A/N: I got this twisted idea in my head... so weird...

Puppets

Max and Fang.

I see the way they look at each other, and I hate it.

It isn't just them, either. I've noticed how Iggy wishes he could gawk at girls, how Nudge drools over almost every guy on the street. Even Gazzy, my older brother, is changing.

I hate it.

Why can't everything stay the same? Change is too unpredictable. There's no way to control it.

And I hate not being in control.

Everything would be so much better if I could direct it. Like a game of house…

I could use my powers to make every problem vanish. Everyone could just forget. And then we could be happy.

But that wouldn't work… they'd try to stop me…

I could suppress their minds. Only allow them to know what I choose. They'd be my puppets, my playmates.

It'd all be a big game. We'd all be happy. No one could oppose us. I'd just have them killed if they managed to…

I'd get everything I wanted. There'd be no way to escape, besides death...

Even then I could hold their minds to their bodies, and it'd be no different than the others…

I could do it.

Yes, it would be wonderful to have the world at my feet.

It'd take time, but I don't think that'd be a problem.

Yes, my own little planet of puppets…
