(Another lil' fun fic I wanted to do that was inspired by one of my favorite PC games ever)
Chapter 1: One Fine Afternoon In The House Of Sandwiches
"I'm HOME!" a happy-go-lucky Peanut shouted as he opened the front door to his home, for he had spent most of the day at Tarot's house. His home, while not a million-dollar mansion or upscale apartment, was a lovely little home in Babylon Gardens, filled with all the amenities one needed to live. There was plenty of food and drinks in the kitchen, a peaceful atmosphere floating about the house, and, most importantly to Peanut, plenty of video games and drawing utensils. But there was something missing from this house that Peanut couldn't place a paw on. He checked the living room: Empty. He checked the bedrooms: Devoid of life. He checked the bathrooms: Not a soul in sight, though this was a blessing in disguise. He checked the garage: Nothing. He finally checked the kitchen and, like the rest of the house, it was empty save for a note on the fridge that brought a sigh of relief to him. The note, which was written on simple notebook paper, was created by his mother and read 'GONE OUT FOR THE DAY WITH DAD AND GRAPE. WILL BE BACK LATER TONIGHT!' Peanut, being known for having a wild imagination, sighed happily as he had thought they were abducted by aliens and he'd have to go and rescue them. But they weren't so he was relieved. Checking the wall-clock, he notices he has a good bit of time before the family gets home and he does have the whole house to himself so...what should he do? Well, first thing he does is make something to eat, which in this case was a sandwich using only the finest ingredients he could find in the kitchen, for he was a bit hungry, then he while he was munching away, he began to think about what he could do to past sometime before they get home. Should he boot up the Switch and play some more Dark Souls? Should he hop on Netflix and watch another episode of Love, Death, & Robots? Should he head to his room and do some more work on his latest Spot comic entitled 'Super Spot VS Ultra Spot'? All good choices, he thought, but the later sounded better and more fun to do in this time of his existence. Plus, he could throw on some music and enjoy some nice alone time! With a smile on his face, he finished his meal and ran upstairs to his room, closing the door, and grabbing all his drawing supplies that he needed, sat down at his desk, and was then surprised to see his lamp nearby shaking a little bit. He knew he just ate but he didn't think that little sandwich added that many pounds to him to the point where it shook his lamp. The only thing that shook then was his head as he, as usual, chose to ignore the lamp's odd dance moves and went to work on his comic, working on the page where Spot rescues a group of tourists from a falling tree. As he colored in the bark, he casually glances up and notices his lamp shaking again though, this time, the desk it was on began to shake too, which was followed by his bed, then his dresser then, finally, himself. "Earthquake?" he thought as he quickly grabbed all his drawing supplies and threw them into his backpack and was just about to rush downstairs to grab the Switch and exit the house when, and quite suddenly, a loud crashing sound soon entered his ears as dust and various wood particles soon filled the air and the room that was once his! But, as quickly as it began, it was all over and Peanut, coughing from the dust, looked over his shoulder from his hunched position to see if a tree had fell onto his room. What he saw next, however, wasn't a tree, nor was it anything he was familiar with. In fact, it was unlike anything of Earth that he was familiar with, even though whatever was in his room at that moment looked like it was made of steel. What was even stranger was that another noise was then heard as Peanut's attention was soon directed to a rectangular shaped object coming down said steel object, like an elevator though Peanut knew he never saw an elevator that looked like what he saw. As it hit the bottom of said steel thing, the single door opened up and a set of stairs protruded out of the box and connected with the floor below, but that wasn't as strange and weird as what Peanut would see next. For arriving out of the elevator appeared to be a man, except his head seemed to have two large domes on each side and the head itself seemed to be shaped like a cylinder. What was stranger still was that it appeared to have no legs but a single tube that was hooked to, what Peanut thought, a dome-like Roomba, which he then deduced it was how the thing moved about. Then, even stranger still? It began to speak....
"Oh dear," it said, "Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear." Peanut then watched in amazement as the thing seemingly glided down the stairs and stopped at his dresser to reset a fallen picture while quipping "Tidy up as you go. Tidy up as you go." After it was done, however, it made its way over to Peanut, which gave him a better look at it which, to his surprise, was somewhat human but overall a robot.
