MATILDA The Key
Dustin followed Molly after a long stare at Steve and met her sitting on a little chair in the secret room which leads to the underground. He sighed and breathed down heavily after putting his hands in his trouser pockets. He quietly sat on the ground besides Molly and cleared his throat. Molly looked at him and focused on the picture she was watching.“You know you can talk to me about anything anytime right?” he looked at her.“We didn’t grow up well like other kids” Molly said slowly.“What? Why’d you say that?” “You said I can talk to you about anything anytime”“That’s not what I meant”“I know” she chuckled and Dustin joined her.“I’m sorry” she said and Dustin looked at her.“About what?”“For not telling you about Cebus. Cebus… Cebus is like, my lifetime dream. I could even meet Billie Eillish there or more celebrities there” she added and sighed down.“Yeah”“I couldn’t have done what I did… I could have told you first before dad. You could have told me not to tell
MATILDA Emergency
“Okay this is the plan, we go to the museum, we wait till a buyer purchases the clock. Mrs. Brooks you will confront and confuse the buyer and his crew, if he or she has one”“Why me, why should I do that?” Mrs. Brooks asked Eunice.“Because you are pregnant, they won’t hurt you”“You sure about that?”“It will be fine mum, just trust the process” Matilda joined.“Okay” Mrs. Brooks sighed slowly.“Then, I and Matilda will join in like emergency cross stuff or as full hospital nurse and help you up after you pretend to be sick after having a jam with the buyer”“What?”“So… we could have a chance to grab the clock”“Is that all? Is that the plan?” Mrs. Brooks asked Eunice.“What?”“That doesn’t sound like a plan at all” “Okay tell us yours then” Eunice stared at Mrs. Brooks and Matilda.“Sick” Matilda sighed.“Look, what if… what if we just borrow 10,000 bucks from a bank or any rich business man and buy the clock ourselves from the museum instead”“Mum?”“What? It’s a great ide
MATILDA Barefooted
“Wakey wakey little prince the school bus is coming, it’s speeding speeding speeding up and you don’t want to miss it. The driver won’t wait for you, he is always angry because his own kids missed hi bus. Wakey wakey little prince the school bus is coming. It’s speeding….”“Oh stop talking” Matilda groaned tiredly, covering her ears with her pillow but the electronic parrot kept singing.“He is always angry because his own children missed hiiiiisss” the electronic parrot hissed on the floor after Matilda attacked with her shoe which she threw at it.“Gross” she sighed heavily, climbed down from the bed and headed out of the room barefooted. Scratching her messed up hair, she headed down to the dinning.“She’s out, she’s awake” Steve said slowly as Matilda was approaching the family.“Mum, I didn’t tell you anything” Will whispered to their mother.“It’s okay darling, I got this”“Mum” Will simpered slowly.“Hey sweetheart, are you…did you just come out of your room barefooted?” their
MATILDA The Clock
Matilda was at the café with Steve, both wearing the designed apron. Matilda was at the counter pouring the tea while Steve was busy serving the customers. A skinny teen about her eighteen and his brother who was same age with Steve came into the café and sat on the table beside the door. The boy was carrying a blue back-pack “Two cups please” Molly said, after a soft yawn. “Coming here is not a good idea Molly, we discussed that we are going home straight” Dustin said to Molly. “We won’t waste much time, just a hot coffee” Molly said to him. “Relax, nothing is ever going wrong, we are at a safe place. I don’t even trust that clock” “You don’t believe it?” “It’s not real until I see it happen” “Molly, I told you that it can only work if...” “Hey!” Molly interrupted. “Coming” Steve said, heading towards Matilda. “Theirs?” Steve pointed at the cups of coffee in a little red tray. “Yeah, for the two kids” She groaned. “I’m leaving” Matilda added. “What? You are lea
MATILDA Oh My Baby
Matilda, Dustin, Steve and Molly came out of the café and headed east.“Where are we going to exactly, if I may ask?” Molly broke the frustrating silence.“Home” Matilda replied slowly.“What do you mean? What home?” Molly asked again.“Our house, she means” Steve answered Molly.“To do what? To go and sleep? Or do you guys have a painting house, maybe we are going to your house to paint? We should be looking on how to get our stupid asses out this boring past” Molly rushed with scoffs.“Look Molly, if you fucking know any other stupid way to get your stupid fucking ass out of here, then do it. I will fucking do my own my way” Matilda turned to her spoke to her face.“Do you even have a plan? Weirdo”“To meet my mum and talk to them”“To meet your mum in this past? You think she will remember you or is she s fortune teller?” Molly smiled.“Come on Molly, let’s stick to the first plan. If it doesn’t work out then we look for other ways to get out of here” Dustin whispered to Molly.“
MATILDA How Do We Get Back?
“Did I become a professor? Like…like I always wanted. Forget about the café, I was only opening it for your mother” Brooks said to the kids that were sitting on the sofa at the dinning of the house.“You are a manager Dad” Steve replied.“After all my school?”“Please Brooks family, how I get back to my other life? I’m bored here” Molly interrupted.“I have a date mum” Matilda said and Dustin stared at her.“She already knows. Will told her this morning” Steve replied.“What?”“My daughter has a date?” Mrs. Brooks smiled.“Yeah, the one in your belly” Molly hissed imperceptibly.“What did I, I mean we.. we name you?” Brooks asked Matilda.“Matilda” Matilda replied.“See? I won” Brooks chuckled.“Steve” Steve dropped.“Nah we don’t know you yet. No competition for your name yet” Brooks said and Matilda cleared her throat.“What?” Steve winked at Matilda.“Sorry, I’m gonna ask this question again. How the fuck do I get back to my life that I lived this morning? This place is fucking si
MATILDA The Twins
“Okay here’s the plan. We will all go to Molly’s house, look for the dad and ask him about the clock” Brooks said.“My dad is a crazy scientist. He might know that I and Molly are his children and he might sense that something is wrong” Dustin said.“Then it will be fine. Who wouldn’t want his children back to where they deserve?” Mrs. Brooks corrected.“My Dad won’t. he’s a crazy scientist”“Stop calling him that” Molly said slowly.“When were you born?” Brooks asked Dustin.“Twins, born March 2003”“Twins?” Steve was surprised.“Which means that you both are only seven months old. I don’t think he will recognize” Mrs. Brooks smiled.“That’s a bad idea, totally a bad idea” Matilda joined.“Tell us, what is a good idea Tilda?” Molly scoffed at Matilda“Don’t abbreviate my name”“Don’t you have a good idea please?” Molly continued.“What if he hasn’t gotten the clock yet or don’t know about it yet? None of us is sure about it” Matilda looked at them.“When were you when we said that t
MATILDA A Secret Lab
Doctor Peter giggled at them and frowned at the same time. Mrs. Brooks was shivering slowly while Molly and Dustin were trying to hide their face from their father’s stare.“Hey Doctor Peter, I…we are really sorry for invading like this but trust me, we are not invaders. We are just some fellow scientist who have heard about you and came to see what we heard” Brooks said slowly. Doctor Peter looked at him and brought out the smile again.“Well…you came at the right time” Doctor Peter smiled at them and they all returned the smile.“Follow me and I will show you around my secret lab” he continued and headed into one of the rooms of the house. Mrs. Brooks looked at Eunice slowly and said to her. “I’ll explain later, I promise”“He didn’t recognize us?” Molly asked Dustin.“Don’t be convinced yet, you and I knows how tricky he can be” Dustin replied.“He didn’t recognize them?” Steve asked Matilda.“Something is not right, I can feel it”“Can’t we just terminate our already ter
