Following their escapades in Four Seasons Land, Yukino Miyazawa & Haruka found a new home to solace in, as they are relaxing from their biggest adventure, yet.

Yukino was sitting in her plush couch, smiling in bliss, "Such happiness, since it's awesome to be home… after leaving the Broken Shades. Bad memories…"

May finished unpacking, as she said, "Yuki, I'm done unpacking~! Can you believe that we have no rent for this?"

Yukino sighed, "Idiot. Don't you know the difference between free rent and paid rent?"

"Uh…"

"Look, you and I are still pitching in on the rent and bills, since I'm stuck with you, but let's not buy anything frivolous."

"I won't. It's a good thing that bakery I work in still wants me as an employee, despite my record of being a savior."

"Yeah, how is that going?"

"Well, after I left, feeling blue, they'd say that I needed days off, to sort myself. But I'm good now, since Hikari is resting in me."

Yukino smiled, as she petted her head, "That's good to hear."

May said, "By the way, Aya came by… and she said that she had to leave, seeing we are no longer allies."

Yukino replied, "That's true, since Aya had assisted us. Looks like you and I are on our own."

She sat up and said to May, "Come on. I'll treat you to some hamburger."

As they walked to the front door, suddenly…

BOOM!
Yukino cried, as she heard an explosion, "WHA? WHAT THE WHA?"

She sobbed, as she ran out, "No, no… NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NOOOOOO!"

May followed, as she called, "Yuki, wait up!"

XXXXX

They headed outside, seeing a huge silver capsule. Yukino looked on and asked, "What the hell is that?"

May shivered, "I don't know…"

She peered into the capsule, as it has a glass shield on top, showing a tall woman with long purple hair and big breasts, wearing a white jacket, purple shirt and skirt, and white boots. May asked, "Whoa… Who's she?"

Yukino looked in and gasped, "Urk!"

PSSSHHHHH…
The capsule opened, as Yukino stammered, "No… Not again… Please, anything but that…"

May calmed her down and said, "Yuki, don't be ridiculous!"

The capsule opened, as the woman opened her eyes, quickly. She spoke in a robotic tone, "Hello. Haruka… Yukino… It is delighted to meet you."

She stepped out of the pod, as Yukino grumbled, "So much for the peace and quiet…"

May said, "Now, now. There's more to this. Let her speak, if she's in danger."

The woman bowed and said, "My unit name is Ropponmatsu. But you can call me Alice."

Alice giggled, "I have heard good things about you."

Yukino shivered, "Roppon… … …matsu…?"

May sighed, "It's going to be one of those days, isn't it?"


The MIS-Adventures of Miyazawa & May in:


Clash to the Future


The robot woman, Alice, was in the apartment of Yukino & May, as she introduced herself, "I am Alice Ropponmatsu. I am built by my creator, my mother, Ropponmatsu Unit 1."

Yukino asked, "Oh? Which Ropponmatsu is it, again?"

She realized, as she said, "I see. You DO resemble your mother's looks and programming… but I wonder who your father is…"

She thought, "Because I sure don't believe a story like that."

Alice said, "Well, my daddy is nice, but how I came to be, it's classified."

Yukino replied, "What about your height? You stand about 10 feet tall!"

Alice corrected, "5 feet 11 inches… I am the tallest Ropponmatsu in my family… seeing I am at a tender Earth age of 20."

May said, "Whoa! She could play for the WNBA!"

Alice asked, "If that is the case, why do you ask me questions, in a personal matter?"

Yukino shivered, "I have nightmares of your kind… well, I'd rather not say."

May whispered to Alice, "Yuki had a bad experience with a Ropponmatsu of a different kind. It's Yuri, but more rape."

Alice gasped, "Oh, dear. Perhaps maybe the data that the Ropponmatsu unit possessed was from a Shoujo Ai dating sim… of a girl-on girl mannerism. But either way, we are more combat androids than lovers… unlike my mother unit."

Yukino asked, "So, do you know what serial number you are?"

