Description

In the elevator, the "Rogue Robots" warning flashed onto the TV screen above the door. Wall.e pointed it out to E.v.e., who promptly unsheathed her arm cannon and shot the TV, thoroughly breaking it. The screen itself shattered, and the monitor was cracked, sparks flying everywhere as the image on it flickered out. Wall.e shuddered and stepped away from E.v.e., glancing at her like a henpecked husband glancing at his wife. The elevator slowed to a stop, and the doors opened on a small, dimly lit room. A series of yellow chevrons lit up on the floor, and a white capsule with rectangular blue eyes lit up. E.v.e. lead Wall.e towards the end of the room, then punched something into a previously unnoticed console. An escape pod lit up, and Earth appeared on the monitor above the pod, showing two satellites in orbit. Wall.e didn't quite get it, so she took a step back from the escape pod. E.v.e. noticed this, and tried to encourage Wall.e to walk into the escape pod, saying "Earth." Wall.e shook her head, and offered her hand to E.v.e., saying "No, E.v.a.." She pointed at the ground, and stated, "Directive." E.v.e. shook her head, and pointed at the monitor, gently but firmly repeating, "Earth." Wall.e again shook her head, and pointed at the ground. E.v.e. gently grasped Wall.e's hand and lead her into the escape pod. Wall.e sat down on the couch and then looked at E.v.e., who had just walked out. Feeling confused, Wall.e patted the couch next to her, and gave E.v.e. puppy eyes. E.v.e. shook her head, stating, "Directive." Wall.e got up and walked out, curling into a ball on the floor. E.v.e. groaned, "Wall.e!", and picked her up, placing her in the middle of the floor of the escape pod. She then left the escape pod again, and Wall.e rolled out right behind her. Suddenly, the elevator dinged.

E.v.e. gasped and quickly turned off the escape pod, as Wall.e rolled to a stop next to the capsule. E.v.e. joined Wall.e, curling up and pretending to go dormant as she did so. The doors opened on a darkened room, and nothing seemed to come out. Wall.e uncurled just enough to see what was going on, and noticed a red light behind the screen. A single epaulet appeared above the screen, then GO-4 snuck out from behind it, convinced that the coast was clear. By now, E.v.e. was watching, too. GO-4 turned the escape pod back on, but didn't set a course. Instead, he drifted right into it. Wall.e and E.v.e. now risked peeking inside the open door. They watched in horror as GO-4 split open and released a red tractor beam, which contained the plant. GO-4 dropped the plant on the floor of the capsule and pressed a red button on the console of the escape pod, then left. A moment later, Wall.e was inside it, picking the plant up. E.v.e. quietly gasped, "Wall.e!", and Wall.e replied, "E.v.a.!" just before a loud horn sounded, the door closed, and the escape pod was ejected with enough force to send E.v.e. flying backwards across the room. GO-4 hadn't noticed either of them, as he was too busy fleeing the scene. E.v.e. hurriedly opened a supply parcel ejection tube and threw herself into it, shutting the door, and triggering the automatic launch mechanism. She was catapulted into space at lightning speed, and quickly started chasing the rogue escape pod under her own power.

Inside the escape pod, the computer stated, "Cruising Speed reached. You are now free to move around the cabin.", as Wall.e fell off the interior of the door. She got up and placed the plant inside her trash compactor, then lunged at the console at the front of the cabin. The computer suddenly blared, 20 seconds to self destruct!" Wall.e frantically tugged at the joystick. It wouldn't budge- the escape pod seemed to be dead set on cruising in a straight line away from the Axiom. Wall.e next hammered at a number of buttons placed around the console. In the span of five seconds, the escape pod blasted its horn, did a barrel roll, raised a periscope, inflated a raft, fired missile counter measures, activated the windshield wipers, and flashed the headlights. "15 seconds to self destruct." Wall.e, now full blown panicking, pounded at the self destruct button, trying to turn the self destruct off. "10 seconds to self destruct." Wall.e spotted a fire extinguisher, which gave her an idea. She yanked the extinguisher out of its case, and squeezed the trigger, knowing full well what was about to happen. The recoil sent her flying back towards the door as the computer began counting out loud: "Ten, Nine, Eight..." Wall.e then pounded at the doors emergency release with the fire extinguisher. "...Seven, Six, Five..." The door sprung open on "...Four...", and Wall.e blasted off into space, the trailing echoes of, "...Three, Two, One..." echoed inside the rapidly depressurizing Escape Pod. Wall.e flew back towards the Axiom at full speed as the computer reached, "...Zero.", and the escape pod exploded.

E.v.e. had been unable to catch up with the escape pod, and slowed to a halt as the escape pod exploded. Briefly thinking that Wall.e could be dead, she lamented, "No, No...", then started flying towards the wreckage at full speed. Suddenly, she heard a loud, drawn out, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.V.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!", as Wall.e sped into view, speeding past E.v.e. and flying backwards? E.v.e. couldn't believe her eyes- Wall.e was alive, and she was flying! E.v.e. followed the trail of crystals left behind by Wall.e's chaotic flight, squealing, "WAAALL.EEE!" as Wall.e slowed to s stop, turned around, and started flying back in her direction. They sped past each other, Wall.e shouting, "Wal-Wal-Wal-Wal!" as she did so. E.v.e. again hit the metaphorical brakes, and turned around to watch as Wall.e "flew" back to E.v.e., leaving trails of crystalized exhaust as she did so. When she got to E.v.e., E.v.e. realized that Wall.e had somehow learned to fly using a fire extinguisher! Wall.e playfully sprayed E.v.e. with it, and the crystalized fire extinguisher exhaust tickled, prompting E.v.e. to giggle. Wall.e chirped, "Poof!", and slowly turned around, using the extinguisher to propel herself. E.v.e. started to move towards Wall.e, but Wall.e held up a hand and waved it slightly. E.v.e. stopped, and watched as Wall.e opened her trash compactor, and pulled out the plant. Wall.e held it up, chirping, "E.v.a.! Plant!" The next thing she knew, E.v.e. was grabbing the plant with her own, noticeably cyan (aqua?) tractor beam, and pulling it into the plant support chamber on her chest armor. Then E.v.e. lunged, and scooped Wall.e up into an embrace, squealing, "WALL.EEE!" in the most excited tone of voice Wall.e had ever heard. Wall.e leaned into the embrace, savoring her moment of victory as the pair twirled through space. Then, E.v.e. head-butted Wall.e, and a literal spark flew between them. It was their version of a kiss on the lips. Wall.e drifted away in what could best be described as a cyborg synth version of post kiss catatonia, her battery fluctuating for a moment before returning to a full charge. E.v.e., mildly amused by this, gestured, and said, "Wall.e!" This snapped Wall.e out of a romantic trance, and Wall.e realized that E.v.e. was inviting her to dance with her.
