Tigers eyes were staring blankly as he wrapped his arms around her slowly picking her up as her body was laying limp in his arms. "I got you Tiger.. don't worry, I'll fix you up." Pausing for a moment "Somehow.." Lifting her body up closer to him as her wires dangled against his fur, and her gears pinched against his scales. Pulling her from the closet she was in, and placed her in the middle of the room of the living room. Panting a bit and placed her down on her feet once more. "OO.. sweetie your a bit on the heavy side.. but that's alright." Rubbing his lower back, Jane holding Tigers bag having a recharge box and a console for electrical maintenance. He looked inside, "Ah, there it is.. Tiger, I don't know if you can hear me but excuse us while we look around and see what we can help you with,.. so if we accidently touch you in a wrong way. We ap-pologize in advance if any place you don't want us touching.. but we will need to find your charging port and.. Do some maintenance on you, you look a bit sickly.." He looked down at her and frowned slightly, his paws reached out and began looking around her head. Feeling around to see if he could feel a port that was perhaps somewhere hidden.
All the girls had been looking all around Tiger, confused about where the port would be. He was the only one touching Tiger at a point, touching along Tigers stomach area trying to find a latch. His eyes looking away, as a few of his fingers had grazed over tigers chest. His paws quickly moved away from the area, then moved towards her back. His eyes, widened feeling a spot upon her back feeling like a latch, gently fiddling with it with his fingers. "I think I found it.." With a soft snap and click, a small door opened in her back, with a outlet and a connector to be placed inside. "Heh.. well looks like we are about to get you all fixed up.." He said taking the cords and connected them inside the ports. Holding onto the console as it was connecting to the charge box and checking the programing. showing the last time charged in the corner of the small screen on the console. The box was set to the very lowest programing than recommended for her model.
Looking at the screen and began to look through instructions into how to maintain her model. "Oh.. there is a upgrade model available.." Looking at Tiger, "Well.. I guess that would be up to her. If she got the upgrade.. do you think it will still be her?" Asking the girls while they began to all talk about it, "I.. I know girls... girls... girls" Some of them were arguing about trading her in. "It will be up to her so.. Let's just give her some time to charge up and we can ask." Looking back at the screen and began inputting the charging sequence. Tigers wires sparked a bit for a second then stopped, making the front of her body shake for a moment before freezing in place. The box began vibrating as the console started at 3% blinking, placing the console against her back in a small tray for it to be placed with the charge box.
"Now we wait.." He said, everyone making Tiger some room to be safe and for themselves to be safe with some of her sparking wires that went off every so often. He looked over at Jane, "So.. How long does it usually take for her to be charged?" Jane smiled softly, "No Idea.." Sighing heavily before hanging his head a bit, "Oh.. well at least she is safe now.." Tigers head shifted to one side then the other for a short moment. "..Tiger? Can you hear us?" Tigers ears twitched and flicked a bit before head body shifted some lifting her head. Turning her body around to face him looking up glitching a bit as her arms jerked to the side. "I-i-i-i-i C-can HEar you-ou-ou." She spoke in a broken feminine voice,
"Alright good, how long before your fully charged? Also, why did you hide yourself? We have been worried and looking for you.. Please tell us you are okay or need anything.." Looking into the robotic eyes staring back at him. "Ye-yeah as-hahs..calculating" Placing her paws out in front of herself clenching some and began slowly rotating her paws around. ".. Nine hours for full charge, software updates 5 days with good connection." Standing back up straight as her head shifted to the side. "I am in need of repair.. In multiple area's need maintena-" She seemed to freeze for a moment, as her jaw dropped a bit looking off in front of her.
Blinked a bit. "Ah.." Rain looked over at the screen. "Uh, I think the charge box is out of juice.." Groaning some as he slouched over as he walked behind Tiger. Looked at the screen as it was blank as nothing was turning on from her whole frame. Taking a deep breath with a groan opening up the charge box noticing that it could be attached to a external plug, as the model of the charge box was just as old as the model she was. "Oh sweetie this is all? You need some work." Plugging the charge box in, then unplugging Tiger from the charge box but leaving it connected to the console. As soon as it was connected to the outlet, a small charging light turned on.
