What's up, guys? I'm ready to start wrapping up. I'm not sure when I'll end it, but probably soon here. Until then, Enjoy!
"Why's it so coooold..." Dr. Cockroach whined when he felt his source of heat disappear.
With his eyes still closed, he searched for the warmth. He then heard a giggle and his eyes snapped open. He saw Susan standing above him with an amused expression. Startled, he fell backwards and started rolling down her giant pillow. He hit the metal of her cot with a "thud." He peeled himself up from the metal and stumbled around a little disoriented.
"Whoa..." He said before he fell backwards into Susan's waiting hands.
Susan giggled again as she brought Dr. Cockroach up to her height. Still lying on his back, he leaned his head up to look at her.
"Good morning, my dear..." Dr. Cockroach said as he finally stood up in her hand to straighten his lab coat.
"Morning, Doc." Susan giggled before she blushed and looked away. "I'm sorry to surprise you like this. You fell asleep and you really needed it, so I didn't want to wake you up. I figured you could sleep in her with me...since it wouldn't exactly be the first time.
"Ah-ha. Yes..." Dr. Cockroach tugged at his turtle neck nervously. "I-I don't mind at all, my dear. I suppose I did need a proper rest. Thank you."
Susan smiled down at him and started walking out of her room with Dr. Cockroach in her hand. The others were already eating breakfast when they entered the common room. Link looked at the two of them with a raised eyebrow.
"You two just can't get enough, can you?" Link smirked.
Susan blushed as she set Dr. Cockroach on the ground. Dr. Cockroach just rolled his eyes and took his seat. Susan took hers, as well. With neither of them answering, Link nudged B.O.B. with his elbow.
"Them not answering is a translation for 'yes.'" Link chuckled.
"What can they not get enough of?" B.O.B. asked confused but still laughed.
"You see, B.O.B.-" Link started before Dr. Cockroach jumped across the table and tackled him to the ground.
"Shut up, Link!" Dr. Cockroach yelled at him. "Do you really want to explain 'The birds and the bees' to someone with no B-R-A-I-N?"
"Since when could you speak a different language, Doc?" B.O.B. asked as he tried to decipher what Dr. Cockroach said. "And what's 'The birds and the bees?'"
"Good point, Doc." Link said as he pushed Dr. Cockroach off of him. "It's nothing, B.O.B."
"But-" B.O.B. tried to argue.
"Hey, B.O.B?" Susan stopped him. "Where's Jello? I haven't seen her in awhile."
B.O.B. gasped as he went in search of his jello girlfriend. Link just snorted and went back to eating his fish. Dr. Cockroach smiled at her and walked back to his chair.
"Brilliant distraction, my dear." Dr. Cockroach congratulated as he took his seat. "I wouldn't have been able to come up with something like that right on the spot."
"Thanks, Doc." Susan smiled with a small tinge of pink on her cheeks. "I'm sure with that genius head of yours, though, you would've come up with something."
"Do you guys have to do this right in front of me?" Link groaned. "I'm happy for ya, but this is torture!"
"Link," Susan sighed. "Just suck it up like a man."
"I'm more man than you little boyfriend here." Link said pointing at Doc before stalking off with the last of his fish.
"I'm not her boyfriend!" Dr. Cockroach shouted to his back.
He sighed as he looked back at Susan. He gave her an apologetic smile as he climbed up the table.
"Sorry about that, my dear." Dr. Cockroach said as he put his hand on her thumb in a soothing gesture. "Link's about as immature as they get."
"It's fine, Doc." Susan smiled.
"Since they're gone, I figure I can give you your surprise now." Dr. Cockroach told her with a smirk. "I was able to finish it before you sent me to bed."
"Then why'd you insist you finish it?" Susan questioned as she tried to put on the best stern look she had. Only to have laughter dancing in her eyes.
"Well, my dear." Dr. Cockroach said with a wink. "I like to draw things out. Make it harder on others."
"You're evil." Susan laughed.
"Thank you."
Susan rolled her eyes with a smirk as she watched Dr. Cockroach scurry into his lab. When he came back out, he was holding something behind his back. He then pulled it out to reveal a large ring. It wasn't fancy. It was just a simple silver hoop. Even so, Susan gasped.
"What's that, Doc?"
"This, my dear, is a ring. It's a special ring, though. This one is laced with a special technology that was salvaged from the alien spaceship. It can absorb the Quantonium from your body, and allow you to be regular size then change back to Ginormica at any given time." Dr. Cockroach explained as he climbed up the table and put the ring in her palm.
She looked at the ring then at Dr. Cockroach who hopped off of the table to the ground below. With a short breath, she slipped the ring on. She then felt herself begin to shrink and, with a shock of terror, she saw she was falling. Luckily, Dr. Cockroach was there to catch her before she connected with the ground. The sudden impact was too much for him, though, and he fell down with Susan on top of him.
"Ow..." Dr. Cockroach and Susan groaned in unison.
Susan peeled herself off of the Doc and looked at the ring excitedly. She could now go back and forth peacefully. She pulled Dr. Cockroach up in a hug when the sliding of a door was heard.
"Oh not again..."