Alice said, "Yes. I am Alice Ropponmatsu. I am Ropponmatsu Unit 5 – daughter of Unit 1 – model number 7677666-788; beneficiary to Ropponmatsu Unit 4 a.k.a. Violet."

Yukino gasped, "Holy crap… Lots of 6s, 7s, and 8s, I tell you."

She stated, "Alright, cut to the chase. Tell us what it is that you want, so we can get this over with."

May said, "Ignore her. She thinks we're going on another adventure, in which she thinks it's a misadventure."

Yukino smiled, "But I want in, since I want to go home, soon."

Alice said, "In due time. I just wanted to know if I can stay with you ladies, for a while. You know, experience with this time-, I mean, this environment is about."

Yukino replied, "I don't know."

Alice glared, "I promise I won't seduce you or anything, since I'm getting a boyfriend. I understand love and romance, but I would rather wait."

May smiled, "Fancy that. Plus, I'm amazed that you have big boobs, like the first Ropponmatsu, R-5!"

Alice smiled, "Call me Alice. And yes… not easy being an F-Cup."

She held her chest and blushes. She whispered, "Though, that's the curse of this body… too much mass, and it gets to me. But luckily, the creators made me resist to the adage of mass."

Yukino asked, "What are her boobs made of, helium?"


Meanwhile, in a huge rally, with a lot of women in black hair, wearing different maid outfits, fitted in colors of pink, purple, white, yellow, aqua, green, cyan, violet, and olive.

"I called you here because you're the nastiest bunch of warriors I've ever created! You're vicious! You're mean! YOU'RE MY kind of bad!"

A female voice boomed, as two women in a silhouette were holding a microphone. One woman called, "Because of this whole thing between the Onigiri dilemma, ONE troublemaking teenager has been a thorn in our crusade on a robot rule? Ever since Projects AM-Net and Yamo disappeared, for no good reason we cannot know, someone has to take their place! WHO GIVES TWO SHITS ABOUT THE WHOLE ROBOT RULE BY NAZI ROBOTS?"

The other voice pleaded, "Sis, no! Calm down. Don't be so racist… That's not in our programming…"

"Sorry…" she said, "I am sorry about it. The Nazi slang was stupid. Sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry. Anyway, you robot girls will rise up and take a stand!"

The second woman said, "Alright, ladies. Listen up! Do you want to fight for your robot beliefs?"

The Maidbots cheered, "YAY!"

The second woman said, "DO YOU WANT TO RULE FOR US?"

"YEAH!" They shouted in unison.

Both robots called, "DO YOU WANT TO HAVE THE TRUE ROBOT REBELLION?"

The Maidbots cheered on, as Haruka's picture showed on the huge LED screen. The Maidbots booed at her, as the woman appeared, in pink maid attire and white stockings, with her long pink hair done in pigtails, as she said, "YOU took the words right out of my mouth! Haruka is a danger to us robots! She trashed us like dolls! She treats us like dummies! She helps humans!"

They booed, "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

The woman in pink laughed, "But NO MORE! NO! MORE! And with my sister's guidance, we shall persevere over the human race! You see…"

The woman in blue appeared, in middle-length light blue hair and a blue maid outfit with fishnets, as she showed a metallic device that was repaired. She said, "Everyone… this was recovered, during our trip around the Salmon City area, called the Broken Shades Motel. This was the last known whereabouts of Haruka. This was a device that can transmogrify a human's genetic code and turn him or her into a robot. You see, we have the power to obtain the evilness of bringing the robot rule back in. However, this device… The Roboticizer… will change everything."

The woman in pink said, "Our goal is simple… We find Haruka, capture her, and make her into a robot slave to us. If she somehow becomes independent and sentient, we dismantle her… and then reprogram her… and then see what makes her so lovable, as a human being."

They cheered on, as the girls in pink and blue smirked evilly to each other.

XXXXX

The maids were in their dressing room, changing into their business suits. The woman in pink, Vera, said, "Aurora, how did the masses go?"

