In a big bedroom filled with both electronics that were more complicated than those of a space shuttle and classic, blue and white colors laid Emily Brown, twenty-three year old scientist and inventor. Next to this blonde and slim woman was one of her inventions, a replica of an NS-5 from the poular movie I,robot. Strange as it may seem to those who don't know Emily Brown, this is a very common site in this house.

Emily was looking back to six months ago as she laid beside the sleeping robot next to her, herslef half asleep.


Six months ago, a famous scientist, Doctor Alan McNanheimer, called Emily from his home land of Germany to discuss what he heard from one of his students, a graduate of the school Emily Brown has been teaching science at.

"Emily!" called Emily's best friend since kindergarden, Vickie, over the phone. "Some guy with a hard to pronounce name wants to speak with you!" she yelled into the kitchen.

"Mister McNanheimer, this is a real pleasure, sir! May I ask what your reason is for calling me, sir?" Emily said nervously over the phone. She did'nt want anyone knowing of her inventions, including a time machine she re-made from her grandfather's old one. She simply made them to help herslef and to help in evolution for mankind throughout the timeline, like trying to stop certain events like The Salem Witch Trails and helping victims of tragedy's like The Great Depression while pretending to be one of the people of that time.

"One of my students has told me that you have many wonderful inventions and that you are both a scientist and an inventor, Miss Brown. May I ask if I may view your technical accomplishments so I may confirm them as the new wave of technology for my academy and perhaps the rest of Germany and America?"

"-What the hell did he just say?"

"-Vickie, please get off the phone!"

"So how about it, Miss Brown? I would love it if you could come over to my academy and show your lovely inventions to my students. I assure you that you will not be disapointed. I shall evan pay for the trip myself!"

"I think you outa go for it, girl! I wanna go to Germany!"

"Vickie, get off the phone!"

"So, what do you say, Miss Brown? Will you show me your wonderful inventions? I beleive if my student says the truth about your wonderful inventions, you will be very successful!" He said.

Emily knew if this was a bad thing, the herself would be here from the future to tell her it was. She looked out of the kitchen window with the phone still to her ear. All she could see was Vickie in the living room, still listening to her conversation through the living room phone. She waited for a worried version of herself to rush through the house, begging her to say no and and that it will be a big mistake... But she only saw Vickie on the living room sofa, still listening in.

"Hello?" Said Mister McNanheimer after five seconds of silence.

"Yes! I accept. When would you suggest I start packing for the trip?" Emily responded quickly.

"-Alright, we're going to Germany!"

"-Vickie!"

"-Goin'" Vickie finally hung up the phone and then pressed her ear against the kitchen wall.


Suddenly Emily was awoken by a robot just like the one she was sleeping next to, only the same size of a five year old boy. The middle of the large bed lowered with every jump he made. "Mommy! Daddy! Wake up! It's my birthday! I'm five today! Get up! Get up! Get up! It's my birthday!" a very soft and pleasant voice much like the one's of the NS-5's Emily was so fond of yelled as he jumped. His voice was just like most NS-5's, only like a five year old boy's as well.

Emily slowly sat up while the robot next to her sprang into action. "Is it your birthday? I think it is!" said the NS-5's deep and pleasant voice, with exitment in his deep, bright-blue eyes. The smaller one stopped jumping and landed on the other NS-5's lap.

"So where do you want to go, birthday boy?" said Emily, wide awake now. The younger NS-5 looked at her with innocent bright-blue eyes just like the other one's. "I wanna go to the park and meet some humans my age!"

"They're called 'Friends', Alfred!" said Emily.

"I want to meet some 'friends'!" Alfred said.

"Good boy!" Emily kissed him on the forehead before he got up and ran down the hallway after hearing the door bell ring. The robot next to Emily, who was named Sonny, laid his alloy head back down upon the soft pillow. His blue, swirling brain warmed the pillow slightly as Emily gently laid her head on his chest. "I'm so glad I accepted that German scientist's offer." she said softly as Sonny ran his slim, metal fingers through her hair.

"Yes, now you're a inventor instead of a teacher. I'm so glad you've been discovered." Sonny said softly near Emily's ear.

"I'm just glad Ralph did'nt tell him about the time machine." Emily giggled. Ralph was one of her old and best students, and the one the German was talking about. Emily was almost half-asleep again when she felt Sonny move. Before she had lifted her head up completely, he had kissed her, causing her to almost fall back. Emily leaned forward and relaxed as he held her tightly in his machine arms.

Emily suddenly heard knocking at the door. Emily and Sonny both stopped what they were doing and looked to see Vickie, Alfred with his arms around her legs. "Vickie, what was Mommy doing to Daddy?" he looked up at Vickie with his big and bright blue eyes.

Vickie raised one of her eye-brows and looked at Emily, her hands still on Sonny's chest. "Yeah, Mommy, what were you doin' to Daddy?" Vickie said.

"Can we go to the park now? I wanna go meet some humans-I mean-friends!" Alfred said, still hugging Vickie's legs together.

"Yeah, I wanna go see if any single guys are out walkin' their dogs!" Vickie smiled and winked.

"Um, we're kinda busy, Can you come back in-um-one, maybe two hours?" Emily smiled.

Vickie looked confused. "You don't look busy!" she said.

Emily rolled her eyes. "... Of course we don't..." Emily mumbled as she got out of bed and went to her large closet and picked out an outfit.
