Hi, everybody! Here's Chapter 2 of Destiny!

M-O silently scolded himself for not paying attention to his surroundings as he made his way over to his friends. He couldn't understand how a simple thought had made him oblivious to everything else.

Because it wasn't just a simple thought, his brain answered. You've been doing this a lot lately, and this means something. Likely something big.

The question was, what?

D-FIB slowly glided to her pals, still lost in la-la land. If she had a mouth, she would've been grinning from ear to ear.

Neither bot was focusing on their sense of direction, which was ironic for M-O. Every action has its equal opposite reaction, and there are never exceptions to that. Especially now.

Crash!

Metal clashed against metal as cries of surprise added to the noise. M-O and D-FIB were both knocked to the ground as they yelled apologies to each other.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Didn't mean to bump into you!" M-O shouted desperately in code.

"No, it's my fault! Should've been looking where I was going!" D-FIB wheezed in the same language.

The two robots got up and then realized who the other was.

"Oh, uhhh…..D-D-FIB." M-O stammered in English. While they could understand it, most robots weren't made to speak full English. They mostly spoke the binary code when communicating with each other, except WALL-E, who just used what little he knew to talk.

"M-O." D-FIB said a little shyly, grabbing one of her arms. For some reason, she had a tingling sensation in her cheeks.

M-O felt the same thing. He found himself unable to utter a word as he stared at her. Had he just now realized how adorable she looked when embarrassed?

D-FIB then spoke up. This time, she would make sure to have a successful conversation with him.

"So, how are you doing with your directive?"

"Fine. Considering I'm doing what I've always done: cleaning." M-O replied.

"I guess I should've expected that answer." D-FIB said. Smooth, real smooth, she thought sarcastically to herself.

There were a few bouts of awkward silence. Several yards away, EVE pulled WALL-E aside and showed him what was happening. She then proceeded to lift up her pointer finger on both hands.

"M-O." she said, gesturing to one of the digits. "D-FIB." she added, turning her head to the other finger. She then put the two together.

WALL-E nodded, understanding. They then watched the rest of the conversation.

M-O coughed. "So, I think we've stood here long enough. Let's go to our friends."

"Yes. Of course." D-FIB agreed. They then did just that. WALL-E and EVE quickly started having a casual chat with each other to mask their previous eavesdropping. That night, the robot couple began to plan to play matchmaker.

I know, short chapter. But don't worry, I will make up for it! I promise.

Whenever robots speak in code in fanfics I've seen, the letters are always italicized. I decided to add quotation marks to make it clear that they are speaking the words. And to separate them from thoughts.

What are WALL-E and EVE planning?

That's all for today! CocoDisney out!
