Part 1: of sleepy robots waking... Oops
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Tomorrowland Transit Athurity, known to many as the People Mover, or the Blue Line, could also make for a nice bed as well. Well, sort of. At least the large feline, known to the crowds that came to the parks, as Figaro, and the robot B.E.N. found it comfortable. The parks opened at nine for the magic Kingdom, meaning most, if not all, the rides had to be checked over, and tested, before the guests rode them.
Sleeping on the people mover, B.E.N. could be heard snoozing with mechanical tone to the sound emanating from his vox. "ZZZzzzZZZzzz..."
When the ride started up, and the train the robot and Xia, the fairylike being, who was sure to be realted to anyone other then Maleficent and the Blue Fairy, shifted form from human, to feline, sound asleep still as the train came from backstage, to the public. She was purring in tune to B.E.N.'s sleeping. It wasn't until the speakers activated saying "Attention vistors from Galaxy M141, please keep all arms legs and other apendages from oncoming metroliner trains." Xia lifted her head up to see what was up, and saw herself wondering why the roof was moving. Is it daylight already?
Jac stood at the TTA's entry area, since Tomorrowland was currently roped off to guests until nine thrity, she had only enough time to wake up the two sleeping passangers, but knew how B.E.N. would react, so that promted her to fist get some fresh oil, and a new 9CVT battery for him as well, best to start the day in a good mood. She had figured. Seventh train arrived at the platform. Where was the pair? Aha! There you two are! Jac thought spotting BEN's sleeping form, with one arm and both feet sticking out using one side for a pillow, along with Xia's feline forms tail acting as a submarine scope. The guy will sleep anywhere. Jac mused as she watched the train, number eight arrive at the station.
As the announcement blares, B.E.N., who is still sleeping, jerks wide awake and says, "Who, wha, Wahh!" and he falls with a clank and a clatter onto the floor of the people mover. While down there he says "Ow..." before picking himself, and his randomly strewn pieces, back up.
The sudden yelling of B.E.N. waking up made Xia sit bolt upright "I'm awake!!" she yelled right into Jac's face before realizing who was there, "Wait you're not Gepetto" she said finally seeing Jac through her sleepiness. "Is it time for work already?" she asked, already sounding bored, but then again it was hard to be bored with a hilarious robot right next to you.
B.E.N., after gathering all his pieces, plops himself next to Xia and starts putting himself back together. "Oh. Hi Jac. How are you this fine morning?" He states rather cheerfully after noticing Jac was there.
Jac tried her hardest to not laugh at the pair of people in front of her, both of them were crazy. in the sense of just plain nuts. But then again in the world of Dieny, anything could happen. B.E.N. him.... it... self was one of those reasons of what could possibly happen at work. "I'm am doing well." she said handing Xia her fravorite morning food (tuna & eggs), and the bottle of oil to B.E.N. as she got into the same car. "Did you two sleep well?"
"Yeah. Fine, fine." B.E.N. replies to Jac's question. He finishes putting himself back together and then grabs the oil from Jac and starts oiling himself, gargling when he squirts some in his mouth and swishes it around like mouth wash. He then stands up and says "So where we off to this morning?" as he starts to climb off the people mover after handing Jac back the oil. Unfortunately, without realizing it, B.E.N.'s legs were on backwards and instead of walking off the people mover, he walked up and over the seat and off the train that way, falling with a clatter on the other side. "Ow..."
Xia, staying spookingly calm said after B.E.N. hit the platform, "At least he fell out here rather then over Space Maountain like that last time" she said working hard at keeping a straight face, either that or totally lose her breakfast, which she loved, the cat side of her seemed to want the tuna, wherein the human side the eggs, so they ate both. But then when BEN fell out of the taincar for the TTA she set her food down and got out as well to help B.E.N. back inothe train as Jac watched, and the train she was in with Xia's food and B.E.N.'s oil, pulled away from the station, Jac with a huge grin on her face. "My food!" She said all but chucking B.E.N. into the next train and getting in after him, which then took off (albiet slowly) after Jac who was now most surely laughing.
