Hey readers! Hope you enjoy this short but sweet story. Venom gets tired of Eddie bossing him around and decides to take over while Eddie's at school... Will Eddie's reputation stay intact, or will that parasite only make it worse? Please Like and Review, and enjoy! Note: I do not own The Parent Trap.
Eddie sat in his early morning History class, trying his best not to fall asleep as his teacher droned on about some war in some country some centuries ago.
WAKE UP, Venom snapped in his mind, giving the boy a mental pinch that caused him to start. THIS IS INTERESTING.
No it's not, Eddie thought, annoyed that his symbiote was preventing him from sleeping. This class is a buzz kill!
NOT TO ME, the alien replied. YOU SAID WE SHOULD LEARN MORE ABOUT HUMANS AND THEIR WORLD, AND THIS IS "WORLD HISTORY"-
I know that! But I'm tired, and you're keeping me up!
BUT WE WANT TO LISTEN, AND IF YOU ARE ASLEEP, WE CANNOT DO THAT!
Well, the boy thought, shifting into a more comfortable position, since it's my brain, I say that we get to sleep.
Venom laughed in his mind, which set the human's teeth on edge. AWW, YOU STILL THINK YOU ARE IN CHARGE?
Uh… yes?
HEH HEH. WE SHALL SEE.
Eddie sat up a little in his seat, not liking the tone of the parasite's voice. V, what are you-
And he blacked out.
It seemed that Eddie was out for only a few seconds, but when he woke up, he was in his bedroom, and the clock on his desk read sometime after four pm.
"WHAT THE HELL," he yelled, stumbling forward as his legs suddenly felt weak.
STILL THINK YOU ARE IN CHARGE? Venom's voice rag in his head, sounding smug and satisfied. To the human's horror, he found that he could not stand up.
"V! What did you do?! Why is it now 4 PM?!"
LET'S JUST SAY… WE WERE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT TODAY, AND YOU WERE TIED UP IN THE TRUNK. WE DID WHAT WE WANTED TO DO TODAY!
"You… you took over?" The boy got a sick feeling as he imagined his body becoming covered with black goo, scaring his classmates and-
WE ONLY TOOK OVER YOUR BRAIN; YOU STILL LOOKED LIKE YOUR PATHETIC SELF, BUT WE WERE IN CHARGE!
"And what did you do," the teen demanded.
WE DID WHAT YOU USUALLY DID, BUT WE DID NOT HAVE TO HEAR YOUR NAGGING AND BITCHING EVERY FEW SECONDS, NOR DID WE HAVE TO HEAR YOUR COMMANDS AND ORDERS CONSTANTLY.
Eddie stared up at the ceiling, mulling over the alien's words in his head. He knew that he sometimes told the symbiote what to do, but he never thought that he was coming off as bossy. He was only trying to make sure that Venom didn't eat anyone or embarrass him. The symbiote made a humming noise, which seemed to confirm this fact.
"Okay okay," the boy sighed, "I'm sorry for bossing you around so much."
AND?
"And I'm sorry for acting all superior to you.
AND?
" … Do I have to say it?"
YES!
The human sighed, knowing that he was basically admitting defeat. "Fine. You're in charge."
NO, DUMB-ASS, the parasite snapped in his mind, causing the boy to flinch. WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT THAT! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO ASK US HOW OUR DAY WAS AND PRAISE US FOR NOT KILLING YOU!
"You're… kidding, right?"
NO. IT WAS FUN, PRETENDING TO BE YOU WHEN IT WAS REALLY US.
Eddie sighed, but he couldn't help but grin. "Fine, but can I control my body again, please?" The alien relented, and the boy climbed to his feet, setting his backpack on the ground by his desk. "Did you do anything out of the ordinary?"
NO. WE ARE SMARTER THAN TO GIVE US AWAY. WE DISSECTED AN AMPHIBIAN, TOOK A TEST ON SOME SORT OF MATH WITH LETTERS, ATE PIZZA AND TATER TOTS FOR LUNCH, AND TALKED TO THAT KATIE HUMAN YOU LIKE SO MUCH.
"You did WHAT?!" He was no longer grinning, and a thrill of horror filled his chest.
WE KNEW YOU LIKED HER BUT YOU WERE TOO MUCH OF A PUSSY TO SAY ANYTHING, SO WE TOOK THE LIBERTY TO ASK HER OUT FOR A DATE THIS FRIDAY.
"No no no no no," the teen muttered, sitting down on his bed, his face going read as he imagined what the parasite could have possibly said to her. "Tell me you didn't ask Katie Winters out on a date!"
WE DID, Venom said proudly, though a little confused as to why Eddie seemed upset.
"And she said no of course," Eddie muttered, leaning back and staring at the ceiling. Of course she did; Katie was the smartest and most beautiful girl in his school, and the President of the Journalism Club, of which he was a member. He could only imagine her and her friends laughing at Venom, thinking it was him that was dumb enough to ask her out, and imagining what all the other kids would-
SHE SAID YES.
The boy sat up quickly, his eyes wide as saucers. "She… she said yes?"
OF COURSE. WE ARE "PRETTY COOL," AS YOU SAY, AND WE ARE TAKING HER TO SEE THE PARENT TRAP AT THE MOVIE THEATER.
For a few moments, the teen sat on the bed, the alien's words turning over and over in his head. Finally, he gave a big grin and jumped to his feet, giving a little cheer as he raised his fists in triumph.
WHY ARE YOU CELEBRATING, Venom grumbled, sounding slightly annoyed. WE ARE THE ONES WHO DID ALL THE HARD WORK!
"I know," the boy reassured him, still grinning from ear to ear, hoping that he wasn't dreaming. "But I'm still happy; thank you SO MUCH for doing that! High five?"
The symbiote moved under his skin, and a few moments later, black sludge pooled out from the human's toes, growing larger and bigger until it turned into the black creature that was Venom whenever he took over Eddie's body. The only difference was that a line of goo was still attached to Eddie so Venom wouldn't die.
Grinning at him, the alien high-fived the boy, licking his needle-like teeth. "WE DID GOOD, DIDN'T WE EDDIE?"
"Yes," the human smiled back. "Yes you did."
