Despicable Me 2
(Despicable Me Fan Fiction)
Chapter 6
The next morning Margo's alarm clock went off and it played the song Bam by Miranda Cosgrove. Margo shut off her alarm and started getting ready for her first day of middle school; she was done within twenty minutes being that her outfit was laid out for her the night before. Her outfit consisted of a black t-shirt with blue jeans and her brown jacket she always wears; she also had on her pink high tops. Her hair was still straight and she wore it half up and half down.
Margo grabbed her blue book bag with her books she would need for the day and put on her shoulder, placed her cell phone in her bag and headed straight downstairs into the kitchen. Edith and Agnes followed right behind her, and they walked into the kitchen to see that Gru and Marlena were making breakfast for them. It consisted of waffles, eggs and bacon.
Edith was wearing a pink t-shirt with blue jeans and a blue jeans jacket, and she'd also wore her pink hat. Agnes was wearing an overall dress that looked similar to her blue jumper.
"Good morning, girls?" Gru greeted them as they sat at the table.
"Morning, dad? Morning, Grandma?" The girls responded at once.
"Good morning, girls?" Marlena responded with a smile as she gave the girls each a plate of food and a cup of V8 Fusion Juice.
Agnes was glad that they were only allowed to drink it one time a day, which was for breakfast. She thought it tasted okay, but she had to be in the mood for it; she wasn't the type to drink cup after cup of it.
"Are you girls excited about your first day of school?" Marlena asked them.
"Yeah, thrilled." Edith responded sarcastically as a joke.
"Edith, mind your grandmother." Gru played along.
The girls ate their breakfast and drank their juice just in time to go to the bus stop and wait for their car pulls. Margo was catching the bus while Edith got a car pull, and it left little Agnes to get a raid from a friend of hers.
"Alright, have a good day, girls." Gru said to them as they walked out the door.
When Margo got to the bus stop she saw Shawn, Connie, Danielle, Hannah, Avril, Erin and Vicky waiting.
"Hi, Margo?" Connie greeted her.
"Hi, Connie?" Margo responded back.
"Hi, Margo?" Shawn greeted her with a smile.
"Hi, Shawn?" Margo responded back with a smile as she tried to hide the fact that she was blushing a little bit.
"Margo, sit with me during chorus." Avril said to her with a smile.
"Okay, save me a seat when you get there." Margo responded back with a smile.
"I will; oh, great party last night by the way." Avril made a comment on their huge Labor Day celebration the night before. "Your family should have parties like that a little more often."
The bus pulled up and they got on and grabbed their seats. Margo was left sitting by Shawn while everyone else sat together.
"Your dad seems really cool." Shawn commented with a smile.
"Yeah, he is." Margo started to blush a little bit without Shawn noticing anything.
"What were your parents like before you ended up in the orphanage?" Shawn had asked her.
"They were really nice people, the best parents in the world in my book." Margo answered. "They loved me and my sisters very much from the moment each of us were born."
"Can I ask what happened?" Shawn hoped that it was okay for him to touch base on that being that Margo was probably still grieving from the lost of her parents.
"It was snowing during Christmas vacation and we went out and played all day in the snow; we took pictures and had so much fun." Margo began to explain everything in detail. "But then there was an avalanche; we rushed into the house the second we heard it coming, and my parents were able to get us inside. By the time they got inside, it was too late, they got caught in it and it took their lives."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Shawn felt bad for her.
"Its okay, my sisters and I still have pictures of them to look at for memories." Margo assured him.
"So your birthday's tomorrow." Shawn decided to change the subject when he noticed Margo started to feel a little upset.
"Yeah, my twelfth birthday; although I'm sure what I want to do, and it's only a few days away." Margo said with a smile.
"I'm sure your family's going to have something planned for you." Shawn assured her of that with high hopes.
Margo knew that Shawn had high hopes for her and her sisters. He'd known them before they got adopted by Grew, and he would pray for them that they would get adopted sooner or later each and every single day while they were at the orphanage. She knew that he was unaware of the fact that she had a crush on him, and she often told herself there's no way a boy like him would even go for an orphan like her.
