Summary: And to think it all started out with a simple tickle fight. Robotboy and Tommy return home after another triumph against Kamikazi. Little do they know that Lola awaits their return and soon drags Tommy into the experience of a lifetime: having your very first girlfriend. Curious, Robotboy decides he wants to have a "girlfriend" and allows himself to love Robotgirl. As Kamikazi plans his next plan for attack, Protoboy and his ally, Robotman, return and unite to take down Robotboy once and for all. With two new relationships and the return of all the Moshimo robots, the most epic romance in Robotboy history commences.
A/N: This was a request I undertook from DarthWill3 and, what began as a simple, light-hearted, cute event, sprouted one of my first romance fictions for ANY archive. Actually, it's technically the first since it was created way before my little Portal one was. The prologue's short, but we'll come back to that later.
As he ran, Tommy couldn't help but think back on the current situation. Wasn't it just yesterday that they had sat around the TV watching a new episode of "The Human Fist?" Wasn't it yesterday when Robotboy asked him some silly question involving pudding and birds? Wasn't it last night when all of his friends and the people he cared about were still safe?
Wasn't it this morning when his whole world came crashing down?
Robotboy, he had risen so high and then hurtled towards the ground at breakneck speeds, both metaphorically and literally. He had grown up too fast, experienced things that shouldn't have been possible. Then again, Tommy himself shouldn't have witnessed any of that stuff to begin with. Their entire group faced way too much in too little time. Normalcy would never be returning to any of them.
Lola, there was something special there and their friendship had become stronger…and something more. Sure, they were ten, but what the heck? They'd known each other since preschool, maybe even before then. Even so, they never would have guessed that at the mere age of ten, they'd be boyfriend and girlfriend. For both of them, it had been great…until Gus decided to spill everything with that big mouth of his. Tommy couldn't blame him at all; it had just been a slip of the mouth to the wrong person at the wrong time.
Looking back on it all, it all started with Tommy's choice yesterday afternoon. Maybe, if he had chosen differently, he wouldn't be running to save his girlfriend, Lola wouldn't be five steps away from death's door, Gus wouldn't be attacked by Kamikazi's minions, Moshimo wouldn't be risking life and limb for his creation, Robotgirl wouldn't be heartbroken and Protoboy and Robotman wouldn't be trying to kill them all.
But worst of all, if he had chosen differently, Robotboy wouldn't be discarded in the corner completely forgotten.
Robotboy wouldn't be dead.
