Jaune and Courage the Cowardly Dog
Chap 16: Mega Muriel the Magnificent
Currently, it was late at night. Me and Courage were in my room typing on the computer with a guest. Who might this guest be you may be asking? Well, let's just say she is a real good friend to ruby who I only met once before.
"So, this is your room? Fascinating." Penny said looking around before looking back at the computer.
Earlier today, me and Courage were walking back from my work when Muriel called and asked me if I could stop by the store to pick up a bottle of vinegar. We happily agreed and went to get some. But as we were leaving the store, we bumped into Penny who was looking excited but also really lost. And not in the sense we get when we face a new mysterious danger. After helping me up, we talked a bit and I learned that she was assigned by General Ironwoods to investigate strange reports that were coming from an unknown town that just popped up. But when she arrived here at Nowhere, she could not find anything strange, which I found odd, but also now did not fully know how to get back. Mainly because she was so excited and curious by everything that she lost track of time and where she went. Seeing that she a friend and that it was getting late and the airports were closed, I offered to let her stay at the farmhouse for the night. She accepted my offer and now we were back at farmhouse. Muriel happily let Penny stay the night while Eustace did not care as usual. Now we were in my room watching Courage type our adventures together while Penny watched.
"So, these are actual adventures you went on?" Penny asked curious.
"Yup, every single word is true." I answered with a chuckle. It was really refreshing seeing someone so pure after having to put up Eustace every day. And like Ruby said, even though she was a robot, it was her heart and soul that mattered. Honestly, even though she is a robot, to me, she is more human than many other people met.
"You call getting chased by a lunatic snowman scary?" The computer suddenly asked. "You twit."
"Wow, a talking smart computer. What kind of A.I. does it have?" Penny asked stepping up to the computer.
"Talking? Yes. Smart. Debatable. And A.I. it actually doesn't have one." I explained. And even though the computer did not have a face, I could tell it is glaring at me. Courage began to type on the computer again ignoring what the computer just said.
"Getting shaved by a mad barber head to toe got you frightened you, you insect!" The computer mocked.
"Is it always like this?" Penny asked curious.
"Pretty much. He never misses the chance to mock us. But he can be really helpful when you need him to be. That is, if he wants to be helpful." I answered thinking back to all the times when we need to look something up and all he did was mock us.
"Getting chased by a she-demon underwater got both of you rattled? Snowflake." The computer taunted. Courage growled at this but let it go and began typing again.
"What are these? The memoirs of both of you." The computer asked.
"Yes, they are." I answered with Courage nodding in answer as well.
"They about as exciting as a sack of toenail clippings." The computer mocked.
"Ass." I said to the computer while Courage blew a raspberry at him.
"That was mean." Penny said as well with a frown.
"You flesh creatures are such pathetic mice. Scared of your own tails. If I could get around, I'd show all of you what can be done without fear." The computer taunted. I was about to say something but stopped when I saw Courage typing an insult at him.
"Oh, yeah? Everything you say bounces of me and sticks to you." The computer countered.
"Why do you put up with this computer?" Penny asked.
"He's really helpful and somehow has knowledge on things no one else might have." I answered.
"But what do you do when he mocks you too much?" She asked. I turned to Courage who grinned as he knew the answer to that.
"Simple. We do this." I said as I raised my hand and let it hover over the on switch.
"Now, hold it! Don't hit that butt-" The computer began only to go silent when we flipped the switch off with the computer powering off.
'Hahahaha,' Courage laughed with his toothy grin showing with that one tooth that has a hole in it.
"How does your dog do that?" Penny asked referring to what Courage just did.
"I have no idea Penny. But I have long since learned to not question it." I answered.
'It's late. We better head to sleep Jaune.' Courage said while getting off his chair. But as soon as he got off, he got picked up by a confused Penny.
"Um, Penny?" I asked concerned.
"I am not sure how Ironwoods will react to me understanding what your dog is saying," Penny said looking Courage up and down.
"Well, that makes you the fourth person aside from me who understand him." I said as I took him from her.
"Who are the others?" She asked curious.
"Nora, Blake and Velvet." I answered.
"Fascinating." She said turning to me. "Do you have any idea why that is?"
"Honestly, I have no idea. But we can discuss that more tomorrow." I said as I made my way over to the bed and pulled back the covers.
"Where shall I sleep tonight?" She asked.
"Here on my bed of course. I'll be sleeping downstairs on the couch." I answered as I grabbed my pajamas.
