Chapter 7: Pick-up
School had ended, Minion raced home and changed, prepared for his grand exist at the dance. Or so he thought, it won't be so wonderful after all.
************
A dark weary figure stood outside the gym, concealed by hatred and one maddening thought.
*********
Minion packed up all of his most valuable items into one back-pack, within it held an amulet he had never worn longer then for one minute, clothing, and a piece of material he had had as long as he could remember. Also there was a small amount of candy, witch he always liked to have on hand.
He put on this stuffed backpack and left his house, heading straight for school. Once he had been within site of the school Erica ran up to him, and hugged him.
"You came!" Said Erica, then she changed her mood immediately, "You're late!" She swatted Minion across the face.
"Owe… Yea sorry, I'll try not to be late ever again."
They walked inside the decorated and dimmed gym holding hands.
As the entered they showed their tickets and proceeded on.
***************
"Mmmmiiinnniiionnnn………" groaned the old man; his mere voice rotted the tree in front of him.
***************
Erica and Minion were dancing slowly to a nice song that they requested.
"Hey, let's get a lot of pictures taken Gary!" Erica said out of nowhere.
"Shea…lets."
They walked up the picture both.
"What are the names of you two lovely children?" said pictures volunteer.
"Gary and Erica, the great," Minion proclaimed proudly, as a joke.
Erica made a small giggle and a soft hit on the arm as she said, "Just Erica and Gary would be great."
"Okay, Ill put your name in first, Erica," said the volunteer to the young couple.
Several Pictures were taken, Minion took all he could and shoved them into his backpack. He thought to himself he would spend several nights sleeping next to those pictures.
"Could I get a camera too?" Minion said.
"Sure," said the nice lady as she handed Minion a camera, free of charge.
"Thank you very much fair lady." Minion said joking again, as he took a picture of Erica talking to her friends. "I want to get pictures of her in her natural habitat as well as in captive." He said again to the lady. The rest of the night he took many pictures of him and her together.

Billy hopped into his very large spacecraft. Currently he was in his humanoid for so all the extra wires could connect to his body. A hireling walked into his control pod.
"Sir." The hireling reported, "We have, in fact, located the enemy we were warned about just outside of the building the target is in."
"Prepare to knock down the gym walls without hurting anyone and make a quick abduction before anything happens, hopeful we'll beat this…thing to the target." Billy said praying as he entered Earth's air systems.
His mercenaries braced for a smooth entrance as the prepared the abduction.
********
A crippled, decaying man walked past two dead fresh corpses he had killed, the ticket people.
***********
Minion walked over the side of the wall as he heard what seemed to be the loudest, lowest aircraft ever herd.
***********
Billy and his crew hovered gently above the gym as they removed the ceiling with the tractor beam as, people ran below out of the building. There, within all the confusion stood the target, Minion.
