The next chapter of many. I know WALL-E is an old movie. But guess what? I don't care. It's still my all-time favorite and always will be. Enjoy this chapter and be ready for more.


Chapter 1

A New Start

WALL-E came out of his box form, tired and groggy from his low power charge.

He went over to the truck's door, collecting his treads after about five minutes of trying to put them on, and pulled the lever to lower the ramp.

WALL-E took in the light brown sky as he flipped out his solar panels to recharge. He became lost in thought as he powered up. What should he do today? He didn't really compact trash anymore, that directive wasn't important to him anymore. He felt like doing something different, something fun. Just something.

As a familiar chime sounded, indicating he was fully charged, WALL-E put away his panels and was ready to start the day. But when he turned around, he jumped in surprise at a familiar figure that was standing, or rather, hovering, in his way.

"Good morning." EVE said as she leaned forward to give WALL-E a spark-kiss.

WALL-E sighed. He really liked those spark-kisses. It gave him a pleasant, tingling sensation which caused him to lose focus.

EVE giggled, and then picked up WALL-E to embrace him in a hug. Ever since they landed, EVE was a lot more affectionate towards WALL-E. He suspected it was because of the near-death experience he went through. It was okay though, he loved her since they first met. Even after a week of being together, he couldn't even look at her without stuttering.

Then, WALL-E had an idea: he loved EVE and he loved collecting treasures, so why not put them together?

"E-vah!" WALL-E said excitedly. EVE put him down and he explained in a long display of gestures that they should go looking for trinkets among the trash.

EVE nodded her head in agreement. It seemed that she was willing to do anything with him no matter how ridiculous it sounded.

They both went back inside the truck to prepare for their treasure hunt. WALL-E grabbed his cooler (which he used as a carrying case) and they set off.

They strode through the city streets on the way to the garbage piles, holding hands as they went. They greeted the occasional human that passed by on the way. The humans were really determined to begin their new lives here. They worked extremely hard on clearing the areas and building shelters and they had the weight loss to show. Most of the humans could walk perfectly and were slightly smaller than their original chubby state.

WALL-E admired the humans' persistence in their recolonizing efforts. Captain McCrea told him that it was the duty of mankind to maintain the Earth because it was their home. And now, since the robots started to become sentient, it became their home too.

They continued along, traversing across the nearby highway to kill time. It wasn't because they weren't in a hurry, but mainly because they wanted to spend quiet moments together any time they could.

The two robots saw the massive starliner known as the Axiom. The sunlight glistened off the ship's hull, casting a majestic reflection that could make anyone stop and stare at it for a while. Most of the service bots for the Axiom were being taken out to assist the humans in recolonizing efforts, some being kept inside the ship to keep it functioning just in case it would be needed again.

WALL-E and EVE continued to move, and eventually found themselves at the garbage sites. There, they began their treasure hunt.

It was a long game of searching and playing. On more than one occasion, one of the bots would find something interesting and call the other to play with it. WALL-E's cooler filled up extremely fast with trinkets so EVE would repeatedly fly them back home so he could unload their goodies, giving them space to find more.

WALL-E and EVE tried to make the most of these days, as the Captain told them they would be working alongside the humans in their recolonization efforts in the next few days. WALL-E would be tasked in cleaning up the trash, just like he was built to do, while EVE was tasked with finding resources and maintaining the plants that would grow. However, since the humans' primary concern was establishing shelters, her given task wouldn't be important at the moment, so she would be assigned to assist WALL-E with his trash-cleaning duties.

The two continued to search for more treasures, searching the piles of garbage in high hopes of finding something interesting.

WALL-E then found something unusual: a small black pad with a dark screen, which indicated it may hold something of interest.

"E-vah!" WALL-E cried out, wanting to show his partner what he had found. EVE quickly hovered over, a look of excitement shined on her face, showing she was ready to play with whatever he had found.

WALL-E showed her the pad and she looked over it in curiosity. The two then proceeded to examine the object. They tapped it, pressed some of the buttons, and even attempted to rewire the battery charge in an attempt to turn it on.