"But I cannot kick you out of your bed." Penny argued.
"Don't worry. It's fine. Besides, you're my friend." I told her. She seemed surprised at this but smiled and accepted my offer. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight Friend." She said before suddenly giving me a hug. A bit bone crushing but it was fine either way. After a few minutes, she let go and went to the bed. Smiling, I exited the room and went downstairs while Courage went to his room with Muriel and Eustace. Changing into my pajamas, I walked over to the closet and pulled out a spare blanket and pillow and placed them on the couch. Lying down, I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep. Though, as I fell asleep, a thought came to mind.
'Does Penny actually need sleep or just powers off?' I thought before succumbing to slumber.
Two in the morning
*BOOM*
The sound of thunder and lightning easily woke me up. Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I got up and looked out the window and saw that it was raining heavily with thunder roaring and lightning going crazy.
"Iris must be mad about something." I thought as the storm was extremely strong with the wind being fiercer than ever before. Looking over at the clock, I saw that it was two in the morning. Lying back down, I was about to go to sleep when I heard the chattering of Courage come from upstairs. Sighing, I was about to go up and try to calm him down but stopped when I saw lightning nearly hit the house.
'Damn, that was close.' I thought as I saw the lightning struck the ground only a few feet from the house. Then I remembered that we had a guest in the house as well. "Better check up on Penny to see if she's okay."
"Jaune. Are you there?" I heard penny call out coming down the stairs.
"Yes. Penny. I'm here. Are you alright?" I asked.
"I'm fine. I came to check on you as my reading indicate this this storm is not like normal." She answered.
"That's probably because Iris is mad for some reason." I told her as I looked outside and saw the storm grow more violent with each passing second.
"Who is this Iris?" Penny asked.
"Oh, she's, my girlfriend. And she can control the weather." I answered.
"Really, Ruby never told me her friend had a girlfriend. And I never heard of someone controlling the weather. What kind of semblance or dust does she use?" She asked with a wide-eyed expression. This caused me to chuckle a bit.
"Oh, Iris does not have a semblance or use dust. She is an actual Storm Goddess. She has the natural ability to control the weather. Though mostly storms to be exact." I clarified.
"There is an actual goddess of storms and you're dating her?" Penny exclaimed shocked.
"Yup." I said as I thought back to Iris and how lucky I am to have her met her and even luckier to be able to date her.
"Wow, that must be-" Penny began but got cut off when out of nowhere, a lightning bolt struck the house. Lightning started to go all around the house and started to affect everything. The t.v. started to go on and off by itself with the lamp doing the same. A second later we heard the sound of the fridge opening and closing by itself with some other appliances turning on and off as well. And from the light that started shine from the small opening under the kitchen door, I could tell that the light was also flickering on and off.
"What's happening?" Penny asked as she seemed worried and confused at all that is happening.
"I have no idea. But we should be sa—Muriel!" I shouted as I remember that Muriel and Eustace are sleeping and could have gotten hurt as well.
"We should check on them." Penny suggested. I nodded and we rushed up the stairs to their room. Opening the door, we saw that they were still asleep except for Courage who was shivering in fear between them. Looking to the side, I saw that their lamps were turning on and off by themselves as well.
"You okay Courage." I asked him.
'Y-yeah, I-I'm fine.' He answered still shivering. But nearly screamed when we heard laughing coming close by.
"Eustace, could you go see who's at the door." Muriel asked waking up. She turned and saw us. "Don't worry you two, it's just a storm. It will pass. Go back to sleep."
"Um, okay Muriel. Good night." I said before pulling Penny out of the room while Eustace barged past us and headed downstairs.
"Why did you not tell her about what happened?" She asked.
"She is too pure and will think we are just making it up. I have learned that it's best to keep her in the dark as it would make things less complicated." I answered.
"That makes some sense. I guess." Penny said unsure.
"Well, let's just go back to sleep." I said knowing it would be a headache to fully explain everything. She nodded but before we could go back to our beds, we heard Eustace shout. Turning to the stairs, we saw a very bright light blue light come from down the steps.
"WHAT! WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?!" Eustace shouted from downstairs.
"Now, I'll show the world the difference between courage and fear." We heard a familiar voice declare.
"Whatever that is, it sounds familiar." I said worried.
"According to my memory banks, it sounds exactly like your computer from earlier." Penny said with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"I'm not too sure about that, but whatever it is, it doesn't seem friendly. I going to grab my shield and sword from my room. Penny, can you guard this room." I told her before asking.
