As Nelson ran carrying his imp sister Rene over his shoulder, he can almost swear he can hear her quietly giggling!
At that, he set her down in front of him just in time to see her awake, and with a wicked grin on her 5-year-old imp face!
"Hi, big brother!" she said fiendishly "Would you-" "Would you like to play with me?" Nelson interrupted her. This caught her off guard. "Really?" she asked, confused "But you've never asked to play with me before!" "An oversight on my account, I'm afraid," he told her "and I'd like to make it right.
This seemed to please Rene, and she hugged him. "Thanks big brother!" she said, still sounding demonic, but happy "What game would you like to play?" she asked.
"Five questions." he replied "I'll ask a total of five, and so will you. We'll take turns. Sound fair?"
"Sure." she replied happily "You go first."
"Ok." he replied "Do you know if our parents are imps yet?"

"Your girlfriend Lana has been very evasive for us, but other than her and you, we've got everyone else for sure! Ok, third question: where were you planning on taking me?" "To a doctor to have you cured," he replied "but now that may be harder. Now why did you wake up so fast?" "We imps process sugar faster than humans - another reason you should join us - you'll love it! Forth: don't you realize you could be a little kid forever if you became an imp?" "No I did not, but that does not change my mind. Ok, last question: after this city is all imps, what will all of you do then?" "Go on until everyone in the world is a cute, fiendish little imp! I'm telling you all of this because there's no way to stop us!!!" she replied with an evil look on her cute face "And now for MY final question:........
