Sara was done. Her father had corrected her for the last time, she decided, and as she slammed the bedroom door in his face and quickly turned the lock, she knew what needed to happen next. It was time to teach him a lesson, once and for all. He needed to learn firsthand what real pain was. He needed to suffer, and maybe even die.

##

Eddie was fuming. His daughter had slammed the door in his face for the last time, he decided, and as he heard her lock it from the other side, he knew what needed to happen next. She needed to learn firsthand what real obedience was. He walked toward his bedroom and reached for the toolbox. Opening it up, he smiled darkly to see the sharp tool glisten in the light. It was time to teach this girl a lesson, once and for all.

##

Reaching beneath her mattress, Sara found it waiting for her. The thick handle ached to be held, and the trigger was just waiting to be squeezed. She grabbed it and turned back to the door right away, just as she heard him on the other side. His heavy breathing scared her as she saw the doorknob moving back and forth, back and forth.

##

He didn't hear her inside, but knew she was waiting for him. This had to be handled delicately, he knew, and he just hoped she wouldn't scream. One strike should do it, he thought. Just one hard blow, and the whole thing will be over, hopefully with very little mess.

##

She held her stance and pointed at the door, ready to fire.

##

With one powerful thrust, he burst into the room, freezing once he saw it in her hands.

##

"Bang," she said, and it hit him in the chest.

##

Neither could help themselves, and they both just started laughing. Eddie broke Sara's lock off that day, and he confiscated her Nerf gun too. Raising a seven-year-old on his own was tricky business at times, but he really did love every minute of it.

Hehe, I actually did something very similar a long time ago with a friend--can't find it anymore--but we wrote it like someone was breaking in to assassinate a target, only to have the tension break with it actually being a Nerf gun vs. rubber band pistol fight. As such, I have great appreciation for this piece :D
