Backwater Nexus. Mall. Let's Rock and Ride!

[misslucysleeches]

Lucy approaches the mall with just a little trepidation, smoothing out her dress (bright green with yellow flowers on the skirt -- and it's just over knee length, so a certain little pitcher needn't worry if she's around tonight) and making sure her hair is pulled back neatly in its ponytail. Silver's mention of the Rock N Ride nights at the mall stuck with her even after her return to her own world. So, after a rather annoying day trying to make sure her passport was up-to-date, she's decided it's time to seek out some fun and see what else this Nexus has to offer. "Just hope they accept regular old American dollars," she mumbles, patting her purse by her side as she reaches the front entrance. (Nothing in her vast array of literature suggested they wouldn't, but discretion, valor, etc.)

"Hey, man." Dreadnought's voice is deep and smooth as he grins down at the human CJ. "What're you doin' comin' to a party without your lady?"

"Huh?" CJ's still dancing as he looks up. "What're you talkin' about? I don't gotta lady."

"That's not what Desti tol me." Dreadnought rumbles a chuckle. "She says you 'n a fine Mrrpt-Nyaah lady got a thing."

"Andey? She ain't my lady, man. She's my snuggle buddy." CJ laughs.

"Still ain't nice ta come out partyin' without 'er." Dreadnought tosses him a bracelet. "Gowan 'n get 'er."

"I don't know..."

"Don't make me hurt you."

"As if." CJ vanishes in flash and a burst of cheerful laughter.

"Totally his lady," opines Rap after the human boy's vanished. "Wait'll you see how she looks at 'im."

"How d'you know how she looks at 'im?" Dreadnought snorts at the smaller mech.

"Oppy tol' me." Rap displays his own version of the infectious chuckle that all the brothers seem to share.

Lucy listens to the conversation with some interest. She's heard variations of this theme from her wholly-human friends back home -- people denying they're in relationships, other people pointing out what they think is obvious signs of a relationship, the back-and-forth about labels. . .seems like that's something that crosses bot/human lines, at least in this case. Well, she guesses they'll see for sure once the human CJ comes back with his lady/snuggle buddy/however you want to classify her. (And hey, if they are just snuggle buddies, that's fine by her. She's been a snuggle buddy herself in the past.)
