Once Ayami boasted about how she's made over a hundred inventions, the Android couldn't help but be impressed! It was that kind of innovation and passion that Capsule Corp craved with each new employee added to it's roster! ... Okay, the Namekian in the HQ's Lobby was kind of a kill-joy, but never mind him. "You made a toaster with legs?", Zeni asks, curious about how that particular invention played out.

Although the Elfen would first show off that auto-adjustable belt she has. Now, a solid fifteen minutes of techno-babble would probably be enough to make anyone zone out... Not Zeni! The Android listened with complete attention, occasionally nodding or giving an "ooh" or an "aah" in response... Poor Hono was caught in the middle of that particular exchange.

Though Ayami was shook out of her speech by Hono saying that she could stay over as long as she helped out at the restaurant. "Whoa! That sounds like a lot of fun, I'm not an inventor, but I can try being a waitress, I bet!"

You are all hereby forgiven for imagining her in a waitress uniform. Moving along! It really seemed like those two were getting into the good spirit of things when it came to training and fighting. The Android couldn't help but be psyched up in her own right. She'd have to make sure the training is effective for them!

But what proved just as exciting for Ayami was the idea of meeting Gemini one day. "I'm sure she'd love to see what you've come up with! Who knows, she might even ask you to work with her!"

After that, Ayami and Hono both commented on her status as a "Nite-Lite", probably even having more lights that was readily noticeable! That was certainly true. "Heheh, yep! I'm outfitted to be able to handle anything!"

Things just seemed to move along naturally for their conversation, because Ayami expressed a willingness to show off all her moves in due time. But it wasn't like Hono was being left in the dust either. She was just as pumped at the idea of being able to use a Gravity Chamber to get stronger.

"From what I can tell, yes. It's like weight training, but several times more effective! Literally! From what I've heard, this thing could multiply Earth's Gravity several fold... Don't know what kinda madman cranked up that high, but I'm sure they got plenty strong from it! Because he kept using it like that!"

All that said and done... Ayami's phone then rings, playing the song of a show, not one that Zeni had seen personally, but she had to admit the tune was catchy. The Elfen seemed a little less enthusiastic about it because of who was calling though.

"Uh oh!", The Android grasped exactly what it means to be late getting home! Hopefully Ayami wasn't in too much trouble.... But she'd just have to listen to the conversation and see.

Ayami Hono

Hono chuckled. "We'd love your help, Zeni!" The idea of Zeni in a waitress uniform was... so cute! Hono's cheeks quickly lit up before she shook her head! Clearing her mind of that thought.

Hono rubbed her neck. She wasn't the most interested in all the technology. Hono had toned things out a bit, it was quite impressive, Ayami was an amazing inventor! Hono was a bit curious about how smart Ayami was!

Hono crossed her arms, Gemini was the closest thing Zeni had to a mother. So Hono was excited to meet her!

"We and Ayami are gonna get strong as heck in the Gravity Chamber!" Hono cracked her knuckles. "Let's get even stronger!!!" Hono walked up to Ayami and playfully nudged her friend.

Hono playfully laughed hearing Ayami's grandmother, it reminded her a lot of her father! Her dad was often very worried about where Hono so Hono got it.

"You can hang out with us in West City!" Hono smiled warmly at her friend. "I gave you my number so text me whenever!" Hono looked over at Zeni, "Same to you Zeni. Feel free to call me whenever!" She smiled at the android.

"Oh, I'm sure I will! I can't wait!" Hono smiled thinking about what Ayami would show her. Hono laughed at Ayami's admittedly cheesy joke. The girl was so charming!

"Waitress Buddies... You know it! Let's be the best buddies ever!" Hono punched her hand into her palm.

Ayami's saying was a bit... off. Though Hono simply nodded. "Right! We'll get stronger in no time!!!" Hono smirked.

Ayami smiled brightly at Hono, her offer to stay in west city was defimitely generous, even more so the exchanging of her phone number...Wait! Exchanging phone numbers?! Ayami quickly pulled out her notepad and flipped through its many pages at high speed! She stopped it instantly by pressing a finger against the right page.

"Here's mine!!! You can both have it!"

She held up the notepad for both Zeni and Hono alike to see, holding it up long enough for them to get a very good look and then afterwards the elfen flipped the notebook closed once more, putting it right back into her toolbelt where it belonged! She grins at both of them, clearly excited by the prospect of texting them.

"I never get to text my family! Gramma's old and my bro is a hardass!"

Still...As she looked off at the deep orange and pink hues of the setting sun she felt a little down, frowning for a bit over how she'd have to part ways with her new friends already...But Zeni's words helped her to smile, if a little smaller of a smile than normal.

"Ya mean it...? I really had fun with you two you know...If we can hang out more even after today, I'd really like that y'know! You better promise 'cause I'll cry if I don't see either of you again!"

