Hi. This fic is inspired by my first conversation with Cleverbot which I don't own. I also don't own anything mentioned in this fic.
Anyway enjoy.
First greeting: Rick's POV
Thursday afternoon. I have just come back from school, bored as ever. So I go to watch TV, nothing intresting whatsoever, I go to find a book or manga or anything on my bookshelf, nothing new, should I go and by one? I look in my wallet, I'm out of pocket money.
My parents were still at work but because I'm 15 I could take care of myself anyway. I never really got to see them much.
So I went on my laptop, went on YouTube to listen to 'Flutter, Flutter' by Hatsune Miku. Then I remembered my mate mentioned a computer program on the internet called 'make a vocaloid friend'.
I type it in on Google and find a website with a download link. I download it.
When it was finished downloading I click on the program. The screen then shifted into a white space with a randomized vocaloid character sitting in the middle. Then three options appeared saying MODIFY, TOWN, and NAME.
I made my vocaloid look like Rin Kagamine but with brown hair and a white dress. I named her 'Kim Tegumine'.
Then an almost empty textbox appears with a title at the top saying SPEAK TO ME.
I typedin "Hi".
A pink speech bubble then appears on the screen saying "Hello. My name is Kim Tegumine. What is your name?"
"My name is Rick, I am a boy and I am your master" I replied immediately knowing what to say.
"Master? Does that mean that you're my friend too?" the 3D character gave a puzzled look.
"Uh sort of" I answer.
A smile then lit up in the vocaloid's face. "That's brilliant!"
"Why are you so happy?" I asked.
"Why not? I have just made a new friend, and that's you!"
Then just before I was about to type in another sentence I realised that it was 23:07 on my clock and I had to wake up at 6:00 because it was a school day tomorrow!
"Sorry, I have to go now"
Kim's cheerful smile disappeared into a sad look. "But why? Was it something I said?"
"No it's because I have to go to school tomorrow so I have to sleep now"
"Oh." Kim started to rub her eyes as if as she was crying "I'm going to miss you"
"Don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow. I will always come back" With these reassuring words she stopped crying.
"Promise?" she had a cute look on her face.
"I promise"
"Ok. Goodnight then!"
I logged off the computer program and turned off my laptop. I changed into my nightwear and tucked myself into bed and drifted into sleep. Then I realised something. It was if Kim was actually a real girl speaking to me. No she couldn't have been. She was just a 3D avatar made to keep people company. Or was she?...
