Togepi flung herself onto the white-coat. Rage pulsed through her tiny eggshell body. She didn't know where her sudden anger came from, but she didn't have time to push it aside. Slamming her head into the white-coat's stomach, she thought dully, Headbutt. He huffed as the wind got knocked out of him. But he quickly recovered. He reached for Togepi. Instinctively, Togepi felt herself using another move. Feeling herself multiply, she felt secure. Double Team.
About twenty copies of herself were all over the room. Swinging from the TV, jumping on the bed, and even one was on the white-coat's head. Togepi laughed, and all of her copies laughed, too. "Deeeebreeee!" She taunted them, as they desperately grabbed all Togepi copies in their reach, making them disappear into thin air. The real Togepi was under the bed. Unfortunately, she knew her copies would run out soon. She ran out from under the bed to the door and her copies followed her. They ran down the hall cheering, "Deeebree! Deee!" Suddenly Togepi slipped and landed on the front of her eggshell. She slid down the hall at full speed, her copies doing the same. "Breeeeeeeeeee!" Father down the hall, from one of the many doors, a woman, dressed in white like all the others, exited from the door into the hall. As soon as she saw the Togepis racing toward her at full speed, her eyes rolled back into her head dramatically and she fainted.
Togepi could see a door at the end of the hallway. Light was streaming from it, and she could see bushes, trees and flowers on the other side. She could also see an old man with a stick kindly holding the door open for an old woman in a moving chair. Togepi narrowed her eyes. Freedooooommm!
It happened very quickly. The man, panic-stricken, put his stick out in front of the woman as if to protect her, but his fingers slipped and the stick fell to the ground. Togepi could not slide with an object in the middle of the hall. She tripped over it and flew into the air, over the woman, outside, to freedom! She landed on her feet and did a little dance that only Togepis do when they've done something they're very proud of. "Deebree!" Togepi finished her dance and ran for her life, away from the horrible place with people dressed all in white, and old, frail people confined inside. Togepi shuddered. Never, ever, would she go to the place ever again. Wait...why did she go there in the first place...? Togepi halted. She had stopped breathing, and her eyes were huge with realization. Kay.
