*Kris' fear of failure gripped her for a moment, but she shook it off.*
"Okay. How?"

*Brandi looked around for a moment but shrugged and sighed.*
"Maybe you should just start with something you can do at regular speed and then try to do it faster. Like running or something."

"Yeah, but then you won't be able to see me do it," *she said.* "I'll try jumping really high instead."
*She hopped for a moment in place, like a really small boxer. The athlete or the dog, actually, either one.*
"Okay."
*At first nothing seemed to happen. She was her usual flaily self. but then she fixed into her mind that she wasn't limited to human abilities, and she focused really hard on that fact, trying to ignore her lungs and muscles as they protested.
Suddenly she was flung about ten feet off the ground as she aimed, badly, for a ledge. Her fingers slipped and she came back down hard on the ground, falling over. But when she sprung up and dusted herself off, she was smiling.*
"Okay. I can do stuff. But I'm still really clumsy."

*Brandi grinned.*
"But hey...it's a start. Must be one of those mind over matter things."

*Kris grinned back.*
"I'm kind of relieved. I mean, I thought I must be a really bad Sue, you know?"

*Brandi laughed slightly.*
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I can't even sing or play the violin/piano. I guess you're a better Sue than I am."

"Aww, but you're way better at manifesting stuff. And you've got a steady boyfriend. I mean, you gotta be some kind of sue to get a Depp, right?"

*Brandi blushed slightly, but was quick to answer.*
"Hey, just name one that's not here already and he's all yours."
*She winked.*

"Really? I thought you were kinda into... sharing."
*She turned bright red.*
"It seems silly I should be able to blush. Who builds a robot that can blush?"

*It was Brandi's turn to blush.*
"Um...well...I just...didn't know if you were, you know? But yeah..."
*She bit her lip.*
"But whoever it was, it's quite fetching."

"I don't know if I am," *she said, toeing the dirt with one anachronistic sneaker.* "But it seems a pity to not find out."

*Brandi paused, biting her lip. What was she supposed to say to that? Instead she took a step closer and laced her fingers with Kris's. She smiled and leaned to kiss her softly. Not pulling away, she whispered gently.*
"I'm happy to help, if I can."
*She squeezed her hand.*

*Kris smiled easily despite her confusion.*
"Yeah... You're very helpful."
*She kissed Brandi back.*

"I do try."
*Brandi slowly moved to cradle Kris's face gently, kissing her tenderly. It was strange, and yet so marvelously perfect. She couldn't explain it, but she only knew she didn't want to stop.*

*It was weird, kissing a girl. Weird by not being weird at all, actually. Which proved that whomever had made her had totally failed at giving her robot logic. She didn't want to think about that now. She didn't want to think about Moriarty knowing her or Holmes finding out or what would happen if she and Cry-baby were in the same (bed)room, because this was ever so much more interesting and distracting.
Her arms crept around Brandi's back to hold her close.*
