AFAAOCSAAABAS Act 2

Part 4-6: Out with..., Breaking Point, Dream Benders

Part 4: Out with the old, in with the 004!

SR: (Sitting next to Dave, in their room, staring at the floor, jaw still stuck out) How are we going to get this thing back in....
DV: Euhh, I dunno... I didn't think this would happen when I kissed you for the first time..
SR: It's okay, I was just... just... shocked... it was so magical I- I never thought that would actually happen to me but it did! But seriously, my mouth is getting dry, I need to get this back in here. (She begins pulling on it again)
DV: Can I help? maybe I can try pushing it back in...
SR: Yeah! Push from the front! I'll pull as you push!
DV: (He pushes on it with all his might)
-~As dave pushes and sardi pulls, the jaw suddenly unlocks and coils up back inside Sardi's mouth, send dave flying up against her, face to face~-
DV: erp- (he sheepishly grins) hehehe...
SR: (Awkwardly) heh... heh... you're... you're so close... like right there ahaha....
DV: You're even more beautiful up close...
SR: (she gazes into his eyes, then cautiously closes them and softly pressed her face up against his)
DV: ...
Uhhh... sardi, what was that?
SR: Oh... um... I wanted to um, give you a kiss back... but... I like... don't have lips....
DV: OH.. ohhh.. I get it now.
SR: ...
(She does it again, but just stays pressed against him)
DV: (He leans forward, pressing his lips against her face)
AS: (Enters the room to pick up a piece of the computer that he forgot in there)
...
(slowly backs out)
SR: (She sits there, letting him kiss her) Alright! Alright! Let's not get carried away! Plus, the pizza we ordered should be here soon!
DV: Oh! Yeah! You ordered a sardine pizza right?
SR: Yeah of course! (She lets go of Dave and heads down stairs for the door) Pizza time!
(she opens the door to see a familiar face holding a pizza) TENN?!!
TN: SARDI!!?? Figures!! Who else would order a sardine pizza!!
SR: How have you been!! (She take the pizza and hands her a 20)
TN: Oh it's been awesome! I got a job making pizzas for this guy, his name is Tony, he's a real nice guy
SR: That's great! (She's looking at the pizza) Bye now!! (She walks over to dave, who had walk downstairs in the meantime, and sits the pizza down)
TN: Bye! Enjoy!
(She walks back to the shop)

PM: So? How did it go?
TN: Funny thing was, it was my old friends, Sardi and Dave and Astrodude's House!!
BT: (Overhearing tenn) Astrodude? You mean good old Ed?? He's my big brother!! I knew I found the address familiar. HAH! I guess it really is a small world.
TN: I think it's quite a big world, saying that where I'm from, there were roughly 8,000 people max....
PM: Hm. Interesting. Now, the shop's about to close up. Clean the place up, will you?
TN: Alrighty! (She begins to clean up the rest of the shop)

