Chapter 1: The McCool Twins’ New Song

At the Stark mansion, Charlotte Bella Marie Stark and her twin brother, Charlie, had just come up with a brilliant idea for their Pandora page, where they called themselves "The McCool Twins." They decided to create a fun, rebellious song titled “Momma and Daddy on Our Griddle”—a playful tune about their constant mischief and how their parents always caught them.

In their room, the twins sat on the floor with a notepad, brainstorming lyrics while their guitars rested on their laps.

Charlotte: "Okay, how about we start with something like… ‘Momma’s always mad, Daddy’s always stern.’ You know, like they’re always catching us doing stuff?"

Charlie: "Yeah! And then we can add something like ‘We’re cooking up trouble, it’s their turn to burn!’"

Charlotte (laughing): "That’s perfect! Let’s keep going."

As they strummed their guitars, Charlotte began to sing the first verse, while Charlie played along and added his own quirky lyrics:

Charlotte (singing): "Momma and Daddy, they’re on our griddle,
We’re the McCool Twins, stuck in the middle,
We make the mess, they clean it up,
But now it’s their turn to erupt!"

Charlie (adding): "Momma’s yelling, Daddy’s hot,
They’re always mad when we get caught!"

The twins burst into laughter as they continued to add to their mischievous song. It was all fun and games until their little brother Eric and little sister Ariel wandered down the hallway and noticed the twins’ door was slightly ajar.

Eric: "What are they doing in there?"

Ariel: "I don’t know, but they’re being loud again."

Without hesitation, Eric and Ariel ran to find their parents, MJ and Peter, to let them know what was going on.

Chapter 2: Busted by Mom and Dad

A few minutes later, MJ and Peter walked down the hallway, following Eric and Ariel. When they reached the twins’ room, Peter knocked on the door.

Peter: "Charlotte, Charlie, what’s going on in here?"

The twins froze, realizing their secret songwriting session had just been discovered. Slowly, Charlotte and Charlie turned to face the door as their parents entered the room.

MJ: "What’s this? You two were supposed to be doing your homework, not making noise and writing trouble songs."

Peter: "Momma and Daddy on your griddle, huh? Well, you’re about to be on our griddle now."

Charlotte’s eyes widened as she realized what was about to happen. Charlie tried to act nonchalant, but it was clear they were both caught.

Charlotte: "We were just making a song for fun, Dad! It wasn’t serious!"

Peter: "It might’ve been fun for you, but now you’re getting spanked for not listening. You know better than this."

Chapter 3: The Spanking

Without further discussion, Peter sat down on the edge of the bed and called both of the twins over.

Peter: "Alright, come here."

Reluctantly, Charlotte and Charlie stepped forward, knowing there was no way out of this. Peter first pulled Charlie over his lap and pulled down his pants and underwear before giving him a firm spanking.

Charlie: "Ow! Ow! Okay, I’m sorry!"

Next, it was Charlotte’s turn. She bit her lip as Peter pulled her over his lap and repeated the process.

Charlotte: "Okay, Dad! I won’t do it again!"

Once the spankings were done, both of the twins stood rubbing their sore bottoms. But Charlie, being the joker he was, couldn’t resist the urge to make his sister laugh, even after they’d just been punished.

Charlie (singing dramatically): "My butt is on fire,
It’s burning with desire!
Got spanked for making trouble,
Now I’m seeing double!"

Charlotte burst into giggles, unable to hold it in as Charlie dramatically danced around the room, still holding his bottom as if it were on fire.

Peter (trying to keep a straight face): "Charlie, this is not a joke."

MJ: "You two are both grounded. No music, no games, no fun for the next two weeks. You need to start taking responsibility for your actions."

Charlotte (still laughing a little): "Okay, Mom… we’re sorry."

Chapter 4: Grounded

After being sent to their separate rooms, Charlotte and Charlie couldn’t help but exchange a few whispered giggles from across the hall. They knew they were in big trouble, but they also knew they wouldn’t stop coming up with songs anytime soon.

As Charlotte lay on her bed, still grinning from Charlie’s ridiculous "My Butt Is on Fire" song, she sighed and mumbled to herself, “Well, at least we made it memorable.”

And with that, the twins knew that while they were grounded for now, there would always be another mischief-filled adventure around the corner—hopefully without getting caught next time.