Being still jumbled up from the fall, there wasn't much B.E.N. could do, except start working on himself all over again. Which was kinda hard when your arms were twisted the wrong way while you were jammed head over heels in the seat. "Xia! Get up to the Engine! This thing aint movin' fast enough!" He yells out to Xia, who still happens to be in cat form. He then starts poking at what pieces of himself he can reach to start putting himself back together properly.
"Like I can do that, we are in the front car of the TTA ya nitwit!" Xia said opening a small compartment, then seeing the mess of wires inside closing it right away, "I think I can wait to get my tuna for ten minutes." She said over the speakers system. She was opretty sure the people coming to the parks would be wondering what Figaro was doing on the TTA, but then not anybody knew who, or rather what, Figaro truly was. Then she noticed B.E.N. trying to put himself back together again. and never saw his legs. "I'm really glad you didn't fall into space mountain again." She said remembering the "fun" of searching for B.E.N.s left pinky for two weeks straight
"Ok then. NOW WOULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME PUT MYSELF BACK TOGETHER!" he yells frontwards, err... backwards... or whatever way he happens to be facing. He then manges to find his legs... or where they would be... "MY LEGS! WHA'D YOU DO WITH MY LEGS!" He yells in a frantic panic, waving his arms about. Unfortunately, the waving of the arms upsets his precarious balance and he falls off the side of the seat... and off the people mover. "AHHH...!!!"
"What the??" Xia asked aloud as B.E.N suddenly disappeared, "B.E.N.?? Oh great! LOOK OUT FOR THE.... next train" Xia said just as B.E.N was just barely able to grab the thing. Poor guy was all over the ride. Litterally.
B.E.N., barely managing to catch the next train, literally, hangs on for dear life as he flaps in the breeze. "AHHHH!!!"
Xia sat back on her haunches and rubbed her temple with one of B.E.N.s hands, thinking it her own, at least until it started to massage her temple did she relize it, "B.E.N ya nitwit why'd ya have to fall apart this morning?" She wonder aloud the ride passed into Space Mountain. "You better not let go of the train..." Now if only the Skyride were open, and he fell out onto somebody, or more perferably right in the Tom Sawyer Island Fort. that way they'd have a place to snooze without any trouble and be up by ten am.
B.E.N. yells back "WILL TRY NOT TOO!!!" as an eye falls off. "OOPS. THERE WENT MY EYE!"
Xia mentally kicked herself. She was the one that picked the TTA to sleep in the night before. If it were the Haunted Mansion, the organ would have, quite literally, spooked them both awake. "Ya just had to lose it inside space mountain did ya??" she yelled back to him. If B.E.N. could remember where he had lost his eye, which Xia was sure he wouldn't be able to to in the slightest, They could pick it up on the next pass through the ride. But Xia pretty much figured B.E.N. a victim of Alzheimer's, though it was not her fault that he lost part of his memoery codex to a bad download two months before. around the time he'd taken a dip on the Disney Wonder and nearly became nothing but a pile of rust.
As the TTA zooms onwards, with B.E.N. still holding on, the eye drops down inside of Space Mountain. "HEY LOOK! I CAN SEE US!" as the eye flips towards their direction. "OH MAN... I THINK I'M GONNA BE WOOZY!" He shouts up ahead.
"You can also feel us too, HEY!!" Xia said dropping B.E.N.'s hand to the floor of the TTA car she was in, it latched ionto her tail, "Stop dat!!" she shouted before yelling back to B.E.N. "You better hold it in until we come out of Space Mountain, once that happens you can toss your oil, but not until then!!" Xia said finally grabbing B.E.N.s hand and holding the thing.
Too late. B.E.N. lets go and all his oil he drank this morning comes rushing out. Some of it splashes onto his hand that's holding onto the TTA and it starts to slip. "NO NO NO NO NOooo...!" He shouts as he frantically tries to keep his hold, and fails. He falls from the TTA into Space Mountain.
