Static was minding his own business in the TV world as usual, until, suddenly, an unfamiliar, human-sounding scream rang out across the void. He was startled and confused. Why would a human enter the TV world? He, the defective robot who was dumped here so they could get rid of him, was the only one who was supposed to be there. Moreover, the tv world could only handle him. If more people were there, it would be VERY dangerous. And why were they screaming? He had to look for the source of the scream, someone might be hurt!
There was nothing in the void-like world to get in the way of his vision, so just by turning around, he saw you laying down on the ground after falling screaming from the “sky”, but slowly getting up. After regaining your footing, you saw static almost instantly. “Hey.” you said.
Static said nothing for a second, being a bit shocked, but as soon as he realized he should say something, he quickly fixed that. “What’s up, my name’s Static! How did you get here?”
You shrugged. “I don’t know. What is this place?”
“This is the TV world, and no one’s supposed to be here but me! Did you get sucked in or something?” Exclaimed Static. He was also a bit surprised by how calm you were after falling from such a height while screaming and landing in an unfamiliar pocket dimension. Seriously, what are you made of?
You sighed, “Like I said, I don’t know.”
A bit of awkward silence followed until Static remembered something important. “H-hey, this place wasn’t meant to handle more than just me! You g-gotta get outta here soon!” He said in alarm. You asked, “Why? What’s happening?” Just a bit more fearfully than how calm you were before.
“Don’t panic, but only one person can be in the TV world at a time. I promise I’ll help you get back to your world.”
You relaxed, confident in Static’s ability to help you. “So how can I get out?” He answered with a plain, simple answer: “I… have no idea.” He had no face, but you could tell by the tone of his voice that he was getting anxious about this realization.
“Oh no.” You uttered nonchalantly. “Anyway, how about a rap battle while we wait for the inevitable destruction of the dimension keeping us alive?”
Static was more than a little unsettled about your careless demeanor in a situation like this, but agreed as he had nothing better to do and apparently no way to save them.
One rap battle later, you had really gotten to know each other through song and Static was impressed by how nice you could be despite your strangeness. Maybe dying in a breaking world wouldn’t be so bad after all if you were there with him. (Not that he wants you to get hurt <3)
He asked you, “Say, what's it like, living out there in the real world? I've only ever watched from the outside, So I've always wondered what it's like.”
He gazed into the “sky” thoughtfully. “Maybe one day, I can… No, that’s a silly thought. When they put me in here, they said I was defective. A defective bot like me doesn't belong on the outside. Still, it sounds like a cool place! You must miss it already huh?”
For one of the rare times in your life, you were shocked. “What? Who would say that? You don’t seem defective at all, and that sounds really mean to say!” Static’s screen turned pink from the compliment (saying someone isn’t defective isn’t really a compliment but he really believes they were right, poor guy) but otherwise he just shrugged. You decided to help him feel a bit better with another song battle.
After the song battle, a glowing green portal suddenly appeared, just strong enough for one person. Static urged you, “Go! I don’t know how long that’ll hold!” You told him, “Not without you! You deserve to see the real world too. What if we can make the portal stronger by singing even more?”
“You’re crazy, you know that? If I leave, there’s no going back! Everything will be new and alien! Would I even belong in a place like that? A defective robot like me?” Static worried. “I don’t really know if there’s anything wrong with you but you deserve to see the outside.” You said, putting your foot down.
“Heh. You have a strange way with words, funky little dude(Gender neutral). Maybe the outside world is worth giving a shot after all. Let's get outta here!”
After the last battle, the portal was strong enough to pull both of you back to reality. Static thanked you, and you went home. A few days later, you met again and have been close friends ever since. :)
