It's been a week since everyone except for Lucy, Dru, Dr. Nefario, and the three villains, had the flu. Vector was outside.
Vector: I can't believe it! Gru and Lucy stopped us!
El Macho: Yeah and when in doubt, blame Balthazar.
Balthazar: Hey!
El Macho: Your dance moves ruined it!
Vector: Shrink ray!
Vector took the shrink ray out and he shrunk Balthazar's music player. Meanwhile, in Gru's house, the phone rang. Lucy picked the phone up.
Lucy: Hello?
Valerie Da Vinci: I need you and Gru to the AVL!
Lucy: Alright.
Lucy hung the phone up and she ran to Gru's room. Gru was asleep. Lucy walked in.
Lucy: Gru, wake up. The AVL needs us. Gru?
Gru woke up.
Gru: Hey Lucy.
Lucy: We need to go to the AVL. I bet Vector, El Macho, and Balthazar are up to something and we don't want to make Valerie Da Vinci mad.
Gru groaned. He still didn't feel good. Last week, instead of resting, he was getting the things that the girls needed. Now he feels worse.
Gru: Lucy, I can't go.
Lucy: Why not?
Gru: Well remember last week? I pushed myself. I'm sorry Lucy.
Lucy: It's alright Gru.
Then Lucy took her phone out and she called someone, and that someone was Dru.
Lucy: Hey, can you come over here? Thanks.
Lucy hung up and Gru closed his eyes. In the hallway, Margo and Agnes were running around.
Agnes: Can't catch me!
Margo: Agnes!
Lucy: Girls, what's going on? Where's Edith?
Margo: In her bed.
Edith was in her bed. She wasn't sick anymore, but she had a plan. She heard that Gru is still sick and he can't go to the AVL or be with the minions. Edith wanted to stay home and cause some problems with the minions. Edith laughed. Lucy walked in.
Lucy: Edith, let's go to school.
Edith: I can't. I'm still sick.
Lucy: Just like Gru. Oh no. Well you can stay here. I've got to take Margo and Agnes to school, and then go to the AVL.
Lucy left.
Edith: Hah! Nailed it!
Margo and Agnes walked in. They heard Edith.
Margo: Nailed what?
Then Margo gasped. She knew what was happening.
Margo: You're not sick! You're lying!
Edith: Yeah.
Agnes: Why?
Edith: So I can be with the minions.
Margo: I'm telling Lucy!
Edith: No! This is a once in a lifetime event. You will not ruin this for me.
Margo: What?
Edith: Gru's sick, Lucy has to go to the AVL, and Dr. Nefario is not around.
Margo: Where did he go?
Edith: Some convention.
Agnes: Margo?
Margo sighed.
Margo: Alright. We won't tell Lucy.
Then Lucy walked in.
Lucy: Girls, let's go. Edith, feel better.
Edith: Have fun.
Then Dru walked in.
Dru: Bye.
Lucy: Get dressed like Gru.
Dru: Alright.
After Dru got dressed like Gru, everyone except for Gru, Edith, and the minions left. Edith looked around. No one was around.
Edith: Yes!
Edith got out of bed and ran to Gru's lab. The minions saw Edith.
Kevin: Edith! Maxguv bok.
Edith: Alright guys, I have news. Gru's still sick.
Bob: No!
Stuart: Gru's roopa bro?
Edith: Yes, but you have me. I'm in charge.
Dave: Si!
Edith: Cool! This is better than being in school.
Tim: No borko?
Edith: Nope.
Lucy and Dru made it to the AVL. They walked in.
Lucy: Come on Dru.
Dru: Alright. I'm here!
Lucy: Remember, you're Gru now, so when I say Gru, you have to respond. Understand?
Dru: Got it.
Lucy: Let's find Valerie Da Vinci.
Valerie Da Vinci: You have to stop Vector, El Macho, and Balthazar Bratt. They stole a shrink ray!
Lucy: A shrink ray?
Then Lucy gasped. Gru has a shrink ray. The three villains stole it!
Lucy: Oh no. Gru!
Dru looked around the AVL.
Lucy: Gru! Hey!
Dru looked at Lucy.
Dru: What?
Lucy: You were supposed to respond!
Dru: You said Gru, my name is…
Lucy: Gru! Yes, you're Gru. Valerie Da Vinci, can I speak to Gru for a second? Alone?
Valerie Da Vinci: Fine, but make it quick.
Lucy: Thank you.
Lucy grabbed Dru and took him to a corner.
Dru: Whoa! Where we going?
Lucy: A better question. What are you doing!? You were supposed to respond when I say Gru!
Dru: Oh. Sorry. I didn't know.
Lucy: When I asked you if you understood the plan, you said yes.