The bus pulled up at Larson Middle School and led the students off, and they went inside the school building. Margo and Shawn walked together and continued their own conversation they were having on the bus.
"Are you thinking about going out anything this year?" Shawn asked her.
"I've been thinking about it." Margo responded with a smile. "But I might start off with something small though instead of going for something big and out there; like some sort of talent show, the school plays might be a little out of my range for a beginner." She thought about how she couldn't really participate in much while being an orphan. Even if she did get to do recitals with her sisters it was very different from doing school plays.
Shawn understood where Margo was coming from and what she meant. He would do the same thing too if he was in her previous situation.
QQQQQ
At home Gru went was cleaning up the breakfast dishes with a little help from the minions. Marlena walked into the kitchen with three Kmart bags and a Target bad in her hands.
"I'm back." Marlena placed the bags on the table.
"Hi, mom? How was your shopping trip?" Gru asked putting the last of the dishes away.
The minions were sweeping, whipping down the table and counter tops and taking out the trash.
"It was good as always, and I found what I needed." Marlena unloaded the bags to put them on the table. "I found some more photo albums for scrap booking pictures, I got frames for the girls school photos when it comes around so we could place them the wall; and I also got a couple of decorations for Margo's surprise birthday party, even thought we haven't decided on the theme yet it's all pop princess things."
"Surprise party for Margo?" Jerry asked.
"Surprise party for Margo." Dave responded.
"Oh, that's alright." Gru walked over to see the decorations as Marlena placed it on the table.
"I got pink, blue and purple streamers, balloons, paper plates and cups. I got blue things for the boys knowing that they're not going to stand for purple and pink." Marlena pointed out.
"Good idea, I was just thinking about making things neutral for parties since there are going to be both boys and girls there as well as adults." Gru agreed with Marlena and thought it would help them out in the long run. "In fact, I should do that for all of the girls' parties."
"Yes, and Margo's going to love the gift that I got her; I just picked it up today as soon as the girls left for school." Marlena commented with a smile.
Dr. Nefario walked into the kitchen.
"Gru, do you mind if I have a quick word with you?" Dr. Nefario asked him. "Oh, and Alice is here. She has some information on Vector."
"Oh, excuse me, mom." Gru followed Dr. Nefario down to the lab.
The minions were running around getting things together in the lab and cleaning a few of the materials. Gru was glad that none of them were being used for an experiment to test something by Dr. Nefario.
They walked over to the table that Alice was sitting at with Glitch. Alice had a big folder in her hand.
"Good morning, Gru?" Alice greeted him.
"Good morning, Alice? Good morning, Glitch?" Gru responded back.
"Good morning, Gru?" Glitch responded back.
"So what's the word so far?" Gru asked.
He and Dr, Nefario took their seats across from Alice and Glitch.
"So far all I found out about Vector was that he has an evil parent who supports the criminals." Alice began to say explained. "And it's his father."
"And he supports evil?" Dr. Nefario responded.
"Financially, I'm afraid. He gives them money to go forth with their plans of evil to comment crime." Alice went on.
"Financially, you said?" Gru tried to make a connection with that although his memory of that was a little foggy.
"Yes, that's correct." Alice opened the folder and pulled out a piece of paper with the front facing her. "Do you think you could identify Mr. Perkins?" She showed him the picture.
Looking at the picture Gru was finally able to piece things together.
"Mr. Perkins? He's the owner of the bank of evil." Gru explained to them. "I had no idea Vector was his son."
"You know of Mr. Perkins?" Alice asked him.
"Yes, he lends us money for screams back then until he deliberately decided not to fund us anymore." Gru explained to her.
"Was that the last time you've spoken with him since then?" Alice asked.
"Yes, and I didn't speak to him anymore after that." Gru assured her.
"Do you think you could tell us where the bank of evil is, Gru?" Glitch asked.
Gru told them where the bank was and they took down the address and name of the streets.
"How do people get in?" Alice asked.
"They have a lazier scanner that scans your eye-but you have to be a member in order to get in there. If you're not then they won't let you in." Gru explained to them.
