{Author's note: I am so sorry for disappearing. I hope you are all still with me. School started, life got crazy, yeah. I have at least one chapter after this already written, but I'm stuck for more. Please R&R, recommend to friends, anything to motivate me.}
The arrival of some weird monster at Honey's lab didn't faze her at all. Though she did wonder who would ever choose that particular creature as the mascot for the school. Fred pulled off his huge mask, looking strangely at her. "What is it Freddie?" Honey asked him. If Tadashi was her older brother, Fred was undoubtedly her younger brother.
"I was hoping you might soften your heart and try doing THIS." Fred slapped one of his ever present comic books on the table. The fire breathing lizard again.
"Freddie, I told you-"
"I know, I know. It's 'not science' but please!" Honey almost gave in to his convincing puppy dog eyes. And then she looked down at the formulas on the table.
"I'm sorry, Fred, but I promised to work on this formula, and it's very important."
"More important than Fredzilla? Unlikely! What is this anyway?" Fred scanned the pages.
Honey quickly gathered up the papers. "Nothing."
"It doesn't look like nothing." Fred argued. "What is it? What are you trying to hide from the great Fredzilla!"
"Nothing! I'm not hiding anything." Honey Lemon told him. The best defense would be to tell him part of the truth. "I'm doing some work for the hospital. They have a patient with some complex allergic reactions to their medicines, and so I'm trying to develop something for them, and it's so nice of you to take an interest in that. Would you want to help?" She looked up from the papers. Fred was gone. Bingo.
She worked for a few hours, trying formula after formula. What had happened to her chemistry? Everything was failing. Her phone buzzed. Wasabi. He had offered to stop by and check on Tadashi for her, until she could get there that afternoon.
Honey Lemon, we need you, right now. Hurry.
It only took a moment for her to race out the door.
