Title: The Sky Is Grinning
Fandom: Original
Rating: G
Summary: A babysitter struggles to keep tabs on an imaginative seven-year-old.

I couldn't believe it. My first time babysitting, and less than an hour after sunset, I'd already lost the seven-year-old in my charge. Trying not to panic, I searched the house. Was she under her bed? Behind the couch? Raiding the fridge?

After a minute, I noticed the back door hanging open a crack. The little sneak . . .

I stormed into the yard, and there she was, stargazing on the lawn.

"Finally, you're here!" she said, smiling. She pointed up at the lopsided crescent moon. "Look! It's the Cheshire cat! Can you hear him cackling?"

I grinned. "Yeah."

Title: Wish upon a Black Hole
Fandom: Original
Rating: G
Summary: A babysitter marvels at the mind of an imaginative seven-year-old.

Macy, the seven-year-old I was babysitting, turned round and round, looking at the night sky in her backyard.

"Is that a black hole?" she asked, pointing to a certain dark spot in the sky.

"No. You can't see black holes with the naked eye," I said.

"What if you dress your eyes first?"

I smirked. "Not even then."

Macy pouted. "How do I wish on a black hole I can't see?"

"Why would you want to?"

"If wishes on stars come true, then wishes on black holes never come true. I want to wish for something to never happen. Ever."
