Red-Headed Monsters

Julie's eye grew as big as saucers when it slowly dawned on her who she was looking at. Those little trolls had turned into giant monsters she thought to herself. Julie was naturally only about 5'4 but with her boots on she was at least 5'6. But these two behemoths might as well been six feet tall as far as she could tell. Julie's brown eyes were still wide with shock. Her shoulder length chestnut hair had been put up into a tight ponytail and her tight jeans and conservative blouse were supposed to give off a no nonsense vibe.

All that seemed to go out the window as the two redheads smirked down at her. Julie was frozen still not sure what to say and how in the world she was going to reclaim that air of authority over the twins again. Something about there matching superior grins said a lot giving Julie the feeling like she was shrinking before them. Agnes who was always the leader broke the silence.

"Wow Julie it looks like you shrunk or somethin." Both girls snorted with laughter in unison like a couple of talking pigs. Julie had to say something but she was still a bit shocked and intimidated.

"What's a matter cat got yo tongue?" They both snorted even though it wasn't a very funny joke or anything. Julie finally squeaked out trying to meet them as equals now. "It's good to see you two." She lied. "My you sure have grown.' Julie blurted out not knowing what else to say. "Hey! What's that sposed to mean?! Agatha who was the fatter of the two said defensively. "I-I mean you have gotten so tall. "

Julie stammered a little kicking herself for showing a bit of weakness already. Agatha seemed to let the comment go for now but rolled right into another good question."Hey I'm starvin I thought we was gone be gettin some dinner by now. Julie hadn't really thought about it. There was some mac and cheese in the cupboard and even though Julie didn't feel like she was being properly asked she was relieved to find an excuse to get out of this awkward reunion for now.

Julie had never been a great cook or anything but mac and cheese was pretty hard to mess up. While the twins watched their show Julie moved to the kitchen heart still beating a little as she got to work. While she mixed the ingredients her mind raced the whole time. This was not what she expected at all. How was she going to regain control before things got out of hand.

This was going to be over a month and she had to nip this in the bud before she totally lost control of them. before she had relied so much on her size advantage that without it she was lost. Maybe if she showed them respect like mutual adults then they could compromise somehow. I mean they are grown adults now how bad could they be.

Julie felt like she was already serving them maybe she could get them to do there part and wash the dishes afterwards. She would make it a team effort teaching them some positive behaviors while regaining some authority in the process.

Julie set up there bowls on the dining room table hoping to lure them away from the T.V. so that they could talk about things. Neither of the fat twins budged and it was Agnes who said with annoyance and a little authority in her tone. Where in here bring it in here dummy.

Julie tried to ignore that dummy comment although it really started to make her mad the more she thought about it. This was the time to put her foot down but she thought for some reason it best not to yet. Feeling like some sort of servant Julie reluctantly brought there food out to them where they didn't even bother to thank her as they scarfed the bowls down.

Julie tried to justify it within herself saying they were all grown ups now and she didn't really mind but her ego was starting to get a little singed as the night went on. Julie fumed quietly in silence though as she sat there until late watching there dumb shows. She even tried to bring up the dishes but was blatantly ignored even though it was a commercial break. Julie just bit her lip and cleaned everything up while the twins laughed and snorted in the living room lazily.

It was well passed midnight and they were all getting tired. Julie figured she would show them to there room before she herself went to bed. While Agatha went along generally ignoring anything Julie said Agnes hadn't followed along at all. There were twin beds already made up for them and Julie turned around and left her to herself before heading to her own bedroom. It was her room she grew up in and her mom kept it for her just like she left it.

The first thing Julie noticed was her door was completely shut. She immediately tried the door and found out it was locked from the inside. Slightly panicked Julie pounded on her own door demanding it be opened up. She soon got her wish as the groggy and angry looking Agnes answered . As soon as the door opened and she was face to face Julie's demeanor fell back a few pegs towards her towering cousin.

"Listen I'm not sharin a room with her she snore's so damn loud and I'm way too big to sleep on the couch. As a matter of fact you could fit jus fine. That being said she slammed the door in Julie's face.

Upset but too tired to argue Julie found some kind of reasoning with what she had said. Grabbing a blanket and pillow from the closet Julie spent her first night babysitting kicked out of her own room and sleeping on the couch. She would have to take charge tomorrow and get these two under control but for now it was best not to argue.....
