" Edith, you know that I do not take well to fake tears!" Gru scolded trying to put his tough face on. Margo rolled her eyes. "That's the first time she's used fake tears on him." Margo thought. "Gru, can we order a pizza?" Margo asked. "Why sure you can Honey." Gru replied in a sweet tone. He handed Margo the money. She went off to go order it. "Anyway Edith, I do not appreciate ze fake tears." Gru said feeling his heart melt from seeing Edith's innocent face. "Oh never mind, go and play!" Gru said patting her head. Edith grinned knowing he coudn't resist her. She went to the book room where Agnes was. Gru set off to his lab when he heard Agnes yelling his name. "Oh, you've got to be pulling on my leg about your damn book." Gru muttered. He began walking back to the book room but when Agnes's yells turned to screams, Gru began running. He saw Edith at Agnes's side and knelt by Agnes observing the cut on her foot. "Edith, what happened?" Gru demanded feeling like Edith had something to do with it. "Um, um, um- Edith began. "Well?" Gru asked again. "We were wrestling." Edith murmured not telling him Agnes had asked to wrestle in the first place. "Edith, I'm dissapointed in you, I thought you knew that Agnes was too small to wrestle." Gru chided. "After you eat dinner, go to your room." "Don't worry about my stupid dinner, I'm not hungry." Edith yelled starting to cry. She ran off to her room crying. "Somehow, I feel like she was really crying. "Gru said to Agnes, oh I'll talk to her later." Edith bumped into Margo. "Hey Edith, I ordered a pizza!" Margo said getting up holding her skirt down. Tears continued down Edith's face. "Hey what's wrong?" Margo asked softly. "Gru blew up at me." Edith answered. Margo looked suprised. Gru had never gotten mad at any of them. "Did he yell?" Margo asked. "No, he just told me to go up to my room after dinner but I said I wasn't hungry." "I can sneak you a few pieces of pizza if you like." Margo offered. "You'd do that?" Edith sobbed. "Well why not?" Margo replied.
Later that night at dinner... Margo stuffed 4 pieces of pizza in her skirt and took them to Edith. Edith was lying on her bed still crying. "Um hey Edith I got your pizza." Margo said. Edith wiped her face. "Thanks." She said. "Your welcome." Margo answered. "Were these in your skirt?" Edith asked. Margo turned bright red. "No, enjoy your pizza. She said. Margo rubbed her back a little then turned to go out of the room. "Gru can I tell you something?" Agnes asked. "Yes." Gru said. "I asked Edith to wrestle." Agnes admitted. "You did?" Gru asked softly. "Yeah." Agnes said. "Ok, thank you Agnes." Gru said. Edith heard a knock at the door and quickly hid her pizza. Gru opened the door and saw her crying. "Oh Edith I'm sorry for getting mad at you." Gru said feeling guilty for getting mad. Edith looked up at him with tears in her eyes. He sat down beside her and removed her hat to stroke her hair. "I don't know why I blew up." Gru said. "I regret it dearly." Edith leaned on Gru's shoulder allowing him to stroke her hair more. "Agnes told me what happened." Gru began. "I'm very proud of you for not wanting to get your sister in trouble." Gru praised her. "I promise, I'll never get mad at you or your sisters again." Gru said. "I'm sorry for lying." Edith whispered sleepily. Gru relized stroking her hair was making her sleepy. "Don't be sorry Edith." Gru said. By then, Edith was asleep. He gently left her in her bed to rest. Gru went downstairs to tell Margo and Agnes to get ready for bed. "Be quiet when you two go upstairs, Edith is sleeping." Gru said. "Ok, good night Gru." Margo said. "Good night." Agnes said. "You girls sleep well." Gru said. "We will." Margo replied. Gru smiled while he watched them climb the stairs. He headed for his lab...
