They started heading down the shady staircase leading straight down to her late parent’s lab.
“So, what are we going to do about Eric?” Asked May.
“Duh know,” Irene grumbles.
“But, what if he never forgives you, for killing your parents?” May said with a concerned face.
“I DON'T KNOW!” Irene said practically yelling at the top of her lungs.
“Why are you so angry?... Do you need a nap?” Said May, trying to mess with her.
“Well, no one would be all bubbly when they kill BOTH of their parents in the middle of the night!...( I can still hear them.. Trying to persuade me not to do it)” Irene mumbled, trying to hold back her tears.
“Well they are your parents, of course, your sa-” Just then Irene cut her off.
“NO! It's not about them is about Eric maybe he really will hate me”
After that, it was silence for the rest of the way down the stairs. When they got there it was fairly easy to get into the lab. Irene’s parents must have thought no one would really want to get in, it’s practically like they wanted people to come into their lab. Thought May, kind of disappointed. She opened the door. No problems at all. I didn’t even have to kick down the door. No traps. No emergency alarm systems. Absolutely none of the precautions one would expect someone to put down in case of intruders. “Your parents didn’t care much security. Did they?”
“It doesn’t seem so.” Irene said, walking into the room taking out her nice little, blood splattered murder weapon and putting it on the table. Sliding her hand across the table to a black mechanism on the table and picked it up, stuffing it in her pocket.
“What’s that?” May asked curiously as she looked around the immense room, suddenly noticing the object in her friend’s hand.
“Oh, this?” Irene asked, bringing it up higher for May to get a better look at it.
She nodded.
“Uh, well… It’s TOTALLY not the controls to the robot army my parents have.” Irene said sarcastically.
“Oh, well then what is it?” She replied jokingly.
“That was SARCASM, May!!”
“I know. Geez, take a joke, Irene!”
Just then something caught her eye, Irene jerked her head towards the door, then her eyes widened. “OHH SHIT!”
Before May could look she heard a somewhat small voice saying, “What are you doing here?”
ERIC!?” Irene said running towards him.
“Why are you up?” May said in shock.
“Well in needed to ask my mom something… by the way, do you know where they are? Did they let you in here?”
Irene trying to push him out the door desperately looking for an excuse said, “ I…. um..no?”
Just then, May blurts out so casually, “They’re dead…”
“MAYYYY! WHY!?” Irene asks, sounding betrayed.
Eric laughed nervously. “Very funny, May. Where are they really?”
“Oh, I wasn’t joking, they’re really dead.” Eric stared at her in horror. “Here, let me start at the beginning.” She took in a big breath of air but Eric cuts her off.
“You must be joking right? You have to be joking. Irene, is she joking?” He asked in disbelief.
Irene sighed nervously. “N-no Eric, she’s not...joking.” Irene admitted, hanging her head.
“WHY? HOW?” He said frantically looking for answers.
“Um, well…” She fumbled around with her words a bit. Finally, she straightened up and told him straight on, “I’m taking over the world.”
May stared at her with a seriously mixed with what the heck look on her face.
Eric standing there dumbfounded said, “I don't understand.”
All of the sudden May burst out laughing.
Irene looking at him annoyed trying to explain and he starts to look like he understands and said, “Sure!”
May and Irene looked at each other and then looked back at Eric and said, “What… but why?”
“Well… I mean I have no else but you and if you took over the world then I wouldn’t have to go to school!”
May just realizing the benefits of taking over the world said, “YEAh! NO SCHOOL, NO SCHOOL” and continued until Eric started to join in.
Irene just standing there just disappointed, thinking, When did I ever say I was ending school when I take over the world. Irene snapped back to reality, still seeing them dance around the lab, she quickly got onto her phone and started to call someone. May stopped for a moment and asked Irene, “Who are you calling?”
Irene not even stopping to look at her and heading for the door said, “Ace, to tell him to proceed with the plan...”
