Hiya fans, Yugisgirl89 here. Surprised are we? Instead of doing a fanfic on another anime (like Yugioh) I decided to do one of a 1986 movie called Short Circuit. Wow this movie was out, in theaters, 3 years before I was born! This is a one-shot.

Here are the characters for this fanfic:

Newton Crosby

Number five (Johnny Five)

Tragedy, Agnst

It's just a machine

By: Yugisgirl89

"It's a machine! It doesn't get ticked off, it's not happy, its not sad, doesn't laugh at your jokes, it just runs programs!" Yeah that's what I believed about my life's work, creating robots. But after the adventures I had with Stephanie and Number... I mean Johnny Five, my life has never been the same.

A young brown haired, amber eyed man looked over his papers too see a machine driving at night. Next to him a young beautiful woman was laying next to him. Her head was resting on his shoulder sound asleep. The young man sighed, "Are you sure you don't want to take a break Johnny Five?"

The robot turned his head looked at him through his mechanic eyes then turned his head back on the road, "Newton, I'm fit as a fiddle, quit worrying about me."

"Oh alright Johnny Five but if you need to take a break just tell me ok?"

"Okey, dokey Smokey."

Newton looked down at his papers. The blueprints of Johnny Five. Those blueprints that inspired him to become an engineer and create robots that can help the world. Newton looked up again and gazed at the machine watching him move the steering wheel with his long flimsy mechanical arms. 'He drives so much like a human, but looks like a machine. Am I going crazy? No I can't I confirmed myself when we were in the middle of nowhere...

"Who is your programmer?"

"Me," replied Number Five as he opened his switches located inside his mechanical body.

"(snickers) You, you re-wired all of your switches," and takes out his screw driver getting ready to fix the problem, "No wonder why you are malfunctioning." But a mechanical hand stopped him from proceeding,

"Nuh uh, switches are my switches. Life not malfunction, not malfunction, I am alive,"

"No, no you're not... ok, then why did you ignore your programming?"

"Programming says destroy is disassemble, make dead. Number five cannot,"

"Why? Why cannot?"

"Is wrong! Incomplete! Newton Crosby P.H.D not know this?"

"Well, of course I know it's wrong to kill! But who told you?" Number Five paused for awhile then replied, "I told me."

Thinking back I really wanted to believe Number five. But when it finally came into my senses he was alive it was too late... well what I thought was too late.

"Newton, Nweton Crosby are you ok," Spoke Johnny Five looking at me again before looking at the road. I sighed, "Yeah I'm fine quit worrying about me."

"Ok,"

"Hey Johhny?"

"Yes,"

"How far till we make it to Montana?"

"With my calculations 2 hours and 56 minuets after we pass lookout pass." I snickered, "Thank you Johnny Five."

'What am I kidding for Johnny's not a human he I mean it's just a machine. It thinks its human but deep inside of it, its structure is full of gadgets, gizmos, and wires. If it really were a human he would have a soul. I wonder if Johnny Five dies will that of his soul appear right before me then go up to the skies?

'No Crosby don't thinks such barbaric things like that of course he's human!'

'But if it is a human where's the soul? I'm telling you it's just a machine.'

"Stop it, stop it voices in my head!" Johnny Five looked and Crosby his mechanical eyes full of worry, "Newton?"

"Johnny stop this van now!" I cried clutching my head. Stephanie woke up full with worry too. "Newton what's wrong!"

"I need to get out of the van now!" I cried unlocking the door and jumping out of the van.

Stephanie screamed and Johnny Five hit the breaks fast. Then Stephanie got out of the van and saw the most horrific sight. She saw Newton Crosby laying on the ground his head cracked spilling his intrails. In his hand he held the construction paper building Johnny Five. "S-Stephanie," whispered Crosby. Stephanie kneeling down to him, tears streaming down her face, "Why," was the only word that came out.

"I, I did it to stop the voices inside my head,"

"Voices what voices?"

"Voices to disassemble Johnny Five. They kept telling me that he's just a machine. I wanted to prove…" and Crosby died. Stephanie wailed and embraced Crosby her white sweater stained of his blood.

In the distance Johnny Five looked down at his mechanical arms his mechanical eyes wide, "Is he right. Am I just a machine?" then he maneuvered away leaving Stephanie behind.

Sorry guys not as long as I thought it would be. As I said this was a one shot. Hoped you liked it and hope you R&R for me. Yugisgirl89
