DM The Sisters Freeze Folk

One day, Edith brought something from a charity shop. It was round with a glass surface. There was dial and some numbers inside and some buttons on the outside. It looked like some kind of a watch.

There was also a big button on top, but Edith didn't know what that was supposed to do just yet. She decided to ask her parents how the strange kind of watch.

''Dis, Edith'' Gru explained ''Eet is a stopwatch''. ''You use it to time how long it takes for someone or something to process sweetie'' Lucy added, ''you just press this button on top to start and press it again to stop''. ''Cool'' thought Edith.

She found Agnes playing with her fluffy unicorn. ''Hey Agnes, why don't I time you saying It's so fluffy I'm gonna die?'' Edith asked. ''Okay'' Agnes said uncertainly. She said her common catchphrase and Edith pressed the button.

But to Edith's surprise, Agnes just stood there, frozen to the spot. ''Come on Agnes'' Edith said ''It wasn't that bad''. There was no answer at all. ''Agnes what are you doing?'' Edith asked. Still there was silence and Agnes didn't budge an inch. She seemed so lifeless.

Edith pressed the button again anxiously. To her surprise, Agnes returned to life instantly. ''That was very creepy'' she said ''I couldn't move or think or even talk!''.

''This watch actually stopped her completely!'' thought Edith to herself, ''Hold on, this stopwatch could come in handy for one or two little pranks!''. Edith found Margo in the hallway, pointed the stopwatch at her from behind and pressed the red button.

Edith walked up to her frozen sister and took hold of her arm. Edith took hold of Margo's index finger and stuck it right up her sister's nose!

Then she waited until she heard Gru coming, then Edith pressed the button to start Margo up again.

Margo was surprised to find her finger up her nose, Gru saw her and thought she was being disgusting. ''Margo!'' he said ''Dat's a filthy habit, use a tissue if there's something wrong with your nose!''.

Edith smirked to herself in the next room. A week later, Edith saw that Margo had also brought a second hand watch out of a charity shop in the high street, but this looked more like a normal watch.

Margo showed the watch to her dad, but much to her surprise he nearly fainted. ''Dat is an old ancient villain watch!'' Gru told Margo, ''Eet can cause very strange magic and effects! You must be very careful with such a watch''.

Margo wasn't sure if or how she could even be careful without knowing how to avoid the strange magic and affects her dad had said, but she nodded understandingly.
