Sno Way I'm Missing This (Sno/Flash Private)

A teal green body clashed with the dark green bench it was stationed on, sat in front of the of the city centre's brilliant fountain on an icy day. A dusting of snow coated his rectangular head like an old man's hair... but he didn't really care how old it made him look. Hair was hair and a little dusting of white around his head didn't seem like too bad of a thing... he supposed it must look festive, and seeing that he couldn't find a Santa hat to fit his head this would have to do. He supposed this is what one would call... frosted tips.

The droid checked his messages for the twentieth time that day, making sure his invitation had gone through and that the reply was still there... the fact that it had warmed the coils of his body. He tried to ignore his nerves, or lack there of... having functioning emotions as a machine was rather weird. A lot of phrases didn't seem to work; blood boiling and nerve-ous itself for starters. He figured he should make some of his own like; "That Really Dims My Backlight" or "Charge Convulsing"

...His attempt to distract himself with wordplay didn't seem to work, he was soon back to drumming his metal fingertips against his legs.


Flash waited in the light snowfall, around two inches of the frozen matter covered everything that had been left uncovered. He of course wore his hoody because it was cold... despite him not being able to feel it... he just felt it was polite not to rub that kind of thing in people's faces. He didn't want to offend any fleshy ones.

Flash, having pulled a comic from beneath a panel in his chest to distract himself. He was around page thirteen when he heard a melodic voice calling out to him from across the city center. He raised his head, focusing his sensors;


The layer of white snow atop Flash's head melted the instant he got an optic-full of Sno. She looked... gah... she... gah...err...um... needless to say; words could not be found to describe how Sno looked. But Flash most certainly thought she looked awesome.

The large robot didn't even notice the fox on the girl's shoulder, far too enamoured by how the outfit highlighted both his fellow android's beauty, glamour and petite build as well as her cuteness... somehow all of these things simultaneously. Th-Then again he wasn't quite sure what beauty and cute were, d-definitions were quite vague when it came to such things, the idea of the eye of the beholder, but Sno was certainly both and even more than he could think.


He took the android's hand, almost shaking as he did, and attempted to let her pull him up... only to remember he was a massive, top heavy, robot and end up pulling his best freind atop him... in a slightly awkward position.


The droid gently raised himself, setting the cute-bot in front of him (along with her pet) through the use of a gentle bear-hug style placing.

Sno was pulled into the larger android and her fox jumped from her to the larger android and rested on his shoulder. As Sno read his screen she said rather embarrassed herself "N-no it is quite alright.. It was my fault.. I am sorry.. Anyway let's go.. Who are you going to get gifts for?" As Sno was set back on the ground she held the larger android's extended arm while walking towards the shops while saying "Come on let's get this thing started! I bet there are going to be a lot of cool things to do here! Plus the Sno makes this place look better!" Sno then began humming something random since she didn't really have a song to pick since there were too many in her mind. Sno then said "Hmmm let's see I plan to get something for all of my friends at Syne so how many people would that be?.. Well I know Gawain and Severa. Then there is you Flash.. Oh! Flash what do you like anyway?"

The android kept ahold of his best friend's hand; every so often checking on it to be sure he wasn't crushing it or she wanted him to let go. Out of fear and shyness mostly; didn't want to scare off his friend by seeming forceful let alone crush her hand. He also couldn't help but feel the tiniest bit intimidated by the animal on his shoulder... was she keeping tabs on him? He couldn't quite get a read on her, seemed to just have paw-sed on his shoulders..


The droid kept three sets of optics active, one on the path ahead of the; to be sure the robotic convoy wasn't going to crush a fleshy one. The second set was on the fox on his shoulder, seeing if she had any opinions on the shops they were passing. The third, and most active, set was constantly switching between Sno's face and her hand.

Sno laughed at the puns that were being made until she heard names of other people. A look of sadness came over her face as she said rather quietly "R-right Quartzella and Lloyd.. And that one man who seemed to talk to himself." Sno was remembering a memory of a time when she shorted out and attack her class mates. Sno then read her friend's screen and said "Hmmmm is there anything I want?... Well I guess I just want you and everyone else to be happy.. I am not sure if there is anything else I desire.. As for the shops around here I would say we just look around and find things we think others would like." Sno was looking up and down the streets before spotting a jewelry shop. In the window she saw a beautiful snowflake necklace as she stared at it for awhile before walking on saying "Flash how about we look at everything before deciding on what to get for our friends.. Does that sound like a good plan?"

The Necklace:

Flash lightly squeezed her hand, noticing less than positive emotions. Was she still upset about that time? It was almost a year ago, what happened wasn't her fault at all. Every piece of machinery had it's faults, be it her apparent weakness to water or his lack of a mouth... or hair... or a human looking body. The droid perked up somewhat though at hearing she wanted him to be happy however.



The droid caught site of a mall's entrance and turned to the animal on his shoulder;

Sno giggled at the pun that the larger android had made as they kept walking until her fox jumped on to her head. Sno took the fox off her head and the fox looked over to mall entrance and Sno made her way over to it. She stopped when she noticed a sign that said No pets allowed. Sno wasn't sure what to do until she got a rather crazy idea. Sno looked at her robotic friend and then at the fox then she said "Flash hold still for a minute." Sno then opened up the larger android's panel in his chest and put the little fox in it then closed it. Then she said to both of them "Sorry I have to do this.. I just couldn't stand the thought of leaving Haunani out here alone." The fox didn't seem all too happy about being put into a small dark compartment as it began to paw on the panel.

Flash quickly remembered that, unlike a human, his vital organs were not spaced around his body so well but a majority stored in the very chest compartment a Fox was struggling in. Keeping her in there would probably kill them both. He stopped Sno with a light tug at her wrist.


The larger droid quickly turned, it took a decent portion of his strength but he managed to pull the front of his screen face off; swinging like the door on a cupboard. He then opened his chest panel, letting the for scarper off into his arms before raising it to his head and gently placing her in there. It was fortunate that, outside of the machinery to work his wording, which was small and directly connected to the screen, it was almost akin to a storage compartment and was far bigger than his chest.

Sure, the fox probably wouldn't be happy, but it would do for now. He re-secured his face-plate, made sure his insides were in check, and retook Sno's hand.

Sno waited for her friend although she was curious as to what he was doing when he turned around. Sno then thought of something as she said "Hey.. Let's split up for a second okay? We will meet up together in a seconds" Without waiting for a response Sno took off and and began looking around. Sno was wanting to get her friend a present but couldn't have him around when she got it otherwise that would ruin the surprise. Sno found a book store in the mall and she thought Well Flash does like comics so maybe I can get him a comic?... Oh but which ones has he already read?.. Maybe I shouldn't have gone off on my own... He is probably worried about me... Should I go back?... No! I can look around here and see their selection of comics then question him about the ones in the store and come back later... That seems like the best plan. Sno then entered the store and went to see their selection of comic books.

Flash could feel the fox finally settling in his head, he gently tapped the side of it in an attempt to sooth it.


The droid awkwardly twiddled his thumbs, scanning the nearby shops. Dresses, perfumes... none of this made much sense to him. Perhaps it would be easiest to get most everyone, besides Sno of course, hunting manuals of some sort? That'd appeal to their interests for certain... but was it a bit strange to get them all the same gift? Well... long as they were different manuals, perhaps that would be fine? Those are cheep to so it's ideal and they won't feel too bad if they got me nothing ^^
