Chapter 1 - Meet Lily

Another day at the Blinking Light Factory…gur-eat. But Robot guessed it would be tolerable enough with Monster, that and he really didn't have a choice. But little did Robot know that today would be a little bit different, and it started here, at work.

"Monster, why are you always so happy, even on a miserable work day?" Robot couldn't help but question.

"Because I always sense that something different will happen…and it's a good different!" Monster replied with a huge smile, but Robot didn't want to believe his best friend, as he sighed and continued to watch over the lights to make sure they were blinking, just like every other boring work day.

"Ooh, Robot, I've got good news, though!" Monster piped up.

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yeah! My sister is coming to visit for a while."

"Oh, how magnificent. I better get the hunting net for Globitha."

"No, not THAT sister, silly. My OTHER sister."

"You have another sister? Since when?" Robot asked with surprise.

"Since forever. She's my big sister too, and she's pretty cool. I think you'll like her," Monster happily replied.

"As long as she's nothing like Globitha, I'm happy," Robot mumbled under his breath.

Later that night, after their shift at the factory was finally over, Robot and Monster headed to the Makin' Bacon for dinner. But Robot was feeling especially tired after today's work, so he ordered coffee to go with his main course.

"Are you ok, Robot? You look horrible," Monster pointed out with concern when he noticed the tiniest cracks in Robot's eyes lenses from stress.

"Gee, thanks," Robot growled sarcastically.

"I'm sorry, Robot. I'm just being concerned for my best friend."

"Yeah, I know. I'm ok, though. don't worry about me."

"Good, 'cause I gotta go to the bathroom!" With that, Monster immediately left the table to head for the bathroom, and Monster scoffed and rolled his eyes at the naïve monster.

"Refill, Sir?" Robot looked up at the source of the soft voice, and he was shocked to find the most weird yet interesting Organic he had ever seen.

The organic was barely taller than him, with the body of some kind of anthropomorphic fennec fox creature with bright pink fur, ears almost as big as her head, a long snake-like tail with black scales at the tip; she had shoulder-length black locks with rainbow-dyed tips over her forehead, her body was shaped like that of an hour glass; her eyes were pitch black with bright green slits for pupils, and her choice of attire was nothing but a black tank top, and she wore a white apron over it. But the oddest thing about her was her left paw, in which she held the pitcher of coffee, and that it was in fact a mechanical clawed hand, complete with metal and wiring for her to have perfect control over.

"Uh…" was all Robot could muster, making the furry Organic snicker and refill his coffee anyway.

"I know why you look at me like that," she stated with a smirk, making Robot panic inside, "you've never seen my around here before. I work the nightshift."

"O-oh…right…sorry…thanks for the refill," Robot stammered as his eyes dotted everywhere to keep from skimming her rather beautiful body.

"No problem. You look like you needed it," she shrugged off, but then she looked around before leaning in and lowering her voice, "don't tell Nessie, but it's on the house." With that, she smiled and winked before turning to leave, but Robot wasn't ready to let her leave yet.

"W-wait…what's your name?" She immediately stopped and smirked while not even bothering to turn and look back at him.

"Hmm…I don't think I should tell you," the pink Organic chuckled.

"Why not?" Robot asked with disappointment.

"I don't even know you," she simply replied, and then she left without another word. And before Robot could gather up enough courage to go after her, Monster suddenly returned from the bathroom.

"Huh, that's weird. I was only in the bathroom for a few minutes, and yet you look really energized. That coffee must be REALLY strong," Monster pointed out with surprise.

But Robot tended to ignore him as he continued to think about that odd Organic he just met, and he couldn't stop thinking about her, even as the two headed back to their apartment building for the night.

But as soon as they walked through the door, they both gasped to find a very unexpected guest lying on the couch and watching the tube.

"Lily, you're here! I'm so glad to see you again!" Monster giggled as he picked up the very same pink fur-colored Organic that Robot met at the Makin' Bacon, not even fifteen minutes ago, in a big hug.

"Alright, alright, Monster! I get it! You're happy ta see me, but I can't breath!" Lily laughed while practically having the air squeezed out of her, and Monster gave her one last big squeeze before putting her down.

"Robot, this is my big sister, Lily. Lily, this is-."

"Jonathan Henry Default, so nice to finally meet you. I'm Lilith Delores Coraline Krumholtz—but you can call me 'Lily'," Lily interrupted her brother and shook Robot's hand, even though his hand, and the rest of the body, was completely limp with shock that this was the same Organic he just met.

"You…but I just…how did you…?" Robot tried to find the right words.

"I thought you were at work, Lily," Monster cut in.

"I'm on my lunch break," Lily simply replied, "and with my free time, I thought I'd stop by and see my favorite little brother and his best friend that he'd told me SO much about in his letters and phone calls."

"Yeah, right, I'm your ONLY little brother," Monster chuckled while ruffing up Lily's black locks a bit, in which she chuckled darkly and pushed his hands away.

"So…" Robot cut in when he was finally able to find his voice, "you're this so-called big sister I've literally only known about since earlier today? Ok, well, little note of advice: no one calls me by my full name. It's just 'Robot', thank you very much."

"Robot, be nice," Monster growled quietly.

"Nah, he's fine. I've dealt with much grumpier men before. Anyway, I think my fifteen minutes are almost up, so I'd better get going before Nessie fires me. See you again soon, Monster!"

With that, Lily left with a smile and a wave, and as Monster was smiling a huge smile, Robot was left shocked and speechless that he actually got to see her again…since his history with women hasn't been very good.

"See? I told you you'd like her," Monster happily pointed out.

Yeah, so, those of you who remember my other Robot and Monster fanfic with the same title as this one, the reason for that is basically because the first one was just SO bad, so I just decided to delete it.

But if you don't know what I'm talking about, then don't worry about it. Any other way, I hope you will all enjoy the story!

Until the next chapter, I'm TRikiD, bye-bye!
