I do NOT own Ratchet and Clank!

For all the girls out there, you will like this chapter a lot!

NOTE: This is my very first fan fiction! I like the Ratchet and Clank series a lot so I might as well make a fan fiction for it!

Chapter 1: Unexpected Night

It was a bright and sunny day at Ratchet's home. Clank decided to visit him and he brought some things that he needed to show Ratchet. They were inside a large sack.

"Hey Ratchet want to see what I made?"

"Sure what is it? Some kind of device?"

"No, its—" Clank pauses and reaches into his sack. He seemed to be having trouble getting the item outside of the bag, so Ratchet willingly helps him.

"A helmet? This is for...?"

"Not just a helmet! It is made from nanotech technology and other stuff, it actually simulates you and makes you feel like your in the game." Clan k explains.

"Ahem, what game? A video game?"

"Yes a video game... Any video game you choose."

Ratchet rushes to his room and scouts his room for his VG9000 game system (that he took from the Starship Phoenix) and his copy of Final Phantasy IX. He rushes to set up the system in the living room.

"Clank! Which wire goes to which socket? I think the red one goes with the yellow one but I'm not too sure..." Ratchet says in a daze.

"Figure it out Ratchet, your smarter than this..."

"Oh now I know, the red goes with the white socket... and yellow to yellow.. and I'm sure white goes with red."

"Damn it Ratchet! That is all wrong besides the yellow socket! They all correspond to the socket color!!!"

Clank seemed flustered by Ratchet's confusion with the plugs. Never has Ratchet seen Clank so mad.

"I know Clank, I was just messing with you, anyways how many of those helmets did you make?"

"Enough for me, you, and two other guests."

"Hmm, want to invite Talwyn, and Courtney Gears."

"Sure, I'll go call them. Don't do anything rash Ratchet."

Clank goes to call up Talwyn first.

"Hello, this is Talwyn. What's up Ratchet?"

"Talwyn, this is Clank, do you think you can come by Ratchet's house now? We need to show you something."

"Okay, I'll be there at around 7 PM."

"Sure thing. See you soon"

Clank gazed at the digital clock on the microwave. It reads 6:48. Clank was pretty sure Ratchet can handle 12 minutes without a video game. He hangs up and dials Courtney Gears's number.

"Hello?"

"This is Clank, Ms Gears, want to come over to Ratchet's house? We need to discuss some matters."

"Alright, I'll come there at around 7."

"Okay, bye."

"Well what's the news Clank?"

"They will be here shortly, around 7."

"Aww that is like an hour from now!"

"Ten minutes from now Ratchet, be patient."

"Alright, anyways what to do to kill ten minutes?

"Maybe you should put on some clothes Ratchet"

Ratchet realizes he is in his home clothes. He starts walking to his room.

"Maybe you should actually put some clothes on Clank"

"Are you saying I am naked? I am a robot I don't need clothes!!"

Ratchet laughs, "Heh, you should consider to!" He closes his door and decides on what to wear.

Clank rolls his eyes and goes to his sack were he has the helmets in. He says to himself, "Luckily I am prepared..." He takes out his Secret Agent Clank outfit and starts putting on his pants.

Ratchet opens the door. He doesn't have a shirt on, and is in his underwear. "Clank!? Where did I put my tuxedo outfit? I want to look spiffy."

"Ratchet seriously put some clothes on!"

"All you have is pants on!" Ratchet says angrily.

Outside a few seconds later, two space ships approach Ratchet's home. One was Talwyn's, the other was actually a limousine. Talwyn rushes to the door and barges in. Courtney Gears follows soon after.

"Hey— OH MY BLARGIAN SNAGGLEBEAST! Ratchet! Put something on!" Talwyn says as she blushes a deep red blush. (VERY DEEP)

Ratchet's cheeks also flare up red. "Talwyn... Hey...."

"Boy is it getting hot in here or what?" Gears says, "Clank-chan, put your shirt on dear."

"Will do Ms. Gears, wait wha? Clank-chan? Are you intending me for a little child?"

Ratchet shuts the door and locks it.

(Thinking to himself) I am such an idiot! In front of Talwyn almost naked! I don't think I can exit this room now!

Talwyn whispers to Gears, "I think Ratchet is setting up dates..."

"Girl, your not the only one thinking that." Gears replies.

Ratchet puts on his tuxedo AND pants and unlocks the door. Reluctantly he is turning the knob.

"Hey, Ratchet... about earlier... Let's erase that okay?" Talwyn says embarrassed.

"Will do."

"So what do you need to tell us?" Talwyn asks eagerly.

Clank butts in and says, "It is not very important, but I made virtual reality helmets. We want to test them out with you guys."

Ms. Gears and Talwyn look at the funny. Gears says, "So you made me come here just for a video game? 25,581,198,789 miles just for a stinkin' video game? Sure!!! I wanna play!"

Talwyn says, "Cronk and Zephyr should be fine by themselves. I hope Cronk wont eat the sofa again... Well lets get started?"

Clank hands the two ladies a helmet. Ratchet and Clank put on theirs and so did the two ladies. Ratchet eagerly starts up the game.

"Okay, now press the green button to the side of your helmet." Clank says, "Get ready for virtualization..."

Suddenly, sparks are flying around the house. The helmets seem to be malfunctioning!

"Boy, what is going on?? I'm too sexy to die!" Gears says.

"The helmets are stable, we are going to be virtualized, but it seems that there is a glitch!" Clank replies.

"Take the helmet off everyone!" Ratchet says.

"It stuck to my head!" Talwyn yelps.

Like a flash, they are gone. The four have disappeared.
