ANOTHER Marvin and Lilly fic… I realize probably a great deal of you are rolling your eyes into the back of your head right about now… but I promise that this one is a little more interesting then the last… yeah. This particular idea came from one of my friends, and a drawing I drew, so… Hope you all enjoy!

"Please Marvin? Can we just land on some planet already! We've literally been stuck on this ship for a week. I need to get off this hunk of metal, and just stretch my legs already." Emphasizing her point as she attempted to stretch her short legs out, making a cracking sound.

"Lilly, don't be so petulant. We've only been on this ship for 3 days." Marvin stated as he kept his eyes glued to the abyss of space a head of him. "Besides, I'm on orders of the Queen to scout out this quadrant. We don't want any threats heading towards Mars…"

"Or Earth!" Lilly cut in.

"Indeed…" Marvin mumbled cynically. Lilly, slightly annoyed, walked up to him and leant against his oversized chair.

"Well, what kind of threats are we looking for anyway?"

"You know… Space Pirates, huge organic life forms traveling through space, comets…"

"Wait! Comets? But Marv, there are comets everywhere. I wouldn't really consider them a "threat"." Lilly said while making air quotes. Marvin merely chuckled.

"Oh Lilly, I'm not talking about these little comets," Marvin said as he pointed to one of the small comets passing by the ship. "I'm talking about, colossal, immense, massive comets! Comets so huge they could wipe out planets of all sorts. Comets so great they could… they could…" But Marvin stopped his rather dramatic monologue as he looked over to notice that Lilly was twirling a strand of her ponytail hair in her finger.

"Oh, jut really big comments alright." He said falling back into his chair.

"Marvin, seriously, I like space and all, but don't you think this is a little ridiculous? I need ground! Solid, hard, ground. I feel like I'm always trapped on this ship." She said falling back into her own chair, crossing her arms.

"Well what about your hover board? Can't you use that to leave the ship?" Marvin asked smugly.

"Marv, I can only use the hover board when I'm close to ground, you know that! That thing loses power so easily, that if I flew out into space, I don't know I'd come back."

"Well then, allow me to be the first to open the air lock…" Marvin muttered under his breath.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing." He replied quickly. There were a few moments of silence, until the sound of X-25's monitor could be heard retracting from the ceiling.

"Commander, we've reached the end of the Quadrant."

"And there's nothing X-25?"

"Just a few sightings of comets, but none big enough to harm Mars…"

"HMM HMM!"

"Or uh, Earth in anyway sir."

"Finally! You see Lilly; you can now stop your insistent whining. We're flying back to Mars." Marvin said as he carefully and swiftly turned the ship around.

"Marv, I don't think I'm "whining." I'm making a very reasonable, and rational claim here… I need to get off of this stikin' ship!" She said shouting the last part rather loudly.

"Lilly, my job requires me to be in space 99% of the time… you knew that when you decide to stay here."

"I know Marvin, it's just… huh… forget it." Throwing her arms down in defeat. "You've probably got a million things to do, so I won't bug ya for the rest of the trip home." With that said, Lilly dragged herself from the room. Once she left, the room was dead silent for a moment, until Marvin glanced up at X-25's monitor that is.

"Oh no! No, no, no, you can't guilt trip me into this one X-25." Marvin said as he leapt from his oversized chair. "We've all got things that we don't want to do sometimes, Lilly should be able to understand that."

"But Commander, it's different for miss Lilly. You and I are use to being confined here all the time. Miss Lilly needs to be out, to run around and play."

"You make her sound like she's some kind of puppy X-25. Besides what would you have me do? Give her her own spaceship?" The monitor then tilted it's screen ever so slightly to the side, as though in thought.

"Well… perhaps that's not a bad idea." Marvin looked at the monitor as if it had burst into a million flames.

"X-25 I was joking! Lilly can't have her own ship. I don't even think she knows how to drive this ship."

"But Commander I'm not talking about a ship of this caliber. I was thinking something perhaps a bit smaller… maybe big enough for two?" Marvin looked at her, now intriguingly, drumming his gloved fingers against one of the control panels.

"Well… perhaps… no! Simply out of the question. I couldn't be responsible for Lilly flying through space constantly, on her own no less. I think its bad enough she rides that hover-board contraption on a daily basis. If she were to get hurt I'd…" He stopped himself mid-sentence, realizing he was prattling.

"X-25, I won't allow Lilly to fly through space with no training, and unattended in a small vehicle." He said turning on his heel to walk away. Suddenly another monitor screen retracted from the ceiling meeting Marvin in the face.

"But Commander what if she had training." Marvin looked at the monitor curiously, lowering one of his non-existent brows.

"What exactly are you getting at here X-25?"

"What I mean is… what if you taught her." Marvin's now confused face, was one of slight shock.

"M-Me? But I don't… I mean…"

"Oh come now Commander! You pilot this ship on a day-to-day basis. I'm positive that you could teach miss Lilly to operate a slightly smaller version of this ship. And perhaps, you could even download my programming into the ship, so that if miss Lilly was to get into trouble I could assist her." Marvin turned on his heel, contemplating the idea. Maybe it would do Lilly some good to learn how to operate another transportation device.

"Well… I… I'll have to think about it." Marvin said making his way back to his chair. "However, right now it's most important that we get back to Mars, so please put your alert systems back on X-25."

"Alright Commander. Just think about it." With that, X-25's monitor screen reclined back into the ceiling, and Marvin, once again glued his eyes to the vast abyss of space ahead of him.

Looks like Marvin's got some thing's to think about. I'm not entirely sure where this story is heading, but I've got a fairly good idea. I'm really just writing it for fun, plus I feel like I haven't written anything in FOREVER! Anyway, hope you all liked the first chapter! R & R!
