"Hello everyone....Astro here. I think you all deserve a simple time line so you can know where these little adventures take place. I met Atlas five years after I was "born" ("Brought on line" is the technical definition actually) he was "born" in the same year as I was. Our first meeting wasn't friendly at all of course. Atlas was on an anti-human hating tear and I became ground zero for his sworn war to put every human under a robot boot. For three years we had a fist swinging, cursing demolition derby....with me getting most of the demolition out of it."

"It was three years later after this little frakus between us started that I had my body mod because I....and please don't ask how it came about because I'm clueless...I fell in love with a boy in my school. A year after that...and after much punishment...I became romantically involved with Atlas. ten years after we had our fist fight with each other and 16 years after we were "born", we came out as Metro City's first openly gay robot couple....though Atlas doesn't see the need or the bother to cement things with a marriage but I'm ok with that."

"My sister Zoran though? She's gonna have to take some time to get used to Atlas not liking girls. She had a crush on him and she didn't take the whole gay idea well at all. But anyway...that's what's happened to this point. I'm in the process now of finding us a place to live since I'm no longer legally bound to live with Doctor O'Shay any more and he "blessed" our relationship together."

"This little adventure of ours (Atlas and I) happened at the later half of the 7th year since our first fight. At this time, we developed a steady relationship between us, though by all means not free of trouble. Atlas has always been a social justice warrior for robots, which by warrior I mean? He's at "war" with wealthy humans for robots needs and concerns like better maintenance benefits and adjustable living wages. Atlas especially has it out for the Tokugawa company, one of the biggest manufacture corporations in all Japan run by the industrial and business genius, Anatano Ayase Tokugawa. Atlas is Tokugawa's tornado of trouble and sorry to say....my pain in the butt and not because Atlas is putting the pain "in me".....get that?"

"Anyway....one day he really went overboard which caused me to do some seriously creative artwork to spirit him away from Metro City and allow tensions to cool down and good thing that Atlas pulled his silly stuff when I was planning to go to Egypt again on a grant request. It turned out to be a very crazy yet very exciting excursion into ancient Egyptian history."

Japan Air Lines (JAL) flight 504

Destination: Cairo, Egypt

Astro stopped reviewing the information package PDF he had downloaded to his hard drive and looked over at Atlas who sat in the window seat. As expected, he was still pouting. The red skin colored boy bot gave Astro an upset eye and looked back out the window brooding....

"What?" Atlas said annoyed.

"Are you going to be cross with me the whole time?" Astro asked.

"No." Atlas snorted quietly. "But right now I'm still upset at you for pulling me along."

Astro sighed..."Atlas? Please....I had to....."

"You "had" to?" Atlas snorted. "Do you know how much time I spent being careful in the execution of my operation? I spent two hours carefully wrap sealing every tire assembly I dropped into Tokyo Bay. I even marked where they are so fat ass Tokugawa could get them back. No one got hurt, nothing was broken and you zapped me in my bed....unfair and uncool Astro. That's why I'm cross with you."

"But you took the tires off every car and truck! You've costed people time and pay and the amount of temporary discomfort you caused with this little "social action" of yours makes this a felony charge...I had to get you away so things would cool down. I know zapping you unconscious while we were sleeping was a low thing to do but please...." Astro said sadly.

Atlas threw a hand up...."Stop talking. Your whimpy sounding voice is really starting to annoy me worse." The red boy bot snorted. "You love trying to be a match maker between us and those a-hole flesh bags but you really suck at it."

Astro sighed...."Atlas?"

Atlas whipped his head around and frowned. "I told you Astro....shut...the fuck..up." He snorted with a finger in Astro's face.

After an hour of silence however...Atlas shook Astro awake. "Hey? I'm sorry."

Astro rested his head on Atlas's shoulder. "I'm sorry I was so abrupt with you but you would have resisted me otherwise."

"Yeah....I would have." Atlas said as he frowned. "That Tokugawa...like he can't spare just a little of the money he makes to give our brothers and sisters simple maintenance checks every six months. We're not asking for a ton of options. I'm not stupid and unreasonable am I?"

Astro giggled warmly...."You're a bull in a China shop."

"Mmmm....so what the hell does "blimp nose" (Doctor O'Shay) have you slaving over now?" Atlas groaned.

Astro slapped him in the chest. "Stop calling him insults? And I'm not his slave. If it hadn't been for my "Master"...you'd be on a junk pile. I practically had to sell myself into prostitution to convince Reno to give you that life saving upgrade. I have to justify my operating costs you know? Unlike you I don't live on free bee monopoly money."

"I know that?" Atlas snorted. "So what are we going to do in Egypt?"

Astro took out a USB cable. "I have the PDF files. Maybe you should take some time to read them rather than me sit here and give you a very boring school lesson?"

Atlas plugged into Astro's hard drive and downloaded the research grant files; skimming them over briefly as Astro started to read a PDF book that was projected onto his eye lenses...

"Pi-Hahiroth? (Pie-ha-hear-oth) sounds like something out of Star Wars." Atlas said. "So? This is a long sought city?"

