Superbugs

Time off

Third person P.O.V

Mr Matt looked closely at Frobo as he examined him.

"I say, even for a robot, he looks rather very happy. You two must be taking really good care of him." he said as Frobo giggled at the examination.

"We always try our best! Isn't that right, little guy?" Anne affectionately asked.

Frobo eyes lit up and he went over to us, hugging our legs.

"Yes! I love them and they love me too! They're the best!" he told gleefully.

"He can be troublesome at times." Marcy murmured sternly, but her eyes shining with fondness.

"From what Frobo told me, he loves both of you very much. If you don't mind, I'd like him to stay here for a little longer. I'm sure getting him off your hands for awhile would do you some good. You both seem to enjoy spending time with each other."
Mr Matt offered, an almost unreadable hint of teasing in his voice at the last part.

"That would be great!
Thanks Mr Matt!" they both thanked.

"Alright buddy, your gonna have to behave and listen to Mr Matt while we're gone. Can you do that?" Anne gently asked.

"You can count on me! I'll miss you!"
Frobo told, looking up at them.

"We'll miss you too." Anne smiled.

"Bye Mom, bye Mama! I love you!"
Frobo waved as they started walking away.

"Bye Frobo! We love you too!"
they both said, giving their goodbyes.

And with that out of the way, the two girls left the school and Frobo in Mr Matt's care.

"Well, I guess we have some free time now. So, do you want to hangout?" Anne asked very eagerly.

It had been quite awhile since they've spent some alone time with each other since Frobo was always usually there with them.

"J-just the two of us?" Marcy stuttered.

Her developing feelings were always still very present. Just being around her friend seemed to bump up her nerves.

Anne raised an eyebrow at Marcy's surprisingly shy and nervous behaviour.

"Yeah, just the two of us. We hangout together all the time. Why is this any different?"

"I-it's not, it's just um..." she said heavily blushing.

"Marbles are you sick or something? Your face is red." Anne asked in concern, stepping a little closer towards her.

Perhaps it was too close as Marcy hurriedly took a step back.

"Y-yup, I just, err, need to go do something else, bye!" she quickly stuttered before leaving.

Anne just stood there, dumfounded and hurt by her sudden departure.

"O-okay then.."

With her heart pounding, Marcy ran all the way to the Central Park. She usually went there to calm herself down when she was feeling tense. At this time, there wasn't anyone else nearby.

She sighed and sat down on a bench.

"Why did I say that? It's like I couldn't even talk to her anymore! I've never felt this way towards a girl before! Why can't this feeling just leave me alone!" she thought desperately.

Slowly but surely, Marcy was able to calm down and regain her cool. But her sudden feelings had caught the attention of a certain someone in her bracelet.
