Once upon a time in a magical land called The Bay Area, Turtle was about close up shop. What was supposed to be less than a 3 hour task turned out to be a nightmare install with one part refusing to budge. Turtle was doing a manual rack swap in Lola when one part of the install, the removal of the steering column’s intermediate shaft hit a roadblock because it was stuck, just frozen in place. Without the room to leverage a proper hammer, he sought help on the netz but to no avail. Shelly wasn’t much help as she was distracted on her phone and Turtle didn’t feel much like telling her what to do. Feeling frustrated, he packed up and called it a night.
The very next day, Turtle was supposed to find a solution to the stuck shaft, but instead found himself staring at status updates and photo albums.
He was browsing his FB friend B3ar’s album because he admired that she is very capable of doing her own work and even driving / drifting her own cars! A true enthusiast for the cars she owns and still a girl!
As Turtle lazily flipped through his phone, he jokingly made a remark that set a series of events in motion.
For you see, Shelly is a very special Anime Robot girl (See ‘Chapter 8: When Turtle Met Shelly’: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1123#p10623
). Stan made sure of it as he endowed Shelly with very special abilities, magical abilities if you believe more in fantasy than science fiction, unbeknownst to Turtle.
And also unbeknownst to Turtle is that Shelly’s programming dictates that she does what Turtle tells or asks her to do, which is unfortunate, because he doesn’t ask her to do a whole lot.
Turtle’s last remark triggered something within Shelly. It would appear that Stan installed some sort of teleportation device in her somewhere! Yeah, Stan! Yeah, Science!
Suddenly a strong breeze encircled Turtle and Shelly.
The breeze strengthened into a swirling vortex! Turtle covered up and closed his eyes, he just couldn’t take all the debris flying right into his face! But at least there weren’t balls in the air.
Now you see them,
Now you don’t. Turtle, Shelly and Lola vanished from The Bay Area. Never to be heard from again.
No, that’s not right. Shelly done bent time and space. They’re embarking on a fantastic voyage.
End Part 1.
