...it's been forever since I updated oAo But anyway, here's another good one-shot~ This was originally a gift intended to a friend.
Annoyance is an Understatement
If you were to search the Super Robot for a certain Blue Monkey, you wouldn't have to search far. For you would usually find him about in his own lab, during some strange experiment that would make no logical sense to any of Gibson's teammates, including one who seem to be going about towards the very lab itself.
Who this was you asked? Why I thought that the sea-green fur and big friendly grin on the simian who made his way down the hall with a bounce in his steps would be the best clues.
But yes indeed, Otto, the team own's mechanic, was right in the midst of his own search for the blue brother of his. Why? There was no danger to be warned of or any new inventions he would dish out to show the scientist first thing when it was completed.
No; it was simply because he just wanted to talk to his pal.
Arriving at the lab entrance, Otto peeked his head through the doorway; like a child waiting to come out of his hiding spot, noticing that Gibson was currently at his counter, carefully trying to pour some chemicals into a glass container, while murmuring inaudible words to himself.
Gibson needed complete silence; he could not drop any of the liquid, for even a small bit could burn through the table.
Did Otto really know this? Of course he did not. Preceeding (more on skipping) inside, he came up behind the blue simian as he greeted rather loudly. "Hiya, Gibson!"
To say Gibson was simply startled was an understatement; he had nearly jumped to the roof of the ceiling upon the sudden greeting, dropping the glass beaker of liquid which had fallen on the counter, shattering it, and allowing the contains to flow onto the table, before promptly melting through the metal with a sizzle, leaving a gaping hole as a result.
The second time that day.
Recovering from his shock, the Blue Monkey turned around to give the Green Monkey a very stern look. "Otto! Why on Shuggazoom did you sneak up on me? Didn't you see I was busy?"
Otto blinked. "You were busy?" The mechanic didn't consider what he saw being that busy...
"Yes," Gibson folded his arms. "I was in the midst of an important experiment to heat up the contain," His scowl deepened. "Which has now melted through my work station and currently doing the same to the floor."
"Oh," The Green Monkey blinked again. "How come you were talking to yourself then?"
Gibson groaned; using his two fingers to rub his temples. "Never mind, Otto," He glanced over at the destroyed counter, then back at his teammate. "Mind I ask what gives me this untimely interruption?"
"I just wanted to come by and say hello!" Otto smiled.
Resisting another groan, the Blue Monkey turned around to work on getting the remaining liquid off the table safely. "Well, it seems you already had. Now you don't mind I'm busy."
He waited a couple moments, before looking over his shoulder to see that Otto was still standing there. "Getting important work done." he added.
The mechanic continued to stand there.
Gibson fidgeted. "Alone."
With the message finally getting to Otto's brain, he grinned and said, "Say no more, Gibson! I'll be here to make sure no one bothers you while you'e busy!" He proved this statement by putting a hand to his forehead and searching around like he was really.
It's obvious I won't get Otto off my hands for a while, Gibson thought with annoyance, returning to cleaning. "Instead, Otto, why don't you help me clean this up?"
Otto screeched with delight. "You want me to help?"
Gibson flinched, starting to regret that decision. "Well, actually-,"
"How can I be of service, Mr. Hal Gibson?" Otto asked, trying to sound like a professional, although he was clearly excited all the same.
"You can help by... watching and making sure I get every bit of the substance."
"Yes, sir!"
The scientist sighed, somewhat pleased that he could (hopefully) not have Otto causing any mishap during his stay. After he was only done cleaning a third of the mess...
"Hey, Gibson!"
"...yes, Otto?"
"Knock, knock!"
Gibson gave him an annoyed look. "I will not play such a childish game."
"Aww, come on," the mechanic pouted. "Just this once?"
"No."
"Please?"
"I will not repeat myself, Otto."
"Pretty please?"
"No."
"Oh please please please with tons of sugar on top?"
"No!"
"How about I, Spy?"
"Well, I spy troublesome presence in the room."
"Oh! I can't get this one! Can you give me a hint?"
Gibson smirked slightly; figuring this might keep the monkey on bay with his bickering for a while. "No hints I'm afraid, Otto."
He had only left his teammate pondering for just a minute, before again he spoke up, to Gibson's own irritation. "Hey, Gibson, guess what?"
"...what?"
"That's what!" Otto giggled like a child.
The scientist would have facefaulted if he could (if it wasn't for the fact his hands were already busy with other jobs), but continued on with his work while Otto continued babbling about who knows what...
Although part of him hated to admit it, the other presence in the room seem to slightly comfortable to the Blue Monkey.
That was not an understatement for sure.
Hope you enjoyed! Review please~
