Arabella's POV

"What are you doing?" I asked Henry, who was trying to pry open a large crate with a hammer. Henry tossed the hammer and sat on the crate with a shrug as I approached him.

"Nothing," he casually said and I folded my arms giving him a look. "Just, uh, just chilling... on this sick cube shaped wood chair."

I nodded at this, "that crate belongs to my dad."

Henry made a face, "how am I supposed to know that?"

"It says 'Property of Ray Manchester," I informed him, gesturing to writing on the crate.

"For all I know, you could've written that just now," Henry remarked and I raised my eyebrow inching closer to him.

"So, why'd you throw that hammer across the room?"

"Because it was asking too many questions, Arabella," Henry retorted, standing up and looked down at me. "Which you are also doing. Boom!"

"Henry!" I exclaim, "what you are doing is wrong, you can't open someone's crate with a hammer."

Henry looked away in shame, "I know."

I then pulled out a crowbar, "you gotta use a crowbar."

Henry's face lit up as I walked over to the crate, "yes! Amazing turn!"

I laughed, "I know!"

"You were like, 'you can't open someone else's crate," Henry repeated.

"I said that," I grinned.

"And you were like 'psych, crowbar!" Henry continued.

"That was the turn," I replied and he gave me a soft smile.

"I'm marrying the right girl," he sighed and I giggled lightly.

"I'm marrying the right guy."

Suddenly the elevator doors opened and in walked Charlotte, Jasper, and Piper with a giant drill hammer. Henry and I tossed the crowbar to the side and casually stood there.

"Step aside!" Jasper called.

"Drill hammer coming through!" Piper added.

"What's up my dudes," I greeted casually and accidentally stumbled into Henry, who pushed me off.

"What are you guys doing?" Henry asked the trio.

"Stop lying," Piper cut in as they set down the drill hammer.

"Yeah, we tried to open Ray's big cube shape chair too," Jasper mentioned.

"Didn't work," Charlotte added on.

"But, the crowbar didn't work," Piper began. "So, we went home and grabbed my Jill Hammer."

"What's a Jill Hammer?" Henry asked.

"A jackhammer for her," Piper explained and I chuckled.

"Jack and Jill went up the hill," I began to sing as the others bickered over whether it made sense or not.

"Are you guys done trap flapping, because I'm about to drill this crate wiiiiiiiiide open!" Piper announced and we cheered and hollered for Piper as she drilled the crate with the Jill hammer. "Here we goooooo-"

"What are you guys doing?"

Piper immediately stopped drilling and we turned to Schwoz, who had just walked out of the back, and we turned to him casually.

"Jack and Jill went up the-" my words got cut off when Henry covered my mouth and I groaned against his hand.

"What are you doing?" Charlotte asked Schwoz.

"We're just chilling," Jasper told him.

"You guys, you can't open Ray's crate with a jill hammer," Schwoz began and Henry uncovered my mouth that was wielding a smirk.

"Sick turn coming," Henry mumbled to me.

"I know."

"You need to use an ionizing mega magnet," Schwoz finished and we all cheered for the sick turn he just did.

"Let's gooo!" I cheered.

"Turn!"

"Nailed it!" Charlotte beamed.

"Boom!" Henry and I laughed.

Schwoz walked over the crate with the magnet, "this magnet is so powerful it will suck the nails right out of the crate."

I laughed, "yesssssss!"

"That way we can see what's inside then nail it shut again and Ray will never know we opened it," Schwoz explained and I was absolutely in love with this idea.

"WOOOOO!" I cheered happily.

"Great plan!" Henry agreed.

"Love it!" Jasper beamed.

"Your brain is so stupid," Piper smiled at Schwoz.

"I don't know you guys-"

All of us groaned dramatically at Charlotte and I fell to the floor in agony.

"What about the plate in Jasper's head?" Charlotte asked us and I stood to my feet next to her.

"Huh?" I questioned, staring at Jasper's odd head.

"I'm sorry, what?" Henry asked.

