I should be trying to go to sleep, but I just had an idea. It takes priority, obviously.
Seven: Cartoons Fix Everything
It did not take long for Agent Megaphone to get out of the training program. She spent a whole lot of time figuring out how to beat everything thrown at her. Within one week, she had complete control over her upgrades, had beaten Matilda with a coffee mug, could hide from the robot for eight and a half minutes, and could lie to Ruby flawlessly. It was evident that she was very, very nerdy. She learnt more about her teammates, and they learnt more about her. For example: She was extremely stubborn and ridiculously competitive. If she set her mind to something, it was happening. There were no exceptions. Jackson bet her five dollars that she couldn't hang upside down from the ceiling fan for half an hour. Half an hour she would never get back later, he handed over the money. She and Matilda actually had a lot in common, but it still took the once-undercover-cheerleader a while to warm up to her.
It happened after the training was finished. Agent Megaphone was going on the very next mission that occurred. The following Saturday, the clock turned to the ten am and a herd of wild brothers stampeded through the Choi house. At exactly ten-oh-five, the individual favourite programs of every sibling were on. They included: The Most Extreme Things You CanDoWithA (blank), Why Every Kid Needs A Flamethrower, The Adventures Of The Crazy Kid, and Junior Worldwide Wrestling Champ. Matilda was already sitting on the couch, remote in one hand. There would be no missing her show. She stared her brothers down, and before she knew what was happening, was wrestling them over the remote. Macy ran downstairs, her pigtails bouncing behind her.
"I wanna watch my cartoon!"
The girl joined in the mad tangle, and emerged victorious.
"MINE!"
She flipped a few buttons, and the TV started playing The Magnificent and the Victorious, a seriously cool cartoon about a girl and her friends in the aftermath of a monster apocalypse. Matilda's brothers disbanded, muttering angrily, but Matilda stayed and watched. It was actually good, and the main character, Tammy Prince, put a hulking beast in a head lock halfway through, making up Matilda's mind that it was almost as good as the Junior Worldwide Wrestling Champ was, although nothing could ever be better. As the credits rolled, they had their first proper conversation, mostly about the show. The talked more and more, finding a lot of common ground. By the time Monday rolled around, the two were best friends, something that completely freaked out their teammates, Agent Brand, the lunch lady, all the scientists, and a random stray cat that had somehow made it in. Well, the cat might not be for the same reason as all the others, but a large number of people were still shocked.
Is anyone there? If there is, I want to know what you think! I really enjoy writing this, but I just can't seem to get motivated enough if no-one reads it.