Aurora, the maid in blue, replied, "So far so good. Who knew we learned a lot about wickedness from Dr. Eggman, our idol?"

Vera smiled, "And we are excellent Maidbots, coming off our old coach, Cassiopeia."

She looked at a portrait of a huge tomboyish maidbot, in her orange and red maid outfit, and long silver hair, done in a braided ponytail. She then said, "Poor old Cassie. Now working with the Minnesota Timberwolves. She was hoping to bounce losers back in place."

Aurora complained, "Since when do you ever care for being in success?"

Vera smirked, "Because, my creator built me better… After all, I'm the oldest."

"By four measly hours! Don't forget, we're twins! Your creator is my creator, too!"

"Yeah. Of course, you were an accident!"

"So? One missed lever you weren't supposed to push, when our creator made us, and out popped moi, blue and colorful with a calm and serious side, with some lack of self-esteem. Big deal!"

"Go figure, you're evil! And so am I! In fact, we never found out about our creator."

"You think so?"

"Ma Robotnik never lies."

"Uh… We never met our mother, either."

Vera paused, but then said, "Well, for now, let us recharge and-."

Aurora said, "Aw, come on! Lemme know about this Haruka! I wanna learn more about the human we plan on turning into a robot for."

Vera said, "In due time, dear. For now, let's take a quick nap. OH! Don't forget tomorrow at Hane City. That's when we have a debt to collect from there."

Aurora sighed, "Whatever."

They went to sleep, as Aurora pouted, "Well, I'm doing this under protest, but it's fun."


That evening, Yukino was bathing in the tub, thinking to herself. She whispered, "Alice Ropponmatsu… It is almost like this one is very wholesome, unlike the ones we've met… unlike those *shudder* other robots I met."

She relaxed, as Alice was knocking in the door. She called out, "Miss Miyazawa, shall I join you?"

"CERTAINLY NOT!" Yukino roared, "CAN'T YOU SEE I'M BEING DISCREET?"

Alice said, "Sorry. I was hoping I would join you in the bath."

"UH, no. This is a bathtub, not an onsen."

"My error. Forgive me. But I go next, okay?"

Alice left, as Yukino replied, "Weird robot…"

She sat by the couch, as May went to her, "Alice."

"Oh, Haruka." Alice smiled, "To what do I owe you the pleasure, seeing we are different beings?"

May smiled, "Is there a reason why you came here, in that pod?"

Alice said, "It's not much. You see, that pod is my vessel, coming to here. I recall an issue, concerning your escapades from long ago, and I came here to rectify it."

"Which is…"

"Well, that's classified."

May then asked, "About your mother… She wouldn't happen to be the same Ropponmatsu that we befriended, long ago. Is she?"

"Affirmative. Ropponmatsu Unit 1, Model 3… She is my mother."

"But how so? It's like you were freshly built. You're only one year old."

"Actually… I'm running in perfect motion, for 20 years and counting."

"TWE-! TWAAAAAH! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?"

May fell off, as she shivered, "Twenty years?! You're a relic! You should be rusting up!"

Alice said, "Actually, unlike the Ropponmatsu Units of 1, 2, and 4 (Unit 3 being one-of-a-kind), we can last in a life span of 200 years… or whenever we are broken beyond repair."

"Oh. But you cannot be living that long, in twenty years!"

"Well, can you keep a secret?"

"Uh, sure…"

Alice approached May, as she whispered, "Haruka… You and Yuki will understand it, real soon… but in a couple months, I am going to be built."

"Months?" May asked, "It is summer, after all. When were you born?"

Alice beeped, as she processed, "November 11th, 20XX – 2:19am – born in the swamps of Ontario – fully operated and treated in F City, the birthplace of Mother Unit. This Ropponmatsu Unit is Ropponmatsu 5, built by CLASSIFIED, model number 7677666-788, successor to the Ropponmatsu Unit 4…"

Alice beeped, as she tilted her head up, "Haruka… Save me. Save my mother and me… It must not happen… I am happy for a robot rule, but… Happiness…"

She held her chest and said, "I must feel it. I am of limited emotions. I… am… Ro-."

