Chapter 10
Making Amends
All the rejected experiments were in the ship, seeming proud of their actions as they talked to each other. Moody was having a hard time looking for 625, who was nowhere in sight.
'' Nosey, have you seen 625 anywhere?'', Moody asked.
'' Last time I saw him he was walking into the bedroom'', Nosey answered.
'' Thanks.''
Moody walked to the bedroom but the door was locked. She knocked on the door,'' 625, are you in there?''
She heard a familiar voice from inside the bedroom,'' 625 isn't here at the moment. Please leave a message after the beep. Beep.''
'' 625, unlock this door.''
'' No, go away.''
Moody sighed,'' Computer open the door.''
'' Door opening.''
Moody entered the room to find 625 in his bed with his blanket over his body, and covering his head, with only his arm sticking out and hanging over the bed. Moody sighed.
'' 625? Come on out from under there.''
'' No.''
'' Come on. I've got an idea.''
'' No.''
'' It's a good one.''
'' ... Go away!''
'' Don't make me take your blanket away.''
'' I don't care.''
Moody pulled the blanket over 625's body. He was laying down on his belly with his pillow covering his face. She rolled her eyeballs.
'' Let me see you.''
'' No.''
'' Are you okay?''
'' N- I mean yes.''
'' Don't make me lift you up.''
'' Don't care.''
'' Get out of bed.''
'' No.''
'' Just let me see you. I know you feel bad.''
'' No I don't.''
'' That means you do feel bad.''
625 lifted his head, with an angry expression on his face before setting his head back down on the pillow, in silence.
'' That doesn't prove that you feel happy.''
'' Shut up!''
Moody got angry, even though she knows when he's angry he'd just be completely rude. She pulled the pillow from 625, who just rested his head on the bed.
'' I've got a sandwich.''
'' I'm not hungry.''
'' That's something you could never deny.''
'' Go away.''
'' Wanna talk?''
'' No.''
'' I bet you feel bad about being rejected right.''
'' No. I've been rejected lots of times so I'm used to it.''
'' No you are still not used to it.''
'' Yes I am.''
'' Then why are you lying here?''
'' I'm tired.''
Moody was getting angry,'' Fibber, can you come up here please?''
Fibber heard his name so he walked into the bedroom.
'' Sit over here'', Moody said, pulling in a chair for Fibber to sit in.
'' Great, you're using Fibber against me'', 625 said.
'' Yep. 625, are you sad?''
'' No.''
Fibber beeped.
''... Yes.''
'' Anything else you'd like to share?''
'' No.''
Fibber beeped.
'' ... Yes.''
'' What is it then? What are you feeling?''
'' Ashamed of myself of course.''
No beeping from Fibber.
'' We're getting somewhere, are you still used to being rejected.''
'' No.''
No beeping.
'' Why don't you come out of the bedroom?''
'' ... mmmmmffg.''
'' What?''
'' ... mmmmffffggg.''
'' What?''
''... I don't wanna.''
'' I don't think that's what you were muttering.''
'' I was.''
No beeping.
'' Then if you don't want to, why don't you show yourself, unless you're crying.''
'' I'm not crying.''
No beeping.
'' Then you're trying to hold all of your pain inside.''
'' No.''
Fibber beeped.
'' Shut up, Fib.''
'' Let me see you.''
625 hopped out of his bed, with his head hung low in shame.
'' Ooh, I think you want to make up for your actions.''
'' Yes.''
'' We could go over there and set things straight with Lilo. She may give you a second chance.''
'' May?''
'' She'll give you a second chance then. Come on.''
'' She hates me.''
'' No she doesn't.''
'' I don't wanna.''
'' I'll go with you.''
''... you win, but we can't go just like that past our cousins, they may stop us.''
'' Fibber won't tell. He can't talk.''
'' Fine, but we can't go downstairs.''
'' Where's a window in this floor?''
'' Here.''
Moody opened the window and slipped through outside,'' 625 come on.''
'' I'm not going to like this'', 625 sighed.
He was walking towards the window, but unnoticed he was leaving behind a trail of golden colored hairs on the floor. (Remember he was shedding.)
He slipped outside through the window, hoping he could make amends with Lilo,'' Moods, I'm not gonna like this.''
Moody sighed,'' Yes... I know.''