"Jasper has a metal plate in his head, remember?" Charlotte walked over and knocked on his head, which sounded like a metal plate echoing.

None of us remembered this and denied Charlotte.

"I think I would've remembered that important fact of a metal plate inside someone's skull," I mentioned between the bickering.

"Jasper, you know this," Charlotte told Jasper. "You were trying to teach that donkey how to kick a field goal-"

"Ahhhh! I've taught a lot of animals how to kick things. Let's open this crate!" Jasper exclaimed with enthusiasm.

"Open it!" Schwoz cheered and activated the magnet on the crate. Slowly, the nails began to float out of the crate and Jasper got lunged forward.

"Ahh, my metal plate!" Jasper called and I wrapped him in a tight embrace as Henry held his head away from the magnet.

"I told you," Charlotte said as Henry and I successfully pulled Jasper away from the crate, which had almost every nail gone.

"What are you guys doing?"

I looked toward the sprocket and say my dad and Mary- I mean, mother, walking toward us with Violet.

I keep forgetting Mary is my mom now.

Schwoz panicked and threw the magnet at Jasper's head, who groaned and fell to the ground.

"Mom! Dad!" I greeted happily as the others greeted them as well.

Henry removed the magnet from Jasper's skull and helped him to his feet.

"Where, uh, where'd you two come from?" Henry casually asked the couple before the crate opened and my eyes basically popped out of my head.

It was the Theranos Boot from the movie Eternity War.

Jasper gasped, "is that a Theranos Boot?"

"Like the one Theranos wears in Eternity War?" Henry asked as we slowly approached it.

"I love that movie," Schwoz gasped.

"That movie is my life," I mention. "I know every line from heart. Like, seriously, ask me."

"It's not like the Theranos Boot from Eternity War," my dad remarked, picking up the glorious boot.

"Turn coming," Henry muttered to me and my hand flew to my chest.

"Dude, I can't even right now."

"It is the Theranos Boot from Eternity War," my dad announced and we all gasped with shock, not believing our eyes.

I dramatically fell to the floor with absolute shock as we all began to freak out.

"OMG I'M CURRENTLY DYING!" I yelled out and Henry grabbed my arms, pulling me to my feet.

"Dude, how'd you even get that?" Henry asked my dad, approaching him and my mom. "This thing should be in the Museum of Awesome Things from Awesome Movies."

My mom walked over to me and greeted me with a smile, while Violet giggled happily.

"Oh, it was headed to Mat Fam, so the whole world could enjoy it," my dad remarked. "But then I bought it, so only I can enjoy it."

My mom cleared her throat, "what?"

"So, only Mary and I can enjoy it."

Mary smiled and I grinned.

"Kind of a jerk move, but I want to put it on," Henry tried to take the boot, but my dad moved it away and the rest of us complained about this.

"No, no, no, no," my dad said and we all stopped our bickering. "Only four people can touch this boot, Mary, me, myself, and I- Isha Thompson, who, of course, played Theranos in the movie."

"I object!" I objected.

"That's not fair!" Jasper complained and we all complained about the boot.

"Sorry," my dad shrugged, setting down the boot. "This boot is too valuable. I know you all been messing with my crate!'

We, besides my mom, muttered under our breaths and looked at the ground.

"That's right, look at the ground and mutter," my dad spoke and I rolled my eyes." And just know that no one is allowed to touch my Theranos Boot ever... besides Mary. Got it?!" He flicked Jasper's metal plate and he made a face at the sound, "now, I gotta go pick up a nuclear proof display case, I trust you all..."

"Turn coming," I muttered as he kissed Mary's cheek and hopped over to the elevator.

"To understand that," my dad continued and we all groaned. "If any of you so much as touch that boot... I will end you." He looked at Violet and kissed her head with a goofy smile "Except my adorable daughter."

"Hey..." I pouted and my dad looked at me.

"Don't be such a pouty puss," he told me and I rolled my eyes with a faint smile as he walked into the elevator, giving us a last look. "...end you."

The doors shut and I looked at my baby sister, "how dare you."