"Yeah." Astro replied. "Said to be the seat of Nemie culture in upper Egypt. It was by the Nile around the time King Tut was returning from his father's failed mistake at Armana and was a huge trade center and port. Of course over thousands of years the Nile shifted and the city became lost. It's also in the Bible too. If we could find it, it would confirm one of the places Moses and the Israelites passed through on their way out of Egypt. The location too would also point to them passing into Saudi Arabia, which is where many scholars have said the true Mount Sinai is located."

"But...that's a secondary goal." Astro said. "The city was also the central worship place of the Egyptian God Anubis and it could be somewhat intact...call it touched over by "fate and faith" if you want to look at it that way because of the ancient writings of "calamity"...."natural disaster"....."Acts of God."

"In other words..." Atlas snorted back. "We're going into a big fat sand box to go look for a city that hasn't got hair one on a road sign or a map. How exciting."

Astro felt Atlas's hand...."I thought time away with me by yourself was something you'd look forward too?"

"Hmph..." Atlas replied. "In bed yeah? Constant companion? I'll be needled to death by your incessant lack of a deep boy voice."

Atlas gave Astro a side glance and giggled...."Actually....you know how I feel....just don't "prance" too much ok? You have a nasty habit of "telegraphing the rainbow."

Astro slapped Atlas in the arm. "Oh screw you!"

"Nope..." Atlas snickered back...."You are bottom "boy" I am the dominant Top "Tarzan"....get it right oh Indiana Boner."

"Chuckles"...."I think we're going to have a good time with this Atlas. And I'll tell you what? When we find the city? I'll give you all the credit for it. That will give you big percentage points back home to counter Towashi and Tokugawa's bitch fest to nibble your ass off."

Atlas suddenly raised a finger..."Oops...text from Bender."

"What's he saying?" Astro asked.

"Hello twirps. If you find something in gold? Don't forget me. Since I'm playing blocker...you owe me.....stop." Atlas said.

Astro smiled. "Twirps? An improvement. Last time he called us no good cock suckers."

"Wrong....he called "you" a no good cock sucker and for good reason." Atlas said as he stretched out in his seat. "Me he just called a douche bag." The red boy bot closed his eyes and yawned. "Wake me when we land in Cairo ok?"

A few moments later....Atlas opened an eye...."And yes...I am very happy we're together for this...if you need to know?"

Astro smiled and gave Atlas a tender kiss...."Me too."

Street outside Cairo International Airport arrival terminal.

Afternoon

Astro dropped his bags on the sidewalk and cursed..."I'm glad they didn't do a stupid cavity search in customs. They've never been that demanding before. Take off your shoes, take off your shirt, open your chest, show us your weapons. They were getting downright crazy! They even held me upside down, can you believe that stupid shit?"

Atlas waved a hand. "Calm down and don't start attracting attention? Things in Egypt have been getting a little tense or does O'Shay let you surf the web?"

"You get held by your ankles and shaken like a rag and see how you like it Altas?" Astro groaned.

"Will you zip it?" Atlas asked. "So where's this ride you called before we landed? I know it doesn't matter much but it's a hundred and three degrees right now and my nuts are turning into rubber soup. Good thing we don't suffer jet lag."

A tan colored traditional British desert Lori jeep came to a stop moments later and an Egyptian teenager came out of the driver's side (The right side door)...

"Astro?" He asked.

"Uh huh." Astro replied nodding. "Rufidah?" He asked the teen.

"Welcome to Cairo." The teen replied as he started to pick up the bags. "Your boyfriend I would imagine?"

Atlas gave Astro a pouting face...."Boyfriend? Who else have you told behind my back? Damn it Astro?! What the fuck?" Atlas yelped.

"Calm down?" Astro replied. "Rufidah is one of Doctor Awash's sons. I had to be honest you know. I've worked for Doctor Awash for three years now, I can trust him."

"It seems I can't trust you to shut up." Atlas snorted. "First you tell another person then ten then a hundred and then the UN and Interpol show up at Reno's apartment and he's getting his ass fucked out in prison....did that ever once come into play when you decided you want to "come out" and Rhupaul "drag" my poor ass with you?"

Astro smiled back. "You know you are so flaming hawt when you're angry at me? Gives me goose bumps."

"We can't have goose bumps dingus." Atlas snorted.?

"We can't have goose bumps dingus." Atlas snorted. "Stop telling the whole damn world about us? I'm serious Astro."

Astro sat pouting with his arms crossed..."Well sorry...I hate having to skulk around and not show how I feel about you ok? You won't even hold my hand when we go out sometimes. Do I have to remind you that boys holding hands in Japan is not a big "Gaydar" signal?"

"You just love to bitch and complain." Atlas snorted. "Are we going to turn this whole thing into a couple crabby snap fest?"

Astro pouted the rest of the way through Cairo until they arrived at the Cairo Museum of antiquities where Atlas was drawn to the first object they encountered; The death mask of King Tut...

"He sure was cute." Atlas said as he studied the face on the mask.

"Does everything with a boy face make you think of sex?" Astro snorted.

"I was just making a remark." Atlas replied as he took Astro's hand. "There... happy now?"

"Now you're just making a mockery." Astro snorted.

Atlas huffed and pulled Astro along as they followed Rafidah..."Will you get the lead out of your butt?"

"You don't have to rush through here Atlas? I don't think Doctor Awash is going to mind?" Astro snorted as he tried to slow down.

