A/N: These stories are sequential and each will be 221 words or less. I don't own these characters, Moffat/Gatiss and Conan Doyle do. Thank you to the numerous readers who suggested this series!


Four-year-old John Watson is sneaking into his big sister's room. Harriet has all the best toys. She even has an Action Man! She won't let John play with it because she says he's too little. The joke's on her, though, because right now Harriet's at school, which means John can play with Action Man and Harriet will never find out!

He digs Action Man out of the hiding place that Harriet thinks is super secret. (It's not. Girls are so dumb!) He decides to send Action Man on his most dangerous mission ever. Action Man is going to jump out of a plane and parachute into the base of the bad guy who kidnapped the Royal Family!

John perches Action Man on the edge of Harriet's bookshelf, then positions a Ken doll directly below him. The boy shouts, "Hang on, Your Highnesses! I'll save you!"

With a swipe of his hand, John knocks Action Man off the bookshelf. The action figure falls ungracefully and when it lands on the hardwood floor, its head flies off.

John's greatest fear is that Harriet will knock his head off when she gets home.
