“Waaah!” Having the Repairman on her head was starting to make
Bowyetta too top-heavy. Though she tried to keep her balance, she
stumbled over backwards, crashing into a pile of scraps on the way. He
managed to get them both out of harm’s way, but not without causing some
injuries to her back.

“W-why you having done that?!” Bowyetta
tried to pick herself back up, but her head was much heavier than she
was used to. “Be getting off of Bowyetta right now!” She carefully tried
to reach into her hair for something to get the Repairman off with, but
yelped as soon as her hand touched the odd mixture of synthetic hair
and ink that now covered her head.

The shadow took notice of this. “What
are you doing?! Get off her right now! You’re ruining her with your
goo! …No! You’re trying to take my perfect body from me, aren’t you?!” Two more arms sprouted from the shadow’s “back”, and she prepared to crush the pair.

The jolt caused the tongue depressor to snap in two, with one half on the floor and the other stuck between Bowyetta and Repairman. Clearly he would need something stronger.

“Are you okay?” he asked, as he pulled out a large metal spoon and jammed it between them. “Sorry ‘bout that, that thing was gonna attack!”

He wiggled the spoon back and forth, trying to get himself free. However, he soon dropped the spoon as he saw the creature grow a pair of arms.

After the clatter, there was a moment of silence as the Repairman dug through his hammerspace, desperately feeling for something to help. Seeing that their time was running out, he pulled out something at random…

“…A pogo stick?” he sighed, annoyed. This wouldn’t have been his first choice, especially since he was stuck on someone who’d be quite unwilling to go with this, but it would have to do.

He slammed the bottom part of it on the ground, and about a second later the two of them were sent flying through the air.
