Haven't written a comedy in awhile huh? Well, I was searching through my saved ficcles and found this one-shotter, unfinished fic. SO! Under Sarah's guidance, I finished it (it's barely 2 pages on MS Word, but it's something ^__^) and here it is.

I suppose I should give SOME background as to the insanity that ensues within this one-shot. It's all based around a conversation between Sarah, Andi and Myself that we had over a YEAR ago. There, now that background's covered LoL...

Enjoy.

Love for an Aunt



Dear Diary,


Today, Sarah and I visited Aunty Andi at St. Mungo's. I remember when we first realized she was going crazy. She continued raving about some sort of Key Club that she was supposedly a part of. After raving she'd always show us this key she called The Revealer'. Then she told us that the Key Club had nothing to do with Keys. This was when we knew she had gone crazy.

Aunty Andi would always baby-sit us night after night. We used to have so much fun with her. But right before she was sent to St. Mungo's, she would just watch us. Not help us or anything! Sarah would sit on the floor on end screaming her head off for Aunty Andi to get her juice. I'd sit there begging for a nice ruler to chew on. She didn't do a thing.


One time I was
borrowing Sarah's Rupert Grint doll, and she went ballistic on me and started chasing me! So I jumped on Aunty Andi for protection. Then Sarah jumped on Aunty Andi too! But Aunty Andi didn't do ANYTHING! Sarah was trying to kill me and Aunty Andi didn't do ANYTHING! It was like she was in a coma!


Another time when Sarah and I were playing, Aunty Andi took away our Rupert Grint, Ron Weasley, George Weasley and Oliver Phelp dolls and hid them! What type of baby-sitter does this? It's cruel and unusual punishment! I think she secretly Avada Kedavra'-ed them. She had that evil look in her eye that night!


Anyway, when we got a letter from St. Mungo's we thought it was weird. Then we saw it was addressed from Aunty Andi! It had been over a month since we last saw her – which was right before she was shipped off to get mental help. It read:



Dear Sarah and Angel,


I'm having a glorious time here at this new Wizards' Resort! St. Mungo's! I wonder what patron saint they are! Now doesn't that have a glorious ring to it? St. Mungo's! It just rolls off your tongue and out your mouth! Like jelly! Oh, they serve the best Jell-O here at, St. Mungo's! It's green Jell-O and they serve it all the time! You'd think we'd get tired of it, but we don't! It's absolutely glorious!

Here at, St. Mungo's!, I've met a nice friend, Gilderoy! He's such a gentlemen! Also, what a glorious name! Gilderoy! It rhymes with Hit that boy!' Isn't it glorious? He's also very famous! Everyone knows him and wants his autograph! What a glorious life he must live outside this resort, St. Mungo's! The attendants here are so wonderfully glorious! So courteous and so willing to attend to our every need.

It's been a hard week away from the two of you. But I'm sure that seven days wasn't that hard away from your Aunty Andi! I do suspect to return home soon. Until then, the two of you should come visit myself here at the resort, St. Mungo's! You'll be able to meet my dear friend Gilderoy! Such a glorious person he is!



Aunty Andi scares us sometimes. We're really worried about her you know. I remember before she went of to St. Mungo's she went on end raving about "The Snitch". Now, we suspected she was talking about the ball from Quidditch, but the way she raved about it, we assumed she hallucinated a place up called "The Snitch". That's when we knew she needed mental help.

However, after getting that letter, I doubt she's getting any help at all! I mean, how many bloody times did the blasted woman say glorious' !? One can only hear the word so many times before it gets on one's nerves, no? Dear me, she's even become friends with Gilderoy Lockhart. Why? WHY of all people, she becomes friends with that wannabe-star, Lockhart!? Merlin knows he was a prat to begin with and she goes and gets all buddy-buddy with him! I just hope that they don't become
too "buddy-buddy" .. Aunty Andi should have love in her life, but- Lockhart? Really? Yuck!

