Author Notes: Toddlers can be a handful, and what you are all about to read bellow is sort of inspired by something my nephew did to his older brother.

"Shh, your being to loud" four year old Danielle whispered to her younger sister, putting a finger to her lips.

"No you are!" Tawny snapped back, pushing the other girl.

The twins glared at each other then broke out in giggles but instantly had to cover their mouths."Stop laughing!" Danielle whispered.

"You stop laughing!"

After a few moments the giggles settled down and it was back to their mission.

"Come on, hurry up!" The older girl said impatiently.

"Ok, but 'member that we got to be really quiet" Tawny responded "Like a mouse"

"Your afraid of mice" her sister pointed out.

"No I'm not!" She shot back "I just don't like them"

"Your a terrible liar"

Tawny huffed as she took off her shoes. "I know, now lets go"

Danielle nodded and they started their journey to the living room, tiptoeing down the stairs to make sure their target didn't wake up.

To their relief their mom didn't move as the twins made their way to the couch.

The young duo almost backed down when Jade seemed to move but quickly got their composure when they realized she just snored.

"Umm Tori" the woman said in her sleep.

"Why does Mom always say mama's name in her sleep?" Tawny asked her eldest sister.

Danielle just shrugged, she had no clue, not that it mattered they had a mission to do, so once they were right next to their sleeping mother, both siblings poked her just to be sure she was truly in dreamland.

Jade only swatted her hand, thinking a fly was to blame.

when the twins were sure their mom was not going to wake up, they began.

"Do you got 'em?"

Tawny reached into her back pocket and proudly pulled out two markers.

Her sister nodded in approval and grabbed the purple one, leaving the magenta marker for the younger girl.

"Um.. Tori... That's a nice kitty"

"Aww" Tawny gushed "Mom is dreaming about cats!"

"Shh!" Her older sister said "Don't talk to loudly, you can wake her up dummy!"

"Sorry"

Jade just snored again.

Both twins exchanged looks, wondereding how on Earth their mom didn't wake up.

"Are you sure this will work?"

"I'm sure"

"Ok, so where do we start?"

Danielle shrugged and uncapped her marker, soon inspiration struck and she began to draw a moustache like those villains she saw in those old cartoons! giggling all the time, then she abruptly stopped when she noticed that her sister's hand was on her chin.

"What are you doing?" She whispered harshly

"I'm drawing her a beard!" Tawny replied.

"Well stop it!" Danielle growled "Draw somewhere else!"

"Why should I?!" She asked indignantly, glaring daggers at her sister.

Danielle glared back and pushed the hand away "Because I'm older than you, now stick to your side!"

"Oh!" Tawny moaned but complied, she then began drawing squiggles everywhere.

soon both girls thought it looked fun so they both went crazy with their markers.

"A butterfly here!"

"A ghost here"

"A little smiling sun here"

"Some lines here"

After a few minutes, Jade's sleepy face, as well as her neck, torso, and arms were adorned with different types of figures.

The two sisters stepped back and admired their handy work.

"Mom looks pretty!" Tawny gushed proudly.

"Jade! Girls! I'm home!"

The twins gasped in surprise "It's mama!"

Tori walked into the living room, noticing her daugthers "Oh hi girls"

"Hi mama!" The twins greeted, hiding the markers behind them.

"What have you two been up to?"

"Uh... Drawing?" Tawny answered.

Danielle glared at her sister, she really didn't know how to lie.

"That's nice" The tanned woman said with a smile as she approached them "I made dinner so as soon as your mom is..."

Tori stopped mid-sentence, finally noticing her wife's latest "make up" for a lack of better term.

The brunette slowly looked at her children "I dont even know where to begin"

"Uh... How about good job?" Danielle said lamely.

"No... Not good job" Tori said with a frown, "That's your mom... Not a coloring book...I... I can't even begin to understand what possessed you to do this!"

"We just wanted mom to spend more time with us!" Tawny admitted.

Their mama raised an eyebrow in confusion "What?"

"It's just that mom always works so hard" Danielle answered this time "And when we wanna spend time with her, she's too tired to play with us"

Tawny nodded "We just thought that if we did something bad, she would be around more"

Tori's eyes softened "Oh baby" She lowered to her children's level "While your reasoning was incredibly flawed, it's something you two should have talked to us about"

"But she's never here!" Danielle protested.

"And when we wanna talk to you mama you always say your busy!" Tawny said "We just wanna be with you!"

