Chibi stared out the window, completely despondent. The entire planet was nothing but brown and garbage and dirt. Only a few plants and thin patches of grass remained. It made Chibi's heart ache painfully. How had the world gotten this bad?

How had humanity stooped as low as to destroy their home?

Telly was beside him, shaking with terror, "What happened to our home?

Chibi sat down cross-legged and hid his face with his hands.

"We..." Telly spoke slowly, "Failed..."

Leah sighed behind them, "I'm so sorry..." she rested her head on her arms, over the windowsill, "I can only imagine what you're feeling..."

"What happened to the sky? The trees? The grass?" Telly asked, feeling a dark cloud of sorrow hang over him, "Where are all the birds? The frogs? The...the flowers?"

Leah closed her eyes as raindrops began to hit the glass of the window pane, "I know...well, not entirely, because I was only built about twenty years ago, but I have seen pictures and videos..." she let her fingers tap the sill, "...I wish I could've been there, maybe then I'd understand what you're going through..."

"What?" Telly and Chibi turned to look at her, "You'd want to go through our pain just so you'd have perfect empathy!?"

"Yeah...kindness was always my biggest character flaw..."

Chibi felt something flutter in his chest, and he looked away as heat creeped up his face. He ignored it.

"That's not a character flaw..." Telly mumbled before turning back to the window, "This is awful..."

Leah frowned again, "Yeah..."

Chibi tried to listen to the rain to calm him, but it only made him think of his frog friends, Frieda and Fred. He felt tears gathering in his eyes.

"Chibi-Robo?"

Chibi looked at Telly, taking a frog ring out of his head capsule. Then he shrugged.

"Oh..." Telly turned to Leah, seeing that Rose hadn't left the room either, "Our human friends are gone, aren't they?"

"Oh...yeah, they're gone...I'm sorry..."

Telly turned away, "It's not your fault..."

"Is there anything I can do?" Leah asked, "Um, I have some flower seeds!"

Chibi perked at that. Flower seeds?

"Oh!" Telly smiled, "You love flowers, don't you, Chibi-Robo?"

Yes!

"Okay, but will you be alright in the rain?" Leah asked.

"I would be concerned about rust, but, we can't really get any more rusty, can we?"

Rose giggled, "We have plenty of oil."

"Yeah. Come on! It'll cheer you up." Leah lifted Chibi into her arms and descended the elevator.

Chibi looked up at her. She was so kind, just like him. Her orange eyes made him think of the nectar flowers in the Sanderson's backyard. Everything about her was calm and warm and inviting, like his pajamas that Mom made for him.

He felt that fluttery feeling come back, and again, he ignored it.

"Oh, hey Leah!" EVE said, "Hey, Chibi-Robo!"

"Good news! These two love flowers!"

EVE seemed to perk at that, "Really!?"

"Actually, we love all plants." Telly corrected, "But flowers do happen to be one of our favorites!"

Chibi was excited. All his own flower seeds were no doubt shriveled to dust by now, and so he was itching to spread life all across the barren wasteland. He had never seen so much bare dirt in his life, and it was bothering him.

"You look excited!" Leah laughed, setting Chibi down and pulling some seeds from the basket EVE was holding, "These are daisy seeds, and these are for rose bushes...there aren't many left thanks to Rose...lilac and lavender, poppies, violets, nightshade and some plum blossoms..." she came to one final seed packet, dropping the others on the dirt below her, "Honeysuckle...this one's my favorite..."

"Why do you like honeysuckle?" another EVE with yellow eyes asked.

"I don't know. I just love the smell, I guess."

"Yeah. I'm never taking scent sensors for granted." EVE agreed, "Come on, Wall-E. Let's go plant some."

"Okaay!"

Chibi watched everyone with curious eyes. He waved his arm in the air.

"Hm?" Leah turned her attention to him.

He pointed to the seeds in her hand.

"You want to plant these?" she asked, "Well...alright. Here ya go."

He took the packet with care and ripped it open. Inside were black seeds a little bigger than his foot.

"Are you going to plant all of them?"

Yes!

"Okay..." Leah seemed uncertain, "Be careful with those..."

He put all the seeds in his head chamber with one swift motion and brought out his spoon. He wasted no time digging holes and planting the seeds, making sure to space them evenly.

Why did he want to plant just honeysuckle?

He brushed the thought from his mind. He just wanted to make her happy, like when he worked for the Sandersons.

That was all.