"I could send one of my mini robots to find out what's going on in there; I was planning on doing that anyway." Dr. Nefario suggested.
"That could actually work; but we need to gain access to Vector's file and find out more about Julian. Do you think you'll be able to find out if they're planning anything so we could stop them?" Alice suggested.
"That I can do." Dr. Nefario agreed to that.
"Gru! Gru!" Tim called out.
Gru turned around to see Tim with Dave right behind him crying his eyes out.
"What's going on? What happened?" Gru asked out of concern.
Tim pointed to Jim who had a tiny hammer in his hand.
"What…." Jim tried to make it seem as if he didn't do anything.
"Jim hit him." Tim explained.
"I'll handle it." Dr. Nefario took it from there leaving Gru to finish up the rest of the meeting.
He watched as Dr. Nefario walked away with the minions to assist the situation.
"Sorry about all of that." Gru apologized.
"It's alright; we deal with that with our kids here and there." Alice said.
Glitch smiled in agreement.
"So you have everything you need from here?" Glitch asked him.
"Yes, I think so for now." Gru responded. "Don't worry; I'm going to keep a close eye on Vector so I'll be ready for whatever he might have planned on his sleeve."
"Good, I think we're good here. Just let us know if you need anything else that we can help you guys with." Alice said.
"Will do." Gru responded.
The meeting ended there with Alice and Glitch walking out and heading straight out the door.
"So did it go?" Dr. Nefario walked over to Gru.
"Pretty much the same as always." Gru answered.
Gru tried to figure out the similarities between Mr. Perkins and Vector, and then it hit him. The line that he heard both of them say one time each to him: first do this, and then we'll talk. It was then that he asked himself how he missed that after all this time when he should've seen it from the beginning.
"I'll do some extra research on that if you want me to." Dr. Nefario offered.
"Yeah, please do that and let me know what you find out." Gru said as he left and went back upstairs. "And if you can, keep an eye on the minions and make sure they stay out of trouble."
"Will do." Dr. Nefario got straight to work right then and there.
Just then the minions Jim was chasing Dave around, and Tim was trying to stop him before any of them got hurt. Dr. Nefario saw them and was outraged by what was going on.
"Jim, settle down." Dr. Nefario went after them to help Tim stop Jim from whatever he was going to do.
QQQQQ
School was almost over with an hour and a half left.
Margo was sitting with Avril in chorus like she promised she would. Connie sat on Margo's right hand side since Avril was already sitting on the left. Shawn was sitting on the top row with the boys, and he waved to Margo; Margo waved back to him with a smile.
Connie wasn't bothered by any of what was going on because she already knew that people would fall in love one day regardless of who they fall in love with.
The chorus class was filled with students from grades six through eight because it was an elective class.
Ramona walked into the room just as the bell rung for class to begin for them.
"Good afternoon, class? I'm Mrs. Parker, and I will be your chorus teacher for the school year." Mrs. Parker introduced herself. "And this is Mrs. Linda; she will be playing the piano for us."
Mrs. Linda sat at the piano dressed in a purple dress with short sleeves that came three inches below the keens with purple heels. She had black skin with black hair and hazel eyes.
"Good afternoon, kids?" Mrs. Linda introduced herself.
"Now, I like to begin by having you all stand up and sing the National Anthem for me to see if everyone's in their right vocal section." Mrs. Parker said with a smile. "And if there's anyone I need to help I will call you up and let you sing part of a song that you know. If you have the song on your iPhone or cell phone you're more than welcome to go ahead and play it while you sing; and what that's going to do is help me find out which vocal section you really belong in."
Everyone stood up and Mrs. Linda played the piano for them as they sang the song from start to finish two times in a row. After hearing them sing she allowed them to take their seats.
"Alright, Kylie and Margo, I would like to hear you two sing individually." Mrs. Parker called on them. "Kylie, you're going to sing first."
