"Oh my gosh Mal!" Evie screamed as she reached the claw machine and saw her tiny little sister inside of the machine. Mal was no longer laughing as she was growing scared as she felt trapped and wanted out, but was afraid and didn't know how to get out. Doug just ran after Evie as he tried to help get the small girl out of the machine. The kids that were just gathered around the machine taking turns using the toddler to get what they wanted got angry as they saw the two older teens.

"Hey lady and sir you guys need to wait your turn. We were here first. And aren't you a little too old for the claw machine? You look like you guys are practically adults. Just wait your turn," one of the little boys told the teens as he was annoyed and angered by the fact that the two teens had just pushed him and his friends out of the way. He didn't know that they knew the toddler that was in the machine and thought the teens were just trying to be jerks.

Evie just looked at the boy with an evil glare as she was already upset and stressed out by the fact that she had turned away for a second and her sister managed to get herself stuck in a claw machine. She didn't even know how the girl managed to get into the machine.

"I will not wait my turn because she isn't staying in that machine. I'm not here to exploit a toddler who doesn't even know what she's doing as she is only two years old. I'm here to get my little sister out of the claw machine. And do your parents know that you are using a small toddler to get toys from this machine because I have a feeling that if they found out they would not be happy," Evie practically screamed at the kids as she was angry that they were all using the small toddler. She was only two and she didn't understand what she was doing. The other kids were older and they knew that they were using a toddler to cheat the system and get the toys that they wanted.

The kids all froze in fear by the older teen who was intimidating them and just the thought of their parents finding out scared them. The kids all began to start screaming at once as they tried to apologize and beg the girl to not say anything to their parents as to them they had no clue that this teenage girl had no power. To them she was this older girl who had all the power to tell their parents and get them in trouble and they wanted to stop her.

All the screaming caused a huge crowd to gather around and turn their attention towards the claw machine where all the screaming was coming from. The adults all began to whisper and complain to each other when they noticed the tiny toddler who was crying inside of the claw machine as she was banging her tiny hands on the glass trying to get out. Most of the adults were looking at Evie and Doug in disapproval as they assumed that the toddler in the machine was their baby.

"Oh my gosh. Who just takes their eyes off of their kids like that? Clearly whoever is in charge of this poor child should have their baby taken away. They can't even watch their own kid. I mean what kind of bad parent just doesn't pay attention to what their toddler is doing? This is why teenagers are just too irresponsible to be having kids. An adult would never be this irresponsible to just allow their child to climb inside of a claw machine," an older mother told her husband and a group of other parents loud enough so that the two teens could still hear her.

Evie just looked around in shock and embarrassment as everyone was just staring at her and judging her for being irresponsible and not watching the toddler. Doug just put his arms around her as he tried to comfort her. "Evie it's okay just ignore them. They don't know anything. Just focus on getting Mal out of that machine. She's scared and she needs you to help her until someone can come and get her out of the machine," Doug told his girlfriend as he tried to make her feel better and ignore all the judgemental people who should be minding their own business. Especially because most of the parents judging Evie and him were the parents of the kids who were all using a toddler to cheat the claw machine and basically steal toys.

Evie just smiled at her boyfriend as she turned to the claw machine to talk to her sister. "Hey Mal baby girl. Hey, it's okay. Don't cry I'm here sweetie. Were gonna get you out of there I promise sweetie. Just keep your eyes on me. I'm here I'm not going anywhere. Your big sister is here. Don't worry. I know you're scared right now. I am too, but someone is going to get you out. It's okay," Evie told her sister in a calm voice as she tried to calm and comfort her little sister who was crying and screaming now as she wanted out of the machine, but didn't know how to get out.

A few moments later some workers came by as they noticed all the commotion by the machine and wanted to see why. They immediately pulled out their keys to unlock the machine as they saw the tiny scared toddler who was stuck in the machine.

As soon as they got the machine open Evie immediately picked up the tiny toddler as she held her so close to her in a protective hold refusing to let go of the toddler. "Oh my gosh Mal I love you so much. Please stop scaring me. I can't lose you Mal. You are my baby sister. It is my job to keep you safe. I am so sorry that I looked away from you. I should have been watching you, but instead I was getting upset at Doug for giving you candy, but it's okay because I promise Mal I'm never going to take my eyes off of you again. Now let's go back home. It's bedtime and you are going to school with me tomorrow," Evie told the toddler as she continued to hold her protectively.