She gave me a goofy smile and giggled, which made me smile.

"I can't stay mad at you and I hate that."

"We're touching that boot, right?" Henry asked us and Mary was the first to respond.

"Yes," she nodded and that made Henry, Jasper, and I cheer as Piper walked past us.

"I don't know you guys," Charlotte reasoned. "Ray did use the words 'end you' and he only uses that when he's really serious about something."

"Too late!" We all turned to find Piper standing on the table with the boot on her foot, "I'm already touching it."

"Well, I tried," Charlotte shrugged.

"I am Theranos!" Piper announced and Henry, Jasper, and I grabbed on to one another as she spoke with a voice, "and this is how you change the world!"

"Theranos! You mad woman!" Jasper remarked with the voice of Thror.

(Thror is Thor)

"Prepare for your disruption," Piper smirked.

"No, Theranos don't disrupt us!" Henry pleaded with her and I grabbed his arm dramatically.

"It all changes... now!" Piper cried and slammed her foot on the ground, making all of us slowly and dramatically stumble back. All of us fell to the ground and Henry looked at me with sorrowful eyes.

"I love you, Bella," he admitted with his weak voice and I smiled, stroking his hair.

"I love you more, Henry," I replied before resting my head on his chest and he held my head close to him.

"Henry, I don't feel so good," Jasper said and my face fell at those words.

"Nope," I sighed, sitting up and pushed Jasper away from Henry and I. "Ruined the moment, bud."

——

Now, Jasper was wearing the boot and was dancing to a country song. He was actually really good at dancing and we were cheering him as he danced until it got really weird between him and Henry. I recorded this moment on my phone because it was a beautiful moment between the two boys. Jasper pretended to lasso Henry to him, but Henry wasn't having it.

——

"Up the tube!" Henry called as he stood inside of a tube with the boot on his foot and got shot up. "Aw, my Theranos Boot..."

The boot fell back down to the ground and the rest of us cheered with shock and excitement.

——

Charlotte was next and was about to kick a football through Henry and Jasper's arms, but Schwoz blew a whistle and we paused.

"Wait," he said and we heard the elevator drop to the ground. The doors opened and my dad marched out into the room, which made Charlotte quickly hide her foot behind a cart as he walked by.

"Forgot my wallet," my dad told us, not even acknowledging the scene in front of him and focused on grabbing his wallet. Once he grabbed his wallet, he walked right back to the elevator and went inside without noticing anything. "All the way there and had to turn back around... stupid!"

The doors closed and I exhaled with relief along with a very nervous mother of mine who didn't want to upset her husband.

The game resumed when Schwoz blew his whistle and Charlotte readied herself to kick the football. She missed the football and ending up kicking the boot off which hit Jasper in the face, who grunted with a stumble. I snickered at this and Schwoz put his arms up.

"It's good!"

We cheered again and I hi-fived Charlotte.

——

Jasper put on the boot again and decided to model for us on the Captain Manwalk and the rest of us muttered together on how he models the boot. I thought he was okay, but he could've put on a better outfit. Maybe a dress or a skirt would've shown off that boot more.

"Maybe a dress would've been better," I mentioned to my mom, who nodded.

"You're so right."

Jasper walked back and suddenly stopped, looking at the bottom of the boot.

"Aw, I stepped in some gum!" Jasper gasped and my eyes grew at the sight of the green gum stuck to the boot.

"Who put gum on the runway?" My mom asked as we began to stand up and I stepped on the runway to get a better look.

"Who cares it's on Ray's boot," Henry remarked.

"Well, get it off before he comes back," Piper ordered us and I touched the gum with my finger, feeling a bit of wetness. I cringed and stood up straight as Jasper put his foot down.

Ew.

"How?" Jasper asked her.

"Relax!" Schwoz called and we turned to find him holding a blue colored ray gun in his hands. "I can use this Freeze Ray to encase the gum in ultra ice, then we hit the gum with a hammer and it will shatter into a million pieces."

I helped Jasper walk off the runway, so he doesn't ruin the boot or hurt himself.

