*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

- Chapter 1}

"Yo, Ikki!" A hand waved in front of the distracted Ikki's face. He didn't even blink.

"Ikki! Are you going to give me my other hand sometime this century?"

A frustrated medabot, AKA Medabee glared at his medafighter before turning his attention to the window to see what could possible so important that Ikki froze up like that and put on stupid look on his face.

"Erika…"

"GAH!" Medabee made a face. Ever since the entire pudding fasco, Ikki and Erika had been going out, but it looked like Ikki was still making google-eyes at her., that was, like, years ago!

"Give it up man, just give it up."

"….."

Medabee rose his eyes to heaven. 'Should I snap him out of it….or should I not….hmmm…..'

"WAAAKE UUUUUP!" *thump*

"AH! Medabee, whatcha do that for!" Ikki glared angerily at his medabot, while rubbing the painful bump on his head.

"You were in another world! And," Medabee tried to grab his half polished hand from Ikki's grasp, but failing miserably.

"I needed my hand back." Medabee finally said, his green eyes glaring at Ikki's semi-distracted face.

Ikki opened his mouth to make reply, when his eyes happened to glance back at the window.

Medabee smacked his forehead in frustration. Ikki's eyes, glazed over, his mouth wide open with a bit of drool coming out, and his expression one of a puppy dog.

"Ikki, I thought you went through this already, you're already going out with the girl." Medabee said, whacking his medafighter back into the world again.

"I know! Its just…" Ikki sighed and looked away. How could he explain what he was feeling to his medabot? Like Medabee would ever understand what he was going through.

"Nevermind Medabee, lets finish cleaning you up." Ikki said at last, throwing a dirty rag into the trash and picking up a clean one to finish cleaning his medabot with.

Medabee frowned inwardly. 'Just because I am a medabot, doesn't mean that I don't know about those feelings too. I'm not just metal ya know, I am….am…'

'Are what?'

'Umm…I'll get back to you on that.'

"ARG!" Metbaa yelled, angry that his subconsius got the better of him. Again.

Ikki stared at Erika, her expression of happiness seemed to radiate to his soul. How could he explain it? When he had first gone out with Erika, he liked her, a lot. But it seemed like that like has turned into something more, something…that he couldn't quite describe.

Handing back a spotless, gleaming, polished-to-perfection revolover hand back to his medabot, Ikki took Medabee's legs, and proceeded to clean and polish them to perfection.

*~*~*~*Elsewhere in Store…*~*~*~*~*~*

"I'm sorry I really am!"

"No excuses! This is the seventeenth time this month you've loaned something from this store, my store to somebody, and its either they'd lost it, or they 'accidentally' destory it! That's it! I've had it! You've fired!"

"Bu-Bu-Bu-"

"No Buts! Get out! OOUUUT!"

A dejected figure slowly gathered his things before leaving the shop, sniffing the whole way out.

"And good ridince." The other man said, walking back behind the counter while polishing a glass.

"Heeheehee….revenge…"

"AHH! *bang* ouch."

*~*~*~*~*~*

Ikki and Medabee stopped their work at the sound the commotion in the back of the shop. They eavesdropped shamelessly at the argument and felt shared sympathy for the man who could fired from his job.

"Hi guys."

Ikki and Medabee turned around and saw a dejected Henry standing behind them, his head low with obvious sadness.

"Hi Henry, wassup?"

Henry sighed loudly.

"The usual I guess, I clean, I put stuff away, I loaned another medabot skeleton to somebody, they broke it, I'm fired." Tears crowded his eyes as he spoke.
"I love this store! I can't believe I got fired! I'll never get over it!" Henry cried out pathetically, his arms wrapping around the counter.

Ikki and Medabee exchanged looks before slowly backing away from the deranged man.

"I've worked sweat and blood for this store! I've never been late for work, and I work overtime as well. I've never even had a holiday! Well…except for that one two month holiday I had to take because of some medical injuries…but that's besides the point! Oh my sweet beautiful store, what would I ever do without you?"

"Get a life."

Henry gasped and frowned turning around to star at the manager of the store.

"I like the fact that you're a good employee, but as your employer and your friend, I fired you so that you can get a life. That and I'll save money, and tons of medabot equipment. I'm sorry Henry, but you'll have to go. Now." The manager said, his face showing his emotion of sadness and sternness.

Henry sighed one last time before walking dejectedly out of the store.

A small silence rose and the store was quiet after the jingle of the store bell faded away.

"Poor guy." Medabee said at last.

Ikki nodded with Medabee's words.

"Well, it's the best for him, you'll see." The manager said, taking up a wet glass and beginning to dry it with a bright yellow towel.

Medabee grabbed the last yellow leg from Ikki and placed it into his body. Turning around in his mangled body of spare parts, (which was borrowed from Henry, but don't tell anyone) he motioned for Ikki to remove his medal.

"Ok." Ikki said, dejecting the medal and placing it into Medabee's body.

Medabee stretched and grinned in the way only medabots can.

"This feels great, like I'm in a brand new body." Medabee said, picking up the other body of spare parts.

"Well You need to be in tip-top shape for any new robattles that may come along." Ikki said, walking with Medabee out of the store.

The shutting of the door and the jingle of the store bell signaled their leave.

The manager slowly grinned as a smirk came across his face.

Shutters suddenly closed up as the placed went into shut-down.

The manager's thin wired glasses were suddenly replaced with top-of-the-line and very familiar sunglasses.

"Well Robo 1290867, have you succeded with your first mission?" A dark eery voice asked.

The manager's suit flew off, revealing….*gasp* a robo suit.

The manager, hearing the voice, stood straighter and rose his right hand up in a horrible salute.

"Yes sir! Mission complete Sir!" The manager barked, his quivering evident to even the untrained eye.

"Good….good….report back to headquaters immediately. Your next assignment will be given there. Do not fail me Robo 1290867 like so many others…." The voice said, echoing off the walls of the empty store.

"I will not fail you Sir!" The robo said, pulling out a fake glass revealing a hidden door in the wall. Running through the tunnel that followed the opened wall, the door closed behind him.

"This is excellent! Perrrfect." The dark voice moaned in delight.

"Soon the master plan of all Robos will come to be realized and the world will be ours! Muhahaha! MUHAHAHAHA!"

The echoing of the evil laugh haunted the store, long into the night.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