Whrrrr…
May gasped, as Alice shut down, "ALICE!"

She shook her, as she cried, "ALICE! NO! WAKE UP! You can't die! YOU JUST CAN'T!"

Alice beeped, without moving, "System restart… Emotional Circuits tugged… restarting from last known file…"

May sighed, "Oh, thank god. For a minute, I thought a paradox got to you."

Alice rebooted and said, "Paradoxes are an illusion. Say that I act human, but I am not human, let alone I do believe that I'm a robot, which I am not, since I am a different kind of robot. I understand feelings, like all the others, including my own Mother Unit. Sadly, I am acting and look like a human, yet I am not human, but I feel human. And for the record, that paradox is of inconclusive answering, since it may process your brain into nothing, until BOOM!"

May malfunctioned from her brain, as she was dizzy, "Alice… UNGH! MY HEAD HURTS! AAAAAGH!"

Alice cried, "OH, DARN! I AM SO SORRY! Calm down!"

She held her by her chest, as May was severely dizzy. She moaned, "That was too confusing… I guess even robots that act human aren't too stupid to believe in a paradox."

Cucumber NOTE: Yes, always.

Alice whispered, "Are you okay now?"

May whispered, "You're so soft and warm… even for someone who is pushing 20, and the continuation of your lifespan. But why did you shut down?"

Alice said, "I am not good with emotions, in public. I promised myself I would not cry, like my mother, since she has emotional circuits installed in her. It's just… My mother just did not understand. I wanna be a happy girl… not for the sake of duty, but for helping the cities, as a woman who understands everything, and stay proud of what I do, since it is installed in my DNA… or in this case, my C-Drive."

May said, "Come now. You're not an appliance. You're special, since… well, I cannot say, since you are a robot at twenty years operating. Come on. Let's visit your mother."

She grabbed her hand, as Alice screamed, "NO!"

She jerked it away, as she whispered, "No… I just cannot…"

May asked, "Why? I mean, wouldn't Ropponmatsu 1 be happy about a Ropponmatsu 5, a one-of-a-kind daughter?"

Alice said, "It's… It is not just that. I just cannot do it."

"Come on, Alice. You can underst-."

"I WON'T GO!"

She boomed, as she said, "Even so, I cannot ruin this mission! Haruka, I am twenty years of age, but I understand that you trust me, but not your friend!"

May said, "Who? Yuki? She's had worse off. I mean, we've been through-."

"Hell? Yeah, figuratively and literally. Among other places… since I have your data. You are a Gemiloid descendant, from a dying race, and only a handful of people with a pure heart can hold the powers of the Gem."

"Wait… You know of my lineage? Even I don't even know my past."

"Then recount your enemies that you've met – Tohru Honda, Rei Tachibana, Yolei Inoue, Chitose Hibiya, Prussia, Souichiro Arima, Kanade Jinguji, Chris McLean, Mal, Makie Sasaki, Antagony, Four Teens of Adolescent Sinestro, a crab monster, Animatronic Sailor Guardians, The Mahora Clan, Kyu, Hunie Bucs…"

"WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!" May cried, as she said in panic, "Just stop! Most of them were eyesores and the most evil people I've ever met! But Chris McLean was the leading cause of these worlds, and I never met Kanade Jinguji, unless there was that time in the Galleria Mall."

Alice said, "I can assure you… death or not, the souls are their well-being are hostile. They are all your enemies, even those that wanted a change of heart."

"Like Nodoka Miyazaki?"

"She doesn't count."

"Well, you know what happened to her. Since Aya-ppe's wedding, a while back, I haven't heard news of her."

"Aya-ppe? Actually, I have no data on this Nodoka Miyazaki, since she disappeared, without a trace. News has it that she left the AUs, and disappeared from all the files."

"Huh?" May shivered, "Now I am scared…"

Alice said, "Do not worry, little one. Perhaps maybe we can shed a lot of light for you, since you needed my help."

