Sparky Repairs, Wednesday

"I'm right behind you now Charlene..."

Teddy had a song stuck in his head as he opened the shop today.

"Damn it."

That would by why he was blaring any CD he could find to get that damn song out of his head. Emo and Goth were dancing happily to the music while Teddy attempted to study and not sing anymore.

Watching, waiting, oh so close...

Henry stopped by, peering around and looking for Teddy.

"Everytime I see you, I think of you..." Teddy sang quietly. "Damn it! Stupid song."

He looked up from his attempts at studying to find Henry. Well that's not awkward at all.

"Hey, Henry."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Every time I'm near you, I think of you...
But Henry doesn't know Stephen, so as much as it hurts, I'll stop right now.

Henry saw Teddy studying. "Oh, no, I didn't come at a poor time, did I?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy closed the book. "No, not at all," He assured Henry. "I was just looking over the book for my Friday class."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

"Which class do you have?" Henry asked.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Adventuring... something something," Teddy grinned sheepishly. "I only signed up because someone said the teacher was really cool."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry nods. "Well, at times the teacher can be just as important as the subject. I was a trifle skeptical of my Popular Culture class, but the teacher seems to be very open."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. For some odd reason Teddy kept forgetting that Henry clearly wasn't from this A. Time Period or B. Version of Earth.

He was special like that.

"So, when or where are you from exactly?"

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

"I'm from London in eighteen hundred and eighty-six," Henry answered. "It's a little odd, being in both a different time period and country, but I like it here. There's so much to learn."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy grinned. "Yeah, well if you have any questions about the modern stuff, feel free to ask."

And on cue, Emo pirouetted past in time to the music.

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry's attention was diverted. "Ummm..." Henry looked at Emo, and the expression on his face was a question.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"That would be one of the dingbots I told you about," Teddy said, sighing. He shouted after Emo's retreating figure, "Just because there's music doesn't mean you should dance!"

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

"That's one of the "living machines?"" Henry watched it go, staring in its direction even after it had moved out of his line of sight. "And you spoke to it. Can they understand you?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Yeah to both questions," Teddy said, also looking toward where Emo went. "I could get one over here if you want to get a look at one of them."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry grinned. "Really? I would like that very much."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"No problem," He said, looking over at Emo, who was still twirling, then deciding that Goth would be the better choice. "Goth?"

Another dingbot popped out from the back room, whistling slightly. Teddy picked him up and put him on the counter. "Henry meet Goth, Goth meet Henry."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Feeling beyond peculiar, Henry gave a little bow. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Goth."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Goth bowed back, chirping happily.

Teddy tried not to laugh at the display, it was just to weird and adorable not to.

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry watched it bow. He had somewhat less success keeping emotion at bay.
"How clever!" He cried.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Henry really shouldn't encourage the dingbot like that, they'd just end up with another Emo on their hands if he kept it up.

Goth struck a pose and chirped a vaguely heroic song.

Now Teddy was laughing, unable to hold back anymore.

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry was delighted, and also laughed. He turned to Teddy. "How were they created? Did the owner of the shop construct them?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, Agatha makes them," Teddy said, watching Goth continue posing like a tiny robotic model. "She tried to explain how they worked, but it went way over my head."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry shook his head in wonder. "That's incredible."

Agatha walked into the shop at this point, heading towards the back. She nodded to Teddy, who thankfully actually opened the shop today.

(just in case anyone wants to chat dingbots)
