It was a sunny day and Kira was playing outside with her friends.Her parents called her in the house to tell her to babysit the neighbours twin babies,because we are going with them to a vacation for today and Kira was excited.

Dad also allowed her to invite her best friend, and Nancy was already there ready to help.Kira's parents were off and they were left with the baby twins Ryan and Bryan they were cute baby boys, suddenly the babies began to cry.

Kira decided to go and make a bottle of milk for the babies while Nancy looked after the babies.On the way downstairs Kira heard the door shutting, she got scared and she ran upstairs.Kira asked Nancy if she left the door opened.

Suprised to know she closed the door, they thought there was a monster.The children fell asleep.Night fall came and they ordered pizza when they went to collect the pizza it had a picture of a pumpkin with eyes the girls got frightened.

The babies woke up and they ate pizza when they finished eating the lights went on and off.They were shaken they went to watch their favourite TV show.The lights suddenly went off they switched on the torch.

5

Pointing at a direction they saw a figure standing with a white cloth covering the body and it said "Bhoo" the children got scared. The light got switched and the figure removed the cloth covering the body and guess who it was it was DAD!

He laughed and they all started to laugh even the neighbours and mum started to laugh.Kira was no longer interested in babysitting because she wouldn't be able to deal with a spooking crisis again, but she really enjoyed.
