO DO HERE!"
Tessie added, "I know right! It's like Miss Hannigan just wants us to go through hell!"
July deadpanned, "That's exactly what she wants, you twit!"
Kate replied, "I don't think I can take another second living the Hard Knock!"
Tessie whined, "I just wanna be my self but I can't since we're cooped up here!"
Duffy hinted, "We can just listen on Miss Hannigan's radio."
Tessie argued, "There's no entertainment on those stations."
Kate agreed, "If Annie and Carol were here, they would at least make it interesting."
Pepper growled. "Traitors!"
Molly spun her gaze up at her. "They're not traitors." She said.
"She's right," Kate added glaring at Pepper. "They're just desperate to make a run from Miss Hannigan's clutches."
Pepper snarked, "Oh really." She clicked her fingers as a demand towards Duffy, who grabbed a stool and placed it in front of Pepper. She stepped on it. "Then why did they ditch us all then, huh? We could've all had happiness and joy for one week but they just thought of themselves."
July joked, "You are basically talkin' 'bout yourself."
Everyone began to snicker.
Pepper snapped, "SHUT UP!"
Molly added, "I don't think Mister Warbucks would have been happy if many orphans stayed at his house."
Pepper glared at her, "Shut ya trap, idiot! Why are ya here anyways? Your baby ass belongs on the streets so that you can cry hard enough to make everyone laugh at you."
Molly began to wail.
July glared at her, "Way to go. You made Molly cry, again."
Duffy scowled, "The sixth time today."
Kate demanded, "Why are you always so mean to her?!"
Pepper snapped, "SHUT THE FUCK UP, ALL OF YOU!"
Duffy roared, "GET HER!"
Duffy and July once again pounced on Pepper and began to fight her, which frightened Tessie and Molly. They always resulted in them resorting to violence in their conflicts.
Molly whimpered to Kate, "Do they always have to solve their problems in fighting like this?"
Kate sighed, "Sadly, yes."
Tessie cried, "Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!" she chanted.
Kate muttered under her breath, "As if she says anything else."
Duffy bit Kate's arm.
"OW!" She rubbed her arm in pain. She stood up and declared, "RIGHT!"
She grabbed Tessie and they both joined in on the fight.
The fight was causing messes around the room such as beds collapsing and more.
This made Molly cry harder.
Kate darted her eyes towards them and whistled finally concluding the quarrel, "SILENCE BRATS! LOOK AROUND YOU!"
The orphans viewed the whole room and saw it as a pig sty. Literally, everything looked like a trash pile.
Duffy stammered, "We-we're monst-ters!"
July protested, "We seriously need therapy!"
Tessie cried in tears, "Why are we like this?!"
Kate sighed and answered, "Because of the depression! Also, it's most likely because Annie and Carol aren't here to sort it all out."
Pepper remarked sadly, "We're so dysfunctional."
Molly uttered in sorrow, "It really is a Hard Knock Life."
Kate got up and ordered, "Come on! Let's clean this mess before Miss Hannigan checks on it!"
Speaking of Miss Hannigan, she is currently listening to the radio listening on the romantic station.
"You know what?" A masculine voice on the radio asked.
"What?" Agatha smirked.
"I love you." He proclaimed.
Agatha grinned, "I know." she chuckled.
"Kiss me as only you can."
"You devil!" She huffed lightly.
She brought the radio towards her lips and kissed it. However, her expression turned from delight to humiliation when it was revealed that some orphans were watching her and began to laugh at her.
She cried, "Oh, go away!" She pulled the curtains but they fell on her. She gloomily began to sing.
Little girls, little girls
Everywhere I turn I can see them
She pulled the curtain beside her in front of the window.
Little girls, little girls
Night and day I eat, sleep and breathe them
I'm an ordinary woman with feelings
I'd like a man to nibble on my ear
But I'll admit no man has bit
So how come I'm the mother of the year?
She raised up from the bed and approached a doll, presumably taken from an orphan by her. She blocked the doll with the radio box somewhat breaking it.