May looking surprised and shocked said, “WAIT! When was Ace involved?” as she grabbed Eric and raced after Irene. “Remember that ONLY time I could get you to go to the mall?” said Irene looking annoyed because Ace wasn’t picking up the phone. “Yes? WAIT, yea I remember, I don’t know why I did. It’s like I was forced to go, and took WAY too long in the bathroom!” May looking up like she was still trying to remember something.
“Well…” Irene said giving up on calling him and decided on calling Drake instead, “I wasn’t in the bathroom, I went to meet up with Ace and Drake to discuss this topic with them.”
May feeling left out said, “ Well how come you didn’t let me come with you? I could have went with you and not looked like a total IDIOT standing by the bathroom!”
Irene trying to think said, “I’m not sure… I can’t-” being cut off by a voice coming from the phone. Irene looking relieved but angry, and started to yell, “FINALLY! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME I'VE SPENT ON TRYING TO CALL YOU AND ACE?! Oh, and is Ace with you?... Good, let me talk to him….. ACE!-”
May exiting herself from the area turned to Eric and said, “How do you live with her?” trying to whisper but Irene stopped and turned toward both of them and just scowled at May.
“Shut up. No not you, well yes but I was talking to May!” With her still lecturing at Ace and Drake she finally remembered what she wanted to say to them and after two hours she finally hung up.
May sitting there bored next to Eric that was dead asleep said, “Do you know that you wasted time on lecturing them now it is almost morning!”
Irene just stood there trying to stay calm said, “I’m sorry but, when you choose people that rarely have their phone or any communication device to help you it gets kinda hard… wouldn’t you agree?” Putting on a forced smile.
“I guess...” Smiling as if she was mocking Irene.
Irene realized what time it was quickly got up at walked towards Eric.
May said confused, “What are you doing?”
“Well, we need to leave...” Irene said looking confused as well.
“Why?” May looked shocked, “Where are we going? And also you have to continue your explanation to my question!”
Irene looked super tired like she hadn’t had sleep in days. “Later please… we need to get out of here and head over to Ace and Drake’s place. One, because I’m tired and two, they have most of what we need.” Irene then turned to the sofa and carefully pulls a blanket over Eric and picks him up.
May stood up and walk toward the table to grab Irene’s phone, When she opened it up she was on the contacts page and found a persons named “Plan B”, Plan b?, what's that suppose to mean?, before she could read the messages shared between Irene and “Plan B” Irene taps May on the shoulder whispering “what are you doing?” May reflexively turns to jab her in the stomach, realizing what she did she said, "Uhhh, I-I was just getting your phone for you”. Irene looks down at her hand and didn’t say a word. May tried to change the subject by asking “Why can’t you sleep here and go tomorrow?”
Irene looked at May with a face like did you really just say that? And said, “I don’t think that would be a good idea because this is the house that I just killed my parents in…”
After that, they placed Eric in the car and drove over to where Ace and Drake lived. When they got there they saw a load of weapons uniforms and computers.
Eric looking in every direction saying, “This is So cool! Where did you get all this?”
Ace looking at him feeling like the coolest person ever said, “We're just that awesome!”
Eric looked at him realizing who Ace was and all of the sudden he punches him in the gut and ran over toward Irene.
Ace felt little pain but overreacted and fell to the floor waiting for sympathy, but all he got were laughs
After that everyone started to laugh and then May said, “That’s what you get for talking to Eric like that and trying to look cool!”
Then Irene said pretending to forget, “OH YEA! Eric hates all of you, but not so much May.”
“Why?” Drake and Ace asked in unison.
“We’re not sure ourselves actually….” May said and then went over to Drake, whispering to him, “I think he is just jealous that Irene doesn’t just care for him.”
Then Drake looks at May nodding trying not to laugh. “Anyways what is the next step?” Asked Ace. Then everyone looked towards Irene, but she was flat on her back asleep.
May in shock said, “I didn’t know she was THAT tired.”
