The Blue Bomber's First Victory

[Post Mission, Rock is one of the things needing repair. Fortunately, Dr. Light comes back to the base with him to take care of it personally, and it isn't too long before his arm is reattached and everything else is patched up.

Rock sighs, testing his newly repaired arm out.]

That was pretty wild... I'm glad everything turned out okay in the end. We cut it a bit close there.

[Though he's a bit worried. Dr. Wily had gotten away after all, and who knew what he was going to do next.]

[Rock's not the only robot who came back to the base. The other Light Numbers are also here and they're all gathered together in the hanger, talking to Rock, who's now out of armor. There's another robot with them too. One who looks like a young girl with a blond ponytail tied with a green bow.]

Don't worry, Roll, I'll keep an eye on your bro for you. [Ashe winks]

So, this is a meetup, then? Well, you know what you have to do in family meetups, right? [The hunter grins slyly]

[believesinhumanity]

[Roll's smile widens a bit.] Thank you, I'd really appreciate that.

[Rock chuckled again, rubbing his head.] Roll, you don't need to worry, you know.

[Though then he blinked at what Ashe said next.] Uh, no I don't think so... What do you do at a family meet up?

[Rock doesn't really have much in the way of worldly experience. Dr. Light doesn't have any living human family after all. Since the others are industrial robots on top of that.. yeah, they obviously don't get what Ashe is talking about either.]

[booty_chaser]

[Ashe chuckles at Rock's words, bopping him lightly on the head] Yes she does, dummy. That's how being a sister works. Am I right, Roll?

And you really don't know? [Ashe begins walking to something on the wall by the water deposit, all mysterious and solemn, her back to the group] Really? Well, well. Then... let me explain. When a family gets together, there's an important tradition that must be observed... [Ashe finishes rummaging, and looks at the group over her shoulder-

*-swish! SPLOOOF!*

-and suddenly a certain easily-riled scissor-headed robot finds a water balloon exploding on his face as Ashe turns around, mischief on her eyes and another half dozen readied balloons in her hands]

Family games! Ha! [And another volley of balloons is thrown! Dodge!]

[believesinhumanity]

[Roll poked Rock in the shoulder with a finger.] She's right. I can't exactly help it you know. Especially if you're going to continue going around fighting bad guys now.

[Rock just looks at both of them and then sighs.] Heh, sorry, Roll.

[Though then they're distracted when Ashe decides to answer Rock's question... by hitting Cut Man with a water balloon.

The wood harvesting robot yelps and sputters in surprise.]

Hey!

[Then she throws more balloons. Most of the Light Numbers are caught off guard and also get hit, but Rock, Roll, Ice Man and Elec Man manage to dodge or duck out of the way.

Cut Man, obviously, is not going to take this lying down, so he ducks out of the way of another balloon and lunges towards Ashe to try and claim a water balloon for himself.] Why you-! Hey! Gimme one of those things!

[booty_chaser]

[Cut Man's lunge is met with Ashe suddenly crouching under his outsctretched hand and slipping past - you have to give it to her, the girl is slippery]

Sure! Here's one. [Spinning on herself, Ashe pokes Cut Man in the back, smiles, and friendily puts one balloon on his hand as he's turning around to face her again]

[...which is, after a momentary beat, followed by her other hand slamming her remaining one into his face]

[believesinhumanity]

[Cut Man is momentarily surprised when he turns around and Ashe hands him a water balloon.] Uh, thanks?

[And then he gets another face full of water for his trouble.] Gak!

[When he recovers, he growls and throws his balloon at her.] Alright, then. Take this!

[Meanwhile, it seems that Roll has found the unfilled water balloons and is filling some more for her brothers.

Fire Man takes one with some bemusement.] Just watch my flames, alright?

[Elec Man is standing off to the side, still looking a bit reluctant.] Honestly, this seems more than a bit ridiculous. [He scoffs.]

[Bomb Man responds by throwing his balloon straight into his face.] Heh. Don't be a stick in the mud, sparky!