"Woah, there's not an easier way to get gum off the bottom of the boot?" Charlotte reasoned.

"Yeah, I'll just get a tissue," Henry suggested and walked over to the empty tissue box. He noticed and turned back to us. "It's empty. Let's freeze it."

"Violet gets running noses a lot," my mom informed us, using the last tissue on Violet's nose, who sneezed and all of us cooed at the sound she made.

"She's adorable, so it's excusable," Henry grinned, tickling Violet's tummy to make her giggle.

"Freezy, peezy," Schwoz said, getting the Freeze Ray ready and I moved over to Henry with my mom next to me.

"Make sure you only freeze the gum," Henry advised Schwoz, grabbing my arms to move me away if needed.

"I know how to use a Freeze Ray," Schwoz scoffed and rolled his eyes, muttering curse words under his breath.

"What did I do?" Henry asked with hurt in his voice, before Schwoz blasted the boot with the Freeze Ray. Henry moved me back as the ray did its magic on the boot, but instead of encasing the gum, it encased the whole boot with ultra ice.

Jasper shrieked and Schwoz stopped, squinting his eyes, "oops."

"This boot is freezing!" Jasper exclaimed.

"Get the gum off, Schwoz!" Charlotte exclaimed with panic, not caring that Jasper could get frostbite.

"Who cares about the gum! Get this freezing boot off my foot!" Jasper cried with agony before he began to kick his foot around to try to get the boot off.

I grabbed Henry's arm as we all cried to Jasper to stop before he lifted his foot and slammed his foot on the ground.

"Jasper!" I called and before you know it the boot got smashed into hundreds of pieces, leaving us all in shock and devastation.

"Hey, look!" Jasper smiled and picked up the gum, "the gum is still in one piece."

Jasper plopped the gum into his mouth and I cringed with disgust at this.

"Oh my gosh..." Mary gasped with disbelief. "Ray's gonna kill me."

"Mary, no he's not," I assured her, and I could see the panic on her face.

"Nope, that's not my gum," Jasper shook his head.

This cued all of us to scream and cry in agony, which made Violet cry as well.

——

"We can fix this. Right?" Henry mentioned as he dug through the smashed pieces of the boot. "Somebody shape this back into a boot."

I shook my head at Henry, who was desperately trying to reshape the boot and was failing. Mary was still panicking about the boot and put Violet down for a nap because we didn't need two crying girls here.

My dad won't get mad at her, it wasn't her fault.

"Schwoz, you got a boot shaping machine, right? Come on!" Henry frantically said, standing up and Schwoz made a face. "Science, science, science! Something about appliance."

"I told you, we should've never touched Ray's boot," Piper told us and I gave her a look of shock.

"Excuse me, Hart," I said.

"You were the first one to put it on," Jasper protested.

"Hey, I'm also the first one to leave," Piper shrugged and gave us a peace sign. "Peace, snitches!"

Piper ran toward the tubes, but Charlotte, Jasper, and I stopped her from doing so.

"No one is leaving until we fix this!" My mom announced, rubbing her forehead and I patted her back gently.

"How are we going to do that?!" Piper protested, "Schwoz's freeze ray turned ray's boot into a snowman poop!"

"Why don't we just go get another one before Ray get's back? They sell them everywhere," Jasper suggested.

"Those boots are just toys!" I remarked to him.

"Ray had the actual Theranos Boot from the actual movie," Henry explained and gestured to the smashed boot pile. "There's only one in the world." Henry smacked his face with sorrow and I went up to him. "And we ruined it."

"Calm down, hun," I shushed him, wrapping my arms around him and he returned the hug. "Don't cry."

"Yeah, dawg, when Ray gets back he's gonna end us," Piper added and my mom groaned, sitting at the table.

"This is all my fault," She admitted and I sighed, not knowing how I can comfort two people at once.

"I don't wanna be ended!" Charlotte cried and I let go of Henry, going up to Mary to try to comfort her.

"Well, me either," Jasper added.

