The next morning Jane got up and changed into the clothes again, the other set of clothes that had been given her were getting cleaned. She went downstairs to do her first chores of the day and helped make breakfast, trying her hardest to make it edible for everyone. Patty woke up from her bedroom and wiped her eyes. Her eyeliner had run a little from her sleep and that she was crying herself to sleep again. She quickly wiped off the makeup so no one would know she had been crying and went to start her morning like the others. Agnes had clutched her unicorn doll and Margo was slowly waking up first as the sun highlighted over her glasses on her nightstand. Edith was still asleep, even in the terrible conditions she could sleep well. Jane soon had the breakfast made and started to hand out the bowls to the ones awake, making sure it would be warm for everyone.

Patty went to wake up her younger sisters. "Wakey, wakey..." she droned.

Agnes was still cuddling with her little prized doll.

Margo yawned and got out of the bed fully. "Okay, okay... Come on, guys..." she told Edith and Agnes.

Edith groaned but got up. "Fine..." she mutters and got dressed, half asleep.

Margo gently shook Agnes awake. "Come on, Aggie..."

Agnes mumbled, but woke up and walked nearly like a zombie. Patty lightly smirked at the girls and walked with them to get them freshened up for the day and to eat breakfast like the others. Edith washed up with the others and then headed downstairs to join everyone for breakfast.


Jane offered them all weak smiles as she gave them their food. "It's still warm and I've given you slightly more than everyone else as we'll have ta work hard." she said quietly to the trio and the elder girl.

"We'll need our strength and energy, won't we?" Patty added.

The girls sat in their spots and went to get their quick breakfast before another cookie sale. Edith looked disgusted at the porridge but it was better than nothing, and it was better tasting than whenever the cook did it.

Jane had herself a bowl once everyone else was served. She had a smaller portion as she didn't have a big appetite. Agnes picked at some of her breakfast, but ate it. Margo ate some as well. Patty was eating a little slowly. The other girls had left the room, having finished and had to wash their dishes as they were done no matter how old they were. Edith ate it quickly so she didn't taste it.

Jane finished hers and even though she wanted to help out everyone she couldn't wash all the dishes, it was a 'rule' that everyone had to do their own dish. Patty made sure the younger girls got their dishes done. She saw it was another sunny day and sighed. Something about sunny days didn't bring her happiness, a lot of people thought it was because she was Emo. She found the wagon Miss Hattie had brought in for them with cookie boxes for them to sell. When Margo came, Patty handed her the clipboard.

"Everyone ready?" Patty asked the younger girls and Jane.

"Yeah..." Edith said, in a dull tone.

Jane nodded. "Yes..." she agreed. Today her hair was tied into a ponytail to keep it out-of-the-way so it wouldn't bother them while they were 'working'.

Meanwhile a bald, tall man with a long, pointy nose was brooding over how to get this thing he wanted to complete his plan.

"Let's just get it over with, come on." Patty told her sisters as she slipped on a pair of sunglasses and took out a hooded sweatshirt.

"Won't you get hot in that, Patty?" Agnes pointed to the jacket.

"I don't burn, Aggie, I simmer..." Patty droned, looking mysterious.

Edith walked out holding the door open for her sisters, the cart and Jane.

Jane followed after them. She couldn't help, but blurt out something about what Patty had said. "And after she simmers long enough, we'll serve her up." she said, her tone joking though.

Agnes caught the joke and giggled a little as she held Margo's hand. Patty looked around them, then started to walk out with the girls. Margo took out her list, then went to the first name on the list, leading the way with Jane. Edith followed, kind of bored. Jane led them through the addresses. They soon got to Gru's house. Gru was petting his 'dog' Kyle and sighing. The strange creature growled a little, but was sleeping a little.


Margo went to Gru's doorstep and knocked on the door, surprising the man.

"Hellooooo? Cookies for sale!" Agnes called.

Patty tapped her foot a little, waiting for the owner of the house to open up and take their cookies. Edith waited too, looking bored.

Gru almost fell over the arm of his sofa, but he made his way to kneel by his letterbox. "Go away." he said, in a rather thick Russian accent.

"We're selling cookies, Sir." Jane told the man.

"We know you're in there!" Margo added.

Patty dully stood by the wagon, not really doing anything. Agnes clutched her doll as she waited for what sounded like a kind man to her on the other side of the door.

"There is no one here, this is an automated message, go away and leave now" Gru says.

Jane sighed, she could tell he was there, but she didn't feel like trying to plead with the man. She started to head towards the next house. Edith looked slightly surprised at her, then looked annoyed and disbelieving at the door.

"No, it's not." Margo said to the door.

"Come on, let's just go." Patty told the girls.

"Goodbye, recorded message!" Agnes piped with a friendly smile.

Gru watched them leave and saw them heading to Vector's house. He laughed almost meanly. "They are choosing the wrong place to go." he said.

Edith scowled at the door and kicked a stone. She then followed the others. Jane rang the buzzer that was next to the gate of Vector's place. Kyle was trying to gnaw at a muffin that clearly wasn't for him. Gru didn't pay attention to Kyle, luckily for the 'dog'. Patty was a little disgusted about the coconutty cookie order, but she was glad they weren't at least for her. A giant security camera came out and scanned the girls as they appeared.

