Crunching and snapping of twigs, pitter patter of quick boots, and heavy breathing are the sounds made from 337 and Kiddotron.
The concerned robot girl can sense that this earthling does not have night vision. She finds his hand, and grabs it tightly to prevent him from tripping over uprising roots and obstructive rocks.
A slight smile escapes from 337's face, and the two continue towards their destination.
"How much further, Mr. 337? I fear I may have to charge my batteries very soon."
"Almost there, miss. Almost there."
Approaching a section of the forest that glows emerald green, Kiddotron notices that the trees have menacing eyes.
She instantly becomes alarmed.
"We are here," said 337, with a sigh of relief.
At that moment, three, snarling, dark olive green creatures begin to crawl out of the trees. Reptile-like and exposing sharp, jagged teeth, the threatening inhabitants begin to approach the two runaways.
Kiddotron instinctively switches to defense mode, ready to battle.
337 remains calm, and reaches into his jacket pocket to reveal a clear bag of jellybeans.
A peace offering.
At the sight of this sugary splendor, the aggressive creatures hault in their tracks.
With panting tongues, and toothy smiles, the pacified animals gallop towards 337 to collect their treat.
Jumping onto the earthling man, the playful beasts devour the jellybeans and begin licking 337 with gratitude.
Laughing uncontrollably on the ground, he looks up at Kiddotron, who remains standing still in shock.
"How did you know?," she inquires.
337 stands up, flashes a smile, and responds, "I know quite a bit about the wildlife that lurks in these forests. The soldiers do not have the appreciation to learn about nature like I do. They seem to only focus on things such as technology and electronics."
"You really are a special being aren't you, 337?"
Shy and modest, "I am not that special, really. ...You better lay down and charge yourself."
With that being said, Kiddotron, 337, and the three scaly creatures lay down on the mossy ground to slumber.
The last thing Kiddotron sees before she shuts her flickering eyes, is the handsome 337. She smiles, then drifts into her humming charge setting, gaining energy to continue the adventure.