"We've been flying for hours and I dunno? I might want a good night's sleep before we go sand surfing?" Atlas said as they followed Rafidah to the research wing of the Museum where Doctor Awash and his aide Professor Alowa Erkish were working on a newly discovered ancient fishing boat...

"Father?" Rafidah said with a bow. "Astro and his "friend" are here."

Atlas turned to Astro. "At least someone can keep their mouth shut?"

Heini Awash, the Chief archaeologist for the Egyptian cultural ministry, came up to shake Astro and Atlas's hands. He was a short and burly man with Egyptian features and white hair...

"So good to see you again my good friend." Heini said to Astro.

"Good to be back." Astro replied. "Doctor? This is Atlas my best friend."

"A pleasure." Heini said as he shook Atlas's hand. "You two look strikingly similar?"

Atlas waved a hand...."Oh no.....I have nothing in common with him...nothing. I'm totally different."

Astro giggled. "Don't be so fooled." He said to Doctor Awash. "So? Have there been any new developments regarding the city?" Astro asked as he and Atlas followed Doctor Awash and Professor Erkesh into a room.

"We believe we deduced a possible location but of course we will not be sure until you do your exploration." Professor Erkesh said as she walked up to a map on one of the walls. "Last week, one of our college groups found pottery with the name of "Migdol" inscribed on it. Migdol was the other city the Israelites passed through and we believe it was to the north of Pi-Hahiroth on the bank of the upper Nile."

Atlas scratched his head. "But didn't Moses cross the Red Sea?"

"Four thousand years ago, the location where they would have crossed was the Sea of Reeds which is the bottle neck between the Red Sea and the Nile. The bottleneck has moved north West by 35 miles because of sedimentation deposits." Professor Erkesh said.

Astro bumped Atlas in the side..."You didn't read the whole report? Too boring huh?"

"I was tired. Sue me." Atlas snorted back.

"The estimated location of Pi-Hahiroth itself comes only from those findings and the little hieroglyphic evidence we gathered at Armana. I will upload all the GPS information to you Astro but from there, it is all your skill and rather a dose of luck. I know robots never deal in superstitions."

Astro stood with his hands behind his back bobbing up and down on the balls of his feet..."Well? Everything helps."

"So we don't even have an estimation of the size of the city? What are we going to use? Ground penetration radar?" Atlas asked.

"You seem to forget that we "are" the G.P.R. Units?" Astro said as he poked Atlas in the head. "And you bash me for acting more human than robot?"

"I was testing you." Atlas snorted.

Astro turned to Doctor Awash. "So we'll have a jeep and all the gear?"

"All waiting in the back." Doctor Awash said. "I would imagine you would both prefer to start in the morning and have some rest? I have reserved a room for you at the Hotel Saddat downtown."

Astro pulled up his shirt, opened his chest door and took the zip drive from Professor Erkesh with the GPS information. "The Saddat is a bit pricey Professor? We can't allow you too pay that much?"

"Insulting me is not a good idea Astro." Awash said with a finger wave. "As if I'm the one who ever cares about money given what I do for a living....really?"

Atlas smiled. "You don't see me complaining about it?"

"You're never one to pass up anything you think is free. Especially if a human's gonna give it and you don't have to pay for it." Astro groaned.

"Now that's just unfair." Atlas snorted back. "May I remind you that "we're" doing the good Doctor a valuable service?"

Astro snorted back. "There you go trying to cover yourself."

Atlas slapped Astro off the head. "Oh shut up and don't complain?"

Evening

The Hotel Sadat. Downtown Cairo.

Astro sat on his bed dressed in red cotton pajamas looking over several geology books and a map as Atlas came walking out of the bathroom from taking a shower...

"There's Egyptian lamb and sauce dip on that cart with some bread if you're interested?" Astro said as Atlas took a brush to his shoulder length locks of Lipizzaner tail flax. "Now this is rare?" He said as he looked at Astro.

"Huh?" Astro replied.

"No panties and long socks tonight?" Atlas asked.

"Yeah." Astro snorted. "I'm gonna answer room service in a Muslim country dressed as a French maid? very funny."

Atlas got himself a plate full of bread and sauce dip and sat on Astro's bed cross legged as his lover studied a topography map. "I like to sit and look at an actual hands on map sometimes rather than look at it in PDF."

Atlas leaned over the map...."So this is where they think the city might be?"

"You see where the Nile is?" Astro asked as he pointed. "4000 years ago it was farther to the left on the map about 35 to 40 miles. We might cover ten square miles per day using our feet as Ground Penetrating Radar. We''ll send our data back to the Doctor and Professor by Sat-link once an hour so they can read it too."

Atlas sat with his arms crossed. "My worry is the sand out there. It's like fine baby powder and could play hell with us."

"I've tried using duct tape to seal gaps and edges but I still get that stuff all in my body, down my throat, in my ears....took Reno a week to clean me out. But our systems are pretty hard cased so the sand won't affect us too much. The jeep's packed with an expanding water container and if we have too we can dig down to well water" Astro said as he made notations on the map and folded it up...

"Let me have some of that?" Astro said to Altas as he pointed at the plate of food.

"Go ahead." Atlas replied. "The spice in the sauce is an acquired taste."

