Chapter 3

Batty hugged Hound and sat on the floor of her bedroom in her pj's . It was 7:49 and Ben was already asleep on the bottom bunk. As a surprise Daddy and Iantha had gotten Batty and Ben a bunk bed three months before and Batty adored it. She got to sleep on the top bunk because she knew Ben might get scared in the night and have to go get Iantha, but mostly because she liked to be up high. She looked at the note Jane had given to her that afternoon again.

MOPS at Skye and Jane's room

8:00 tonight

Bring all arguments and schemes

The sneaky and sarcastic Blonde

Ps. Jeffery, as an honorary Penderwick please come.

She looked over at sleeping Ben. Ben was four now, and even though Batty had gone to MOPS when she was four, Rosalind had decided that they would hold out on Ben a little while longer only because he was a brother not a sister and wouldn't be any help in solving problems, at least not at this point. This made Batty feel special but also sad because Ben would feel left out if he knew. So Batty decided not to tell him if he didn't ask.

She glanced over at the clock again, 7:56. I'll go early, she decided and crept out her bedroom door and down the hall to Skye and Jane's room.

Jane looked through the fridge in a hurry, she desperately needed food and knew if she needed food then Jeffery and even more…Skye would be dying for food. She looked behind the orange juice, and there they were….."Sabrina Starr only took what was needed from the botanist's fridge for she and her companions would surely starve without it." Ohh, that was good, thought Jane and made a mental note to write it down, but in the mean time she pulled out one of Churchie's blackberry pies. Jeffery had brought three pies with him two days earlier, when he had arrived. Oh, thought Jane, it's only the third week of summer and already a new evil lady has come into our lives to ruin it. Jane was frustrated, the last two years Mr. T-D had been able to mess up the Penderwick's plans somehow, even if it was only with worry. This summer there had been plans for Alec to take Jeffery for the summer because Dexter and Mr. T-D had plans to go to Europe, but at the last minute Alec had an emergency to tend to and Jeffery had ended up at the Penderwick's and there was nothing his mother could do about it. Jane and Skye had done a victory dance around the kitchen when they had gotten the news, but now Mrs. G here and Jane worried there might be nothing they could do about it. She tried to push the thought out of her head as she grabbed plates, forks, and the pie itself.

Jane rushed up the stairs as quickly as you can carrying a pie and eating utensils, praying Skye hadn't been overcome with hunger and had to resort to cannibalism. When she came to her door Batty arrived as well.

"Battykins will you please open the door for me?" Jane asked her hands full. "Sure," Batty said and opened the door.

Jane stepped inside, " Skye, I-" She started and stopped as Skye and Jeffery pulled apart from one another. Skye wiped her hand over her lips and Jeffery turned ever so slightly red.

Jane looked at them skeptically, "Were you to just-?"

"What? No." said Skye looking as normal as possible after your two younger sisters walk in on you and your boyfriend kissing.

Jane smiled and just shook her head. "Well anyways, I came to tell you that I brought pie." Skye's face lit up, "Thank God, I was about to starve."

Jane put the stuff down and began to cut the pie, " So that's why you decided to eat Jeffery's face?"

Skye threw a pillow at Jane but they both laughed anyways.

Rosalind closed her notebook and pulled on her comfiest pjs. She pulled her hair into a sloppy bun and checked her phone one last time to make sure Anna hadn't texted anymore ideas for their Exterminate-Mrs. G-Plan. She hadn't, so Rosalind crept out her bedroom and down the hall to Skye and Jane's room. When she entered she was offered a piece of pie and a soda (which Jane had gotten on their second food run). She gratefully took them and plopped down next to Jeffry and Batty on Jane's bed. Skye and Jane were on Skye's bed, both on their third piece of pie.

Once Skye had swallowed her last bite and taken a gulp or two of Sprite and wiped her mouth, she called the MOPS to order.

"Second the motion," said Rosalind.

"Third it," said Jane.'

"Fourth it," Batty said.

"Fifth it," said Jeffery.

"And sixth it for Hound," said Skye.

Everyone stared, they all knew Skye hated it when Batty did this, and now she was doing it. "What?" she asked. "This is important and we need all the power we can get," stated Skye.

Rosalind shrugged.

"Okay, anyways, all swear to keep secret what is said here from Daddy, Iantha, and Mrs. G, especially Mrs. G, unless you believe someone will do something truly wrong." Skye put out her fist and everyone else stacked theirs on hers. "This I swear on the Penderwick Family Honor," they all stated and broke their fists apart.

"Okay, so we all know what happened today, and we all know what will happen tomorrow," Skye now looked around to make sure that everyone did know, they all gave some sort of nod so Skye went on. "The question is what are we going to do about it?" Skye was secretly calling upon Napoleon, Winston Churchill, and all the other great leaders that she could think of, for help as she rallied her troops. "No one can barge into our lives and home without our permission. And we all know Daddy and Iantha aren't strong enough to stand up against her without our help. She has insulted our honor and I for one am not going to allow her to do so without punishment." If Batty was a good piano player then Skye was a good leader, at least when she believed in the cause. "So… we need ideas for how to properly punish…and or get rid of Mrs. G."

Rosalind now pulled out her notebook and flipped it to the page with Anna and her schemes. She handed it over to Skye who smiled. "Nice work Rosy!"

Schemes

(A list by Rosalind and Anna)

Kill Her

Make her sick (possibly through poison) so she cannot Stay at our house

Give her the wrong address

Have Hound sleep in her bedroom every night

Go on strike until she leaves

Speak in Latin Until she can't stand it anymore and goes Bonkers

Cause her so much trouble she will leave out of hatred for us

Ask Iantha to make her go away

Move to Brazil

Skye's first choice was obviously number 1 but after much discussion and being reminded that it was Iantha's mother after all, number one was crossed off and number seven circled.

"We will come up with more specific ways to fulfill our plan but this is the outline," Skye stated.

"So first things first," said Jane. "The bedroom…."
