Chapter 1

As I stood there, watching all the people walk past me as if I was just casual air, I got the sudden hope that what I was seeing, I wasn't imagining.

I don't know why I wanted it to be real, it was actually a horrifying sight. I just wanted to know if it was real, and I wasn't just imagining things, and since I do so a lot, I wanted to make sure that this time, I wasn't erroneous.

I monitored it carefully, making my eyes lazy so it blurred a bit, and nothing would stand out at the peculiar sight. I couldn't stop my eyes from staring eventually. My eyes just wouldn't peel away.

The blimp was large. Way too large for comfort. With his face stamped on the side. It was hideous. Who in the whole galaxy would pay for a blimp with his face on it. He was horrible. An agrivating nucence. Absolutely terrible.

He was also my brother.

And the mayor of town.

Even worse.

We have been mortal enemies for the past fifteen years, and the problem? I don't even know why we hate each other. But ever since our fued began, it's been like war. My brother has sent endless robots and gadgets after me, and his little minions after me. His goal in all, to destroy me.

His two minions are the worst part of all.

Minion and Minionette.

A.K.A, Eugene Collins and Victoria Welsh, two of my oldest companions. Until they joined my brother's side. The story goes like this: We were all hanging out at my apartment after a long day of fighting my brother's robot's. The times were good. Almost great. I was with Victoria, and I was planning on proposing to her, fore I did love her with all my heart. Then Eugene and I had been friends for many years, and he and I always had each other's backs, until that day... I decided that the crew deserved a grand feast for our splendid work that day. I told the two of them to wait in the living room while I started the food, I walked into the kitchen to get the supplies for dinner, but at one point, I heard whispers exiting the living room, and I listened into them; ignoring the fact I was spying on my two closest companions.

"Eugene, darling, we need to tell him sooner or later about us. We can't keep our love from him forever. He must know." I heard Eugene exhale deeply, with following moments of uncomforting silence.

"I know, my dear. We will tell him, but we must wait till the time is right." He finished with another sigh. I peeked around the corner, to see them sitting on my couch, caressing each other.

"Ok. But when the time is right." Victoria said smiling.

"Good, now."

At that moment, I certainly felt my heart shatter, as I watched my girlfriend, and my best friend, kissing on my couch. I felt as if everything I ever knew, was all a lie. I reached into my pocket, and felt the velvet box that contained the diamond ring I was going to propose to Victoria with, and looked back at the couple on the couch, continuously kissing and caressing.

How long had this affair gone on? How could they keep this from me after all these years? I truly felt- betrayed.

Eventually, I couldn't take watching them, and I took a step into the living room doorway, so I was sure to be seen. But they were so involved, they didn't even notice me standing there, watching them. I coughed a little, to get their attention. They still didn't notice me.

I took another step into the room and coughed a little bit louder, and instantly, they peeled apart Both looked at me, startled.

"Did I miss something?" The words came out with such pain in each syllable.
