Snickers went unnoticed as Beezus continued reading her Cosmopolitan magazine.
One loud giggle in particular however, captured her attention.
A long aspirated sigh escaped her lips. "What are you laughing at, Patrick?"
"Oh, um, nothing, Beezus!" His reason was very unconvincing but the magazine situated in her lap was waiting to be read after three weeks of waiting on her coffee table.
The small laughing continued and Beezus began to grow paranoid and aggravated. Just this once she wished to read in tranquil silence.
"Hey! What're you three planning in there?! You better not be ruining things, I just cleaned the kitchen!"
Her keen hearing picked up on whispering.
"You speak!"
"No, I just did! You do it Matt, you chicken!"
"Both of you shut it! I'll speak!" The upbeat voice of tiny Jade Auburn spoke clear without any trace of darker intentions. "Sorry Miss Nile! Mattie was telling us a funny joke."
'Right.' Beezus thought sarcastically. "Alright." Was the simple verbal answer.
The house was quiet for the next five minutes, except for the innocent chatting of the three children in the kitchen.
Just as she finally finished the Cosmopolitan, all three kids walked out.
"What do you want now?"
Nothing but large, coy smiles.
"Now!" The loud voice of Patrick replied. From behind their backs they took out fly swatters and one even took out a can of 'Off!,' and charged at Beezus.
She immediately got up and sprinted away from the malevolent trio. "Cut it out!" Her voice shouted.
They didn't relent and after a while, Beezus had it. She screamed as she morphed, the kids backing away in sheer fright as they witnessed their babysitter transform into a grotesquely gargantuan Aedes mosquito.
"Stop! Or I swear to Go-" Beezus' scratchy speech was interuppted by the horrifying shrieks. All three children left the premises, running for their lives as they did.
Smirking, she returned to her original state. "That'll teach them." Was all that was muttered under her breath.A/N: Well this oneshot was a little icky because I really didn't have a source or any information at all to draw inspiration from. Better one shots are to come, I promise! Anyways, I hoped you enjoyed! :D