"Of course." She answered with a salute. Smiling, I quickly dashed back upstairs to my room and got a disturbing shock. The computer was gone completely.
'Maybe Penny was right.' I thought worried as I grabbed my shield and sword from under the bed. I gave it an experimental swing and nodded. I turned and was about to exit when I heard Muriel scream. I immediately raced down and saw a terrifying sight. Penny was 'knocked out' on the floor with the computer having a cable hold Muriel up into the air.
"Let her go." I shouted and charged at him. Only for him to trip me with the other cables he had. I grunted when I hit the floor. I then saw the computer stand above before giving me a shock and knocking me out cold.
Morning nine A.M.
Groaning, I felt my whole body ache a bit as my aura slowly healed me. Feeling someone shake me slightly, I opened my eyes before blinking a bit at the bright light. But after blinking a few times, my eyes adjusted and I was able to see Penny leaning over me with a worried look.
"Jaune, are you alright?" She asked as she helped me up.
"Just a bit sore. What happened?" I asked as I rubbed my head.
"I do not fully know. After you left, the computer appeared. I was about to pull out my weapons but suddenly, the computer shot out a cable and the next thing I knew, I was powering down. In fact, I just regained functionality moments ago." She answered.
"Are you alright? Is anything wrong?" I asked worried that she may have suffered damage.
"I am fine. I ran a diagnostic and everything is fine. But I thank you for your concern." She answered. I nodded and looked inside the room and saw no one inside.
"Let's go and see if anyone else is still here." I suggested. She nodded and we went down the stairs and saw Courage with his eyes and mouth open in shock.
"Courage, are you okay?" I asked him as we reached him. Seeing that he was still out of it, I slapped his head lightly to snap him back to focus.
'Fine?! How can you talk about being at this moment? Everything is-' He began only to mumble after a moment causing me to barely be able to understand him.
"Calm down Courage." I said as I gave him a light smack again.
'Thanks. I needed that.' He said as he rubbed his head.
"What has happened since we were last conscious Courage?" Penny asked.
'The storm somehow brought the computer fully to life. He then came to the room and kidnapped Muriel. I chased after him only faint when I reached him and saw that he transferred his life into her somehow and now controls her body.' Courage answered trying to stay calm but began panicking at the end.
"How is that possible?" I asked as I never thought that possible before except in movies.
"I have heard of attempts to try this before but all failed. Even then, they were into empty bodies and not ones with souls or consciousness." Penny added.
"Okay. We can figure that out later. But first, we need to find Muriel. Or in this case the computer inside Muriel's body." I said but quickly corrected myself when I saw computer's 'body' near us on the floor.
'Right. But where should we begin to search?' Courage asked. Luckily, the answer came when the T.V. suddenly turned on. We turned to it and saw that a breaking news report was on.
'It's a daring feat, never before attempted.' The reporter announced.
"Hey, you stupid kids and dog. Some stupid lady is going to get shot through the stupid moon to mars." Eustace suddenly yelled. We moved next to him and got surprise to see that he was just a head now. Turning to the T.V. it suddenly changed to show a giant canon with Muriel/Computer climbing into it.
'She's fearless. She's amazing. She's Mega Muriel the Magnificent.' The reporter declared as Muriel got into the canon and closed the door.
'Uh, no.' Courage shouted in fear.
"We have to stop her." Penny said shocked at what's happening,
"We don't have time to lose then. Let's go." I said as I rushed to the door. Only to stop when I realized there was a giant hole in the wall next to it. "Um, was that always there?"
'You just noticed that?' Courage asked with a chuckle with Penny giving a light laugh behind him as well. I smiled before rolling my eyes at them. We then exited the house through the hole and went to where Muriel currently was. Though, I did chuckle a bit when I realized that the computer destroyed Eustace's truck as well.
Cliff
After a good half hour, we finally reached the cliff where this event was taking place. Pushing past the people, we walked up to the canon and saw the entrance. Climbing up the ladder, we opened the hatch and got inside the cannon. Courage entered first with me second and helping Penny in as well before closing the hatch. Turning around, we saw Muriel/Computer smiling smugly at us.
"Had to come and see what true courage looks like eh, twerps?" Computer taunted.
"We came to stop you and get you out of this canon." I said as I grabbed her arm and tried to pull her out of the canon.
