Soundtrack of Love
Answer the Phone
Answer the Phone
Bob paced back and forth in his bedroom, sighing every
time he heard the busy signal on the other line. He quickly closed the vidwindow
and sat on his bed and sighed again. He'd been trying to get in touch with
Dot since the whole Megabyte thing, but he couldn't reach her. She was either
gone or the line was busy.
We're on this rollercoaster ride
Hold on, I'll stay here by your side
No matter how many times he tried to tell her he'd be there for her, she was pushing him away again. She was really taking the heat for what had happened and though he did slightly blame her, his love for her outweighed that.
We head up to the sky,
Then we slide back down.
It seemed like an ironic twist. Every time they got closer, something pulled them apart and they'd be back at the starting line all over again. This constant back and forth was starting to weigh on his nerves.
Upside down, trying to figure out
Not sure if we could work it out
What did she want from him? He had been lost in the Web and had fought to come back to her. He had gone against a super virus who wanted him to destroy the Net. He had nearly deleted, with the merge from Glitch and then exerting his powers under Daemon. Things seemed to be going well, until that spammed virus stepped from the portal, looking like him.
I wanna be alone
But you feel like home.
Bob brought up another window and tried calling Dot again. Again, he got a busy signal. Sighing in frustration, he fell back on the bed, leaving the window to blink, LINE IN USE, in bright red letters.
Answer the phone
I know you're at home
I wanna get you alone
And do it again, do it again.
Bob closed the window and laid back down. That kiss on the Principal Office had meant something to him. He had just figured it meant something to her as well. Maybe it didn't, but then...she asked him to marry her. He thought that had meant something too. He should've seen it from the beginning...
The signals are a flashing red
He should've seen the signs, but he was so weak from Daemon and...the fact that Dot seemed to want him more just made him sick. He had loved her for so long and she had obviously changed her mind about him. The time he was gone had turned her heart from him, but the kiss renewed them. Or so he thought.
But now, things were very wrong. Megabyte was back and could be anyone at this point. Dot couldn't look at him, not when he looked like the very guardian she wanted.
It doesn't matter what was said
Bob closed his eyes, everything he had ever wanted was crumbling around him.
This bed is much too big without me and you.
Bob shook his head, trying to keep from crying. He was out of options at this point. He didn't know what Dot needed in order to make her understand that he needed her, wanted her.
This all seems so ridiculous
Why can't we just get over this?
Don't make me say the obvious
Without you...
Sitting up, he tried her line again. This time, it rang. And rang. And rang and rang and rang. Bob screamed in frustration. "Answer your spammed phone!"
Answer the phone

He sat watching the vidwindow. NO ANSWER. He sighed. "Dot, I know you're home." he said. "Dot, please talk to me. I'm going random over here!"
I practiced all my lines
To a telephone
While you were sleeping
"Dot, please." he pleaded. "Why won't you talk to me? Even see me. I thought we've been over this."
I practiced all my lines
To a telephone
While you were sleeping
"I love you." he said quietly. "I love you, Dot. I can't lose you, not again, especially not to...him. There was a time when you could trust me, Dot. Has all that really changed?"
I praticed all my lines
To a telephone
While you were sleeping
Bob looked at the window, sighing. He was talking to no one. Dot wasn't there or just wasn't answering. Probably knew it was him and she wasn't answering.
Answer the phone
I know that you're home
I wanna get you alone
And do it again, do it again
The guardian closed the connection. Maybe this was the end. Perhaps he hadn't seen things clearly from the start. Maybe he and Dot weren't meant to be together. it would take some time to get use to, but perhaps he wasn't meant to be the sprite in Dot's life.