She lifted the toy up.
How I hate little shoes, little socks
And each little bloomer
I'd have cracked years ago
If it weren't for my sense of humor
She decapitated the doll.
Some women are dripping with diamonds
She opened her closet to get some clothing. An orphan - who's punishment was the be placed in the closet - made a face at Agatha, which got unwitnessed by the grim matron. Also, the orphan escaped.
Some women are dripping with pearls
Lucky me, lucky me
Look at what I'm dripping with little girls
She threw the clothing away not noticing an orphan. But then she turned around and screamed at the orphans.
"GET OUT!" She barked.
Her demands prompted them to evacuate the room.
Agatha began to drunk herself and freqeuntly clicked her glass. She sighed.
Little cheeks, little teeth
Everything around me is little
If I wring little neck
Surely I will get an acquittal
She grinned hopefully.
Some day I'll step on their freckles
Some night I'll straighten their curls
She entered the bathroom and began to drink again.
Send a flood, send the flu
Anything that you can do to little little little
little little little
Ha! Little girls
In the mirror's reflection, Rooster and Lily can be seen watching what Agatha is doing.
"She's a drunk?!" Lily exclaimed.
Rooster informed, "Told ya!"
They both walked away to enter a secret passageway.
Agatha continued to sing as she remained boozed. She dropped her bear in the bathtub and began stirring it.
Some day I'll land in the nut house
With all the nuts and the squirrels
There I'll stay tucked away
Until the prohibition of little girls
She screamed when saw her brother.
Rooster crowed and approached his older sister.
"Greetings, sis." Rooster greeted kissing Agatha on the cheek.
Agatha in shock stated, "Rooster, you're supposed to be in the big house."
Rooster snarked, "No prison is big enough to hold me."
Lily added slyly, "He's a bad man."
Rooster sighed, "Where are my manners? Aggie, this is my new lover. Lily St. Regis."
Lily enlightened, "Named from the hotel."
Agatha spat out, "Room service."
Rooster held his sister's hand and summarised, "I basically killed the guard and my hot, hot, hot hot, hot, beautiful lady." He smirked. "Broke the electricity and we both killed almost everyone in the prison."
While this was being said, Lily's sticky fingers activated and snuck into Agatha's jewelry box and stole the goods.
Agatha gasped in shock. She knew Rooster was a serial killer as she witnessed him murdering their parents back in 1907.
"Jesus," She murmured.
Rooster asked, "You still tryna find a husband?"
Agatha wailed, "It's so flippin' hopeless! Everyone rejected me or just used me."
Lily thought snarkily in her head, "Can't blame 'em."
Rooster snickered and snarked under his breath, "Well there's no surprise there."
Agatha turned to him suspiciously, "What was that, brother?"
Rooster replied in a casual tone, "Nothin'."
Agatha smiled, "Well it's swell to see ya. It's been tirin' sitting for all these twerps."
Rooster said, "I'm actually here because I need some dough."
Agatha looked sodden, "...oh."
Rooster proceeded, "You see, I stole some money from the guard back at the clink and this isn't enough. Not for now anyway."
Agatha grumbled, "How much, Roost?"
Rooster laughed, "Why I only need 8 dollars, cupcake."
Agatha chortled along too and dryly answered, "Not even a nickel for the subway."
Rooster pleaded gently, "Oh, come on, sis!"
Agatha approached his new girlfriend, "I bet Miss Sticky Fingers here can loan you 5 bucks."
Lily seemed innocent, "I beg your pardon, sweetheart. It's rude to judge others, I mean have you read the bible?"
Agatha demanded, "Alright, hand over the goods, toots."
Lily huffed, "This is so not polite." she hypocritically claimed.
Agatha rolled her eyes at her.
Lily handed Agatha all the goods back as Rooster's sticky fingers couldn't help themselves and snuck into Agatha's bag to steal more of her collectibles.
Agatha sighed, "You two are made for each other, I mean you're both serial killers and much more."
