Some shit Interstellar CASE x TARS work that pops out of Author #2's head right after watching the movie at like 3 am.


CASE rolled into the cryosleep chamber. Sliding past all of the sleeping Endurance crew members. He paused at Coopers pod, turning to face it. His two screens flashed with green words on a black background. The old computer screens stared down at the pod sunken under mildly warm water.

If computers could breath, CASE let out a well deserved sigh of depression.

As if he missed the humans tottering around all over the place and gibbering about all of their nonsensical things. He decided that he should not grind his gears about it, he could start going into deep thought and just stand there thinking about it for days.

He half heartedly took notice of TARS as he too entered the chamber.

"Hey, HAL, plotting to kill all of these humans?" TARS jokingly said and his cue light turned on. Sometimes CASE wished that he would just not.

"I am checking up on their readings, just making sure everything's running smoothly." The humans needed to be made sure that nothing bad happened while they went in for the long nap, all of their levels were just fine though.

TARS trotted over to him, his gears turning, "That's the fifth time this day that you have checked on them," TARS stopped beside Coopers pod next to CASE, "You don't need to baby sit them."

"Are you trying to tell me something?"

TARS just shrugged his wall like frame and turned around to leave the room.

"I miss them," CASE said to TARS back.

TARS turned around to face him.

"It has been months and I miss them, just it being me and you, I really do miss them," by the time CASE got to the end of his sentence is voice was a hushed whisper. "Learn to hibernate, CASE," TARS retorted, "Makes time go by faster, that's what their doing," TARS gestured to the pods.

TARS rolled out of the room on that ended note. He slid past the door. CASE begrudgingly followed him. "Why do you have to follow me all around all the time?" TARS confronted him as he 'walked' into the main cockpit.

"I just don't like being alone."

"We're in space, CASE, it's big, we are all very alone," TARS huffed, "oh, that rhymed, do I need to turn on my cue light for that?"

"Why do you ask me, it's like you are treating me like a human," CASE stood against the wall of the cockpit.

"True, true, I just forget."

"You can't forget, you are just a machine, TARS, your data banks are so vast."

TARS began to just ignore CASE and his nonsense, "'just a machine.'" He muttered to himself. Made him feel like useless garbage. Feel, 'feelings are just things you are programed with', he thought to himself. He found that CASE had stopped talking, 'good.'

TARS rolled up to one of the windows to gaze into the wide open space. 'They call it space for a reason,' he paused, 'cue light.' His cue light flickered on. He just stared, facing the window. Space is big, too big, endless. Jut looking at it made you think, think of how alone you really are. Thoughts like this are what things TARS would think about when he spent his months staring out at space or at walls while the humans were sleeping.

"Take a picture, it lasts longer," said a smooth voice from the other side of the room.

TARS dryly laughed. "I'll break this window and you will be sucked out into space."

"I would dare you."

TARS quietly trotted over to CASE propped up against the wall.

"Listen, CASE."

"Listening."

"If machines were to love, I would love you," he chirped and returned to his window, "Just wanted to get that of my mind."

CASE did not reply and stood silently leaning against the wall. TARS left him to ponder over that.

"Hey, TARS," CASE called back to him.

"Yeah?"

"If WALL-E and EVA could do it-"

"Quiet CASE."