May said, "Okay. I gots to know…"

She glared at her and said, "Just who are you, and what are you?"

Alice bowed and said, "I am a Ropponmatsu 5, the daughter of-."

"WE GET IT! Just tell me where you're from!" May whined.

Alice sighed, "Sheesh. You are in such a hurry. I am programmed to give introductions, if someone asks me who or what I am. And as for where I am from… you are incorrect on your question answering. I am not from where I am… I am from when I am…"

She confessed, as May was shocked, "You see, there's a reason why the Ropponmatsu 5 models are not available in your time, and why I am 20 years of age, model-wise and age-wise… I'm from the future."

May stammered, "Urk! Th-th-th-th-the… You're a time traveling robot?"

Alice huffed, "Well, I am NOT a T-1000, am I?"

"Oh, okay… Is this all a dream?"

"You and Yuki should know this, by now… But unless she knows, I cannot dare tell you anything further."

She walked off, as she said, "You are more than welcome to tell her, as long as she believes you or me."

"Are you saying that she won't believe me?"

"Naturally. Just let it go naturally, so in time, you and Yuki will understand everything, about why I am here, and how I came to pass, and even why I chose you. For now, mum's the word about me, including Mother Unit."

She smiled, as she held her hand out, "Trust me?"

May said, as she was confused. She said, "Oh… okay…"

Yukino appeared, as she asked, "Hey, girls. I heard a noise. You guys alright?"

Alice smiled and bowed, "Actually, we just had a nice and friendly conversation. Right, Haruka?"

May laughed, "Uh, yeah."

Alice powered down, as she was in Sleep Mode. She stood in place, as Yukino asked, "Weird robot."

She said, "I don't care why she is friendly, but she has to go, now. If she's nothing but a friendly sort, we just can't bear with it."

May insisted, "Bear with it, Yuki. We may need her. She said some things I do not understand…"

"And?"

"Well, that's it. I think after she was worried about telling me about her mother, I forget what she said."

"Well, that's fine. First thing, tomorrow, we're going to drop Alice off with the Ropponmatsus, back at the Broken Shades Motel, just for a visit. I'm going to make a call for tomorrow."

Yukino went to the phone, as May pleaded, "WAIT! We can't! Alice cannot dare talk to her!"

Yukino smiled, "Family issues, huh? Well, I know family issues from my Souichiro-kun… since he was abused by his mother, and abandoned by his father. THIS is different."

She dialed the number, as May continued to talk Yukino out of it. But Yukino just ignored her and got the phone call, "Hello? Is this Ropponmatsu 1's room?"

She got the call from Ropponmatsu 1, as she said, "Hello, Miss Miyazawa. We have missed you, over the past number of months."

"OH, that. We moved out. We're fine."

"So, what brings you here?"

"Well, I was wondering… Do you have a daughter?"

"Daughter? I-. Huh? Oh… Well, to be quite frank, I am currently single. I recently broke-up with my boyfriend, since my missions come first. It is a motive I do in my operating systems. Why do you ask?"

"Well, from what I hear, this Ropponmatsu is yours, except she doesn't look like you…"

"Oh. Well, maybe a newer model that Miss Izumi created. No matter. If I have time, perhaps I can visit you at Mr. Building, and meet with this Ropponmatsu. What is her operating system number?"

Yukino confessed, "Uh… No number, I can recall. But she says that she's Ropponmatsu 5 and-."

The receiver dropped, as R-1 was shocked. She whispered, "No… It… It cannot be true…"

She felt her stomach, as she whispered, "My upgrades… it is… not… true… I… have to-."

BZZT! Whrr…
She powered down, remaining rigid and frozen. Yukino called from the speaker, "Hello? Ropponmatsu 1? Hello! HELLO! Grr…"
Click!
She hung up the phone.

