How about a nice Holiday scene between Bob and Dot where they make amends? Cheers!
(Note: The celebration will he called a holiday party as I doubt that Mainframe would have the same idea of Christmas as we would. For this minute = day)
At the diner, everyone was setting up for a Holiday party.
“Have they been like this all minute?” AndrAIa asked Matrix. He followed her gaze to where Bob and Dot were setting up, occasionally making eye contact, then looking away quickly.
“Yeah, ever since what happened with Megabyte, they’ve been acting like this.”
I shouldn’t be mad at her. Bob mentally scolded himself. A part of him held on to the feelings of betrayal over the fact that Dot almost married someone just because he looked similar to the way he used to. He leaned against the wall and sighed.
“Hey, Enzo?” Bob asked.
“What’s up?” Enzo asked.
“If Dot asks, just tell her I’m getting some energy shakes, I think it’s about time for a break.” He said.
“Sure thing.” Enzo agreed.
Dot noticed when Bob left and sighed. She thought.
“Well…” Mouse prompted. Dot looked at Mouse.
“Well what?” Dot asked, busying herself with the decorations.
“Don’t you think that maybe you should follow him?” Mouse questioned. Dot let out a sad laugh at that.
“He’s been avoiding me for minutes; the only reason he’s still here is that he’s friends with all of you guys.” She then corrected.
“Which clearly explains why he looked at you almost a hundred times, just today.” Mouse teased. Dot looked away. Mouse sighed.
“Just talk to him.” Mouse said. “Now, I better go make sure Ray’s not trying to eat all the deserts… again.” With that, she left.
A bit after the talk, Bob walked in with some energy shakes for everyone. Matrix smiled to himself, seeing his cue.
“I can help take some.” He offered. He took all save for two. One of the two on the table was Bob’s favorite kind and the other was Dot’s favorite kind. Bob sighed, realizing what Matrix was getting at. He picked up the two shakes and walked over to Dot.
“I thought we could all use an energy shake since we were putting a lot of effort into setting up.” He offered, handing one to her.
“Thanks.” Dot said, taking the shake. She looked away shyly.
“Did I miss anything?” He asked.
“Well, Ray’s been trying to sneak the deserts.” Dot said. “Mouse is on it though.”
“Well, sounds like Ray could use a teammate.” Bob joked. He went to walk away, hoping he could use the joke as a way to escape the awkwardness.
“Wait.” Dot said. She grabbed his arm to stop him. Bob laughed. Dot let out a slight chuckle as well.
“Actually, my car has been making a weird noise, would you mind helping me fix it?” Bob asked. Dot hesitated.
“Go, we will be able to take care of things from here.” Cecil said, ushering her and Bob out.
“Do you think they’re trying to tell us something?” Bob asked, thinking of his friends’ strange behavior.
“Yes, and it’s about time we listened to them.” Dot said. She then let out a sigh; “I’m sorry.” She finally said. Bob looked away.
“I understand why you did it; I was eventually thinking poorly of myself as the copy.” He admitted, “The truth is; I know why you chose him and I knew I could never make you happy, that’s why I tried to separate from Glitch.” He admitted. Dot held his hand, Bob didn’t move.
“I… I failed you; you could have been deleted because of me.” She said, tears flowing down her face.
“But I wasn’t.” Bob said, wiping her tears. “It will be hard to get over and I know things will take time, but maybe things can get back to the way it was?” He asked. Dot shook her head.
“No, I don’t think so, but maybe that’s the point. I was so desperate for things the way to be as they were before, I gave up on who was really important to me. I mean…” She trailed off. “We’re different, but I think we can still be together….” I’m never like this. She scolded herself.
“I couldn’t have said it better myself.” Bob said, smiling at her, “A new beginning for us then.” Dot nodded.
