"Tch, it was a long shot that seems to have paid off. So, what's the message?"
Long shot. Maybe that was why Bobby felt like he'd been stuck spinning his wheels in the same department for so long. He never took the long shot. It struck him that the best way to ensure not to make the shot is not to take the shot.
"What'd she say, huh? Is she going to give me an interview?"
So here he was, climbing trees to try and get interviews with people, and it turned out that all you had to do was ask. Bobby turned to Jamie to see what kind of answer he had, and the guy looked maybe just a little put off for a minute before he spoke.
"I, uh, don't know. I only spoke with her briefly. She did say she found you interesting."
The letter was handed over, and then it was Bobby and Jamie that were looking at Jubilee, waiting for the big answer. "If you think you're getting some privacy for this one, you have another thing coming," Bobby teased with a grin.

"I, uh, don't know. I only spoke with her briefly. She did say she found you interesting."
"I am very interesting, so she's obviously a person of discernment," Jubilee said gravely, tapping the envelope against her palm. She wanted to squeal and jump up and down. Only restraining herself from it through sheer willpower.
"If you think you're getting some privacy for this one, you have another thing coming," Bobby teased with a grin.
"So," Jamie tried to move the conversation along, so he could escape to his non-separatist Snickers bar, "go ahead and open the letter, I want to hear what she said too."
"Nosey parkers," Jubilee grumbled as she ripped open the letter using the edge of her fingernail. She took out the letter inside and unfolded it, smiling widely as she skimmed it. All she needed to know was if she had the interview. Details could be absorbed later.
"She's gonna let me interview her."

"She's gonna let me interview her."
Bobby clapped his hands, and slapped Jamie on the back, accidentally popping out another copy of the dude. "Sweet!" He said emphatically to Jubilee. He was jealous as hell, but it was awesome for her.
And then an idea occurred to him.
"You're gonna need a photographer..." He grinned winningly. "Bobby Drake is one of the best and most available photographers currently in your cube." Then just to make sure he had a chance he put his hands together shamelessly. "Pleeeease!"

"Whoa!" Jubilee exclaimed as Bobby slapped Jamie on the back in a fit of masculine camaraderie, only to have Jamie duplicate. Just like that - InstaJamieCopy. She had to resist the urge to poke the instantaneous clone in the arm, but she managed not to do it. Even though every curious thought was begging her to.
"Sweet!" He said emphatically to Jubilee. "You're gonna need a photographer..." He grinned winningly. "Bobby Drake is one of the best and most available photographers currently in your cube." Then just to make sure he had a chance he put his hands together shamelessly. "Pleeeease!"
"Sure, I think that's a great idea!" She paused, and regarded him thoughtfully. What she really wanted to tell him was not to say a word while they were there, and just take photos. But she couldn't bring herself to be that mean. Hopefully, Princess Kitty would be able to shrug off any weird things Bobby said that he thought were funny. "You're gonna wear something nicer then that, right?"

Jamie looked to his duplicate, and then back to Jubilation. She certainly was happy, it was great to see someone that was...after all, though, not everyone can get their candy bar when they want it. He reabsorbed the dupe, and turned back to the smiling group.
"That's fantastic! You know she's a really great person, I got to spend some personal time with her when I picked this letter up for you. We should all celebrate, maybe get some junk from the machine. Well, we could, unfortunately I'm short a dime...unless someone wants to give me a hand?"
Jamie felt a little displeased with himself. It was kind of shrewd and weird to keep demanding money from Jubes and Bobby. But, Jamie really loved Snickers.

SCORE!
Jubilee went for his idea and Bobby was so happy that he elbowed Jamie out of sheer glee, even though the poor guy had just finished absorbing the last clone of himself. That was so weird to watch, by the way! It almost felt kind of...wrong.
But anyway, there was another one of them in the cube again.
"What's wrong with this shirt?" Bobby asked with a concerned look. He looked at it, trying to flake off a bit of yellow something that was dried on there. "When did I have mustard," he mused to himself out loud. "That's weird.." Then he remembered. "Dude, that was like three nights ago!" He looked kind of sheepish when he realized it. "Okay, I got something that's only a day old in mind already."
He was fishing in his pocket for some change. He handed it to the multiple...or to Jamie. He wasn't sure.

The dupe held the dime triumphantly and ran for the vending machine. Jamie pursued him, but among the cubicles he managed to escape. By the time Jamie got to the candy machine, the dangling Snickers was missing. He almost started to cry as he left the offices to find his rogue copy.

"No, it has to be clean!" Jubilee said emphatically as Jamie ran off with the dime, to do whatever it was that he needed the money for. If Bobby turned up in a dirty shirt...oh geeze. Even she knew better then that.
She would die. Just die. And leave him outside the gates, or ask the guard pretty please to shoot him in the head. He didn't have any brains there, so it wouldn't hurt.
"Is it really that hard to remember to throw in a trip to the laundromat?"

It was a little distracting, watching the strange goings on that the Jamie's had...going on. "There is no 'clean' and 'dirty'," Bobby said absently to Jubilee as he watched the scene quickly upscale into a fiasco. "There's at least a dozen in betweens," he said as he looked back at her. "One shirt might just need airing out on the back rail for a few hours." He shrugged. "Good as new."
But he was deep in thought. "Maybe I should buy a new shirt. Something more...regal or something. You think the Princess likes Snoop Dog?" He shook his head. "Random thought, nevermind. I'm just kinda stoked."
