DM The Minions Change Colours

Gru and his family had been enjoying a barbecue, but it was getting late. ''It's bedtime for me'' yawned Dru, ''We've got an early start tomorrow''. ''That's right'' agreed Lucy as she led the way inside, ''We have an early agent show''. ''Time for bed'' Gru told Kyle, Blondie and Lucky. Before long the family was all tucked up in their beds and Gru's house was dark and still. Only the three minions, Kevin, Bob and Stuart were walking about in the lab. Gru had asked them wash and dry the family's clothes overnight so they'd be ready for the morning. He had told them to make sure to separate the light and dark colours into different piles.

Then Stuart accidently slipped and knocked one of the switches on the washing machine! It whirled, rattled and vibrated. Kevin yelled "TURN IT OFF!" in minionese. But no one could understand his gibberish. Stuart and Bob struggled mightily to turn the washing machine off before they wake up the whole house. Kevin joined in the struggle and together, they finally switched the washing machine off. The three minions were worried about the clothes in case they shrunk, due to the water inside the washing machine. But when they opened it, they were relieved that the clothes were normal sizes, but they were shock again to see all of the colours were swapped around!

Gru's clothes were now pink, Edith's clothes were now white, Agnes' clothes were now black, Dru's clothes were now yellow, Margo's clothes were now blue, and Lucy's clothes were now green. Kevin, Bob, and Stuart didn't know what to do. Just then, Kevin had a bright idea. They took some clothes to the girls' bedroom and the rest to Gru and Lucy's. Dawn was breaking when the alarm clocks went off and the Gru family got out of their beds. ''I'm glad the minions got our clothes ready the morning'' said Lucy as she pulled her dress over her head, without realizing it was the wrong colour!

In the girls' bedroom, Margo was putting on her clothes and she didn't realise they were the wrong colours either. In the living room, the minions wondered if anyone would notice. The minions snickered quietly to each other at the family all wearing the wrong colours. ''Come on let's go!'' urged Edith impatiently after they had all brushed their teeth. They climbed aboard the Gru mobile and Gru started off. It was still a bit dark and Gru turned on the headlights. The family fastened their safety belts. The sun was just poking its head above the horizon. The Minions began to think to each other as if to say, ''they still haven't notice''.

When they reached the place where Gru and Lucy had gotten married, everyone was waiting as the agents show was taking place there.

Lots of families and their friends were there too, including Silas Ramsbottom, the former director of the AVL, Fred McDade, Jillian, Jessica, Shannon, Valarie, Marlena Gru, Gru's mom, and Nia and Sophie and their moms. It was the 59th Agent of the Year where someone would win an award. The visitors and the agents looked at them and all of the Minions put their fingers to their lips and shook their heads and whispered to them not to tell them. It was a bright sunny day. Jillian spoke to Gru. ''It's an early start today Edith'' she said. Gru looked puzzled. ''Had any breakfast, Margo?'' Jessica asked Lucy. Valerie growled angrily and rudely at Margo, "You've gone shorter than I thought, Agent Wilde" she snarled.

Margo gasped and hide fearfully behind Lucy. The Gru family looked at each other in amazement and realized what had happened. Dru laughed. "Our clothes are in the wrong colours!" he exclaimed to the others. The Minions erupted with hysterical laughter and rolled all over the ground, helpless with chortles, titters, and guffaws. Tears welled up in their eyes as they continued laughing. Finally, Kevin got up and started explaining in Minionese what had happened. Margo was a super intelligent girl with her brain levels sparkling brightly and said "Kevin says that, he, Bob and Stuart made our clothes swap colours in the washing machine and they decided to pull a prank on us while we were asleep". "And we didn't even notice" finished Lucy.

"It was dark, we got up, and we were in a hurry" said Gru, looking thoughtful. "Look, Uncle Dru! I'm all white! Just like you" said Edith, ''Even my hat is white!''. "I know, I know, and look at me. I'm all yellow, the washing machine might've caught Agnes' shirt" said Dru. ''Mom, we've got each other's colours!'' Margo said to Lucy. "I know, we're the opposite" chuckled Lucy. "Did you really think Mom was me?" Margo asked Jessica. "Nope. I was just going along with the joke. I knew she was your mom all the time" replied Jessica. "Did you seriously thought Dad was me?" Edith asked Jillian.

Jillian laughed out loud. "Ah-ha-ha! No, silly, I only recognize him by his face, not his clothes" she said. "Look at me! I'm so black" said Agnes. "What new colour is Gru's now?" asked Lucy. Gru saw that his jacket suit and trousers and shoes and scarf were all pink. "AAAAAAAAIIIIIGHHHHHHH!" he screamed and then he fainted on the spot. "I think he likes it" added Agnes.
