Day 290

Whoops, forgot it yesterday because I was so distracted with the little main story multi, but let's bring out Habibot. Wonder what his fear is going to be…(actually had a brilliant idea come to me when I was supposed to be paying attention to my chemistry lecture)

Habi stretched his claws above his head, feeling his tiny claws dig further in to the sand. With a pout of his mouth, the long, spiral straw filled with swirling liquid before finally reaching his mouth, filtering oil straight in to his system. He sighed contently, before falling back in to the sand, feeling the heat of the sun cascade over his metal frame.

Ah, this is the life.

Robots of all different shapes and sizes walked, crawled or hovered over the sand at this exclusive beach, while Habi remained where he was as he enjoyed the view.

"Habi, are you coming?" Jenny called from the sand. The robot opened his eyes, furrowing his eyebrows in frustration at the sight of his team.

Just when things are perfect.

The robot merely turned around, facing his back towards the group. He didn't feel bad; it was his vacation after all, and he deserved a little rest after everything he does at the habitat. Hanging with the team was usually the last thing he wanted to do, so right now, all he needed was to soak up the sun and recharge his solar powered batteries.

"This seat taken?" a voice echoed in transmission code beside him. At first, the little bug bot sighed, feeling annoyed that his peace was interrupted so quickly. He shifted his gears, and allowed his jaw to loosen at the sight of the beautiful bot beside him. Her skin glistened with oil as though she had just left the pool nearby, and now she was asking to sit down next to him!

Say something, say something you big chicken.

"Ah, ah yes, that seat is free," he replied meekly. She quickly took the chair next to the little robot, moving in her spot while Habi quickly turned his head away, scolding himself from stuttering. He instantly returned to his new company.

"You are so adorable," she was quick to strike up a conversation, edging her chair closer to his. Habi felt the heat rise up to his little face, but excused himself to fix the sparking circuit.

"Thank you," he replied, once again internally hitting himself from sounding so ridiculous.

The female robot leaned closer to Habibot, her claw creating sparks as it hit his hand. "And so cute, and…"

"Habi?" Jenny woke up the little robot who was sound asleep on his pillow. The clone shrugged casually as Habi shook his head, delivering what the engineer could have assumed was a dirty scowl.

"Don't look at me like that," she laughed, oblivious to the fact that the robot was still staring intensely at her. "You need to take out the garbage and the recycling. Oh and don't forget; you're on babysitting duty tonight with the boys."

The robot exclaimed in disappointment, letting his head fall in to the pillow below him.

Welcome to my living nightmare.

R&R! Habi is so funny!
