Rating: G
Warning[s]: ...Robotic slash? *dashes*
05. Coffee: "And make it a real cup of coffee this time," said Scratch, slumping into his chair, "because the kind your chest compartment makes is always decaf."
44. Taboo: It had been forced into their minds as soon as they were created: Robots don't love.
37. Snakes: What Scratch didn't know was that Grounder was just as afraid of snakes as Robotnik was.
08. Doors: "Dr. Robotnik, pleaaaaase let us in..."
Slam.
12. End: Sonic removed the mural, and suddenly they found that the end of the cliff was much closer than they thought.
17. Food: Scratch and Grounder mostly subsisted on motor-oil, but it was nice to have real food once in a while, even if it did result in two robots complaining about stomachaches.
13. Fall: Grounder landed at the bottom of the hill first, but before he could get back up and move away, Scratch landed.
46. War: They'd managed to put their differences aside and learn how to sing the song, Grounder on backup and Scratch on lead: "What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!"
16. Flying: The birdlike robot, fittingly, loved to fly; the tankbot...didn't.
01. Air: If robots didn't need air, thought Grounder as he stared at the cylinder he'd pulled out of himself, how come he'd had this "Emergency Oxygen Tank" inside him this whole time?
31. Poison: As Grounder tended to a sick Scratch in his bed, Scratch reflected on the valuable knowledge he'd learned last night: Lubricants were not safe to drink.
32. Pretty: "Not really handsome; more like pretty," Grounder clarified to Throbbin' Screech.
04. Bugs: Scratch spun off Grounder's head and presented it to Dr. Robotnik, claiming, "Yeah, he's gotta be sick!"
45. Ugly: Try as he might, whenever he insulted Scratch, the other robot couldn't bring himself to sincerely say that the statuesque Scratch was ugly.
40. Spring: On Mobius, as on most planets, spring was the season of renewal and rebirth; vibrant flowers began to bloom, trees attained a fresh coat of leaves, and the two robot lackeys were given a brand-new set of parts.
28. New: Ever since the time when the newly intelligent Grounder told Scratch that he needed to work on "that squawkbox he called a voice", Scratch had been secretly trying out voice-modulator chips.
15. Flexible: Robots weren't flexible, per se; they were designed to break, not bend, so that's why their limbs were prone to coming off at the slightest provocation.
35. Roses: Grounder handed Scratch his poem: Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm a robot, and so are you.
36. Secret: Both wondered why Robotnik referred to his latest concoctions - which were often right out in the open - as "secrets."
47. Water: "Scra-atch, help, I'm rusting!"
26. Lost: Their computer brains couldn't help them navigate when they had to find their way back home.
23. Honour: Above all, the one law they'd learned and remembered was "Always obey Dr. Robotnik."
02. Apples: Scratch didn't eat, but all the same he liked to cook; his favourite dish to prepare was an apple-peach cobbler with blackberry sauce.
50. Wood: The smarter of the two could effortlessly handle tongue-twisters like "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood," whereas the dumber would stumble and give up by the fifth word.
06. Dark: The dark was typically associated with sleep for them; as such, the two robots would get groggy and cranky when the night swept in.
30. Peace: On the rare occasions when they weren't arguing, Scratch and Grounder were surprisingly sweet and amicable towards one another.
29. Old: One of Scratch's only possessions was a jaunty old fedora.
33. Rain: "Grounder, please don't say that things can't possibly get worse."
21. Head: Grounder's detachable head was liable to come off given a bit of jostling, but Scratch's head was firmly attached to his shoulders -- or so he thought.
24. Hope: As Grounder was bent down on one knee -- well, track -- he thought, Oh, gosh, please say yes.
41. Stable: Scratch, in the tutu, stumbled inelegantly until Grounder picked him up, and though Grounder was just as klutzy as he was, Scratch somehow felt safe.
27. Metal: Grounder always wondered why metal was supposed to be cold, steely, and unfeeling, when in fact -- when he hugged Scratch in fear -- it was comforting and warm.
10. Duty: On big missions, they stayed on task and remained dutifully loyal to their supreme leader; on menial tasks, however, they had a tendency to stray.
14. Fire: "You can't fire us," said Scratch, with Grounder adding "We've been your lackeys forever, your Robotnikness!"
03. Beginnings: To occupy the long stretches of time between catching that hedgehog or otherwise obeying their all-powerful leader, the two had begun to learn how to play jacks.
34. Regret: Seeing the spite in Scratch's glare made Grounder wish he had never been made.
39. Solid: Amidst all the chaos and disorder in their lives, their relationship was the only certain thing to stay.
22. Hollow: Crack the two robots open and you'd discover that they were literally hollow inside.
48. Welcome: Robotnik would seldom get new visitors, so when a stranger came to the door, Scratch and Grounder would trip over themselves trying to greet them.
43. Summer: The sweltering days of summer cause the robots' brains to go all woozy, and therefore become even more ineffectual than usual.
18. Foot: Grounder envied Scratch for many things, but above all for the fact that the latter had feet while the former settled for useless tracks.
20. Green: "I can tell it's yours, doofus," Scratch replied, snatching away the giftbox; "you wrapped it in green."
49. Winter: Both Scratch and Grounder liked winter the best, as it assured that their motherboards would stay cool.
11. Earth: Ironically, the one called "Grounder" wasn't very grounded when it came to his dreams.
42. Strange: A limitless variety of odd creatures existed on Mobius, and yet they -- the plain, run-of-the-mill robots -- were being called the weird ones?
38. Snow: In snowball fights, there was no question who would win; Grounder had a snowball-cannon attachment, after all.
07. Despair: Scratch watched, horrified, as his friend began to break down in sobs.
19. Grave: To a robot, walking into Scrap Valley was like walking into one's own grave.
25. Light: As Grounder applied a light coat of lipstick, he thought, Maybe this'll get Scratch's attention.
09. Drink: "I need a drink," Scratch said one day; when Grounder offered him motor-oil, he told him: "No, a real drink."
