7- Summer Days (Decibel)


It was Decibel's turn on the repair table. He sat on the table, awaiting Rodrigo.

The repairman entered, carrying a box of parts. He set them beside Decibel before setting to work.

Decibel's shell opened, revealing his innards. "Did someone drop this in a pool or something?" He removed a few of Decibel's damaged parts and put the fresh ones in.

Decibel was then sealed up.


The megaphone found himself sitting on the shelf. A recently refurbished vacuum cleaner got sold, then an old boombox.

"Will anyone come for me?" Decibel asked. He stared out into the parking lot.

A man stepped into the store. He approached the shelf.

"Well, another accident cost Todd his megaphone," he said.

Decibel glanced at the man. His old Master's boss.

"And this one's cheap. I'll get it."

The man took Decibel to the counter. He paid with his credit card.

Decibel found himself in a box in the trunk.

Did this mean he was going back to the pool? Would there be any precautions to avoid getting dunked into the deep end?

He hoped so.

The car drove off.


Decibel was lifted out of the trunk. This was the pool, all right. It hadn't changed much since he left. The man carried him inside.

Todd sat in the lobby, sipping on soda. "Oh, hey boss."

"Todd, after two megaphones in the deep end, we need to make some changes," the man said. He handed Decibel to Todd. "We'll install a holder to make sure an accident doesn't happen again. Technology isn't cheap, you know."

Todd smiled. "Thanks, boss."


Lampy hopped back to his dorm room, smiling.

"So, how'd it go? Meet anyone new?" Toaster asked.

The lamp smiled. "Oh, the microwave three doors down's nice. Ooh, and there's an electric guitar across the hall."

Kirby furrowed his brow. "Is that who makes all the racket?"

Radio twitched. "Might want to meet the guy. He sounds like he knows how to have a good time."

"She's a girl," Lampy corrected.

"Oh, sorry. Tell her I'd like to meet her."

"And the lizard fan's in here!"

Blanky curled up into a ball. Toaster looked at the electric blanket, then at Lampy.

"Did you have to bring that up?" she exclaimed. She got off the desk to comfort Blanky.

Radio adjusted his antenna. "Lizard fan, eh?"

"She's actually nice and... repaired." He hopped back on the desk. "I'll introduce you to her tonight."

Kirby huffed. "I'll keep an eye on you two."