Rooster nodded, "Yep, I even met her at that exact hotel!"
Agatha clarified, "If I give you at least 5 bucks and I mean 5, take this dumb hotel and get the hell out of here."
"Fine, but let me just do somethin'." Rooster snickered. He exited the room and then pulled out his shot gun the blew up all the orphans lining up for the toilet. Their blood spread on the floor with their remains being on the ground.
Rooster entered the room and nodded again, "Sure," he grinned at Lily. "Let's go, beautiful."
Lily beamed, "Finally!"
They both exited Agatha's room along with the stuff Rooster stole so that they could sell to make more bucks.
Agatha stretched her arms and legs which made them crack. She then searched through her bag but it was plain empty and that could only mean one thing.
"ROOSTER!"
Annie and Carol have been almost everywhere around Mr. Warbucks' mansion. They've experienced things new to 'em. They imagined all the orphans' reactions when they view the house for the first time.
"...This place sure is big." Carol commenting.
Annie nodded in agreement. "It's much happier than back home."
"Well, it's richer and bigger." Carol added before smiling smugly. "The bitches at home will be delighted and shocked to see a setting this beautiful."
Annie squealed again, "Leapin' Lizards, this house has it all."
Annie stated, "I think I even saw a scientist creating shocking revelations."
Carol notified, "Ya know, I even saw a boxer here and I just couldn't resist the complete urge to ask him to train me sometime."
Annie gasped, "A boxer?!"
Carol then realized something and asked, "There's somethin' that has remained in my head. Why'd Miss Hannigan want us to stay even though she'd want us to be fed to the sharks. "
Annie grumbled, "Probably to receive more dough."
Carol agreed. "She's always such a grouch especially when it comes to children."
Annie asked, "So, how do you think the orphans are livin' at home?"
Carol scoffed, "Pepper is certainly bullyin' Molly right now."
Annie glared, "The nerve of that brute."
Carol sighed, "All of 'em are probably still depressed and the only way to get out of their stress is to annoy Miss Hannigan or play the radio."
Annie snarked, "She has idiotic hiding places for that thing."
Carol sneered, "I even stole some of her loot."
Agatha was looking in her draws to find some money but they were all dead empty with them having spider webs.
She shrieked, "ROOSTER!"
Annie mentioned, "That's how it's always been. Population of non-orphans have decreased." She grinned hopefully. "But my folks are still alive and I know it."
Carol shook her head and thought. "Her level of depression is extremely low if she still thinks her folks will return for her." She thought in her head.
Annie yanwed, "Well, I think it's time for some shut-eye."
Carol looked shocked, "You kiddin' me?! It's only 5am."
Annie retorted, "Some people need their beauty sleep." That remark made Carol raise her eyebrow.
Back in the Orphanage, the orphan group was in their beds. Predictably, Miss Hannigan found out about the mess they made and were punished with big massive whoopings with extra violence and slavery. Teardrops were on their beds… especially Molly's of course.
"Hey." pouted Molly. "Stupid Writer." she thought.
"This sucks." Pepper sighed.
Kate sighed in guilt, "Hey, Peps. I'm sorry we were so furious at you."
"Yeah, even though you caused Molly's wailing." Duffy murmured.
"Ugh, it's okay." Pepper accepted. "I kinda had it comin'."
"Still though, it wasn't right." July said apologetically.
"Yeah, such bitches we are." claimed Tessie.
"Eh, it was mostly me and July." Duffy pointed out.
"Why are we like this?!" Molly cried.
"We're so disfunctional" murmured Pepper.
Kate frowned, "It's because of this stupid depression guys."
"How did it even start?" Tessie asked.
"The Stocket Market crash from 4 years ago." growled Pepper as a matter-of-factly.
"We're basically feelin' it!" July said.
"And Miss Hannigan abusing us really helps." Molly shivered.
"She doesn't frighten me." Pepper scoffed.
"I saw you crying earlier from your first whoopin'." Kate deadpanned.
