Dennis sat on his motorbike, his arms crossed over its handlebars and his head resting on his arms. He glanced across at Jackie, who was sitting on her own motorcycle, looking through binoculars down the hill at the facility they were staking out.

After half an hour or so of waiting outside in the cold, Dennis tried to initiate a conversation: "So you're a-."

"Shush," Jackie snapped immediately.

A pause followed this.

Guess that's the end of THAT conversation, Dennis thought sardonically.

"You know, AA's division ain't that bad," Dennis said, attempting humour. "Just gotta deal with shaking Chihuahuas and-."

"Are you incapable of taking anything seriously?" snapped Jackie. "Shut up!"

Dennis shut his mouth, glancing around. "Look, Rodney ain't gonna show," he said, rubbing his arms against the cold. "I know him. He's been my nemesis for years. If he even suspects he's being watched, he stays at home."

"Nevertheless, we cannot leave until our mission is complete," Jackie said sternly. "Either until Rodney turns up or until it comes to sunrise without him turning up."

Dennis sighed. "Great. Who exactly is taking over after us?"

"Perry the Platypus."

Dennis's eyes widened. "Okay, Rodney. If you can hear me, I'm gonna need you to show up tonight. TONIGHT, do you understand?"

"He can't hear you," Jackie said, rather unnecessarily.

Dennis looked at her, unamused. "Got any more useful comments, or are you gonna stay quiet?"

"You're the one who's talking to a guy who isn't even here," Jackie retorted. "And can't hear you."

Dennis growled but fell silent. After ten minutes more, Jackie sat up straighter. "He's here. Let's go."

She tossed the binoculars to Dennis, who looked through them to confirm Jackie's statement, and revved her engine. Before Dennis could put the binoculars away, she had already begun roaring down the hill on her motorbike. Cursing, Dennis sprung his engine to life and followed her.

The two rabbits flew up the ramp and jumped off their bikes at the peak of their arc, landing on the roof of the six-storey facility.

"This is different to anything I'm used to," Dennis confessed, as Jackie got out her laser cutter and began slicing a hole in the roof.

Jackie ignored him and finished the hole in the roof, taking out the round bit of metal and discarding it to one side.

Dennis rolled his eyes. "I'm guessing you've done this before?"

Jackie slid into the hole. Before disappearing, she said, "Never."

Dennis watched as she landed on the floor and pressed herself up against the wall. He slid in after her and landed right in front of an army guard. Before the guard could react properly, Dennis had already floored him.

Jackie suddenly grabbed his ear and yanked painfully. "Do you want to wake up the entire facility?!" she hissed crossly.

"Jackie, look out!" Dennis yelled suddenly, spotting a guard with a laser gun behind her.

He shoved her out the way.

Seconds later, pain exploded through his chest, spreading to his limbs. He fell backwards, crying in pain. Jackie leapt up and delivered the guard an uppercut, knocking him out. She took the gun from him and rushed over to Dennis. "Are you okay?" she asked worriedly.

Dennis groaned in reply.

Jackie inspected the wound. He would live, but that shot had been meant for her. If it had hit her in the back, she probably wouldn't have survived.

"Looks like you ARE capable of taking things seriously after all," she quipped. "Thank you."

"Pretty…girl like you…is worth it…" Dennis croaked.

Jackie half-smiled. "Can you stand?"

"Better: I can walk."

Jackie put her arm around Dennis's waist and helped him stand up, holding the gun in her right hand. Dennis put both of his arms around her neck, leaning on her for support. "Sorry to be such a pain," he said, grinning weakly.

"You ARE a pain, but you look like you're IN more pain at the moment. Now come on, let's get that memory stick and get out of here."

They got to the server room easily and retrieved the memory stick just as easily. Unfortunately, their luck ran out as they were heading down the corridor from the server room; a guard android found them.

It was twice the size of a normal adult, which meant it was eight times the size of the two small rabbits. It had two cannons for arms, and it was emitting flames out of its metal mouth.

"Crap," Jackie said, staring up at it and wishing she hadn't left the laser gun back in the server room.

"Took the word right out of my mouth," Dennis said, also staring up at it. "Okay, we gotta beat this together."

"I agree."

Jackie leapt up and punched the android's leg, not making a dent. She swore again and leapt to the side to avoid being crushed by its foot. She kicked its fist away as it swung at her, then backflipped to avoid another strike. She glanced back at Dennis, who was watching her in awe. "For a guy who said "let's do this together", you're not showing a lot of togetherness," she said irritably.

Dennis blinked, shaking himself back to reality. He ran forwards and slid under the android's legs as it swung at him, causing it to hit the ground.

"Seen a weakness?" he called.

Jackie shook her head. "Not so far, but I'm keeping my eye out."

Dennis charged at the robot and attempted to hit its chest, but it swiped him aside with its heavy arm. He flew into the window, smashing it, and would have fallen six storeys to his probably death had Jackie not reacted quickly enough to lunge and grab his paw. Her hand grabbed a shard of the window that was still attached. It was the only handhold she could find, though it cut her hand quite painfully. She swung Dennis up, who then helped Jackie up, cutting her leg on the same shard of glass as he did. She winced, holding her leg with her bloodied hand. "What are we going to do?" she asked Dennis quietly. "I don't know if I'll even be able to walk, let alone fight that thing."

"We just need a way out," Dennis replied. "We've got what we came for. All we need to do is-."

All of a sudden, the android appeared and grabbed the two rabbits. It stuffed them into a weird device that looked suspiciously like a rocket, which then began emitting noises that sounded worryingly like a rocket taking off. Then it started shaking.

"What the hell is this?!" Dennis snapped.

"Welcome, Dennis the Rabbit!" came Rodney's voice in the pod. "I made this rocket especially for you."

"This is a rocket?" Dennis scoffed. "What, you getting old?"

"My age is none of your concern." Rodney sounded displeased. "But what IS your concern is the fact that this rocket is going to blast you and your little girlfriend all the way to Texas and then blow up!"

"I'm not his girlfriend," Jackie groaned, still clutching her leg. It and her hand were now almost entirely red, which was a source of concern for both her and Dennis.

"Whatever you are, you're going to get blown up together, so get comfy!"

Dennis placed his paw on Jackie's, hearing the fire of a rocket launch starting up.

A few seconds later, the rocket launched.
