This started as something and came out the other end as something else entirely. This was going to be a crossover with the cartoon but it went a bit wrong. I'll write it still, so long as someone doesnt steal my idea. I'm watching you all. Lots of car talk, I really like cars. I know, I'm a chick, welcome to the 21st century. I'm actually tempted to do a pre-apprentice mechanics course, cant wait to see what my parents think.

Ignore my rant. ENOJY AND REVIEW!

As personal assistant and close (and possibly girl) friend of Tony Stark, Pepper knew that if something strange wasnt going on, something was wrong. Today, she wasn't be too sure how to catagorize.

The morning literally went off with a bang. Tony and Rhodey were testing something in the basement while Pepper tapped away at her keyboard and the builders banged away upstairs. Being momentarily distracted, Tony failed to notice what Dummy was doing until the last possible moment. The trigger-happy robot was feet away from Rhodey but before he could say anything, the colonel was being douced in foam. The shock of the attack caused him to blast a whole through a car. Pepper's car. Pepper herself jumped a mile high, smashing her laptop on the floor.

"Rhodey!"

"Rhodey!"

"It was Dummy!"

With her Audi and laptop beyond repair, Pepper was stuck for the afternoon. Tony wanted to spend it making out, but she quickly veto'd the idea, no matter how much his pouting tempted her. His second idea was dragging her out of the house to find her a new car. Pepper was more than happy to simply replace the car she had, but, as per usual, Tony wasnt having it.

Any kind of Lexus was out, Pepper refuses to buy a Spyder because she wants a normal R8, Tony refuses to buy a Mini, no matter how much she begs and Happy is getting a headache from listening to them argue.

"I dont see why I cant have another R8?"

"You've had it for what? 3 years?"

"I had a perfectly good 87 Toyota Supra until one of your 'dates' decided to steal it because she thought it was yours."

"I apologized for that with the R8."

"Then why cant you just replace the R8?"

"Happy, help me out here."

"I have a headache. Please just buy her an R8."

Tony felt deflated but otherwise complied. He couldnt even convince her to paint it gold or red.