"No, no, no, no one's gonna end and this isn't your fault, Mary," Henry assured us, and my mom looked at him with small hope. "Because Schwoz is gonna think of something that's gonna fix everything, right Schwoz?"

I pulled my mom to her feet and brought her over to the group, despite her sorrowful attitude. My mom will be last the person my dad would end if he did have to end all of us because he loves her the most. He loves me, but it's a different type of love with Mary.

Schwoz sighed, standing up, "listen, I think we all just need to tell Ray the truth, take responsibility, and accept the consequences of our actions. That's the only way to truly fix things."

We stared at Schwoz for a few moments, before bursting out into yelling and arguments about how wrong he is.

"Stop you're talking! That's enough!" Schwoz snapped at us and we became silent at his tone of voice. "Okay, I might have one idea for a way that we can..."

"What? What's the idea?" Henry asked him.

"Well, you're all familiar with universal dimensional duplicity, right?" Schwoz asked us and I was completely clueless, unlike my mom and Charlotte.

"Yes, very familiar," Charlotte said and my mom turned to us.

"Just say yes," she muttered and I nodded with a smile.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Totally!"

"It's my favorite duplicity!"

"Good, so you know that there are an infinite number of dimensions in the universe some of which are very similar to our own," Schwoz explained to us and I nodded, not understanding anything he was saying.

"Yes," Mary nodded.

"Yes, yeah, of course," Charlotte agreed and the rest of us agreed with them.

"So, we could use Bill Evil's Interdimensional Transporter..." Schwoz began and Mary beamed.

"To go to another dimension that's almost the same as ours and get their Theranos boot!" My mom finished for him

"Yes, another dimension like ours, but with a few small differences, like some people actually listen to Charlotte, Jasper and Bella are dating, and also act like cats," Schwoz explained and that caught my attention along with Henry's.

"What?" I said and turned to Jasper, who just shrugged with wide eyes.

"Come again," Henry smiled with slight irritation.

"You heard me," Schwoz nodded and I shook my head, not imagining myself dating Jasper. Wonderful guy, but the world wouldn't be able to handle our chaos together. It would explode.

"There's a dimension where you guys actually listen to me because I would love to go to that dimension," Charlotte rambled and we didn't listen to her

"Alright, so Jasper and I will go to the cat dimension," Henry confirmed and hi-fived Jasper as Charlotte clenched her fists in irritation.

"And take that Theranos boot!" Schwoz reminded them.

"And then we'll pop back here before Ray gets back!" Jasper added on

"Yes!" Schwoz grinned.

"This is a great idea, Schwoz," Henry praised the man. "I knew you had it in you."

"You really think so?" Schwoz smiled shyly.

"Yeah..."

"I've been having such confidence issues lately," Schwoz admitted and I rolled my eyes, not caring. "We could go back to the truth plan-"

"Nope, shut up! We're gonna do the dimension thing!" Henry announced, walking away from him.

"Yo, what do we do if Ray comes back before we're back with the boot?" Mary asked us.

"Uh, Airy, Piper, you both go upstairs to Junk'N'Stuff and stall Ray if he comes back before we're ready," Henry informed us and I nodded, but Piper protested.

"But, I have to go home, if I don't put dad down for his nap then mom can't go out for ladies night."

"I'll do that by myself," I offered. "Go home and put Jake to sleep."

"Thanks, girl," Piper smiled before we both headed toward the elevator together and headed up to the store.

——

Piper went home and I stayed in the store, waiting for my dad to show up. I hope he doesn't and this all goes to plan, but knowing us, it never does.

Right on cue, I saw my dad appear in the window and I smiled, heading for the door.

"It's go time," I say as I approach the door and my dad walked in with the case, but we bumped into each other. We both gasped at each other and he laughed, smiling at me.

"My bad, Cookie," He apologized. "Didn't see ya there."

"No, no," I shook my head. "My fault. My fault."

"It's okay, sweetheart, I'll just slide in on the side," he offered and I smiled with a nod.

"Wonderful," I say and we both turned the same direction, resulting in us bumping into each other again.

