DM Thunderstorms and Scary Movies
One day, Margo was playing space aliens with Agnes until, Edith had a trick up her sleeve: she was going to untie Margo's shoe laces while she was running. When Edith had the chance, Margo tripped over a hard tree branch and screamed in pain! Gru came rushing toward Margo and tried getting her to her feet but Margo yelped in pain again while hopping on one foot.
"Margo! What happened?!" Gru asked. "I... I think it was Edith since I felt something touching my shoe laces." "Okay, let's go to Doctor Nefario and we will see what happened." "Okay." Margo said quietly as she winced again in pain. "Seems like Margo has broken her toe." Dr. Nefario said. "I'll give her a wheelchair and some crutches to use for the time being." "Thank you. Now let's deal with Edith." Gru said.
"Edith, can you say sorry to your sister." "I'm sorry Margo. I didn't mean for you to get hurt. I really don't know what came over me. Can you forgive me?" Edith said and she kissed Margo as a sign of apology. Despite Margo being a little mad with Edith, she forgave Edith. "What did I miss?" Agnes asked when she wondered where Margo went. "Trust me, you don't wanna know." Gru and Margo said.
Gru then took Margo to the doctor in the wheelchair Dr Nefario had given who asked Margo to remove her shoe and sock. She saw that Margo's index toe on her left foot was bruised and swollen. ''Margo, you defiantly have a broken toe, but this time it's not serious and you don't have to go to the hospital. You''ll just need some buddy taping and be careful not to walk on it''. ''What's buddy taping?'' Margo wanted to know.
''It's where I tape your broken toe to one of your other toes that aren't broken. That toe will then act as a sprint to help the broken one to mend'' the kind doctor explained. She placed a piece of cotton wool between Margo's broken index toe and her middle toe and taped them together with the very special medical tape.
Margo was also given some crutches to use while she had to be kept off her feet for about four to six weeks. Gru, when they got back it was raining heavily, ''Dat looks like a thunderstorm's on the way'' Gru thought. Meanwhile inside. Margo settled down to watch some Tv with her two sisters, Edith and Agnes. They were watching some scary horror films.
Having watched quite a few dvds, Gru said it was time to get ready for bed. Soon enough all three girls were fast asleep. Agnes however soon began to dream. But it wasn't one of those good dream about princesses who rode on unicorns. It was quite different. Agnes thought her eyes were playing tricks on her even though they did feel slightly itchy and she felt there was something in them and she had to rub them better.
Agnes didn't know it just yet. But she was in the process of having a nightmare! Great big monsters oozed from a swamp and were chasing right after her! To make matters worse, there was a loud bang of thunder and a flash of lighting Agnes screamed so loud that not only did she wake her two sisters, she also brought Gru and Lucy running right in to see what the matter was.
Agnes told them what she thought had happened. ''There, there was these huge monsters chasing me!'' she shrieked ''and my eyes burn and feel itchy. ''Oh Agnes'' Gru said ''you've been having nightmares, and as for your eyes. He looked at them real closely. ''Just as I thought'' he declared. ''you may have conjunctivitis!''.
He handed Agnes a nearby mirror and she stared at her reflection. Agnes saw that her eyes were all ringed with red and quite full of crust and gunk. The thunder banged loudly again making Agnes jump and Gru and Lucy held her very tightly.
''One of us will take you to de doctor tomorrow'' Gru said. ''Ok'' Agnes said rather sleepily. The very next day, Gru went with Agnes to the GPs. They came back with something called eye drops. Once home, Lucy put the first lot into Agnes's eyes making her squirm. Then Gru and Lucy went to help Margo get up and set her on her crutches which she had to use in the places where she couldn't use the wheelchair.
When outside, Margo got used to wheeling herself around in no time at all.
