"Next. Up." My dad said. We've been up all night doing this. "Not in the boot, Dummy. Right here. You got me? Stay put. Nice." Then he turned to me. "Want to do this part?" I smiled and nodded my head.
"You're no benefit at all. Move down to the toe. I got this." I said to myself. Wow! I'm spending time with my dad! It's been so long. This is great! "Okay, I'm sorry, am I in your way?" Talking to Dummy. My dad looking at what I'm doing. He was smiling. For the first time I have ever seen. "Up. Screw it. Don't even move."
"You are a tragedy." My dad said talk to Dummy. "I think that you might be the new Tony Stark." He pats my back.
"Well, when you are gone to trips, I go down here and build things till I finish them." I said not even looking up. Then I took a step back and let my dad look at the leg that we designed. Then he looked at me.
"Record this." I got up and get the camera. "Okay, let's do this right."
"Start mark, half a meter and back, and center." I told my dad. Then my dad let out a big breath.
"Dummy, look alive. You're on standby for fire safety." He said. "You roll." He pointed at another robot. "And you, stand back." He said talking to me. "Okay. Active hand controls." And I saw my dad doing a little dance move. "We're gonna start nice and easy."
"And three, two, one!" I said. I saw my dad fly and hit the ceiling. I tried to hold on to my laughter. And he hit the floor. Dummy had a fire extinguisher and used it on dad. "You okay?" I tried not to laugh. Me and my dad were on the computer looking for the iron for the arms. We both took a sip from our coffee. When we walked to the table. He was looking at the pieces for the arm. My dad was putting them together piece by piece. Then he put his arm to the hologram of the piece. I helped him lock in the part of the arm. We both looked at the door. And we saw Pepper.

"You like her?" I asked. I was jotting down the measures.
"Pepper? No, I mean-" His words faded when she came in. "Up two. Alright, set that." He said. Pepper had coffee, a box, and a smaller box.
"I've been buzzing the both of you. Did you guys hear the intercom?" Pepper asked.
"Yeah, everythings... What?" My dad said.
"Obadiah's upstairs." She said.
"Great!"
"And Crystal, Marco wanted me to give you this." She gave me the smaller box. My dad looked at me.
"Who's Marco?" He crossed his arms.
"Um, a guy that goes to my school." I said. Then Pepper saved me.
"Anyway."
"Great, I'll be up." He said.
"Okay." Pepper walking towards us. "I thought you said you were done making weapons."
"It is." Me and my dad said at the same time. Wow! Same time! Does that mean we're like twins? I mean I was born on my dad's birthday, so that means something? Right? " This is a flight stabilizer. It's completely harmless." Then I took a step back. I covered my ears. And I saw my dad fly backward. I tried not to laugh at him. "I didn't expect that." I couldn't hold my laugh so I laughed so hard that I fell to the ground. When me and my dad got cleaned up we went upstairs. Then I saw pizza! Ew, Obadiah is here. He and my dad talked. I opened the box and I grabbed a slice. Wait, it's from New York! Awesome! All I heard from Obadiah and my dad was Blah Blah Blah. Let me eat my pizza in peace. Look at you so nice and warm, I think I love you. I can marry you right now, right here. Crystal you are talking to food. I grabbed a second slice. And all I heard was from my dad was,
"I'm being responsible! That's a new direction for me, for the company." Then I zoomed out again. And I felt a tug. "Come on Crystal."
"Come on Tony!" Obadiah yelled out.
"We'll be in the shop." My dad said grabbing the pizza box. Yes more pizza!

"I'm trying to turn this thing around, but you gotta give me something. Something to pitch them. Let me have the engineers analyze that. You know, draw up some specs." Can we leave dad? For a 14-year-old girl, she wants her pizza and go downstairs and finish the armor.
"This one stays with me." My dad said pointing at his chest. "That's it, Obie. Forget it."
"Alright, well, this stays with me, then." He grabbed the pizza box from my dad's hands. Nooo! Not the pizza box! You monster. "Go on, here, you can have a piece." He said talking to us. "Take two."
"Thank you." When I went to grab my pizza, I grabbed four slices and ran downstairs. "Good Night Obie!" My dad yelled and followed me downstairs. When we were done eating our pizza slices, my dad wanted to record again.
"Day 11, test 36, configuration 2.0. For lack of a better option, Dummy is still on fire safety. If you douse me again, and I'm not on fire, I'm donating you to a city college." He said. No! Not Dummy! Anything but Dummy! "All right, nice and easy. Seriously, just gonna start off with one percent thrust capacity. Crystal countdown please." I nodded.
"And three, two, one." I said. And my dad didn't hit a wall! That's great! He's actually flying!
"Okay. Please don't follow me around with it, either." My dad saying to Dummy. Chill dad, let Dummy be Dummy. "Cause I feel like I'm gonna catch on fire spontaneously. Just stand down! If something happens, then come in. And again let's bring it up to 2.5. Crystal count!"
"Three, two, one." I said he was flying. "This is great!" I smiled. I pushed up my glasses. "Dad, be careful with cars!"
"Okay, this is where I don't want to be! Not the car, not the car! Table! Crystal watch out!" I bend down. My dad did a scary laugh. "Could be worse! Could be worse! We're fine! Okay." Then my dad landed perfectly on the floor.
"NO!" Me and my dad said to Dummy.
"Yeah, I can fly." I walked to my dad to give him a high five.
