Chapter 8: Helping Somebody
Last time: 9-Volt overheard the plans and he's not happy about the situation that he's put into.
Ashley had told the guys who were still tied to a chair tells their plans to catch a thief and if they follow their plans, one of them will be allowed to go home early.
"Thank god...I better get home as soon as possible...it's Saturday…", thought Wario.
Dr. Crygor was happy to hear that. "I would be glad to go home...but I'm not so sure about Penny though...is it better to make forgiveness to each other and forget all of this? I just hope so…", thought Dr. Crygor.
"Hmm...not sure about this...I hated it when friendship has to come to a cost of troubled relationships…", thought 18-Volts.
"I would've rather stay with the girls though…", thought Jimmy.
"I just hope I can get back my mojo after this…", thought Young Cricket who still has a female body.
"So...what do you guys think?", asked Ashley.
Some cheered while others just stayed silent.
"Well...not all of you guys gets to go home early when you find the thief though…", trailed off Mona.
The guys were confused and Dr. Crygor asks, "What do you mean?"
Ashley thought about it and says, "Well...I'm afraid that there are some guys would get a more special reward than to go home so…", Ashley turns to Mona and Penny and says, "Would you please take Young Cricket, 18-Volt, and Jimmy out of this room please?".
They both agreed and they take those three away to another room leaving Wario and Dr. Crygor in the room.
"I wonder if it's a good thing…", thought Wario.
"Maybe Penny would truly forgive me for my mistakes…?", thought Dr. Crygor.
Mona and Penny were back at Ashley room and they decided to tell the two guys of what they want individually.
Mona and Ashley decided to talk to each other regarding Wario and they come up with the agreement. Ashley whispers to Wario's ear and said, "Wario...if you can help us catch the thief…".
Next, Mona whispers to Wario's ear and says, "...we can have a threesome together if you like…?".
Wario blushes his face thinking about that. "That is great! That means that I can earn a 'Face-to-Face' with Ashley and Mona!", thought Wario happily. "Yah-ha-ha-ha-ha! Let's-a go!", exclaimed Wario happily.
"Alright!", exclaimed Mona happily.
"That's a good choice Wario...because I like you a lot..", said Ashley and she untied him off the chair and Wario is happy.
"Yeah! Let's kick the thief's ass!", exclaimed Wario.
"Okay…", trailed off Ashley and she turns around to Penny and asks, "Are you almost done yet Penny?"
"Almost!", exclaimed Penny to Ashley and Penny continues to talk to Dr. Crygor.
"Alright Grandpa, If we work together and catch a thief, I'll make sure that you buy your security camera in the house to keep you from being a pervert. Okay?", questioned Penny.
Dr. Crygor agrees and Penny just untied him from being in his chair and Dr. Crygor just get up, relieved.
"Penny, go get those other guys and then we'll untied them, alright?", requested Ashley.
"Yes ma'am!", exclaimed Penny and she went to go get these guys with Mona right behind her to help.
Mona and Penny were back and they've untied them on the chair. "Okay. We're here to catch the thief inside the house and if one of you guys can catch a thief, one of you can go home early while the rest is still being punished, alright?", reminded Ashley.
They did and they decided to go catch a "thief" and the guys start looking.
Meanwhile, 9-Volt got all the supplies in the kitchen and thought, "Hmm...since I've listened to Ashley's plan, that means that only a few would be able to go home if I rescue them...I would've LOVED to rescue them all, but then I realized that certain guys aren't going home like...what if Wario won't leave just for Ashley and/or Mona? Then, what would I do? I guess I can forget rescuing Wario…".
9-Volt went to another unused bedroom downstairs, this time, it's the room that has been cleaned but never used. "Odd...this room isn't exactly dusty...I wonder if it's...uh-oh…". 9-Volt hear the door screeching, he hides in the closet.
"So Ashley...do you think that the thief will ever get out of this house successfully if the thief hasn't been caught?", asked Red.
"Well...it depends Red...if we work together, we will catch the thief. If not, then it's terrible.", responded Ashley.
Red nodded, then asks, "Why are we here anyway?".
"Don't you remember? This was used to be your room...before you really wanted to sleep with me…", trailed off Ashley.
"Oh what!? You gotta be fucking kidding me!", thought 9-Volt angrily and 9-Volt thought his plans a little bit further on which guys to get them out and which guys could stay.
"I know this used to be my room, but what are we doing here?", asked Red.
"Oh. Um...I'm thinking that you still have your traps in your 'former' room, do you have any traps?", demanded Ashley.
"Wait...there are traps in this closet?", thought 9-Volt and he looked around it and he sees boxes hoping that it would have traps. 9-Volt then reflected, I could try to grab all of them for my purposes...then I would be caught...and that's not good.".
