A/N: This might actually be the shortest update in human history, but I wanted to get something up. I'll post more soon. I owe a huge thank you to pattersk, Ninja Bagel, molly1006, Ollie, and for reviewing. I really appreciate it! =]


Pete woke up slowly, trying his best to open his eyes and rejoin the land of the conscious. He couldn't believe he'd fallen asleep at all, but he figured that at a certain point his body was just too exhausted and the need to sleep overcame his worry.

He heard a buzz and felt Myka stirring next to him. He looked across the room and noticed the Farnsworth vibrating it's way off of the table. He sat up and looked at the clock. 9:30. Much later than their normal time.

"Go get that," he heard Myka mutter. He was surprised that's all she had to say considering she had just woken up with him in the same bed as her, but he pushed back those thoughts and got out of the bed to get the Farnsworth.

"Pete!" The tiny head of Artie yelled. "What have you guys been doing? This is the third time I've tried."

"We've been asleep. We're tired. You just woke us up."

"How is everything? Any change since yesterday? How's Myka holding up?"

"She's fine. She's right here."

"Put her on."

Pete handed the device to Myka. "He wants to be graced by your presence."

Myka gave him a look and took it from his hand. "Hey, Artie," she grated out.

"Are you okay? The only updates I've been getting are from Pete," he replied.

"Throat hurts a little, but I'm fine," Artie heard her respond, along with a low, "My updates are fabulous," from Pete.

"Artie, we didn't get the artifact," Myka continued. "It's probably in the water, too. I think Maurice had it when he knocked me in and went into the water."

"Yeah, Lizard Boy definitely had it," Pete cut in. "But he could be anywhere by now."

"I know. I'm going to arrange for a search of the lake, but that may be all we can do at this point. If it's not in the lake, then we'll have to wait for him to appear in another city."

"That could be years from now," Myka complained.

"Probably, but I can't trace either the artifact or Maurice, so that's our only option. Stay there for the day and we'll see if we can find the artifact. Either way, you both can fly back tonight."

"Alright, we got it. We'll wait for the divers." Pete waved goodbye and shut the Farnsworth.

"So, what are we going to do till then?" Pete looked down at her.
