Chapter 3

Ratchet and Rivet laid in bed that evening. Both were silent, but wide awake. Their backs were facing each other. Ratchet turned over, as did Rivet. The two lombaxes were now facing each other in bed. "She won't be back…" Ratchet said, a clear lie. He had no idea if Talwyn was gonna listen or not. "Okay…" Rivet said in a tone that was hardly audible. Ratchet held the female close; the two enjoying each other's company for a moment. "We should get some sleep." Rivet said breaking the silence. "Good night love." She continued before opting to kiss Ratchet. The two lombaxes then assumed a spoon position and drifted to sleep.

….

Talwyn had arrived at someone's house, considering the time, she knew she'd be waking up the individuals that were home. She rang the bell and waited a moment. Shortly thereafter, the door was answered. It was another markazian female. "Hey Tiff…" Talwyn said and she was met with a look of confusion. "Talwyn? Do you have any idea what time it is?" Tiffany asked rubbing her eyes. "Remember the lombax I told you about?" Talwyn asked "This couldn't wait till the morning lover girl?" Tiffany said "No. Actually it couldn't. He's seeing someone." Talwyn said

"Oh…Oh i'm sorry." Tiffany responded. "But here's the thing…I think…no. I know he still feels for me." Talwyn said and she began playing with her hair. Tiffany sighed. "I know what you're getting at, I should've never told you about that!" she said "But you're the seductive type, you've…broken people up before!" Talwyn spoke and Tiffany held up a single finger

"ONCE! I did it once. And Talwyn. The term you're looking for is homewreck." Tiffany said and Talwyn nodded. "Are you sure he feels for you? Cause if we try this, this could be bad. for everyone involved." Tiffany asked "I love him Tiff…." Talwyn started. "He said…he'd always come back to me." she continued. Tiffany bit her lip before running her hand through her hair. She signaled Talwyn to come inside. The two markazians walked inside the home and Talwyn saw a robot with a muscular frame and visible teeth which appeared razor-sharp sitting. It was in rest mode at the arm chair. Tiffany walked up and elbowed the robot. "Vane?!" She said and the robot reactivated. "This is Talwyn. She's a friend." Tiffany stated and Vane looked at Talwyn and scanned her. "Friendly analysis complete." He said "Nice job." Tiff said patting the machine's shoulder. "Personal security. I love him." Tiff explained as she led Talwyn down a hallway. "Tell me everything." Tiffany spoke and Talwyn nodded.

SARTANA

Ratchet had decided to pay Wrench a visit in his dimension, and came by his home in the early hours of the morning. The larger lombax was in his garage, in the middle of a workout. Bench pressing while Ratchet sat and spoke. "That markazian out of the picture now?" Wrench asked and Ratchet shrugged. "Not entirely sure. I…I told her she can't do what she did and just pop by." Ratchet said and Wrench sat up, wiping his face with a towel before tossing it over his shoulder "And? What did she say?" he asked, now looking at Ratchet. "She said…who are you trying to convince" Ratchet explained "Homie, she thinks you're still into her. Which means, whatever she pulled yesterday she's gon do it again." Wrench said standing up and grabbing and hopping up on a bar to do some pull ups.

"What did you do to make her think that?" Wrench questioned as he effortlessly worked out in an effort to maintain his brolic physique. "There was…this energy when we spoke. It's how we, fell in love." Ratchet started "A vibe my dude?" Wrench surmised "Yeah….I guess it's still there." Ratchet said holding his head down. "Do you work out? Women love that shock man! Courtney loves seeing me get big!" Wrench said earning a look from Ratchet "You should work out, Rivet'll love you more" Wrench said getting down from the pull up bar and grabbing a curling bar "You already big man but you could be bigger! Like me! I'm big! Imma be swole though! Walk sideways through doors homie!" Wrench said and he had completely forgotten the conversation he and Ratchet were having

"Come on try it, we can be work out bros. Ha ha, Yeah!" Wrench laughed "Wrench." Ratchet said "What?" The large lombax asked " Talwyn? The vibe?" Ratchet questioned "Yeah I said, why you think the vibe still there?" Wrench asked "You didn't say that." Ratchet spoke "Nah, nah nah, i did! Right before the work out question." Wrench defended. "Fine, whatever. Wrench. I'm gonna need your help. Clank can't know, and Rivet definitely can't know." Ratchet said and Wrench dropped the bar.