Astro sampled the food and smiled..."The bread is wonderful! Really soft like velvet, they must use a stone oven to make it. The sauce is a little spicy but it's not bed at all. Mediterranean food is so much more unique than most places I've been too." Astro took a sip of coke and swished the fluid around the glass..."Altas? Why can't you and I work on some of the things you care about together? Why do you have to be so eager to "combat" the humans and tick them off?"

"Because sometimes, negotiation has to be tougher than your usual stand." Atlas replied. "Sure...I don't deny you do good things Astro but sometimes a good strong hand is a necessary evil against high minded grouchy douche bags like Tokugawa and his brat, Daichi."

Astro sighed..."I have absolutely no beef with Daichi at all. He's not like his father but you keep on being a badger in his underwear then he will become our enemy. All his stuff is off limits...his cars, his bike, his bedroom, his house...Do I need to repeat that?"

Atlas frowned slightly..."Are you?"

"No." Astro replied strongly. "No....I'm not. Why do you oppose me so often? Why can't we work together on things you and I care about? Seriously?"

Atlas sighed..."Because it would send out signals people might read. For now it's better that we keep some level of agitation with each other for safety sake."

"Agitation...." Astro said softly moaping. "Well....I fucken hate it."

Atlas leaned forwards and gave Astro a gentle kiss...."I know...but do realize I don't do it to really spite you?"

Astro turned his head and gently kissed Atlas's lips...."I know...."kiss"....."It just sucks from time...."kiss"......to time....."

Both boy bots exchanged tongues and long lip locks with each other till Astro gently pushed Atlas away...."I'm....not in the mood right now?"

Atlas shrugged at him...."Ok? I'm not pushy."

Atlas moved on the bed till he snuggled next to Astro and they looked at the map and books together...every now and then they'd get playful with each other with soft ear nibbling, lip suckling and childish giggles...eventually Astro pushed the books and the map off the bed and laid on his back to play with the face of his love...

"Kiss"......"I am so happy you're with me Atlas?" Astro said as he played a finger over Atlas's face.

"Ditto...." Atlas replied as he moved off to the side and lay snuggling Astro's chest..."Let's get some sleep huh?"

"Sleep?" Astro replied. "Wonder how long that concept will last?"

Morning

Day 1

Atlas awoke to Astro placing a tray on the bed. He was already dressed in a desert brown explorer suit with a very flaming pink neckerchief tied around his neck which Atlas motioned him to take off...

"Really?" Atlas said as he chewed on a piece of toast. "Run up the Bonie Blue Flag why don't you?"

"I thought it off set the dullness of this Steve Erwin get up?" Astro chuckled as he sat down on the edge of the bed. "Did you sleep good?"

"Yeah." Atlas replied as he sipped a can of oil. "So? I bet you're going to think we're going to spend hours on the road in that jeep, burning gas and contributing to climate change?"

"You want to fly it there?" Astro asked.

"Is that like a chore and a half?" Atlas asked. "I'll carry the jeep half the way. You really need to stop limiting your abilities and being too human, that's half the problem I've always had with you."

Astro replied. "Then I should get rid of the body mod too...by your standards anyway."

"Don't get snooty." Atlas said with a finger point. "Why should we waste the gas? If you wanna stop at say the Sphinx or the Giza Plateau? We'll stop. Driving there's a waste of time."

Astro smiled..."I just like to drive long ways when I can because I enjoy it."

Atlas finished his breakfast and got up to pull his suit out of his bag. "We're not here for an enjoyment binge...or were you thinking of a "sex-fest" the whole time?"

Astro shrugged and smirked. "I thought you were always hungry to get in my shorts?"

"Good things come after a period of abstinence." Atlas said as he brushed his hand over Astro's cheek. "Well? We can't stand here all day?"

Morning

Day 1

700 feet above Memphis, Egypt

Astro sat with the driver's seat-back lowered as far as it would go and his red moon boots hiked up on the steering wheel as the temples of old Memphis passed by under the jeep. Atlas was under the chassis "Superman'ing" the loaded desert runner with his arms over his head carefully balancing the vehicle. Every now and then he'd give it a very noticeable tilt and chuckle when Astro yelp'd "Baka!" or "Nan-dyo!" at him from the cab...

"Told you this was better than driving there." Atlas said.

"Yeah...." Astro replied. "I don't suppose you've thought about setting yourself up to "GPR" have you? (Ground Penetration Radar)

"No." Atlas replied. "It's only going to take what? A minute? I'm looking at the sights....minus all the sand."

Astro sat reading through the research PDF files as he popped the top on a can of STP oil. "What's with humans and animal worship? I mean the Egyptians must have been the first "furries" on the planet."

Atlas laughed. "Egyptian writings were the first furry comics."

"Get this." Astro said. "Anubis is the son of either the cow goddess

Hesat or the cat-headed Bastet. How do you get Anubis, who's a wolf, from a cow or a cat?"

"A fucked up funky animal orgy right out of Fritz the Cat?" Atlas snickered. "Humans are just amazingly weird."

Astro giggled. "We haven't thought of trying out a furry-con ourselves."

"And.....we won't so don't even think about it because I'm not getting that strange for you." Atlas snorted. "You're starting to develop some weird kinks."