"Ashley...I gotta be honest with ya...I moved it to the basement…", told Red sadly wondering if Ashley is very angry right now.
But Ashley isn't angry. In fact, she was feeling a bit impatient. "Red. Let's get your traps from the basement and catch the thief. We don't have all night.", responded Ashley and they both get going to the basement.
"Alright, I better go rescue them now before it's too late!", thought 9-Volt quickly and he looks in the boxes and found out it was just Red's clothes and when he's done, he decided to see if 18-Volt wanted to get out first. Then, he got out of the closet and Red's room and finally decided to look for 18-Volt via stealth.
The guys were looking around the room for a thief...desperately. While Wario, Jimmy, and Dr. Crygor aren't in a rush to look for a "thief", Young Cricket and 18-Volt wanted to look for the "thief" just so that they can get out of their house sooner.
18-Volt was in the downstair hallway looking for the "thief". "Aw man...if one of us other than me that finds the thief, I'll be continuously be tortured by the girls...maybe I should truly apologize by writing a letter.", mumbled 18-Volt.
15 minutes later, 18-Volt had found a crumb of bread on the floor. "There's a trail of crumbs...does it lead to a thief?", thought 18-Volt and he follow the trail of breadcrumbs very carefully in order to avoid traps.
The trail of breadcrumbs has led to an upstairs bathroom and it ended in a toilet. "So...the thief had ended in the bathroom? Oh well, I guess I could use the restroom.", thought 18-Volt and he unzip his pants and takes a piss.
9-Volt is in the box in a bathroom. He was behind the door wearing his ski mask and he decided to push it to close it. 9-Volt tried to close the door slowly, but it had squeaking noises that can't be ignored by 18-Volt.
18-Volt realized that it IS a trap and he tries to finish his business faster. As soon as the door closes, he was about to scream, but the "thief" cover up his mouth and 18-Volt was tackled to the ground, pants down. Luckily for 18-Volt, he was done peeing in the toilet.
"Hey! Let's me go! I don't have any money! Don't even think about taking my cellphone!", yelled 18-Volt, but fortunately for 9-Volt, he had successfully covered 18-Volt's mouth and he is muffled.
"Shh…", said 9-Volt quietly, but 18-Volt didn't want to be quiet and he tried screaming for "help" until, he was out of breath and 9-Volt slowly let go of his mouth.
9-Volt put down 18-Volt slowly on the ground. Then, 18-Volt wakes up and says, "Please, don't take my fucking money…". He felt pissed off and was ready to fight.
9-Volt responds, "18-Volt...it's me…". 9-Volt then takes off his mask.
Suddenly, 18-Volt recognizes voice from the "thief". It wasn't the "thief" at all to 18-Volt. It was 9-Volt who disguises as a "thief". "N-9-Volt!?", exclaimed 18-Volt surprised.
"Shh! We don't want to get caught!", quietly yelled 9-Volt.
18-Volt apologizes and quietly asks, "So...what are you doing here buddy?"
"I'm here to break you out of Ashley's home.", whispered 9-Volt.
18-Volt was surprised about 9-Volt's motives. "Whoa...and I thought that you won't be able to spy the girls with us…", whispered 18-Volt.
"Honestly, I already had captured it in my cellphone...It's a long story.", whispered 9-Volt.
"Okay...um...Can I see those video?", requested 18-Volt.
"After I have to break you and the others out.", said 9-Volt. 18-Volt felt disappointed that he had to wait. Then, 18-Volt got an idea.
"Before you rescue them all, let me tell you something...Long story short, I've heard that Wario and Dr. Crygor would give them 'special rewards' besides going home early...I don't think that Wario or Dr. Crygor would liked to be 'rescued' without their special reward.", explained 18-Volt.
9-Volt thought about it for a moment and says, "Hmm...if that's the case, then I'll let them stay here for their 'reward' which is non-existent. So...do you want to get outta here?", asked 9-Volt.
"Since I won't be getting any other 'rewards' besides going home early by Ashley...I would like to get out of here sooner than later.", answered 18-Volt.
"Good choice. Now let's get out of this bathroom first and I want you to follow my lead.", said 9-Volt.
9-Volt opens the door with his ski mask back on. He looked very carefully on each side. When he's done, he responded, "Okay, the coast is clear from now.".
"Um...how about this instead: You can show me the way out of here without me being caught getting out? To put it this way: Show me the way out, but hide and I'll get out with you, but not when they're around, okay?", suggested 18-Volt.
9-Volt is surprised about his flaws on planning but is willing to accept his mistake. "That's a really good point…Okay then, let's do this!", said 9-Volt.
9-Volt and 18-Volt has gone left. 18-Volt wonders where 9-Volt would take him. 9-Volt is trying to find a room that is empty.
