Fixer Upper
So, today we don't have school. I decide to go and check on Rock when I nearly fall down from a pain in my arm. I then remember that my left arm got hit full on by a fireball. I put some Aloe on it, hoping that the sting would take away from the pain of the burn and run out the door. The cool breeze makes the Aloe on my arm feel like Heaven! Wait,cool breeze? It's fall! I forgot. I know where Rock's house is because of Peach dropping us all off after our random get togethers. I turn the corner onto Electric St.(I know, such irony) and find Rock's house, or should I say building, He lives in this overly tall ginourmous building. I only know that he lives in the "penthouse" part of the building. Who knows what the other floors are for. Peach, Aiden, Link and I have been jokingly been calling it Stark Tower for a while, I'm pretty sure Aiden and Link attached an eraser sized metal "S" at the top as a prank. I walk inside and into the elevator. I press the top button and the elevator moves up while playing "If you wanna be my lover" by the Spice Girls. The elevator opens into the living room of the top floor and my friend is nowhere to be found. I walk around the house with the same results, only finding a staircase behind the doors to a closet in the living room. I climb the stairs and come out onto the roof. Rock's standing at one edge, looking out over everything. The wind is ruffling his hair very cinematically. "Hey, you ok?" I ask as he turns around. "Yeah,just thinking," He answers, walking towards me. He sits down and motions for me to do the same. I sit across from him and just look. "You fought really well yesterday!" Rock says. "Thanks." I reply, remembering my arm. "So, how are you doing with the burns?" I ask. "Pretty well, it may seem surprising, but I'm almost back to normal." Rock says. I honestly expected that, he's smart so I knew he's figure out some way to recover from burns faster. I hold out my arm and say, "Well, this speaks for itself." Then and only then do I realize how bad my arm actually is. The burn is from my shoulder to my wrist. If the only picture you had ever seen of me was my arm right now, you'd think that I was (AN, I'm allowed to say black right?) black. Rock's eyes widen with surprise and he jumps to his feet. "Get up, I'm fixing your arm." He commands, crossing his arms. I stand slowly, this harsh, commanding boy being new to me. He grabs my right hand and basically drags me down the stairs and into the elevator. He hits the button for the floor below the top and when the door opens, the dragging continues. He stops and lets go of me in front of a table. I look around. Were standing in a pretty legit lab room. "Sit down." Rock says, turning to fiddle with some beakers. I sit down, a bit confused as to what's going on. "Arm on the table." He says. I softly lay my burned arm on the table and Rock turns back to me holding a roll of what appears to be that tape you put on your leg or arm when you hurt it in a sport or dance. "Lift." He says. I lift my arm a bit and he puts the wrap below it. I set my arm back down and he wraps it in the tape. After he finishes he looks at my arm for a bit. "Keep it on till Monday, the wrap is doused in a serum I made myself, it's the only reason why I'm not still horribly burned." He says, sitting down across from me. "So, you're into science?" I ask, looking around. "Well, I pretty much am science, so, yeah, I developed an interest." He says. I learned one thing from Rock in the time I've known him. He doesn't seem to mind the fact that he's a robot all that much, but he doesn't mention it much and nobody around him mentions it, so, I take the hint and not mention it either. "So, you're sure you're okay?" I ask. "Yeah, let's go back upstairs, I wanna show you something." He says with a smirk. I follow him back to the elevator and back into the living room. I sit on the couch and he asks if I want anything to drink. "Um, a Pepsi would be nice." I say. A couple minutes later, Rock comes back into the room with two Pepsis and a bracelet. "What's that?" I ask, taking my Pepsi. "Oh, it's just something I made when I was bored." He says . It's green, with yellow rhinestones on it. "I thought you might like it." He says, handing it to me . "Thanks!" I say, putting it on. "Now, you wanted to show me something?" I ask. "Yep, but first of all, have you noticed what I'm wearing?" He asks. I look him over and notice his suit and helmet from the Mega Man games. "Yeah." I say. "Well, watch this." He laughs. For a second, nothing happens, but then his suit and helmet turn orange and he pulls out none other than one of the blades I was using yesterday. "Tadaaaaa!" He shouts, going blue again. "NO WAY! YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO THAT?!" I shout. "Yep, pretty cool right?" He says. " yeah!" I exclaim. We sit there for about ten more minutes talking than I decide I need to leave. "Thanks for the wrap!" I say, holding up my wrapped up arm. "No prob!" Rock laughs as the elevator doors close between us.
