19- Backstory
It was dark, smelly and filled with a bunch of abandoned home goods, but for Kim, this was her home.
Kim just stayed in her corner, watching as a desk lamp pick a fight with a blender.
"Who started it?" she grumbled.
Phineas and Chop pointed at each other. "He started it."
Kim shook her head. This was her only source of entertainment. Phineas was a small blue desk lamp. Chop was a blender won at some competition. Mistress really wanted the movie tickets. The other appliances mostly talked among themselves.
Toaster woke up to find Kirby gone. "Uh, where'd he go?"
"Master took him to the shop," Lampy said. The three just stared at him.
"To clean up the shop."
Kirby approached the work table. Something familiar, and shaped oddly like him, lay under a sheet. In the trash was an old motor. A thick orange substance clogged it.
Igor sneaked up behind him. "It's been ages since we've had a Kirby on the table."
Kirby whirled around. "That... that's..."
Boris uncovered the patient. Sure enough, Kirby was looking at another of his brand. "I believe he's a G5."
"Made in the late 90's," a desktop computer droned.
Robbie and his mother opened the shop. Robbie took a look in the trash can. "Yuck. What did this thing clean up?"
Mrs. McGroarty sighed. "The men at Shadyside Amusement park said it was cheese."
