Kim had called Monique and invited her over to spend the night. Monique had
gladly consented, saying her parents had been acting weirder than normal.
Kim and Ron filled Monique in on the news, and she took it relatively well- by relatively I mean screaming and crying-, and accepted the fact that her parents weren't coming back.
Kim had locked her door, and refused to let her parents in, knowing that if they did, it could very well be their last night to live.
They munched on popcorn, nachos, and sodas while they watched TV and Kim surfed the Net, trying to find some way to stop the pods.
Jim and Tim were watching Tom and Jerry on the Cartoon Network, and Monique was reading a Harlequinn romance novel while Ron ate and talked absent- mindedly to himself, while Rufus-ate.
Suddenly, Monique sat up and sniffed the air and smiled dreamily. "Kim, is that a new perfume?" "What are you talking about?" Kim asked, eyes glued to the computer. "That heavenly scent...it smells really good. Let me guess the name...Heaven on Earth, am I right?"
"That's no perfume!" Ron cried in alarm, perhaps the first to realize it. "It's the flowers!"
Kim leaped up in alarm, but already her senses were deadening to the fragrance of the blossoms. "Where are they?" she cried desperately.
"Found 'em!" Jim and Tim cried, pulling flowers out from underneath the door. "Quick! Destroy the flowers!" Kim cried. Rufus ran out of Ron's pocket, and ripped the flower petals apart, and then threw them out the window.
But Monique had fallen asleep, being the closest to the door. A steady pulse began to fill the room.
"It's a pod!" Kim shouted. "But where?"
"Found it, KP!" Ron shouted, opening her closet door to reveal a pod lying on her shoes. "Kill it, fast!" Kim screamed.
Ron looked around for something to smush it with, then shrugged, and fell on top of the pod. Blood and pod pieces exploded in Kim's closet. Ron clambered up in fright at seeing Monique's pod, staring up blankly, not fully formed to be functional.
Monique slowly woke up, and asked, "What happened?" She gasped when she saw the mess in Kim's closet. "Oh, no!" she gasped. "Yeah. You were almost a pod," Ron said.
"No, not that!" Monique cried. "Look at that beautiful pink blouse-ruined!"
"It's too dangerous," Kim said. "I know a place where no pods can be planted-and I hate to do this, but...it's safer than here, anyway. Guys-we're heading to Drakkan's lair."