Jac had no idea what had happened other then the ride coming to a halt due to faulty track at the station, once that was stopped, which jerked her forwards she wrote a quick note on on a piece of paper then set it next ot the oil and tune and eggs before hopping off the ride and heading back to where Ben fell off the ride, again, into Space Mountain. The day barely even started and they had to rescue the poor guy from his least favorite ride.
Xia picked up B.E.N.'s legs, then his hand, he had the rest of himself on him, as well as back at the station. Once she had his lower half, or whatever was left of it, she hopped out of the TTA and into space mountain. Looking for B.E.N. The guy could be anywhere in the huge expanse of a indoor rollercoaster. Xia wasn't much of a fan of Space Mountain herself, but Jac loved it. So Xia suffered through it when they went on it, not that Jac herself cared. At least the lights are on this time around. Xia thought as she got onto a stairway and headed downwards, looking for B.E.N.'s eye. "OK B.E.N., remmeber those times I said to not eyeball me? well. . . Forget I said that." Xi said as she geban looking for BEN's eye, not hearing him screaming on one of the trains. Poor guy was really going to be sick.
Poor B.E.N. When he fell, he just happened to land in the front seat of the first test run of the day. So, here he is, half put together, in the front seat of his least favorite ride. "AHHHHHH....!!!!" Xia can here his scream from where ever she is in the building.
As for his eye, B.E.N. gets quite a shock when Xia walks right over it. B.E.N.'s scream goes silent for an instant before it picks back up again.
Xia instantly ducked down and begain feeling in the dimm lighting for B.E.N.'s eye. At the exactly same instant BEN adn th etrain he was in sailed over her head like a rocket. "I found your eye.... I think, blink it will you so I know what this thing is?" Xia said, knowing B.E.N. would hear her due to his feet and hand. she had no iea if she picked up a piece of junk of B.E.N.'s actual eye, at this point she didn't care, she wanted her tuna and egg sandwich before it went bad, or before Sharl got to it.
The eye blinks a couple times, giving off a slight orange glow as it does so.
"I... SEEEE... YOOOOUUUUUAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" B.E.N. hollers back, the 'YOU' elongating into a scream as he drops down a decline in the track.
"Good I found it..." Xia said holding B.E.N.'s eye like a flashlight, even with the lights on for testing needs it was still dark in the building. "Lets see now... Uh oh" Xia felt a slight vibration in the floor she was standing on, and for good reason, she was standing on part of the track! Thankfully there was a piece over head, using B.E.N.'s legs she hooks a piece of track and pulled herself up, just as BEN sailed underneath her. "I'm thikning th eride is just about done!" She calkled to B.E.N. who was still screaming.
B.E.N., who is stll screaming, looks around to notice yes, the ride is almost done. Just a few more banks and turns and... "OHHHH MYYYY GOOOOAHHHHD....!!!" another drop... and it's into the station. B.E.N. sits there waiting to be removed from the train before he gets stuck on ANOTHER test run. "HELP!!! GET ME OFF OF HERE!!!..." he starts yelling repeatedly.
Sharl was checking out the space mountain ride when she noticed something fall towards the track of the ride, she called to her partner who was a few steps behind that she was gonna go to the control room for the ride, when she got there she noticed a blip on one of the cart of the ride mentioning someone was on the ride, she typed in n auto command for it to full stop when the ride finishes...
Cale watches Sharl run off into the ride, "You Stop The Ride, I'll Check The Carts!!", he shouts but notices she probably had that in mind already, Cale heads in up the customer entrance and heads up to the rails and waits for the next cart to stop...
Xia dropped next to Cale, "Good morning" the gray clothed woman.... fairy.... thing said sweetly to Cale handing him B.E.N.'s legs, "hold this will you?" She said before calling for B.E.N. "B.E.N.!" She called as she neared the cars, he'd fallen into one of them, she was sure of it.
Hearing Xia, B.E.N. shouts back "I'M UP HERE! HURRY UP BEFORE THIS THING GOES AGAIN! HURRY HURRY HURRY!" B.E.N. can be seen waving his arms in the front seat of the first car.
