Prompts 2017 - 7. Maggy Magnet
Maggy Magnet listened to the door closing and the car pulling away from the house. After a few moments of silence, she called out, “All clear, everyone up.”
Moving stiffly she peeled herself off the fridge and dropped to the floor.
Fellow magnets; Gilly, Jenny, and Franny joined her and they all hopped their way to the living room.
Jenny, hopped up to the tv remote and hopped up and down on the buttons.
Franny and Gilly entered with a bowl of popcorn sliding along behind them. “Mikey sends his regards but he’d not in the mood tonight,” Franny said before joining the Maggy on the couch.
“Oh, well, his loss.” Maggy shrugged and hopped excitedly when the tv flickered to life.
“Shhh, shhh, it’s starting,” Gilly hissed making everyone hush.
The screen flickered one more time and settled on the opening credits.
Everyone let out a cheer as Toaster appeared on the screen, followed by Lampy and Blanky.
The episode was over too soon and everyone whined as Maggy led them back to the kitchen. “Come on you lot. They’ll be home soon we need to be back in place.”
A bit more moaning, and some staling and everyone was in place just in time.
The front door opened.
“Mom, mom, Robbie got an action man for his birthday, can I have one?”
“Maybe later, Harry. Now, go get ready for bed.”
“But, mooooom, I’m not tired.”
The voices faded and the house fell asleep.