"Um, computer. What you are doing is dangerous. You have to stop." Penny added as she moved to try and help me.
"Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be human?" Computer asked penny which caused her to faulter which allowed the computer to pull the arm back from me.
"Yes. I always wondered what it would be like to be human." She answered as she began to think about what it's like to be human.
"And you will see what it's like." Computer said with a chuckle. I briefly wondered what he meant by that but quickly realized that he meant that fuse on the canon was lit and the canon was about to launch us into space.
"HANG ON!" I shouted as I grabbed a still thinking Penny and brought her close to me while also grabbing onto Muriel/computer.
"AAAAHHHHH!" Courage and I screamed in fear as we were sent flying into the air and quickly went into space and actually through the moon. But before we could make it to mars, a giant alien standing on meteor hit us with a giant tennis racket.
"OW!" We screamed in pain as we were sent flying back to the planet.
Farmhouse
"Ow." I grunted in pain as we walked slowly and painfully back to the farmhouse. After ten minutes, we reached it and opened the door. Courage was in a full body cast while I had a crutch and cast on my left arm. Penny was relatively fine. Mainly because she was extremely durable but also because as we fell back to the planet, I moved her so I could take the brunt of the impact.
"Thanks for taking the impact Jaune." Penny said helping me stay upright.
"Hey, that Mega lady is doing something real freaky now.
'What now?' Courage groaned in pain as we made our way in front of the T.V.
'You think that getting shot through the moon to mars wearing a fur hat and having two kids along for the ride would be enough. But not for Fearless Mega Muriel the Magnificent.' The reporter announced. 'Now she's waiting on the San Andreas fault for an earthquake.'
'Ha, ha, ha.' Muriel/computer laughed in the background.
'Ready to dive in when the ground starts rocking and rolling.' The reporter added while shaking his hips.
"Analyzing. I have no data on this San Adreas fault. Do you have any idea where or what that is Jaune?" Penny asked.
"No clue Penny. But then again, I have been to places I never thought existed before like a place called France and China." I answered.
'I know the place. Its where the biggest fault is. It is also the place where people speculate the biggest earthquake could take place.' Courage explained.
"Great. So that's going to be painful. Lead the way Courage." I told him. He nodded and began to exit the house but Penny stopped us.
"Are you sure it is wise to do this as both of you are still hurt?" She asked.
"We're sure Penny. You can trust us." I told her. She seemed torn between letting us continue and stopping us. But she sighed and let us through.
"Let us just be careful. I don't want my friends to be hurt." She said as we exited the house and headed to Muriel's location.
"We won't get hurt. And even if we do. It will only be minor. I promise you as my friend that." I told her. She seemed to lighten up when I call her my friend and nodded happily. Only to speed up and get ahead. But quickly remembered we could not walk fast do to being hurt. She apologized but we waved it off saying it was all good with a smile.
San Adreas Fault
After a good hour, we managed to make it to where Muriel was. But as we did so, the ground started to shake violently. Really violently. Pushing our way through the crowd, we spotted Muriel siting on the edge of the fault. We quickly raced over to her but failed to reach her in time as she jumped into the fault line when she spotted us.
"Now what?" Penny asked worried as we struggled to keep our balance.
'We go in after her.' Courage answered. Turning to him, we saw that he had put on a backpack with a fan on. He was apparently going to go in and try to fly her out.
"Courage, that's not going to—COURAGE!" I began to tell him only to shout in terror when he jumped into the fault as well. I immediately jumped in as well. Looking back, I saw penny hesitate but jumped in as well. Turning back around, we quickly reached Muriel/computer who smiled when he saw us.
"Look how scared you all are." Computer said as he pulled out a mirror to show us our reaction to falling into this fault line. I got annoyed while Penny was confused but Courage screamed when he saw himself in the mirror.
"Jaune. How do we get out of here?" Penny shouted to get my attention.
"I don't kn—LOOK OUT!" I shouted when I spotted a mountain quickly rising up. I quickly grabbed Courage and Penny in time and turned around so I could take the impact. Luckily, when it reached us, it did not hurt as badly like when we got sent hurdling back to the planet. After a few moments, we were back above the fault line on top of the mountain that came up from the fault line.
"I did not expect that." Penny said as she looked around the mountain confused as to where it came from.
"So long all of you." Computer suddenly said getting our attention. Looking towards her, we saw her doing the hitch hiker sign before jumping up and grabbing onto the landing gear of plane the suddenly flew by us.
