*I do not own anything to "Meet the Robinsons"*

Just as I noticed I did not have my katana with me, Karena sprang toward me. I had no choice but to dodge her moves. My only weapons were my hands since I left everything except my phone either at the school or at home. Wait...the phone.

I back-flipped several feet away from Karr as I took out my phone to call my dad. Unfortunately, Karena was a fast runner and caught up to me as I ran away from the University.

"This is Cornelius Robinson speaking. How can I help you?"

"Dad, it's me, Wilbur! I'm in trouble!"

"Wilbur, you're at school. What are you doing on the phone during school hours?!"

"There's no time, Dad!" I exclaimed angrily as I continued to run. "I'm at Todayland University and under attack!"

"You're what?!"

"Karr's attacking me. She-"

I gasped as my infected girlfriend made a kick, which did hit the hand my phone was in, and the phone flew out of my hand. She almost bit me, but I barely dodged her teeth. I continued to make a run, but my intention was not to go back to the high school; I needed to get to my mom and Carl back home. It was really hard to do, however, with Karena at my back. This was one of the few times when I wished she wasn't trained in karate.

With every block I ran, Karena continued to catch up to me. She was getting more and more aggressive with my every move to run away from her, to my horror.

"You can't run away from us forever, Wilbur," Karena yelled in her half-normal half-demonic voice.

"I've been trained in karate my whole life," I said with anger in my voice. "You can't win."

"You may be right in what you say. But the hatchling will feed on us all, and Todayland will be doomed to be extinct." My anger turned to shock as I stopped in my tracks at the bridge.

"What do you mean by extinct?" I asked as Karena chuckled evilly.

"This was the plan all along, Wilbur. Because those blasted Turtles killed our society, we will get our revenge. We figured that we would feed on them first, but that would make our mission too easy. By coming here to Todayland, we thought that if we could distract Karena Edwards and Wilbur Robinson into joining our society, the Turtles would try to come to their rescue, and we would have our revenge!"

"What? No, that's not possible!" I exclaimed with fear.

"Oh yes, Wilbur. And guess what? You're next!"

Karena lunged forward to try to bite me when I heard a laser shot nearby. I swirled around, dodging both Karr's bite and the laser while the latter was caught off guard.

"This isn't over, Wilbur." I saw Karena try to run away followed by laser shots from the robot sentries.

"Karena, no!"

I sighed as I hung my head down in defeat. I gasped as I felt a really tight hug from my dad, and I returned it.

"When I heard the phone drop, I figured you were in more trouble than I thought," my dad explained. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Dad. I wish I could say the same about Karena though."

"Speaking of which, what in the world were you doing at Todayland University when it is closed?" I really hated it when my dad was angry.

"I received a call from Karr about her finding a clue at the University," I explained, feeling a little bit of guilt inside. "But instead of telling me to go after school, she told me to come in ten minutes. So I signed out of the office and drove to the University. The door was open, and so I went to the room Karr went to. That door was knocked down, and I found Karena in her parasitica form."

"Parasitica? You don't mean-"

"Yes, Dad. Karena got bitten." I sighed in defeat. "What are we gonna do? I'm so worried about what's going to happen to her, and we have to call Donnie-"

"Whoa, Wilbur. Calm down." My dad placed a hand on my shoulder. "After you explain everything to me and Carl at home, I'm going to take you back to school. I'll have a present waiting for you after school."

"Dad, why are you thinking about presents at a time like this when everyone in Todayland could possible go extinct?!"

"It's not-wait a minute, did you say extinct?"

"And their intention was to get the Turtles to come to Todayland so that the wasps and their victims would finish them off once and for all."

I finished explaining the situation to my dad and to Carl. Carl had his golden hand on his chin while my dad had his head down in concentration.

"This is very grave news," my dad replied. "Yes, we will need to call Dr. Hamato. Maybe he can find a cure for all the victims infected...the ones who are alive, that is."

"We should also contact Mr. Edwards," Carl chimed in. "He is Karena's father. Maybe he can help us find a cure for her at least...like a DNA sample."

"We're going to have to wait for two weeks for that," my dad said.

"Why not now?" I asked.

"Because I'm busy, and you have school."

"Uh, Dad, I'll be on Christmas break soon."

"Come on, let's go."

I sat in my car reflecting on what had happened today. I had just heard on the news that Karena was now missing...one of the eleven to go missing today. I thought about our conversation this morning before she took off to the University, and then a conversation from a few months ago came back to mind.

My dad specifically said that no student of Todayland University is to investigate the disappearances.

I can't help it.

Of course, I had known Karena to be headstrong and very caring at heart, but to finally disobey orders from my dad, who is very protective of Todayland, which he created? I started to wonder if she was bitten before taking off to the University. But she acted normal before.

I started my car and took off for home, not looking forward to what my dad was going to say. He wasn't too happy with me leaving the high school to go to the University, which was strictly forbidden to go into right now because so many students and professors went missing. In my heart, I had hoped Karena would be cured.

I thought about what the victims were afraid of; they seemed to run away when there was a light in the room or when there were lasers. I wondered if they were afraid of a charge from my glove, but I wasn't sure of it yet. Now not only was my focus to cure all of the victims, but my main focus turned to curing my girlfriend. I know for a fact that I cannot live my life without her by my side; without her, I would still be lying to my parents and blaming everything on Carl. I would be failing my classes, especially my AP classes, instead of having A's. I wouldn't be the color guard captain I was right now. I'd be travelling in time everyday instead of staying home and focusing on schoolwork.

I parked my car in the garage and greeted my dad at the door. I could tell my dad wasn't happy; his face looked pretty stern.

"Wilbur, for disobeying my orders and going to the University without permission, you're grounded for two weeks."

"What?!" I asked in disbelief. "But Karr-"

"You are to stay out of every investigation at Todayland University and Todayland High School from now on," my dad said sternly. "Is that clear, young man?" I felt tears forming in my eyes and anger creeping toward my throat.

"AAARGH!" I yelled and ran out the door into the living room and into my room. I sat on one of my cushion chairs, placed my hands on my eyes, and I let the tears come out. I could not believe what was happening, and I continued to let the tears fall until I fell asleep.