I laughed awkwardly and he made a face.

"Two times? Wow."

I nodded, "yeah, in a row."

"Crazy."

"Weird."

"How about this? I go right and you go left?" My dad suggested and I gave him a thumbs up.

"Right," I nod.

"Well, left," he corrected.

"Correct," I smile.

"Alright..."

"And go!" I say and we bumped into each other once again.

"Well, this is strange," my dad mentioned and I laughed, waving him off

"Right?" I say, "or left?"

I laughed at my own joke and my dad was heavily confused by what was going on.

"You got it?" I asked in between my laughter and he shook his head.

"But seriously, how long can this go on for?" He asked me with his smile fading.

"I guess we'll find out," I laughed and he awkwardly laughed with me, not enjoying this one bit.

Please hurry up with the boot.

——

~Forty-Five Minutes Later~

"....which will finally result with me being inside Junk'N'Stuff and you finally being outside of Junk'N'Stuff, finally," my dad explained to me, drawing the directions on a whiteboard that he bought and I nodded. "Got it?!"

Piper returned when my dad was gone and went down to the Man Cave, but I stayed here and waited for my dad to return. I have no reason to leave, just doing this to annoy my dad and stall him.

"You know what?" I began, "let's not overthink this, let's just walk through the door. Why does it need to be a big discussion?"

It looked like my dad had steam coming out of his ears and wanted to stab a child, but restrained himself as he spoke.

"Because we've been here for forty-five minutes now and still don't understand why you didn't leave when I went to get this whiteboard?!" He exclaimed with annoyance and I shrugged, leaning against the doorframe.

"You know what I think?" I asked him and he set down the marker, "I think you have been blocking me over and over again on purpose."

My dad made a face and couldn't find the strength to express his anger at me, so it left him stuttering with confusion.

"Like, for some reason, you don't want me to leave Junk'N'Stuff," I reasoned. "I thought we got past this when I turned fourteen, father!"

"What?! Why would I want that?!" He snapped with irritation, "I like it when you're not around sometimes!"

"Feelings mutual!" I argued back and my dad shouted, kicking the whiteboard over and I snickered under my breath.

"Just walk!" He gritted through his teeth, "walk with your feet!"

My dad grabbed his head and groaned, bending over. I grinned happily at this and felt proud of myself.

"That's it!" My dad snapped and before I know it, I was lifted into the air.

"Hey!" I called out, "this is kidnapping!"

"Shut up!" He yelled back and I called out as he carried me over to the elevator, ignoring my protests and kicks. He set me down and grabbed the case he bought earlier, giving me a stern look. "I don't know what is up with you young lady, but you will not do that again."

"You can't make me!" I exclaimed back and he flicked my forehead, "hey!"

"You're grounded."

I gasped dramatically, "I'm eighteen, you can't ground me."

"Break up with Henry."

"Grounding it is then," I quickly replied as the doors shut and we were shot down to the Man Cave.

The doors opened and we walked out, bumping into each other again and he groaned.

"Come on!"

I looked ahead to see everyone acting casual and like nothing had happened.

"Which is why I think Ray would win in a fight against a volcano," Henry finished and the others agreed with him as I walked over to my mom, who was incredibly nervous still.

"How'd it go?" She asked me and I gave her a look.

"I'm freaking grounded," I muttered and she rubbed my back.

"No, you're not," she remarked and I looked at her. "I'll fix that."

"Hey, Ray, didn't see you there," Henry greeted my dad. "Which is weird, because you're muscles are huge."

"I appreciate the compliment, but all I care about is my boot," my dad said and pushed Henry aside, looking for the boot.

"Well, it's right where you left it," Charlotte gestured to the Theranos Boot on the cart where my dad last left it. "As you can see."

My dad walked over to the boot and picked it up, "okay."

He looked at each of us, shook the boot, and then sniffed it. My dad gave it the nod of approval.

"...Okay."

The rest of us silently cheered to ourselves, but we were stopped when a giant portal appeared in front of us. We all became aware of the portal and suddenly 8 people, who looked exactly like us, appeared right in front of our eyes.

