[The scroll starts up like someone just flung it open, Arcee popping onto the feed looking just as disgruntled as ever. Good to see some things never change.]

Could someone please explain to Marty that bringing a fragging dog into a small house filled with cats is a bad idea. No, scratch that, the worst idea.

Because apparently, I can't get through to him.

[She let him have his stupid metal music, WHY THIS? It's not like it's her house or anything.]

[thepoweroflove]

Did you really have to announce it to the entire city?

[Ugh, he feels like a kid or something.]

You know not all dogs chase after cats! We could find one that's friendly around you guys.

[robotfightclub]

[Yes. She did. Because maybe THEN it'll get him to stop asking.]

It's not the dog's preference I'm worried about.

[thepoweroflove]

[Wait, so what else is she worried about-

...Wait.]

Arcee, have you ever even met a dog before?

[robotfightclub]

A whole invasion of them, actually.

[Was Marty here for the puppy invasion? It was terrible. Arcee never wants to experience something like that ever again.]

[thepoweroflove]

Oh right, right! That thing. They didn't try to maul you, did they?

[robotfightclub]

[Just this look, Marty. Just this look. Why not take a guess?]

[thepoweroflove]

[You know it wouldn't hurt to say "Look Marty, I've had a bad experience with dogs so I don't feel comfortable around them" upfront.]

C'mon, we can try to reintroduce you to dogs. Isn't that a kind of therapy anyway?

[Marty that's not how exposure therapy works.]

[robotfightclub]

Are you serious right now?

I do a lot of scrap for you, Marty, the least you can do is respect ONE, just one rule for me.

[thepoweroflove]

I respect most of your rules...

[Why do you hurt him so much, Arcee?]

Alright fine, I'll stop bugging you about it.

[robotfightclub]

[There's a very heavy sigh of relief. Victory at last.]

Thank you.

[thepoweroflove]

You're welcome.

[You're very lucky that Marty's smart enough to realize that it would be a very stupid idea to end up trying to hide a dog in the house, Arcee.]

[robotfightclub]

[Wait? He is?]

Now do me a favor and help clean up today. You need to do something.

[thepoweroflove]

[HE'S NOT FIVE, ARCEE.]

C'mon, you make it sound like I just sit around all day doing nothing.

[He has a job and stuff! A legit one too! So he's super adult.]
