Aru Shah one shots/ short stories!

s'mores

All the potatoes (minus Kara) have known each other since they were 5. They've all been claimed. They are 8 now and are all at a sleepover in the museum. Hope you enjoy!

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Aiden asked, fiddling nervously with his hands.

"Just trust me on this," Aru said, stuffing marshmallows into a bag, " When have I had a bad idea?"

Mini rummaged around in her back pack and pulled out a list. "Number 1..."

"Sorry I'm late!" Rudy yelled, "oooh, cookies -"

Brynne tackled him.

"...And putting candy in a hairdryer comes in a number 5." Mini finished.

"I was trying to make my hair smell nice!"

"You blew up the hairdryer, Aru!"

Aru turned away from Mini and faced Brynne. "What do you think, Brynne?"

"Sure," Brynne said, having climbed off Rudy and hanging upside down from the window sill, "But who's keeping watch?"

"The twins." Aru replied. Aiden stared at her.

"They're 4 years old!"

"And totally capable, right Shells? Nikki?"  Sheela grinned at them and Nikita eyed up the cookies. Brynne jumped down.

"Let me test them." Brynne told them, "What do you think of Rudy's clothes?"

The twins looked at Rudy's lime-green shorts and t-shirt. Sheela's smile dropped and Nikki acted out a very realistic death by choking.

"They passed!" Brynne announced, "Rudy? You in?"

Rudy jumped off the ground and smiled. "I have no idea what's going on but ok!"

Aru smirked at Mini and Aiden. "Majority vote you bu-" Mini sent warning look "-rilliant people!" Aru finished. Mini smiled. Aru frowned.

"Butt-head isn't even a swear word" she mumbled.

"Come on guys!" Brynne called passing a cookie to each of the twins. Rudy scowled and muttered something about victims before following Brynne outside.

After Aiden and Mini followed reluctantly, Aru Spiderman-rolled across the floor before standing up.
"Mission is ago," she whispered, before slipping out the door.

Aru layed the tray in the middle of the park. A storm was brewing - the perfect weather.

"What's the plan, again?" Mini asked rocking on her feet.

"We shove the chocolate and marshmallows into the tray -" Aru began.
"Jab a metal stick in the marshmallow -" Brynne continued.
" - Let the lightning do its thing -"
" - Take the roasted marshmallow back -"
" - Get back without mom seeing us -"
" - And eat it with my cookies!"

Aru and Brynne fist bumped.

"Tell me why I agreed to this again?" Mini asked massaging her forehead.

"Because elemental s'mores are awesome!" Aru said, while Rudy stopped Mini from going into a full-scale M.O
M.P.D.A.

Brynne chucked a few marshmallows at each of them, along with a chocolate bar. After they had put the chocolate into each one, they added them all to the tray.

All that was left was to decide who was going to put the stick in.

"ME, ME, ME, ME,ME! PLEAAAAASE?" Aru begged. The others looked at her uncertainly. She pointed to the lightning bolt embedded in her throat.
"There is literally lightning in my neck! Please let me!"

After a sigh, Mini handed her the metal stick. Aru tried to cartwheel with joy, before remembering midway she didn't know how to cartwheel. But she only got one bruise so... I guess you could call it a win.

Once she got up, she immediately ran over to the marshmallow tray, shoved the stick in, and backed away. Then waited. And waited. Just when she was about to lose hope, a flash lit up the sky.

A bolt of lightning spiraled down, glowing gold and silver. Time seemed to slow as it branched downwards - and then it was gone.

The potatoes slowly walked towards the tray to find... a perfectly toasted s'more. While the others whooped and cheered, Aru looked up at the sky.

"Thanks, dad." she murmured quietly. Then she went back to the others. But the sky flickered slightly as if maybe, just maybe, her dad had heard her.

Omg! 660 words! This is my longest one shot yet! Also, thank you so much for the 25 views! I know it doesn't sound like a lot but it means loads to me! Thank you!
