:A Brief Intermission: Water-park

Let's take a brief intermission for some story time with Rabbit.

A long time ago when the robots were young....


“Alright guys.” Spine announced to the group, trying to keep Rabbit and Jon in line. “The humans spend a lot of time in this room, but they won't tell us whats in there. I walked past it a couple of times, but I didn't get a good look. Whatever is beyond this door, we have to stick together. Understood?” He pointed a finger at each of them.
“Roger!” Rabbit saluted, bouncing in place.
“Okey Dokey!” Jon mimicked Rabbit, trying to see over Spine.

Spine gave them a nod, then sharply turned and opened the door. The room wasn't very big. It was bright and white, filled with cold hard surfaces and spotlessly clean. Similar to that of their creators lab. They split up, investigating the different objects in the room. Spine focused on the large piece that seemed to be the center of focus in the room. Upon further investigation he discovered a hatch door. With a flick he threw it open and gazed at the large basin.

“This has water in it.” He announced. Rabbit zipped to his side and stared into the clear water. Jon leaping behind them but too short.

“Let me see! Let me see!” He hopped, pushing Rabbit out of the way enough to squeeze his head between the older bots.

“Hey it has a lever...” Rabbit pointed out. With an approving nod from Spine he pushed the lever down. The water inside the basin swirled clockwise and then was sucked down a mysterious vortex at the bottom. The Robots let out a collective 'ooooooooo' in awe.

“Do it again!” Jon clapped.

After the 4th time everyone was growing bored of it except Jon.

“Where do you think it goes?” Rabbit asked softly, now turning towards the other basin that sat beside it. This one was empty.

“Maybe its a vortex... like with Hatchworth.” Spine pondered as he rubbed his chin.

“Hey this is a really big one!” Jon cheered at his discovery, pulling back the large curtain. Giddy he stepped over the rim and clicked his heels on the bottom. Loving the sound it made against the hallow porcelain.
Rabbit was now focused on the smallest of the basins. This one had a metal spout on the top and some levers similar to the basin Spine was inspecting. With a soft turn the spout hissed and cold water began to pour out of it. Rabbit squealed and pointed to his discovery. “Look Spine! This one makes water... and it goes down a vortex too!”

Spine observed him intently, rubbing his chin. “Maybe the humans use this place to fuel themselves? But... I always thought they used glasses to drink from.”

“Maybe its a water-park!” Jon cheered as he turned towards the opposite wall. Another large spout with nobs. “Maybe this is a ride?” Curious he turned the nobs and gasped as more water poured out of the large faucet. “More water!”

“This is... very interesting...” Spine questioned.

“You should see where that vortex goes.” Rabbit pointed out, bending his neck and trying to force his head underneath the running faucet. “I think human's drink out of this. Its so cold! But... how do they get their squishy heads in here?”

Peter Walter I whistled as he walked casually down the hallway, a newspaper under his arm. He began to grow more concerned as he heard screaming coming from the bathroom. Was that... the robots? Raising an eyebrow he opened the door. The newspaper and his jaw dropped as he was shocked at what he saw.

Rabbit had now gotten his head stuck in the sink, furiously trying to turn the water off as it poured over his face. He gurgled to his brothers to try and turn it off.
Spine had one foot in the toilet and flushing it over and over. That quizzical look on his face as the water just swirled over his foot.
Jon was jumping up and down in the bathtub that was now overflowing with water.

“BOYS! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” Peter screamed after coming back from the shock. All three robots screamed in fright.
“I can ex-” Spine started trying to pull his foot out of the toilet. Instead he slipped in the huge puddle on the floor. Falling back he hit the wall and ripped the towel rod out of the wall and the shower curtain off its rings. The Rod flipped forward, whipping Rabbit in the back. Rabbit let out a watery gurgle and tried to rip his head of the sink, slipping himself he landed on his knees and couldn't seem to get his footing again. Jon was trying to jump out of the bathtub as Spine fell back. He got tangled in the ripped shower curtain and fell head over hells into Spine. The both of them tumbling to the floor.

Peter shook his head as he watched them. They now were all moaning in pain, soaking wet, in a tangled pile of arms and legs on the floor.

Jon groaned before dropping his head. “...this... water-park... is no fun...”
:A Brief Intermission: Water-park

This came to me while I was in the shower and I thought it was adorable! I just love seeing how the robots acted before they figured things out in the real world. The way kids do.
The preview image isn't mine. I found it somewhere on tumblr. Its part of a larger comic, but I can't find it again! If you know where its from please let me know! I do want to credit them.
I think I might do more intermissions. Maybe I should commission somebody for a preview pic to use.
