Calvin and Roxy sat at the local train yard, in hopes to
hop in the back of one of the train cars.

He cuffed his hand around his forehead to block the sun out of his eyes, as he looked off into the distance.

The sunset was beautiful that day.

He looked over at Roxanne.

"I have to go back to the Pizza Plex."

"What?"
Asked Calvin

"I have to go back, we can't keep doing this."
Said Roxy.

"I-... it's too risky!" Calvin stammered.

"It's too risky to do whatever this is! Roxy said.

"Where else are we gonna go?" Roxy asked.

Calvin paused

"Maybe we could move to Canada, I could put myself into an adoption program." Calvin said.

"Oh yeah? Where would I go then?"

"I don't know Roxy"
"I don't know" Calvin sighed

"Maybe you can come to the Pizza Plex with me, and we could figure it out from there." Said Roxy.

"What if they wipe your memory? And haven't they already replaced you?" Calvin asked.

"I don't think so, and besides, I could sneak you around with me. You have everything you need to live in that mall." Roxy said.


"We can try that I guess".
Calvin said.

He stood up.

"But the moment shit goes south, and I mean anything, I'll have Charlotte pull us out of there". Calvin said

He walked over and they gave each other a quick hug, as the faint noise of a train horn sounded off in the distance.
—————————————————————————————

That night, they fell asleep in a train car that was half filled with paper towels. Calvin thought it would be more comfortable than sleeping on the hard sheet metal.



Roxy woke Calvin up with a quick peck on the lips.

"Morning Calvin". Said Roxy

His eyes opened as the sunlight from the cracks in the door blinded him.

"Good morning baby"

He rubbed his eyes before staring up, and opening the train car door.

"Where are we?" Asked Calvin

"According to my built in GPS, we are in "Pickett Train Yard?" Roxy said confused

"We're probably a 3 hour walk from the Mall then." Calvin said.

"Hey, that's not too bad". Roxy said optimistically

"Yea, I just need to get something to eat. I am starving". Calvin said

"Haha, we'll find you something to eat". Roxy said patting him on the head.

—————————————————————————————

They began their long and tedious trek to the Mega Mall. While unbeknownst to them, Charlotte kept a very close eye on them.

"Hey do you see that? Calvin said, while pointing off in the distance.

"See what".

"It's a food truck!" Calvin Picked up his pace.

When they arrived at the food truck, they realized that the entire menu was in Spanish, and so were all of the people working the truck.

"Don't worry Cal, I got this". Said Roxy

She grabbed a 10 out of her shorts and handed it to the woman working the truck.

"Hola, ¿puedo tener dos tacos de lujo y una bebida grande". Roxy said.

The way her voice sounded while speaking in Spanish was weirdly cute.

After a waiting a couple of minutes, Calvin got his long awaited Tacos and the continued walking into the city.

"They didn't question you?" Said Calvin?

"What do you mean?" Roxy laughed

"You know, you being a robot?" Said Calvin

"Oh no, they didn't care, since I tipped them like 6 bucks". Said Roxy

"Oh yeah true, where'd you get that money from anyways?"

"Haha, your piggy bank."

" I knew it would come in handy one day."
Said Calvin

"Speaking of piggy, why don't you give me a piggy back ride while I munch on these tacos."
Said Calvin

Roxy looked over at him.

"Ehh, I don't know. That seems like too much work" Roxy Said.

"Oh come on, I know you literally can't feel pain".
Calvin yipped

Roxy Sighed

"Okay fine, hop on".
