(Tumblr request for Tex and Caboose handcuffed together. Because that's such a safe combination. Written 12.1.12.)
Tex never considered herself a patient woman. Or, rather, a patient AI. In fact, she thought that her personality was the epitome of horrifically impatient. There was no indication in her mind that she should stand around waiting for things to happen when she had people to kill and money to make.
Therefore, the morning she woke up out of power-saving mode attached to Caboose at the wrist, she truly thought she had fallen into some sort of nightmare.
"What the—"
"It worked!" Caboose said brightly, plopping to the ground like a rag doll as Tex tried to shake him away from her in vain. "This is the best friendship bracelet ever!"
Tex stepped back multiple steps, dragging Caboose's rear on the ground toward her as she did so. "Wha— friendship? What the hell are you talking about? I thought you wanted to be friends with Church!"
"I do!" Caboose replied cheerily, standing up as if he had not been thrown about the room a moment before. "But I did not know if it worked on a robot body, so I had to test it! And it does work! Now I can give Church the bracelet instead!"
"You chose me because I'm not human!?"
Caboose shook his head, his eyes wide. "No. Church told me to."
Tex stared.
"Come on," she growled, striding out of the room and bringing Caboose to the ground again. "Walk."
"Where are we going?"
"We're going to find your best friend."
Tex flipped on her voice changer and adjusted it to the loudest setting.
"LEONARD L. CHURCH. IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE RIGHT NOW, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM."
