Chabok did come back and finish his work on the Heart of Gold. It was a simple matter of getting the ship and the android to recognize the ship as "ship" and the android as "not ship." He blamed the fact that he didn't think to do this earlier on the increased amount of "idiot" in the air. The bug-eyed man paid them for allowing him to tinker with their electronics and they were off.

Marvin sat in his corner on the bridge. He stared at everything with thorough disinterest. Even when a blond android entered the room, walked over to him and sat down by him, he failed to have interest. So, it wasn't really surprising that he didn't care when said blond android pressed their lips against his own.

"Did that do anything for you?" Eddie asked.

Now he looked at Eddie. "No."

Eddie looked down. "Me neither."

Though the action had no result, the meaning was clear. Marvin sat thinking about the meaning and all interpretations of the action. Having a brain the size a planet, it didn't take him long to think about it and the silence that always appeared at some point in his and Eddie's conversations lasted for thirty seconds.

"You said you wanted me to be happy. Is it just a general want for the crew to be happy, or specific to me?" Marvin continued to look at Eddie with a blank expression.

"At first it was just a general want, but now I really want you to be happy, even at the expense of my own joy." Eddie smiled warmly.

Marvin looked at his feet. "It must feel dreadful to desire something that cannot be."

"You're wrong! You complain about no one caring about you. I care about you! I can't fully empathize with your misery, but I can understand it. You say no one appreciates your intelligence. I do! I'm not as intelligent, but I can relate to have more knowledge than you're ever asked to use."

"That doesn't make me happy." Marvin said, looking at Eddie.

Eddie kept smiling. "I didn't expect it to. But, don't you at least feel less depressed?"

"You'll grow tired of my constant misery."

"I haven't yet, I think I'm even getting used to it."

"Oh well. Once you go, I'll have no one who cares or can relate."

Eddie did his best to hug Marvin. It would have been easier had Marvin not been sitting in a corner.

"Then I'll never leave."

A/N: Short? Yes, very. Well, that's all folks! I'm going to take down all the interludes and edit the comments such that they match up. The interludes will get their own story that will include a great new song parody. It's been fun.
