Once Aaron and I had gone through the girls' backpacks, I was very impressed with what they brought back. I went through Emilie's bag and Aaron went through Elizabeth's. Emptied everything out, onto the table and sorted the guns by size.
"They really have outdone themselves, haven't they?" I spoke aloud.
"Is this for me?" Aaron asked pulling a pink Bra out of the backpack. I laughed and continued to sort.
"I wonder what they had in that other backpack." I said to Aaron, as I completed my sorting.
"Now, this is kinky." Aaron said holding up a thin, black thong.
"Aaron, just put it back. I'm going to go check on Ty. Put all the food from the bag in the kitchen and put her clothes up in her room." I said walking out of the room. Hope filled my thoughts as I made my way down to where Ty was experimenting. The basement was warmer than usual. Ty was standing by some tubes when he noticed my arrival.
"Dray, I think I got it!!! You're just in time to see my fourth attempt." Ty said merrily.
"Fourth?" I asked. He had put three fail injections into my sleeping sister?! Cool.
"Here we go. Stand back." He said holding an Injection. It glowed pink, just like the original. He neared the needle towards my sister's arm. Madison HATED shots. She needed nurses to hold her down when she got shots. But she seemed calmer than ever(Because she wasn't conscious). He poked the needle into her wrist and injected the Liquid into her vein. He pulled the needle out and scooted back. We both couldn't look away. Then she started to spasticity shake.
"What's happening?!" I yelled as I rushed to my sister.
"She's having a spasm. Knock her out!!" Ty instructed. I pulled my revolver out of my pocket and held it by the barrell. I pulled my arm back ready to hit her in the head, with the bottom of the gun. I started forward but, stopped due to my sister flinching.
"Wait!!! I was just kidding!!" She whimpered. The Antidote had worked!!! And we had awaken my sister!! My sister... My little sister... My annoying little sister... Great...
"It worked Ty!!!" I cheered as me and him both stood up dancing. He picked me up and twirled me around. Madison just sat there, confused.
"What's going on?!" She yelled at us. We stopped and I told Ty to tell her about EVERYTHING that had happened. As he did that, I ran up the stairs, almost tripping over myself. I burst through the door and scanned the room. Aaron was sitting on the floor, next to the guns, staring at me like I was insane.
"He did it Aaron!!!" I yelled as I rushed over to him. He still didn't understand me.
"He did what?" Aaron yelled standing up.
"He knows how to Duplicate the Antidote!!!" I cheered. Aaron stopped, dead in his tracks. I could see tears starting to form in his eyes. He smiled.
"I can wake her up now?" Aaron asked softly. I nodded. He grabbed me and pulled me in for a hug. He was crying with joy on my shoulder. He still smelt like the dumpster. I didn't say anything, to ruin the moment.
"On his fourth try, he was able to get a successful result." I explained.
"What do you mean? Did he wake her up already? I got to go thank him!!!" Aaron yelled as pulled the basement door open. When he looked through the doorway he screamed and jumped back like he had seen a ghost.
"What's that smell?" My sister asked as she walked through the door. All the emotion in Aaron's face had drained. He looked over at me.
"Her?" He asked."He experimented on her?"
"I wanted him to experiment on her so nothing bad would happen to Cailey if he did something wrong." I explained. He looked at my sister then back at me.
"Her?" He repeated.
"Yep, I wasn't to happy either. But that's besides the point!!! We know how to wake Cailey up!!!" I shouted. Ty had just walked through the doorway and stopped in front of Aaron. Aaron's smile returned when he saw Ty.
"You, my friend, are a genious!! So, how much longer until we got another dose?!" Aaron asked wrapping his arm around Ty.
"Not very soon, Aaron. I need more ingredients to make another dose. And the only place I can think of to find all the things we need, is back at school." Ty said glumly. Aaron tried to stay positive.
"That's okay. We can go back to the school tomorrow and you can get all the science stuff, your giant brain desires." Aaron said with a smile still on his face. I agreed. We would tell the others about the trip to gather more ingredients for the Antidote in the morning. We all went out the back door to see the progress of the second hut. To my surprise, It was already done and was painted blue. The girls had painted their hut Hot pink. Above the door on the new hut, read "Tim and Parker". I went over to the girl's hut and knocked on the door. A second later, Emilie opened the door.
"Hey, you guys did a great job of painting the huts." I said into the doorway. Emilie smiled.
"That's not all we painted." She said grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the garage. She told me to close my eyes, so I shut them tightly. She led me somewhere and let go.
"Now open your eyes!!" She yelled. I opened my eyes to see our truck. They had painted it Purple and had put a cursive DC on the side. It was beautiful. Emilie, Elizabeth, and Brianna all stood next to it, smiling. I gave each of them a big hug and thanked them greatly. I couldn't have asked for a better day.