"Ah," The robot began "Oh I forgotten what I was going to say...Oh yes! My name is Fentible, I am the doorbot serving on this the maiden voyage of the Starship Titanic: The ship that can not possibly...er go wrong. Now, as you can see the ship, this thing behind me, we had a little 'accident', no worries, Just a scratch to the paint job. Luckily, your house was quite soft...um...what's your name?" Peanut, still a bit amazed at what he was looking at, stumbled a bit before answering "P-P-P-Peanut. I'm Peanut."
"Well, it's a pleasure to make your, Mr. Peanut." Fentible replied, extending his robotic-yet-thin arm to shake Peanut's paw, "And may I add you are a cute looking dog" the later statement making Peanut smile and blush as he returns the shake, "But it's time to get down to business and I know this is going to sound a bit odd, but we need your help urgently. Will you help?" Peanut's eyes went wide. A robot needed his help? Can this be his true calling? Without hesitation, Peanut cheerfully replied that he would help!
"Oh good," Fentible replied with a sigh of relief, "I was worried you wouldn't. But not to worries, you won't regret it...well, maybe you will, but let's get you on board any..." Suddenly, a laugh, that was more of a chuckle, then came out of Fentible's mouth, "Oh silly me, oh strange and deluded me. You need your own Personal Electronic Thing before we get you on board. We call it a PET, here." Extending his hand again, Peanut took a small device from Fentible's hand and observed what he was given.
"The PET simply keeps track of your room numbers, gives you access to all the various rooms, and allows you to contact any of the bots working on the ship." Fentible explained before looking over to the dresser and adding "Oh? What a lovely view of your house and the sky above it. I think you should take that with you." Peanut, also seeing the picture and a bit confused, nodded and placed said picture into his bag that held his drawing supplies. Fentible said then "The way this trip is going, that may be the only thing you'll see of your house ever again, but no worries. Come on." before leading Peanut up the stairs into the same elevator that he came out of, to which the stairs behind them are pulled back into the elevator and the door shuts behind them.
"It's our maiden voyage and the ship, oddly, has lost it's mind! Including some of it's crew...even me, though I do have some of my lucid moments...I only hope this is one of them" Fentible said, causing Peanut to raise an eyebrow in confusion, for he was used to all the crazy shenanigans that Tarot and the Celestials have done but this? This topped them all. But Peanut would soon see that maybe there was some loose screws inside this Fentible's head as it panicked and quipped "Oh no! Things have gone from bad to worse! I can't even find the buttons now! Could you...help? Top button. Sorry, it's my cell-point settings at times." Peanut nodded, though he was confused why Fentible had the freak-out as there was only three buttons on the panel. One was for the floor they were on, one was labeled Bilge Room, and the other was labeled Embarkation Lobby. Figuring the later was the one he meant, Peanut pressed the button and a lady voice soon entered the elevator stating 'EMBARKATION LOBBY. GOING UP!' As the elevator traveled up, Peanut looked over to Fentilble and asked "Why...do you need my help?"
"Well, you see," Fentible explained, "I'm hoping you can figure out this issue as none of us can. We're all robots you see and the ships central intelligence has been lobotomized...Sabotaged, if you ask me, and it's left us all unable to function properly and you may find that we're a bit off, for the most part. I know that I am, so it's going to be up to you. As soon as we get to the Embarkation lobby, you'll need to talk to Marsinta, she's the desk-bot and she'll check you in, though at times she can be a bit of a dragon if here settings are wrong. I understand you'd probably want something a bit nicer, but all I managed to secure for you is a SuperGalactic Traveler Class Room, but I'm pretty sure you'll manage. You could always ask her for an upgrade but be ready to duck. You'll then meet Kraig the Bell-Bot, who SHOULD, theoretically, take you to your room, if he's functioning properly. Once you are settled in and made yourself comfortable, you'll be able to get to work and figure out what's gone wrong with this ship and fixing it." While this was a lot to take it, Peanut was able to understand it: It was basically up to him to save everyone on the ship.
'EMBARKATION LOBBY' the voice once again said as the elevator stopped, leading to Fentible to reply, "Ah, here we are...I THINK we are about ready to take off again, though I'm pretty sure no one is in control so I better go down and secure things but I'll be back a bit later, Mister Peanut. Good luck!"
"Th-thank you" Peanut replied as he stepped off the elevator into the main lobby of the Starship Titanic. As the doors closed behind him and the elevator, and Fentible, went back down, all Peanut could do is look around in awe at the lobby's interior and think to himself "I'm either still at Tarot's house...or I'm really am on a space ship...This is cool!"