While we were at St. Mungo's she gave us a tour. Nothing we haven't seen before since we have been there whenever we needed to get fixed up and stuff. Thank Merlin Lockhart wasn't around. We got really worried when she took us to the kitchens and opened the fridge to show us (and I quote this) the "Absolutely glorious amounts of glorious green Jell-O!" - Aunty sure has things messed up in her head lately. I hope she gets better. Even if she's a bit odd, Sarah and I still love and miss her.

Well, diary, it's getting late and Sarah hasn't slept for days (I have a theory it's because of her lack of wearing socks! Or, as Aunty Andi calls them "Glorious socks!" Gosh, we need to get that woman a thesaurus for synonyms for glorious' before either of us throws a glorious' tantrum. He he he.) So, I'll write in you tomorrow night. Sarah and I are going to visit St. Mungo's again with Aunty Andi's nephew – our cousin – Davey. (Although, I think the three of us are starting to disown our Aunty Andi- just kidding).

Love from,
Angel

Read and Review guys ^__^. Who knows, might turn this into a mini-series and have several letters instead of just this one-shotter =]
*Putters off*
*Liliana*
Gah, thank you for the warning, Angel...for warning us from Aunty Andi AND you and Sarah! *snickers* You all are hilarious, spiffin' hilarious...don't come near me...*makes an 'x' with her fingers and runs away*
Sarah
I SO remember that conversation. I think I died laughing a billion times. Andi sure did went nuts tongue.gif This was a great reminder of a great time. Very well done. I know I'd love to see some more. ^__^

Don't run away, Lils. You know you want to be just as crazy as the rest of us tongue.gif
LaLaLuna
I agree with Lils, thanks for warning us to stay away from THIS Trio tongue.gif

OMG I laughed so hard my chest hurts, LOL. Glorius story Angel!

*shakes head* St. Mungo's. . .a resort? LMAO
marymcbeth
Angel, this is precious! But in Aunty Andi's support, my mother was a member of the Key Club, too. (Come to think of it, she loves her padded room as well!)

We would love to hear more updates on Aunty's progress. And maybe whether the Noodle-O manages to escape the Noodle Farm--I mean, resort.

Hehe, please turn this into a mini-series, Angel - I need a few laughs! ^__^
Angel
Updated by popular demand LoL..Just thought I'd mention though, if I do update this baby, the updates are small.. I mean, what normal person writes a 7 page diary entry? Hmmm? LoL... Anyway.

Lils - It's not like we're cursed or hexed. Gosh rolleyes.gif Hehehe.. Anyway, if it's a mini-series it'll only be updated once in awhile.. because.. Yeah. Bwaaha.

SBee - I wish I saved the convo.. I think I did.. huh.gif OMG, I did NOT put "I <3 socks" in your sig! Someone's copying me again crying.gif

Hanna - Thanks for the glorious response hun! Hehe and yes, it's a resort.. in Aunty's eyes ^__^

Mary - Oh, the Key club thing.. It's just that in the conversation I (and maybe Sarah as well) was asking Andi why it's called the key club if it has nothing to do with keys LoL..

Anyway. Enjoy. Read & Review =]

Dear Diary



It seems nothing really does change overnight. Sarah, Davey and I all went to visit Aunty Andi again at St. Mungo's, but she was still the same - nuts as an acorn tree. Oh, what a horrible day to visit Aunty though! Who was there? None other than Lockhart. How I loathe that man. He's so annoying! I don't see why Aunty and him are buddy-buddy!

She kept saying how he was so glorious and he kept saying how he was glorious. Conceited prat, that one is. He even shoved piles of his autographed photo into our arms. Really, he needs a hobby. Maybe smiling himself in the mirror would be a suitable job for him. Sooner or later he's bound to get sick of himself and just stop talking. That'd save us all from hearing his voice. (Or as Aunty Andi calls it - his "Glorious, mockingbird voice! Glorious as church bells").

Then again, I think Aunty needs a hobby. Perhaps finding synonyms for glorious. I wouldn't mind showing her some antonyms however, because it seems she's always happy. Always smiling. Always shining. Yes, shining! But that's because during arts and crafts she tripped into a tub of glow-in-the-dark liquid. Merlin knows why there was a tub of glow-in-the-dark liquid lying around in St. Mungo's, but apparently -according to Aunty Andi - it was "A glorious way to start the day!"