The elfen really couldn't keep herself from letting out a laugh of her own as she watched her two friends laugh at the toaster joke! It really helped cheer Ayami up. It seems they all were in agreeance over the waitress squad! Zeni expressed curiosity over whether Hono's dad would approve or not. But Ayami flashed them both a confident grin, nodding.

"Like the idea? Her dad's gonna have his head ten billion percent blown away by our staggering genius and combined cuteness! I can promise you that much!"

Ayami wasn't lacking in confidence, that much was clear! But she had to hold back tears as she was hit by a surprise statement from the android! All the makings of a capsule corp employee?! That meant so much to the elfen girl to hear! Her eyes began to fill with water and she sniffled! Her face tightened up a bit as she rubbed the tears away from her eyes, stopping just short of bawling her eyes out!

"That makes me so happy...So happy...!!!"

Hono had her fired up too though! It was a wild mix of emotions boiling to the surface of this living ocean of a girl! She smiled as Hono nudged her playfully, she gave a nod. Wanting to get just as strong as Hono did! Maybe even more!

"The three of us? We're gonna be the strongest in the universe!"

Tough courses...Knowing the android they'd be effective as hifl! The elfen girl pumped her fist excitedly.

"You really gotta push me to my limits Zen! I'm fired up!!!"

... All this excitement was making the elfen hungry...Her stomach growled quite loudly, interrupting their conversation! Ayami's stomach growling so fiercely reminded her...

"Oh yeah! My sushi!!! My pele volcano special!"

Without hesitation Ayami dug into the plastic bag concealing her meal! She pulled out a white box containing exactly the sushi she ordered! Little black and red rolls on a bed of rice and pineapple, all dripping with burning hot hotsauce!

"Hey Sushi! Your sushi looks delicious! Hmm...But it's missing SOMETHING..."

Ayami paused for a moment and dug into her toolbelt vigorously...And then pulled out a tiny bottle of hot sauce all her own. And then she applied the stuff quite liberally to her already firey hot sushi rolls!

"Time to dig in!!!"

The elfen girl bravely grabbed a roll and popped it into her mouth... ... And didn't react to the spiciness at all?! She'd spend a few minutes chewing before swallowing it.

"Delicious! Hey you two want some?"

Zeni Hono

Once Ayami showed off her phone number in a rather eccentric way, Zeni responded by taking a quick snapshot of it with her optic lenses, and just like that she'd have it on hand to use whenever! This way, all three of them could communicate whenever they wanted, that was pretty exciting! "Got it! Both of your phone numbers are now registered for me. I don't really have a phone, buuuuttt..."

With she closes her eyes for a moment, and then both Ayami's phone and Hono's phone would be sent notifications about new text messages. And sure enough, it was from the Android herself! Just a simple thing stating "We can use this to talk!", and it included what looked very much like a phone number as the sender ID. After that, she opens her eyes. "All done!"

Zeni then grins and gives a thumbs up to Ayami. "I promise we're going to hang out more!"

And after that, the Elfen mentioned that Hono's dad was likely to be blown away by their efforts... And their cuteness! So, Ayami thought she was cute? The Android couldn't help but blush noticeably at the indirect compliment. And it would probably serve as a bit of fun for Hono, too. Knowing how much she liked to tease others.

That said and done. They both also made the request that Zeni makes the training as hard as possible! "Hmm... Right! I'll try to come up with something really good, then!", she then replies. Noting how energetic all three of them were, though... That was going to be a challenge. Fortunately Zeni had plenty of time to think of how to approach the problem.

In the middle of thinking this over, Ayami's stomach decided to join in the conversation with a loud rumbling. The Elfen didn't seem too bothered though, just remembering that she had already ordered some food and dug it out in short order. Zeni watches as the Elfen starts to fiddle with that tool belt again, and then pulls out a bottle of hot sauce and applies it rather heavily to the sushi that already looked to be pretty spicy.

But even more amazing was the fact that Ayami actually took a bite of it and wasn't bothered. "Whoa... You must love spicy food!", after she said that, Ayami offered to share some. Hono turned it down because there was already dinner waiting back at home, and she seemed to be ready to head back now.

As for Zeni... "Sure, I'll try some!", seems she didn't fear spice either!

Ayami Hono

She felt her phone buzz, quickly pulling it out of her pocket. Zeni could text without a phone? Once again, Zeni was amazing, Hono was impressed with her new Android companion as always. She texted Zeni back. "Hell yeah!" She sent back, so Zeni would know it's her. Though, she had a feeling Zeni already knew who it was.

Ayami's Technolepathy brought a smile to her face. Ayami was also so cheerful, and it defiantly rubbed off!

