I have been *cRYING* for THIRTY MINUTES!!! 

No jk haha, I've been crying for about six days, and you may wonder what got me in this situation... I watched Avengers: Endgame.

Am I mentally and emotionally okay? No.
Will I ever be? Probably not.

I loved that film 3000 and no other film will ever top that.

Chapter 9: Ocean

---------------

Mr. Hargreeves had his journal in front of him, his hand flying over it with cursive writing. His pen flew into his inkwell repetitively every ten seconds.

He was pulled out of his routine when someone knocked on his door three times.

"Come in."

The door opened to reveal his assistant, Pogo. The chimpanzee quickly closed the door behind him and hurried over to his master's desk, where Mr. Hargreeves had continued scribbling notoriously.

"Sir, I do believe I have some interesting information for you." He lowered his head. The old man put his journal aside, putting a book weight on it to hold it open. He wouldn't want the ink to be ruined by clumsiness. He readjusted the monocle on his left eye and sat up straighter.

"Go on."

"I was in the library, sir, when I heard footsteps coming my way. I decided to hide behind a shelf so they wouldn't see me in there. It was Number Five and Number Seven. At first I thought nothing of it but then they opened the secret door. Behind the bookshelves. They know of the greenhouse, I'm certain."

"How could you let this happen?! They are not allowedin any of those rooms. They are hidden for a reason!" An ugly veinpopped on his wrinkled forehead, his frustration showing. "Tell me what theywere planning. I assigned you to look after them, Pogo."

"Five is planning to find out where the flowers come from, sir," Pogo said, avoiding the factthat he hadn't been in that place for almost four years now, even though his master had assigned him to check up on it every week. "Oh! And I mustn't forget, Numbers Two, Four and Six saw them entering the tunnels, so it is only a matter of time before they all find out about the greenhouse and...the other ones, sir."

"I'll see to it that this problem is fixed. Make sure they don't find any of the other ones or it will cause evenmore complications." Pogo nodded curtly and left the office.

Five and Vanya burst into the Flower House, inhaling the sweet scent of the unknown flowers. Vanya went to sit on a pale pink bench she had installed when she was ten. With the amount of time she spent in here, she needed some place where she could sit comfortably, rather than sitting on the dirty tables, covered in soil and whatnot. 

Five darted to the more exotic looking flowers in the back of the greenhouse. He hoped there would be some clue there to help him on his way.But as he inspected everything, he found there were no nameplates, or evenprice stickers at the bottom of the pots. Nothing.

How was he going to win this bet? 

Maybe if he ate one of the flowers, he could figure out what the effects were and search for any specific plants that showed the same effects... No. Dumb idea. He was starting tosound like Klaus. Eating random things he knew nothing about could kill him andthen he'd never win the bet.
