The Automatic Milking Room

By Icee Suicune

"Whoa! It's the Automatic Milking Room!" said Rock's son, Conan.

"Yeah, I know!" said Rock.

"Let's get it for mom!" Conan said.

"It would help her out. She's always sooooo busy." Rock said.

"How much is it?" Asked Conan,

"It's only 600,000 G!" Rock said. The two were shopping for Annie. After all, Mother's Day was only a few days away. Because the two were boys, they had no idea what to get. They had bought flowers, but Rock and Conan ate them on the way home from the city. They had also tried flowers, but when Rock suggested hiding them in a feed box, Happy, Annie's cow, ate them along with the fodder.

A few days later…

"So, here is the AMR. Do you want me to tell you how it works?" Takakura asked Rock.

"Uh, yeah."

"All you do is push a cow through these doors. There is a scanner that tells you if the cow can be milked or not. After that, push the cow over here, and the machine will do the rest. The bottles of milk are stored here," Takakura said, eyeing Rock.

"Wait a minute, did you say 'scanning device?'" Conan asked.

"Yes," Takakura said. That's when Rock got an idea.

"Hey, Conan, look over there! It's Kate!" Rock said, pointing in a random direction.

"R-really? W-where?" Conan asked. When he wasn't looking, Rock pushed Conan in front of the scanning device. BEEP! A big red light flashed and Conan fell in front of it.

"Ohhh, Conan… You can't be milked…" Rock said, pointing at Conan.

"Dad, that wasn't funny!" Conan said, rubbing his back. "Hey, wait…" Conan tried to push Takakura, but he wouldn't move.

"You two…" He said as he walked out of the AMR.

"Ok, ok. Try this!" Rock said, waving a shovel in font of Conan's face.

"Seriously, Dad," Conan said.

"J-j-just do it…" Rock said, trying hard not to laugh. Apparently Conan caught on to the joke, so he took the shovel and waved it in front of the scanner. BEEP! The big red light flashed again.

"Ok, Dad, take this!" Conan said as he threw a bag of bird seed at Rock. Rock threw the bag in front of the scanner. BEEP!

"Conan, go get your mom and tell her to close her eyes." Rock said. Conan left the AMR and got Annie.

"Ok, Conan, where are we going?" Annie asked.

"Sorry, Mom!" said Conan as he pushed Annie in front of the scanner. BEEP! The red light flashed again.

"What the heck? Why did you…" Annie was cut off when Conan helped her up and led her out of the AMR.

"I wonder if you can milk a horse…." Rock said as he left the AMR too.
