Bobo drew his finger in the air from the base of her weapon to about two feet above it. A thin silver line appeared briefly in the space that he had traced. “Much like the handle you built before, I can transform the metal to be lighter and more manageable to work with.”

Dani gently tapped her forehead with the heel of her hand. “You are right. Duh. I should have known that. Would you be willing to do it for me?”

“Of course.”

“Well, let me get to work. We will run with this plan. If it doesn’t work.” Dani shrugged. “We’ll just cross that bridge when we get to it.”

Bobo laid his hand gently on her shoulder. “It will work. I assure you.”

Dani gave him a file then pulled free from his grasp. She hurried down the hallway back to the living room. She was grateful that she never got to the hardware store to return the extra parts she bought. She must have sensed they would still come in handy.

It took four hours and two calls to her dad to finally complete her sword-like thingy. Except, it now was a long C-shape, like a clamp, instead of resembling a blade. She glanced over to see Bobo snoozing on the sofa. Being so much like a feline she half expected him to be curled in a ball on the cushion. Instead, he slept much like her father, his head tilted back and snoring rather loudly.

Dani clasped her hands to her hips as she stared at the tool lying on the coffee table. “It’s not going to work.”

Bobo blinked his large, green eyes at her then yawned. “What do you mean?” he asked groggily. “I said I would transform the molecules so it would be easier to hold.”