I think the highlight of Sarah's day was when we ran into Ron Weasley! Yup
the Ron Weasley! The one her doll was fashioned after. She nearly clinged to Ron the entire time he was around. I think she gave him the heebee jeebies - Or "Glorious HJ's" as Aunty once called them prior to her St. Mungo's residency - because he seemed keen on getting away from her. I don't see her fascination with the bloke. So what, he helped Harry Potter defeat Voldemort? No big deal. It's not like he has to deal with a wigged out Aunty who thinks everything's bloody glorious and is best friends with one of the most annoying people in the world!

Davey seemed to enjoy himself as well! Oops, running out of ink. And I need to get some socks on. Be right back, Diary.

Davey for Diggle!!
I <3 Ron Weasley!!

I'm so sorry Diary! While I was gone, Davey and Sarah got to you. Stupid permanent charms. I'll permanent their arses when I get my hands on them.. Anyway, where was I? Oh yes..

Davey seemed to enjoy himself as well! He seemed quite fascinated with the noodles we got for lunch while we were at St. Mungo's –
Do I even have to mention how Aunty Andi called them glorious? no? Got the idea? Fabulous. -- because he kept playing with them. He's an odd child that one, calling himself super noodle and such. I think he's super nuts, but that's my opinion. It does make sense that he's a bit off centre, though.. I mean, his Aunt IS Aunty Andi. Sarah and I thank Merlin that we haven't attained the crazy genes from Aunty Andi. Although, Sarah did get a nice pair of blue jeans from Aunty Andi last Christmas!

Then again- Sarah's not that right in the mind either. I mean, she doesn't like socks! How can anyone DISLIKE socks? It's simply preposterous!

That reminds something else that Aunty Andi said while we were at St. Mungo's today! Out of nowhere she just says "You are not a sock!"
I know I'm not a sock, Aunty, no need to state the obvious-
Then, of course she had to continue after that with "Socks aren't glorious enough now a days! Sure, they keep your feet warm in the winter, but they simple are not glorious enough! Now, Jell-O! How GLORIOUS is that? Simply, glorious! Great, green, jugs of jell-O."

Her fascination with Jell-O is starting to scare me. Is her condition getting better? Or turning for the worst? *sigh* Well Diary, I should get to sleep soon. I can already hear Davey's snores coming from the other room and I know Sarah's up like a mad hatter adding more magazine pictures to her Ron Weasley Shrine (perhaps she's more off centre than I previously assumed?? Thank Merlin someone in our family is sane *points to self*)

Love From,
Angel

R&R smile.gif
Sarah
Andi sure does like the word "Glorious" doesn't she? LOL "Glorious this" "Glorious that." *dies* tongue.gif Excellent update. There had better be more. And I'm not a "mad hatter adding more magazine pictures to her Ron Weasley Shrine". And you are not the sane one. I am. You, Dave, and Andi are the crazy ones. LOL

You are not a sock. tongue.gif Sah-weet.
Andi
Er... glorious?

Dude's I'm so not nuts, but this fic will have people doubting that now. *le sigh*
Chloe

LMAO! Oh my goodness! That was hilarious! Thank you Angel for that bit of relief from this cruel harsh world... blink.gif wow, I sound old... Lol, that was too funny. Auntie Andi is psycotic... lol, poor Andi, people now know the truth about her. Oh, gosh, I'm out.

PPMS!
Sundari Harmony
*pout* She's my aunty too! *clings to Aunty* I became her niece awhile back too. But then she closed off her Auntyness when others wanted to be too.

And hey, in Sarah's defence, I think we're teh founding members of the "I Hate Socks" club *giggle* We've had some conversations about that. Especially sleeping in socks *shudder*

Hehe update soon Angel biggrin.gif
Andi

Ahh, yes, I do know that... That's why I love this fic, it shows others your true colors. No, I don't mean green, just crazy! w00t.gif
Angel
So... As bored as I am, I reread this. Dang, I wish I could remember that conversation;
ahhh.. memories <3

No one who read this probably looked at Andi the same way again. ^__^
