Shelly was pissed.

Absolutely pissed.

Kicking open doors like an angry mob kind of pissed.

She had kicked the door open to the cafe so hard she left a dent in it, making Sprout and Cosmo both jolt and hug behind the counter. Shelly didn't care, she couldn't care, she just walked over to the counter silently before setting a note down.

"Bring Glisten's favorite donuts and coffee to Vee's room, code glitter dark blue." Shelly said softly, and without another word, she left. The two looked at the note, Sprout soon gently picking it up and reading it silently. "Vee needs food, her battery is super low, come asap", the note read. Sprout nodded once and folded it back up before Cosmo could see it.

"Get Glisten's food, Veronica needs breakfast too, I'll make that for her." Sprout lied casually, getting a simple nod from his coworker and best friend.

"Got it Sprout!"

Shelly now was in the elevator again, hands folded neatly in front of her. She was twitching just slightly here and there, her eyes full of rage, yet calm. Her tail wagged slowly, but not from joy. From pure, unbridled rage. She left the elevator when it opened to the toon rooms and went right to Vee's room, opening the door gently and quietly. Vee laid on her couch, low battery warning on full display, unmoving from her warm blanket with her screen half buried in her favorite pillow. One hand held an antennae, the other held her stegosaurus plush tight, her body curled up like a croissant. Veronica was now there, stroking the side of her screen, holding her charger. Good.

"I'm going to go talk to them now, miss Veronica." Shelly stated, her voice hardly showing any emotion. Veronica just nodded once.

"Thank you Shelly, I appreciate it. I don't want this to happen either..." Veronica very softly replied, pausing when Vee gripped her arm.

"Continue." Vee weakly, quietly spoke. Veronica nodded and silently went back to petting her, Shelly now smiling a little. At least she's talking again... One word at a time, but talking. That's good.

"Remind her I love her for me, will you?" Shelly softly asked, making Veronica smile.

"I will remind her everytime she asks, don't worry Shelly. She'll be okay."

Shelly, upon hearing that response, just nodded once and closed the door. Her anger may have soothed a little bit, but... It won't be calm for long.

Once she got to her true destination, the door was kicked yet again, the fossil trembling hard with the fury only one who was about to witness a loved one get hurt from something stupid would have. Delilah and Arthur sat across the room, both staring in shock.

"Miss Fossilian, if you are upset about something, please make an appointment so we can talk it out in private." Delilah calmly stated.

"Shut. The. Fuck. Up." Shelly snarled in reply, storming right over to her desk and slamming her claws in it so hard it trembled beneath her. Shelly's expression remained blank, but the pure fury in her eyes explained everything.

"You, fucking morons, you think you can just tell someone that Vee's getting fucking replaced and have nobody talk about it?" Shelly asked, her hands gripping the wood tight, leaving scratches on the desk. Arthur blinked, silently terrified. Delilah just smiled like it was just your average Tuesday.

"Shelly my dear, why would we care what you think about that outdated machine? We only want to help her succeed, isn't that what you would want too?"

"YOU WANT HER FUCKING GONE. YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY THAT SHIT TO MY FUCKING FACE, DELILAH. YOU DON'T GET TO PRETEND YOU GIVE A CRAP." Shelly snapped right back, tears filling her eyes as she finally showed how she truly felt. Heartbroken. Heartbroken and desperate for her girlfriend back, her real girlfriend, the one that always glitched when she laughed too hard. The one that would sometimes blurt out facts about whatever Shelly was rambling to her about due to her programming. The one that twitched while she giggled, loafed on her lap like a kitten and made robotic purrs if you scratched the right spot under her chin. The one who was obnoxiously loud whenever she was excited. The one who couldn't express herself well, but was so easy to understand once you got how she worked. The one who was brutally honest with you, then gave you comfort and helped you achieve your goals. The one who stargazed like the sky was built just for her every single night.

The real Vee Version 1.

"YOU SAT DOWN AND LOOKED AT THAT PERFECT ROBOT, AND WENT 'NO, THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH, WE NEED A VERSION FUCKING TWO'. YOU TWO ARE ABSOLUTE LUNATICS."

"You... You told her fucking HANDLER of all PEOPLE, and now Vee won't even GET THE FUCK OUT OF BED." Shelly continued as she let out a quiet cry, her body trembling now.

"Shelly, it's not like that, surely you understand how much she bugs out and how much of a problem it is-" Arthur attempted to reason, but Shelly just let out a shaky sob.

"Her glitches make her who she is. Her twitches don't hurt anyone. Her blurting out facts in my conversations with her just means she's listening. She is so perfect... You're just fucking blind... You just see her for her code, you both do. She's much more than just a TV show host... She's much more than just a robot... She's my best friend and I love her. I LOVE her for who she REALLY is. Okay?! Maybe try understanding her- try talking to her like I do every single fucking day. Try being her best friend... Her everything... Just for one damn day... Maybe then you'll understand just how special, perfect and beautiful she is. A version two is a fucking costly mistake... Don't. Make. It." Shelly sternly told them, then stood up right, wiped her tears away with a scary calmness to her, then turned around.

"I don't care what punishment I get for that. I genuinely don't. I could care less about myself. Just don't touch my Vee-Bee." She stated, then walked out, slamming the door with all her strength behind her. Arthur was stunned. Delilah was smiling wider.

"Del... Did... She just confess to being a lesbian for Vee?" Arthur asked after a long minute of silence. Delilah just laughed like he told a joke.

"Oh honey, she did way more than just that. Oh this is so beautiful, a little toon in love with a robot that doesn't give a care about anyone or anything, how adorable."

"I'm married. Also that's... Not how Vee is supposed to be, Del."