Suddenly, the screen on the pad lit up and began showing multiple lines of numbers. The screen then showed a logo neither of them recognized: a black eagle surrounded by multiple triangular-shaped objects. Below the eagle flashed a word which may indicate a name.

"Black-wing?" EVE read the word carefully. A puzzled look on her face said she had no idea what it was.

WALL-E handed EVE the pad. He knew she was better at figuring out how things worked and this pad looked extremely complicated. EVE spread her hand into fingers and began tapping commands on the pad while WALL-E watched with interest.

Some time went by, then EVE shook her head and groaned in frustration. WALL-E looked at her and beeped in concern. He was always worried when EVE was troubled and would help in any way he could.

EVE turned to him and showed him the screen. "Access denied" the pad said. It obviously contained something important if it denied EVE's expert hacking skills.

WALL-E placed his hand on EVE's. "Later." he said. They would figure out more of the pad's mysteries some other time.

EVE smiled. "Okay," she responded. She placed the pad in WALL-E's cooler and they set off back home, finished with their explorations and deciding to do something else.


EVE was bothered by the pad. She really wanted to access the contents inside it.

Huh, WALL-E's sense of curiosity was rubbing off on her now that they lived together. She was really happy that they met. She never felt such warmth around WALL-E's care.

Back at the truck, WALL-E set the pad on a shelf next to his VHS player, which he used to play his—no their—favorite movie, Hello Dolly. They would deal with it some other time. Right now, they were going to spend the rest of the day exploring the Axiom.

They set off for the ship, crossing the streets once again as WALL-E played Put On Your Sunday Clothes on his recorder to keep them in a good mood. EVE smiled and took WALL-E's hand in her own. His near-death experience with the Holo-detector made her extremely protective and she was always eager to keep him happy. WALL-E became the most important figure in EVE's life now.

They made their way to the Axiom and began exploring. They never saw all of the ship back during their adventure last week, especially since most of the time they were being chased by Stewards, so they saw this as a good opportunity to do so.

They wandered the long pathways and entertainment sectors that made up most of the ship. With all of the humans and most of the robots out recolonizing, the Axiom was nearly empty. They only found the occasional service bot passing by to do its daily maintenance.

The robots made their way to the Lido Deck, mainly out of WALL-E's eagerness for exploration. Once they arrived, they split up to explore the deck.

EVE then stumbled upon the remains of GO-4. She looked up at the captain's room and recalled the horrible memories: how GO-4 held her in place with his tractor beam as Auto shocked WALL-E, nearly killing him.

She turned to WALL-E, who was examining one of the small pools with interest. When he turned his back to her, EVE picked up GO-4's remains and dumped them in a nearby trash container, hopeful that those horrible memories would never come back to haunt her.

She then went over to WALL-E, who seemed to be having a chat with a lifeguard bot while dipping the ends of his treads into the small pool to watch the ripples that formed.

"No splashing, no diving." The lifeguard bot said, apparently annoyed at WALL-E for his pool game.

"Okay." WALL-E responded. He seemed to be slightly irritated at the bot who was giving him swimming rules even though he wasn't in the pool.

"WALL-E." EVE called. She was slightly amused. She never saw WALL-E in an angry mood before. He was always cheery and positive. She never thought he would ever show some sign of irritation.

WALL-E quickly turned and rolled towards EVE, his expression quickly changed from irritated to happy as he approached her.

EVE checked the clock in her HUD. 6:45, it was getting late. They should start wrapping things up.

"Home." EVE said

"Okay." WALL-E replied in a disappointed tone. It was obvious that he really wanted to do some more exploring by the look on his face.

But EVE was watching WALL-E's power charge. Three bars remained on the display. She fussed over WALL-E's condition even if he wasn't in a bad state, another result of the bad experience she went through a week ago.

She leaned forward to give WALL-E a small spark-kiss. He sighed and immediately went back to his usual positive attitude. A spark-kiss from EVE always put WALL-E in a good mood, and she knew it too.