"Okay...I know that 18-Volt will guard me instead of him taking me to Ashley...I need to find a room if there's a way to get out...and hide from the onlookers besides my best friend.", thought 9-Volt.
9-Volt kept hiding into random places by walking quietly while 18-Volt "searches" for the "thief". They haven't been caught yet and 9-Volt's already worried about 18-Volt's possible betrayal.
Finally, 9-Volt found an UNUSED room and he went in there. 18-Volt heard someone coming and he pretended to search for the "thief".
Ashley was coming by and asks 18-Volt, "Did you find the thief?".
"No Ashley. I haven't seen the thief yet.", responded 18-Volt.
"Okay…but remember, if you don't find the thief, you won't get to go home early AND we'll still torture you for earlier, got it!?", exclaimed Ashley angrily having her hair turn white.
"Yes...I'll still look for that thief.", responded 18-Volt and Ashley had calm herself down. Her hair turns back to black.
Ashley had walked away and 18-Volt decided to go back where 9-Volt was hiding.
After he got into the room where 9-Volt is hiding, 9-Volt asks, "What took you so long?".
"Sorry 9-Volt, someone was coming and I had to pretend that I was searching for you. I didn't blow your cover. Anyway, what were you doing here?", asked 18-Volt.
"Well...I've been planning a way to get out and there's a window there. It's two-stories tall and I wonder if that's a good idea for you.", responded 9-Volt.
18-Volt thought about it for a moment and said, "No...I don't want to jump out of the window buddy.".
9-Volt wonders if there's a ladder inside the closet. 9-Volt checks the closet and 18-Volt wonders what was he looking for. "Oh...darn. There's no ladder in here…", trailed off 9-Volt.
18-Volt realizes that his plan may be too complicated. 18-Volt thought about something and says, "Hey buddy, I got another idea. If you can somehow managed to get downstairs without being caught, I'll be able to make sure that we can get out without being caught. Trust me. I know a way to do it.".
9-Volt thought about it and says, "Okay then. You go do it then. I'll be catching up to you later. In this room, I'll hide.". 18-Volt agrees and he gets out of the room.
Penny was there and 18-Volt startled. "Did you find the thief in that room?", asked Penny.
"Uh-no. No. I didn't find the thief inside that room.", responded 18-Volt nervously.
Penny could tell 18-Volt was lying. "Okay...let me go check that room to make sure there isn't a thief in there.", said Penny strictly and she went into the room. 18-Volt felt worried that 9-Volt is caught.
30 seconds later, Penny came out surprised and said, "Hmm...the thief isn't actually in there...odd. I was SURE that the thief is in there...I guess you are telling the truth after all...18-Volt? What's got into you?", asked Penny.
18-Volt came up a lie and explains to Penny that he was afraid of being trapped by the "thief". He explains on how they describe it and he wanted to approach catching the "thief" by sneak attacking it and catching it. Penny believed that 18-Volt is more of a guy who would do a very careful approach. Penny agree about his cautious behavior and decided to go back to her business.18-Volt does the same.
18-Volt enters the room and whispered, "Hey 9-Volt. It's me, 18-Volt!".
9-Volt got out under the bed and asks, "Did you find a place to guard yet?".
"No. Penny just came by and ask if I caught you yet and I told her no. She wouldn't even believe me for one moment.", answered 18-Volt.
"Hmm...I did hear Penny coming into the room and she check the closet to see if I'm hiding in one of those boxes. I guess she didn't know too much about Metal Gear Solid. Snake can do MORE than that.", said 9-Volt. "Let's go through this one more time okay?", asks 9-Volt.
"Okay.", said 18-Volt and he got out of the room and this time, he isn't caught.
Long story short, they've managed to escape out of the mansion, but not before they were caught with Jimmy T. telling the girls about it.
9-Volt and 18-Volt escape through the forest and try to get home as soon as they can. 9-Volt explains everything on what happen about himself while they're still running away from the mansion. 18-Volt was surprised about his stealth action skills because it came in handy with 9-Volt. 9-Volt and 18-Volt mutually agreed to tell the half-truth about what happened just to soften the blow on everyone.
The examples are: 9-Volt stays home all this time and 18-Volt was trying to catch a "thief" outside, but got lost in the forest and was trying to find a way home.
When they got to 9-Volt's house, 9-Volt decided to check Mrs.18-Volt to see if she was okay...and she is. She's still sleeping on 9-Volt's couch. 18-Volt was relieved and decided to go home. 9-Volt had to put his stuff away and prepares to go to bed. 18-Volt does the same at his home.
Will 9-Volt ever learn a lesson from all of this? How will 9-Volt tell the half truth effectively? Tune in for the last chapter of "9-Volt and the Sleepover Spies".