Dru: I only said yes to make you proud.
Lucy: Dru, if you didn't understand the plan, you could have just told me to repeat it.
Dru: Okay. Can you go it over?
Lucy: Sure. You're Gru. When I say Gru, you respond.
Dru: Okay.
Lucy: Let's go back.
Lucy and Dru went back to Valerie Da Vinci.
Lucy: We're back.
Valerie Da Vinci: Good. Now as I was saying, Vector, El Macho, and Balthazar Bratt stole the shrink ray!
Lucy: Gru!
Dru: Yes Lucy? Oh no! The shrink ray! I thought we had it.
Lucy: Well we don't have it anymore. Wait a minute. I think I know what happened.
Vector, El Macho, and Balthazar were still outside.
El Macho: Now we have the shrink ray. How did we get that? Vector?
Vector: Don't look at me.
Balthazar: I guess I'm the only one who remembers. I took it from Gru.
El Macho: How?
Balthazar: It was easy. He was very sick.
There was a flashback to last week. Balthazar went to Gru's house and he put a costume on. He looked exactly like Lucy. Then he put a protection suit on and walked into Gru's room. Gru was asleep. He had no idea that Balthazar took the shrink ray and left with it. The flashback ended.
Balthazar: And that's how I got the shrink ray.
Vector: How come you didn't tell us that you had it?
Balthazar: I went to a concert right after.
Vector and El Macho: Balthazar!
Balthazar: What? It was an 80s concert and you know how much I love the 80s.
El Macho: We know.
Then Balthazar gasped. He forgot something.
Balthazar: I forgot my keyboard at the concert!
Vector: Okay. We'll get it.
Dru and Lucy were in Lucy's car. They drove to an auditorium. Lucy saw the villains.
Lucy: There they are!
Dru: This bald cap is making me sweat.
Lucy: Don't take it off!
Dru: Why not?
Lucy: You're pretending to be Gru. The real Gru doesn't have hair.
Dru: Maybe I can be a clone.
Lucy: No. Just stuck to the plan.
The three villains went into the auditorium. Balthazar saw his keyboard.
Balthazar: My keyboard!
Then for fun, Balthazar walked on stage.
El Macho: Good, now let's rule the world.
Unfortunately, Balthazar was distracted again. He started singing Take On Me.
Balthazar: Take on me. Take me on! I'll be gone in a day or two!
Vector: Come on Balthazar! We don't have time for this!
Then Dru and Lucy walked in. Dru took his bald cap off.
Lucy: Alright Gru, let's do this.
Lucy looked at Dru and she saw that Dru took the cap off. Lucy sighed.
Lucy: Dru, we talked about this.
Dru: Relax. Everything will be fine.
Wrong! When Dru was walking, he stepped into paint. The color of the paint was the color of a lime.
Lucy: Oh no! Dru!
El Macho: Who's there?
Lucy gasped. Vector turned around and he saw Lucy.
Vector: Well, well, well. Lucy and….is that Gru?
Lucy: Well….
Dru: I'm his twin brother, Dru!
El Macho: Gru has a twin brother?
Lucy: You're coming with us villains.
That wasn't successful. The three villains ran away. Lucy and Dru had to chase them. Meanwhile, back at Gru's house, the minions were sad.
Bob: Ka missa Gru.
Edith: I get it. You miss Gru. Come on. Let's have some fun. I have bananas.
Stuart: Banana!
Edith: Let's play a game. Who ever has the banana, has to run away with it and you have to chase that person. Let's do this!
Edith grabbed a banana and she started running away with it.
Jerry: Banana!
Edith: Come get me.
Edith and the minions were running around the house. Then by accident, Edith broke something. Gru was asleep in his room. He heard the glass break and woke up. Then he went back to sleep. Edith gasped.
Edith: Oh no.
Minions: Ooh!
Edith: Shh!
Edith opened Gru's door and she saw that Gru was asleep. Then Edith closed the door.
Edith: Phew. Close call.
Kevin grabbed the banana from Edith.
Kevin: Si!
This made Stuart hungry.
Stuart: Banana!
Kevin: No, Stuart.
Kevin screamed and he ran away. Stuart was chasing him.
Stuart: Banana!
Edith: No. Stop. We're done.
Then Edith broke another object.
Edith: Great.
Lucy walked into the AVL. She just failed the case.
Valerie Da Vinci: Lucy.
Lucy: Hi.
Dru walked in and he saw a ketchup bottle.
Dru: Hmm. Ketchup.
Dru picked the bottle up, but then he tripped and when he tripped, the ketchup in the bottle was flying all over the AVL.
Valerie Da Vinci: Why is Gru so clumsy?
Dru: Sorry. I've been distracted.