"Screw you." Pepper retorted.
"It's not her fault though," Molly whimpered. "They really hurt."
"The fact that the CPS agency hasn't checked properly for neglect towards us is shocking." Duffy commented in surprise.
"Eh, they probably want us to be neglected." theorized July in unamusement.
"Okay, I think it's best we all hit the hay, shall we." Kate recommended out loud.
"Hit the hay?" Tessie questioned, puzzled.
"She means "go to sleep", dumbass." Pepper corrected.
They snuggled and tucked themselves in bed and began to sing one of Annie's most popular songs.
Betcha he reads
Betcha she sews
Maybe she's made me
A closet of clothes!
Maybe they're strict
As straight as a line
don't really care
As long as they're mine!
So maybe now this prayer's
The last one of it's kind
Won't you please come get your baby
Maybe?
They all snored in their slumber.
A pov of a girl was wandering around the house and was taking deep breaths. She then heard a rooster crowing.
"COCK-A-DOODLE DOO!" That sounded more like a human.
The girl ran upstairs and into her mother's room. "Mommy! Mommy! Someone's trying to-" She let out a loud scream when she saw her mother's bloody and cut out face.
"MOMMY!" she wailed.
She ran downstairs to the backdoor but then heard the same crowing noise. She turned around and then saw a shadow figure staring at her.
Confused, she asked, "Hello. Who is that?"
The shadow figure pulled up an axe, which made her cry once again. He pulled it up and was about the attack her…
Carol screamed but then zipped her mouth to not wake up Annie. She had enough of comforting her anyway. But then she heard someone dashing in the backyard of the Warbucks Mansion. She looked outside and saw someone with a huge bomb.
"What the hell?!" She shrieked with both confusion and shock.
She couldn't afford to let everyone at the mansion die because of him. So, she raised herself from the bed and began to stretch herself. Then she placed herself on the window and bravely saw the man dashing.
"You motherfucker." She cursed.
She pounced from the window on the man and began to mercilessly attack him.
"GET THE FUCK OF ME!" The bomb man demanded.
"Not until you piss off and never attempt to kill us AGAIN!" Carol snapped.
"YOU BITCH SLUT!" The bomb man growled.
The bomb man managed to escape Carol's grasp and threw her on the ground.
Carol then kicked the bomb man in the balls, making him wince in pain.
"Goddamn it!" He complained of falling.
Carol then picked up his bomb and put it inside the man's mouth making him choke.
"Ah! Shihihihit!" His face began turning violet as the bomb began going down his stomach.
"Burn in hell, Bomb-moron!" Carol snarked.
"Why would you-" He was cut off when his entire body exploded.
The explosion woke up Annie as well as earned all of Oliver's employees including him some attention.
"Gee! What was that loud noise, Sandy?!" Annie questioned in curiosity.
Sandy barked in reply.
"We might as well check." Annie uttered.
Carol then climbed inside the house through the window.
Annie gasped, "Carol, where have you been."
Carol commented, "Let's just say I saved your lives."
Annie gave her an eye-roll, "You've been dreamin' again."
Carol sighed, "Annie, you know I haven't had a "good" dream in years."
Annie turned sympathetic, "Oh yeah, sorry 'bout that."
Carol smirked, "You will be sorry once you see me explodin' a man."
Annie turned to her and said, "Have you been drinkin' lately."
Carol ranted in disgust, "Ew, no. I'm not Ms. Hannigan."
Annie laughed and replied, "Just kiddin'." Carol glared at her. "But seriously that story sounds ridiculous."
Carol, Annie, and Sandy had directed themselves to Mr. Warbucks's office where he was busy at work while Grace was writing out the topics Mr. Warbucks was clarifying.
"What's this?!" Oliver demanded.
"My dog's not used to sleeping in a room all by himself. He gets so lonesome." Annie answered.
"Some filthy boys were chasing 'im down." Carol revealed to them.
"How sad?!" Oliver remarked insensitively. He spun his gaze at Grace, "So, where were we, Farrell?"
