Chapter 1, It All Begins
Location: Yucaipa Hospital, May 23, 2014
Doctor Doofensmirtz was walking down a long deserted coredor at the Yucaipa Hospital. He was reading the signs on the hospital rooms, looking for room 263, where he was to see to the hospital's most recent patient. All he knew was that the patient was two-years-old, and went by the name of Tommy Pickles, but no other information was given. Posing as a medical doctor, he decided to take on this mission, to see if he couldn't get his plan into action, to find one young person, to make evil, and have them take over the Confederacy, and then, over the entire world. But he had to be tricky about his plan. When he heard a followup to a news report he had seen a few days prior to this time, about a bunch of small toddlers being lost in Borah Borah Forrest, and then, a followup report that they had all been found, but that sadly, one of them, ended up in the hospital, Doctor Doofensmirtz, used this opportunity, to search out this youngster, as he'd be too injured and weak to fight back, thus, he'd use his Turn-Everything-Evil-Inator on them, to create an evil copy of this particular toddler, and because they'd be so young, surely, he could join forces with them in battle, and they'd grow up, learning and knowing the ways of evil, more or less, taking over the entire world, well before they reached their tenth birthday.
"Children, are the way of the future, and evil children, will get me exactly what I want, to own the Confederacy, and then the entire world!" Doctor Doofensmirtz thought to himself.
Once he found out who the patient's name was, as Tommy's name was given away on the most recent news report, Doctor Doofensmirtz made his way to Yucaipa Hospital, to put his plan into action.
He finally found room 263, and walked inside, to find a small little boy with dark purple hair, quietly sleeping in a hospital bed, and sitting off to the side in a chair, was a woman with strawberry red hair in three points, wearing a red dress with green rimmed glasses, reading a Lipchitz book. Doctor Doofensmirtz approached the woman.
"Hello, my name is Doctor Doofensmirtz, and I am here to see a Tommy Pickles." Said Doctor Doofensmirtz.
Didi looked up from her Lipchitz book to stare into Doctor Doofensmirtz's eyes.
"Oh, doctor, I am Didi Pickles, Tommy's mom, but I should let you know, he is sleeping right now." Whispered Didi.
"No worries mam, this won't take long." Said Doctor Doofensmirtz, as he removed a device from his pocket, and pointed it at the young toddler in bed.
"What's that?" Didi asked.
"Oh, it's just a little machine I rigged up, that once I zap your son with it, he'll be all cured of his illness and injury, and can leave this hospital immediately!" Doctor Doofensmirtz lied, as he pointed the Turn-Everything-Evil-Inator at Tommy, and prepared to zap him.
"Well, um, ok then." Said Didi, a bit concerned, as she had never seen a doctor be able to cure anybody with just the push of a button on a machine before.
"You just relax lady, and leave everything to me." Said Doctor Doofensmirtz, as he motioned to Didi to sit back in her chair.
Didi did as she was instructed, as Doctor Doofensmirtz approached the bed, aimed his Turn-Everything-Evil-Inator at Tommy, and hit a button, that sent a beam of blue light in Tommy's direction. The beam of light awoke the toddler from his sleep.
As Tommy awoke, his eyes shot open, and the beam of blue light, turned red and green, as it hit his eyes. Tommy started to cry.
"Oh be quiet child, this will be over in just a second." Snapped Doctor Doofensmirtz, as he shut off the machine, and stared over at Tommy, who's eyes were glowing a bright red and green, while his ears still looked red from the ear infection, his face was a pale green, and his nose was running, as unknown to Doctor Doofensmirtz, Tommy also had a bad cold and ear infection, as well as stitches in the back of his head, as a result of the head injury he had a few days ago, when on that adventure with his friends.
"Is that all doctor?" Didi asked.
"Yes, yes it is. You should take your son home now, doctor's orders." Said Doctor Doofensmirtz, as he turned and left the room.
Didi approached the bed where Tommy was, picked him up, and got him dressed. He had been in the hospital for two days, and a nurse who had spoken with them that morning said his fever had come down quite a bit, that there was a good chance he'd be able to go home later on that day. So Didi took the doctor's word for it, as she struggled to get the toddler changed out of his hospital gown back into his regular clothes, checked Tommy out of the hospital, and headed, for home.
Didi struggled to get Tommy into his car seat, as he continued to punch her and kick her, screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Now now sweetie, you have to ride in your car seat, you don't want to get hurt do you?" Didi asked, as she finally got Tommy buckled in, went around to the driver's door, and started heading in the direction of home.
As she was driving, she would check on Tommy every so often through the rear view mirror, only to notice that in the mirror, his eyes appeared to look red and green, in place of where his black pupils usually were surrounded by the white that made up his eyes. But Didi had very little sleep the past few nights, as she sat in an uncomfortable chair in Tommy's hospital room, worrying about her son. Thinking that maybe this was only her imagination playing tricks on her, and the fact that she felt very sleep deprived, Didi decided to just, ignore it, hoping it was nothing. But she also couldn't help that Tommy seemed to be displaying some behavior that was unusual to him. He was never usually this difficult to get dressed, or to put into his car seat, but he did suffer from a head injury, and he was sick with a cold and ear infection, and was now on antibiotics to help clear it up, perhaps crankiness and irritability were side effects of this antibiotic, just as they were nearly a year ago, when Tommy had been struck by The Gray Plague.
But what Didi didn't realize, was that Tommy was far from being cured of his cold, ear infection, and head injury, if anything, Doctor Doofensmirtz, had only, made things worse.
And just how bad would things get? We'll find out, in chapter 2.
