Simon's Niece (An Over The Top Fanfic)

Trouble With The Hampstead's

Hadley and Melissa were waiting in the checkout line. 

"Long line just like the pizzeria."

"Ha, you can say that again."

Debby and her husband walked behind them.

"Well, if it isn't Southern Belle and Mary Poppins."

Melissa turned around and acted like she was jump scared by him.

"Oh my God, I thought that was Alfred Hamcock."

She giggled. Hadley was in front of her trying not to laugh.

"A mini Mr. Ferguson I see. Are you an 'actor' too?"

"Nope.  Are you an 'actor'?"

"No. Why don't you go home and make some tea."

"No - why don't you go home and eat a dozen donuts."

"Miss. Ferguson, you have no right to disrespect your elders!"

"You have no right to insult us either."

"Alright mini Mr. French, I had enough of you already. You just need to go cook and clean and take care of the uneducated people called The Martin's."

Melissa and Hadley frowned.

"Melissa, why don't we just ignore them."

"I'll try."

They faced forward and tried to ignore him. It was no use.

"That's right. Just keep your toughie mouth shut. The same goes for the Southern Belle too. I heard about the suspension. As a lawyer, I think bringing weapons to school grounds is a criminal offense."

Melissa turned around. Hadley was at the register by then.

"How did you know about that?"

"Me and your principal are good buddies."

"'Good buddies'? What do you two do 'shoot the breeze'? Talk about children behind their backs?"

"Melissa, I paid for everything, let's go," Hadley said.

They started walking away.

"One last thing Miss. Poppins, being compared to a whale, your voice sounds exactly like one."

Melissa walked back.

"Same goes for you. You're exactly like a whale except you have more than one blowhole. And bye bye...Debby!"

Melissa left with Hadley.

Melissa and Hadley were back at the hotel. Simon and Daniel walked in the lobby with a few presents in each. 

"Ladies, you're back! How'd it go?" Simon asked.

"It went good until The Hampstead's showed up."

"Oh no. Did that old cow insult her like he did me?"

"Yep. She insulted him back though. They were going back and forth, it was hilarious."

"That's Melissa for you. I got my share of Christmas shopping all wrapped up and ready to be put under the tree."

"Good Simon, good. You know it's our first Christmas at the Metropolitan. What are we gonna do this year other than presents and dinner?"

"Let's just enjoy the holidays as a normal family."

He gave her a peck on the lips.
