Dark parallel trap

Chapter 16

That afternoon, Owen wondered what he should do next. Should he confront his twin, or should he wait until he could find a way to beat him. Owen didn't want to his planet to get invaded right away, or he didn't want to get himself into trouble by not having a plan. He knew that the school is the reversed version of his school. He didn't know what was going to happen at his double's school. The students normally have a day off school. Owen though to himself that the school might be busy on the weekends as well. Since this school does things that are the opposite of his school. Owen stood in his bedroom, staring at the closet doors. He didn't like the idea of going into his twin's house by surprise. Owen opened the closet door. He then put his backpack on with the devices. The only device that he had holding in his right hand is the joystick like device. He had his thumb over the button at the top.

Owen let out a sigh as he had his thumb touching the button. "Owen!" Francine called. Owen pressed on the button before Francine could finish. There was the sound of the school bells. Everything around him started to change. The closet he was standing in was cluttered with dress shirts hanging on every hanger. There was also small mounds of socks on the floor. The sleeves of these dress shirt were torn off and the socks haven't been used either. There was the faint smell of the fresh smell that the socks had on. Others were covered were covered by a little bit of dust. Owen opened the closet doors a little bit from the inside. He took a peek into his double's room. There was a lot of posters on the room that were saying how great the school is. One of the posters had the words "Being bad is good". Another one of them had the words "Be loyal and serve your school with joy". Owen looked at one particular poster with alarm. "Help us conquer parallel universes. We will have an empire on those worlds that would last forever!" The poster had Owen's face on it, but except he appeared to be scheming from the looks of it. There was also the school's logo on the lower left hand side of the poster. Owen could hear footsteps approaching the room. Owen pushed the door until it was closed all the way like it was when he was inside it. "I think it will be a great idea to make our counterparts bad like us Owen. I'm so proud of you for participating in this program that the school has been promoting and sponsoring." A voice that sound like Owen's dad said as he and somebody else entered. The door was closed behind them. "I know Dad. Soon we will take over their world and they will help us conquer a few other dimensions as well." Owen's double replied back. "When will be the perfect time to capture your twin? Besides, you've said it yourself, he will have to be teleported from his home to here a few times just to see how his twin would work out." "Oh, I think he will be good for turning into a bad boy soon. I will have to capture him one of these days." Owen's double acknowledged. "It will be nice to turn his entire family evil. I will enjoy seeing them getting to be part of the empire that will come to be. Do you think we could get a device that will turn them into evil people?" The father wondered. Owen couldn't tell if he had a smile or was just excited. "Relax Dad. That kind of technology is with the school. I don't want to break into the school to get access to the machine. That will be very wrong." Owen's twin responded with an excited tone of voice as well.

"But is it good to be bad? Why don't you break into the school and frame somebody else for your deed?" "That won't be necessary Dad. It won't be long before I gain access to this new technology. On Monday, there would be teams of students and parents who will be out capture Owen. And he will be in for the biggest moment of terror in his life." Owen's twin assured his dad. "Can you get him before all of the other teams can?" The father demanded. Owen put his hand over his mouth so that he couldn't gasp out of fear. "Of course, I can Dad. Don't worry, I know everything there is about my double. It will be so easy that he could be turned into a bad boy before the afternoon." The father looked around his room. "Come on, let's go and clean up. The school principal is coming over. And we want ourselves to be prepared for then." The father proposed. "I'll help you clean up the entranceway before cleaning up my room. How does that sound?" Owen's twin queried as he followed his father to the entranceway. "Does the principal like to listen to the music we listen to?" Owen asked. "I don't know son." The father replied before closing the door to his son's bedroom. After the sound of the footsteps are gone, Owen came out of the closet. He felt cramped inside the small space like a bunch of vegetables all bunched up together into one single plastic package. Owen had to open the closet doors slowly. When he looked around his double's room it looked like the opposite of his room. The bed was in a corner away from the closet and the dresser was at the foot of the bed.

