"Scientific Curiosity"
Takes place during "One of Us"
Jimmy's POV
(Flashback to earlier at school: Maybe you should come over and watch it with me, Jimmy. It would make me VERY happy. End Flashback. Cut to evening on the street) As much as the Happy Show Show sucks, I feel like tonight's gonna be great. I just finished getting ready for what's likely to me the night of my life. I was nearing Betty's house when I saw through the window. Man, she looks happy, but something's not right. I saw the reflection on the wall, and I could make out the words.
"Now listen to me." The old lady on the TV said.
"Yes grandma..." Betty said in a monotone voice.
"You will do as I say and get everyone to watch the Happy Show Show." So I was right. This show caused everyone to be hypnotized at the grandma's will. I quickly run inside to stop Betty before it's too late.
"Betty, Stop! This show is hypnotizing you!" I warn her, but I have a feeling that it's too late.
"I love watching the Happy Show Show, and you should watch too." Betty says as she gets up and attempts to grab me. I immediately ran out of the house so I could try and report it. I gotta get to my parents. On the way to my house I felt a force grab one of my hands. Betty was faster than I thought. "We ARE going to see it. We'll both be happy afterwards."
"Let go of me." I said trying to pull my hand out of her grip. If circumstances were different, I would've enjoyed this, but since the whole town is at stake of losing free will, I couldn't let that happen. Surprisingly, Betty has a very strong grip, but eventually she let go. I ran as fast as I could, but she was just about as fast as she was on my tail. I was relatively slow when it came to running. Eventually, I was cornered in someone else's yard.
"Don't resist it Jimmy. This is for the better," Betty said as she was about to grab me.
"No! You need to snap out of it!" I say attempting to let go from her grasp. I admit. I didn't expect any of this to happen. I had nowhere else to go. She pulled me along to a TV, while I was struggling to move. I managed to get ahold of my watch laser. I set the beam to the least painful setting to where it was the equivilent of a static shock. "Sorry to do this Betty, but this is for your own good." I say as I fire the laser. She was not in too much pain thankfully, but I managed to run all the way to my house to warn my parents about this incident. Hopefully they're not hypnotized too.
