Ayeka was visiting Washu in her lab. She noticed that Mihoshi was playing with the control panel on a machine in a corner.

"Little Washu?" asked Ayeka. "Is it alright for Mihoshi to be playing with those controls?"

"Yes," Washu said with a wink. "I've already taken that equipment apart for the parts. The control panel is all that's left—"

Washu's lab was suddenly bathed in ominous red light. "SELF DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS," a computer-generated voice said.

"AIEEE!!" Washu darted to the machine, shut it down, and then turned to Mihoshi. "HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?"

"Like this." Mihoshi pressed a short sequence of buttons.

Washu's lab was bathed in ominous red light again. "SELF DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS," the computer-generated voice said.

"AIEEE!!" Washu shut down the machine again, and then turned to Mihoshi again. "DON'T DO THAT!!"

"But you just asked me to show you—" Mihoshi protested.

"Don't just do everything that I ask you about!!" Washu cried.

"Do you mean, starting from now, or after I do it again?" Mihoshi asked.

"EEEEEEEE!!" Washu cried in frustration.

"EEEEEEEE!!" Mihoshi replied tearfully.

"I'll show myself out," Ayeka said while backing away nervously. "I can see that you're busy."
