Inside the bedroom, Marie was panicking. What would they do once they got through the door? Knowing them as well as she did, she guessed they'd make her take the rat vial, or worse...the cockroach vial. She had to think of something to even the odds.
She opened the window and jumped out, scampering to the front door and opening it quietly. While the other four Maries were preoccupied with pounding on the bedroom door, she snuck into the living room and found the female human vial. She took a swig, then waited for the division. Once it happened, she took it again and passed it to her double. They continued duplicating until there were eight of them. Smelling victory in sight, they posed for attack. One Marie ran into the hallway.
"Hey! I'm not in there anymore, doofuses!" She let the four opposing Maries chase her into the living room, where they were stopped short by seven more children.
The shock on the four Maries' faces signaled their victory. The eight girls prepared for a showdown.
"So, whatever you were going to do to us," one of the eight taunted, "I think we'll do to you."
