Hi! Just a few notes:
1) Constructive criticism is very very much appreciated!
2) HelpTheWorld does NOT own HIVE, because if she did, Lucy would have never gotten Otto.
I hope you enjoy this one! Sorry if the characters are a little to OOC.
Rainy Date?
"Please?" begged Otto. "C'mon Shelby!"
"No."
Ah! A savior! "Wing! Please! You gotta help me! Please! It's life or death here!"
Wing frowned. "Otto, you do recall the last time you asked me for help, right? You DO remember what happened, right?"
Otto stopped for a moment. He remembered barging into his cell-sorry-room while yelling for Wing to help him. And then…oh. "THAT'S the reason Wing didn't want to help him (and probably Shelby's reason)," He thought. If Laura and him were having a make-out session, he wouldn't like to be interrupted by his hysterical best friend.
Wing nodded while Shelby turned away from Otto. Wing said, "I helped you with that 'issue' of trying to ask Laura on a date. Now what is it this time?"
"Mentioning 'The Date', I need help. Laura isn't the one for romanticisms, but I want to find out if kisses in the rain are much better than ones without. Consider it a science experiment."
Shelby interrupted, "Otto. I hate to break it to ya, but this is HIVE. There is n-"
"No rain. I know that, which is why I need your help."
"We aren't Quantum Nerds like you and Laura. We can't build a 'Rain-Making-Machine' on a whim like that, right big guy?"
Wing nodded. Otto shook his head and waggled his finger as if he were reprimanding a small child. "You poor poor sad sorry pathetic human beings. I don't need a machine. In fact, I have a much better and different idea."
-Line Break-
The couple sat on a ledge in the grappling cavern. "This was much better first date than I thought it was going to be Otto. Thanks for asking me." Laura said.
"Yeah well, that's me, being awesome. By the way, can you help me with something?"
"Depends what it is."
"Well, there's this theory that I need to test out."
"Okay, maybe I can help you. Wha-"
*drip…drip…SPLASH*
"Is this…water? But…how is it raining at HIVE? We're not even outside?!" Laura was confused.
Otto laughed. "This is the experiment I need to test out…um…you HAVE watched older 'classic' movies, right? Yeah, y'know how many involve kissing in the rain right? Well…I…"
Laura raised an eyebrow. "So you're saying, in other words, you want to kiss. Am I right?"
Otto flushed. Laura, with red cheeks, laughed. "I'll take that as a yes, then." She leaned in.
-Line Break-
Shelby whispered to Wing, "I know this is cute and all, but why may I ask you, did you agree to this?"
Wing said, "I don't know."
"Didn't you say last time, with the 'I-need-you-to-test-my-high-powered-laser-that-is- immovable-and-incidentally-pointing-at-Nero's-offi ce' incident, that you would never promise to help him again?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I wonder when we can stop."
"Either when Otto gives the signal, they stop, or we run out of water."
"I reckon it's the last."
"Yeah."
The couple, with tiring arms, held two watering cans, on a ledge high above the occupied couple.
"I have to say though, it's kinda cute."
"Mmm…"
