Bob was sitting in a corner, idly carving pictures of Sandra in the floor.

[That decision might come back to bite Bob in the ass someday. >.>]

He was trying to formulate the perfect plan. No silly, not for battle. He needed a plan to win Sandra over. It wasn't coming through, though, and his head was pretty loud with thoughts that would never work.

[Heh. "Being himself" in a sense won't be a great plan, since Bob's supposed to be a serial killer of sorts before Frozen. :P]

Zac was still pondering the descision, when a scratching noise reached his ears. He looked back at Bob with fury in his eyes.

"BOB, STOP THAT INFERNAL NOISE!"

["MY MIND HAS ENOUGH TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT!" :P]

"Why? I'm illustrating my thoughts."

["With my blade, of course..." XD]

"Sheez, here I am, trying to make an important descision, and you're goofing off in the corner. Here, gimme that!"

[LOL at Zac's attempts to be a good leader with Bob. Of course, if Sandra were yelling this at Bob instead of Zac, he'd shut up in a heartbeat. XD]

Zac reached out and touched the knife. Bob's eyes suddenly flooded with anger. He grabbed him by the collar (3 times now, twice in the same place!) and shook him wildly.

[Three strikes, HE'S out? XD]

"GIVE ME BACK THE KNIFE, PUNK!"

["I need to stab people with that!" >.>]

He kept shaking him until the knife jarred free from his hand. He grabbed it and instantly flopped back down in the corner and continued where he left off on his last Sandra illustration. A shooken Zac made his descision.

[Again, ZXD made Bob seem a bit more threatening to certain characters than he probably actually would've been. I doubt a Saiya-jin would be shaken up by being harassed with a knife, soft-hearted or not. :P]

"Well," he said in an odd voice, "I think we should do it!"

That's when it hit Bob. He got the perfect idea to proclaim his love.

Flowers! All the girls love flowers! Wow, what a great idea! he thought.

[Well, to be honest, I don't have any clue what kind of flowers Sandra would take a shine to... She's not exactly a girl with the same 'wants' in a guy as most have. I'll explain that possibly another time though. :P]

"Excuse me, folks. I'll only be a minute, start going into the sewers without me."

He flung himself out the door, racing down the street. He didn't know where to go to find flowers. Then it hit him like a brick in the face. Burglin Park has just about everything.

[Yep, Burglin Park seems to have everything at some point or another in any IF. :P

Also, if Sandra doesn't get brainshock from getting mentally smacked upside the head, Bob WILL soon enough. XD]

Surely enough, in the far back, there was an old woman hunched over some flowers. He grabbed a large boquet and left the old woman a fifty.

[At least Bob has respect for the elderly. :)]

His feet pounded his way back to Polestar Preschool, where fortunately for him, Sandra was still helping Nebiroth get into the sewer.

[Yeah, I don't honestly know from my memory of the sewers if Nebi could've fit in there logicially or not. I do know he'd have to trudge through the water if he wanted to have a chance to fit.]

"Uh... hi Sandra." he said, trying not to do anything stupid.

"Oh, hi Bob. Where'd you get off to?"

He kind of turned red and made little circles on the floor with his foot.

"Well... I um... I went out and... well, I bought you these."

[Even Bob suffers from anxiety when approaching girls. :P]

He held out the flowers in front of him, hoping he hadn't made a complete fool of himself. She looked at them, then at Bob.

"Aw, that's so nice. I haven't seen flowers like these in years... but I can't take them. I have nowhere to put them while we're out battling the monsters from space. Why don't you go put them in a glass of water for me?"

[XD. It almost seems as if ZXD is making Sandra take partial advantage of Bob's crush on her. In this case though, since Bob did pick the flowers, it is sorta his problem to find somewhere to put them, but in general, Sandra doesn't make others do most of her dirty work, unless she's trying to teach them a lesson I guess.]

Bob did as he was asked, quite promptly. It took him a bit to find the glasses, and a little longer to manage to get water to come out. (He unfortunately had to suck on the faucet and spit the water into the glass. Not very sanitary, but how else could he have gotten it?)

[Yeah, running water was still a little 'iffy' as far as what types of water weren't fully frozen up by the time freeze.]

By now, Sandra had gotten Nebiroth through the enterance of the sewer, and gave a motion to the lagging Bob. His ears perked up and he looked to the opening. He saw her waving him in. He jumped slightly, then ran for the entrance.

[Aw isn't that cyyyuuutee!! Bobbie's in luuuurve! ^_^]
