Ratchet's Addition

And Then There Were Two

Ratchet rang the doorbell to Tawlyn's residence waiting on her to open the door. His heart was pounding ready to greet his partner in a loving matter. Tawlyn opens the door and finds quite a surprise.

"Ratchet, Clank! It's so good to see you two." Tawlyn greeted kissing Ratchet on the cheek and patting Clank on the head. "Come right on in."

"Where is Cronk and Zephyr?" Clank asked closing the front door.

"They are in the backyard playing soccer." Tawlyn answered pointing to the backyard.

Ratchet opens the door to the backyard. "Hey Cron-"

Cronk's head was kicked off by the soccer ball.

"You darn fool! Look what you did to my head!" Cronk hollered trying to control his body.

"Now don't go and blame everything on me! I will reattached your head." Zephyr reassured heading toward Cronk.

"I can help." Ratchet told approaching the two in their need of help.

"Ratchet it's good to see you." Zephyr smiled.

"Well I can't see him because you knocked off my head." Cronk complained.

"Oh shutup." Zephyr replied kicking Cronk's body down.

Ratchet chucked as he helped reapply Cronk's head back on.

"Thank you Ratchet." Cronk said dusting himself off.

"It's no problem." Ratchet replies.

"Hey guys come in here!" Tawlyn called.

Ratchet, Cronk and Zephyr came inside to see what Tawlyn want.

Tawlyn points to the tv indicating that they should look at the tv. The news was on and it was showing Big Al's ship having deals on the weapons.

"Oh yeah I just brought a weapon over there- wait is that a-" Ratchet gasped getting closer to the screen trying to make sure his eyes were not playing tricks on him. Before he could realize what it was Clank turned off the tv.

"No Ratchet you already spent tons of money on a weapon that is unnecessary. You were suppose to be modifying your other weapon not buying a new one." Clank mentioned.

Tawlyn turned to Ratchet and glared at him. Ratchet smiled at Tawlyn hoping for her not to be too mad.

Tawlyn crossed her arms and darted her eyes at him. "How much was the weapon?"

"But-" Ratchet raised his index finger trying to explain himself but Tawlyn kept interrupting him.

"How much!" Tawlyn growled in a impatient voice.

Ratchet sighed before giving her the answer. "38,000."

"Ratchet are you serious! You are suppose to be saving your money on bills and our vacation that we are going to soon." Tawlyn hissed.

"I'm sorry babe. You know I have a problem with spending." Ratchet's ears wired down in shame.

Tawlyn saw his ears wired down and felt bad for yelling.

"Hmm maybe Clank can help you control your spending." Cronk suggested. " You should give him your credit cards."

"Hmm I can do that." Ratchet said reaching into his pocket and giving him his credit cards.

"Thank you Ratchet." Clank smiled taking the credit cards from him although he is unaware that Ratchet has two more credit cards.

"Tawlyn I'm sorry I really am and to make it up to you I am going to take you out to dinner tonight." Ratchet smiled.

Tawlyn couldn't help but to smile. "Apology accepted."

The touching moment was interrupted when Qwark rang up the phone.

"Hello..." Ratchet greeted.

"Ratchet, Clank I need you guys ASAA- wait no ASSA - Just come here immediately!" Qwark hangs up the phone.

"Welp duty calls I have to go to work." Ratchet begins to walk out the door.

"Bye." Cronk and Zephyr waved before heading back outside.

"Bye. Try not to kick each other heads off." Ratchet waved back.

"Alright Rookie." Zephyr laughed.

Ratchet and Clank walks out the door with Tawlyn.

"Wait where is my heroic lombax going without his kiss." Tawlyn giggled as she kissed him.

"Bye babe." Ratchet gives her another kiss. "We will be back soon."

"Just make sure you are back in enough time so you can take me out to dinner." Tawlyn said walking back inside her house.

Ratchet watched as his girlfriend walked inside. "What a woman!" He said in a blissful voice.

"Uh Ratchet?" Clank said tugging on him.

"Oh right sorry let's see what Qwark wants."

Ratchet and Clank hops in their ship to the Planetary Defense Center.