Valerie Da Vinci walked over to "Gru."
Valerie Da Vinci: Wait. Why do you have blonde eyebrows?
Lucy gasped.
Lucy: Oh no. The eyebrows. I forgot.
Dru: I dyed my eyebrows.
Some of Dru's hair was showing.
Valerie Da Vinci: Is that hair?
Valerie Da Vinci took the bald cap off of Dru's head. Everyone saw Dru's hair and gasped.
Valerie Da Vinci: You're not Agent Gru! Who are you?
Dru: I'm Gru's twin brother Dru!
Valerie Da Vinci: Agent Lucy, you've got a lot of explaining to do!
Lucy: Okay. Here's the truth. Gru's sick and you won't let Gru have a sick day, so I thought of the next best thing. Dru, his twin brother, can sub in for Gru, but that was wrong.
Back at Gru's house, Edith had to find Kevin and Stuart.
Edith: Okay. We need to find Kevin and Stuart. Any ideas?
Bob raised his hand.
Edith: Bob?
Bob was singing Love Me Do by the Beatles in minionese.
Edith: Anyone else have an idea?
Then another song was playing. This song was called Mountain Of Love by Johnny Rivers. Stuart was singing the song in minionese.
Edith: Does anyone hear that?
Dave: Si.
Edith: That has to be Stuart. Stuart! Kevin!
Bob: Kevin! Stuart!
Edith: Where are they?
Then the phone rang.
Edith: Stay here.
Edith looked at the phone number. It was the AVL and Edith picked it up.
Edith: Hello?
Lucy: Hi. Lucy Wilde. Wait. Edith, what are you doing out of bed?
Edith: I have a confession to make. I'm not sick. I just wanted to be with the minions.
Lucy: Oh.
Edith: I made a huge mistake Lucy. I played a game with the minions and it went out of control. Kevin and Stuart are lost, and there's glass everywhere.
Lucy: Well. Good thing I wasn't the only one who had a hard day.
Edith: What happened with you?
Lucy: Valerie Da Vinci caught us. The plan failed!
Edith was confused.
Edith: What plan?
Lucy: Since Gru was sick, I thought that Dru can sub in, but it failed. Dru is very clumsy.
Edith: What do I do?
Lucy: I think you need to tell Gru.
Edith: I understand.
Lucy: Good.
Lucy hung up. Valerie Da Vinci walked over to Lucy.
Valerie Da Vinci: I am very disappointed!
Lucy: I understand.
Dru: Don't blame yourself, Lucy. It as my fault. I'll clean this up.
Dru took his leg out of the paint can and he threw the can at the wall. Now there was lime green paint on the wall.
Lucy and Valerie Da Vinci: No!
Dru: What?
Lucy: Great. Now there's lime green paint on the wall.
Valerie Da Vinci: One more mess like this, Agent Lucy, and you're fired!
Lucy gasped. Meanwhile, Edith ran into Gru's room.
Edith: Gru? Gru? I have a problem.
Gru woke up and saw Edith.
Gru: Edith? What are you doing home from school?
Edith: I wanted to be with the minions, so I pretended to be sick, but it failed. How are you feeling?
Gru: A little better. What else happened? I heard glass.
Edith: That was me. Also, Kevin and Stuart are missing.
Gru groaned.
Edith: Can you help?
Gru: Alright. Let's clean the glass and find Kevin and Stuart.
Gru and Edith left Gru's room and they went into the hallway.
Edith: Here it is.
Gru: Wow. That's a mess alright. Oh. My head hurts.
Edith: Sit down. I've got this. Kevin? Stuart?
Then Lucy, Dru, Margo, and Agnes walked in.
Agnes: Gru!
Margo: Wow Edith. This is crazy.
Edith: I'm sorry.
Lucy: Yep. Huge mess. Alright. Edith and I will clean this up, Margo and Agnes, do your homework, Gru...Gru? Why are you out of bed? I know why Edith is out of bed, but why are you awake?
Gru: Edith needs my help.
Lucy sighed.
Lucy: Gru, I told you. You're doing it again. You need to rest. You can't wander around and search for minions.
Gru: Alright.
Gru walked back to his room. Kevin and Stuart were running around.
Agnes: Kevin!
Edith: Finally! Now let's clean the mess.
It took two hours for Lucy, Dru, Margo, Edith, Agnes, and the minions to clean the house. Then Dru walked into Gru's room. Gru was asleep.
Dru: Brother? Hey. I know you're asleep, but I'm sorry. I just wanted to pretend of be you. That's all. If Lucy gets fired from the AVL in the future, blame me.
Dru put his hand on Gru. Gru held Dru's hand and Gru woke up.
Gru: It's alright Dru.
Dru: I hope you get better soon, brother.
