I am Karai

Chapter IV

We walked down the hallways together, chuckling at little jokes on how it took forever to find a good enough dress. I had thought 6 would take an eternity to find her dress, but as soon as she found the right color combination she was all set. 6's dress was the same olive green as her eyes, with peridots and emeralds adorning the waistline. It started as from fitting but past her hips it flowed loosely like water.

It was safe to say we both looked stunning. We made our way to 2's room where a sounds of metal banging against each other. 6 reached her hand to the door but I grabbed her collar and pulled her back. As if on cue the door exploded, leaving 6's hair and face covered in dust and soot. "I need to adjust the cooling system so that doesn't happen again." 2's dark hair popped out of the door, her chestnut skin covered in grime and oil, but her classic grin shone brighter than the walls.

"Oh Hi 6, did you......." 2 was trying to piece an explanation that didn't include the fact she had nearly blown he comrade's face off. ".... get a bad makeover?"

6 fixed her hair and retorted "Did you make some bad style choices?" motioning to the grease that covered 2's pale yellow overalls. I rolled my eyes. These two bickers more than a cat and a dog left alone in closed room. Just then a familiar golden brunette appeared at the doorway wearing a brown apron and safety goggles that were covered in dust. A black plain T-shirt clung loosely to his arms and a pair of long denims covered his lower half.

"10, you done with the prototype yet?" 2 asked him. He removed his goggles revealing twinkling hazel eyes. "Not yet, but I've added an extra kick to the it, now it can actually cause damage to non-living things whilst only placing soot and smoke on living things !"

10 was born with severe Dyslexia. The instructors knew it but didn't inform us till we were 12. He was set aside from reading assignments and did more oral presentations based on lessons he'd learnt, he had a knack for chemical formulae and the moment he stepped in the science lab, I could've sworn he knew how to blow the place up.

Meet 10, the ever-enthusiastic chemist/'explosive expert' (who mostly blew stuff up, no matter how many people told him not to).

6 ran behind him and pointed to 2. "She said I got a bad makeover!" she pouted. 2's smile didn't falter but her eyes tilted inwards, and a tick appeared at the side of her face. "Am I wrong?" she hissed back. A bead of sweat appeared on 10's face, knowing that eventually these two would ask him to pick a side, so, me being the kind, compassionate person I am, Picked up both of the by their collars and carried them into the lab. A majority of it was burned, or scorched, or singed, or just plain out destroyed. "2, you've really got to start caring about your lab, you can't keep destroying it like this." I sighed. 2 inched close to a wall where a large red button was covered by a thin layer of glass. It looked like a sprinkler system. "It wasn't me this time I swear, it was 10!" She said as her hands raised in a sign of surrender. "I would never, and as for you,2, lying to 8 like that, for shame." I knew that tone, I gave 10 a side-eye and asked, in a low, dark voice. "What. Did. You. Do. This. Time.?" he backed away and hid behind a half obliterated table,(It didn't really hide him, just made him look more pathetic).

"So, you know that really old cartoon from like, 225 or something years ago, the one with a talking rabbit who sometimes cross dressed?" My mind went to a show that had talking animals , that would normally be really short but somehow were taller and more intelligent than the humans, I also knew it because of it's inaccurate imagery of Martians (the martians are immigrants, but I don't think the original settlers of the red planet looked like that). "Oh, I know that one, Looney Goons, or something? Right?" 6 tried

2 sighed, "Looney Tunes, not Goons," I noticed her had going near the sprinkler trigger, and internally swore. I thought she'd be smarter than to let water clean up burns. She flipped it and the room began to shake, and the ground started to sink. Soon we were in an exact copy of 2's lab, but without the scorch/burn marks.
