Snivley saw the whole battle from his unbelievably large chair in the Robotroplis control room, including the onrushing lightning bolt that was the last thing Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts saw. The monitors they used to occupy are just white noise now.

"Good Riddance," Snively said, shutting them off. Then he turns to a panel with a variety of levers and buttons labeled "Roboticizer Override." He strums his fingers on it for a while.

"What am I going to do with you, Mr. Crockett?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Packbell took out whatever was the garbage man--I think it was a bear- with a head shot and rummaged through the trash collectibles, throwing out oil-soaked limbs of metal until he got to three CPU cards, one for each of the three bots destroyed by Davey's super power shot. The three chips were barely functional, with a red LCD light flashing on and off showing that it still has a glimmer of life back in it.

"What am I going to do with you, Mr. Crockett?"

When Davey gave Sonia the gift package of perfume, the girl hedgehog thought that it was the nicest thing that ever happened to her. But then she got close and smelled android stench. She growled in rage, "What am I going to do with you, Mr. Crockett?"

"Yes, Honey," Davey said with a fake whine. "I had to fight with that son of a bot, but I won, I'll tell you."

"Dammit!" She pounds on Davey's roboticized part of his breast. "Dammit-Dammit-Dammit!!! Why, you psycho fox?! He could have killed you!! Why?!?"

"He didn't kill me, Suni, as you can see. Packbell must've burned you badly, didn't he?"

"You don't know the half of it," Sonia collapses in tears into that chest. Her mind races back.

Brent.

Brent and me, hiking to Knothole.

Brent and I being ambushed by Packbell.

Brent taking the fatal blow ment for me.

Brent's last 'I love you'.

Brent's last 'good-bye'.

Brent's lifeless hand...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That bastard's already killed every one of my loves, except you. I don't want him to take you away too, Daviiie."

As Sonia sobs, Davey's mind flashes to a file he has in his RAM on her. It concerns a deceased squirrel named Brent Packbell. He was as close to Suni as Davey is now, and the two were scheduled to be engaged when they were journeying to Knothole to join Princess Sally's Freedom Fighters. Yet, sadly, that same android Davey just stared down attacked the couple en route, and Brent was killed in the battle.

Suni just seemed to wilt afterward. She was very anti-social during that time. Even Lutherain had trouble reaching her, and he's a telepath. It was not before this cyborg human that followed Sally home, who was destined to become the tall orange fox who is Davey Crockett, when Boometia Sonia Madilyn Hedgehog allowed her heart to trust anyone again. "I don't know what you did to her but I can greatly appreciate it, David," Princess Sally once said on the subject. "There seems to be a weight that lifts when she's around you."

Davey held his temperamental girlfriend tenderly and whispered into her ear. "I was almost killed by somebody worse than Packbell in my world, and I lived to tell about it. What makes you think that any bot, borg, or droid with a gun and an attitude can finish me off?"

"D-David, I must know, d-do you like me?"

"Of, course I like you, Sonia."

"No, not like that. I m-m-mean . . . do you really . . . like me?"

"Oh," Davey pondered. His mind goes back to the times that he tried to get a girlfriend, but due to his crappy social status on Earth, no one of the fairer sex wanted to be near him. All the good ones were taken by the handsome, the strong, the lucky. All that was left for him was the wallflowers and the weirdos. Like the one who wanted him for sex and sex alone; when he said that sex before marriage was just not his thing, she dumped him and cried 'rape' on him. He's sell his soul to the devil for a girl to say what Suni just said, honestly and without manipulation. Fortunately for him, he had a discount in the offer; his soul didn't need to be on the bargaining table--just his left arm, and the dealer was a squirrel. "Sonia, my dear. I have never had a girlfriend in seven years. Trust me on this: It's love. I might be a little too quick on this--"

Suni looked into his eyes and began to sparkle--all over her body. The stardust began to surround him too, lifting them up in the air. A 'poof,' and then, Sonia was dressed up as a medieval princess, cone hat and all. Davey's clothes were changed too, into something that resembled what King Acorn wore.

"The Stardusrince," Sonia said, the word flowing like the water off a water fall."It means 'Love Dance'. You, Davey Crockett, courier of the Royal House of Acorn, have won my heart. I, Commadress Wizard Boometia Sonia Madylin of the Regal House of Hedgehog, love you with all my heart, soul, and body." Neither one could stand the tention at the moment. Davey brought Suni up with lighting speed and pressed his mouth against hers. His warm lips encased her own, filling her being with joy and excitement. Never have either of them kissed like this! Only pure love could house such a passionate embrace. Energy flowed from this kiss, soft and tender. Oh, how they wish to let all of Mobius melt away just for the two lovebirds to stay like this forever, in each others arms and thoughts...Despite the fact that Sally entered the scene to ask for Davey again. She had the manners to wait for the lovebirds to pry themselves off each other this time. Besides, Davey flashed "Can it wait, Sal?" on his holographic monitor.
