An Attack Helicopter Brought us Together

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Penelope POV

"YO!" Emily screeched, "WAKE UP PENELOPE!"

"What?" I spluttered, waking up. "What's wrong?"

"NORTH KOREA KNOWS WHERE WE ARE!" Beverly continued, "We gotta leave the country now!"

"But the attack helicopter-"

"It's okay," Emily dismisses. "I've watched tons of youtube tutorials on how to build an attack helicopter out of lego. It can't be too different, can it?"

"Yes Emily, it can," Ember interjected, "but what other choice do we have?"

"Wait, so we're going to have to go and tell BTS that we're leaving?" Beverly asked, "b-but... MY LOVE!"

"If you don't shut up about him, I will stick breadsticks up your eyeballs!" Serena cut in.

"FUCK YOU!"

"Shut it, both of you," Emily snapped. "This is a big deal, if we don't leave now, we could get executed!"

"No," Beverly cuts in. "I'm going to murder you Serena, YOU TOOK MY LOVE AWAY FROM ME!"

"No one took anyones love away from anyone-"

"Can we have this discussion later? Preferably when we're all safe?" Ember meekly suggested.

"Fine," they both said in unison.

"Right kiddos," Emily started. "Tons of equipment was damaged in the helicopter crash, so we're going to have to steal or somehow get more parts. We need a new bombing system, a new GPS, seats, a working engine, and while we're at it, a second engine just in case something goes wrong. Also, adding some upgrades, a new machine gun would be great!"

"How are we supposed to get that stuff?"

"We steal it!" Emily explains, "or we could just ask the manager."

"Wait, what?"

"I'm sure we could just tell him we were using it for a new music video or something. He's got an IQ of 40."

"Wait, he has the intelligence of a 40 year old? Isn't that good?" Beverly quivers.

"Beverly, the average IQ is 100."

"But I took an IQ test a couple of days ago, it said mine was 20!" Beverly continued.

"You're dumb as hell, bitch," Serena seethed. Beverly lunged at her, but was pulled back by Emily as Ember pulled back Serena.

"COME AT ME, BITCH!" Serena wailed, "YOU'RE SUCH A COWARD!"

"ALRIGHT STOP IT, BOTH OF YOU!" Emily screeched, "if you don't make up and start being friends again, I WILL THROW YOU BOTH OFF THE BUILDING AND FRAME JUNK!"

"Hey, don't bring me into this!" Junk suddenly said out the corner, "I had nothing to do with this!"

"I don't really care," Emily admitted. "Anyways, you two? SHUT IT! IF YOU DON'T, I WILL SHOOT YOU WITH MY PISTOL!"

Emily went to go aim on the window behind Beverly, but Junk held her arm and stopped her before she could.

"Seriously, please don't."

"Fine," Emily grumbled, putting away her pistol.

Did Emily just listen to someone? Especially him? AWWWW, THEY'RE SO MEANT FOR EACH OTHER!

I start squealing from the cuteness of this moment, but Emily points her pistol on the wall behind me, and Junk doesn't try to stop her this time.

"Do it," Junk expressionlessly says.

I know I'm supposed to be scared, but AWWWWWW! THEY'RE FINALLY GETTING ALONG! I start squealing even louder, and I start sketching out ideas in my mind for their wedding. Emily doesn't shoot her pistol, but instead she puts it away. She must know that it's a losing game anyways, but Serena tells me to shut up and that kind of just ruined the vibe.

Ember goes on the phone to the manager, and 30 minutes later he shows up at the apartment with all the things we had ordered. Emily snatches them off, and goes to the roof of the apartment to work on the attack helicopter and assemble everything. She orders us to all pack our things for us to leave, and she gets me to call the manager and tell him that we're leaving.

I tell him really cheerfully and politely, but he gets offended and thinks that since I'm delivering the news in such a cheerful manner, it means that we don't want to be kpop stars anymore. He starts crying over the phone, and I start crying along with him too. We cry for a good 7 minutes before he hangs the phone up from pure sadness.

As I wipe tears off my eyes, Suga peeks around the corner to ask whether I'm okay or not. I tell him to go away because I'm taken, and he walks away muttering about how I'm just overreacting and he doesn't have any romantic interest in me. He's probably just sad to get rejected, but anyways, soon Ember and Serena finish packing our things. Emily comes back from the roof to sleep, tired from building the attack helicopter from hand.