Astro giggled..."I could go as Kimba the White lion and you could go as Speedy Cheetah?"

"How about.....no!" Atlas snapped back. "Pay attention to the road?"

"We're flying silly." Astro huffed.

"Well then...do something to keep yourself occupied so you don't slip into the mind gutter again will you?" Atlas snorted.

It took only a half hour for them to reach the half way point where the boys switched places and continued towards their destination with Astro holding the jeep while Atlas sat inside the cab....with a coloring book?

"I'm like almost fifty percent done with this." Atlas said as he chewed a crayon to a sharp point and carefully colored a few spots while wiping his tongue around his lips...

"You say I'm addicted to stuff and yet you're obsessed with coloring books." Astro said with a smirk.

"It's.....I dunno?....soothing.....yup....soothing and satisfying when I finish a page. Now you know how I kept myself from going "batty" the last couple of times you spent months in Egypt." Atlas said as he gently smudged two colors together...

"I just thought you caused chaos and drove Inspector Towashi bat-shit crazy?" Astro replied. "Since we're going to be early? We should just jump right into research before mean temperature hits. It's gonna be a hundred and ten by 3pm."

Atlas snickered back. "Point being? Robots hello?"

"You might like working in a smelter but I'm too fragile." Astro giggled. "The sun and sand play hell with my cute looks."

"Sheesh.....get over yourself Diva?" Atlas snorted. "Fine...we'll go from landing till 3pm. We're going to do some night work too?"

"I wasn't planning that." Astro replied.

"See?" Atlas snorted. "There you go again! We're robots! I don't want to stay out here sucking sand for a month. We don't need to be on a 12/12 cycle like the weakling humans? Grow some nuts?"

Astro smiled. "Alright...we'll work nights too. I understand you want to get this done quick...though the Ministry got us a grant for three months."

"And you would stretch this out for three months." Atlas said. "I am really shocked at you."

"But I'm not doing anything wrong by carrying out the full term of the grant?" Astro said with a shrug.

"Now you're starting to scheme like a human." Atlas groaned. "You're really sewing doubt with me Astro. Don't make us robots look worse than the flesh bags? They do that kind of wasteful garbage all the time. If we finish early? We'll gain good favors and we'll get more grants."

Astro snorted. "Wow! Now suddenly you "want" to come with me on more of these trips? And what's this "we" stuff since you utterly refuse to even lift a finger to help me with Ministry work?"

Atlas snorted back. "I'm looking out for the future good welfare of our brothers and sisters now be a good human boot licking bitch and fly on."

Suddenly! The jeep went flying and dropped nose first towards the sand sending Atlas up against the back of the cab! "NOT FUNNY! NOT FUNNY! CATCH IT YOU TWERP!" Atlas watched as Astro caught the falling jeep at the last second and flopped it onto the sand....

"Now?....say your sorry for calling me a little boot licking bitch." Astro frowned. "By the way? We're here."

Atlas climbed out of the jeep. "Fine...I'm sorry I called you boot licker, Should have called you "a take a number" box instead." The red boy bot snorted with a push. He then looked around and pursed his lips..."Yup? As expected....mega sand box."

Astro flopped onto the fine talc sand and pulled his red moon boots off. "Maybe you should go bare foot too?" He said as he pointed to Atlas's black boots. "And.....tune your body for low frequency, skip phase ultrasonic penetration down to.....I dunno? 300 feet to start?"

Atlas pulled his boots off, set up the programming in his body and performed a few test shots through the soles of his feet..."Ok....what's the pattern you want to do?"

Astro pulled out a USB cable and had Atlas plug into him through their chest doors...

"So." Astro said as he and Atlas watched how Astro wrote on the file being shared between them. "First try will be 100 yards by 100 yards. I will go West to East and you go North to South. If you "ping" anything? Make sure to mark it on here with a GPS coordinate so we can go back to it once we're done. After we do this grid....then we'll start another to the south."

"Alright." Atlas said with a nod. "You're not going to break for lunch or anything are you?"

"We're robots remember?" Astro replied. "Food is a luxury. And...I don't think we can order Domino's Pizza out here do you?"

"Maybe they can drone it in?" Atlas snickered. "I can't work without a promise of pizza."

Astro started to march in place, listening to the beeps coming from his feet as he activated the GPR program. "Wait here while I test something?" He asked Atlas and then Astro took off like a shot! Down and back, 200 yards to a sliding stop!

"60 miles an hour." Astro said smiling then frowning in disappointment. "Well so much for thinking we could blaze through this....I went too fast."

Atlas took Astro by his shoulders and turned him..."Ok?....you walk that way and I'll walk this way. Try? Oh....ten miles per hour and let's see how that works?"

"I was hoping we wouldn't spend all our time in the heat." Astro sighed.

"You're the one who was excited to get started." Atlas reminded. "Stop complaining and lets go?"

After fifteen minutes of walking their way around the grid Astro had established, the two boy bots ditched their desert suits and boots for just their shorts, considering the clothes to be nothing important since they were out in the middle of a big beach. Astro was playfully skipping along, making his feet beep with a sort of musical hilarity of sound pitches while Atlas walked more normally and some what annoyed....