" Dude if you saying you still love this woman, this about to get mad complicated!" Wrench started "Plus you already played with Rivet like she was a toy, you wanna do that again?!" he questioned "NO!" Ratchet said and Wrench looked at him "I don't know what to do, but you're gonna help me." Ratchet said "Why?" Wrench questioned "CAUSE YOU OWE ME AFTER WHAT YOU DID!" Ratchet yelled "Right I get it. I get it." Wrench said "So….what exactly are we gonna do?" he asked.

…..

Rivet was back home, working in the garage on one of her arm implants. "Do you have a lot of them?" A voice called and Rivet looked up and at the entrance to the garage was Talwyn. "What are you doing here?" Rivet asked "Was just in town, figured i'd stop by and see Ratchet." She said with a false sense of shyness. "Drop the cute girl act." Rivet said slamming her hammer to the ground and walking up to Talwyn. Rivet stared daggers into Talwyn's bright eyes. "He's not here." Rivet started "Besides. He said don't come back here. If you didn't hear me yesterday, i'm his GIRLFRIEND." Rivet emphasized the word again and Talwyn felt that feeling again. This time Rivet noticed. "I think I touched a nerve." She said with a smirk.

"No…you didn't." Talwyn regained her composure and stepped forward a bit, she and Rivet were now inches apart. "You know what Ratchet said to me all the time while we were dating?" Talwyn questioned, now circling the female lombax "He said, no matter how far away he was…he'd always come back to me." Talwyn said. "You liar…." Rivet responded as Talwyn stopped circling and stood infront of Rivet once more "No. Yeah. True story." She said and Rivet narrowed her eyes. Talwyn simply smiled at the gesture "I guess you're just a Placeholder Girlfriend until he comes back to who he really loves." Talwyn said flipping back some of her hair and she could see she had gotten to Rivet.

The female lombax's anger turned to concern and even a bit of fear. " I think I touched a nerve….." Talwyn mocked and Rivet looked up at the markazian who smiled once more, and even flashed her eyebrows. "BTW…." Talwyn started and she leaned in close to Rivet's left ear. "You're working too hard." She said and she actually managed to disengage Rivet's metal arm. Causing it to crash to the ground. Rivet looked at the arm then at Talwyn who explained "Figured it out while we were talking. Give Ratchet a kiss for me." She said before turning to walk away

"UGH!" Rivet screamed in fustration before picking up her arm and reconnecting it. Talwyn meanwhile had gotten in her cruiser, and looked at Tiffany, then Vane. "Wow, you're a bitch! Not gonna lie she was pretty ruthless. Compliment her Vane." Tiff spoke and Vane looked at Talwyn then nodded in approval. "Close enough. We'll work on it." She said looking back at Talwyn "It didn't feel good to act like that." Talwyn said sadly. "I could tell it really bothered her." She continued. "Having second thoughts?" Tiff asked and Talwyn looked down for a moment before making eye contact with her fellow Markazian and saying "No."

Later that afternoon, Ratchet returned home and saw Rivet drinking "A bit early for a drink don't you think?" Ratchet said joining her at the counter. "Pour me some?" Ratchet asked and Rivet handed him the bottle. "What. Did you say to her?" She asked "What happened?" Ratchet asked and Rivet's holophone went off, She looked at it for a moment. "Do you need to get that?" Ratchet asked and Rivet ignored the call. "No." She started, before placing down the device.

"She came here today….said you'd always come back to her?" She asked and Ratchet nodded "Something I used to say when I was with her." He clarified. "She also said I was…a placeholder girlfriend…." Rivet questioned and Ratchet looked up "That doesn't sound like her." Ratchet spoke "It's what she said." Rivet said "I'll talk to her…I'll make my point crystal clear this time." Ratchet stood up. "I'm with you. Not her. Don't need to drink over Talwyn. I promise." Ratchet said kissing Rivet on the forehead. "I might need to though. She's more of a headache than ever." Ratchet spoke as he began to exit.

Tiff is gonna make Tal dive into some dark behavior. The things a person does for love I guess...

The mystery message person again! Who is it?!

STAY BLESSED!
