A Squishy Upgrade- Slow updates

Crack

Ratchet and Clank had done it again saving the world from yet another villain and we're on their way home. To thank the duo for "aiding" him in saving the world, Quark lent the two one of his ships sporting his face on both sides. Clank accepted before Ratchet could protest, at least it was a ship. The two quickly realized that its warp drive was dead when Quark left, all they would have to do is find a Star large enough to replenish its power and for the moment they would have to take it slow. Ratchet was not pleased in the slightest but decided it was better than being stranded on an asteroid, so he couldn't complain much.

Currently, the two were chatting about Quarks latest book, "beginners guide to being a hero" and came to the conclusion that they should at least check it out when they get back home besides, he had helped give them a ship... sort of, and also helped in bringing Nefarious around... For a little while at least. Ratchet especially remembered how the mechanical Doc had betrayed them as soon as he got the chance.

"Do you think he ever cared? Even for a minute?" Ratchet said his ears lowering as he continued his eyes still glued to the sparks of light scattered across the night sky in front of him. "Or did he really fool us all into thinking he cared."

Clank paused before answering his furball companion, "if you wish for my honest opinion on the matter, I think there is hope for the doctor. I do not think he has turned to good just yet. Stay hopeful but we should not put our guard down."

Ratchet seemed content with this answer and continued piloting the small ship.

Hours passed and Ratchet worked up an appetite. Clank quickly caught on to the lombaxes hangry mood and pulled out a package of lombax treats from the back of the ship's storage. He came back with a shit eating grin on his face. Ratchet loved the snacks and even took a bag home from his previous journey. What the lombax didn't know was that Clank already had a huge box full of the treats. He new Ratchet had run out of his and decided to tease him.

"My lombax whispering abilities are telling me that you are hungry. Ehehehehe!" Clano held up the snacks.

Ratchet gives him the classic eye roll before smiling and snatching the bag, "Not a chance! Lombax whispering is broken beyond repair! Besides I can talk just fine ya bucket of bolts!"

Clank gave his signature laugh, "fair enough ratchet, fair enough."

Ratchet glared at the robot slightly before tossing one of the treats in the air and catching it in his mouth licking his lips in response.

"Seems to me like he got your taste preferences right," Clank said in a cocky voice.

Ratchets fur stood on end and with his mouth still full he argued back, "Moh heh diwin'd!" [No he didn't].

Ratchet gulped down his treat and continued, "he just got lucky that's all. Also, get back in your seat! We are reaching an asteroid cluster and it looks like we are gonna have a fun time getting through it."

"I thought you said you knew where we were going?" Clank said.

"I do!" Ratchet said confidently.

Clank was satisfied until he heard a bang of an asteroid hit the side of the ship. It wasn't enough to cause damage, but it did provide evidence against Ratchet's statement.

"Roughly..." Ratchet replied giving a weak laugh.

"Next time I will be the one to choose the directions Ratchet. This is not the first time you have decided to 'wing it'." Clank stated clearly annoyed.

Ratchet sighed, "well I mean at least its a couple dents, we will have enough bolts to fix the ship when we get back. Don't worry yourself too much. I mean, it's not like anyone is even around here."
