Chapter 1: Le Chanteur

It was finally the end of the day, an exhausting one at that. The crew had worked nonstop since the sun came up and they were all glad to finally finish up. Jenny had disappeared into her lab hours ago to work on something for a new mission coming up and hadn't been seen since, though the boys were far too distracted to notice. Dex looked up from his wrist com with a tired grin.

"Alright guys, I think that's it. Good work today," Tung gave a half-hearted cheer from his slouched position on the floor.

"Finally dude," with no other comment he pulled himself up and ambled out the door in a quest to find a snack. Dex shook his head with an amused expression before turning to the pilot.

"Before you head off could you check up on Jenny and let her know? I've still got some things to do,"

"Whatever you say boss," Zap replied with a mock salute before turning (a little too enthusiastically) to walk out the door. Once he was gone Dex yawned and rubbed his eyes, turning to the computer screen as he did.

"One more thing," he smiled to himself as he pulled up Jane's contact and dialled.

Zap hummed to himself as he made his way towards the lab, always happy for an excuse to see the engineer. This had grown over the past few weeks since the incident with her clone. It had started as a casual check up to concerned glances over his shoulder. Though he told himself he did this because they were friends and work colleagues and that's what friends did.

He was sure she didn't see him that way anyway.

As he arrived at his destination he noticed the door to the lab was slightly open. What surprised him even more was what he heard inside.

Let's go in the garden, you'll find something waiting.

Right there where you left it lying upside down.

Confused he peaked through the door and saw Jenny at one of the benches. She was slightly hunched over and was fiddling with something in her hands. There was no music he could hear, and with a start he realised it was her.

When you finally find it, you'll see how it's faded.

The underside is lighter when you turn it around.

She spun around in her chair and Zap retreated behind the door, eyes wide in surprise. Her voice was soft and smooth. And beautiful, oh god it was so beautiful. His stomach flipped and he decided that in this moment he fell for her.

Everything stays, right where you left it.

Everything stays, but it still changes.

He peeked around the door again and found her by the sink with a cloth, cleaning whatever it was she was working on. Beside her Habi Bot swayed in time to the lyrics, his eyes flicked over to the door and winked at the pilot as if to affirm that the voice indeed belonged to the engineer.

Ever so slightly. Daily and nightly

In little ways

When everything stays.

Zap leant back against the door and closed his eyes as Jenny repeated the song, he noticed how much emotion escaped in her voice, and combined with the lyrics it felt sad, lonely but very calming. In his mind he decided to find out the name of the song so he could listen to the music later, but for now he was very satisfied with just listening to her voice.

When she went quiet again Zap twirled and stood in the doorway, knocking on the frame and (regretfully) breaking the moment. Jenny let out a small squeak and whirled to face him like a deer in the headlights.

"Ah-Zap Wha-what a-ar-," she stopped and took a breath. "What are you doing here?" he raised his eyebrows at her attempt to cover up what she had been doing and shrugged it off.

"Dex has called the rest of the night off. He told me to tell you,"

"Ah is that right? Well thank you for telling me-" she turned back around and hurriedly picked up the thing she was working on. Zap didn't move, instead he leant on the bench and crossed his arms.

"So that's it? No 'Thank you for telling me Zap. Now I can go to bed'?"

"Yep that it," she replied quickly. Still noticing his presence she huffed and turned back around.

"You can go now,"

"Awe but I'd rather stay here and keep you company," he whined playfully. She sent him a glare before continuing to clean the little object.

"Fine but don't get in my way," there was a long silence after that, Zap looked around the room trying to think of a way to bring up her singing. The only sounds came from the tools that the clone occasionally picked up or put down. Something tapped his arm and Zap looked down at Habi, who motioned with one of his claws at the girl in front of them. The pilot shifted his position before clearing his throat.

"So-uh, that was some nice singing," Jenny made a noise and dropped the tool she was holding with a clang.

"A- that, w-well that, um it was-" she stumbled over her words in an effort to find an excuse. "Habi! Yeah he keeps replaying that recording over and over," the little bot flew into the air and shook his head vigorously, rolling his eyes.

"Really? Cause he seems to disagree," Jenny flushed red in embarrassment

"It, yeah it was me," she admitted quietly. Zap felt slightly bad for bringing it up but smiled.

"Your voice is really beautiful. Why don't you sing more often?"

"Because it's embarrassing!" she said, looking anywhere but him. "I don't like people hearing me. I'm judged enough as it is and it was the one thing I could keep it to myself," she looked up at him and glared. "Of course until now,"

"Who says we judge you?" he asked suddenly. Her glare turned to confusion. "I certainly don't, if you think it's because you're the only girl here then you're wrong. You have more guts than the three of us combined. And no one else knows you're a clone so the media can't judge you either. If anything, you're the most normal person here to them,"

She smiled at his speech. "I know, but still. I just don't like people gawking at me, you know?" he nodded.

"More than anyone," he opened his wings for a few seconds and Jenny chuckle. "Still, you should sing more. I would rather hear you than Tung's constant complaining. And I think the others would agree," he stood up fully and walked towards the door.

"Have a good night Jenny,"

"You too," the door closed with a soft click and the engineer was left alone again. Habi landed on her shoulder with a smug look on his face.

"Don't give me that look, I'm sure this was your plan, how else could he have heard me," Habi made a laughing sound and landed on the desk.

"Of course, you left the door open," she flopped into her seat. "Do you realize how embarrassing that is? It's as bad as someone walking on you in the shower!" the bot merely shrugged at her ranting. Resting her chin in one hand she rocked the invention with her finger.

"Still, he said it was nice, even beautiful," a small smile spread across her face and her heart pounded at the thought. "Zap thinks my singing is beautiful," Habi nudged her arm with a sly grin.

"No, I do not think of him that way. I just like what he said," Habi's smirk didn't change and she rolled her eyes. "Okay, I liked it a lot, but it was just a compliment. Probably the nicest thing anyone has said to me," she turned her gaze to the gadget in front of her and picked up the tool she had dropped.

Habi turned away from her, satisfied that he had gotten his creator to open up about her hidden talent. He may be a robot but he knew feelings when he saw them, Zap had a crush on her and she had one on him, they just didn't see it. So Habi decided to make it his mission to get them together, after all, what so bad about giving romance a bit of a push.

Thinking about Hidden talents, Habi knew the habitat like the back of his claw, not to mention all of the secrets. Every person in the crew had a little talent the others didn't know about, and Zap finding out Jenny could sing gave the little bot an idea. He rubbed his claws together as a plan formed in his mind.

This was going to be fun.

Done! So in this story each character is going to find out what another's little talent is individually then all at once. So this chapter was Zap finding out about Jenny's talent, I thought it would be sweet if she could sing. I was inspired to write this by the Adventure Time song that Marceline sings called Everything Stays. It was so beautiful I couldn't resist. In the next chapter Jenny will discover one of the other's hidden talents (with help from Habi of course).

P.S Habi Bot is totally a Zenny shipper!

Who will be next?