Mal didn't say anything as she just held onto Evie and fell asleep in her arms as she was tired and exhausted from their long day. Evie just smiled as she watched the tiny girl sleep in her protective embrace. It made her feel happy to know that her sister felt safe enough to fall asleep in her arms. She just very carefully placed the tiny girl inside of the stroller as she buckled her up.

Doug just smiled as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder as they left the bowling alley. Evie just sighed once they got out as she looked at Doug. "Doug do you think I'm a bad guardian? I mean those people were right. I took my eyes away from her for less than a minute and I lost her. She ended up being trapped in a claw machine. Maybe Fairy Godmother and all of those other people were right. I'm just not ready to raise a child," Evie told her boyfriend sadly as she pushed the stroller with her sleeping baby sister inside.

Doug just looked at Evie in complete shock as he couldn't believe that Evie was listening to what the others were saying. "Evie look at me. You are not a bad guardian. You are probably one of the best guardians out there. She loves you and she looks up to you and she wants to be like you. And you love her to death and you always put her first. You try to keep her safe all the time and you just want to make her happy. And yeah you made a mistake, but people make mistakes. You know one time when I was younger my parents weren't paying attention and I got my head stuck in between the staircase railing. They had to call the fire department to get my head unstuck. Oh and one time Ben got stuck in a tree while all the parents were talking he climbed up and was afraid to get down. He stayed up there for hours. And my personal favorite Jane once got stuck in the claw machine. We were all hanging out me, Ben, Audrey, Jane, Lonnie, and Chad. We were about four or five and we had spent all of our money, but we wanted a toy from the machine, so we all played rock paper scissors and the loser had to get in the machine to get the toys. Well Jane lost and she had to get in the machine. She freaked out and we ended up getting in so much trouble after that. I think Fairy Godmother still hates us from that day," Doug told his girlfriend as he tried to show her and convince her that she was a good guardian and that people including adults made mistakes when it came to kids.

Evie just looked at her boyfriend as she laughed at what he said about all of her friends' past mishaps as kids. "OMG no way that's hilarious. Why would you put your head in between the railing? And how in the world did Ben get stuck in a tree and why did you guys leave him in the tree for that long? Oh and poor Jane wow I can't believe you guys used to be so mischievous. I thought you guys would all be perfect little angels growing up in Auradon," Evie told her boyfriend as she laughed as she no longer felt like a bad guardian as she had learned about all of the mistakes that her friends' parents made. And she thought it was funny how her friends had all done stupid and embarassing things when they were younger. She liked knowing about her friends' childhoods and she thought it was pretty cool to know that they weren't always as goody two shoes as they were now. They were once stupid kids who did stupid things that got them in trouble.

Doug just laughed as he looked at his girlfriend. "I don't know we were just stupid kids. We did stupid things. We were always causing problems as kids. It got so bad that our parents had to start separating us," Doug told his girlfriend as he laughed remembering his childhood and all the stupid things he did with his friends.

After a few more minutes of them walking and laughing about stupid things they reached Evie and Mal's dorm. Evie just smiled as she hugged and kissed her boyfriend goodbye. "Bye Doug thank you for this it was fun even though Mal got stuck in the claw machine, but now that I think about it that was pretty funny," Evie told her boyfriend as she waved goodbye to him.

Doug just laughed at her comment as he smiled and waved goodbye. "Night Evie and I had a great time too. See you tomorrow in school," Doug told her as he left to go back to his dorm and sleep as he was tired and they had school again the next day.

As soon as Doug left Evie went inside and unbuckled her sleeping little sister from the stroller. She then carefully changed the small girl and put her in pajamas as she then placed her in the crib and tucked her in.

She kissed her little sister's forehead before getting into her own bed to sleep as she was exhausted and she had school in the morning. Plus she was planning on taking Mal to school and she was worried about how that was going to go. She just sighed as she got into bed and drifted off to sleep while worrying about how tomorrow was going to go.
