Before they could see anything, however, Jenny was hit in the face by a large snowball coming from nowhere in particular, and they were then knocked down by a sudden gust of wind. When they got up again, there were contrails suddenly criss-crossing the sky, as though hundreds of aircrafts — ''or just one, moving extremely fast'' — had passed over the city in the blink of an eye. Melodramatically angry, Jenny started waving a fist in the air and shouting up at the sky: “You just wait! I know [[Jenny Cornelius|who’s]] driving the fat man this year!” — but she got no reply, and Eric calmed her down by calling her attention to the two large, scarlet-wraped presents with their name on them that were suddenly lying on a parapet.

==== The Valentine's Day intruder ==== | |||
On [[Valentine's Day]] of the following year, [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny]] had dozed off on the couch while reading ''[[The Tail of Jack the Bodice Ripper]]'' when a [[Cupid (Valentine's Visitor)|strange copper-coloured robot]] made its way into the apartment through the balcony. It tried to sneak up on Jenny, but was tackled by the [[Robot Toaster]], waking Jenny with a start. After punting the intruder into the kitchen with a kick, Jenny ran to Professor Awesome's apartment, assuming he was to blame, but he told her otherwise, explaining that his last invention to date had been a new grappling hook for one of the [[robo-spider]]s. Followed her back to the apartment, the Professor briefly admired the “sweet engineering” of the golden robot before managing to separate it from the Toaster, with whom it was still wrestling, but it then revealed that it had the ability to fly and escaped out the window, leaving only its bow. Jenny was left to wonder what the whole encounter had been about, while the young mad scientist resolved to try making robots capable of flight in the future.
