Set After: Let's Bring on the Trouble! (Pluto/Quickman) And Tiny Friend? (Terra/Starman.EXE
It had been several days after Pluto and Quick's prank on Bubble (who would be cleaning that jello out for weeks) And in that time he had mostly just...taken naps. What? A Guy had to make up for the thirteen he didn't sleep that day of the prank. Even if he was a bot. But besides napping, he had also been working on his nail art, and possibly working on canvas art on the side, gotta be good at the big to be good at the small for him. All of this was though, pretty lonely, and so Pluto, after wo days and his civvies of a pair of , finally left his room for something other than e-tanks. When he bumped into a rather towering figure, a familiar towering figure, Pluto began to wish he had just stayed in his room. "Sir! I haven't seen you in awhile!"
The time he had spent with the little Star had been wonderful, much better than time he could have spent with the other earth bots, or even the dragon (though he did think coming to a truce with the taller robot would be in his best interest) And now, now he needed to put aside the temporary pleasure, and focus on his plans. Which was why he was now out and about the tower, seeking out his loyal subordinant Pluto. Who, oomph! Had bumped into him. The cat apologized to him, and Terra merely smiled. "It's alright, I was looking for you anyway. Accompany to somewhere more private?"
"Sure sir." Pluto agreed, though he would very much not like to do that. He hadn't really wanted to be around his commander, his own general, as of late, because he had heard rumors, whispers that Terra had been less than stellar of an ally, and Pluto did not want to believe that of his general, but now, standing here with the taller bot smiling at hm, the cat-bot felt assured. They were wrong, and he could see it. He followed Terra to his room, and frowned. It was sparse, but he supposed he could chalk that up to Terra not liking much decorations, he had a TV and Radio though. As he finished inspecting the room, he didn't notice Terra grab his shoulder with some force, guiding him to sit on the bed. When it happened he looked up at the other, confused at the act and at the serious look that now adorned his generals face. "Is something the matter sir?"
Once in his room, he gave the other time to adjust, then guided him to sit. Looking down at his subordinate (good, by adding a sense of increased height, he knew he could easily keep the others attention, and also control of the situation) "Nothing is wrong, but we need to discuss a few things, namely, the location of the others and a plan of strategy. I noticed you were spending time with the rid---the orange bot, and that's a good start to infiltraion, but with that one you won't get very far. Now, the Fish woman or the,"he shudered lightly, disgusted and annoyed, "junkheap, would be muh more preferrable." He looked down to Pluto, noticing the others face looked horrified. "Your thoughts?"
W-was he serious!? Was Terra for real!? He tried to calm himself, to not look as angry as he felt. Because dammit, Quick was his friend Splashwoman and Protowoman were cute, but still robots he respected. He felt his tail flick, and knew the othe rmight have seen. "My thoughts? My thoughts? Terra! That's mad! Have you seen what they can do!? What they do!? You realize they have this whole city under siege right!? With them your as close as you can be, but you'd be even closer! And you want to betray them!? With a party of two, we'd be fools, because I doubt we'd find the others, and even then. " He huffed. "And also, I respect the three of them, all of them really," A mischevous look was thrown Terra's way. "They're all just fun to tease! The blushes General makes are--HEY!" He yowled in surprise as Terra pulled him up off the bed roughly, to be held in the air at his height. And maybe he should have believed the others, because the look in the other robots eyes was cold, and maybe he should have fought back, because then Terra shook him roughly.
He's seriously talking to him like this, talking as if he weren't simply a lesser companion. Without a word he grabbed Pluto, pulling him up and shaking him. Once sure the othe rcodn't fight due to lagging senses(dizzy?), he pulled Pluto much closer to his face, muzzle to muzzle. "You think yourself equal to the? To me? You are above them and below me, remember that. And we will recover the others, and Sunstar. " He became sad, but only for a moment. Terra shoved the other away. He would be showing this wayward child manners.
