"Hey Hannah. Hannah, wake up." We were sitting on a bench in Disneyland, watching the people go by. Hannah had her head on my shoulder; she had fallen asleep. Couldn't say I blamed her; we had gotten up early that morning. However, this was to good. I poked her gently in the ribs. "Wake up."

"Huh? Wha—"

"Look." I pointed at a metallic object that appeared to be rolling in our direction.

"That's not…"

"I think it is. Let's go look."

We got up from the bench and walked over to the metallic object. As we got closer, we discovered what it was. "Oh my gosh, it is. That's sooo cool!" I said excitedly. Standing directly in front of us was a three foot animatronic version of Wall-e, the robot from the movie. It had blinking eyes, rollers for feet and hands that clasped each other. It also talked.

"Waaaallleee," it droned, sounding exactly like the movie robot.

Hannah squatted in front of the robot, checking it out. "Hi."

"Eeevvaaa."

I chuckled. "Hey Hann, I think you have a boyfriend."

"Shut-up."

"This is amazing. Look how everything fits together. It's incredible."

"Yeah." Hannah held her hand up. Wall-e looked at the hand, then held its own hand up to Hannah's, mimicking the action. "Hmmm, I wonder if he sings Hello Dolly." Suddenly, Wall-e's hand went down. He pointed a finger to himself, then pressed a button on his front.

Put on your Sunday clothes when you are down and out, put on your Sunday clothes and have your picture took.

Hannah and I looked at each other. Wall-e proceeded to spin around and around and around on his wheels, seeming to dance to the song. Hannah and I laughed. "Okay, that's cool," she said.

"Yeah," I said, nodding in agreement. Finally, the music stopped and Wall-e stopped spinning.

"Waaaallleee," he said, sounding pleased with himself. I squatted down next to Hannah, looking at Wall-e. He tilted his head and blinked. I wonder…

"Can you compact trash?" I asked.

Wall-e stared for a split second, appearing to think it over. Suddenly, the front flap on his body clanged to the ground, revealing a trash compartment. He pointed inside. "Wall-e! Wall-e! Wall-e!"

"Um, Leslie, I think he wants trash," Hannah pointed out.

"Uh, all I have is this empty drink cup. I guess that'll work." I put my drink cup inside. Wall-e looked at what I had put in, then pointed inside again.

"I think it wants more," said Hannah.

I looked around for a trash can. Suddenly, I spotted one overflowing with trash a few feet away. "Stay there, I'll be right back." I left Hannah with Wall-e, then walked over to the trash can. I picked up a handful of trash that wasn't to gross and walked back over to Wall-e and Hannah. I squatted down once more and stuffed the trash inside Wall-e's trash compartment. Appearing satisfied with the amount of trash I had put in, the front flap clanged closed. Suddenly, there was a mixture of whirring, clanging, banging and gears grinding. It was a horrible sound and Hannah and I were forced to cover our ears. After a few seconds, the front flap clanged open once again, spitting out a perfectly compacted cube of trash.

"Ta-da!" Wall-e stretched out his arms in triumph.

"OH MY GOSH! THAT IS SOOO COOL!" I squealed, possibly a bit to loudly.

"Leslie, shut-up! You'll scare him!"

"THAT WAS SOOO COOL!"

Wall-e looked at me for a split second, then…"AAAAHHHHH!! EVA! EVA! EEEVVAAA!!" Wall-e threw his arms up over his head and raced through the crowd, shouting "EVA!" all the way.

"Nice job Les. You scared him."

"Guess I was a little loud, huh?"

"Ya think?"

"Maybe I should go apologize."

Hannah cocked an eyebrow. "Les, he's an animatronic robot; I don't think it'll make much difference."

"But what if it does? You can't tell me animatronic robots don't have feelings."

Hannah rolled her eyes. "Les…"

"Oh come on, humor me."

Hannah sighed. "Alright. Let's go find him so you can apologize. He shouldn't be hard to find; I think I can still hear him."
