Advent Calendar: Day 2
Of course, now that I've announced my advent calendar, I'm now swamped by tons of work and family affairs. So, you'll have to excuse this late offering for December 2nd :P.

"I don't know, Johnny... perhaps we should reconsider the..."
"There's no time for that, Cosmo, and you know it. If what she told you is true, we could all be in great danger!"
"She's clinically insane. There's a high chance that everything she told me is just a fantasy. After all, there's no scientific explanation behind a..."
"If she were as insane as you claim, you wouldn't be involved in her little research group, Cosmo. Deep inside, you know it might be true."
"I..."
"We'll meet at midnight. Uncle Lazlo will be waiting for us at the entrance. Bring your gun, just in case."
"John..."
"We are going to get it out. Tonight. I won't let those bastards win. I won't let them get away after what they did to my wife... to Stella. I don't care if it costs my life, I'll stop their plans!"
"Johnny..."
"Don't be late, Cosmo." *click*
*Sigh*
"What should I do, Bella? Johnny is completely out of his mind if he thinks he'll get the prototype out of their lab. We'll both get killed before we can set a foot over there. She's completely insane, Bella! There's no way what she told me is true..."
"But then again, he's right. Deep inside I believe her. Deep inside I want her words to be true so badly, for they could lead me back to you, my love. Deep inside... I want to make sure that her stories are real, and that there's still hope for me."
"Besides, I can't leave him alone. He's not thinking clearly right now... his pain is almost as deep as mine. I... I don't know what to do..."
"Hey Dad! The pizza's here! It's going to be 40 simoleons and..."
"Dad? What's wrong? Are you ill?"
"Wh... of course not, Andrew. I'm fine, just a bit tired. You know how many extra hours I've been working at the lab lately and..."
"You don't look tired to me, Dad. Is that Smith guy giving you trouble again?"
*Sigh* "I wish I could tell you everything, Andrew. I know you'd understand everything, but the last thing I want is to put you in danger...."
"Danger?! But Dad..."
"If you want to help me, Andrew, you must promise you won't tell a word to your Grandfather about this."
"B-but... well... all right."
"Good. I'm... I'm going to leave for a few hours tonight. Naturally, you can't know about my plans. What I can tell you, though, is that our work might be protecting our planet from an awful catastrophe."
"Dad..."
"I promise I'll tell you everything once the danger has passed. For now, I need you to take care of Wanda. If I don't make it back from my mission, you'll be the one in charge of her safety. Please. Andrew, promise you are going to..."
"Hey, Wanda! What's up?"
"Pizza's already cold. What's taking you two so long...?"
"It's nothing, Wanda. We were just talking and..."
"You are not telling the truth, Daddy. Why are you so serious?
"All... all right. I'm going out tonight, Wanda. I was telling Andrew that..."
"But you always work late, Daddy..."
"That's true. But tonight, I'm working on something a bit difficult."
"Like a math exam?"
"Yes, something like that."
"Oh, Daddy! You should have told us about this earlier! There's nothing to worry about, then."
"Why?"
"Come on! What do you do every time I'm scared about my exams?"
"You always give me a super duper hug, Dad. And you tell me you've got faith in me. That as long as I give my best, there's nothing I can't do!"
"I also know there's nothing YOU can't do, Daddy. You'll do great in your job thing, as long as you give your best effort... I know it."
"So... are you feeling better?"
"Yes... I am."

*Sigh*
My dear Bella. I still believe this is an awful plan. I'm not sure about its outcome, and deep inside I'm afraid things will go horribly wrong.
Nonetheless, I can't ignore this situation. Smith is right. I can't let them get away with their awful plans..."
"I have to do this, for them. For their future. I know you'd want the same..."
"I'll give my best tonight. I just hope that'll be enough..."