B.E.N. very nearly yelled right into Xia's face, but thankfully missed whacking her head. At least the ride was nicely tested, poor B.E.N.. Xia thought. He hates this ride and what does he do? Loses his morning oil and falls right onto it durings its test run. "Lets get you back together" Xiasaid holding out a hand for him to take, not minding the oil he still had on him. She turned to a nearby cast member, "best to clean up the first car me thinks" She said meaning the oil B.E.N. had drunk had gotten a bit onto the seat as she pulled the battered robot out of the car.
Cale jumped when Xia appeared next to him and handed him a leg, he looked at it for a minute then realised the name she shouted out, "Don't tell me, he's falling apart again. What happened to the roll of gaffa tape i got for you guys?"
B.E.N. looked around to survey what was left of him. "So? Where's the rest of me?" He asks Xia.
"Cale's got your legs, and I think Jac has your feet, or what was left of them back at the TTA station" Xia answered BEn before hearing Cales question. "To sum it up seay, it didn'tr work well. this guy's a bunch of nuts and bolts so delicately placed, that tape didn't help very much. Besides it was my fault. I'm the one that picked the peoplemover to sleep in."
"You Did What!?? the rest of him could be all over the park, you have an apartment in the dorms behind the park why don't you use them like everyone else?", he says in disbelief trying to keep B.E.N.'s legs still, "would you stop kicking me please"
"How was I supposed to know that Jac would be waking us up today? I thought you were gonna wake us up." Xia said to Cale as she brought over B.E.N.'s upper half, "You might want to stop tickling him." Xia commented seeing Cale fighting with B.E.N.'s legs. "Relax will you, Jac was there at the station B.E.N. lost a few parts there, nothing the staff wouldn't know about and keep on hand if she notified them. As to the dorms... you want everyone on the block freaking out about a huge black and white cat on the grounds?"
"Oh. There they are." B.E.N. says after spotting his legs being held, and kicking, Cale. "Now where's the rest of me so we can get me put back together?"
Xia grabbed BEN's handless arm and placed his hand back where it belonged, "well, I think the soles of your feet are back with Jac at the TTA station, everything else is here" she said placing his eye back on his face (though upside down), she slapped his face a few times for the eye to reset.
"Ow. OW. Ow." B.E.N. says when she slaps his eye in place. "Can't you be a little gentler? That hurt ya know. What about the part of me needed to connect me to my legs? Last I knew they were strewn all over Kingdom Come!" B.E.N. emphasizes with wild swings of his arms, which throw a few nuts and bolts, making his recently reconnected hand fall limp. "Oh great. Can you get those for me please?"
"That part is on the TTa somewhere.... again" Xia said, "now stop yelling before I slap you again" She said reliquising Cale of B.E.N.'s legs, knowing that with a little doing the legs would stay on, until the missing piece, his hips, where atually on TTA Seven, the same train they had been sleeping in. She scooped up the fallen bolts, as well as the fallen hand, which was acting a lot like the POTC animatroics on something other then the normal power supply.
"Are you two quite done?" Came a familar voice as Jac appeared from the Cast Members only door, carrying B.E.N.'s hips, and the remaining parts of his feet. as well as a small bag with their breakfast in it. "You guys left this stuff on the TTA, I had to get it before they reopened the ride to the public, this ride is about to open. So before that can happen we gotta get B.E.N. back together, hello Cale, before the public come in here, besides why are you guys even in this ride? B.E.N. hates it" Apparently Jac was never told that he'd fallen off the TTA into the ride... again.
"Thank you for stating the obvious." B.E.N. remarks from his half-baked position. "If you really want to know, I fell... again. Now. DO YOU MIND PUTTING ME BACK TOGETHER?! I'M ALL HERE NOW!"
Xia moaned a bit when B.E.N. yelled right into her ears, even though he was propped on the ground. "What he said, lets get him back together so we can finish eating." Xia said thankful for the nearby cast member who knew of BEN's falling apart troubles that handed her a small toolkit, possibly put together when B.E.N. was first seen and first prone to falling apart. A few minutes passed and B.E.N. had his hips back on, "now for his legs, hold still will you? jac hold his feet. On second thought, never mind, he'd kick you through a wall."
