A Bender In Neverland

Half Of A Truth

"Right! I was planning to move up the escape on november 8..." norman said with a smile in his face

"WOAH, WOAH, WOAH WAIT A MINUTE!! Is it too much of a rush not that I mind..." emma said holding norman by his shoulders

"I MIND?!" ray said chooping emma on the forehead and continued with a look of fear on his face "Mama's goal is to restrict us. That's why she wont make the first move until we do. Doesnt that mean we have time then?!"

"Yeah! Thats exactly why." I said arms crossed

The three looked at me then emma asked "What do you mean?"

"If were able to figure out that much, mama definetly sees things that way as well. Our goal is to become unpredictable to her." norman said

"And its also better for us to make our escape before winter comes and 10 days is more than enough. We got no clue what mama's next move is and all we have to do now is to finish up the preparations within the next 10 days." I said with a serious face

"There's also the fact that mama doesnt hide the fact that she has a spy among us in the first place and she isnt making it obvious either. She's trying to trick us by thinking we have time. As soon as we get rid of these transmitters, we have to get out of here right away." norman said

Norman then looked at me and said with a look of surprise "I'm actually impressed that you figured out my plan harley. How did you even figure it out?"

'Crap I said too much. Damn you mouth!!' I thought to myself

"Well its easy. I just thought that you would want to escape early because mama has a spy and that we might be better escaping before winter comes so I thought that by november we should escape." I said looking at a different direction

"But you said on november 8 though. How did you know that norman would say the exact same date?" ray asked

"Well to tell you the truth... I actually thought about 5 days. Hehehe" I said scratching the back of my head

"Thats even more of a rush!" emma exclaimed

"Yeah thats what I thought but it was either 5 or 10 days and I picked the latter because its more than enough time." I said

We then heard the bell telling us that it was time to go back 

We talked some more as we walked back to the house

After mama counted all of us there, we split up to help prepare for dinner

"Thanks for the food!" I said with the rest of them

As we began to eat ray suddenly said "I'm still not convinced."

"Ray eat your food before I steal it from you." I threatened making him scoff then eat his food

After eating we gathered up the plates and went to the sink

Norman infront of me and ray by my side while emma was still getting some of the plates

Then ray said "I get it... But isnt that realistically imposible? 10 days... I mean c'mon."

"You'd think that right? That's why it'll be the best time for us to make our move." norman said with a smile

"It may be incredibly risky... But we have to do it in order to survive ray." I said as emma catches up to us

"Yeah ray and the very first thing to do on our list is to try to get gilda and don to join us." emma said

-Timeskip-

We were walking to where the library was, as we were talking about how to convince the two

"So how are we going to break the news to them though? We've gotta word everything carefully, or else it'll all end up getting tossed to the side as some kind of sick joke by those two." ray said lagging behind me and emma

Then he looked at both of our eyes with a glare and said "Not everybody is going to just straight up believe everything you three said like I did, ya hear?"

Emma looked intimidated while her sweat dropped while I said "Yeah! Yeah! We hear you."

'Dont get your panties in a twist before you lose your dick.' I thought making me crack a smile

"Well emma, harley and I discussed this as well but to sum it up, majority voted that we wont tell them the truth." norman explained

"What?!... You want to keep those two in the dark?" ray said looking shocked

"We cant be responsible for putting them in danger." norman said

"The hell?!" ray exclaimed

"Mama isnt making any moves because she doesnt see any changes in our daily lives at the moment but once we show that something's up, she might go for the "early shipment" option. I do want our escape to succeed..." emma said

"But in the event that it doesnt, as long as those two dont know the real truth, their lives may be spared." norman said

"I would rather tell them the truth rather than them finding out about it. Since if their helping us out, there maybe a chance they figure something out and it may cause some distrust in the future." I explained

"I dont care if they call me a liar. I dont care if they found out about it later and hold a grudge against me. If mama ends up killing us all even before thise demons start coming into the picture then its really game over for us. Bow isnt the time to tell them the truth." emma said in all seriousness

I looked at ray and said "Now you see why I backed off?"

Ray justed looked at me then scoffs

Norman giggled then said with a smile "Still its still quite difficult to try and come up with another scenario for them that'll get them pumped enough to make this plan work."

Norman opened the door and inside there sat don and gilda waiting

"Thanks for waiting, guys!" norman said

"Sorry if we took so long. Hoped you didnt wait too long." I said

"No problem! So what's up?"