"Sir, we have cookies for sale!" Jane said into the intercom. She had a small amysed smile at the level of security.

Edith looked at the camera in awe.

"We're orphans from Miss Hattie's Home for Girls!" Margo called. "We're selling cookies for a better future!"

"You have those coconutties, right?" Vector said from his security camera.

"Yeah..." Patty said, wrinkling her nose.


The doors then opened for them to give the man his cookies. Gru was prepared to laugh at their certain demise, but was shocked as they went in. He then imagined the girls all bringing out the shrink ray her needed. Jane led the girls inside, looking around as she walked. Edith looked disgusted by the order too, but in awe of the stuff.

The girls gave the cookies and made clear for another order. Vector seemed to really like the coconutty cookies and looked forward to buying more from them in the future. Patty looked around, this place was actually not quite bad, but interesting. A lot more interesting than her foster home with the girls.

"Enjoy your Coconutties, sir." Jane told the man in the orange track suit, with a bowl-cut and glasses. She gave him a smile.

Edith looked at Jane and raised an eyebrow. Gru decided he would find these girls and use them to help his plan to steal the moon.

"I know I will." Vector beamed.

"Why are you wearing pajamas?" Agnes asked.

Patty hid a snorting giggle.

Jane gave a tiny giggle and placed a hand on Agnes' head gently. "They're not Pajama's, Aggie, it's a track suit," she explained gently. She then smiled sheepishly but sweetly at Vector. "Sorry about that misunderstanding." she said.

Edith raised her other eyebrow too and then smirked nudging Patty to get the girl to notice what she saw.

"Oh." Agnes said simply.

Patty paid attention, looking down at Edith and saw the scene and raised an eyebrow.

"It's okay, I get that a lot from cute little tykes..." Vector said, casually.

Margo was waiting to collect the money.

"They are cute..." Jane agreed, mussing up Agnes' ponytail, though it retained its normal shape. She smiled at Vector.

Edith whispered to Patty so only she could hear. "Patty, I think Jane likes Bowl-cut." she whispered.

Patty snickered a little. Margo slightly rolled her eyes. She was completely uninterested in boys. Vector handed Margo the money and told the girls he best get back to work. Edith turned and started to lead the way out again.

"Have a nice day," Jane said, quite sweetly. She held a hand out to Agnes. "Come on, Aggie." she said with a smile.


Agnes giggled and went back 'home' with the girls. Vector waved them off and went to get back to work.

"So, that was a fun sale, huh?" Patty droned to Jane.

Edith snorted slightly. Gru saw them leave unscathed too. He decided he would have to go and adopt them all.

Jane looked at Patty. "What do you mean?" she asked, smiling nervously.

Patty shrugged with a goofy face. "Just saying, you seemed really interested in our customer."

Margo went through the clipboard list of who was next, they were almost done. Agnes was quiet, but curious of all around them.

Edith nodded. "I saw it too." she agreed with Patty.

Jane blushed slightly. "I don't know what ya mean." she said.

Gru got Dr. Nefario to make some cookie robots. Patty rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Boys are gross..." Margo folded her arms.

Agnes giggled behind her hand.


Soon after completing most of their quota they headed back to the orphanage. Miss Hattie sent them to do their chores. Jane was cleaning the floor with the scrubbing-brush. Gru made his way to adopt the girls from the orphanage. Patty went to the bathroom to clean up while the younger girls did dishes for the evening. Jane looked up as Gru went passed. She let out an outraged sound as he made the spots she just cleaned all muddy. Gru smirked slightly and went to the office. He gave Miss Hattie a fake compliment.

Miss Hattie looked happy "Who do you want to adopt?" She asked. She then called for the girls to come in when he found out who.

Patty went with her sisters into their bedroom. Looks like wishing for parents wasn't a total loss.

"I bet the mom is so pretty!" Margo sounded elated.

"I bet the dad's eyes sparkle!" Edith chipped in.

"I bet the house is made out of gummy bears!" Agnes chirped as she packed her bag.

Margo and Edith glanced at their younger sister, but continued to get ready for their new lives. Jane actually looked surprised and had to see her aunt. Miss Hattie explained that 'Doctor Gru' wanted to adopt her too and that she had agreed. She sent the girl to pack. Gru looked at them and stood up as they came in.

Patty noticed Jane was also packing. "You too? I didn't think you could get adopted."

Jane looked at Patty. "Aunt Hattie only took me in 'cuz she was forced to." she said with a sigh. She had packed her carrier bag with her now clean other outfit and the brush for her hair.

Edith looked up at Gru. Gru looked down at the girls.

"He's a dentist" Miss Hattie said.

Patty blinked at Gru once she saw him. Margo stared awkwardly. Agnes looked at them, but giggled with excitement and clutched onto his leg. Gru looked scared and tried to get her off. He ended up having to walk out with her still on his leg. Edith chuckled and followed. Jane got Agnes off so she wouldn't get hurt, but gave the girl a piggyback.

Agnes cheered about the ride and was eager to join her sisters for their quest of being adopted. Patty stared out the window as she was in the passenger seat, but a little squished. She was popping on some gum to calm her nerves and didn't really seem to be making a big fuss over this as much as her friend and sisters. Jane looked out of the window. She looked happy. Gru drove and made some children cry and smirked. Edith raised an eyebrow at Gru.
