A/N: So like the summary says, this will be a collection of random tales of various silliness. Reviews are appreciated, of course. And I'd love to hear any suggestions/requests about what these two should do next!
And if any of you guys want even more humorous Nefarious adventures, feel free to check out my other fic, Supermarket Chaos. So far, it's my favorite out of the stories I've posted on this site.

Movie Night
Set sometime during Up Your Arsenal:
On board the massive star cruiser known as The Leviathan, Dr. Nefarious was preparing his personal office for what he called "Movie Night Friday." He had dimmed all the lights, pulled up a huge comfy sofa in front of his enormous holo-screen, and last but not least, taped a great big "Do Not Disturb" sign over the door.
He rubbed his metallic hands together as he glanced over the arrangements. "Perfect! And now to decide what to watch." The robotic supervillain waltzed over to the shelves on the far wall, where he proudly displayed his complete collection of Secret Agent Clank holo-disks.
He stood there for quite a while, debating and muttering to himself. Finally, a particular title seemed to catch his eye. He pulled it out and peered at its cover. A small green-eyed android dressed in a tuxedo was posed in front of a bright fiery explosion.
"Ooh, this is the one with the robot ninjas and the mutant space squirrels!" Nefarious practically squealed in excitement as he rushed to pop the disk in HVD player. Then he flung himself onto the sofa and grabbed the remote. "Lawrence! Hurry up and get in here! It's starting!"
Minutes went by.
"LAWRENCE! I'm not going to keep it paused forever, you know! Don't blame me if you miss the beginning!"
As if on cue, the door opened and in came the doctor's squat butler.
"It's about time!" complained Nefarious, looking over his shoulder at the other robot. "What took you so long?"
"Well, sir, I assumed you didn't want to be disturbed," Lawrence replied in his usual monotone.
"And what made you think that?"
"The 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door, sir?"
"Oh, right." Nefarious coughed. "Well, anyway, get over here and sit down!" He pushed over and thumped the free space on the couch beside him.
"If you insist." The butler looked positively bored as he settled into his designated seat. Nefarious made a dramatic show of waving the remote around like a wand as he pressed the 'resume' button. A few credits rolled by and the film began with a soft sneaking spy tune. Suddenly, a loud explosion lit up the giant screen.
Nefarious gave a shrill shout and instinctively jumped into Lawrence's arms. "I always forget about that part!" he shook his clawed fist at the movie before climbing back down. Lawrence brushed himself off.
The next five minutes passed uneventfully as they both watched the tiny Secret Agent infiltrate a ninja hideout. He was currently dodging flying Shuriken and laser beams. Nefarious was on the edge of his seat, while Lawrence appeared ready to doze off.
"You know something, Lawrence?" the doctor asked once the suspenseful scene was over. "You never sit down and watch anything with me like this."
"Well, sir, that's because usually right about now you ask me to – "
"I'm hungry. Go get me some popcorn! Oh, and some water while you're at it! Also, fetch me my fluffy slippers. You know, the ones with the evil frowny faces on them?"
"Right away, sir," Lawrence got up with a small sigh and turned toward the door. "Did you want 'buttery white' or 'kettlecorn?'"
"Yes." Nefarious was completely distracted. He waved a hand to shoo the butler away.
Lawrence exited and closed the door behind him. "If only he put that amount of focus into his evil schemes."
As he walked down the hallway, he heard the supervillain shout again in surprise. A metallic thud promptly followed, telling him Nefarious must have jumped and missed the couch.
Oh yes, Movie Night was always entertaining.