All of us were in complete shock at the sight and Henry moved me away from our different dimension selves. I think this the cat dimension where they listen to Charlotte and where Jasper and I are dating.

"Omg," My mom and I muttered together.

"Get your paws off my boot, right meow!" Cat Ray ordered and my dad glanced at all of us with confusion.

This is gonna take a lot of explaining to do.

——

"Henry." My dad said.

"Yeah?" Both Henrys replied.

"Can one of you tell me what in the Helena Bonham Carter is going on here?" My dad asked him.

"I got this one, Big Dawg," Henry offered.

"What did you just call me?" Cat Henry asked him.

"Um, listen, uh, quick but awesome story. We accidentally destroyed your boot," Henry confessed and I rolled my eyes, smacking Henry's arm.

"Dude!"

"What?!" My dad gasped and my mom slipped behind Jasper for a bit.

"We had a really fun montage before we did though," Jasper mentioned.

"Did you boot scoot and/or boogie?" Cat Jasper asked him.

"All three, cat me," Jasper grinned and I made eye contact with myself, who was holding onto Jasper's arm.

I'm not gonna get past the fact that different dimension me is dating Jasper and I don't think Henry is either.

"Why didn't you stop them?" Cat Charlotte asked Charlotte, who went up to her.

"I tried," she protested. "They didn't listen."

The cat versions of us were in disbelief and argued about why we don't listen to Charlotte. It's not that we don't listen, we just don't bother to care sometimes.

"They never do," Charlotte shrugged. "I thought being here Mary would help, but nothing!"

"Really?" Cat Charlotte asked, "I'm surprised they haven't blown up the Man Cave by now."

I looked around sheepishly and fiddled my fingers, "About that-"

"They have," Charlotte glared and neither of us made eye contact with the girl.

"It was a blast!" I chuckled.

"Do it again in a heartbeat!" My dad smiled.

"You guys are like wild animals!" My cat self insulted and I laughed, going up to her.

"Oh really?" I said and she walked up to me with a glare. "Last time I checked, I don't scratch on posts and eat cat food... kitten."

"You just messed with the wrong pair of claws, missy," she hissed and we were about to go down, but Henry dragged me away and Jasper pulled my cat self away. She continued to hiss at me and I snarled at her until Henry shushed me.

"Don't get so feisty," Henry whispered in my ear. "She's just some cat."

I folded my arms and Henry rubbed my arms, kissing my temple.

"When do I get my boot back?" Cat Ray asked my dad.

My dad grinned, "you boot? Excuse me, handsome, but this is my boot."

"Actual, I found a dimension that's just like ours, except people, listen to Charlotte, act like cats, and Jasper and Bella are dating," Schwoz explained to my dad and Cat Ray hissed.

"Who's dating who?" My dad asked.

"You heard me," Schwoz remarked.

"Yeah, he set me and Jasper there to get their Theranos Boot and bring it back here," Henry added on.

"Good thinking," Cat Schwoz praised Schwoz.

"Thank you, I've had such a crisis of confidence lately," Schwoz told Cat Schwoz.

"Me too-"

"Shut up, Schwozs!" Both Rays snapped and the Schwozs stopped.

"Ray, don't yell," My mom told my dad with a gentle voice.

"Yeah, don't be so rude," Cat Mary agreed and the two ladies smiled at each other.

"Does he do that a lot?" My mom asked Cat Mary, who nodded.

"Frequently," she replied and my mom shook her head.

"So does mine," My mom said and the Rays were offended.

"Hey..."

"How come I don't get along with my cat self?" I asked and still see my cat self hissing at me.

"So, you stole this boot from them?" My dad asked, staring at the boot with confusion.

"Uh, yeah," Henry nodded and turned away.

"So, it's mine now?" My dad questioned.

"No," Cat Ray denied.

"Yes, it is gorgeous," my dad argued.

"Now, you listen to me, stunner," Cat Ray started and I raised an eyebrow. "You take those strong, masculine yet surprisingly soft hands and you give me back my boot."

