'That worked up an appetite,' Ace thought walking out of the resort room with a satisfied expression. His time with Emi was so fun that he had to extend her summon time by another hour. The tantric sex doll skill was out of this world. If not for Ace's worries about making it to his uncle's ranch before dark, he would have enjoyed her company longer.
Making a quick stop at the resort convenience store for some snacks and beverages, Ace got back on the road. Feeling lonely he summoned Dame Wasp to keep him company on the road.
"Master, you called," being summoned, Dame Wasp answered Ace's call in her 1/100th form. Instead of standing on Ace's shoulder like usual, she hovered next to him.
"Rose, you mad?" Ace judged sensing her tone lacking her usual enthusiasm. She didn't seem excited to be summoned, or was it just Ace letting his guilt get the best of him?
No, it was not the usual guilt that he felt after whacking off. He felt guilty because he locked her in the toybox and stripped her access to the status screen while he played with Emi for almost two hours. In his defense, she kept using the status screen to interrupt his fun time with Emi. However, knowing that Dame Wasp just wanted to play with them he felt guilty about doing that.
"I wouldn't dare," Dame Wasp's reply made it clear that she was a little dissatisfied with Ace for locking her in the toybox and playing with Emi for almost two hours. What she had feared with the animation of Emi as toy summons was already happening despite her master promising her otherwise.
"Tell you what, I plan on commissioning the Oracle doll designers to design you a new body," Ace informed Dame Wasp believing that if she had a regular body then she could join him and Emi. It would mean twice as much fun for him and nobody would feel left out. Truth be told, this was the only way Ace could think of to ease Dame Wasp's insecurities.
"Really?" Listening to Ace's words, Dame Wasp forgot her previous complaints. She could not stay mad at her master for long anyway.
"It is about time you got an upgrade. We should buy a good curse tool crafting technique to ensure that your second enchantment is a success," Ace was serious, not just saying this to please Dame Wasp. In her current size, Dame Wasp was little help in an actual fight. She needed a regular-sized body to display the full extent of her combat prowess.
Enchanting toy summons was a huge part of Ace's innate curse tool's ability. He believed if he taught his toybox advanced curse crafting techniques using his status screen it should be able to increase its success rate of animating or enchanting toy summons by a huge margin. Considering the benefits alone it was worth a shot.
"Master, can I decide how the Oracle doll designers build my new body?" Dame Wasp requested out of the blue. It seems she had plans for her new body or she just wanted it to be better than Emi's. Only she knew.
"Why not, you know the cursed toybox's functions better than me so I will give you full creative permission for your new body's build. But just remember no fake body hair," Ace agreed to his first toy summon's request knowing that she always had his best interest in her heart.
Throughout the entire "Cyber Craft" movie franchise, there were numerous iterations of Dame Wasp's cybernetic body as it was upgraded once or twice in every movie to face the new threat. Ace's favorite was the nanobot version but he wasn't sure if the Oracle doll makers could create a life-size model of that version. So, he thought it would be best to leave it to Dame Wasp. She could be in touch with the Oracle doll makers team and design her body to the best of their abilities.
"Thank you, master," Dame Wasp expressed her gratitude. Soon, she landed on Ace's shoulder, getting comfortable, she went quiet. Thinking of a possible reason for the silence, Ace asked her, "Rose, did you already start designing your new body in your head?"
"Yes, master," Dame Wasp replied with a high-pitched voice, her excitement was apparent in her tone. She seemed to have totally forgotten the ordeal of him locking her away and playing with Emi. Ace shook his head thinking, 'She's too easy to please.'
Just then, Ace's phone rang. It was Danny calling. So, he immediately answered, "Hey, Danny."
"Don't, hey Danny me. Where are you? I need my car tonight," Danny impatiently asked. He needed his car for the movies with the girls.
"I will be there by seven will that do?" Ace asked, wondering if Danny needed the car urgently.
"That will do, but what's taking you so long?" Danny enquired worried about his car and of course his cousin.
"Went on a long drive and lost track of time, don't worry your car is fine," Ace answered knowing Danny was more worried about his car than him.
"Forget about the car. What's this I hear about you asking Mandy out on a date. Is it true?" Learning his car was fine, Danny skillfully switched the topic.
"Did Mandy tell you that? That's the only way I could get her to pick you up at the school," Ace did not bother to clarify Mandy's deceit as it did not change the fact that he still owed her a date.
"Fuck! Are you really going to take her out on a date?" Danny cussed, surprising Ace.
"I have to, that was the deal," Ace replied, not understanding why Danny's reaction was so intense. He wondered, 'Was Danny protective of who his young aunt dated?'
"Dude, are you out of your mind? She did not specify when you have to take her on a date, did she? Just push that date two or three decades in the future," Danny persuaded Ace to use a loophole to get out of his commitment to Mandy.
"That won't do. My word is my bond. Mandy has held up her end of the deal, now I have to too," Ace asserted he did not plan to break his deal with Mandy.
"My mother is going to kill me," Danny remarked confusing Ace, "Why is that?"
"She asked me to keep an eye on you two and report back to her if things get weird between you guys," Danny revealed the truth as to why he cared so much about what Ace and Mandy did. From the looks of it, he did not plan to rat out Ace or his young aunt, hence his dilemma.
"Just tell Auntie Pam everything as I plan to tell my mom. Knowing her, she will throw a fit. But it will be worse if we get caught lying. Besides, it is just a date. It's not like I plan on doing something," Ace said, not surprised that Pam asked Danny to keep an eye on Mandy and him. He knew Pam was not worried about him but Mandy as her reputation preceded her.
"That's a load of my mind," Danny sighed in relief getting an all-clear from Ace.