"I also exploded a man!" Carol explained. "He was trying to murder y'all."
Everyone in the room stared at her as some blinked.
"Wait! You had something to do with that explosion?" Oliver questioned.
"Yep!" Carol nodded.
"Well, at least you dealt with him." Oliver stated.
Punjab whispered, "You do realize she just straight-up murdered someone, right?"
"Oh relax, Punjab." Oliver instructed. "He was tryin' to murder us." His phone was ringing.
"Oh! Goddamn it!" He mumbled.
"Who's callin'?" Carol asked.
"The President." Oliver spat out. "He wants my support for the New Deal."
"He's our president, sir." Annie remarked.
"Come on, dear." Punjab ordered. "Time to go to bed."
"Wait! Can we go to the pool before bed?!" Carol pleaded.
"Fine!" Oliver replied.
Annie and Carol were wearing their swimming suits and were about to swim for the first time.
"Swimming, what a joy?!" beamed Annie. She was the only orphan at Miss Hannigan's to have experienced swimming.
"Leapin' Lizards, I've never been swimming. I hope I don't drown." Carol shivered in fear.
Annie let a comforting hand on her shoulder, "It'll be fine." She soothed. "Just follow my lead and you'll swimming in no time."
"Oh-okay." She stammered.
Carol stepped into the pool and it was very cold. "Blasted! It's c-c-c-c-c-c-cold!" She stuttered.
Annie stared. "Is it really?" She asked in a flat tone.
"Yes it is okay," Carol retorted with a glare.
"Just be careful of the sharks." teased Annie.
Carol cried, "SHARKS!"
She pulled Annie's leg to to let her in the pool.
"You're gonna teach me how to swim or else!" Carol commanded aggressively.
Annie giggled, she was amused by her behavior, "Okay, okay, sis."
Oliver chuckled softly, "Ah, you'll get it soon child. See the- AAAH!"
Sandy had unexpectedly pounced on Oliver because he misunderstood his wailing from earlier.
"S-S-S-Sandy!" Carol scolded, stammering due to the coldness. "B-B-B_Ba-a-ad Boyyyy!"
,
"He thought you were drowning, Mr. Warbucks!" Annie argued, defensive of her precious dog. "He was trying to save your life." She eventually went into the pool and got Sandy out of it.
"I hope he didn't piss in the pool." Carol moaned.
"Go on, you mutt!" He yelled in frustration. "Get out of here."
"Like my suit!" Annie grinned in delight.
"Yes!" complimented Oliver as Carol was taking deep breaths to get used to the pool.
"Miss Farrell chosed it out for me." claimed Annie.
"Strange, because a butler one of my options was nudity," Carol stated. "Seriously, I think that guy's a pedophile."
"I'll have him fired immediately." scowled Oliver. He then refreshed himself and smiled at Carol and Annie. "Never thought I'd get used to a girl. Let alone, two."
"Oh, boys are gross. They have cuties." Carol has a dramatic disgusted expression.
Oliver laughed, "You won't be saying that in your teenage years."
Annie hinted, "Boys are much easier to get used to than boys."
Carol then glared and ranted, "Fitlthy boys even tried to hurt Sandy, but Annie kicked their asses."
Annie smiled softly, "Hey, it would've taken longer if weren't for you."
Carol giggled, "Oh don't be so modest, Annie."
Oliver was amused by their relationship.
Annie then uttered, "By the way, Mr. Warbucks, Grace thinks you're the greatest thing since sliced bread."
Oliver coughed, "I beg your pardon, young mistress."
Annie concluded, "I know it's none of my business but you never notice anything."
Carol thought about that for a moment. She could imagine if Oliver and Grace were a couple, kissing, getting married, and then adopting her… Oh, who was she kidding? Why the hell would they want to adopt a bunch of filthy orphans into their wonderful huge mansion?
Still, it would be nice,
In the conference room, Annie's playing with her toy plane running around the office. However, Oliver wasn't amused with this as he was speaking to someone on the phone.