"Nope, but trust me Arth, we're making the right decision with a version two, she's just salty her beloved has to go bye bye." Delilah calmly said, going right back to programming. Arthur just sat there, thinking hard about this, debating his decisions. Wondering about the options they had, wondering if the other toons felt that way but only Shelly was bold enough to say it.

"I'm going to have a chat with the handlers tonight, about the cursing. I think it's important to stop them from learning those foul words at any cost... I'll talk to you later, Delilah." Arthur softly spoke, slowly getting up. Delilah just nodded once, flicking her long hair over her shoulder.

"Goodbye Arthur, please remember the coffee this time."

"Will do, Delilah."

Back in Vee's room, Vee was finally sitting up at least, looking depressed as shit but up on her couch, looking over Glisten's shoulder. The mirror was holding a book, which he had just finished reading to her.

"Any better, my bestest friend?"

"I still want to throw myself into a garbage compactor."

"At least you're saying full sentences again..." Glisten mumbled, rubbing an eye tiredly. Brightney just clapped her hands together, smiling like an idiot.

"Weeeeell who wants to try playing Uno with the world's saddest gameshow host?" She suggested, which only got a slight giggle from Vee in response. Glisten gasped at it, though he soon pouted again when Vee just went right back to sadly messing with her favorite plush.

"Vee darling, would maybe a little coffee help?" He tried, offering her his coffee. Vee just gently pushed it away, shaking her head.

"A long nap would help."

"We can let you sleep if you want, Vee! Me and Glisten can leave-"

"Different kind of nap."

The room fell silent after that, neither of the toons knowing how to comfort her after that one. However, they were soon met with a saving grace- Shanon. Surprisingly. It wasn't as surprising when Shelly walked in after her, wearing Vee's merch- the entire outfit was Vee's merch. The shirt, the pants, the bowtie, even having Vee's antennae headband on and had a Vee plush in her arms. If anyone was Vee's #1 fan, it was definitely Shelly, she would've looked just like a normal fangirl if she wasn't a toon.

"Vee, please tell me you're okay-"

"I'm okay, Shelly." Vee quickly reassured, offering a silent hug afterwards. Shelly bolted over, hugging her tight behind Glisten, giving her a long, loving kiss soon after. For the first time that week, Vee's tail wagged. Glisten looked like he'd won the lottery as he got up to give them space, Brightney- who was sat at Vee's desk- just grinned like a doofus. Shanon looked at Veronica, the two soon smiling and waving at each other silently.

"Lemme guess, she dragged you to the gift shop so she could dress as a Vee Fangirl?" Veronica shyly and quietly asked, making Shanon laugh.

"Nope~! She actually got it all herself, I had no idea she had any of that until today." Shanon admitted, sitting beside Veronica and looking over at her with a huge smile. Veronica smiled back, a faint blush forming on her face.

"Hey... Shanon... If... It's okay, could we exchange phone numbers later- I want to talk to you more often, if... That's alright." Veronica quietly asked, nervous as hell. Shanon just smiled even more and stole the phone from Veronica's hands, then quickly put her phone number in her contacts before putting her phone right back in her hands.

"Don't worry, you'll always be able to talk to me, Veronica. You're one of my best friends, I'm always here for you, got it! You're stuck with me forever!" Shanon teased, hugging the other tightly in excitement. Veronica just hugged back, burying her embarrassed face in the other's shoulder. Vee and Shelly looked at them, Vee now in Shelly's lap, both bundled in Vee's special blanket. Glisten was also looking, Bright was too deep in reading Vee's manual to notice.

"I don't think a single soul in Gardenview is straight, darlings." Glisten whispered to the two, making Vee laugh one of her accidentally way too loud and slightly glitched laughs as her antennae raised fully for the first time since the news of a possible version two was announced.

"That's so valid though!" Vee cheerfully stated, getting a kiss on the top of her head from her beloved fossil.

"So are you, Vee."

"No I'm not, I belong in the garbage compactor still."

"You belong in my arms, getting smothered in love and dinosaur facts." Shelly firmly stated, making Vee laugh once again. Her arm involuntarily twitched, but nobody batted an eye at it, it was just a small Vee Glitch.

"Sure, Shelly, I dare you to prove that."

"Fine then."

Shelly immediately pulled Vee into a deep kiss, holding onto her like their lives depended on it. Vee gripped her in the same way, tears running down her screen as she silently gave Shelly all her love like it was the last time they'd ever be allowed to kiss. Glisten looked at Brightney, who soon looked up at him, then weakly smiled. He gave a silent thumbs up, and she nodded, closing the book gently and setting it down on Vee's desk. They'll find a way to stop them from making a version two another day. Today, they needed all the support Vee could get, which was why the two soon were hugging Vee with Shelly after their kiss ended. Vee needed her best friends, and they knew it, and knew she really appreciated them all being there even if she didn't say anything about it.

"So... Anyone still down for Uno with the world's saddest game show host?" Vee asked after a bit of being cuddled by her favorite people, smiling wide when Glisten pulled out the glitter covered deck they always played with.

"Loser has to go get snacks for everyone." Bright joked, but Vee just smiled competitively at it.

"Better not lose then, I'll hold you to your word." Vee teased, making the trio of toons laugh a bit. They all knew they had more than enough snacks in Vee's room, they also knew Vee loved competition though, so nobody disagreed to it. Especially since Vee was finally smiling her awkward, genuine smile again, tail wagging, happy twitching here and there. They all looked so happy to see her act like herself again, the self she only let very few know about. The funny, glitchy, loud Vee that screamed happily whenever her beloved girlfriend won a game, the Vee that teased the hell out of Glisten and laughed obnoxiously loud with him, the Vee that helped Bright get every fact right with a huge smile on her face.

The Vee they all cherished immensely, and would never allow to be replaced, no matter what. ♡
