Brozone: Younger years short stories

Nanny Plum

In the kitchen, there were 10 siblings who were making a mess because they were going to bed without dinner after getting rid of the last nanny. There was John Dory, Dora Jelly, Spruce, Sydney, Clay, Claire, Floyd, Fawn, and Baby Branch. After finding out that their grandmother had no more trolls that wanted to babysit them, they figured they could do whatever. Even going to the kitchen, which was off limits. Suddenly, standing in the doorway was an old troll with purple and grey hair with yellow skin and a long black dress with a cane.

JD: Oh, look! The door opened and there's nobody there.

NP: I am here. I am Nanny Plum.

JD: Sorry, did somebody say something?

Spruce: I didn't hear anything.

Clay: That's because there's nobody there.

Fawn then jumped on a board that splattered a jar of jelly beans across the room, which made Sydney flinch.

NP: I want you all to listen very closely, stop whatever it is you're doing, clean up your messes, and go to bed.

JD: Hey everyone, I just had the best idea. Why don't we stay here having fun in the kitchen all night long?

All: YEAH!!! YAY!!!

Claire puts some dishes in the catapult as Fawn jumps she shatters the dishes, which makes Sydney flinch once more.

Fawn: JUMPING! JUMPING!

Nanny Plum sees that the trollings won't listen, so she pulls out her cane slowly, which makes the siblings nervous. Then, with a thump of her cane, everything started going faster. Things Fawn catapulted went in their exact locations. The last thing on the counter was a sleeping baby Branch.

NP: If you want all this to stop, just say please.

JD: I NEVER SAY PLEASE!

NP: *turns her back on the siblings* Very well.

As John Dory was saying this, Floyd was gently laying down baby Branch into the catapult.

Spruce: Put him back, Floyd!

Claire: SAY IT! PLEASE!

Sydney: PLEASE!

Fawn: PLEASE!

Clay: PLEASE!

Dora Jelly: JOHN!

JD: If I were to say please, then.

Nanny Plum turned back around and recited it for him to say.

NP: Please, Nanny Plum?

Fawn: I'M GOING TO JUMP!

JD: Please, Nanny Plum.

Nanny Plum smiled wickedly at JD, and with a tap of her cane, everything, including baby Branch was put back in its place in a puff of purple dust.

Clay: Daaang.

NP: *turns to the siblings* Upstairs to bed Please.
