Dorothy found herself facing a task that was, in her opinion, even more challenging than navigating the labyrinthine corridors of Arkham Asylum—babysitting her younger twin siblings, Lenoir and Lewis. The catch? Dorothy's parents happened to be none other than Jervis Tetch, the Mad Hatter, and Jonathan Crane, the Scarecrow. It was a combination that promised an extraordinary evening.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the cityscape, Jervis Tetch and Jonathan Crane prepared to celebrate their anniversary with a rare night out. They donned their most refined attire, leaving a detailed list of instructions for Dorothy on the kitchen counter. The instructions included warnings about certain rooms that were off-limits, reminders about bedtime, and a note about using caution with any mysterious-looking hats.
Dorothy, being the responsible and level-headed daughter that she was, took the instructions to heart. She watched her parents depart with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. Once the door closed behind them, Dorothy turned her attention to her mischievous siblings.
Lenoir and Lewis, identical in appearance but distinct in their mischievous personalities, were already plotting to turn the evening into their own adventure. Dorothy, with a sigh, knew she had her work cut out for her.
The evening unfolded with a series of peculiar events. Lenoir discovered a collection of mesmerizing hats in her father's study and insisted on trying each one on. Lewis, on the other hand, decided it was the perfect time to conduct impromptu fear experiments with some makeshift scarecrow costumes.
As the night progressed, Dorothy found herself chasing after the twins through the twisting hallways of the Tetch-Crane residence. The Mad Hatter's tea room became a temporary playground, with teacups and saucers transformed into miniature forts for an imaginary tea party. Meanwhile, the Scarecrow's study turned into a makeshift haunted maze as Lewis attempted to recreate the eerie atmosphere of his father's experiments.
Despite the chaos, Dorothy managed to keep her siblings relatively in check. She used her knowledge of their parents' eccentricities to her advantage, employing a mix of Wonderland-inspired games and psychological tactics to keep Lenoir and Lewis entertained yet compliant.
Eventually, the night wore on, and the twins began to tire. Dorothy guided them to their rooms, ensuring they were nestled safely in bed. As the clock struck midnight, signaling the end of her babysitting adventure, Dorothy couldn't help but reflect on the uniqueness of her family.
When Jervis Tetch and Jonathan Crane returned, they found their home in a state of whimsical disarray. Dorothy, with a mix of exhaustion and satisfaction, greeted her parents with a smile. The Mad Hatter and the Scarecrow, surprisingly understanding, thanked Dorothy for her efforts and commended her on managing their peculiar offspring.
And so, in the dimly lit halls of the Tetch-Crane residence, a tale unfolded—a story of a daughter's unconventional babysitting adventure, filled with tea parties, scarecrow experiments, and the peculiar magic that only Gotham's most eccentric families could provide.
