Pam was shocked when she found out that XR ran away but she wasn´t as shocked and scared as Nos.

Nos and XR were her favorite couple and practically her go to advice whether it was a big problem, having a nightmare or just needed a talk. She can't lose them!

"Maybe you´ll be able to find him with your future vision?" Pam hoped Nos would be able find him soon.

Nos smiled but then started to worry.

"XR is wonderful, sweet, spontaneous… why is he a cowboy!?"

It wasn't much help.

Pam knew she had to bring them back together somehow so it was up to her and Booster to find XR while Mira and Buzz were trying to calm down the energy vampire. After finding out her dad hasn't been a metalloid, it turns out that he was another form of ruler by the name of Chromium. As they were finally able to find XR he wasn't hurt.

He was ok.

Pam looked away to see her mom. "How do you feel?"

Kat smiled. "I'm ok. I knew your dad had a lot to hide and to be honest I was no better. I mean not every relationship is perfect. I knew he was not ready to tell me yet again we shared a lot of things."

"How about you…? You were sad and really hurt." She looked at XR.

XR smiled. "Well yeah I was sad and hurt but after talking it out with Kat, reading a few books and eating a few pizza slices, I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

XR frowned a bit. "I was thinking about what Nos had said and he was right. We only became Nox cause 'Titanium' told us WE were the answer. It's the first time I'm actually thinking about it and for once I'm thinking about everything." XR waved his hands. "I mean look at me, the first thing that happened after being made was getting crammed up with other XR copies and from then on I was with Nos the whole time." For a moment XR smile but falters and then looks up with excitement. "But now I'm here eating pizza and reading comic books!" XR held out the books. " I'm not sure if Nos likes it too but I don't have to know! I'm gonna go wherever the wind takes me! I don't want to be Nox, I want to be XR!"

Kat nodded, "can't argue with that."

"Me neither." Booster only wanted his friend to be happy.

But Pam, she was freaking out.

"But you gotta be with Nos! You two are my favorite couple! You two are like caramel and apple! I like each of them separately but I still like eating caramel apples. I'm sure Nos wants-"

"I don't want to know what Nos wants, the only future I want to see is my OWN future." XR grinned.

Now Pam was worried as XR looked through the comics for an idea.

"Maybe this is what XR needs."

Pam looks to her mom with worry. "Mom what if they never get back together?!" She whispered.

Kat smiled and patted her head. "It's going to be ok, Pam. XR still loves him, he just needs to clear his head and figure this out himself." Kat reassured her with a smile. "Just give it some time."

XR was looking through the comics until he came across one that made him excited!

"This is what I need!" XR grinned showing "Zub tales".

Pam hummed but saw the comic XR meant.

"Don't you mean this one?"

XR took a look and was in awe by the comic "Lonesome Lasso."

"This is even better!" XR grinned.

Kat grinned, too. "I think I can help you with that."

Pam gave in, maybe this is what XR needs. "I'll support XR 100% to help his emotional growth." Pam smiled.

Later

XR grinned in his human form that adorn a cowboy getup. (He's 5'4)

Pam was surprised at how XR looked almost identical to their fusion but internally frowned at the thought of missing Nox. Pam then realized what Nos meant about being a cowboy.

XR took in his surroundings and grinned but cleared his throat.

"Here I am in the open range." XR spoke in a raspy voice. He looked at the comic again and read out loud. "At least I got you...horsey?"

"Oh yeah! He always had his trusty steed!" Pam replied.

"Always willing to help my best bud." Booster gave a sheepish grin and morphed into a slightly chubby but awesome red stallion.

As they made their walk on a trail to possibly nowhere, Pam was the first to speak in her western accent.

"I hate to be the yellow belly but we don't have a map and we can get lost."

"I've been already lost. That's why I'm out here." XR stated and soon enough they came to a stop in front of the bushes.

"It seems like this is a dead end." Booster spoke.

XR jumped off and walked up to the bushes. "See? This is what I mean! What's behind these bushes?" XR shrugged. "This e're my chance!" The second he entered in, he screamed.

