"Elmo? You t-there? It's me, Bushroot! You asked me to come! Right?" Reginald decides to announce himself before entering the abandoned lighthouse; remembering things wasn't Megavoltâs strong point, and Reggie didnât want to startle him. The plant/duck was hoping he wouldnât ask help with the whole âreleasing light bulbs from slaveryâ thing again, but he was indubitably curious about why the rat had called him to help instead of Quackerjack. (@drreginaldbushroot)
Megavolt slightly shocked himself on his new invention when the plant duck entered before turning in the ducks general direction.He couldnât believe the duck actually showed up âHi Reggie⌠did i?âhe answered confused.
 what did he asked him here for again?⌠plant advise? no no he didnât own any plantsâŚ. at least none that were still alive, he hoped the plant duck wouldnât notice the pot of full of dead plants in his windowsill.
He stood up to greet the duck and get himself self some coffee, hoping it would jar his memories to what the plan was âSo ehmm you wouldnât have a clue about what i asked you here for, do you?âŚyou want some?â he held up the coffee pot his friend Joe the coffeemaker had prepared for him even if he was unsure how long ago he asked him to do so ,but feeling that it was still warm meant it probably wasnât too long ago.

âRight, Iâll look for it⌠Please try not to kill us in the meantime.â Reggie turns his torso back inhumanely, extending his arms to search for said note in between the rubbish. âYuck, I found some fries that started their own ecosystem on the car⌠A-and Iâm not touching any plushie! âŚIs this a dressâŚ? Okay, I think I found something on a half burnt cereal boxâŚâ
Bushroot picks up the box and starts looking into it; it was covered in drawings and so was the piece of paper inside it. âUh, I think this is it⌠There are some numbers written on this mess⌠Oh? Is this you? âŚHe drew you two playing together? Hehe!â That was actually cute, the plant/duck couldnât help but smile.
ââŚIâm sure heâll be happy if you call him⌠And weâll avoid any misunderstandings!â The botanist was glad to stop a possible fight.
megavolt looked at the piece of paper and gave out a snort of amusement "yea that's the one! he drew that the first heist we went on together. you remember right?â
âthe whole taking over the city deal Negaduck planned? good times!â he thought back to the little things he could remember with a smile, ignoring the fact that they all lost in the end.
âquacky told me afterward to call him if i ever wanted another fun time⌠I never would have thought it would involve dressing up so much!â he slightly blushed at his own comment he couldn't deny it was a bit odd going around in a dress even if it was a very interesting experience.âi should really ask him whats up with thatâŚâ he was better off changing the subject back to what it was before Reggie would question thingsâŚ. but what was it they were talking about?
confusion was clearly written on his face âi was gonna do something⌠laundry no⌠rob somethingâŚ..ugh what was it again?âhe cursed under his breath, feeling the slight shame of not getting his head straight with a new person next to him, this was never a problem when he was alone.
@bulbloversomething
âYeah, I rememberâŚâ At first, he smiles, then Megavolt mentions Negaduck⌠âI remember too well.â But Bushroot wasnât going to complain or to bring up details of their disadventures those days.
âI think wearing fun costumes can count as a game of some kind⌠Heh. You donât have to feel embarrassed about it - Iâm literally naked. I need to do that if I want to photosynthesize sufficiently to function at the night, but still fells kinda weird sometimes.â
The botanist was seeing, clear as water, that his buddy was very confused about what he was doing. The ex-professor calmly explains; "Keep going straight ahead, then turn right at the second entrance⌠Youâll see my greenhouse in no time. Weâre going there.â
Wow, Elmoâs mind was really deteriorating fast; Bushroot had no idea the ratâs mind was getting so worse so fast. Reggie was starting to get really worried⌠maybe he should try to help but⌠how? Megavolt wasnât no plant for him to fix using his powers!
â..okeâ he answered knowing very well that the duck noticed his disability.
he knew he sometimes lost track of things, but when your alone nobody notices those problems and Quackerjack usually found them amusing to some extent.
his best option was to remain silent for the rest of the ride so he would have another mishap and luckily the ride was short enough to not be very awkward, already seeing the greenhouse in the distance.
surprisingly the greenhouse looks quite normal and megavolt was happy to see that the duck wasn't lying about the solar panels as he looked for a parking spot, he drove on the grass.
suddenly the car stopped before it could reach its destination.
âwhat?â he checked his car with a slight panic âdont tell me i forgot to charge herâ he thought, quickly looking at the power, seeing it was mostly full.âshe is high enough for at least three trips around st canard!âhe couldnât place what was wrong, was there a malfunction?Â
"why are we standing still?!â he said when something green slithering past the window and caught his eye.
vines were stopping the car from moving forward as the spouted from the ground and intertwined with his car, wrapping around the tires and growing over the roof.
he shot Bushroot a glare. of course, the duck had a security system! it better not break his darling or he might just blow a fuse. "mind turning off your security Reggie? I donât wanna have to pick leaves out of her engine!â not that he could really judge he himself triggered his own alarms more than once, but he didnât mind the shock that was intended for trespassers.
@bulbloversomething
Bushroot was lost in thought, trying to remember if he had something that could help Megavolt⌠That was staring at him�
âOh! Right! Sorry, I forgot⌠Uh⌠Now, everybody please calm downâŚâ Reggie slowly moves his hands down, making the plants stop the attack. âThere⌠Sorry about that⌠The plants are not used to cars parking here⌠But youâre welcome, of course⌠But I would prefer if you could avoid the grassâŚâ
Spike happily comes to inspect the car after seeing Reggie getting out of it; he makes excited noises and wiggles his body.
âSpike⌠You remember Megavolt, right?â The botanist looks back at his friend, not sure if he would recognize the venus fly trap monster. âDonât worry, heâs friendly⌠Heâs supposed to be my guard but⌠It didnât really work out.â Bushroot pets his creature.
âWell, so⌠You wanna look around? You can go and⌠interact⌠with the solar panels, if you like.â Interact was the best word he could came out with⌠Reggie wasnât sure what kind of activities Megavolt liked to engage with electronic devices but he was pretty sure he didnât want to know the details.
The bioscientist was legitimately curious to see if the rat remembered his own plan. Dr. Reginald was trying to measure how fried his colleagueâs brain was.
oh, how those solar panels beckoned to him, just a little look at those cells to see how much energy they can generate and if all the wiring in order couldn't hurt, right? maybe even tinker a bit with them if they felt like it and Bushroot didn't mind him doing so.
he was staring at them longingly before getting out of the car, only to be snapped out of his fantasies of being able to get his hand on some nice solar cells by the plant dog jumping on him.
" i remember you! wasn't this thing banned from our meetings?" he pushed spike off, Â sending a warning shot at him so he wouldn't attempt a second try at licking his face.
megavolt got up after being assaulted, and just wanted to close the door of his car when his attention was drawn to the gun on the dashboard, it sparked his memory about why he was here. it was he like he could hear the gun complaining to him for almost leaving her behind to go and frolic with some other electronic
"Oh nonono i didn't forget about you!" he yelped a bit as he swiped the gun from its spot, holding it with care â I wouldn't dare!â he cooed before turning his attention to Bushroot.
"Reggie can we should stick to our plan? if i go say "hi" to your panels now, i might get stuck taking care of them or go out to get my own! and then this baby would never get her time to shine!" he frowned a bit at the plant-duckÂ
thinking it was odd that the duck even suggested him to go an take a look when they had big plans for tonight.
he walked toward the greenhouse letting out a disappointed sigh as he glanced at black glistering surfaces while passing them. "ill be sure to take time for you photovoltaic beauties later..."
