Falice oneshots At Midnight

Nanny: 3

FP catches that there's a computer left out and finds out that Polly is hiding upstairs on the top of the roof.

"I can work with this kid." He said with a knowing smile after reading that Polly had wrote that was ditching the meeting she has with Emperor Lunt and was hiding on her roof.

His son, Jughead would always hid in all sorts of places in town. He always knew when or where he was. Jellybean was a good kid but at times she would be naughty but what kid isn't.

He heads up to one of the many rooms in the house and sees an open window, revealing that Polly Cooper was in-fact sitting on that ledge outside.

"Wow, just where you coming for your adolescent brooding."

Polly rolls her eyes as she sets her cellphone on the bricks of their roof. " Did you come up here to turn me in?"

"It's not really my style." FP says as he casually walks over to her.

"What is your style?" She asks.

"Outlaw. Cast out by the power brokers, force to live a life for the shadows."

"Oh, kinda like Batman if he'd been demoted to a nanny." He looks over at her and smile at the symbolism.

"Nice." He comments," Uh, aren't you supposed to be a meeting at your principle's office right now?" He changed the subject.

Polly scoffed." Why should I? Crap goes on there all the time. Ms. Lunt fires the music teacher, completely gets rid of the band, everybody's afraid to talk about it." She explains to her aunt's new helping hand." I'm tired of life being unfair, how about for once to just be fair."

FP listened to her speaking her mind. She wasn't right it wasn't fair. It brought a lot of thoughts to his head too. Him losing his job because Cooper wasn't fair. He didn't deserve it because Hal Cooper laundered and embezzled.

"I'd be upset too if my mom and dad bailed on me."

"I'm talking about Ms. Lent."

"If you say so," FP added, knowing the deep truth on why she was so upset.

Polly looked him dead in the eye and said," You don't know anything about me."

"You're right, I don't. Whatever. I don't know why you're taking this all on your aunt. Because she's the only person that hasn't bailed on you." He kept speaking when she didn't say anything." Look, I know she can be a little skitzy at times." She gave him a look,"All times, but since we are talking about fair. Do you think it's fair that she has to go down to your school all alone any of your big bowl of stink for something she didn't do?"

"Big bowl of stink?" Polly says with a confused expression. "What is that?"

"You'll know when you've eaten one." FP stated, still confusing Polly.

He stood up from the roof and said," Come on, let's prove to your Aunt that she isn't alone." Polly nodded and She and FP crawled through the window.

"Any sign of Polly?" Polly's principal asked as they waited for her to show up.

"Miss Lunt, look, I know what Polly did was bad. Okay, really, really bad, but if any kid has the right to upset about what life's handed her. Look, I'm not trying to excuse Polly, I'm just saying if I was Polly, probably would have done worse by now." She paused and the started again,"In fact I did."

"This is pointless without Polly. Why don't we just reschedule? You think manage to find her by say tomorrow afternoon?"

"Oh, tomorrow's City Council sessions all day but we take lunch 12:00 to 1:00. I don't know when you—" She was cut off by Ms. Lunt.
