The Adventures of Wesley and Philip plus Gabby

Chapter 8 We Suck at Making Traps

I don't know about the others, but I wasn't sure about trying to stop my sister. Sure she was probably about to kill a whole bunch of people, but that doesn't mean I hate her. Even though I only knew her for a couple of minutes, I still felt like protecting her. I guess that's what happens when you feel a connection with your family. If we had to stop her, we would, but I just didn't feel up to the task.

"Hey Wesley, keep your BLEEPING eyes on the road," Poofy said as I snapped out of my thoughts so that I could avoid hitting another car.

"Why did Poofy say bleep instead of swearing?" Enoch asked.

"It's a long story, but I can explain it if you want dad," Jimmy said. Enoch sighed and said that he could. So Jimmy told Enoch the story of the magic wrench and how Poofy acted like a cowboy for a good second. Enoch laughed when Jimmy told him about how Poofy threw the wrench at the van and how it bounced right back into his face.

"That is the funniest thing I have heard in a while," Enoch said.

"Laugh all you want, but you should know that I know where you live," Poofy said in a threating manner.

"You should know that I know your weaknesses," Enoch replied as he leaned over and began to tickle Poofy on the stomach. "Who's a psychotic stuffed animal huh? You are you stupid furball," Enoch said in a baby voice as Poofy tried to escape.

"Stop it right now! I'm warning you," Poofy said as he tried to not laugh, but it was no use. He began to laugh uncontrollably as Enoch tickled him even harder.

"Jesus, and I thought I wouldn't have to see this type of thing today," Philip said as he tried to avert his eyes.

"Wesley, promise me we will never do anything like that," Sarah said to me.

"I promise," I answered.

. . . . . . .

"Is this really the best plan we could come up with?" Sarah asked after I explained the plan.

"I fell asleep when he started talking," Poofy said.

"Let me start over. We send out a signal, which will only be intercepted by Gabby. She'll follow the signal here at which point we stop her from escaping on Sarah's bike. We win and a whole bunch of people live. Does anybody have any questions?" I asked.

"What type of signal are we sending her anyways?" Enoch asked me.

"It was more of a message really. If she is truly a part of the Johnson bloodline, then she will no doubt surrender to the power... of an all you can eat coupon," I said dramatically.

"I really do hope you know that you're an idiot," Poofy said mockingly.

"Listen, if she is related to us, she definitely won't pass up the chance to get her grub on," Philip said, trying to help my case.

"So we're just going to stop Gabby with a surprise attack?" Sarah asked confused.

"Wait, we're going to surprise her?" Jimmy asked innocently.

"She'll be surprised alright. Gabby definitely won't see it coming," I said in a menacing way.

"You're worse than me," Poofy mumbled under his breath.

. . . . . . .

We hid behind some trees as Enoch took out a device and pressed a couple of buttons. A gigantic realistic looking hologram of a restaurant appeared. Enoch ran to hide near where I was hiding.

"What is that thing you just used?" I asked him.

"That's a virtual building projector. It creates the illusion of a building by projecting an image that looks and feels real. It was one of the last things Caleb was working on before our last adventure," Enoch explained. Before I could ask any more questions, the sound of a motorcycle approaching made me shut up. It was officially show time.

"Everyone get ready," I whispered loudly to the others. We all watched as Gabby got off the bike and made her way towards the building. She opened the doors and right before she went inside, Jimmy jumped from behind his tree.

"SURPRISE!" Jimmy yelled as he jumped around while the happy birthday song played from his speaker chest.

"Jimmy? What the hell are you doing here?" Gabby asked in confusion. It was now or never if we were going to stop her. I made the signal and we all ran towards her. Gabby stood there for a second right before she pulled out this gun that made us stop moving.

"How did I know this free coupon was too good to be true?" She asked herself as she put the gun away. "Do you like my paralyzer pistol? It makes whatever you shoot it at instantly stop moving for an hour. By the time you guys are able to move again, I'll be long gone," Gabby gloated.

"This won't stop us from kicking your ass once we're free," Poofy said to her. His face was frozen in a funny position.

"Can it fluffy. You especially won't be able to do anything," Gabby told him.

"I wouldn't mess with him. He knows how to kick ass," Enoch explained.

"Gabby I need you to listen to me. You can't just kill an entire civilization of people. It's just not the right thing to do," I said, trying to reason with her.

"I'm not the one trying to kill people. I'm trying to stop a plague that'll wipe out all life in the multiverse if not stopped. You know what? I'm done talking to you losers. Goodbye idiots," Gabby exclaimed as she hopped onto Sarah's bike and rode away once more.

"Goodbye," Jimmy yelled from behind her.

"What are we going to do now?" Enoch asked.

"It looks like we're gonna have to wait until the effects of the gun wear off," Sarah explained.

"Don't you just hate life?" Philip asked as we all stood there motionless.
