He wants to find out if the gun really works, but not out in the open. He quickly runs inside. "Hey Dylan can you help me.." his mother says holding a heavy laundry basket. "Not now mom!," he just walks past his mom ignoring Helen calling him back. He has more important things to do. He goes upstairs and walks into his six year old sister's room. Fleur is playing with her garden kit, which contains little actual plants. Perfect, just what he needs.
Dylan grabs a small plant from the kit and ignores his protesting little sister. "Hey! Mommy! Dylan is being mean!," Fleur starts to cry and runs away. Dylan doesn't care and quickly goes to his own room. He puts the doll on his desk and brings up the gun. "Let's see if it works," he aims the gun at the small plant and fires.
He watches excited as a beam shoots out of the device and hits it. Surprisingly it starts to change instead of melt. The boy can't believe his eyes. Slowly the little thing begins to expand. It grows from the size of a weed to a small bush. Strangely enough the plant's pot didn't grow with and broke during the growth process.
"Dylan!," his mother yells from downstairs. "Shit," he has to hurry he wants to test the other button too. He quickly presses the other button and pulls the trigger. Now the plant shrinks back to it's original height. Just in time as Helen is coming up the stairs. In the doorway little Fleur stared at him, her eyes wide open. Did she see what happened? He hopes not, cause she is quite a telltale.
A few minutes later Dylan is lying on his bed. His mother came in and took the gun from him before he even got a chance to explain or fire it at her. She told him he'd get it back as soon as he was going to act normal again. Pff! Dylan would just wait for a few hours and apologize, then after getting the gun back he will show them. Not surprisingly he falls asleep.
