DM Margo In The Parallel Universe
It was a plain normal day in the Gru residence. Edith was practising her ninja and soccer skills and Agnes was playing with her fluffy unicorn. Margo on the other hand was down in the lab with Gru and Dr Nefario the gadget man.
''Now den Margo'' Gru said ''Dr Nefario and I won't mind if you look at the inventions and weapons we made, but please don't touch anything and beware of de thing with de blanket over eet I got from my father''. ''But why?'' Margo protested ''How comes I can't touch stuff?''.
''because eet's for safety reasons'' Gru explained firmly ''so just look all right?''. ''Ok'' Margo muttered quietly. ''Good den, now how about I look for dat movie you wanted to watch?'', and so saying, he and Dr Nefario walked out of the lab leaving Margo on her own.
That meant she was free to look whatever she wanted as long as she didn't touch anything. Margo looked around for a few seconds, then she went over to the something covered up with a huge blanket. Margo's curiosity got the better of her and she gently pulled off the blanket letting it drop onto the floor.
It was a mirror that the blanket had been covering. Margo was stunned, why would her dad tell her not to touch a mirror? For all Margo knew, mirrors were for looking at your refection. How could this one be any different?
To Margo's surprise, her reflection changed shape just like the funny carnival mirrors making her look funny or hideous. Despite her dad's warning, Margo curiously reached out to touch the glass, but it was no ordinary glass and her finger went right though it and came out again unharmed!
Then before Margo could do anything else, she found herself going right through the glass of the magic mirror! When she came out the other side, Margo found herself standing in what looked like exactly Gru's lab, but was it? Margo didn't realize she was in a parallel universe version of Despicableburg. Margo quickly ran up the steps out of the lab and into the hallway.
Margo stared wildly at the different coloured looking hallway. It didn't even look anything like how she and her sisters had made it look when the social worker came to check Gru's house was suitable for them to live in. The walls were bright yellow with dark blue polka dots.
To add to that, the curtains were closed and the lights were on. Margo looked out of the front door to see it was very dark outside and the moon was out. ''How can it be night time already?'' Margo asked even though there was nobody to answer her question, ''It's only 2:00pm in the afternoon!''. What Margo didn't know was that most people go to sleep in the day time and are awake and up and about in the night time in a parallel universe.
Margo walked along the streets of the upside down world. The street lamps were on and the cars and lorries and buses were out on the road as if it was the middle of the day only it was actually the middle of the night in their case and they all looked wide awake and nowhere near sleepy.
Margo rubbed her eyes, but not because she felt tired herself, but because she wondered if she was dreaming or not. Margo walked straight past what looked like Miss Hattie's Home For Girls the very orphanage she and her sisters had once lived.
