Chapter 1: The Plugs and the Sockets

AN: His toast his hot like a babe (you'll geddit ;))). SO to Tara for the inspiration!

The Brave little toaster was sitting and looking out of the window of his new modern apartment having just been fixed by the master. He always loved getting the masters attention because that meant that he was his favorite. The master was currently doing an interview for his college sp all of the appliances were home alone and could move around all they wantewd. It was good to be home where the master was.

"Hey toaster" Radio said in his 50s announcer voice. "Somethings wrong with Kirby. We have to go check on him in the closet". Toaster was nervous. He didn't like being the leader when something was wrong with his friends. He used his little toasters feets to hop off of the window and to the closet where Kirby the Vacuum was in stoarge.

Kirby was alwayas really salty. Probably because he didn't habe any arms. Kirby couged up some dust like he was sick which made toaster really nervous. He couldn't get sick, the master had just fixed him! He opened the closet door with a squeak and Kirby sat there looking like he had just cleaned up kitty litter. He doesn't DO kitty litter. Toaster nervously peaked in.

"Hey Kirby? You okay? I heard you were sick and thought I would check up on you". Kirby looked at him with his mean vaccuum eyes.

"Yeah Toaster, I am sick. The master cleaned his room before he left this morning and it was real dusty under his bed. I need to be emptied" Kirby said coughing again. Toaster didn't know what this meahnt and looked a him.

"Oh. So you're going to have to wait for the master to come home and clean you out?" He said worried about how Kirby was feeling. Kirby continued

"The master could be gone all weekend. I might have to stay like this for days. You don't want me to suffer do you?" Toaster looked nervkus. He wasnt getting the message.

"Toast, you gotta empy my bag, I'm all full up," Kirby problaimed. Toaster was nervous. He had never been in Kirbys bag before. Toaster laughed nervously.

"stop getting upset Toasty, I'd do it myself byt i don't have arms" Klirby continued. "You gotta do it, or else I'll huff and puff and blow everything all over the house." That frightened Toasty even more. He master would be upset if he came home ot a messy house.

"Alright, I'll do it," Toasty sed nercously. He was very nervous. He didn't want to climb into Kirby, but as the leader, he recognized it was his duty. Toasty hopped uyp and unzipped Kirby's bag, ready to clear it out.

It was messy in there. Toasty coughed as the dust started to pour into the slots of his toaster parts. "It's awfully dsuty in here Kirby, you should clean more often," Toasty remarked.

"I would, but I don't have arms, remember?" Kirby angrily responded. Toasty got back to work, attempting to clear out Kirby's bag for him. It didnt look nearly full enough to be making Kirby spit out dust, it was only halfway filled. "Something else must be causing him promblems" Toaster thought out loud. Kirby couldn't understand him because Toaster was still in his bag.

As Toaster looked around for what could be making Kirby sick he saw something moving in the piles of dirt. "I didn't know that the master had any pets. It must have gotten suxkwd up in Kirbys bag last time he was cleaning the apartment". Toaster wobbled over careful not to step on it.

Toaster wiped away the dust from the moving clump and saw something shiny and metallic. What he saw was a small appliance like he had never seen before. It looked like a tiny toaster! But it was strang, it also had a tiny bag on his back like that of a vaccuum cleaner and the slot on top of its head looked like it sucked stuff rather than heated things up. Toaster was nervously shocked. He din't know what this meant and wanted an explanation.

He climbed out of Kirbys bag holding the tiny pouched toaster and showed it to Kirby. "I found this in the bag" the confused little toaster said with suspicion. Kirby looked much better now but also very guilty. "Oh toaster, I knew this would happen." Kirby the vaccum said sadly. "Knew what would happen?" Tasoter said even more confused. "Toaster, when two appliances get very close to each other, sometimes their love can cause a new appliance to form between them," Kirby began to explain. "The bond we shared through our adventures to reunite with the master must have breated this beauty."

"But how can that be?" Toaster exclaimed "I thought you were a boy vaccuum!" He exclaimed!

"What did you want to be a gay?" Kirby said looking angry and happy at the same time. "We have a ababy now Toaster! This is really special!' Kirby plugged himself in and zoomed over to meet his new baby.

But Toaster was still confused "Well what is it? It looks like a toaster but also a vaccuum. Look, he has a bag just like yours"

"He's ours, and he's perfect," Kirby said sweetly. "He's so adorable."

Toaster didn't want to admit it, but the more he looked at his child, the more he began to feeel a warm feeling within him. He didn't want to say it, but he felt happy looking at his son, and proud to know that he helped bring this beautiful appliance into the world.

Toaster Hopped into the kitchen with his new son to tell the other kitchen appliances the good news.

"Hey guess what everybody. Kirby and I have a son! I just delivered him int the hall closet!" Most of the appliabnces looked thrilled at the good news but Lampy, who was hanging out with the faucet, looked appalled.

"Holy mother of edison! Whats the master going to say when he comes home and sees that?". Toaster frowned. He hadn't thought what master would say about his new bundle of joy.

"Lampy!" Blanket cried out slithering in from the bedroom."Thats not a very nice thing to say! The master loves all of us" but Lamoy wasn't convincved.

"But thats because the rest of us are useful. What is that thing and what does it do?" Toaster looked down as the squiggly little toaster baby. Lamp was sort of right. What was the master going to do about a littkle toastre with a vaccuum bag attatched to it? Toaster sadly wobbled back into the living room feeling disappointed all over again. Kirby looked concerened.

"What's wrong? Don't they like our child?" She said. "No" Toaster replied. "They are all worried about what the master will think about him. They don't think the master will let us keep him. Kirby gasped in horror. "No! You don't think …" she trailed off. The toaster nodded sadly and looked nervous about how to break this to his sweet, gentle Kirby.

"I think we might have to give him up for adoption" He said. Kirby pretended not to care but was secretly depressed about the thought of giving up the child vaccuum. He was going to be named Dustyn, after Kirby's father. Toaster went back to the kitched to grab a piece of bread to taost while he thought things over. The sad couple (well not couple because they werent dating) said their goodbyes and prepared to give up Dustyn. The modern appliances knew just what to do. When the baby was brought up to the windowsill they threw him out into the dumpster below just like they did when they were jealous of the old appliacnces. Dustyn was then carried away to Ernies Disposal junkyard where maybe he would be given a new home but would proably be taken care of by rhe junkyard crusher

Toaster and Kirby were sad but they knew it was for the best.

"I need a smoke," Toaster said sadly, after having to get rid of his child. He grabbed anoter piece of toast and sat out on the window-sill. Overlooking Ernier's disposal, and thinking of his little Dustyn, Toaster sat a piece of bread in his toasty bits and began to burn it. He let out a single tear as he thought of the things htat had happened today. But only one tear because he iddnt want to short circuit himself.
