Chapter 6: The Plan
Meanwhile, back at Diane's Home for Orphaned Girls, the girls started doing their evening prayers.
"...And bless that we have a good night's sleep." Karin concluded for her prayer.
"Bless that no bugs crawl into our ears and in our skulls," Sally giggled mischievously.
"Thanks for the lovely image, Sally." Karin sarcastically remarked.
"And please bless that we may find a new family soon, and the mommy and daddy will be nice. And have pet unicorns. Amen." Sweetie Belle prayed as she snuggled her plushie of a purple dragon before going to sleep.
After returning home and asking Haymitch to create some new equipment, Sheldon began plotting to try to invade Mandark's house and reclaim the Shrink Ray. First, the villain created a dummy robot dog that doubled as one-way binoculars. As he passed by Mandark's house, Sheldon activated the binocular function as he saw Mandark was controlling a motion-sensing game. However, the young fiend was too keen on this, and with the press of a keyboard button, a cannon vaporized Sheldon's gadget.
This did not deter Sheldon though. He kept going through with more physical attempts, only to be foiled each time by Mandark's advanced security system.
"Pathetic fool! When will you realize that I am prepared for every action you take. I! AM! THE SUPERIOR! GENIUS!" Mandark gloated as he blew away Sheldon for the fifteenth time that day, leaving him in a crater left by Mandark's cannon guns. As Sheldon came to, he saw three young girls approach Mandark's house to sell their cookies.
"Good luck, little girls. Getting in there's all but impossible, and I've thought of at least everything to do so." Sheldon muttered. As the girls rang Mandark's doorbell, a cannon instantly was aimed at the small trio.
"Whoa," Sally said stupefied of their customer's welcome.
"Er, hi there! We're here to sell for Diane's Home for Orphaned Girls..." Karin began to greet.
"Not interested! Now hit the road!" Mandark interrupted in a sour tone, clearly not wanting to be disturbed.
"Please? We're selling cookies so we can have a better future." Sweetie Belle pleaded, giving a saddened tone as her face squeaked into a teary-eyed frown.
"Do you have Coco-Nutties?" Mandark asked, his interest beginning to peak.
"Yes." Karin answered, and then the group was finally let inside. It was at that moment Sheldon had an idea. If he could use the girls as a diversion, he'd get away with the shrink ray with no problems.
"Fascinating." Sheldon mused to himself before calling back to his house for Haymitch. "Haymitch, I need you to make a dozen tiny robots for me that are disguised as cookies."
"What was that, sweetheart?" Haymitch asked, clearly sounding drunk on the other end of the phone.
"Cookie robots!" Sheldon clarified.
"Snooki robots? Never you knew liked Jersey Shore, Sheldon!" Haymitch laughed, mishearing Sheldon's request.
"No, cook- oh, forget it. I'm coming back first, then I need to stop somewhere else." Sheldon said, as he rubbed his hands together with a feeling of incoming triumph in mind, barely noticing a young boy walking up to him and peering down to him.
"Sir? You're not getting a cold are you?"
"No," Sheldon answered, his gaze not even shifting towards the child. "What you see is someone trembling with excitement." The boy then just walked away without another word.
Back at Sheldon's lab, he went to check on Haymitch's progress, as the Minions were going about their business.
"Sheldon, you're here. I wanted to show you what I've been working on." First, the mad scientist handed one minion a beaker full of a light blue liquid, as the tiny creature began to start floating in the air. "We've been working on this one for a while; it's an anti-gravity serum."
The Minion however began to float out through a window, as it screamed for help. "Stupa! Stupa!"
"I knew I should've closed that." Haymitch realized as the Minion disappeared out of sight. "I'm sure he's fine."
"Do the effects wear off?"
"So far, no. No they don't. Now what do you want to talk to me about, Sheldon?" Haymitch asked.
"You can start calling me Papa Cooper now, because I'm going to be a father!" Sheldon exclaimed in giddiness.
"I didn't know you were seeing someone." Haymitch replied.
"It's not like that. It's more like, adopting a child, or three."
"You're not." Haymitch said in disbelief.
"Oh, but I am!" Sheldon answered. "Wait til Hammer gets a load of what I've got planned!"