Margo and Kylie walked up to the piano. Kylie had white skin, long blond hair and blue eyes; she was dressed in a pair of blue jeans, a two-top shirt with short sleeves and a new pair of blue flats. She hated Margo's guts, and Margo didn't know what she did to make Kylie hate her so much. Kylie was what people would consider to be one of the popular kids in school that no one likes.
"Kylie, what song are you going to sing for us?" Mrs. Parker asked her.
"Party in the USA by Mylie Cyrus." Kylie pulled the song up on her iPhone and handed to Mrs. Parker.
Mrs. Parker put it on the docking station and turned it on. As it played Kylie sung along to it for the first verse when she stopped, and Mrs. Parker handed Kylie her phone back.
"Kylie, I think you belong in the alto one section." Mrs. Parker said to her.
Kylie took a seat in the alto one section where she was told.
"Margo, you're up next sweetie." Mrs. Parker said as Margo handed her phone to her to place on the docking station.
The song Me, Myself and Time by Demi Lovato started to play, and Margo sang along to it. She sang the whole song from start to finish without any problems. When she was done Mrs. Parker handed her phone back as people clapped for her showing that they all loved her voice.
That didn't sit well with Kylie.
"Margo, you in between soprano two and alto one, so you could stay seated with Avril and Connie." Mrs. Parker told her.
Margo took her seat where she was in the first place.
"Alright, our first order of business is to go forth with planning our annual chorus talent show. Everyone can sign up for it, no additions required; but I do want to hear the song you're planning to sing to see if I need to find you a song that's more suitable to you that matches your voice." Mrs. Parker explained to them. "Any questions?" She asked the class.
No one raised her hands so she continued.
"Alright, and being that this is all the students' that I have in here I'm going to get the list started right now. I want you all to raise your hand so I could write your name on the paper." Mrs. Parker explained to them.
Margo, Connie, Avril, Shawn and a couple of other people had their hands up for their names to be added to the list. And so did Kylie. After getting all of the names down Mrs. Parker got started with hearing all of the students' who were going to participate in the show.
She went down the list and had to help a couple of people along the way, but they were getting done quicker than planned.
"Kylie, your up." Mrs. Parker called on her.
Kylie too her spot in front of the classroom and prepared herself.
"What song are you going to sing for us, Kylie?" Mrs. Parker asked her.
"Freak the Freak Out by Victoria Justice." Kylie responded.
"Alright, go for it." Mrs. Parker said to her.
Kylie sang the song from start to finish and Mrs. Parker let her keep the song and decided to let her sing it in the show.
"Thank you, Kylie, you could be seated." Mrs. Parker said to her.
Kylie took her seat and swung her hair in Margo's face.
"Margo, you're up." Mrs. Parker called to her.
Margo got up and took her spot in front of the class.
"What song are you going to sing for us, Margo?" Mrs. Parker asked her.
"Stay My Baby by Miranda Cosgrove." Margo responded.
"Alright, let's here it." Mrs. Parker was prepared with her pencil and paper.
Margo sang the song, but Mrs. Parker stopped her at the end of the first verse.
"Margo, do you think you could sing Raining Sunshine by Miranda Cosgrove?" Mrs. Parker asked her.
Margo sang that song from start to finish, and Mrs. Parker decided to let her sing that song instead.
"Alright, class, that's everyone who wants to be in the show. I have all the songs on a play list titled Chorus Fall Talent Show to be put on my iPod." Mrs. Parker said as she got up from her seat and went into her office just in time to hear the phone ring. She answered it quickly. "Hello, Larson Middle School? Ramona Parker speaking."
"Mrs. Parker, this is Mrs. Anderson, I'm Justin's teacher at Larson Pre-School." Mrs. Anderson answered.
"Hi, Mrs. Anderson, how can I help you?" Mrs. Parker asked her. She managed to type up the official list of participates for the talent show while holding a professional conversation.
"I was just calling to inform you that Justin is acting out during naptime, and my employees and I are having a hard time trying to get him to calm down." Mrs. Anderson explained to her.
Mrs. Parker started to get really upset when she heard about her son's behavior. "What is he doing?" She asked calmly to hide her anger.