— Meanwhile, back at the Rotsar building —

NB004: (Hesitating but eventually mustered enough courage to knock on the general's office door)
AD: Oh- come in.
NB004: (Creeps in) Are you ready to leave yet?
AD: (Slowly sliding a toy rocket away) Yyyep. On my way! Heh...
NB004: haha.. yeah... also, I-I-I apologize about earlier... that was a bad first impression....
AD: Don't worry about it! You seem like a nice person, and I think that's what matters most.
NB004: ...
No one ever told me something like that before. (Tearing up a bit)
AD: They haven't?
NB004: Welllll... lets just say... I haven't always been like this.
AD: Been like what?
NB004: Been a nice person... I was almost, one could say, psychotic!
AD: Do.. Do you mind telling me more?
NB004: I don't want to say too much, but this one nasaball, 1010, she went by tenn, she was a defect. Well... I kinda... wanted to torment her and I was so close to killing 1025, or dave
AD: O-Oh.. erm.. I see...
I think I s-should be getting ready to leave now, haha..
NB004: ah so where ready to go!?
AD: Yeahhh. Let's get going.
NB004: (Follows astrodude out to the car)
— The duo drive to astrodude's house, but astrodude seems on edge the whole way —
NB004: It's nice to be coming to your house invited this time!
AD: What do you mean by that exactly?
NB004: Nothing!!
AD: (He sighs) Whatever, come on, let's head inside.
NB004: (Walks inside tentatively)
SR: Hi astrodad welcome home- AHHHHHH WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE AHHHHHHHH
AD: Calm down- she's come here to apologize.
SR: AHHHHH- oh you are? Come in!!
NB004: Yeah.... so about that....
Like... you guys changed me. I saw what you had and your determination to be free... it stirred something inside me and I've changed!! I'm sorry for trying to kill you guys and your friends...
SR: Yeah that's cool I guess I forgive you, want some pizza?? (She holds up a slice of sardine pizza)
NB004: Ehhhhh... no thanks... I'm more of a fortified mush kind of person....
DV: (Mouth full of pizza) You should try some! really!
NB004: I guess I will.... (She sits down at the table and apprehensively grabs a slice and eats it) Hrmmm... it's pretty good!
DV: Told ya so!!
NB004: (Going in for another slice) MMMMM SO GOOD!
SR: Don't eat all the pizza!! This is our pre-dinner you know!!
DV: Yeah! Don't you DARE eat it all!
NB004: Alright!! Just this one more slice and I'm done!
SR: (Takes another slice)
— there is only one slice left in the box now —
NB004: (Looks at the last piece of pizza and grabs and eats it)
DV: ...
Get out. right now.
NB004: Wha- huh? Why??
DV: GET OUT!!
NB004: GEEZ SORRY!! (She leaves, but stays outside the house)
AD: (Following her outside) Sorry about them, I'm sure they accepted your apology, though.
NB004: It's my fault... I ate their, what did they say it was? Paza?
AD: Pizza. And no, they shouldn't be eating that anyway..
NB004: WHAT?!! Is pizza like, poisonous?!?
AD: What- of course not! It's just not good in large quantities .
NB004: I don't think they were eating large quantities....
AD: That was their fourth box.
NB004: Oh.... that's why they are so large. Also, how do I get home from here?
AD: I can drive you back.
NB004: (Hesitantly) okay....
AD: Is.. is something wrong?
NB004: I don't wanna go back....
AD: ..Oh. I see.
I won't get in trouble for letting you go, right?
NB004: You're my boss.... you make the rules.
AD: Maybe... (He ponders for a moment) Maybe you can stay at my house for a bit, and lay low.
NB004: Can I????
AD: Of course! I don't think it's exactly fair, being cooped up in that building all your life.
NB: Yay!!!! I've seen what you rest on, it's like a blanket but thicker! May I sleep on one of those tonight?
AD: A... bed? Sure, if we have a spare one..
NB: Awsome! Thank you, astrodude! (She walks back inside with him)
AD: Do you want me to show you where you'll be staying?
NB004: yes please
SR: STAYING?!?
DV: WHAT!!! YOU CANT LET HER STAY!!
AD: This is non-negotiable. We let Tenn stay, so why can't we give her a chance?
SR: Well- uh- uh FINE!! But she isn't sleeping with us!!
AD: (He sighs) I'll ask my wife..
(he quickly dials her number, and waits for her to pick up)
AW: Hey honey! What is it?
AD: H-hi, hon... I was wondering if it would be okay with you if we maybe let another guest stay at our house for a bit?
AW: (sighs) another one? Where will they sleep?
AD: Haha... I haven't exactly decided that yet..
AW: Well I don't want them sleeping on the new couch... how about with Dave and Sardi on the couch in their room?
AD: Dave And Sardi don't really *want* her in their room..
AW: Hrmmm.... maybe ask victor to sleep in Dave and Sardi's room and they sleep there? Im SURE Vic wont mind.
AD: Are- Are you sure? He's been pretty intense lately..
AW: Yeah I dont think sardi and dave could have done anything to make him extremely uncomfortable so he should be okay.
AD: Okayyy then.
Thanks for this, hon. (He hangs up)
NB004: Sooooo did she say where?
AD: You'll be staying in my son's room. I'm sure he won't mind..
SR: Where's he gonna stay then??
AD: The couch in your room.
SR: GREAT! Now we have to sleep next to a kid who hates our guts!! He's probably gonna perform surgery on us and take our brains and our spleens or something!!
AD: Didn't.. you already lose your spleen?
SR: Oh. Right. Anyways, how long does he have to sleep with us??
AD: Er- 004, when do you plan on leaving? You can't really just.. stay here forever.
NB004: ...
Yeah, I guess I'll leave eventually...
Can I see this elusive bed now??
AD: Sure, let me talk to my son about it (He walks upstairs and into his son's room)
AS: (Puking into a bucket while a dismantled Sarbot lies on the ground)
AD: Hey Vic- VICTOR ARE YOU OKAY?!! (He runs over to him)
AS: (He pushes astrodude back) Hands off!
AD: S-sorry! But are you sick?! Is there anything I can do??
AS: Oh, I'm sick alright. Sick of those two idiots taking up space in our house and CLOGGING the environment with their disgusting antics.
AD: Uhhhhh about that... we kinda... need to... make you sleep on the couch in their room... just for a few days....
AS: ...
AD: no more than three days!! It will be quick! Just to sleep, you can go back to your room during the day!
AS: (Intense staring)
AD: oh come on!! How bad is what they did that made you puke!!
AS: They kissed. Right in front of me.
AD: IN YOUR ROOM!!??
AS: Well... no. I was going to get something, and I walked in on them. (He shudders remembering the moment)
AD: Oh so you walked in on them. Well you should have knocked!! Anyways, I'll make sure they won't do any shenanigans while you sleep on the couch in their room. (He walks to the doorway and calls for 004)
NB004: Coming!! (She walks into to Astroson's room)
AS: (He studies 004 as she enters his room)
Father, must she really stay in my room? She can just sleep on the couch, can't she??
AD: Your mom doesn't want the couch getting messed up. Remember, it's only for a few days, you'll be fine
AS: (He narrows his eyes at his dad)
AD: Now, uh, 004, when you get tired, you will sleep here. For now, just hang out downstairs please?
NB004: Can do! (She walks back down)
AS: Hrrmph. I don't get why you let them stay at all.
AD: If you saw the conditions they lived in, you would too, let them stay. (He leaves the room)
