The scavenger hunt continued.  With their bubble wrap spent, WALL-E and EVE had focused their full attention on getting back to work.  MO was on the job as well, but as usual, he was consistently distracted by all the Foreign Contaminents surrounding him; the cleaner-bot was adjusting his parameters of just what constituted a Foreign Contaminent, but it was proving to be something of an uphill battle.  While his companions stuck together, searching and digging up respectively, MO found himself following a particularly threatening (to him) Contaminent into a small clearing within the fields of junk.

As he finished cleaning up the last of the fiendish dirt clods, the cleaner-bot suddenly found his vision obscured by soft blue light.  "Evah?" he squeaked curiously, looking up to its source.

But no...it wasn't the Probe.  Well, not exactly.  It did...kind of look like her, though.  A pair of trash cubes stacked on top of each other, with a white circle on top holding a pair of blue spheres in place...and a lamp sticking out of the side of the top cube.  "Hm..." the droid hummed curiously, ultimately deciding to fetch WALL-E and EVE to help investigate.

It took some doing to convince the pair to come, but after a while, MO succeeded in showing them the odd statue...and once he did, both acted a bit embarassed, a little shy, but also...strangely pleased.  It made little sense to the Cleaner Bot; was there some secret to this statue they knew that he didn't?  It only got stranger when EVE, with an amused giggle, zoomed in close to the statue.  She examined it briefly, scanner-light and all, then quickly got to work pulling out a spare cube, some nearby poles, a pair of old tires, and two tin cans.  

Moving with lightning speed, she assembled the pieces together: the tires stood upright, propping the cube up between them.  One pole went through the cube at the top, its upper portion bent a bit so it could hold the two tin cans in place.  The other two poles wound up sticking out of the cube's front.  With the last piece placed, EVE nodded in satisfaction.  "WALL-E." she said sweetly.  

The waste allocator whistled, impressed, then cuddled close to EVE.

MO watched the whole thing as if the two were aliens from another universe.  Now he knew there was something here he was missing.  Of course, he quickly forgot all about that as a trail of upturned dirt caught his optics...
Another missed Track, this time "La Vie En Rose". This time the tardiness was because, plain and simple, I really struggled on what to write for this one. Thankfully, once the idea fell into place, it was smooth sailing from there.
