Chibi watched for a moment while Giga-Robo played with Jenny. Her little 10-year-old hands were working with soft colored pencils, the scratching sound calming in the quiet room. Giga waited patiently while she worked, smiling up at him when she was finished. She put the pencil down and showed the drawing to Giga. He gestured for Chibi to come beside himself.

Chibi was definitely curious, so he wasted no time looking at the drawing.

"Do you like it?" Jenny asked sweetly.

The drawing was a portrait of Giga, softly and neatly shaded. What was cool about it was there were lights in his eyes, and the highlights were light blue while the shadows were deep pink. Giga had no color anywhere on his body, but Jenny managed to put so much of it into her picture.

Chibi was silent for just a moment longer before replying, Yes!

"I think it's a little sad that you guys aren't colorful, so I put lots of color here!"

Chibi could tell, Giga was swelling with pride. He pointed to the drawing, making as though to take it.

"You want it?" Jenny asked, "What are you gonna do with it?"

Giga scooped up the picture and stood, trudging to the cabinet nearby. He retrieved some tape from it and stuck it across the sides of the picture. He then took the paper to the most noticeable wall in the room (the wall behind the tv) and stuck it there. It was haphazardly done, but the drawing was now in a place it could be seen by all.

"Oh! Hold on!" Jenny grabbed a regular pencil from her stash and signed her name at the bottom of the paper, "There. Now it's perfect."

"Chibi-Robo?"

Chibi was pulled from his flashback rather abruptly by Leah's voice.

"Is something bothering you?"

"Yeah," Telly added, "you seem to be lost in thought."

Chibi looked around, remembering that he was in the neighborhood that was still under construction. He stood up straight, gesturing to himself and then raising his arms in the air.

"What...?" Telly suddenly jumped in realization, "Oh! You mean Giga-Robo!?"

Yes!

"Oh!"

"Tell me about Giga-Robo." Leah said, a hammer in one head.

"Well, Giga-Robo is an older model by Citrusoft, the same company that made Chibi-Robo." Telly explained while Leah kept building, "Chibi and Giga were very close. It makes sense that Chibi would be worried about him..." he gasped suddenly, "Oh my goodness! Is Giga-Robo still alive!?"

"Well, you two were." Leah said without thinking.

"We should look for him!" Telly was beginning to panic, "Who knows what happened to him!? Where on Earth could he be!?"

"Whoa! Telly!" Rose hurried to where they were, "Calm down! What's wrong!?"

Chibi kind of tuned out after that, just watching Rose try and calm his best friend.

"Chibi?"

He looked up at Leah.

"Would you feel better if we found your friend?"

Yes!

"Alright. I'll ask Eve about it, okay?"

There was that feeling again. Chibi found himself becoming extremely uncomfortable with it. He was unfamiliar with the feeling, and though it was a warm and cozy feeling, he didn't like being surprised. He didn't like being out of his element.

He remembered the way the stars reflected off of her, complimenting the orange color of her eyes.

He turned his head away as she got back to work. What did all of this mean?

"Everyone! Stop what you're doing!"

"What!?" Leah nearly dropped the drill she was holding, "Eve, what's going on!?"

"No time to explain! Just gather everyone up and follow me!" EVE seemed to be angry, but Leah could tell she was just afraid.

"Did you hear that, Chibi?" Leah grabbed him, letting her tool drop to the ground, "We should hurry. Eve doesn't mess around."

Chibi had noticed that. EVE had a very demanding air about her when she was serious. It was clear she was a leader.

Chibi felt his eyes widen. All the robots he had seen so far were simplistic in design, with hovers or treads or wheels. But these robots were vicious. They were bipedal, with large claws and glowing eyes. They even had mouths with long, sharp, steel teeth.

"OHMYGOSHLOOKATTHESIZEOFTHOSETHINGS!" Telly screamed.

EVE and Rio weren't fazed, meanwhile Rose and Aya were apprehensive. Leah was just scared. She didn't shoot a single bullet while carnage was going on around her, preferring to help out fallen allies. Most of the fighters were stewards, but the sisters were actively trying to get rid of the threat before it got out of hand.

And then, just as soon as they appeared, the monster-bots were reduced to scrap on the ground.

"Whew..." EVE sheathed her weapon, "That's the third attack this week..."

"How can you say that so casually!?" Telly cried, "That nearly gave me a heart attack!"

"Nah...this is just another Friday afternoon for me..." EVE waved off his concern, "Though, it is odd that the attacks are so frequent...Leah, can you run these guys to the lab for me? The rest of us will get back to work."

"Evah?" WALL-E tugged on her hand, "Leeeah?"

"You want to go with her?" EVE asked quizzically, "Oh, alright. I'll let you go, but hurry back!" she leaned close to him and a little spark passed between their eyes. He sighed as EVE got back to work along with the other robots.

Chibi was fascinated. He had never seen such a soft spark between two robots before. Was that the equivalent of a kiss?

Leah grabbed a hovering cart from the side of one unfinished building and set Chibi down on one of the the seats at the front. She then loaded a few of the dead machine killers onto the cart and mounted it herself, "We're going to stop by the Axiom again. Is that okay?"

Chibi settled himself in the metal seat, Yes!