"Great, we have to find her/him again." I said exasperated at seeing Computer disappear into the distance.
"At least we are not hurt." Penny said turning to us.
'That's true. But how do we get down from here?' Courage agreed before asking. But before anyone of us could answer or suggest anything, we heard a goat call out behind us.
"You had to say it." I told Courage as the goat hit us with his horns and sent us flying back to the farm.
Farmhouse
We were slowly walking back to the farmhouse. Penny was okay thankfully, but Courage was now in a wheelchair while now was using two crutches just to walk. Apparently, a goat hits you with much more force than you can possibly imagine. Not to mention, it sent us flying and landing near the farmhouse. Reaching the house, was walked in and saw Eustace still in his chair watching t.v.
"Now that Mega dame is going skiing." Eustace said when he heard us enter.
"Ohm thank Oum. At least that's a relatively safe sport." I nearly shouted in relief at that news.
'So, we don't need to worry now.' Courage added smiling.
"...off the top of the Empire State Building." Eustace finished after a moment.
"Right. Should have expected that." I said annoyed.
'Yeah, when does it ever go that easy on us?' Courage asked agreeing with me.
"What is the Empire State Building?" Penny asked.
"One of the tallest buildings in New York." I answered. She seemed worried at this before going confused again.
"What and where is New York?" She asked.
"We'll explain on the way." I answered as we exited the house again despite her protests not to do so.
New York
We were climbing the Empire State building. But not inside the building using the stairs or elevator. We were actually climbing outside the building. Courage even had a giant bungee rope to use in case Muriel/Computer does jump of the building. After a tiresome hour of climbing, we finally reached the top. Standing up and catching our breath, we saw Muriel/Computer looked down at us in amazement.
"I just don't understand either of you. You're both scared of a living shadow yet you both feel the need to risk your lives to try and stop me. People are such puzzles." Computer questioned.
"WOW. This is such a beautiful view." Penny said amazed at the view she was getting.
"Just wait until your human and get to feel the wind against your face and adrenaline coursing through your body." Computer told her before jumping off the building. Penny meanwhile became lost in thought again at what it must feel like to be human.
"Crap. Courage, do it now." I told him. He nodded and tossed the cord up to the top of the building where it somehow tied itself into a knot. We then tied it around our waists.
"Wait. Jaune, my calculations show that there is too little chance of surviving this." Penny warned grabbing onto my arm.
"I know Penny. But I am not going to let Muriel get hurt. And I'll tell you a secret later." I told her before freeing my hand and jumping off the building to go after Muriel with Courage right behind me.
We felt the wind rushed past our face as we tried to catch up to Muriel/Computer. A few seconds later, we were close and about to reach her, but before we could grab her, a window opened up with someone taking out a rug and dusting it. Muriel/Computer somehow used this as a ramp and flew off into the distance. But the same could not be said for us as we went straight through rug and ended up landing into the sewer that Muriel/Computer was supposed to go into. Luckily, they didn't as whatever was in there was not dirty water. And I knew that because as soon as we hit the water, we were sent flying out of the sewer with green smoke trailing behind us and crashed through a nearby power plant.
"OW!" We both grunted in pain from the hard landing.
"Dog. Kid. Over here." The voice of Computer suddenly called out to us. Turning around, we saw that Muriel/Computer was stuck in a weird machine.
"Listen you two. I know we had our difficult moments, but well, it's not like I'm scared or anything, it's just that if there is an electrical surge, I could crash you know, get wiped, zippo. And with this being a power plant and all, just be a good pup and kid and help me get out of here." Computer begged.
"JAUNE!" Penny shouted. Turning around, we saw Penny running towards us. "Are you both okay?
"Yeah, we're fine. But right now, we need your help." I told her.
"What do you need help with?" She asked.
"We need your help to free Computer. He is trapped there and if there is a power surge, it could cause him to crash. And seeing this is a power plant, it will happen if we don't act soon." I answered. But she did not move from her spot.
"Are you sure Jaune? After all the trouble and pain he caused, you still want to help him?" She asked.
"I know he caused a lot of problems, but he still is a friend in a sense. And I don't want to see him hurt either." I explained. She seemed unconvinced but nodded. But as she did that, the power plant came on.
"Hurry." Computer said as he looked around and saw the power plant come alive.
"Okay. I'll help." Penny said and went over to a console and started trying to shut everything down.
"Come on Courage. Let's try and help him." I told him.
