Disclaimer: I do not own anything in the first chapter and most of the rest of the story. I also don't own Xenon. *pout*
Claimer: I own the short purple man!
Me: Hello! It's me again.
Bob: And me!*indignantly*
Me:*sighs* And Bob. Well, I hope you like this chapter.
Bob: I hope so too!
Me: Shut up.
"Say what?" Travis couldn't hear, but everyone ignored him. All of the machines (except Travis) zoomed outside where gray clouds were gathering. "Where did everyone go?" Travis asked the empty space. "Oh well," he said and decided to take a nap.
Meanwhile outside…
"Hey! Where's Bob?" Packer asked.
"Yeah!" said Grabber, which is pretty much all he's capable of saying.
"I don't know…" Muck trailed off. Everyone looked where he was looking. Bob was coming up the hill! With his hands on his butt?
"What's he doing?" Dizzy asked.
"Is his fanny hurt?" Scoop wondered.
"Yeah!" Grabber put in.
"Hey, I just thought of something… What time is it?" Splasher asked. Packer looked at his wrist – I mean wheel – watch.
"It's 10:30ish."
"Yikes! I have a tour at 10:30!" he sounded panicky. "Gotta roll!" he said and drove away. Dizzy burst into tears, remembering Roley.
Just then Bob came up. Uh oh!
Meanwhile with Splasher…
"Oh no! Oh no oh no! ...Gonna fire me too!" Splasher mumbled to himself. (Hey! Why are all of Bob's machines guys? That's sexist! Splasher is now a girl.) Splasher mumbled to herself.
He – I mean SHE – drove as fast as she could go: 15 mph. She made record time to Bobland Bay. It only took 20 minutes! When she arrived she was greeted by a short purple man.
"I'm so sorry that I kept you waiting! Bob hurt his fanny and Roley got fired…" the words tumbled from Splasher's mouth.
"Oh no problem, no problem!" the little purple man said with an accent unlike any Splasher had heard before. She stared at the little man. Why was he purple? She'd never seen a purple-person before – but Bob had refused to pay for her to go on the world trip in high school, so maybe there was a whole country of purple-people. Maybe all people outside of Bobland had only one eye…
"The tour starts here. This is Bobland Bay," Splasher began her speech after the little purple man climbed onto her and into the seat. It had been on for about half an hour when very suddenly Arnold (the little purple man) started talking in a weird, hypnotic voice.
"I come from the planet Xenon. My master, Richard III, is now your master. He has control over your brain. Go to your friends and control them as well."
"Yes, Arnold," Splasher said in a weird robotic voice. Arnold climbed off of her back and she drove away. Arnold pulled out a little walky-talky thing and spoke into it in a low voice.
"I have completed the mission, my lord."
A voice came from the other end. "I will send down your ship."
"Thank you my lord," Arnold said with gratitude.
Bob: How come I don't get to say anything?
Me: 'Cause I say so.
Bob: Hmmmf. *turns away*
Arnold: *maniacal laughter*
Me: *groans* Why are you here, Arnold?
Arnold: Huuuh?
Me: Not very bright, are we?
R&R?
