Files and Wires (goofy ahh ii oneshot turned into a full-fledged Cabbot fic)

Chapter 1: What were your parents like?

(Takes place during III 14 in the cereal box)

As Bot and Cabby were solving the puzzles in the cereal boxes, Bot couldn't help but start up some small talk, since they couldn't bare the awkward silence. "So... you know how Test Tube and Fan were the ones that made me?"

"Yeah?" Cabby replied, still focused on the challenge. "They're kinda like my parents, if you will. What were your parents like?" Bot looked up towards Cabby curiously. Cabby's expression suddenly changed into an anxious one, like she didn't want to be reminded of that. "Oh-oh! M-my parents... well..."

Cabby paused for a second, seemingly trying to compose herself. "...my parents wooped my ass when I was a kid. They'd always find something wrong with me, or something that I did for an excuse to beat me." Cabby looked downcast at the pink floor, sighing sadly. "...oh." Bot said quietly, looking away. 

The both of them sat in silence for a while, before Bot built up the courage to speak up. "Do you... wanna make out to feel better?" Bot asked, facing towards Cabby with a hopeful and sympathetic expression. 

"U-uh, what? M-make out?" Cabby was bewildered, gabberflastered, if you will, at their proposition. She'd never kissed anyone before, let alone someone that she just recently became friends with. 

Cabby pulled out a file from one of her shelves, pretending to read it to avoid eye contact with her. Bot then extended their legs so they were eye-level with her, and lowered the file so that they were face-to-face. 

"C'mon, you've been through so much! Having a falling out with Test Tube, getting eliminated, putting in the effort to rejoin and persevering to the final six, you deserve a little kiss!" Bot reassured Cabby, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Well, if you insist..." Cabby apprehensively closed her eyes and met her lips with Bot. The sensation felt like nothing that she'd experienced before. The kiss only lasted a few seconds, but to Cabby, it felt like ages. Eventually, Bot pulled away, with a slightly flushed expression. "Soooo... how do you feel now?" "U-uhm..." Cabby's mind scrambled to find words to describe the feeling, "It was... new..." 

Suddenly, a familiar high-pitched voice was heard. "Oh, c'mon, you lovebugs! Don't get distracted, there's still more challenges up ahead!" Both Cabby and Bot froze and they heard Springy's voice over the speakers. "W-wait, you saw everything?" Bot said nervously. "Yup! The cameras caught everything too!"