Is this an argument or how much can you complement each other in a sentence?

"Come and get it, hottie," my dad challenged. "Henry!"

My dad tossed the boot in the air and Jasper caught it.

"Got it!" Jasper called.

"Aw, man," my dad sighed.

"Jasper, throw it to me!" Cat Piper called, but Jasper didn't know who was who.

"No, that's Cat Piper!" Charlotte called out before he tossed it and Cat Piper caught it.

"Meow-meow, baby," Cat Piper smiled and the cat people cheered as the rest of us were in dismay.

"Why didn't you listen to Charlotte?!" I asked Jasper.

"Because we never do!" He protested and Charlotte rolled her eyes.

"Get us out of here, Schwoz!" Cat Ray announced and Cat Schwoz pulled out a device.

"No!" My dad called before he ran over to take the boot, but Piper tossed it to Cat Ray. I then ran over, knocking it out of his hand and the boot landed in the middle of the floor and we all froze for a moment, before diving in to fight over the boot. I felt at least five hands touch places where I shouldn't be touched and felt cat me trying to rip my hair out.

What is this cat's problem? Not enough toys in her toy box to make her happy? Is Jasper not satisfying her needs?

"Time out! Time out!" Cat Ray called out to us and we all stopped, announcing it was time out and separating from one another. I checked my scalp to make sure my hair was in place and thankfully no hair was ripped out, but I will be hurting her for touching my hair.

Cat Ray checked the boot and gasped, "you broke my boot!"

I leaned forward and noticed one of the stones was missing.

"No, I didn't, you broke my boot!" My dad protested.

"Is it even broken?" Piper asked.

"Yeah, can't you just glue that jewel back on?" Cat Piper suggested.

"It's broken!" Cat Ray cried, throwing the boot down on the ground.

"I can still fix it-"

"It's worthless!" My dad cried, stomping on it and breaking it even more.

Just now realized how flimsy the boot is and how they used this is in a big action movie. What kind of budget are they on if they couldn't get a better boot to film with?

"Okay, now I can't," Schwoz retracted.

"Stupid!"

"I hate this boot now."

"I wish I've never seen it!"

"I can't play with this!"

"I don't want it anymore!"

"I hate you, boot! I hate you!"

"Thanks a lot, you guys!"

"Drama queens," I muttered and I heard my cat self say the same thing. She looks at me for a moment, before smirking and I smirked back.

She's an annoying cat, but we both have the same, overdramatic father to deal with.

"You guys broke the only Theranos Boot left anywhere," Cat Ray told us.

"Well..." Both Schwozs began.

"According to the theory of universal dimensional duplicity." Both Charlottes continued.

"There should be an infinite number universes," Both Pipers added on.

"Which means there should be an infinite number of Theranos Boots," Both Jaspers said.

"Hot," My cat self smiled and I cringed.

"No."

"So, you guys can just go to a different dimension and grab another one?" Both Henrys finished and I smiled.

"That was hot," I pointed out.

"No," my cat self denied and I glared at her.

"We're talking in unison," Both Henry's smiled when they realized. "This is so cool. Pineapple, Anderson Cooper. Whattttt?!"

Seeing two Henry's speak together? Lord, help me, I'm currently melting from the hotness right here.

I wonder if there's a Henry dimension I could go to. I'd marry every Henry there and not get bored of it.

Every Arabella's dream.

Chapters Remaining: 9 or 8

Yayyy another chapter is done and I was very excited to write this one. I thought the bit with Ray and Piper was hilarious and decided to put Bella in it, which added to it a lot. There may have been times where I mixed up Mary and mom, so remember they are the same person. Also got a few father and daughter moments as well, because we're gonna need to have those as the story comes to an end soon.

Sad times, I know:(

ALSO, PLEASE PLEASE GO READ MY MAZE RUNNER BOOK PLEASE. I've been working on it recently a lot and would love it if you all would read it. Whether you have seen or read the Maze Runner series before, please go check out my story and tell me what you think of it. Thank you:)
