You are Y/N Willoughby. The slightly older sister of Tim, Jane, and the Barnaby's. You're parents are... not the best. Some would say there are worse, but you've never met worse. Every time you or Tim angered them, you were both put in the Coal Bin...
"Okay, this Willoughby story is odd, right? But it's not all bad. At least they ate every family meal together. And by "they", I mean these two."
"You like it spicy, don't you?" Asks Father. Mother answers, "Oh, I don't just like it, I loaf it."
"They just forgot to share with their kids."
The Willoughby parents share an entire meatloaf while the children stand outside the kitchen door, starving, needing food.
"I do not predict leftovers." Tim frowns.
Jane groans, "But I'm so hungry I just wanna eat my own tongue!"
"Me too." "Me too." The Barnabys agree in sync, "Us too."
Y/N holds in her growl, "If only they'd leave some for us. Why don't they cook more so we can have yesterdays food? They only cook enough for themselves."
Jane asks, "What if, we dress up a Barnaby like food-?"
"Bad idea." a Barnaby interrupts. The other Barnaby agrees, "Terrible idea."
Y/N frowns, "Jane, no. Just no. That's cannibalism, and we are above that."
Jane asks, "Okay, what if I go-?"
Tim interrupts, "Stop what-if-ing!"
"Yeah." "No What-ifs."
Tim frowns, "I know you're hungry, but Willoughbys do not beg for food! We wait."
Suddenly, everyone's stomach rumbles. Y/N sighs.
"Okay. I have a plan. Barnabys, I'll need you to do something for me." Y/N requests.
***
The Willoughby parents are kissing, when Tim interrupts the kiss.
"May we have food?"
The parents break the kiss.
"Food?" Father asks. Mother frowns, "We eat todays food. You eat yesterday's food."
Tim objects, "But you ate all of yesterday's food yesterday! So there is no food left over for- JANE!"
Jane takes the Broccoli and wine glasses from both sides of the meatloaf. Yes, these kids are so desperate for food they will eat broccoli.
Mother gasps in shock, "My name is Mother. Who is this Jane?" Father asks in anger, "You call your mother names and you expect us to feed you?"
Y/N peaks her head up just above the meatloaf while the parents are distracted and Jane is taking the broccoli and wine. She grabs a knife and splits the meatloaf in two halves and gives it one half to the Barnabys, who run to another room quite silently and quickly. She runs away to appear behind the door that Tim is in front of. She opens it and walks in.
"Please, Mother, Father, we are starving." Y/N asks as she gives her best persuasive face.
