He had, for his part, stayed mostly out of her way for the better part of the hour. Only occasionally did he risk life and limb to reach in, stop Sparkling Sunrise long enough to point to the instructions, and then pull back out and away from the drill. Honestly, he liked it this way. Even if things were a touch more haphazard than if he'd been doing it alone, it wasn't taking three days like it would if he had been doing it alone. Story could appreciate that.
His friend stopped and he cocked his head at the table legs.
"Are they supposed to-" He was cut short by Sunrise's sudden movement towards the table and subsequent dismantling of the wonky appendages.
What on earth had gone wrong? They had put screws into holes and washers onto screws and fitted weird peg things into holes and then into other holes... And, yet, they still had an overabundance of tube thingies that and screws of various sizes and of
course nothing was to scale on paper.
He ran his hands through hair that was already doing a fine Einstein impression and let out a long sigh.
"... Wanna go get meatballs?" He laughed as he said it, but was he completely joking?
Probably.
Maybe.
He looked at the instructions again with an intent focus on the pieces that were supposedly required, and then he shifted his attention the parts they'd used.
"Ohhhhhhh," He said knowingly, and it took him almost ten seconds to let out.
He replaced, with much finagling and cussing softly under his breath, one type of tube thing from inside holes in the legs and replaced them with a nearly identical tube thing. Story then cautiously borrowed the drill from Sparkling Sunrise and put the rest of the table together.
And finally- It was done.
He let out another long sigh and shook his head, but he was grinning from ear to ear.
"That was dumb."
