A/N: this is a continuation to the 'insane again' chapter and it's mainly just Hope preparing her will.

"Ok, you wanna tell me how you made mom mad?" Calico gritted through his teeth.

"You were the one who said mom liked surprises!" Hope whispered-yelled at him.

"I didn't mean, this kind of surprise," Calico said, wiping a bit of goo off his hands. "Ok, if I'm right, Mom will be here in three minutes. We gotta get out of here,"

"One problem, baby bro, she's out there and we're in here. If we go out there, we'll basically be walking targets!"

"Which is why we're jumping out the window," Calico said, pointing to the window.

"Pardon?" Hope sputtered.

"That's right," Calico said, taking some rope from under his bed. "Grab that bag near the desk,"

Hope did as she was told and was struggling to lift the heavy bag. She swung it to her brother's feet and she fell to the ground. Calico began taking rocks out of the bag and placing them in a net.

"'Entrapta's not that obsessed with First Ones' tech,' She said. 'She-Ra wouldn't turn evil as long as we lived,' mama Adora said. But what do I know?" Hope said as Calico was tying a knot.

"Will you shut up, you airhead?" Calico said, stuffing her mouth with a rag from the floor.

Hope spat out the rag. "No, airhead! If I'm about to die, I'll die the one who was right for once." Hope panted.

"You just make it your wish and you can die a trash mouth if you don't listen to me," Calico snarled at his sister.

"What do we do?" Hope asked anxiously.

"Listen, mom's gonna head in this direction from the dining room and once she's here, we're gonna jump out of the window and once we jump, the rope tied to the door will drop rocks and possibly knock out mom for a short while,"

"Why and where you get so many rocks?" Hope asked

"I was a complicated toddler if you ask me,"

Calico tied a knot around his sister's ankle.

"Calico, I still don't see how suicide is gonna solve anything!" Hope said, looking at the window and back at her brother.

"No, once we jump, we're gonna land on those bushes. Trust me, we'll be fine," Calico noted, making sure the knots were tight enough. "The rope around our ankles is gonna make sure we land together instead of landing in separate locations,"

"What if we miss the bushes?"

"If I don't make it, tell Echo she can have the books I wrote," They heard a booming, angry cry coming from around the corner.

"She's coming," Hope stares out the window before jumping. "I call keeping your crayons!" She jumped out of the window with Calico following.

Just like Calico said, they landed in the bushes giving them tiny scratches.

"You know when I nearly landed, my whole life flashed right before my eyes. I eat way too much ice cream," Hope said, staring into the clouds.
