"Waxing the floor?" Nabiki asked as he noticed the girl busy at said task.
"Yes, Kasumi-sama is working out things for me to do around here," said Hotaru cheerfully.
Clank!
Nabiki stood back. Just like in that old comic book, slap a large magnet on her back and she went stiff.
"Nabiki-san," Hotaru said, reaching around and pulling the magnet off. "I really appreciate you wanting to play games, but I'm a little busy right now."
"Oh right, I can see that," said Nabiki, crossing magnets off the list. What else would work?
Nabiki headed into the kitchen and beheld a strange sight. There was Kasumi and Hotaru, wearing identical aprons and chopping up vegetables.
"Dinner isn't ready yet," began Hotaru.
Nabiki whipped out her secret weapon, pointed it, and pressed the button.
"I did make some cookies with Kasumi-sama's help," said Hotaru holding out a tray. "Oh dear. What's that for?"
Nabiki frowned momentarily as the "Universal Remote" proved to have no effect on androids. "Oh nothing." Well, scratch that plan.
"Don't spoil your appetite too much, Nabiki," chided Kasumi. "Hotaru-chan is being a big help and we'll have a celebretory dinner tonight."
Nabiki took one of the cookies and bit into it as she tried to think of ways that.... "Kasumi, did you make this?"
"No, Nabiki, it was mainly Hotaru," Kasumi responded.
"Oh, you're far too modest, Kasumi-sama," said Hotaru.
"Now now, Hotaru."
"Sorry. I meant Kasumi-sensei!"
Kasumi nodded and returned to the chopping, followed after a moment by her younger shadow.
Nabiki retired to her room, trying to find other ways of seperating the machine from her secrets. How else did they stop robots in those stories?