Before Tori could say anything else the conversation was stopped by another voice.

"What the hell?!" Jade roared as she sat up

Danielle and Tawny looked at each other.

"Uh-oh"

Once the former Goth had woken up, she started to hear the conversation her wife and her daughters were having, she didn't knowexactly that this something bad was, at least until she had the misfortune of noticing her arms,mince she had obviously she blew her top.

"Vega! Look at what your daughters did to me" She snapped brandishing her arms.

"It's West!" Tori said "And they're your daughters too baby and that's not all they did"

"Huh?"

"I guess it's a safe bet that our little angels inherited your troublemaking" Tori said coyly and began giggling.

"What are you babbling about?!" Jade demanded.

Her wife began tracing the marker lines on her face and chest.

"Get my drift?"

Jade looked down and noticed more marker, she then ran out of the living room and into the bathroom, what came next was a very, very angry roar.

"GIRLS!"

The Thespian went back into the living room, she didn't look amused, if anything she was displeased.

Sensing her wife's anger the tanned woman quickly grabbed her by the hand "baby, before you say anything I want to tell you something"

Tori pulled her out of the living room and into the kitchen.

Both toddlers knew they were going to get it now, their plan was just something they thought would allow them to get more times with their parents but they apparently overlooked the fact that when their mom got angry she really began to resemble the hulk.

"They are going to be so grounded!" Jade hissed.

"Before you go ahead with that I think you should know why they went all Creative on you"

"I'm listening"

"Jade... I think we need to spend more time with them"

"What?" She asked confused "What are you talking about? Where did this come from? I mean we do spend a lot of time with our daughters"

"Ok, then tell me when was the last time?" Tori asked, crossing her arms "Because I seriously can't remember"

"Well we took a... I mean just the other day we... Didn't we go to the park?"

"Yeah... Two months ago"

"I... Really?"

"Yeah... Really"

"Where did this come from?"

"Jade you can't be that clueless" Tori snapped "why do you think you look like a clown that got its make up in the dark?"

"Oh you mean...?

The tanned woman nodded "I talked to our babies, they thought that getting in trouble was the perfect way for us to spend time with them... I mean isn't that just sad?"

"It's not sad" Jade said "Its messed up!"

Tori lowered her head "Do you feel as horrible as I do?"

The pale woman nodded "Yeah...Tor, I can't believe we ... I did that... I promised myself when They were born that I would not raised them the same way my dad raised me"

"We need to cut back on our jobs Jade" Tori spoke seriously "We have a family now and we need to give our girls the love and attention they deserve"

"Your right" Jade said "I don't want Danielle and Tawny to grow up the same way I did"

"Then you need to take some breaks on writting your books"

"And you need to spend less time on those tours of your"

Tori smiled "I gave an idea, how about we spend a week off and take the girls on a finishing trip"

Jade raised an eyebrow "Tor, do you even know how to fish?"

"Sure my dad used to take me when I was little"

"Ok... But first, there's a score I need to settle" The former Goth said with a playful grin.

She walked towards the living room where her daughters where waiting, in a mocking angry tone she told them "You two are so gonna get it."

Jade makes to grab the girls and tickle them relentlessly.

Danielle and Tawny jumped off the couch and out of the room laughing manically.

"Oh you two aren't getting away that easily!"

The woman made a run towards them and managed to grab them, once agsin beginning to tickle them.

"Mom! Mom! We're sorry!" Tawny giggled.

"Let us go!" Danielle's giggled as well.

"Umm.. Nope, now here comes the bunny fingers!"

"Not the bunny fingers!"

Jade started to tickle them in their "weal spots" which were under their arms, the girls squealed louder after that.

"Baby, let them go" Tori said, grinning "They're just kids having fun"

"I don't see evidence of their fun on you" Jade pointed out.

Before Tori could retire, she noticed one of the markers on the floor, she picked it up, read what was on the label and her eye's widened in shock.

Tori looked nervous "Uh... Jade?"

"Yeah?"

"Um..well how much do you love our girls?" She asked.

"With all of my heart, you know that" Jade responded.

The Tanned woman gulped, "Well, that's a good thing because well..the markers..are um…permanent."

"What's that? The thespian asked "Could you repeat that?"

"Permanent"

"Tori I can't hear you"

"Permanent"

"PERMANENT?!"

"Yeah"

"GIRLS!"

"It was Danielle's idea!"

"Traitor!"


Well what do you guys think? Was it a nice twist?

I'm still accepting ideas JSYK.