They left the Axiom and proceeded to make their way back to WALL-E's truck, hands together as they went. The sunset casted a magnificent orange glow over the sky. It looked so peaceful and friendly to EVE.

EVE then felt a small tug on her hand. She turned her head to see WALL-E trying to pull her away from the path to the truck and towards somewhere else.

"E-vah," WALL-E said. It was apparent he was trying to take her somewhere. "Come, come."

EVE smiled and submitted to letting WALL-E pull her towards their mysterious destination.

WALL-E continued to pull EVE through alleyways and roads to the unknown location. Where is he taking me? EVE thought. WALL-E was here for over 700 years, there were a lot of places he knew about that she didn't.

Eventually, they arrived at the city's edge. A small park bench with a nearby trash can and a light pole missing a light bulb overlooked a large sand dune that was originally an ocean. The orange glow of the sunset reflected off the bench as well as the entire dune, making the whole place look beautiful.

WALL-E wheeled over to the bench and lifted himself up on it. He beckoned for EVE to come sit with him by patting the open space of the bench next to him. She hovered over and deactivated her hover systems so she could sit down on the bench next to her partner. She took in the sunset casting a beautiful orange glow over the horizon as the sun was on the brink of disappearing over the hills. This was very romantic.

And yet it all looked familiar. EVE thought back to her evaluator mission, back when she first met WALL-E. She looked over her camera recordings in search of something resembling this place.

After a few minutes, she got something: a small section of camera footage showing the exact same scene. The footage was in black and white, signifying that she was in stasis at the time. WALL-E must've brought her here sometime after he gave her the plant.

EVE remembered reviewing those recordings back on the Axiom, when the Captain placed a camera display unit on her head to show the images of Earth. She remembered WALL-E taking care of her during that time: shielding her from the rain with an umbrella while getting hit by lighting, putting a container over to shield her from bad weather, even wrapping her in a blanket while he slept on the roof next to her.

EVE was so emotionally touched by WALL-E's determination to risk his life for her. And he continued to do so afterwards: he nearly go blown up in an escape pod to get her the plant, he held onto the plant even after being shocked by Auto and nearly dumped out the garbage airlock, and he even struggled to keep the Holo-detector open while she looked for the plant.

EVE was lucky to have WALL-E. He treated her like a goddess, coming to her whenever she called as well as doing whatever she wanted. But she returned that care because he deserved it.

"E-vah?"

WALL-E's voice of concern snapped her out of her trance. She turned to WALL-E, who was watching her with that loving look he always gave her. EVE suddenly felt an emotional spike and she instinctively seized WALL-E by the optics and pulled him towards her for a large spark-kiss.

"Whoa!" WALL-E yelped. He clearly hadn't been expecting that.

"Romantic." EVE said softly as she released her grip on his eyes. She loved his reactions whenever she displayed her affection towards him. They always amused her or made her feel warm.

"Oh." WALL-E responded, showing he understood. Then his optics suddenly lifted as a sign of an idea coming to his head. He pointed to a trash can over to his right. "E-vah, look."

EVE looked at the trash can. She noticed a strange shape on it. As she took a closer look, she saw that it was a heart with words in it. The words read: WALL-E + EVE.

WALL-E must've written this back when she was in stasis. It was so touching to know that he had fallen in love with her from the start.

"Oh WALL-E!" EVE said lovingly. She grabbed WALL-E and pressed his head to her chest in another emotional spike instinct. WALL-E didn't move at all in her grasp, he just turned his head to look up at her, his expression showing he was happy.

EVE slackened her grip on him, setting him down on the bench but keeping her arms on him. She leaned her head on top of his in a soft display of affection. She didn't want this moment to end. She wanted to stay here and enjoy it with WALL-E as long as possible.

Then WALL-E pressed the play button on his recorder and the song It Only Takes A Moment began to play. EVE felt so warmed by that song. That song taught them both the meaning of love and also brought them to love each other. It became their special song.

