"Now behave you two!" Clank commanded a pair of lombaxes while he double checked his tie in a mirror, smoothing back his antenna only for it to spring back up immediately. Ratchet and Rivet stood behind him at the beginning of the hall leading to the door. He turned to face them, Kit right by his side in a tux to match his. "We'll be back in the morning."

"Yeah, we know pal. You've told us 15 times already." Ratchet said, audibly tired of the same thing being said repeatedly. "Stop worrying about us and go have fun at the premier!"

"He's right!" Rivet said excitedly. "It's not everyday my partner gets to star in a movie, so go have fun!"

Kit shuffled in place, clearly embarrassed but happy for the attention she has received in the wake of being added to the Secret Agent Clank movie series. "Sorry again you two can't come."

Rivet waved off her concern. "For the last time, don't worry about it! So what if the theater only had room for you two? We can have our own fun here at home, right Ratchet?"

"Yeah! So get going you two!" Hee started shooing them out the door, practically pushing them out while Clank continued to give them clear instructions on what to do if anything went wrong, where the communicator frequency for the hotel was blah blah blah, Ratchet wasn't even listening. Eventually the door shut, leaving the two lombaxes alone in their Megalopolis apartment. They gazed headily at each other, grinning wide.

"You ready?" Rivet asked, her voice dripping with suggestion.

"You know it." Ratchet responded.


"Flush! Pay up!" Rivet yelled triumphantly as she displayed the cards in her hand. Ratchet groaned as he lost another hand to the natural talent across the table from him. When she had suggested doing something Clank didn't allow in the house, he had hoped for something more exciting than gambling. With a huff he pushed most of his remaining bolts over to her side.

"Can't we just have sex?" He asked, but she glared at him over the pile.

"Not while I'm on a hot streak like this! Now shuffle!"
