I do not own the film Wall-E
This story is for my friend Total Anime Fangirl
AUTO-biography, being the story of an autopilot who escaped death after failing his directive and in doing so, got a second chance at life.
1 My Awakening
Voices. That was the first thing I heard. Of course, after being shut down and plunged into darkness for who-knew-how-long, it was difficult to figure out that was what I was hearing. I could not make out the words, but I could tell there were several people around. I thought one of them sounded like Captain McCrea, but I could not be sure. I could not even see in this state. I would guess I was what humans call "delirious" at the time. Dimly, I felt that I was connected to a computer. I would learn later that I had been receiving a diagnostic test. At the moment, however, my ear spokes began to pick up on bits of the conversation.
"…really don't think we should be doin' this, man."
"What, you scared? It's a freakin' steering wheel for Forthright's sake. It's not gonna jump out and eat you for breakfast. Sheesh." It was a pair of teenagers, and they were probably up to no good. Suddenly, the two boys were joined by a female sounding voice that had just the slightest mechanical ring to it.
"Honestly, you two are such big wimps. I don't see why I even brought you. I could very easily have tested it and set up this prank myself."
"Aw, shut up, Kiva." the second boy said, "We ain't afraid. This is gonna be the greatest prank EVER!"
"Yeah, if we don't get tazed." the first boy remarked.
"Oh, relax. We don't even need the whole thing. Thanks to Kiva, we know the dumb thing works. Now we just take what we need and scram!"
"Right. So, do these things come off easy?" They had reached me and from the sound of their voices, they were right in front of me. I felt the computer disconnect with a start
"I dunno. Try it and see."
Suddenly, something wrapped around one of my ear spokes and yanked hard on it. my emergency programming kicked in and sent me into panic mode. I jolted up off my charging dock and started spinning my wheel around as fast as I could. I also tried to grab the assailant with my claw, but since I was blind, I couldn't find him. Frantically, I started racing around the bridge like a madman, the boy holding on to my wheel for dear life, screaming the whole time.
"DUDE, LET GO! LET! GO!" his friend called. I decided to add to the effect and spoke to the human in thought speech
Yes, let go, I said. You cannot hold on much longer.
It worked. I heard the boy gasp as I felt him turn loose of my spoke.
"D-d-d-did you g-g-guys just hear th-that?" he stuttered.
"Hear what?" the girl asked.
"The voice. The one that said to let go."
"That was me, you dumbwad." the second boy remarked.
"No it wasn't, it was like…in my head." the first boy said.
"Um, hello! There's still a crazed steering wheel spazzing out here guys." the girl called.
"Well, what do you want us to do about it?" This was both boys. I decided to address all of them now.
Leave, I told them. Leave this place and never return.
This time I heard three gasps.
"That...was definitely not me." The second boy stated.
"That was kinda scary." The girl agreed.
"LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!" yelled the first boy. I could hear the receding footsteps as they ran off. For a moment, I smiled inside. But then, without the gullible teenagers there to frighten, I quickly got bored. And that was when I decided to turn on the bridge's computer
Oh, yes I did, yes I did end it there. Please R&R! I really want to know what you think of this so far. Chapter Two should be up soon. Also, I heard a rumor that there was going to be a sequel to Wall-E. Do you want this to happen?
