10 They Get Carried Away Here

CHAPTER TEN THEY GET CARRIED AWAY HERE Igor quietly jostled Franny awake. Franny groaned. "What is it this time, Igor? A monster under your bed? I've told you a million times: We all have monsters under our beds. The lab is full of monsters. Now go back to sleep."

Igor shook Franny harder and harder until she finally woke up. "What is it?" she said angrily. Igor pointed at the Franbots. They were over in one little corner of the lab, going over some sort of plan. Franny slid out of bed and the two of them crept up close enough to overhear. "Franny is getting in the way of our pursuit of excellence," one of them said. "And we need to be excellent."

The other Franbots nodded in agreement. "So she must be neutralized." Igor gulped. "And then we'll neutralize Mom. It's just like Franny said: Mom can't keep up with us. She is getting in the way of our excellence." "NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EXCELLENCE," they all said together.

"Then we'll take care of her dad and her brother, and that weasel-dog she calls Igor." Igor knew he should have been insulted, but he kind of liked weasels. "And after that, we'll go after the rest of the world. The rest of the world could get in the way of our excellence, as well." Franbot Number Two flashed its robot eyes. "Is everything prepared for the neutralization?" it asked.

"Almost," said Franbot Number Three. "I will be using my excellent cooking skills. I hope they will both enjoy them." "Cooking skills?" Franny said. "Are they going to... eat us?"
