"FINALLYYY!"

Draco nearly fell out of his chair as a high-pitched shriek of delight assaulted his eardrums. Instead, he clapped his hands to his ears and muttered curses against whoever had invented the idea of 'Bionicle'.

Lilian ran into his room, a large -- and by large I mean almost the same size as the doorway -- box floating behind her. "They're heeerree!"

"I heard." Draco didn't remove his hands from his ears. "Go away and go spend a few hours away from me while you build those robot-thingies."

"They are not ROBOTS, they are biomechanical beings!"

"Whatever. Go away."

"Hmphf! Non-believer." Lilian flounced away, her box floating behind her and narrowly missing the doorframe.

Later...

"Auntie Lily, what're you doing?"

Lilian swore as her fingers slipped again. "Getting my fingers mutilated by these pieces, but I'm going to finish building these, even if my fingers are black and blue by the end of it!"

"What's that?" Agnes pointed to a red creature with short, clubbed horns.

"Gahdok, one of the two Queens of the Bohrok swarms."

"What are Bohrok?"

Lilian paused in her voluntary mutilation of her fingers to point to the six balled-up creatures on her desk and the six small bipedal things behind them. "Those. Tahnok, red; Gahlok, blue; Nuhvok, black; Lehvak, green; Pahrak, brown and Kohrak, white. And there are Bohrok Va, which I've placed behind their respective Bohrok."

"Ohh..." Agnes picked up the Tahnok, then yelped and dropped it. "OW! The HECK! It's HOT!"

As soon as she dropped it, the red Bohrok unfurled itself and made a chi-chit noise. I stared at it, the Bahrag -- Cahdok, the blue Bahrag -- I was creating forgotten. "The hells?!"

"So... it's not supposed to do that?"

"HELLS no!"

"... And those pieces aren't supposed to be coming together by themselves?"

I blinked and looked down. Sure enough, the pieces of Cahdok were rapidly forming themselves into a recognizable figure. I looked over at the canisters that held other sets, and noticed them rattling. "Uh-oh..."

"BANZAI!"

I looked up, just in time to see the very green figure of Lewa Mata falling down on my face from above. "Eep."

(('Tis an adventure! Kinda. ))

The creature looked up at me.
"Are you going to pick me up or not? Cause it's rather weird just seeing the underside of your chest, let me tell ya."

[Mousey]

((JUST so you know, Bohrok are incapable of speech.))

Lewa landed on my face, and his mask stared into one of my eyes. He stared at me, then started smacking me on the forehead with his axe. "Giant! DIE, giant, die!"

I scowled and plucked him off my face. "Stop that, Lewa."

"LEMME GOOO!"

"I'll save you!"

I looked up to see Tahu falling at me, his little sword afire. "Ahh, shit," I muttered as I moved to the side. "Not only are you brats ALIVE, you've got your powers, too?!"

"Who are you calling a brat?"
Kevin walked in, weilding a broom handle. "Oh no you don't! I am not dealing with you again!"
"Hey Kev."
"Every year you tear the place apart!"