"Are you doing anything constructive or what?" Altas snorted as the boys passed each other. "I hope your concentrating?"

"Yeah." Astro replied. "So far nothing really significant. If it's here? The 500 foot setting shouldn't miss it."

Atlas stood wiggling his toes in the sand. "Can you wiggle your toes like me?"

Astro frowned. "No....mine go in unison when I move em."

"Mmmm...." I have sensation between my toes. The warm sand feels soft." Atlas said smiling.

Astro looked as if a little depressed. "I don't have that. I don't even have sensations on the soles of my feet."

Atlas started walking again. "You should tell Reno to fix that."

"It's a low priority item." Astro sighed. "It'll get done when they feel it's a real need."

"But you got a dick and boy pussy which absolutely are not any type of priority. In fact.......THEY'RE A FELONY!" Atlas yelped.

"Hmph! And you talk?" Astro snorted back.

1 hour later...

Astro joined Atlas under a tarp they had strung up by the jeep and connected each other by a USB cable to review the data from their first sweep of the suggested site...

"Small stuff but nothing really significant." Astro said as he studied the feed data from the ultrasound videos. "You agree?" He asked Atlas as he sipped a can of oil...

"Yup...no joy." Atlas replied. "So next? Let's go to the Southeast corner of the first grid pattern and go West/East and South/North from there. And it's getting hot now so I say we get the tent up and relax until night....say.....11pm?"

Astro thought..."Ok...11pm." Astro stood up and set his internal radio to call Doctor Awash...

"Doctor? Astro here. Just to let you know? We did our first sweep of the location and came up with nothing. We're going to wait till night time to start our second search because of the heat."

Doctor Awash replied. "Very good. Just as a warning so you are not surprised? There have been incidents of trouble in Luxor. Currently the army has closed the temple sites because of threats by ultra-radical extremist groups so be careful."

Atlas snorted..."They should worry if they get froggy."

Astro stood up and started to open the doors and back hatch of the jeep. "Help me get the tent set up and everything staged?"

3pm

Day 1

Atlas sat against a legless floor chair back-rest in a pair of loose cotton PJ bottoms as Astro entered the tent dressed in his red moon boots and a pair of boy's briefs colored in pink with red elastic around the waist and legs...

"At least you're not wearing panties." Atlas snickered.

"I didn't want to trouble you." Astro replied. "I know you're not too fond of my kinks."

"You tend to take them kind of extreme." Atlas said frowning. "I'm not really turned on by you flaunting tranny. You go beyond underwear and start slapping lipstick on yourself and I'm gone."

Astro crawled onto the sleeping mat that Atlas was sitting on and snuggled his shoulder..."So what you reading?" He asked.

"Egyptian legends." Atlas replied. "The book of Hototh. You know this Anubis was a real bad ass? The young King Nefer-Kapt-ptah is ambushed at the battle of Bakhu by the serpent demon Sepkush who leads an army to strangle the Nile and with it all Egypt. So Ra sends Anubis to muster an army of chariots to do battle. Anubis uses his greatest strength, he's pitch black for one and he can see at night where Sepkush can't and Sepkush and his army are dulled because of the desert cold. Anubis and his chariots slam into Sepkush in the pitch dark and rout his army all the way back to Memphis. Then Anubis traps Sepkush in a Canoptic jar and sends him flying into the Mediterranean."

Astro smiled. "Sounds like he'd be a cool superhero."

"I dunno..." Atlas replied. "This is the only story of him doing anything different than his normal job which was guarding graves and leading souls to the Egyptian afterlife. He was also a husband and devoted father which is where the majority of his time was spent. See in the early age of Egypt, Egyptians were buried in shallow graves which were often assaulted by Egyptian Jackals so to protect the graves the Egyptians had Anubis which is an Egyptian Golden Wolf. All legend of course."

Atlas pointed to the book. "Where did the Leopard get its' black spots from?" He asked Astro.

"Paint guns?" Astro replied.

"Anubis kicked the shit out of Set." Atlas said smiling. "Set was trying to attack Osirus by making himself an all yellow leopard to make Osirus think he was Ra the sun? Anubis jumped his butt, beat the snot out of him then poked him over and over with a heated rod of iron before skinning him and wearing the hide as a warning."

Atlas snickered..."Super....bad.....ass."

Astro gave Atlas a soft kiss on the cheek..."You're my Super bad ass."

Atlas returned the love with a lip to lip massage..."So nice to be alone with each other. Having Bender in the hide-a-way while we "bang-a-way" kinda sucks."

Astro slowly moved to strattle his top's hips, pulled the book from his hands and resting his own hands on Atlas's shoulders....

"Have you thought about an apartment?" Astro asked as he played a finger over Atlas's face..."I could work things out for us? I think I've earned the right to leave Doctor O'Shay's house and be on my own."

Atlas shook his head. "Too early for that. You know Zoran would go bonkers if you up and left. Sheesh.....O'Shay had to make her so weird for a little preteen girl."

Astro giggled. "You know she adores you? Oh man...I don't "dare" tell her we're homosexuals. She just "would not!" understand."

"Please tell me you don't "dress up" in that house?" Atlas worried.

Astro turned his head and pursed his lips. "Only in my bedroom and when I know I'm alone."

