Well, I hope you have read the last chapter... :) Enjoy!
Wendy sat up on her bed, completely tired. She yawned loudly, only to hear the phone go off. She heard learnt how popular Bob ended up been, wanting to see him again after all those times, she decided to see him.
She walked out of the house, and saw Lofty still sleeping. It been two weeks since he had an issue been here, which she was happy of, although he wasn't completely warmed up, he had been more then when they first met, which proved even more to Wendy that it would take a while to gain his full trust. She rubbed her eyes as she walked over to him.
"Morning." She said calmly, as the crane slowly woke up, swing his hook as a way of waving, soon using it to rub his eyes from sleepiness.
"Would you like to come with me on a trip to Littletown?" She asked, Lofty stayed silent, thinking about it.
"Uhh.." He started, but yawned right after.
Wendy was aware how tired his was, since they only had two hours of sleep, since they had been accident out near the school, which had kept them and a few others stuck at the school for almost four hours, and the neighbors had held one of their parties once again, despite it been near 12am, and she thought that the crane wasn't used to sleep for a little while.
"I'll go by myself if you just want to rest." She smiled, making Lofty turn to face her.
"B-but I, umm..." He began, but once again yawned, Wendy quietly laughed.
"It's fine." She said calmly, patting his frame. "You can just rest til I get back." She smiled at him, before walking off to put on her roller blades.
"A-are you sure?!" Lofty panicked, moving out of his shelter.
"It's okay." Wendy chuckled lightly, finishing putting her roller blades on.
"Oh...okay." Lofty moved back in his shelter. "Umm..h-have fun."
"Bye." Wendy waved, only to see the crane completely asleep. She smiled at him before skating her way.
Two hours later, she found her own house, and turned to the yard, and saw four machines, she was curious, and walked into Bob's yard, catching a orange mixer's attention.
"Hello there!" She began eagerly, rushing over to Wendy.
"Hello." Wendy replied. While taking off her roller blades, she saw Scoop, who seemed just as excited as the mixer.
"Hello Wendy!" Scoop happily yelled, getting the other machines curious."What happened while your gone?!"
"Well." Wendy began, trying to think of what to tell him, one of them asking Scoop on how he knew her.
"I got myself a machine." She replied, getting their interest.
"What are they?!" The green steamroller asked.
"Well-" Wendy was cut off when she felt something brush across her leg. She looked down to see a cat getting up, she went down to pick up the wind-up toy.
"I'll be back." She told them, walking into the office while winding up the toy. She opened the door, surprised to see Bob answering more than one phone call. She put down the toy that zoomed off, letting the cat follow it. She chuckled and walked up towards the table.
"Y-Yeah I apologise...what's your address?" Bob grabbed hold of the pen, she could tell he was annoyed by the lack of ink that the pen didn't give, she quickly grabbed a pen she saw in the container, and gave it to Bob, who took it and used to write down the address.
"Thanks Wendy." He murmured quietly to her, uncovering his hand from the phone to speak. Another phone went off, and for some reason, she went for it.
"Hello, Bob the Builder yard.." She asked, noting the look of surprise on Bob's face. "Yeah don't worry, he'll be there." She said, looking through Bob's timetable to see where a empty space.
"About, Thursday Next week?" She looked at Bob who quickly nodded. "Okay then, bye!" She soon ended her call just when Bob ended his, and now the room was silent. "Phew!" Bob sighed, relaxing in his seat.
"Finally, peace and quiet." Wendy chuckled lightly, seeing how calm he now is.
"Looks like you need some help."
"Yes I do!" Bob yelled, sitting up straight on his seat. "The phones never stop ringing, I can simply no longer keep up with the paperwork, and now I'm been late for my jobs!" Bob groaned, as the cat went to sit on his lap. "I simply can't do this work alone, I just need to find an assistant who's organised and wouldn't mind doing paperwork..." He rubbed the cat's fur which purred in response, Wendy thought about it, and soon came up with an idea.
"Bob, I could be that assistant."
"You?!" Bob sat up straight, as the cat jumped off his lap. "But your not a builder." Wendy laughed.
"Not really, but I do take construction classes during the evening."
"Do you?!" Bob asked. Wendy couldn't help but laugh, noting how happy Bob became.
"I remember just loving you and your dad build this place, and I knew that's what I wanted to do!"
"Great!" Bob replied. Wendy was surprised to see him frown as he relaxed in his seat, sighing loudly. "According to Mr Bentley, if I wanted an assistant, you have to sign some papers first to see if you can really be responsible enough for this job." Wendy had a good chuckle as Bob went through his drawers.
"Here." He replied, handing the papers to Wendy who took them.
"He said you have to get them done by about a week." Bob shrugged as Wendy stared at him, looking down at the endless of papers she held, but nodded, thanking Bob for the opportunity she had, before racing out into the yard. She walked out, about to leave the entrance when,
"Hey Wendy!" She turned to the red bulldozer, while putting on her roller blades. "Can you tell us more about the machine?!"
"Oh!" She laughed, getting the machines to stare in confusion. "I love to, but I have to go back, keep him company." She waved her bye as she skated out of the yard, hearing them all yell out a harmonized "Bye!".
She soon skated in front of her yard, only to notice Lofty, who was once watching him swing his hook back and forth, move up towards her.
"I-I'm sorry for not coming with you." He quickly apologized, getting a laugh from Wendy.
"Don't worry about it, you were tired." She replied as she moved towards the front door.
"Wh-What do you have?" He quietly asked, Wendy stared at him, slightly confused, but laughed lightly when she realized what he mean't.
"Oh these?" She laughed, holding the papers. "I'm actually getting a job as a assistant for an old friend of mine."
"That's uh, nice." Lofty smiled, seeing how happy Wendy looked. "H-how has uhh...h-he been?"
"His been doing okay." She replied, staring at the papers. "You know, he has his own machines, and they all love to meet you." She grew awkward when not hearing a response, and stared over at the crane who flinched.
"Oh uhh..t-that's uhh...n-nice?" He muttered, despite his tone going against his sentence. Wendy blinked at him in slight confusion, but soon sighed lightly.
"I know your not comfortable around other machines." She began. "But I promise Bob I get these papers done in three days, and I promised his machines that I bring you along for them to meet." She finished with a smile.
Lofty just stared at Wendy with an unsure expression, unsure whether to burst or just stay calm. He was about to respond, but quickly shut himself up, he silently apologized as he backed up into his shelter.
Wendy sighed loudly, going inside her house. She began writing whatever the papers asked of her, only to stop, feeling too exchusted to continue, as she rested her head on the table, glancing over at the crane from her window, feeling bad for making him uncomfortable after trying to make him comfortable through the last two weeks.
Well, were near the end and I'm just uploading all of them now so bye! :D