Carol is being taught by Johnny Adams in boxing. She is currently punching a punching bag.
"Remember to give punches at the right time. Also, take the punching bag as if it was one of those boys who tried to rape you." Johnny recommended.
Carol screamed as she began to punch it so hard.
Punjab was using his magic to lift the plane to entertain the 10-year-old.
"Don't encourage her, Punjab!" Oliver shouted.
Grace apologized, "I'm sorry, sir. Maybe I should take her and Carol out."
Carol beamed as she put off her boxing gloves, "Good idea, I always wanted to see the good parts of the city."
Annie explained, "We've never been because Ms. Hannigan always kept us isolated in the orphanage."
Oliver asked, "Well, where'd you wanna go?"
"Can we visit President Roosevelt?" Annie requested, much to Oliver's irritation.
"How about a movie?" Grace quickly suggested.
"Pepper went to a movie once." Annie informed.
Carol added, "And we all never believed her because I'm pretty sure she spent most of her life in the Orphanage."
"And Miss Hannigan goes all the time." Annie enlightened.
"Splendid, take her to the Radio City Music Hall." Oliver ordered.
"Aww, aren't you gonna come?" Carol sulked.
"Yeah, take us!" Annie demanded.
"Me." He laughed bitterly. "Annie, you may think that Miss Farrell does all the work around here but you've only lived here for a few hours so it's a critical thing to claim. I'm a business man trying to cope with this depression."
"I didn't mean to get in the way Mr. Warbucks." Annie apologized.
"Yeah, we can just sit in our room full of boredom." Carol whined.
"I'll go practice my backhand." Annie uttered turning around.
Grace and Oliver traded glances while Carol maintained her drilled face.
"Pepper lies a lot. She probably hasn't been to one either. Actually, I think it's better when you don't know what you're missing."
Oliver had been consuming some guilt so he eventually took in their request. "Fine…" he sighed.
Later that night…
Grace, Carol, and Annie were getting prepared for the movies. Carol and Annie were more excited than they'd ever been in their entire lives. They've never had so much fun than they were before.
"You know you should leave your hair down." Annie advised.
"Yeah, like me. Before I lived at the Orphanage, my mother always admired my hair down." Carol informed.
"Oh, Annie. I couldn't, I just couldn't. No, no, no, no, no, no." Grace laughed, blushing a little.
"Miss Hannigan says a man don't lose your brains." Annie urged.
"And then you can flip your hair like this." Carol encouraged, demonstrating by flipping her own hair.
"Oh really? Oh my goodness." Grace beamed.
Back in the Orphanage, Tessie felt something from her heart.
"Why do I feel like someone just said my famous line?" Tessie asked herself.
"Shut up!" Pepper loudly whispered.
"But I-"
"Go to sleep, Tess." Kate ordered, still tired.
Back in the mansion…
"Oh, come on, girls." Grace beamed. "Let's go to the movies."
"Let's go see the stars." Annie and Carol sang in sync.

Grace, Carol, and Annie, in their formal wear, danced their way to the car.
Let's go to the movies
Annie, Carol and me!
They eventually reached their destination at the theatres. They walked through the hallway and saw a line of employees. They then reached the actual theater room and it amazed Carol and Annie's minds.
"OHH!" Carol yelled.
"She's just excited." Annie chuckled.
Welcome to the movies!

Everyone clapped their hands at the Rockettes performance.
"Amazing." Annie grinned.
"So, what's the movie genre?" Carol asked.
"Oh, it's a romantic drama." answered Grace.
"Hopefully, it ain't borin'." Carol hoped.
In the middle of the movie, Carol and Annie were conversing.
Carol giggled, "The orphans at home would be so jealous of us right now."
Annie laughed, "I know right, and most of all, Ms. Hannigan."
They both snickered to themselves.
Later that night, they both fell asleep and were carried to bed. For the first time, Oliver felt his heart warming up to the female orphans. He really did and Grace knew and smirked at him.
