Beep’s eyes widened slightly when the arrow said Vinny was having trouble. She knew exactly what he meant. She quickly finished with the arrow she was working on, then said “E-excuse me. I have to do something.” She then disappeared into the kitchen.

The dog arrow took this opportunity to speak again. “Well, take all the time you need. They’re not going to die from being smashed, mind you. They’ll wake up as soon as they’re back into shape.” He remembered the bungee cord on his head. “Oh yes, Mr. Sir! We were able to make a new string for Bowyetta. Thanks to you she’s doing just fine, aside from the fact that she won’t eat right now… Anyway, Vinny told me you wanted this back.”

A minute or so later, Beepsumu appeared from the kitchen holding some sort of tray and hurried upstairs.

“Oh, good,” the Repairman replied, somewhat relieved. He still didn’t believe in death, but at least the arrows didn’t have to respawn or whatever.

Still, as he was just finishing up with the first one, he started to wonder if he could speed this up at all…

“Hmm? Oh, thank you.” he nodded, taking the cord back. He sent the arrow he just fixed on its way and picked up the next one. Then Beepsumu caught his eye as she went upstairs.

“Um,” he said, trying to get the attention of the arrow he just patched up, “could you go and tell Bowyetta you’re awake?”