She then said, as she looked at the sleeping robot, "Ropponmatsu 1 is hiding something… I wish I knew what it was…"

May whispered, as she thought, "Yuki…"


Hours later, as Ropponmatsu 1 recovered from her shock, she went to LSAAWS HQ, and was visited by Konata Izumi, who was a short girl with long blue hair, a white lab coat, and a white bandage on her right eye, after her battles with Kona Force 7 and Satsuki Kiryuin.

"Master Izumi…" she said to her, "What is wrong with me?"

Konata asked, "Okay, R-1. Maybe we can sort your problems. What is you status report, robot?"

R-1 said, "Well… it happened, after my hunky ex-boyfriend and I drifted apart… and one week later, after the Hunie Buc situation ended, I heard a voice inside me that says "Mother… Please… Do not take me away…" And after that, I feel a buzz in my stomach… and somehow…"

She held her stomach, as she said, "Is this how humans feel pain?"

Konata smiled and said, "Well, perhaps we can examine you, from inside. I promise you… you won't be dismantled. I'm just going to scan you and see what went wrong. If it's anything serious, we'll do what we can to exterminate the cause."

R-1 smiled and replied, "Thank you."

She lied down, as Konata added, "Of course, if it is serious, I'll have Miyuki-san remove you from the force, in an indefinite suspension."

R-1 said, "But there are other versions of me to replace."

"No, you're one-of-a-kind, unlike Ropponmatsu 3…"

"Nikki R… I'm sorry she was trashed…"

"She saved the worlds from a robot rebellion. And Ropponmatsu 4 decided to go on a date with Iwata, since she was of the original model."

Konata said, "This'll only be a couple of minutes, so don't move."

R-1 laid in place, as she went to Standby Mode. Konata used her computer and looked at the internal works of the android. She then spotted the problem.

"No way…" she whispered.

Meanwhile, in the slums of Hane City, Vera & Aurora were riding in a black limo, with a maidbot in black hair, wearing a grey uniform, driving it. Vera said, "We're going back to our employer, Model 201934. We won't be long."

The Maidbot Driver said, "Yes, ma'am."

Aurora complained to Vera, "Still, even in our age, we still get treated like common sex dolls."

Vera laughed, "Please. You just couldn't resist, like me! Ba-ha ha-HAAAAAH!"

Aurora sighed, "I'm just glad we quit that dime-a-dozen hooker job… all for being abused like that."

Vera smirked, "Well, being that we were programmed for carnal pleasures, we have ways. Personally, I would've traded my Sexual Circuits for more culinary and business matters. You know how it is."

Aurora thought, as she was pissed, "Whoever created us, I hope he's not a sick pervert…"

The limo arrived at the huge blue house. Very and Aurora stepped out, with the Roboticizer on Aurora's back. Vera said, "Remember, this is a personal business matter with our ex-boss. Besides, you needed to be away from fat ugly men."

"Humans are so grotesque, but not him…"

"Indeed. And THAT is why we must have a perfect run as rulers of the Robot Race; not to mention the fact that he'll be the first to be roboticized."

They rang the doorbell, as he called, "Come in!"

They stepped inside, as they viewed the purple walls of the living room. Vera asked, "Sir? We came, as you requested."

Aurora shivered, "Let's just go home…"

Vera said, "Oh, relax and keep your robo-panties in place! Once we finish, we'll give him the commission, and then we'll be on the way."

Aurora barked, "COMMISSION? I thought you had it!"

"I thought you had it! Don't tell me you lost it!"

"Uh, no…"

"Ugh. Never mind. We'll give it to him, when we get back. Besides, NO money means NO debt to pay off."

"Aw, come on, Sis. He's not a pimp."

"Well, sort of a pimp. But what do you expect, being that this place is known for lust and smut. BARF, figuratively speaking!"

"As soon as we get this debt paid off, we'll begin our rule in these cities… And hopefully-. VERA! PUT THOSE EARPHONES OUT OF YOUR EARS!"

Vera was listening to music, with her pink earphones on, attached to her neck. It was playing music, bopping her head a bit. Aurora sighed, "This is ridiculous. I don't have an MP3 player in my body…"

Vera asked, as she was listening to music, "You say something, Sis?"

