The dog arrow picked itself up out of Bonk’s hand. “Oh~! You found her~! Now, we just need a way to get to her~”

Beepsumu tried whispering to her. “Hey! Bowyetta, we’re over here!” Bowyetta didn’t seem to hear at first, so Beep tried again. “Bowyetta, it’s us! If you hear us, give us a signal or something.”

Bowyetta quickly perked up, her smile returning as she turned toward Beepp. She was about to call to her, but stopped herself when she saw Beep’s expression. She looked around in her hair-space, searching for something to signal the others with.

Beep’s face went from serious to shocked when she saw Bowyetta produce one of her dog arrows and load it into herself. She tried to stop her but-

Uh oh.

Despite all of Bowyetta’s paint, the arrow burst into flames as soon as it struck against her body. As it streaked towards the group, the dog-arrow shouted at the top of its voice. “Tallyho! Tallyho, Bowyetta, let’s burn the place down!” The arrow very nearly grazed Beepsumu’s head, almost giving away their location, and the room suddenly fell silent, save for the constant noises of machinery.

The dog arrow whispered to the group. “Now would be a good time to hide~ I do not know what the Bowyers will do if they see you~”

The Repairman let out a reflexive “yow!” as a searing arrow flew shouting above him.

Well then. So much for sneaking back out.

He turned to look at all the machines, as they all turned towards the one he recognized. Of course it couldn’t be that simple.

He seemed to realize something, as he motioned for the rest of the group to stay where they were.

“Meet ya back at the house,” he whispered.

And with that, he began moving more towards the outskirts of the crowd of robots.

He looked to his siren light, still blinking bright red. Without moving it, he opened a panel he wished he didn’t have to open again. Behind it was a knob, and several buttons.

He braced himself, and turned the dial all the way to the right.

WHEE-OOO! WHEE-OOO!

All the Bowyers jumped and turned to look at the Repairman. Without another word, he covered where his ears would be and fled the room, hoping they would give chase.
