Chapter10
The whole gang was sitting at a table together. The waiter came up and left the pizza at the table. They had gotten a window seat and you could see the sun setting as it casted a red-orange glow over the city. You could see the building lights glowing like stars.
"The sunset's beautiful Mordecai." said Crescent.
"Huh? Oh, I guess it is." said Mordecai.
Rigby looked out the window.
"Eh" he responded.
The wolf took a bite out of her pizza.
"This pizza's delicious!" she said.
"You know who else is delicious? My mom!" said Muscle Man.
Then, Muscle Man and Fives did a high-five. They ate some more. There was only one slice of pizza left now.
"Rock paper scissors for the last piece?" asked the blue jay.
Mordecai, Rigby, and Crescent were in. Mordecai casted rock, Rigby casted paper, and Crescent casted scissors; the match was a draw. Muscle Man took the last piece.
They left Carmines and were heading home. It was night time now, and you could see the stars and all those constellations.
"Look, the sky has my markings." said Crescent.
"I remember back when they used to use Star Charts navigate the ocean!" said Pops.
She looked up at the stars again.
"Wow, what else happened in the past?" she asked.
"Ooh! I'm glad you asked madam."
At this point, Pops began to ramble about the past. The wolf was intrigued by his stories. For the first time, Pops actually found someone interested in his old banter.
They reached the house and Muscle Man and High-Five Ghost got in their kart and drove to their trailer. Skips just skipped off to his place. Mordecai, Rigby, Crescent, and Pops got out of Benson's kart and he drove off to his apartment. The four of them entered the house. She wanted to be alone to find more memories. The wolf walked up to her room and sat there for a bit. She did find a memory, a terrible memory; a memory she was trying to avoid.
She was in her room in this memory crying. She cried all night, and it is morning now. The wolf was sad because her one and only friend, and the closest thing to a family she had, died last night. Not only did Crescent's friend die but she heard the whole thing. Doctor Caroline Jones is dead. The door opened and Crescent could hear this woman speaking.
"What's wrong subject 152?" she asked.
That voice! It couldn't be; it's a miracle! The wolf looked up, and there she was! Dr. Jones is alive but why did she refer to Crescent as subject 152. That doesn't matter, she's alive!
"Dr. Jones! You're alive!" she said.
"What do you mean, of course I'm alive."
"I thought you were dead, I heard it all, and-and…"
The wolf was holding onto her lab coat and was still sobbing.
"Don't cry it was just a dream. Now let's go to the testing chamber.
*sniff* *sniff* the wolf wiped her tears away.
"Okay." She said.
Crescent held her hand and they were on their way to the testing room. Something wasn't right about the doctor though, first of all she always calls her Crescent, and second, she would get the wolf candy when she feels bad.
"Dr. Jones! Can we get something to eat before the tests?" asked Crescent.
"No!" she responded.
What is going on, she's different than before. Is that really Crescent's friend? The wolf stopped. The doctor tightened her grip and tried to yank her forward but Crescent slipped her hand out of the doctor's grasp.
"Come with me subject 152!" said Dr. Jones
"No!"
"Come to the test chamber now!"
"I don't know who you are but you're not Dr. Jones! She is dead and you look like her." She was beginning to feel sad but she held it in.
"Of course I'm Dr. Jones."
"Then what's my name? The name I created!"
There was a pause.
"Krystal."
The wolf started running. She didn't know where she would go; this world is small. The imposter was hot on her trail. Crescent knocked over a kart with test tubes and other fragile lab equipment. But the imposter just jumped over it. She was getting closer to her. The wolf quickly slammed a door in her face and took off. Then she knew where to go, to the office right in front of her room. More doctors were chasing after her. Some of them were holding tranquilizer guns. Crescent took a right turn and two doctors came out of two doors. Right next to her was a fire extinguisher behind glass. She broke the glass and wielded the fire extinguisher as a weapon. She threw it at the head of the doctor on the right, and that doctor accidentally fired a shot on the other one before he fainted.
She took the tranquilizer gun from the unconscious doctor and took off. Crescent fired three shots at the crowd of doctors chasing her and only hit one. She saw the boss's office and dropped the gun. The wolf opened the door and locked it.
"What kind of sick prank is this?" She asked.
"Who is that imposter and where is Caroline!"
"So you're the one the entire building is looking for?" asked the man.
"That's not important! What did you do with her!" asked Crescent.
The man stood up and walked over to her.
"I didn't do anything, now can you tell me why you're running around with half the building chasing you?" he asked.
"Because Dr. Jones is an imposter! I heard the whole thing." She said.
The man sighed.
"Yes, I fired her but, she betrayed my trust. So I had no choice." he said.
"So you killed her?" she screamed. She hit him repeatedly but her punches were weak. She broke down sobbing on the floor.
"The woman you saw was a clone we made so you wouldn't find out but you did." The man said.
There was a knock on the door and he opened it.
"Sir, subject 152 is on the loose and attacked some of the staff." said a doctor.
"Yes, I know. She's in here and she knows about what happened." he said.
Crescent was lying on the floor and opened her eyes. She saw a blood stain right in front of her eyes. She was beginning to shiver with fear. She was curling up into a ball with her eyes wide open and her hands over her head. Its one thing to hear what happened; it was another thing entirely to experience this! Before the memory ended; she heard one last thing.
"I advise we remove what happened today from her memory…" The man said.