"Will you please? Please be careful?" Atlas begged.

"Giggles"....I even teased Zoran one time." Astro said coyishly. "Jumped into her room, did a little dance in my long white girl's socks and pink chiffon panties and walked out? She went catatonic."

"What the fuck?!" Atlas snapped.

Astro lightly hit him on his chest. "You are so easy to upset. Of course I'm not that stupid Atlas...really?"

The red boy bot placed his hands on Astro's waist and rubbed his sides slowly..."I just freak out only because I want to protect what we have."

Astro doe'd his face and kissed Atlas lovingly..."I know...." He then looked around to see Atlas had brought his favorite teddy bear..."You just had to bring that?"

"I always sleep easyer with it." Atlas replied as Astro slowly ground his lower body to Atlas's lap...

"Don't you enjoy snuggling with me more?" Astro said with a frownish look on his face.

"You're not the softness I kinda crave." Atlas replied. "Not that you're not worth snuggle points? But I love my Pookie bear, you know that?"

Astro sighed..."We should get to sleep for work tonight. How's your aircon unit? You chilled? Wanna share a hose?"

Atlas smiled back..."No need...just sharing a hug is cool enough for me."

11pm

Day 1

Astro emerged from the tent in his red moon boots and cargo pants and stretched himself as he looked skyward..."Look at this! Absolutely no light except the stars."

Atlas walked by him..."Yeah, yeah....stars. See em once and eh...boring."

Astro followed behind..."How about a little dreamy romance here?"

Atlas turned. "How bout later, now we work?" He snorted.

The boy bots walked to the South-East corner of their first grid and started on the second grid, each walking in different directions and crossing each others path as they swept over the plotted block and recorded the results in their processors.

2am

Day 2

"Woe." Atlas said as he stopped, retraced a few steps, came back to where he stood then did another walk...."Ummm....found something a little substantial here."

Astro walked over and did his own little walk..."I guess." He said as he looked at the sound returns being projected onto his eye lenses....

"Bout......mmmmm....30 feet under the sand to the top and maybe something.... 200 to 250 feet tall?" Atlas remarked. "Pretty solid."

Astro pointed..."One side goes like? 230 degrees on the compass? The other goes off about 150?"

Atlas gave Astro's chest a little beat with his hand...."You go....230 and I'll go 150 and let's see what comes up."

3:30am

Day 2

Atlas licked his lips and stomped his foot a little into the sand after he stopped walking...."Wow....we already hit jackpot. And just think? If we had driven all the way here? We'd be so cranky and sick of each other that we wouldn 't get this far till like....day three."

Astro dropped to his knees and patted the sand...."It's a temple all right. Has the classical Egyptian outline with annex buildings but how can it be intact and the rest of the city just faintly readable ruins?"

"Bigger structure and better built." Atlas replied. "Doesn't mean it's intact by any measure but...it's there."

Astro looked up at Atlas. "I'll send a text to Doctor Awash and see what our next step is."

"Our next step is to keep going." Atlas replied. "I don't see the temple...if it is a temple...suddenly crumbling to dust any time soon. We still have other things to find and look at."

6am

Day 2

The sun was just starting to come up in the East as Astro flopped onto his back and playfully made a sand angel while Atlas made notes in a note book...

"We've obviously found a city." Astro said as he lay on his side. "And a big one."

"Doesn't mean we found the one we want." Atlas replied. "We'll have to do some digging and in this kind of sand we'll have a problem trying to keep it stable"

Astro took a hand full of sand..."Not if we modify our arm cannons to melt the sand into glass? I could run back to Cairo for some plywood and planks to make forms?"

The top of the temple complex is 30 feet down and then the size of the temple building itself is 250 feet. Once we go down around 70 feet the sand becomes easier to deal with because it's mixed soil with some cohesive quality." Atlas thought. "Then again we could go down 30 feet and punch the roof of the main temple building but I know you'd dislike that idea."

"Well we can't risk causing any material damage. There could be writings on the ceiling of the temple structure." Astro replied. "Let me call Doctor Awash and we can hash out a plan from that?"

Atlas nodded in reply..."alright. But Before anything? I want to wash off the grit before we go to bed. I'm tasting sand...not kidding." Astro smirked..."Ummm....look around us silly. No water." Atlas pointed to the East..."Nile's that way?"

7:19 am

Day 2

Atlas flew naked 70 feet into the air and went into a crazy tumble and twisting drop before splashing into the slow moving Nile below. He came up spitting out water and looked to see Astro still sitting on the shore in his pink colored boy's underwear. "What are you doing?" Atlas asked as he swam up to the river bank. "Take off those fruity shorts and come in?"

Astro replied..."I was thinking of the crocodiles."

"Oh come on! You're a robot and you're worried about the Nile Crocodiles? Sheesh...that's dumb." Atlas snorted.

"No." Astro replied. "I'm worried about us hurting them. The Nile Crocodiles are a protected species."

Atlas smirked and reached his hand into the water. "Then kindly tell this guy to stop trying to use me as a chew toy?" Atlas said as he pulled a Nile Crocodile up by its' snout, even rubbing his knuckles on its' head...."Who's my crock? Who's my big nasty but cute crock?" Atlas said calmly to the reptile before giving it a smack on the back and sending it on its' way... "Now no more stupid excuses?" Atlas said as he pointed at Astro. "Get your butt in the Nile? If I get caught skinny dipping in here? I'd like to know my boyfriend was with me at least." Atlas said with a sigh.