They ran to see XR holding on the edge, grinning.

"See! I didn't know this 'ere below me was a ravine!" XR pulled up and shoot out like a missile. He landed on his feet and grins.

"Come on! Lets go!"

They went all around and XR was excited and far more than he was before. He (almost) took down a bull but it chased them out but he can say he got out without needing any help. He took a stare down against a rattlesnake and won! It was a long and fun day. As they camped out XR began to play the guitar and sang a pretty great song about riding alone.

Pam could see XR was happy, she had never seen this side of him. She looked to see XR had his back to her.

"You know I was scared about losing you guys but I saw you were happy. I'm sorry for pushing you to go back being with Nos. This has been really fun." Pam was ready to fall asleep.

"No it wasn't." XR spoke.

"Huh..?"

"It wasn't!" XR was crying a bit and wipes it away. "What I said before, it's not true. I mean I loved it! Being out here I was happy!" XR looks down at his hands. "But every time I did something, I thought about him! How it would be more fun with him. Like his smiles was mine. I… I hate being without him." XR groaned and slid back, sliding to the ground. "This is lame! Here I am being my own self and I'm thinking about him! What he would like! What he would say! All the time! Turns out I can't go on by myself to the frontier needing nobody." XR crossed his arms.

"That's not lame! You lead us out here and you're still you. Take ´lonesome lasso´," Pam held out the comic from her bag. "He's called lonesome because he misses someone too.

He's still a root 'n tootin' cowboy making his trail through the west but he loves someone too."

XR looked up to the night sky and smiles. "Well as my choice I want to be with Nos." XR then slumped back to the ground. "But then that means I gotta ask him but I don't want it to feel like we're going back to how we´ve been! Like someone telling us to be together. I want this with Nos but I want this to be different, I want this to be only us."

Pam frowned only until she turned the pages.

She wanted to squeal but instead went a different way to approach her idea.

"How about this?" She showed him.

XR grabbed it and grinned. "You're a genius!"

Nos was sitting down worrying over XR. Not once did he look at his visions for help, he was too scared and worried over him especially when he was the one who said those awful things to him.

"I am an idiot." Nos stated.

"You didn't know." Mira spoke as she sat next to him.

"We couldn't tell you guys the truth." Buzz replied.

"But I hurt him because I thought what we had was not real! Now I lost the love of my life." Nos covered his face until he heard the door open and there was Pam. He rushed to her.

"Did you find XR?!" He asked.

Pam was solemn but nodded. "I did but… he wants to talk to you."

Nos floated out to see XR in his human form riding on a red horse. As much as he wished to gaze at him lovingly, he was too worried and relieved that he was alright.

"XR!" Nos swung over the rail and zoomed to XR but stopped as XR held his hand up for him.

"XR I am terribly sorry for what I said! I should not have said those awful things to you! That we did not matter anymore." Nos looked down. "I should not have pushed you away and ran off like that." Nos looked up. "I was wrong."

"No, You were right." XR spoke in a raspy voice and jumped off of Booster.

Nos swore he felt something broke inside of him.

XR patted Booster on his shoulder and he ran off. XR began his walk to him. "Someone told us we were the answer, I don't believe that anymore." He was only a foot away from him. "At least not til I hear it from you."

XR kneeled on one knee, surprising Nos as he turned back to his robotic self. He looked up to Nos as if it was the first time he had fallen in love with him.

"Nos-4-a2, will you marry me?"

Nos was turning deep blue. "Marry you?"

"Yeah! This way we'll be together, even when we're apart." XR smiled. "It will be our choice to be Nox."

Nos smiled. "Of course."

XR grinned and wrapped his arms around him! Both laughed as he swung him with joy.

As soon as they let go, Nos cupped his head.

"I have waited so long to kiss your handsome face!" Nos kissed him and XR blushed away, melting in Nos' kisses.

Pam and the other watched and smiled to see their favorite pair together. Pam smiles as she opens the last page to see lonesome lasso, marrying the love of his life.

'This gonna be awesome!"
