Sisters No More

Chapter 6: The Plan (Marie)

After about an hour, Sheldon and Marina came back to the News Studio.

"Well we figured it out," Sheldon said. "And fortunately for you, it's going to be a lot easier than we thought to get rid of your brainwashing."

"How are you going to do it?" I asked him.

"We were able to reverse engineer these goggles to wipe out any unnatural brain waves," Sheldon explained. "Now you might say, 'but the goggles are different from the shades.' Don't worry, the technology used for the shades was actually the same in the goggles. It was just updated to leave after effects, like what you're experiencing Marie. So yeah, it'll work."

"Let's get it over with then," I said. 

"Okay, take a seat and I'll put the goggles on you," Sheldon instructed.

I sat down in a chair and after a few final checks, Sheldon put the goggles on me. I instantly felt a headache rush to me, but nothing else. A few minutes passed, with Sheldon checking a tablet with what I'd assume to be some brain wave tracker or something. A few minutes after that, Sheldon took the goggles off of me and my headache disappeared.

"You should be all good," Sheldon said.

"I better be," I said.

"So Marie, what's that plan of yours?" Pearl asked.

"Oh, yeah," I remembered. "I know how to make this up to Callie."

"Spill the beans," Pearl urged.

"So obviously I don't want to reveal to the world that I was brainwashed, so I'm going to tell them that it was a hoax. Sure, it might get me some hate, but it's better than Callie getting it. What we'll do is set up a stage in Inkopolis Square and have everyone come. There, I'll explain that it was a hoax and that Callie is innocent. I already sent Agent 4 to look for Callie."

"When are we going to do this?" Sheldon asked.

"Tomorrow at one," I said.

"Where will we get the stage?" Sheldon also asked.

"Me and Pearlie can bring one from our concerts!" Marina offered.

"Perfect," I said. "I need to call Agent 4 so when he finds Callie, he can tell her the time."

I pulled my phone out and called Agent 4.

"Hey Marie," he said.

"Hey 4," I responded. "Have you found Callie yet?"

"No, but I have an idea of where she is."

"Good. But I need you to do something when you find her."

"What is it?"

"Tell her to be in the plaza at one tomorrow. Just tell her that I'm going to make it up to her. Nothing else. Okay?"

"Yeah, got it."

"Thanks 4."

I hung up looked over to the others. "Okay, guys, we need to set this thing up."

"Okay! Come on Pearlie, let's get the stage!" Marina exclaimed, and ran out the door with Pearl close behind.

"Sheldon, make some flyers, print them out, and put them around the square. They just need to say that the video is a hoax and that I'm going to explain why."

"Okey dokey," Sheldon said, and he was off.

This left me to spread the word on social media, the same way this all started.