"He's just being insubordinate and stubborn: he's rolling eyes whenever we tell him to stop, and he's playing around and rolling on his mat like it's no one's business." Mrs. Anderson explained to her.
"Oh, okay, my husband and I will deal with him as soon as we pick him up from school, and we'll straighten it out." Mrs. Parker promised her.
"Alright, we'll see you then." Mrs. Anderson said.
The phone conversation ended there, and Mrs. Parker was heated beyond her boiling point.
Outside the students were talking and hanging out.
"If this was going to be a competition, I would so win first prize." Kylie was being an airhead and debatably conceded.
"Not based on the response you got." Connie responded.
She and Margo giggled jokingly.
"No, really, I'm a shoe in to win this thing." Kylie went on. "I would take home the prize and all that goes with it. And Margo would just second place."
Margo ignored her knowing that it wouldn't be worth it if she fought back with her.
Mrs. Parker walked out of the printed list that laminated so that no one would be able to ruin it or change anything. She used a magnet and posted it to the dry erase board for the students' to look at.
"Alright, everyone, this is the list. I'll be in my office, Margo, you're in charge." Mrs. Parker walked back into her office and closed the door behind her.
The students got up and checked out the list to see what order they were placed in for the show.

"Aw, looks like I'm even more in demand than little Ms. Margo herself." Kylie was still going at it.
"Kylie, no one was bugging so you need to chill out." Margo said as she walked back to her seat.
The bell rung and everyone grabbed their book bags and went out to catch their bus before they got left behind. When Margo and the gang outside Kylie deliberately bump Margo out of the way and caused her to trip.
"See you later, Margo." Kylie said in a snobby tone of voice as she got in a car that was being driven by Miss Hattie.
She closed the door behind her as Miss Hattie drove off to the orphanage.
"Are you to let her do that to you?" Hannah asked Margo. She was referring to what Kylie did to her.
"I'm not even going to worry about her; especially when I don't even know what her problem is." Margo explained.
"She's been doing this to you for so long." Avril pointed out.
"She really needs to knock it off and grow up. For real." Connie commented with annoyance in her voice from what she'd saw happened to her best friend. "If you ask me, I think she's jealous of you because you got adopted before she did."
"You think so?" Margo asked her.
"I know so." Connie went on as they walked onto the bus. "That's all she's been complaining about from day one."
"That's promising." Avril commented.
Margo wasn't sure what to think about it being that she always told herself Kylie had no reason to be jealous of her for when she was just like her and all of the other students in their school.
"And I heard her talking about it to her two friends at lunch, and she didn't give them a break." Connie explained how she gained the information she was sharing with them.
"Thanks for sharing that with us." Margo said as they walked onto the bus and took their seats.
Little did they know they were being watched by Vector and Julian who were hiding behind the bushes in the school year. They took note of everything that they've heard from Margo and her friends.
Julian was also sure to record all of it as well with her camera so they could look back on it and turned it off as soon as the bus pulled off to drop the students off at their respected bus stop areas.
"This is perfect." Julian had an evil grin on her face. She placed the camera back into her book bag careful not break it.
"Yeah, when we've could've captured one of his daughters since she was right there in front of us. And at the other two schools." Vector pointed out. "We've wasted a great deal of time just watching them pass of us by like that. All we did was record Agnes and watched a friend of hers getting into trouble, Edith and her friends hanging out during recess, and now this."
"Spying on each of them and learning more about them is part of planning." Julian explained to him.
"How is this going to help us with our planning?" Vector asked her.
"We're going to look at it and see what we can find out about the girls when they're not at home." Julian explained to him as he led the way home. "And based on the material we've seen, we're just going to use one of them."
"Uh, which one?" Vector asked her.
"We'll check out the files when we get home." Julian explained to her.
Vector had a feeling that something crazy was going to come out of all of this for all he knew. Julian's planning wasn't really telling him much of anything as far as what her intentions were with this plan.
QQQQQ
Later that night when the girls were in bed Margo couldn't help but to feel a little excited about her birthday. She laid in her bed and thought about how much fun her parties were when her parents were still alive. She only hoped that her birthday this time around would be just as memorable.
