Gah! I was supposed to update LAST weekend dang it...Sorry. Honestly, the reason that I didn't update was that I was working on this and got stuck, I'm still not 100% sure on how well it turned out, but I hope it's acceptable. Sorry! Please forgive me! BUT, on the upside I have been working on a special that will be published a) once I complete it (which I hope to do soon) and b)when this story hits 100 reviews, which isn't that far away, in celebration. It's not done yet, so it probably won't come out exactly when this story hits 100(Sorry again!) but it does mean that there might be a week day update for whenever I do get it done!
Again, Sorry for the wait! I will try to get the next one out sooner!

It's Kinda Funny
Spanner
It's kinda funny, I mean seriously! It made perfect sense!
"So, what's all this?"
"What's all what?" you asked as looked up from your spot on the floor to peer up at the blonde mechanic from the cluster of wires and screwdrivers strewn over the floor and among the small army of Moscas cluttering the wide area.
"This." he said blatantly gesturing vaguely to the room as whole with the hand holding the wrench shaped lollipop that he had previously held in his mouth.
You glanced at the rest of the room, which was messy as usual, and then understood, whipping your head back to grin at the blonde.
"Oh Yeah! Do you like it? It's great isn't it?"
Now…how to answer that….
"…No." The mechanic answered blatantly.
"What!" you exclaimed, "why not?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
You just glared *cough*-pouted-*cough* up at him with an annoyed look on your face.
"No." you replied just as blatantly.
"[Name], they're pink."
"Yeah, so?"
"No one is going to take a hot pink Mosca seriously in battle."
"Oh, but that's the point!"
He just looked at you with a raised eyebrow, prompting you to elaborate.
"See," you explained "no one will take them seriously so it'll be just that much easier for them to cut down the enemies 'cause they won't bother running!"
Hey, it made perfect sense!
"Okay…" Spanner started, "and what will we do when we need to send a Mosca on stealth mission, or to go through a forest? How will they hide then?"
"Well~…" Spanner eyed the new can a spray pain you were holding up in front of you. This did not bode well.
"[Name], we can't just repaint the Moscas each time they need to be sent into battle…"
"But why~?" you whined "it's an awesome idea and you know it!"
"Maybe," Spanner lowered himself to the floor beside you and began to work on the circuitry of the mini-mosca in front of him, "But [Name]—"
"What?"
"The higher ups really aren't going to approve sending bright pink moscas into battle."
"Yeah" you grumbled. "I guess you're right…"
Spanner glanced over at your dejected form: hands around your knees, pulling them up to your chest as your chin rested on their tops and your eyes slowly studied to pattern of wires on the floor. Spanner sighed to himself before turning away from the mini-mosca and tossing his wallet at your head.
"Hey!" you looked up rubbing your forehead while you frowned at him. It's not like it hurt, but random things connecting with your forehead was seldom a pleasant experience, especially if it was a wrench or some other piece of mechanical know-how.
Spanner's attention had returned to the circuits of the mini-mosca. "Get me a green tea" he explained the thrown wallet. You pouted at him-"and get something for yourself."
Your grin returned full force.
"'KAY!" you sprinted out of the room immediately, agilely skirting mechanical parts and tools until you hurtled a full Mosca and flipped out the door way.
"Be back soon~!" you sang out as you dashed down the hall. Although you were too far from the lab to see it Spanner smiled back after you as you shot down the hallway away from the lab.
'Honestly' he thought, you were such a kid sometimes...now…
He turned back to look at the rest of the lab and mentally grimaced. Honestly, just were had you found the time and energy to paint over fifty-two Moscas electric pink?
…Nevermind. He'd just found the arsenal of pink spray paint cans piled in an abstract mountain on the side of the room and half of his lollipop stash gone…he grimaced, he would have to never let that girl around sugar again, now to begin cleaning up…
maybe a good power washing…?
Extended Ending:
You hummed happily to yourself as you strode down to the hallway tossing your drink in you hands while you carried Spanner's. It was a happy, happy good da-
CRASH!
You jumped a bit and raced down the hallway towards the lab. Was there an attack? But, this far down…a malfunction? The Mosca…
You skidded to a stop in front of the doorway and- stopped, blinking at the scene before you.
Spanner was lying upside down with some sort of hose in his hands and a Mosca with its arm extended and several fresh strips of pink-paint free area showing.
Spanner tilted his head to look further up at you from the floor.
"The power was up too high."
Er. "Right…are you okay?"
"Never better."
There was an awkward moment of silence in which neither of you attempted to move.
"Have you got my tea?"
Omake:
Spanner sighed as he pulled out the power hose, it was going to take forever to get through de-painting all the Moscas. Dragging the first Mosca out into a place in the fairly empty space with a drain(thank the machine Goddess that he would not have to move them all outside first because there's absolutely no way an innocent civilian would notice and army of robots standing on someone's yard) he turned on the hose and moved to begin the process.
The concentrated water blast had only just touched the Mosca when suddenly its arm shot out knocking the poor Mechanic head-over-heels into several boxes and crates near by with a resounding crash.
Apparently the self protection commands still being turned did present a problem.
It was less than a second later that, with the screech of sneakers on floor, you slid into the door frame.
Spanner glanced up at you and considered the developments of his day thus far.
"Have you got my tea?"
Hopefully the answer would be yes with a whole bag of his custom, wrench-shaped, lollipops to go with it.
So? How was it? Sorry again for the lateness! GOMEN!
I almost didn't think that I would be able to make an update today at all, because I took a two hour drive to my Aunt Nora's remembrance(she hated memorials and funerals because they were to sad, so this was more of a celebration of her life)stayed there till past five, and then took the two hour drive back home.
I'll try to update faster in the future!
