I own nothing except what's not mentioned in the film.

Crash and Burn (and Capture)

I managed to use my squid launcher and latch onto Gru's ship as he was taking off. I stood right in front of him as he stared at me thru his window. I almost laughed at his pink spacesuit.

"Hey Gru!" I boasted. I reached for the window to open it. I was thinking that I'd steal the ship and take the moon myself. But I hardly pulled an inch before Gru pressed a button and I felt about a hundred volts of electricity shot thru my body. I let go and slipped off the ship. I soon found myself falling thru the air. I thought I'd fall to my death or end up splattered on the pavement.

Then, I remembered. "My flight suit!" I pulled a zipper and flaps opened up so I looked like a flying squirrel. "Oh yeah!" I yelled in triumph. "Once again, the mighty Vec-" That last part was because I wasn't watching where I was going and ended up slamming into an electrical tower. The tower gave me a few more hundred volts before I fell again, yelling. Luckily, the trees broke my fall, and I ended up hanging from a branch by my suit.

I groaned and grunted as I pulled myself free, only to fall the rest of the way onto a hard wooden bench. "Great." I muttered. Suddenly, my phone rang. I groaned when I realized it was my dad. "Yes, Dad?"

"Did you get the ship?" Mr. Perkins demanded.

"No, Gru shocked me with a hundred volts." I replied.

"How about the shrink ray?"

"Gru shocked me! How was I supposed to get the shrink ray if I didn't even get inside the ship!"

"Victor!"

"Victor's my geek name!" I protested. "Don't call me that!"

"You've got one last chance." Mr. Perkins warned. "After that, I'm taking matters into my own hands."

"Stop treating me like a kid!" I shouted into the phone, hanging up. I groaned. "Now what?" Then, I heard music, and I realized I had landed outside a sort of school. I walked in and followed the music until I found myself in an auditorium full of people. On stage was a bunch of girls doing a ballet routine. I recognized three girls as the ones that sold me a bunch of cookies.

Wait….they were Gru's girls he had adopted. Dad had told me about them. I smiled. Plan B.

I waited patiently until after the performance and then slipped backstage. I had to look around for a while before I finally spotted the girls as they were walking out. Before they could walk out the door, I stepped in front of them.

"Hey strangers." I greeted warmly.

The girls weren't frightened. In fact, the eldest seemed a bit peeved. But she brightened up a smidge. "Hey. Vector, right? The guy that buys the most cookies?"

"Yup." I nodded. "Loved the show, by the way. Awesome job! Care to come to my place and celebrate?"

"Um…." The eldest seemed unsure. But I supposed she trusted me more than Gru, so she nodded. The other two girls nodded as well. So I led them out and pressed a button that instantly brought my ship here. Then, I pressed another button that trapped the girls into a plastic ball.

"Hey!" the eldest girl yelled. "What are you doing?"

"What?" I asked. "You three just happen to be my one way ticket to getting the moon! What do you expect." I laughed as I ran back into the auditorium. I found some paper and wrote "BRING ME THE MOON!" on it. I signed it with a large V in a circle and rushed back to my ship.

Gru would find it and come for them.

Then I'd be the one with the moon!

A/N: I only saw the movie last week. So I don't remember the full extent of it. But I saw a clip of Vector hitting the pole and wanted to write a story of Despicable Me because I LOVE that movie! Hope you enjoyed!
