“Yeah it’s awesome!” Cried Phineas, “Come on, please? I haven’t seen my family in forever! I really miss them.” “Your family? What?” Questioned Gregory. ‘What? Oh nothing, uh, come on just take six pills, please?” Phineas pushed. “Oh, alright I guess so. It’ll only make things more fun right?” Gregory said. He grabbed the bottle of pills and counted out six into his palm. He placed the pills on the counter as he filled his extra tall glass with water and looked at the pills once more. Gregory raised the first two pills to his mouth and swallowed them. “Alright, keep it coming.” Phineas cheered. “Hurry before I go away!” “What do you mean go away Phineas?” Gregory asked. “You heard your dad, if you only take two pills I’m gone, that’s why you have to take six of them! Don’t you want to have fun…HURRY!” Yelled Phineas. “Okay, okay, I’m doing it!” Said Gregory as he raised the next two pills to his mouth. He swallowed them with one big gulp. All of a sudden…DING DONG. A doorbell went off in Gregory’s head. “Ooh I’ll get it!” Cried Phineas, “Mom and Dad! I’m so glad to see you!” “Well hello there son. How are you on this wonderful morning?” Phineas’ mother inquired. “Aren’t you going to introduce us to your friend?” “Oh yeah, yeah I forgot, Mom, Dad, this is Gregory, my best friend in the whole wide world!” Phineas said excitedly. Gregory had no idea what was going on. He was extremely confused and had no idea where Phineas’ parents had come from. “Go ahead Gregory, take the other two pills! Come one, come on!” Phineas exclaimed. Apprehensively, Phineas swallowed the other two pills. Before Gregory could even say ding-dong, Phineas’ brother and sister were standing with his mother and father. “Molly, Patrick!” Phineas cried, “I’ve missed you so much! “We’ve missed you too little bro- how’ve you been?” Patrick asked. “Wait a minute- what’s going on here Phineas?” Gregory butted in, “This is weird.” “Well, remember when your dad said that taking more than two pills would make things worse in your head?” Phineas explained, “Well he was right...you see, I didn’t exactly tell you the truth. Having more people in your head only makes you more schizophrenic, but I really wanted to see my family! I’m sorry. But look on the bright side, now, my whole family is here to stay with us!” “But I thought you said taking more pills would be awesome.” Gregory cried “You didn’t tell me I would have a whole family in my head.” “Are you saying that sharing your thoughts with our family is less than what you call ‘awesome’?” Gregory’s mother inquired. “I take great offense to that young man.” “Oh no, no that’s not it at all. It’s just that, well- I don’t know.” Gregory said confused. “I can’t take this.” At this point, Gregory began running around like a mad man in his back yard. He sprinted to the front of the house and ran down the street. He ran and ran for days, trying to be free from Phineas’ family, but wherever he went, they somehow followed. He drove himself crazy trying to outrun the family of four. Phineas’ brother and sister were constantly fighting for space. His sister would always yell “Move over Patrick, you’re taking up too much room!” and Patrick would reply with a loud and obnoxious cheering of “Molly’s a folly, Molly’s a folly!” He was even told what to do my Phineas’ mother. Every time he made a turn, Phineas’ mother would say “No, go that way!” or “Ooh look at those shoes over there” and other things of that nature. He even began to miss his own family because of how annoying Phineas’ family was becoming. Sadly, Gregory never saw his family again. Actually, Chet and Thelma never returned from their hunting trip. As it turns out, while hunting, Chet accidentally shot and killed Thelma. When he ran over to see if she was okay, Chet was attacked by a wild jackalope. He died also. In the end, Gregory dug himself a hole just on the edge of the forbidden forest, miles away from his house. He sat there for the rest of his life; all alone…well kind of.
