Mr. Aldean has made an appearance! I wonder what Jet wanted to ask him. OuO
Lilly was almost done figuring out how to stop the Nanobots. They would be a lot easier to destroy than the Protobot, but harder at the same time.
"Hey Milli?" Lilly started her question. "Did you find any remains of my device when you were cleaning up?"
"Nah that thing was scrapped." She answered.
"Hmmm." She said tapping her pen on her chin.
Meanwhile...
Jet was in the tiny breakroom. It held only a 4 seater table, a coffe machine, a mini fridge, and a stand with a microwave. He was making a pot of coffee, exausted from a long day. The drink was almost done trickling into the glass pot below when it started turning a dark red color.
He blinked and rubbed his eyes thinking that everything was getting to him. The minibots, the whole thing with Lilly's dad, asking for the blessing, the funeral, he needed a break. Still, the coffee was red. He picked it up and looked at it closer, holding it inches from his face. Suddenly, it shattered. The red liquid spilled all over him as he fell onto the floor, the glass, cutting him.
"MELISSAAAA!" He shouted. He didn't make himself shout, it just sorta came out. He closed his eyes and when he opened them again, the blood had turned back to coffee. With a sigh of relief, he put his hand on his forehead. He felt something. When he looked at his flipper, he saw blood. This time it was real blood.
"AHH!" He shouted scooching backwards avoiding nothing, and accidentally bumping the table. Lilly heard the banging and shouting and ran in.
"Guy!" She said going over to him and kneeling beside him. She tried waking him up. He opened his eyes and sat up panting.
"Lilly. It was all over me!" He said sounding worried.
"What?"
"Melissa's blood. It's all over my face. See?" He said showing her the blood on his head and hand.
"Oh honey." She said sympathetically. "Why does this keep happening to you?" Her voice was now muffled from hugging him.
"Lilly, what's happening?" He asked.
"I don't- hey. Didn't you have hallucinations a few weeks ago?"
"Y-yeah I think so."
"Hm." She thought or a moment. "Let's get you cleaned up."
They got up and Lilly took his hand. They went into Lilly's office and she got a small first aid kit. Sitting in front of him, she wiped a few inches above above his eye where the cut was.
"Mmm its not bleeding very bad anymore." She said lightly rubbing around the incision. "Does hurt much?" She said getting up and walking to a small desk next to the filing cabinet in the corner of the room.
"No not really." He answered sighing. "Hey." He said quietly and calmly.
"Yeah?" Lilly said while she was putting the first aid kit away.
"Can I talk to you for a second?"
"Yeah honey." She said sitting down close in front of him. He took her hands and thought of the right way to say things.
"Well when I was at my parents, we were talking about a funeral...aaaand... Since you never had one for Annabelle, I suggested to my parents that we "combine" funerals and have one for Annabelle too." Lilly was now looking down. "What do you think sweetheart?" She leaned in and hugged him tightly, holding back tears. "Lilly?" All she did was nod. He could feel her crying lightly. "Honey what's wrong?"
"I can't think about her before she left without thinking about how she died."
Imagining (This is when she's telling him what she imagines. And it's true. 99% anyways.)
Little Annie was standing in with her cousin. She was holding his arm and hiding behind him while he talked to another man.
"Annie. Why don't you go play outside?" He asked. She looked up at him with sparkling blue eyes and ran off. While she was outside he looked up and saw seven twinkling lights. She laughed happily and thought they were stars that she cold somehow see during the day. As she picked flowers, the lights grew bigger and brighter. She could hear a slight rumbling noise and thought it was thunder, but there were no clouds. Continuing her flower picking, the dots grew further apart and brighter and bigger. Soon, one was so close the could hear it clearly. Thirty seconds later it hit. A quarter from where she was. The heat, fire rushing at her. The blast from the bomb, killing her. Her dead body lay on the ground, catching fire.
"I think about all I could have done to have prevented it. I told her I wouldn't leave and I did. I'm a horrible mother." She said sobbing into him.
"Nooo baby. You're not." He comforted. After a few minutes, Lilly shook her head.
"You know what? It's over. I shouldn't even be worrying about it. I'm almost done with my research." She said getting up anf walking back to her workspace.
"Lilly!" G said. "Agents Eve, CC, and Ember have successfully, but slowly defeated 5 nanobots." (Nanobot, Minibot. Potato, Potahto.)
"Really? How?"
"The same way you did a few years ago. By using the elite puffles. But, like I said it took 4 agents and alot of time. There are much stronger and there are many more of them. I do believe we are still in quite a predicament."
"I'm almost done. I've made a gun that uses a strong enough "bullet" to penetrate metal. The bullets contain the nanoits programmed to power down electronical devices. So far I've been able to make 10 bullets and 2 guns. We need people with good aim. If every shot is made, it should lower the number of minibots to 15. Nkt all of them, but it'll be progress."
"What happens if a penguin gets shot?"
"Same as any other gun. They get dead!"
"Hmm...then we really do need agents with good aim." G called all the agents into the command room. "Agents. Who here has used a gun before...Hmm I see." He said as penguins raised their hands. "We need one othr agent to go out in the field."
"I'll do it!" Rookie suggested.
"NO!" Half the agents shouted.
"I think I have pretty good aim." Milli said. "But, all I've ever used was my grappling hook.
"Lilly, could you have her tey taking a few shots in your igloo? We don't have any place to shoot here."
"Yeah sure. We can go now."
"Great." G said as Lilly and Milli walked out the door.
I'm off school. That's why I have this up so early.