"Alright lets update, and charge up this first." Looking back at the screen as data input was shown. Using the screen on the charging box to input data. It wasn't long before the wifi connected to the modem of the house, soon multiple tabs began appearing one the Screen on Tigers back. "This should help, I hope this helps." Tapping the screen and inputting more data into the charging box. After entering all the data he could. Looking up at the screen on Tigers back for a moment reading all the tabs. He took the charging box, placed it down letting it charge and update. a small game popped up on the screen 'If you wished to play while waiting.' Raising a brow at the charge box. "A game in this?.. Alright.. Welp here someone play this and everyone plays trade off if you want but we all have to play." Little one's ears perked up as she bounced over. "Game?!" She said excitedly before he was able to explain she was already playing. "Uh oh, um you got?" He looked down seeing she was focused and quickly leveling up in the game. "Good girl.. there you go you got it.. get a whole bunch."
Each time a certain amount of levels were completed within a certain time limit, a item was gained in a small inventory box icon in the corner of the screen. Every few levels it got harder and harder to win, a list of top scorers was being recorded on the hard drive. Little ones eyes seemed to be glued onto the screen. "Well alrighty than, Lillion.. Remember to take breaks from the game, and let others play too... haha" Smiled softly as Lillion nodded playing the game. "Yes, get all the stuff's for Tiger's-sss." He sighed softly placing his paw upon Lillions head rubbed her head lightly, 'Glad to see everyone, it seems everything is doing alright today and Tiger would at least get a software update, hopefully charged soon.' Looking around at the girls they all seemed to be excited and impatient a bit wanting Tiger to be alright quickly. Walking out of the living room, to get something to drink having taken Tiger from the coat closet and into the middle of the living room. The charge box was up to 20% flashing red numbers on top of the box, when he checked it passing by.
In the kitchen getting something to drink, he held his glass of water in his paws and thought about what Tiger was like, it wasn't long before a squeal came from the living room. Leaning over some to peek inside of the living room from the kitchen, "What's going on? Everyone alright?" He stared at the girls were all staying close to Tiger, examining and staring at her curiously. "Heh." He smiled softly seeing them checking her out. Another squeal came this time with more of the girls talking at once he raised his brow, walking around the corner into the living room. Looking at all the girls now surrounding Lillion, "Hmm.. What's going on?" he asked while standing behind one of them. Lydia called out, "The more levels we get done the faster it charges, and updates." Rain and Jane seemed to look excited as the other girls were more eager to play the game as Lillion was clinging to the game.
His eyes went wide, "Really? Alright, let me see." Gently making his way through the girls. "Excuse me girls.. Excuse me." He was soon in front of Lillion looking down at the game as she was playing it. "Oh.. hm." Turning his attention to the charge box 80% solid red numbers lit up on the screen showing the percentage on the software updates. Solid green numbers lit up on the screen under the updates showing how much it was at 90%. seeing it was almost done. "Hm. That is interesting way of making the time fly by and getting what you need faster." He reached out rubbing Lillion's head some smiling softly, "Good job Lillion." The girls seemed to be staring at Lillion, Jane stepping closer. "I figured out that doing more levels makes the charge and updates go faster." She was leaning her head against his side, looked up at him with a soft smile.
He looked down at Jane, "Oh? well thank you, for figuring it out." He said while rubbing Janes head softly as well. Her head leaned into his hand and smiled softly to him, but glanced to the rest of the girls grinning wickedly. "So when both are at hundred percent then we will hook back up to Tiger and we will see how well it does." He walked out of the living room and returned to the kitchen to finish his drink, and relax a bit. "At least they are all excited and enjoying themselves." Talking out loud Looking at his drink on the counter picking it up in his paws. 'Well I guess we will find out sooner than later.. I hope she doesn't think we ... or I dislike her in any way..' He would stare off while leaning against the counter, as Autumn came sliding into the kitchen soon scurrying around upon the hardwood floor, slowly slide up beside him. 'Uh oh trouble..' "Hello Autumn, coming to get your chocolate?" He asked as her face lit up, "OH! yes.. Of course." She would slowly lean over slightly brushing her chest, against him with her face soon turning towards him and smiled softly. "I like all the chocolate you have."
Her fingers touching along his arm, while reaching into the cabinet behind him. "Mhm.." Sipping some of his drink, before leaning over slightly as Autumn fell against him stumbling only to be in his arm. Reaching his arm out quickly and grabbed ahold of Autumn holding her with one arm against him. "Mmmmmhhmmmm looking for chocolate huh?" He chuckled helping her get back to her feet, as she stared into his eyes some. "I-" She said softly before being interrupted by Lillion screaming in the living room as everyone else began screaming. He quickly looked towards the living room before quickly placing the drink down rushing around Autumn. "Excuse me.. Autumn one moment." He said running into the living room he was running through what it could be to have them all screaming like that. Running around the corner only to see, Tiger was sparking and making small burn spots every so often from her frame. "Don't touch her!..." He yelled out in a nervous tone, "Everyone in the kitchen.. uh also.. What happened?!" Stepping towards Tiger, seeing that Tiger was charging, and getting the update uploaded into her. 'Oh Tiger, please be okay..' Lowering his head to look into her eyes which were glowing off and on. Noticing her eyes were reflecting him, a bit of looking at his fangs, "oh... I have a piece of meat stuck in my teeth." Tigers eyes blinked some as they both seemed to go by instinct standing straight up in front of each other.
