Chapter 5

"Your friend seems nice." Michelle told Billy from where she sat holding the Blob.

"Yah Jason is great"

"Billy maybe I should tell not only you but your Dad my story."

"That's a smart idea." Billy smiled at her.

"So when do you think he will get home?"

"Soon" Billy said. "But while we wait we might want to get some sort of cage to keep the Blob in."

"Slimmer" Michelle corrected him.

"Ok lets go get Slimmer a cage." Billy said leading Michelle back to the garage.

Billy and Michelle were soon making a plastic cage and feeding Slimmer any little bit of scrap metal that they found, that they did not here Billy's Dad come home.

"Billy there you are" Mr. Cranston said from the garage door. "I have been looking all over for you."

"Hi Dad" Billy smiled at him while he hammered the last side of the cage together.

"And who is this fine young lady" Mr. Cranston asked as he smiled at Michelle.

"Oh this is my Friend Michelle." Billy told his Dad. "She is a run away lab experiment."

"What?" Mr. Cranston asked.

"It's a long story." Michelle told him.

"Ok why don't we sit down when the pizza gets here, and you can tell me all about it."

"We didn't order Pizza, me and Michelle put together a lasagne." Billy told his dad "Michelle Can you pass me Slimmer."

"You cooked and the kitchen didn't blow up and what in the world is that."

"Michelle handled most of the cooking, and that is Slimmer an experiment gone bad." Billy said as he put the Slimmer in his cage.

"Well now that's done why, don't we go eat?" Michelle suggested.

"Sound good." Billy told her.

"Why don't you two go clean up and I will set the table and then Michelle can tell us her story." Mr. Cranston told them.

"Sounds like a good idea." Michelle told Billy.

"Work's for me." Billy smiled as he went back into the house with Michelle following.