"We should go the movies or something sometime!" she balled up her fist and leaned forward. "Whatever best friends do..." admittedly she had never had a best friend, so she wasn't sure what they did together-

Hono chuckled as the Elfen messed with her hair. "Duh, aren't best friends the best for a reason?" She grinned widely. Putting her hands proudly on her hips and leaning forward. "Oh, you're a genius alright~" she rolled her eyes. "Next time we meet we're gonna go all out!" Hono punched her fists into one another while flaring her Ki. The White Energy surrounded her body! What a showoff. "No way in hell, I'll lose to you!!!"


Hono rubbed her arm awkwardly. Though when Zeni said she was going to make their training hard. "I'm all for it! Push me to my limits!! I'll smash my stupid limits to pieces!" The girl told herself, lightly hitting the side of her head, psyching herself up.

Hono spoke up. "I can't believe she's into food like that...I like spicy food but nothing like that-" She chuckled. "That roll is already spicy enough- She just put hot sauce on it, so it'll be even hotter!" Hono was worried, hopefully, that wouldn't hurt-

Zeni went to taste some, she was hopeful the android would enjoy her father's cooking. While answering what should be done about the bullies. "Maybe we should hang em for the flagpole~" She had a bit of a devilish smirk. "So everyone can see those big bullies~"

Hono had decided to stay a bit longer, both to see Zeni's reactions and figure out what was suppose to be done with the bullies.

So it was limited to messages for now...But being concealed like that, Zeni being able to communicate with phones without needing one herself meant she could use it in dangerous situations where it might not have been possible to openly communicate in front of an enemy!

"You could use Technolepathy for spy work y'know!"

Still, having it explained exactly as it worked gave Ayami some ideas of her own...The inventor girl grinned, taking mental notes from the android's explination of connecting to radio waves. It was such a simple thing, and yet...A ethora of ideas rushed around in Ayami's mind!

Movies? Hono had suggested an idea...And it wasn't a bad one at all! Ayami's eyes lit up brightly as she hopped in place excitedly!

"I've never been to a movie theater before! That would be great!!! Zeni you should come to! We can watch a fun one!"

Hono was definitely encouraging just to be around. Aysmi simply couldn't stop smiling brightly as the pair rough housed. And when Hono suggested they go all out next time, the elfen girl could only give a confident nod.

"If you don't, I'll be disappointed Sushi!"

Ayami could only chuckle as Hono continued to psych herself up, speaking of smashing her limits...Hono was a powerful motivator that made Ayami want to push herself twice as hard as Hono intended to! With Hono's motivation, the elfen girl's own boundless energy, and Zeni's strategic planning, there was a goldmine of potential sitting right underneath the trio!

"Well yeah! I eat spicy food all the time! It's the best! I like sweets too though! Chocolate is delicious."

Ayami smiled as she watched the android eat, although she hardly noticed the sudden...Glitch in the system that occurred from the ultra hot roll! The elfen continued to smile innocently as if nothing was amiss. She was even happier that Zeni enjoyed it!

"Right?! That extra kick really does it for me!"

Although as her two friends suggested drastically different things, the mechanic scratched her head, trying to think over which she thought was best. It was true that they probably deserved the humiliation Hono was suggesting, but...

"I'm not sure...I think they kinda already learned their lesson with us beating the tar out of them. I'm kinda with Zeni on this one. Maybe we should take 'em to the police.

Ultimately Ayami felt like she had to go with Zeni on this one. She didn't think Hono was wrong, just...They got beaten pretty hard, and to the elfen that was already a lot of humiliation on its own. Ayami was simply too good natured to ever try "getting back" at someone. There were probably instances where that could be contradicted, but when it regarded herself, she didn't really need revenge.

Zeni Hono

When Ayami mentioned that it could be used for spy work, and Hono followed up on that idea, it actually gave Zeni a bit of inspiration. "Hey, you're right! I'd need to get the full getup for that kind of thing, though. Y'know, the stealth suit and a bandana. And a cardboard box to hide under!", she seems to be running with the idea... "We could use code names too! Like "Solid Viper"!"

With that bit of fun out of the way, the conversation turned to going to the movies sometime. Ayami certainly sounded excited for it, and Hono already had a film that she wanted to show them. "Yeah, I'm up for it whenever! That movie sounds like a blast!"

Ayami then mentions that the extra kick to spicy food really adds something to it for her. "Well, I can see why! That sort of thing really gives you a good kickstart to your system!"

Hono then states that she would take them to jail, but she really does need to head home and she's not familiar with the city either. "That's okay! I can take care of it! Both of you need to be heading home, right?"

With that decided, Hono then gives the pair a hug, something that the Android is happy to return, alongside a smile! "Yep! Seeya later, Hono!"

The Android waves as one of her friends leaves. She then turns to Ayami. "Stay safe when heading home, Ayami! And I hope that your Grandma isn't too mad!"

With that, she begins to collect the three goons, making sure they're also safely tied up so that there won't be any further mishaps on the way to the Police.
