21 LGMS Seeks ULD

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE LGMS SEEKS ULD (LITTLE GIRL MAD SCIENTIST SEEKS UGLY LITTLE DOG) Franny stood in her yard. Cupid was no longer a threat and the kids were safe, but strewn on the lawn around her was the smoldering wreckage of her lab. She should have been the saddest little mad scientist ever.

第二十一章小女孩疯狂的科学家寻找丑陋的小狗弗兰妮站在院子里。 丘比特不再是一个威胁，孩子们也安全了，但在她周围的草坪上，散落着她实验室的残骸。 她应该是史上最悲伤的小疯狂科学家。

But she wasn't. She was happy. In fact, she was very happy. Igor was okay, and as smart as Franny was, she would never ever be able to explain why, at that moment, that was the most important thing. She stooped down and picked him up. He looked frightened and sad. "Um, thanks for saving my life," she mumbled.

但她不是。她很高兴。 事实上，她很高兴。 伊戈尔还好，尽管弗兰妮很聪明，但她永远无法解释为什么在那一刻，这是最重要的事情。 她弯下腰把他抱起来。 他看上去又害怕又悲伤。 “嗯，谢谢你救了我的命，”她咕哝着。

Igor trembled. He looked as though he would cry. "You know," she said, "we mad scientists are sort of excitable. And, uh, sometimes we say things that we don't really mean." Igor blinked. His eyes widened a bit. "And really, this is all mostly my fault. I'm the one that made the Manifester and the Biggerizer in the first place." Igor smiled a little.

Igor颤抖。他看起来好像要哭了。 “你知道，”她说，“我们这些疯狂的科学家有点容易激动。 而且，嗯，有时候我们会说一些言不由衷的话。” Igor眨了眨眼睛。他的眼睛睁大了一点。 “说真的，这主要是我的错。 当初是我造出了显能者和变大者。” 伊戈尔微微一笑。

"I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm going to need an assistant to help me get back to normal size and also help put this lab back together. "And, uh, I was thinking that I'd like you to be my assistant, if you want to. I'd really like it." Franny felt that strange rush of electricity surge through her again. There was something about revealing how she felt that was almost as powerful as feeling it.

“我想我想说的是，我需要一个助手来帮助我恢复正常的大小，并帮助我把这个实验室重新组合起来。 “嗯，我想让你做我的助理，如果你愿意的话。 我真的很喜欢。”弗兰妮又感到一阵奇怪的电流涌遍全身。 说出自己的感受，几乎和感受感受一样有力量。

And, incredibly, it seemed to have an effect on Igor. He sat up straighter. He somehow looked less ugly. His breath got better, and as he wagged his tail happily, dozens of fleas and ticks jumped off his back. They must have realized that Igor was no longer the type of dog that they could infest. "You're going to be the best lab assistant in the world," Franny said.

令人难以置信的是，它似乎对伊戈尔产生了影响。 他坐直了身子。不知怎的，他看起来没那么难看了。 他的呼吸变好了，当他高兴地摇着尾巴时，几十只跳蚤和虱子从他的背上跳了下来。 他们一定已经意识到，伊戈尔不再是他们可以骚扰的那种狗了。 “你会成为世界上最好的实验室助理，”弗兰妮说。

Igor jumped from her hand and immediately started to help clean up the yard He knocked a flask into a beaker, which blew up, leaving a twelve-foot-wide crater in the yard. "Okay," Franny said. "Maybe not the best. "But you'll be MY lab assistant."

伊戈尔从她的手中跳了起来，马上开始帮忙打扫院子。他把一个烧瓶撞进一个烧杯里，烧杯爆炸了，在院子里留下了一个12英尺宽的大坑。 “好吧，”弗兰妮说。“也许不是最好的。 “但你将是我的实验室助理。”