EVE closed her eyes, taking in only the feel of WALL-E in her arms and the soothing sound of the music. Seconds felt like hours, the world around her seemed to disappear as those warm feelings overwhelmed her. Never had she felt so much happiness.

Eventually, WALL-E spoke. "E-vah."

EVE jumped back into reality and realized why he alerted her: it was dark, the sun had long since set. She checked her clock. 8:32, they were out here for a long time. Funny, it didn't even feel that long; it only felt like a few minutes.

EVE was disappointed. She wanted to be out here longer. She wanted to enjoy the now-passed sunset with her WALL-E just a little more.

"Home?" WALL-E said. The look on his face and the disappointed tone of his voice suggested he was thinking the same thing.

"Home." EVE confirmed. Even though she didn't want to leave either, they still had to get home to get some rest. Besides, they could always come back another day.

WALL-E sighed, then hopped off the bench and held out his hand. EVE willingly took it in her own and the two set off for the truck.

They traveled through the darkened and empty streets. Their only sources of light being the moon's peaceful glow, EVE's bright blue eye forms, and WALL-E's solar charge display. The humans were nowhere to be seen. Since building proper shelters was still a work in progress, the humans would retreat back inside the Axiom for rest during the night. The Captain said that once suitable living conditions have been established, the humans wouldn't be relying on the Axiom's luxury treatment anymore.

The two continued on, eventually reaching the truck and settling in for the night. WALL-E took off his treads and placed them on the hanging rack by the ramp door while EVE pulled the ramp lever to close the door.

EVE looked around the truck, examining WALL-E's diverse collection of items as well as the hole in the roof she created during her attempt to save WALL-E. They would have to get that fixed sometime.

WALL-E stood over by the VHS player, Hello Dolly in hand as he waited for her to come over and watch it before they tuck in for the night. EVE hovered over and brought the large magnifying glass over the small IPod screen as WALL-E placed the cassette into the player. The screen flashed to life and Hello Dolly began to play.

WALL-E took EVE's hand as the movie played and sighed to her lovingly. EVE giggled from his reaction and leaned in to give WALL-E a small spark-kiss.

Eventually, the movie ended and the two proceeded to go to bed. EVE, however, took notice of the black pad they had found earlier. She went over to it and began to work on it to try and figure out more of its secrets. WALL-E rolled over to her side and watched her work with interest. He wanted to discover some secrets as well, one of the main effects of his curiosity.

EVE worked callously on the pad, inputting several different overrides in order to bypass the security measures and access the pad's contents. She wasn't doing well. The pad's security blocks shut out her overrides and she was constantly met with "Access Denied" or "Section fifthteen authorization required," filling her with frustration.

After a few minutes, she got something: a command. "Reanimation procedure ready, confirm to commence procedure."

EVE was confused. What did "Reanimation procedure" mean? She hit the confirm button out of curiosity to see what the pad's response would be. The screen suddenly filled with a new entry: "Confirmation accepted. Please locate stasis pod 11337K and insert command unit into main access port."

"Huh?" WALL-E warbled. He didn't understand what the command meant, neither did EVE.

EVE sighed in defeat. She didn't want to go looking for something else in order to use this "reactivation command." She placed the pad back on the shelf and turned in for the night.

"E-vah?" WALL-E voiced in concern. He must've noticed her frustration and was attempting to comfort her.

EVE turned to him, relaxed a little, and stroked his optics to show she was better now. "Sleep." She said. They were both tired and needed some rest. They would be working soon, so the pad's mysteries would have to wait some other time.

"Okay." WALL-E responded. He then proceeded to box up and slide into his sleeping space, giving her one last loving look before his head disappeared inside his body.

EVE watched WALL-E for a while, then began to enter her dormant state to rest for the night. Her mind raced with questions, primarily about the "reanimation command" and what it would do if she ever found that pod.

She disregarded the thought, instead focusing on getting some sleep to prepare for the next day. If she didn't find the pod, it wouldn't matter. All she ever really wanted to do was be with WALL-E.

Still though, it was a mystery to be looked into.