Astro tossed his underwear over his shoulder and dove in. The two boy bots swam and frolic'd with each other for a half an hour until Atlas carried Astro in his arms into the reeds at the water's edge and laid with him on river bank...

Atlas slowly and tenderly kissed his love, exchanging soft rolls of their moist tongues with each other... "I am so happy to be with you." Atlas said softly. "Every time you leave me alone? My life just sucks. Bender's a nice friend but a lousy replacement compared to you.

" Astro rubbed his hands over Atlas's soft cheeks..."Same thing...so strange that we ended up like this. Still feels like only yesterday we were kicking the snot out of each other" Astro looked down at Atlas's prick, his face looking as if he desired to suck it, but Atlas cupped his chin and kissed him....

"No....no...." He moved Astro to sit on his hips and sat up to wrap his arms around his love... "Astro?" Atlas said as he played a finger over one of Astro's nipples..."I got something to say and it might be a little corny sounding."

Astro giggled..."You always sound corny."

"Shut up and be serious?" Atlas asked. He rubbed his hair as he thought the words up then placed his hands on Astro's cheeks... "Sigh.....ok....here it is...." Atlas said with some hesitation.

"Astro the star of all my desire....

when we first met, I wanted to destroy you with hate filled fire...

Through the air and on the streets we fought...

Why you steadfast refused to destroy me, the purpose that drove you I knew not... B

ut as the days passed to years and my anger waned...

My love for you I could not feign...

And so my heart in hate and anger once was filled...

Burst with passions which can not be stilled...

And all my aches will never be slayed until you my love stop going away...

Astro you've trap me at last with your fire warmed love...

And you are my angel....

my sweet boy love."

Atlas shook his head...."Ugh...I could have done better than that." He said with his eyes closed. When he opened them...he saw Astro with tears rolling down his face.

"Shhhhh....hey?" Atlas said as he slowly wiped Astro's face. "Cut that out? You wanna go back to the tent now?"

Astro nodded and they got up and held hands... "It's not stupid." Astro said smiling softly. "It was wonderful coming from you. I don't think I could do one as nice."

"We robots are not known for good improv. I had to write that like twenty times before I felt it matched my thoughts." Atlas said as he snuggled Astro and kissed his neck.

"You in a hurry for sex?" Atlas asked.

"Not a big rush....why?" Astro replied.

"Well you have to call the Doctor on our findings...and I'm curiously in the mood? For checkers." Atlas said with a snicker.

"Checkers?" Astro replied. "Ok you got my wires and chips smoking and you want to play checkers....weird."

Atlas kissed Astro tenderly..."Just humor me ok?"

9:29 am

Day 2

Atlas played their favorite song in a loop run from his body as Astro went between plotting his next move on the checker board and talking to Doctor Awash on his own radio...

"So that's what we've found so far Doctor." Astro said. "The temple is covered by 320 feet of sand along with the rest of the city around it. Our plan is to dig and find a way to get into the inner chambers by turning the sand to glass tunnels. We'll stop if we find the name of the city and fill the tunnels in unless you give us permission to go further?" Astro pointed to a black checker and moved it over the board before laying back on a pillow...

"I leave the discretion up to you Astro. You proceed as you see fit." Awash replied. "I would perhaps plan to remove one or two articles depending on their condition if you find anything inside the temple complex?"

Atlas smirked at Astro.."Oh no....curse....Temple of Doom...we'll be turned into hideous spider robots."

Astro giggled..."Tentacle rape." He turned back to talking to awash as Atlas made his move with a checker. "Ok Doctor...I'll make sure we're careful. Astro out."

Atlas pursed his lips as he looked at the checker board..."This gets old fast."

"I could have told you that." Astro said as he laid sideways and smiled at Atlas.

"Fuck checkers?" Atlas said as he moved over the board grinning....

"Yeah.....fuck checkers." Astro put his arms out and took his lover in his arms....slowly rubbing his hands over Atlas's shoulders as their tongues caressed each other... "So I was thinking?" Astro said between his passion filled kisses. "We make tunnels around eight feet in diameter so we can move things out if we find anything inside the temple's inner chambers."

Atlas smiled. "The only tunnel I want to work on right now is your tunnel."

Astro gave Atlas a soft slap..."You could frame things more romantic than that?"

"I could." Atlas snorted as he grabbed Astro's wrists and pinned him to the floor of the tent. "But I'm the top and you're the bottom so sometimes? It's "fuck being romantic." Atlas rudely snatched Astro's pink underwear and pulled it off...throwing it over his shoulder with a smirk on his face...

Astro softly giggled..."I like it when you get a little forceful?"

"I like it when you just shut up." Atlas replied as he exchanged moisture and tongues again until Astro slowly sat up...

"I need a little time to call home ok?" Astro asked.

"Oh my gawd! We're just starting to get into it and you have to call home?" Atlas yelped, disappointed. "Sheesh you just murder a fucken hard on."

Astro kissed him on the cheek. "I'm sure you can be patient."
