Give him Two Minutes
Cubot and Orbot enter the room quietly to avoid aggravating the owner, or at least Orbot did, Cubot had very different plans and rushed into the room
while screaming. "New girl!, we are here!" His eyes looked through the dark room, searching for it's inhabitant. "Common, it just us!, where are you?"
Orbot could only watch as Cubot checked evey corner of the room, all while ignoring the new badnik standing in the side of the room. She stood taller than the both of them, not a hard feat, being close to Metal Sonic in height. The "new girl" as Cubot had named, was painted mostly in the usual red and black the doctor like so much, a symbol of good taste if someone asked Orbot, while her head was a gaudy pink, for some reason.
Orbot decided to assist Cubot on his search, pulling him by the arm and pushing him toward the owner. Her eyes light up immediately, the right one was a glaring bright red, classic doctor, while the left one was a familiar shade of green, or as Cubot so eloquently put it. "Look!, she have our eyes!, well, um, eye!"
"Did the doctor sent you?" the "Metal Amy" asked in a static tone, not a persons badnik, as it's usual. Orbot could imagine why the doctor prefered his badniks as quiet as possible, after all, he had worked with Cubot as much as Eggman had.
"Nop!, we are here to meet you!. We, doctor creations should get along!, so say hi to your new best friends!, Cubot and Orbot!" the girl stared to the enthusiastic presentation of Cubot as one would a weird stain on the wall, wondering what was going on surely. "... Rusty Rose, enforcer of the Chaos-, Eggman Empire" Rusty stopped mid phrase and corrected herself, there was story there, obviously, but that was not what they were here for.
"Right. Well, as my companion just explained, we are Cubot and Orbot, Doctor Eggman assistant." Orbot decided to take over the conversation, before
Cubot confused everything again. "My apologies for Cubot enthusiasm, his voice chip is defective. I believe that the doctor keep him around as a reminder of "what not to do" when building a badnik" Orbot decided to not bring up the many attempts to patch Cubot, and the resulting failures.
"I find that hard to believe" Rusty explained with, confidence?, it was hard to tell. "Since my arrival, Doctor Eggman has fixed me to optimal condition. He
has also replaced my old energy generator for a much superior version." She continued listing the doctor chore list "With this new chaos drive i can even choose to lea-, recognize the doctor genius and confidence" She corrected herself, the result of some progamming safety it seemed. Could she not even consider leaving the doctor? "So, i am sure that Cubot is a perfectly functional assistant, regardless of any oddities" She explained, the poor thing.
"I'm sure Cubot will surprise you, just give him two minutes" Orbot stated with confidence, if anything, he trusted Cubot to be Cubot.
Cubot took this as an invitation, of course "That's right!, there might have been some bumps on the way, but in the end i have always been there when the doctor needed" When the doctor needed him elsewhere usually "Come on!, remember that time i catched Sonic spying on us!" Orbot did, unfortunately "And i capture him all by myself!
"You defeated the doctor nemesis?" Rusty Rose asked with the closest thing to emotion Orbot had heard coming from her.
"He did not, it was a hedgehog" Orbot explained before she took Cubot stories too seriously.
"What?" And there it was, the emotionless voice was back.
"He just grabbed some hedehog from Green Hill Zone and brought it back to the base" To be fair, the doctor had been happy for that one, even put the spiky thing inside a badnik.
Pinky just stood there, perhaps trying to make sense of what she had heard, or checking her memory banks to be sure she had heard him right. Orbot just
hoped she turn off, otherwise they might have need to back to work.
"What?" She continued, finally he was getting worried about going back to building whatever the doctor wanted them to do now.
"Well, yeah. Sonic is a hedgehog remember!, Sonic the hedgehog?" Cubot insisted "But don't feel bad new girl!, you'll get your moment to shine too!"
Another uncomfortable but reasonable pause. Orbot considered leaving, before Cubot broke the new girl, but he had heard the doctor talking about making a mine, and Orbot was no miner.
"But Sonic is a blue hedgehog," She started list, still under the wrong idea of being able to convince Cubot "is a humanoid and is capable of speech" those
were some solid argument, they really were, but Cubot was Cubot.
"He was disguised!, why would he spy one us with no disguise?" Cubot insisted as if he had an argument to begin with. "Why would otherwise a hedgehog be here?!"
Orbot took the new pause of Rusty as a chance to think. Maybe the doctor should consider trying to fix Cubot again, after he could not get much worse. Of course, they had assumed that before and Cubot still achieved it, so maybe it was better keep the known devil.
"I am a hedgehog" that explained the spikes, Orbot thought "And i am here" A flawless argument, if your opposition was not Cubot.
Cubot stopped when faced with that revelation, countless of possibilities were generated by his software, and Orbot was sure that each of them was even worst than their predecessor.
"Sonic!, you are here!, and you're a badnik!" Cubot explained worried "Oh no!, if the doctor learn you are Sonic, he will disassemble you. And you don't want to know what Metal would do if he hears about this"
"What?" Three times, new record. The girl eyes appeared to dim, as Cubot jumped and hugged her. He then started with some inane speech abouth their new found friendship and protecting his fellow badnik for the rage of Eggman and Metal Sonic.
The Amy bot just stood still, unable to comprehend that, yes, Cubot was actually that dumb. Her eyes losing their light little by little in a way that
worried Orbot, if they broke the doctor new badnik while they had to be working, he would not be happy that for sure.
And then the light came back, her hands slowly grabbed Cubot shoulders. Orbot was not expecting that, did Rusty actually like Cubot, somehow,
or as it was more likely, thought he suffered of some serious malfunction and could only feel pity for him?.
"I'm gonna dump you in the ocean, Cubot" And there it was. The girl arms extended, pushing Cubot away while her hands gripped his shoulders and stopped him from escaping. Cubot started screaming about "Sonic" betrayal as Rusty flew away, most likely in direction to the ocean.
"And two minutes and a half" Orbot stated impressed, the new girl had patience, but in the end, well, Cubot was Cubot, and Orbot had been working with him for long enough.
It was a good thing that the doctor had made a Cubot recovery unit, but Orbot had to admit that he expected their first use to be related to either Eggman himself or Metal Sonic. It seemed that Cubot could surprise him even after such a long time. And the new girl was nicer than Metal, nowhere as awesome, but that bar have always been really high, all thing considered Orbot considered today a pretty good success.

I noticed that Rusty had not interacted yet with Cubot and Orbot and just had to fix it. If at some point i mixed Orbot and Cubot names, sorry, but they too similar and came up to much.