Aurora sighed, "Never mind."

The man was creeping behind the wall, as he overheard the conversation. He whispered, "Those sexbots are crazy… Is that why they were employed by me?"

Vera & Aurora waited, as Aurora was pouting, and Vera was still drowning in her music, enjoying it. The man peeked out, as Aurora looked at him. He panicked, as he thought to himself, "They're gonna kill me. She's looking at me, because they were lawfully awful slaves…"

XXXXX

At HQ, Konata then printed out the results, as she said, "I better tell Miyuki-chan and the others about this. Plus, working with one eye is difficult."

R-1 asked, "What is the matter, Master Konata?"

Konata said, "Well, I'll tell you, once I give the word to the boss and the others. After that, I'll give you the info on the condition of your body."

She left, as R-1 smiled, lying down, "Neat… She is very nice."

At the office, Konata showed the paperwork to Miyuki, as she whispered, "Oh, my. Is this Ropponmatsu Unit…?"

Konata nodded, "Yes. I want you to do this planned with all active LSAAWS agents."

Miyuki smiled, "Granted. Have Miyuki R work on the decorations and the party planning."

Konata bowed, "Yes, ma'am."


That night, Alice was sleeping in the bed, as May looked on, completely worried. She whispered, "Alice…"

She lied next to her, as Alice said, "Why are you sleeping here?"

"It's my bed. And there's plenty of room. Can I sleep with you? Yuki forbid me to sleep with her. She has her own bed, and it's better than a futon at the Broken Shades."

"Indeed. If that is the case… how about sleeping with me?"

"Sure. You won't-?"

"No, I won't. Because I want to find a hot guy for me, in my time… but it will be hard to find a boyfriend, since Mom dated Dad…"

May hugged her, as she said, "Say, Alice. What happened to your mother, in your future?"

Alice turned away, as she was sad, "I cannot say… Because, it's heartfelt… You will know, once Yuki trusts me… like you have. Good night."

She powered down, as May cuddled by her. They fell asleep, as Yukino was by the doorway, smiling in happiness. "Yes. Haruka has a new friend…"

She left to her room, not knowing that she befriended a robot from the future.


The man appeared in front of Vera & Aurora, as he was wearing a red Hawaiian shirt, and with slick black hair and a huge chin.

"Quagmire," Aurora bowed.

He smiled, "That's Mister Quagmire to you. I needed more bones, since we're talking business. Anyway, what brings you here?"

Vera removed her earphones, as she said, "Glenn Quagmire, we came for the debt that you owe us. You gave us a duty, only to pay off our hard-earned lives. But you haven't paid us, after we walked out of the job."

He barked, "What, are you crazy? You were both fired, because you two had a three-way with a hunky guy, only for you two bicker, like human sisters!"

Vera jeered, pointing at Aurora, "She started it!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

He boomed, "SHUT UP! Both of you! You're lucky he was happy for you two! But no one wanted to date you, because you two are squabbling sister robots! Besides, some of our customers have seen you as vivacious and sexy…"

Aurora smirked, "Is that so?"

She showed him the Roboticizer, as she said, "Do you know of this?"

Quagmire smiled, "That's some pretty mean shit. Haven't seen it in ages. A Robotnik Roboticizer from Mobius City. You got the older model, and they are very rare devices."

Vera said, "We found it as it was rebuilt by us, and in pieces. But it's still in working condition."

She smirked evilly, "But Mr. Quagmire, you have something we need… as long as you know something… about the Salmon City warehouse… since we found it here, next to the DNA of a Saki Hanajima… And we know that you have ways about the whores and anti-whores of the AUs."

She showed him a picture of May, in her red bandana and shirt. Quagmire said, "Yeah. Her? I don't remember her or recall, but I do believe that she once jilted me of cakes. This girl kicked me out, for a request for erotic cakes. And she said that she's in a family-friendly store! Some people… and she's only 12! Come on, man! Why can't we have good service? I hope she gets fired for this!"

