Oh God, here she comes. She’s sporting that sai again, with the cute little chain and bracelet. Shall I look at her? Yes, look at her, you idiot; catch her eye, smile and give her a wink. But I can’t. This stupid, featureless face! The best I can manage is a meaningful nod and she didn’t even notice.
Acrodita! I’ve tried so hard to forget about her, but I can’t stop thinking about the way the rosy glow of dusk reflects in her chrome of her cheek. If she could only see past this colander of a face, she might realise the depth of my feelings for her. I know I could make her happy… if only she’d give me a chance… and if only I had what Microtron has between his caterpillar tracks.
Oh, for goodness’ sake, here comes that geek again. He’s obviously got the hots for me, but all he does is cower. As if I needed the attentions of another wimp. I wonder what Medalg is doing tonight.
Liddle Atlantean, you’re the wisest friend I have, you’ve got to tell me how I can win her over.
Thanks for your faith in me. It’s not misplaced. You know, we Atlanteans had a thriving civilization for centuries when the rest of the world was still banging rocks together. We may have been midgets but we had a culture and science beyond human imagining. Flying machines, towering architectural edifices, art and culture, you name it. And it all came to naught when some snecker pulled the plug out; what sublime folly!
Yeah, I know all that, but you’ve gotta help me here with Acrodita or I’ll go crazy. It’s as if she’s impervious to all emotion, like a steel phalanx, but she’s so beautiful, I just gotta have her. Can you help? Please? I mean, should I come on strong with her? I think she might respect that. I’ll just go up to her and lay down the law, then she’ll know I’m no wimp. She might even want me to push her around a bit.
I don’t advise it, my old friend. Despite her alluring appearance, Acrodita is a battle hardened warrior who has slit the face of many an opponent foolish enough to underestimate her speed, agility and downright vicious disposition. I expect she might garrotte you on the spot just for looking at her wrongly.
Well then, how do I go about it?
Back in Atlantis, we knew how to woo a lady and make her feel special. When I think of all the charming young Atlantean ladies I courted! I would always sweeten a lady up first with a bunch of the pretty flowers that grew in abundance on the green banks around the city. Then I would recite some romantic poetry or sing a love song. We had a sensitive, cultured approach to romance in Atlantis. And I pulled hundreds of bints this way; believe me, boy, they couldn’t get their knickers down fast enough.
Hmm, I always suspected my friend the Liddle Atlantean was a trifle pervy. Oh well, In the absence of anyone else to consult, I’ll give his advice a try. The trouble is, there aren’t any flowers around here.
Fair Acrodita, forgive my boldness, but please accept this pretty diode I picked for you. Roses are red, violets are blue, but this little diode is fairly nice too. I think you’re lovely, any chance of a date?
Goodness, the geek has finally plucked up the courage to ask me out! I haven’t the heart to tell him it’s a capacitor. I suppose he’s fairly amusing, in a geeky sort of way, and I’ll get a better conversation out of him than I will out of Medalg, even if Medalg is beefier. Okay, geek, you’re on.
Well, I never thought it would work, but I suppose the moral is that you can do worse than to take advice from a pervy midget survivor from an extinct ancient race. And also watch out – you might get more than you bargained for! Now, if you don’t mind, we’d like a little privacy. It’s time to feed Acrobaby and he gets a bit distracted with others around.
