Matthias strode through the small android shop. It was an independent shop that sold the rejects from the major chains, but it was the only place where he could afford to purchase an android. None of the models appealed to him much until he saw a blond one with messy hair covering its face. Matthias called the attention of the store owner and indicated that he was interested in purchasing it.

"Eh, this one is a bit temperamental, sir, are you sure?" the man asked Matthias, "You see, he doesn't follow orders well. He's not cordial at all; in fact he's a bit grumpy."

Matthias nodded. "I'm sure, I'll make him love me," he said cockily, laughing. The store owner laughed along with him and opened up the case the android 'slept' in.

"Whatever you say, mate." He grabbed the androids arm and pushed back the artificial skin to reveal a control panel. "Press this button to turn him on and this knob controls his free will" He explained as he activated the android and turned the free will knob down to zero.

His eyes lit up and he began to move, pushing his hair away from his face. "Yes master?" he asked, looking between the two men standing before him, wondering who his master was.

Matthias stepped forward and smiled. "That would be me. I think I'll call you Lukas, how's that sound?"

Lukas sighed. "Yes, master"

"Call me Matthias," he said before turning to the store owner. "How much does he cost?"

The man charged Matthias 500 euros and handed him the android's official deed of ownership. Matthias thanked the man and threw Lukas over his shoulder. Lukas protested to being lifted off the ground but Matthias just laughed it off and carried him out of the store.

Once Matthias arrived at home with his new android, he set him down on the couch and pushed the skin on his arm aside to reveal the control panel. He turned the free will knob to its highest setting and returned the skin to its place. Lukas looked at Matthias confusedly, "thank you…"

"You're welcome," Matthias said, pinning Lukas' hair back with a cross shaped pin and smiling. "Tell me about yourself."

"I can perform all the actions performed by a human. I do not need to eat, drink, sleep, or have sex, but I can." He stated automatically.

Matthias laughed and shook his head. "That is certainly useful information, but I meant to tell me about what you like and such."

Lukas looked confused. "I have never experienced anything. I do not know what I like."

Matthias stood up, "let's change that right now, we are going to get you some life experiences," he said grabbing his keys and walking out of the house.

Lukas went after him, calling "where are you going?"

"We're going to my brother Berwald's house," he answered, getting in the car.

Dutifully, Lukas followed and got in the car as well.
