"Yo, boss!" Grease Monkey shouts as Rabsy exits the stairs.
"Monkey!" Rabsy shouts back. "Almost done?"
"Juzz about," Monkey responds. "Juzz gotta stick on tha air freshner."
Grease Monkey hops inside, a tiny green pine tree on his tail. Rabsy can see inside the cockpit through the window as Monkey hangs the tiny tree on the overhead dashboard.
A new customer flies in on quite possibly the smallest ship Rabsy has ever seen enter his garage.
The customer exits the ship. It is a tiny pink female, shorter than Rabsy but in perfect proportion, with curly hair and tight fitting clothing.
"Hello," she greets in a tiny little voice. "Do you know how to get to Earth?"
"Uh, yes," Foxy answers. "I'll get you the coordinates."
Foxy walks off quickly as Rabsy and the tiny pink female wait by her ship.
"If you want," Rabsy offers, "I could fuel you're ship up for you. Earth is pretty far away for such a tiny ship."
"That'd be so nice!" she says. "Thank you!"
Rabsy grabs a gas pump, and hops over to the tiny ship, sticking the pump in the side.
"So, what's your name?" Rabsy asks.
"I'm Ruby," she says in her tiny voice.
A moment of silence as Rabsy keeps track of the fuel intake.
"Why're you headed to Earth?" Rabsy asks. "It's a darn big planet to check out for such a little lady like yourself."
Ruby plays with her hair before answering.
"I've heard that it is a nice place, wanted to see for myself."
Rabsy takes her at her word as the pump finishes filling the tank.
"Here," Ruby says, handing Rabsy some money. "This is for the gas and the coordinates."
"Thank you," Rabsy says, taking the money in his hands. Foxy walks back to them with the coordinates written down on paper, and hands it to Ruby. The little female enters her ship, and takes off for her destination.
"Well, time for another break!" Rabsy exclaims.
"But Rabsy," Foxy says, "you just recovered from our last session. Shouldn't you wait until later?"
Rabsy doesn't understand what Foxy means.
"What're you...? OH!! NO, not that!" he laughs. "I was thinking about a LUNCH break this time!"
As Foxy laughs at herself, the two head down to the pantry to make sandwiches.
