It's the morning after the sleepover, and once we were all awake, Zuma asked rocky the story of how he got a crush on gasket.

"Okay, so it all started a couple months ago" rocky said

Flashback time

Rockys pov

I was out at the local scrapyard, looking for pieces to use in my latest invention, when all of a sudden I saw gasket. I was wary of her because whenever the ruff-ruff pack was in town, chaos always followed. but she didn't seem to be up to any mischief. In fact, it looked like she was looking for pieces like I was.

I walked over to her, and as I got closer to her, I heard her saying things like, "No, not the right size" and "Ooh, some shocks" and "These spark plugs could come in handy"

"Hey gasket, what ya doing," I said

She turned around, startled. "Hey Rocky, I'm not up to anything," she said defensively

"It looks like you're looking for parts. you have good taste, this is my favorite scrapyard" I responded.

"Thanks," she said "I'm looking for parts to improve my motorcycle, I'm secretly a bit of a tinkerer "

"Cool! So am I" I responded "Do you want me to help you find stuff?"

"Yeah, that would be great," she said

"What are you looking for?"I asked

"I need a welding tube, a chain belt, and a couple of lug nuts" she answered

"I will start looking," I said

5 minutes later

After finding all the things on the list, me and gasket started talking, and we realized that we had a lot in common. We were both inventors and tinkerers, and Gasket built her motorcycle from scratch, which was really impressive. It was getting dark when I realized how long we had been talking.

"This was fun, but I really have to go," I said

"I understand" Gasket responded.

As I turned to go, gasket said "Hey Rocky?"

"Yeah?" I asked

"I had a lot of fun today. Dwayne and hubcap don't really understand my inventing like you do" She said "Do you want to hang out here next week?"

"Yeah, that would be awesome," I said

"Okay, see you later," she said, smiling

I couldn't help but smile back.

Time skip 1 week

I met Gasket at the scrapyard just like we planned.

"Hey Rocky" she greeted

"Hey gasket," I said "So what do you want to do?"

"I wanted some help with my motorcycle," she said

"What's wrong with it?" I asked

"I wanted to increase the suspension, but now the engine is having problems" She replied

"There's probably a blockage in the gears," I said

She opened the hood and I looked inside. I quickly spotted the problem.

"I found it," I said as I removed a clump of hair and dirt that had gotten into the gears.

"Thanks, Rocky," she said

"Your welcome," I said "Is there anything else you need help with?"

"I was hoping we could hang out and talk," she said

So we chatted for a while, and I found out that Gasket really likes Batman as well so I suggested we watch a Batman movie on my computer.

By the time we were in the middle of the movie, gasket had fallen asleep snuggled up to my side. I didn't move so as not to wake her. I woke her up once the movie was over and told her I had to go. She seemed kind of embarrassed that she had slept through the movie, but I told her it was fine.

As I was riding out, I caught a glimpse of her through my rearview mirror, and I don't know how I had never noticed how cute she was before.

"We started to meet every Wednesday, sometimes we would invent, and sometimes we would just talk or watch a movie. We became really close. " Rocky said

"I bet you miss her," I said

"I do, but she knows where I am, and we built special communicators, so we talk to each other often" Rocky responded

"That story made me hungry," Rubble said

"Rubble, you are always hungry " Marshal replied

"We should go get breakfast," I said, and everyone agreed, especially Rubble.