He nodded and we went up to computer. We first tried to remove the ski gear from the machine. But it was stuck deep into the machine. We then tried to remove them from her but failed as well. I quickly looked around to try and find a way to free him. Luckily, Courage got an idea and started to bite through a belt on the machine and the ski boards. Unfortunately, he was only half way through when the machine came on and power was about reach us. But before it did, everything turned off.
"What?" We all asked.
"I did it." Penny said walking up to us. "I turned it off completely."
"Good job Penny." I told her while Courage finished freeing Computer.
"Yes. You all did well." Computer said getting down. He was about to say something else, but the plant suddenly turned back on again. Only this time, it was much quicker.
"MOVE PENNY!" I shouted and pushed her away while Courage pushed Computer away. And just in time, unfortunately, we were not able to escape in time as the electricity hit us. Causing us immense pain and burning before getting sent flying out of the power plant and land in front of the reporter.
"It's amazing! The dog and kid came flying out of the power plant. What a dog and kid! How did it feel?' The reporter asked while moving the microphone in front of us. I did not answer while Courage gave a hollow laugh in answer. Hearing some footsteps, I turned around and saw Muriel and Penny walk up to us. Penny picked me up while Computer picked Courage up.
"Mega Muriel. How did you ever come up with this outstanding stunt?" The reporter asked. Instead of answering, we began to walk away. "Not only does Mega Muriel have buns of steel, but she also has a heart of gold.
Ten Minutes later
We were nearing the farmhouse. Computer was still carrying Courage while I was walking while Penny was helping me stay up. I had healed from the electrical surge, but my aura was depleted from healing all the injuries I sustained from today. Entering the farmhouse, we heard Eustace begin to complain about being hungry. We headed upstairs while Computer picked up its old body before climbing up the stairs as well.
"You flesh creatures are dull. Dull, dull, dull." Computer said as we entered my room. He then placed his old body back where it began before putting Courage on his seat.
"Do you think you can stand by yourself Jaune?" Penny asked.
"Yeah. Thanks." I answered as I felt better now.
'Oh.' Courage moaned in pain and confusion while looking at Computer.
"You can have your Muriel back." Computer said while putting a cable onto the neck. On the screen, an image of Muriel and computer appeared. It then showed a transfer progress between them that soon showed download complete.
Eight P.M.
We were in my room with Muriel this time. Courage was writing on the computer while Penny and I watched. After a few moments, Courage finished.
"Ah, Courage. Jaune. These memoirs are just extraordinary. So entertaining. But how do they end?" Muriel asked. We looked at each other confused and unsure, but the computer decided to lend a hand this time.
"And they all live happily ever after." Muriel said reading what Computer typed. "That's lovely. Your both such good writers."
"They really are." Penny agreed.
"Well, I'll be in the kitchen if you need me." Muriel said before leaving my room. Turning to Courage, we turned off the computer.
"Well Courage, today has been something." I said with him agreeing before wincing a bit.
"And I learned a lot today and saw many new places." Penny added.
"And there is so much more to see." I told her. She smiled and was about to say something but then looked passed me to my window. Turning around, we saw a bullhead landing in front of the house.
"That is an Atlas bullhead." Penny said recognizing the symbol on it.
Curious, but concerned, we all went down and outside. Once outside, we saw a few Atlas soldiers looking confused. But they were relieved when they spotted Penny. They came up and explained that Ironwoods had sent them to find Penny and bring her back to Atlas.
"Well, this is goodbye Jaune. Hopefully we see each other again." Penny said walking to the bullhead.
"Of course, we're friends." I told her. She smiled before walking back up and entering the bullhead followed by the soldiers. Courage and I took a few steps back to allow the bullhead space to start up and fly away.
'She is definitely unique.' Courage said referring to Penny.
"Well, she is a robot. But even then, she is unique. Yet has more soul and heart than many people I know." I told him. He hummed in agreement before entering the house. But I decided to stay for a moment until the bullhead was out of sight. Once it was out of sight, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Looking up, I saw Iris next to me.
"Hey Iris." I greeted and leaned in to give her a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey Jaune. Came to check on you and to say sorry for that violent storm as some co-workers were really annoying. Hopefully, you did not get hurt." She said with a worried expression.
"I'm fine. But you did give me a fun adventure from the storm." I told her.
"Like what?" She asked confused.
"Let's head inside and I'll tell you." I told her with a smile. I grabbed her hand and we walked inside and spent the night together.
