With Cindy's hand warm in his, she and Jimmy were carried to a different table. His eyes widened at the first sight of the creatures all around them. Cindy shut hers uncharacteristically. That made Jimmy smile tentatively and pull her closer. An old looking being picked Cindy up and quickly yanked off her halter top and floods, sticking what looked like a doll's dress over her blonde pony tail. Jimmy, nervously, didn't tear his eyes away until he blushed and realized what had just happened. She stomped back as soon as she was released. "You better have looked away Neutron, or you're dead."
He tried to stammer out an "I did," but she just sighed and waved his answer away. "I think it's your turn, Brainy."
Jimmy looked just in time to see the gnarled, weirdly jointed hands scooping him up. It was unnerving just to be this close to the leathery… being, much less feeling it's fingers all over your body as you're stripped and dressed like your little sister's Barbies. He sulked as he was set back down.
Cindy grinned. "What, Neutron? Can't take it? You want to cry?"
He didn't mention that she had seemed close to tears only a few minutes ago.
They were swept away again. They collectively figured out that they were probably being sold as a set, (which was weird all on it's own – how often do you get sold?)
Meanwhile, as Carl was trying to lecture the dress-up alien on what he was allergic to and therefore couldn't wear, Tee was sneaking back in. ("I have to pee, Fool! You want me to pee all over yo' feet?") After his quick trip to the bathroom, he didn't quite make it to the door. "What you doing to the little dude?" He asked the alien lady.
She barely even looked over. "Why?"
"I just don't want 'em to get uncomfortable. I hate being uncomfortable."
Sheen jumped up. "Finally! Someone who understands!"
He turned to Estevez. "You get uncomfortable, too?"
Sheen waved his hand, "All the time! Like there was once when I had to get a hair cut, and they wouldn't let me do the traditional 'Goodbye to Hair' ceremony, as seen in episode 122 of UltraLord. I was like, come on! It was so necessary!"
Tee rubbed the back of his head. "So what are they doin' with you? Selling ya? You're a toy?"
Sheen shrugged, unworried. "I don't know, they don't tell us anything here. Whatever, though. I didn't like that last place I lived to much, anyway."
"You mean Erf?"
"Yeah, that's the one, that grubby planet that kept making me trip." Sheen rolled his eyes.
Tee grunted. His jumbled mind was hatching a little plan. "Hey Toy, come 'ere."