Vera smirked, "Well, Aurora will get this child, for you, if you give us the debt."

Aurora whispered, "Vera… I didn't say that."

Quagmire huffed, "What are your demands?"

Vera smirked, as Aurora said, "Heh-heh heh-HAAAH! Give us the money, boss! That's part of our debt."

Vera added, "And you owe us for treating us like dirt, like the pervert you are. We are going to make changes in Hane City."

Quagmire growled, "Like your robot rule?"

The Maidbots smiled, as Aurora said, "You have heard us, you eavesdropper."

Vera smiled, "Well, then, let's see how well you can Giggity, without a body. Ba-ha ha-HAAAAAH!"

He asked, "I'm sorry, but did you laugh like a chicken?"

Vera blushed, "Maaaaaaaay-be?"

He smiled, as he approached the safe, "You bitches have the power, but not the gadgets. I mean, you cannot make a human into a robot, without the proper tools."

He opened the safe, as he showed Vera & Aurora a huge shiny purple ray gun, with blue, red, and yellow LED lights. They were in awe, as he said, "THIS is the newest in robotic reforming technology – The Dalek Digitizer! Perfect to make humans into androids, permanent results, no cures. Good for 200 years."

Aurora asked, "Where did you get that?"

Quagmire smiled, "I found it in a huge city in Green Hill Zone, left by some character called Silver the Hedgehog. I don't know, something from the future or something… All this is, apparently, is the prototype."

Aurora gasped, "THIS is made in Salmon City!"

Vera replied, "They just made plans for the new Roboticizer! This won't even be ready, until November!"

Aurora responded, "I know! They're Beta-testing it!"

Quagmire smiled, as he aimed his pistol at the girls, "Hand it over, ladies. That machine is mine now, since you wanted the debt. YOU get NO repaid debt. You robots are all the same, since you care about killing humans. I can tell, since you ladies are pure evil."

Aurora smiled, "Yeah? What are you going to do?"

He smiled, "Something I should've done, long ago. DIE!"

BANG! BANG! BANG!
Quagmire shot Aurora in the face, piercing bullets into her face. However, the bullets bounced off her face, leaving her skin unfazed and undented. Aurora brushed her bangs, as she said, "Is that all?"

Vera said, "Do it. Have him one of us."

Quagmire gasped, as he ran out of bullets, "No! NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! OH, GODDAMN IT!"

He threw the gun down, as Aurora glared, aiming the Roboticizer, and then said, "You just made the biggest mistake of your life."

Vera smiled, as she grinned demonically, "Now, give us our debt, and tell us what we know… about the prototype… for this machine that we will steal from you…"

Quagmire was shivering, as Vera and Aurora had him cornered.

The next morning, Yukino turned to Alice, as she asked her, "Alice… Listen, I talked with your mother, yesterday. And she seemed speechless."

Alice sobbed, "You told her?"

"Well, it's like she knew about you, but she couldn't say. She powered off, and then-."

"NO! Stop! I'm so sorry… I really shouldn't have told Haruka about this… but where do you used to live?"

Yukino exclaimed, "The Broken Shades, near Salmon City. It's a desolate city, but-."

Alice sniffled, as she growled, "We have to stop it. Yukino, perhaps you and I can go back to the city."

Yukino said, "Back there? Why?"

May called to Yukino, "Yuki~! I'm going to work now! I'm taking the bus!"

She left, as Yukino called back, "OKAY! Be careful!"

She asked Alice, "Okay. But only if we do not tell Haruka about this. Just tell me what is going on, before I can go with you."

Alice said, "We will need time to prepare. I will tell you in 20 minutes. I need to process the mission protocol. Give me that allotted time."

She beeped, "Downloading… 1% added… 2% processed… 5… 7…"

Yukino said, "Okay… I'll be taking a shower, while you download. B-R-B."

Yukino went to the bathroom, as Alice said, "Take your time, Yukino."

She turned away, as she beeped, "11 percent processed… Yukino, you and Haruka will help me… save my future…"