The desk was closer to the closet. Owen put his backpack on the floor. He had the joystick device put into his pocket, with the button being seen from the top. Owen search for the device that had a camera lens on it. He had to remember to put the lens on the person with the lens pointing away from the person it was attached to. He also took out the device that would let you turn invisible. The flat like device was attached next to his other free pocket. Owen held onto the lens like device with his right hand while the left hand was touching the knob on the device. Owen made himself invisible. His empty backpack hung from his back. Owen wanted to see what his double was up to. Owen snuck into the dining room. He left the bedroom just in time to see his double rush into his room. Owen saw as Carter's double was helping to clean up the living room. He had sure that the room was nice and tidy before going to his own room to clean it. "I wonder what's the principal is going to say today?" Francine's double pondered as she cleaned the dining room. Owen came out of his room. "Excuse me, but why is my closet door open?" He questioned his family. "I didn't go in there." Francine said truthfully. "Neither did I. I was busy cleaning up the living room." Carter replied as he poked his head out from the living room. "I didn't go into your room Owen. Maybe it was that Frank guy from your school. Maybe he just wants to get back at people for having him getting suspended from school." The mother responded as she came from the garage. "I know I was in your room, and I didn't touch the closet doors." The father stated as he plugged the vacuum into the nearest outlet. Owen's twin went to work cleaning his closet. He had all of the socks at the bottom of his closet put onto the bed. The socks were then neatly put away in the sock drawer. The two closet doors were left open. Owen's double made sure that all of his dress shirts were all in the closet. Owen was still invisible and stayed out of anybody's way. There was nobody in the living room as it was already cleaned by Carter's doppelganger. The family was working their hardest to get their house the cleanest it could possibly be. Owen waited until everybody was nearly done cleaning, he wanted to leave and go back home. Yet Owen still hanged onto the lens like device. He waited right next to his doppelganger's room. He secretly put the lens like device on near the top of one of his double's shirt. Owen's twin didn't notice anybody touching him from behind.

The doppelganger had his clean dress shirts in order. Even though some of the shirt sleeves were ripped off or missing, Owen's twin was happy seeing his closet in perfect order. He then closed the closet door. Owen waited till his twin walked towards the door of his room. Owen managed to slip next to the dresser without his double even realizing it yet. "Owen, can you help me? I need some help cleaning up." Carter pleaded. "Alright, but we have to hurry, the principal from my middle school is going to be here in any minute now." The doppelganger spoke from the hallway. Owen wondered what else was different about his twin's room. He decided to lookin his double's desk. The top drawer was only accessible. The lowest drawer was larger than the first one. It had enough room to store file folders and other papers. However, it had a lock. Owen carefully opened the upper drawer. He slowly sifted through the items inside the drawer. There was a small letter inside. It was addressed to his double from the middle school of his world. Owen saw a key. He didn't know what it would open but he took it out of the drawer. He didn't know what else could happen in the house. The evil version of Owen's family prepared themselves to welcome the principal. Owen quietly closed the drawer as he heard footsteps outside. He hid the key out of sight and sat under his double's desk. He peeked and saw his double as he entered the room. Owen's twin took out a pair of black dress pants along with one of the dress shirts that has one long sleeve ripped off it. Owen then exited the room. Though he had forgotten to close the closet door. Owen quickly slid out from under the desk. The key that was found in the small drawer did in fact fit in the keyhole that the big drawer had to keep it secure. Owen put the key in the lock and turned it. He wondered what he was going to find in the big drawer. Owen slowly pulled the big drawer handle. Then he heard the sound of somebody in the hallway. The drawer was pushed back into place, and the drawer was locked. Then held onto the key in the palm of his hand. Owen's twin came in, he was wearing his fancy one long sleeved dress shirt with the black dress pants. On the dress pants, Owen noticed that it was ordinary set of pants at first glance. It didn't have any holes in it. He closed the closet doors. "Hurry Owen. The principal is here. His car has parked next to our house!" Francine called from the kitchen. Owen's twin quickly ran out of the room and slammed the door behind him. Owen peeked from behind the desk. He reinserted the key into the big drawer's lock. He turned it and opened the drawer as accurately as he didn't want anybody to know that he was in his twin's house.
