One Fine Day in Mainframe
This started out as an entry for AW's "Reboot Shorts" contest. I decided not to enter it, but I changed it around a little. Anyway, it's about the women getting the men, then ends with the men getting women. It'll make more sense if you read it. So do so!
Bob and Dot were on their first, well, "date" at the Diskétté, a fancy French restaurant. The bill was free because Cecil worked part time there, and he let Bob and Dot eat for free under one condition: He is Cesil not Cecil. Bob had ordered a large data-dumpling, and Dot had the soup du jour.
"Ceci- Cesil sure has a hard life, huh Dot?" Bob asked.
"What do you mean, Bob?" Dot asked, stairing into his eyes with a semi-menacing look.
"Well, having a name no one says right, having a French accent, being confined to a track..."
"Do you have something against the French?"
"No! No! Say, when di you join Ceci- Cesil?"
"That's it, Bob! I'm leaving you!" Dot stood up sharply.
"But Dot-" Bob was interrupted by Dot's soup du jour splashing his face and Dot's silverware hitting Bob's head. Bob was knocked out. (Bob fans: He gets better!)
Just then, Matrix shot down a wall.
"All right, you're all going down! Gun! Death Blossom Mode!"
"Enzo!" AndrAIa came in. "Sorry. He went a little random."
"I am not random!" he yelled. He took out a champagne bottle.
"Enzo, this isn't like you. What happened?"
"Nothing happened! Shut up!" Matrix took out half of the place.
"Okay, Sparky, you leave me with no choice." AndrAIa put her nails into Matrix. Matrix collapsed to the floor. "Now who could have done this to Enzo?"
Mike the TV ran into the restaurant. "HELLO! See the acclaimed film, Revenge of the Renegades!"
"Mike! You did it!"
"Well duh! I did it, I did it, I did it!"
Dot then stood behind Mike carrying a weapon. She tapped Mike. Mike turned around and saw the weapon- a remote! Mike fainted.
"Three down, two to go," Dot said.
"Let's have Mouse get the last two," AndrAIa suggested.
"Nah. Hex needs in on this."
"Gotcha. Let's go."
* * *
In the Principle Offic, Phong was spinning around in circles. "Where is Bob? He is to be here by now!" Hex appeared in a flash of light. "AAA!"
"Why, hello Phong!" she said joyfully. "Bob isn't able to attend. Biscuit?" She held out a tray of buttermilk biscuits.
"Well, okay. Just one." Phong took one and ate it. He then slumped over.
"Happy! Happy! I like this sleeping ingredient. I should use it more often!"
Mouse came into the P.O. with Ray who was unconscious. "Got 'em by ahtacking 'im. Sorta."
"Goody! I hope that means you... "ain't" going to attack him anymore."
"Huh?"
"Oh sorry. Just trying your accent out."
Dot and AndrAIa arrived, Dot with Bob and Mike, AndrAIa with Matrix.
"We're ready!" Mouse said.
"We are too. Let's go," AndrAIa said.
* * *
Bob awoke in a small room. He slowly opened his eyes. he saw Mouse, Hex, AndrAIa, and a binome by him. He wondered why they were here, and most impotantly, why he was here. It slowly came back to him. "It was Dot who did it!" he said, although it wasn't his voice. It was Dot's He looked at his hands. Green! "What? How could this happen?" The door opened in the chamber, and in came Phong, mike, Matrix, Ray, and, suprisingly, Bob! Bob couldn't believe this. They had this planned out? he thought. No wonder why Dot asked me out!
Later everyone had awaken and had a big startle like Bob. Mike was annoyed by and image of himself; Phong had a long speech about why a virus is a good thing, too; "Ray" and "Mouse" just kissed again; Matrix almost got shot by "Matrix", and "Bob" and "Dot" did that together thing. All was well. Kinda.
After the imagery machine was turned off, they all had a chuckle at Hex's lair. (Ed. Note: Ha! Someplace otherthan the diner! I knew I could do it! Ha Ha! Ahem. Anyway, on with the story)
"Dot , you told me to act all macho and blow up the restaurant!" Matrix said.
"And Ms. AndrAIa, you said to start showing ads for that movie!" Mike said.
"It all led to your downfall." Dot said.
"But who looked like Mike?" Bob asked.
"Oh that was me!" a little nerdy voice said. They all turned to look It was Specks!
"Oh!" Bob exclaimed.
After they had had all their laughs, Bob wanted to see Dot privately.
"What is it, Bob?" Dot asked.
"Well, I have something to say." Bob said. "I-I-" Bob then put Dot in a statis field. He went back into Hex's lair and pulled Matrix aside.
"I got Dot. You get AndrAIa. This is going to be a real comeback, huh?"
"Yep. Heh-heh." Matrix set Gun to stun and walked AndrAIa away from the others and out of the lair. "I have something important to say, Andy." Matrix fingered Gun.
"What is it?" AndrAIa asked.
"You'll see." Matrix smiled and took Gun out. *BANG*
THE END
Epilouge
Ha. well, that was fun. Now you may ask, where was Little Enzo? Well, he was at school. Figures huh? Dot didn't want to interfere with the "vast knowledge of learning". I think you can guess what happens next. If you can't tough. I hope you enjoyed it. I did. Okay now I'm rambling. Goodbye.
