(Hello fellow 9 fans, here's a new one for you, and this idea may seem like Mable's but trust me IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY, so fans of Mable's work please don't get upset, I even gave her a head's up before writing, she is soooooo nice, now let us begin)
It was night and the twins had 2 reading them to sleep with an old classic 'Alice in Wonderland', 3 and 4's first choice was 'War and Peace', but Wonderland was a close second, while 4 was listening to her grand-father figure, her brother was staring of into space. She shook her brother's shoulder and clicked to him.
"3 you're not listening"
3 acted shocked, "of course I'm listening" he clicked/scoffed.
"Then what were the last words told to you"
"3 you're not listening", the stitchpunk said to his sibling as she rolled her optics.
"7"
The twins stopped and turned to see the pale stitchpunk but she was nowhere to be seen.
"That was the end of chapter 7, and it's getting late, we'll finish this tomorrow alright you two".
The twins nodded with their heads down in dissapointment and 2 sighed and got up the thimble beside the twins in their makeshift bed, but before he left, 3 grabbed the pencil and a sticky note from beside his half of the bed, having it there so he could talk to the other's and hurried to 2.
"What is it my boy ?"
3 held up the yellow paper showing ( 7 ?)
"7 went to the west wing of the library, she said she needed some alone time, but she should be on her way back to wish you two goodnight".
4 got up with a sticky note, took the pencil from her brother, drew something and showed it to 2 as well, it was two halves of a heart seperated from each other, one with a 9 inside it, the other with a 7 inside it and a question mark in between. 2 looked and chuckled at the worried garden glove.
"Ever since I met her, 7 has been a very proud girl, and because of the incident, it's been very hard for her to adapt to needing support, and 9 might have been trying a little to hard to help her, it's a feeling of pride you two, those kids are fine, they just need to cool down",
They all knew, all to well what happened, because they are mechanical, it turned out that most of their brains are made up from computer hardware. When trying to observe an old, busted computer in the east wing of the library, 2 did something that caused a electrical current to spring, before he could get hurt, 7 pushed him out of the way, and ended up having the electricity go right through her head. After examination, 2 concurred that the current held a computer virus that was then transfected to 7's hard ware, through research, they were able to kill the virus but during that time and for a while, 7 was told to rest and let her brain cool down from the shock (pun not intended).
7 had to adapt to others helping her, considering one the after affects of the virus being she could collapse at anytime, but 9, he treated her like she was fragile, in his mind, he was looking out for her, but in her mind, he was thinking her as weak, something she clearly wasn't. When she had enough she made it clear, but 9 took it as her getting her pride stuck in the way, earlier that day they had a fight and everyone knew to stay clear of them.
"Oh and by the way, the bucket elevator got jammed so no going near it till 5 and I can fix it, alright". And with that, 2 left the twins but neither could get any sleep.
A adaptation of "Worst Day of My Life" Carly Rose Soneclair Version-Wonderland, (all underlined things, are the twins mimicking either 7 or 9)
"This has got to be the worst day" clicked 4.
"What" clicked her confused brother.
"This has got to be the worst day of my life" clicked 4 again.
"Home should be more than empty halls, a bed and these four walls" she continued
"But we can make-believe, if hope it can be true" 3 encouraged.
"But if was always, 'this is real, change just happens, learn to deal', words like 'it's for your own good, we'd stay together if we could, some things are as they should"
"Oh it's not that bad", clicked her brother, "they just need to cool down like 2 said".
4:"Yeah but life was so much better, when 9 and 7 were smiling every day ,then a sudden talk of problems not fully healed
3: Concern was the word I think
4: 7 says things will be alright, I can stay up for a night
3: next thing that you know there in a fight
4: and now it's "stop being so degrading", now leaving us and 2 waiting
3: while he reads to us and trying to suffice
4: but all I want is to turn the clock back
3: put the anger block back
4: the tension here you can cut it with a knife
3 and 4: this is the worst day of our lives
(End Song)
"3 do you hear that"
"Yeah it kind of sounded like *gasps* footsteps"
"Pretend you're asleep, quick"
The twins shut their optics, trying to pretend sleeping as they felt third presence in the room with them. It actually wasn't a room, but spacious hole in the hollow wall, outside the children's section, on the ground floor of the library, though the twins loved open spaces to explore, they wanted their sleeping quarters to be small and cozy, and safe feeling at night.
7 slid open the wooden board that served as a door, walked through the hole and into the 'room', and smiled at the 'sleeping' pair, she was about to leave when her optics spotted the book near the bedside.
"Alice in Wonderland huh" she whispered to herself, "ow", she winced at the pain in her head, though as much as she would try and deny it, the computer virus did take it's toll on her.
"Alice in Wonderland", 7 said sarcastically while walking towards her room, to be closer to the twins, her room was in the children's room as well, at least one was, she had at least four different hiding places all to herself that she discovered when exploring the vast building, one of them was actually nothing more than a large, built in window bench with a giant blue curtain that covered it all around. "I get a small hit to the head and suddenly I'm made of glass, but after mad tea-parties and decapitating monarchs, no one made a fuss about her.
Suddenly, a figure ran past her, "wait what just happened", she just now cooled down from her fight with 9, she wasn't in the mood for games.
"Hey get back here".
She kept trying to chase the stranger down, but 7 had been so absorbed in frustration that she didn't realize till it was to late...
"Wait WOW, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH".
And down the bucket elevator she went.
(So what do you think, read and review, and I'll see you down rabbit hole tomorrow with a new chapter)
