A.N. This was a story I wrote a while back, and I wanted to wait until Peachy-Author's birthday before posting it. Happy Birthday Peachy-Author!
It was a cold winter's night. Snaptrap was bitterly taking a walk, wanting to be relatively alone. He had another bad Christmas, one with his mom and other relatives constantly insulting him. And even though it was January he still was in a bad mood about it. Will he ever get a family member who'll never insult him?
Then he heard crying. Confused he turned and saw a little boy and a woman in an alley. The boy was the one who was crying.
"Mom come on, get up." He sobbed.
Snaptrap felt a pain in his heart. He had liked kids for a long time and so now couldn't stand to see a single kid upset. He reluctantly decided to do something about this.
"Excuse me?" He said gently.
Startled, the kid looked at him and fearfully ran behind his mom. Snaptrap wasn't surprised, he never saw this kid before so obviously the little guy didn't know about his kindness towards children.
"If you both need a warm place to stay you can come live with me." Snaptrap offered.
The boy cowered, still afraid, but the mom woke up slightly.
"Okay...anything to get my son out of the cold." She agreed weakly.
Snaptrap realized that the woman was sick, which also meant that she probably couldn't move very well. Reluctant again, Snaptrap gently picked up the woman and carried her back to D.O.O.M. Her son, not wanting to be separated from his mom, reluctantly followed. Snaptrap then saw that the boy and his mom were Guinea Pigs.
When they got there Snaptrap's pals were there too and were surprised.
"Snaptrap? What's with this generous action?" Francisco asked.
The boy then appeared and drew back upon seeing Francisco, Ollie, and Larry.
"Oh, never mind." Francisco shrugged.
He and the others knew about Snaptrap's fondness for kids after all, and so realized that Snaptrap was only doing this for the boy.
Snaptrap then carried the woman over to his bed and set her down, pulling the covers over her.
"Thank you." The woman said weakly. "I'm Jillian and this is my son Mike."
"Are you okay?" Snaptrap asked.
"No...I think I have pneumonia." Jillian shivered.
"Oh..." Snaptrap winced, he knew pneumonia was very bad for adults.
Snaptrap got more blankets and covered Jillian with them. Mike joined her side but still wouldn't come near Snaptrap. Snaptrap just shrugged and went back to his pals.
"Men, the woman Jillian has pneumonia so we're going to have to break from stealing jewels and such and switch to stealing medicine." Snaptrap said. "I'm not going to let her son Mike become an orphan. We're also going to have to get good food for her."
"Right boss." Ollie agreed.
"Okay." Francisco sighed. "Not as much fun as stealing jewels and cash but I'll do it for you."
So that's what they did. They stole medicine and also got good food for Jillian. They also tried to get a doctor but no doctor wanted to come to their lair and Jillian was too sick to be moved any further. She hardly even talked now.