"Uh.. Tiger? You doing okay? Do you remember who I am?" Tigers body was calming down only sparking a little bit. He looked down at her body frame, looking back up at her smiling softly glad to see she looked to be getting better with a bit of time. "Yes, I am T-t-tiger-er. I am on ch-ch-charg-gi-ing mode. I can not move or do much-h. I am s-s-s-s-o-orry to be of a inconvenience here," Tigers eyes looked around some before going back to look at him, "This is not th-the closet. I will get in the way, when I ch-ch-charge.. I know who you are-are-aa and how I got here. If I could I would would would greet you properly." Everyone seemed to be slowly coming back into the living room crowding around Tiger.
"WE MISSED YOU!" Lillion ran over jumping to pounce upon Tiger, Rain catching Lillion in front of Tiger. "You know not to jump on Tiger, be nice." Lillion pouted standing on her feet with her arms crossed in front of her, "I was the one who made Tiger all better now.. she can play with me!" Lillion smiled brightly to Tiger, she looked down at Lillion blinking, "You are the-the-the one, who made me be-bet-butter? Lillion." Hearing Tigers voice again she sniffled and smiled happily nodding raising her paws up curling her fingers towards Tiger to pick her up. "I am s-s-s-so-o-orry Lillion I canknot not not move or pick you up up up up up."
He slowly backed up away from the crowd, leaning against the corner between kitchen and living room. He smiled, watching as they all seemed to be happier with Tiger around. Telling Tiger about all the adventures they have had so far, wanting to take her to join them. He turned away making his way back into the kitchen to have some of his drink. Looking at his drink, "Ah.. this turned out to be a good day." reaching for his cup as his phone began to vibrate. His hand froze and sighed heavily, 'I don't wanna take another shift.' Taking out his phone and looked at the caller Id, "Heualloo?"
Answering it out of confusion, "You answered? Hello. it is me, Tiger." a familiar surprised voice spoke through the phone, "Uh, Tiger why and how are you calling me?" He spoke, slowly sipping some of his drink that had grown cold. "Yeah, and it's rude to call someone when your talking with others in another room... So... we can talk later if you want I know your going to be busy for a while." As soon as he was done talking she had no hesitation in her words or voice.
"No. I called you using your Wifi's network I am able to make calls now. Jane has informed me that a upgraded model of my model is out. I have already agreed to the terms and conditions. I am in need of your approval for me to do this." Standing in the kitchen opening up his mouth some, unsure of what to say or how to process this bit of news suddenly. This was an important call and the decision was already made. "Oh, is there anything I need to do, or well everyone would need to do for this to happen? Other than giving you permission to do this... Wait, why do you need my approval?"
Sounding a bit worried while walking to the edge of the kitchen with his drink in his grasp. Looking around the corner staring at Tiger, she was still posed in the same spot not moving, as Lillion and Rain had began a tournament race on Muddy Rides 8. Most of the girls and Josh were waiting their turn for the tournament while doing practice runs. "This is your house, you have taken us in even when you didn't have to." Tiger sparked a bit, before her ears twitched a bit as her fingers were starting to move. "Oh well.. Yeah but I'm not sure how the remodeling?.. or upgrade will you be you afterward?" Her charge was complete, shifting her body a bit.
"I'm done charging." She said aloud Lillion was in the middle of a race. Jumping up on her chair, stomping her feet. She was torn between jumping on Tiger now that she was able to move Or she could continue to kick buttux in Muddy Riders 8. "Yes, I will still be Tiger but with a more sustainable body for these adventures of Lillion and friends." The race was paused, everyone would crowd around Tiger once more now that she could move around. "Ah, well if this is what you really want I will support you in this. You have my approval but if for any reason you don't want to do this you are free to do so." Each one got in line to give Tiger a hug. "Thank you." He met eyes with her for a moment, the call had ended sipping his drink gulping it down to the last drop. Placing the empty cup on the counter then headed to the living room to get in line for a hug.
