Hi, guys! I have no idea why, but I just felt like writing this for some reason, I guess just I did it for the sake of writing! I got the idea a few days ago and started writing in civics class and finished it over the second half of lunch. This has nothing to do with my other fanfic. It's in Lewis's point of view after the memory scanner doesn't work. Disclaimer: I own nothing! Enjoy!

First the adoption interview and now this! My memory scanner doesn't even work! I stayed up for days, keeping Goob awake, and all for nothing. I knew Goob was mad at me for keeping him awake, but I thought he would forgive me if my memory scanner worked. I guess I just lost a friend.

I just wish I could be adopted! I want a family! Someone who I could call Mom and Dad.

Rose got adopted quickly, and so did Cookie. Why can't I be like them? Always smiling and being happy.

I sigh to myself. That will never happen. I run inside the orphanage, the last place where I want to be right now.

"Hi, Lewis, how did it go?" Mildred asks, in her cheery tone.

I just give her one look that removes her smile.

"Oh, Lewis, you have next year. There's always next year." Mildred says.

"But it wasn't this year." I answer. It's not just the memory scanner, it's not being adopted that's bothering me. I bet Mildred knows that's what's making me so mad, but she wouldn't dare to mention it.

I just want things to go right. Just once! Why can't I be the kid that gets adopted? Why can't I make a good invention? Why not me?

I run to the roof. Why not me? I keep asking myself. I take out my book and start ripping the pages out, then I see one with me and my mom. Why did my mom not want me? The page blows out of my hand. Fate just told me I was never meant to have a mom, but why can't I have a mom?

I turn the page to find my diagram of the memory scanner and crumple it up into a ball and throw it. I sit on my box with exactly one hundred twenty-four tally marks on it. I wipe away a tear. I don't want anyone to see my cry, but no one else is up here.

I get hit in the head with my paper ball. I was wrong. Someone is up here. I look around and throw the ball again. Wilbur jumps from behind the wall and throws it again.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I ask.

"Coo coo coo-coo coo." Is my response.

I walk up to Wilbur and drop the paper. He places it back in my hand, still cooing.

"Will you quit that, please? I know you're not a pigeon!" I exclaim.

"Shh!" He says, putting his hand over my mouth. "You're blowing my cover!"

"But we're the only onces up here." I tell him.

"That's just what they want you to think! Now, enough moping. Take this back to the science fair and fix that memory scanner!" Wilbur exclaims.

Great, he won't leave my alone now. Can my day get any worse? Why do I have to be stuck with him? Why me?

I hoped you enjoyed it! Ok, the kids Rose and Cookie were named after my guinea pig and rabbit as a tribute to them! Please review!

P.S I think the lines that I used from the movie aren't totally correct, but I didn't want to turn on the movie.
