Chapter Two: A robot and his butler
Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence had been stranded on the asteroid for several months. To pass the time, they played games.
(Author's Note: Lawrence always won)
"Ready?" asked Lawrence.
"Ready," said Nefarious.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors!" they yelled in unison.
"Damn, Lawrence! You won again. How do you do that?"
"Well, sir, when I started playing this game, I practised on an idiot for two weeks until I got it right."
"Hmmmm. That's funny Lawrence; we've been playing this game for two weeks."
"I know."
For the billionth time, Dr. Nefarious had failed to notice that Lawrence was, indirectly, calling him stupid. He went to his rocky 'bed', lade on his back and put his hands behind his pointy head and stared at the stars. "How long has it been Lawrence?" he asked.
"I believe it's been four hundred and fifty-three days, sir," Lawrence replied, playing with one of the electric guitar's strings left behind after Nefarious smashed it because the name 'Ratchet' had been mentioned.
"That long?" asked Nefarious with a bit of surprise in his voice. "One day, when we'll be in range, I shall return and fulfil my destiny! TO DESTROY ALL THE SQUISHIES IN THE SOLONA GALAXY!.!.!.!.!.!"
"IF we're ever in range, sir," Lawrence corrected.
"Whatever," answered Nefarious.
Pause.
"Lawrence?"
"Sir?"
"How will we ever be in range? No planet exists this far outside Solana. And it's been four hundred and fifty-three days."
"Then we'll have to hope that a ship passes by or some of our remaining robots find us."
"I hope it happens soon Lawrence, I really hope so."
This chapter is totally unnecessary, but I wanted readers to see how Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence were doing.
