Mary's POV:
I supplied this quivering, worthless mortal with life. I sacrificed a morsel of my very own soul to bring him high. And this is how he is repaying me? If he thinks that threatening to steal my fiancé is going to bring me down, he is only preparing to fall flat on his face in failure. He isn't at all like Tex. Tex was my friend and he would've been happy for me.
I have the intense urge to kill Tex 2.0 and convert the body back into my own clone just to get rid of him, but I'm afraid that if I do, Michael will die and stay dead even after I convert the body. I would rather not take the risk, so I'm just going to fight Tex 2.0 and contain him.
I look at Michael and he looks at me, frightened. I turn to face 2.0 and ready my hands for whatever kind of magic I'll need to conjure.
2.0 begins to walk over towards Michael, and I am just about to fire ice at him when he bends down and picks up the wedding dress. He unravels the plastic and takes the dress off of the hanger. Then he takes off his shirt, like he's about to put the dress on. As he reaches for the gown, I thrust my hand outward towards the dress. I motion upwards and the gown flies into the air. I've discovered a new power...
I make the dress rise high and float over to my side. 2.0 looks disturbed.
Once the dress lands at my feet Michael picks it up and shuffles aside, at a safe distance.
2.0 looks at me with crazed eyes, and just as he is about to lunge at me, I freeze his lower half. With a flick of my wrist, I force his hands behind his back, and freeze them there, too. I fetch some rope and tie his arms together, then his ankles. Then I summon ice and make it cover him all over, so he's entirely immobilized.
"Would you like some ice for that burn?" I say, feeling clever. Michael high fives me.
"Let's lock him up," he says.
We begin to scoot the giant block of ice containing 2.0 towards some empty room Michael says is just down the hall.
Once we are rid of the creepish fiend, we return to the living room and rest.
I plop down on the couch and sigh.
"That was... Scary," Michael says with wide eyes.
"Yep, but I took care of it," I respond.
"So... Wedding... When do you want to do it?"
"Whenever..." I say awkwardly.
"How about in a couple days? On Friday," Michael says.
"Sure," I start, "we'll get some of the clones to set it up and everything."
"And also to play the piano, and be the priest," Michael adds, laughing.
"Hm. Well, I guess we better go tell them what to do then," I say and stand.
"Let's go," Michael says, holding his arm out for me to link mine within. I do, and we leave the house, an awkward couple and the last human beings on earth.
