Odd Little Mannerisms
By Chibinaoka


The sun had risen for about a couple of hours in the city of Tokyo. Some were already up and about while others, like Hideki Motosuwa, were still in bed. It was a beautiful Saturday morning and Hideki was taking advantage of not having any class or work to attend by sleeping in. A content smile curled itself on his lips. Turning, he nuzzled the corner of his face in his pillow. Slowly, he began to wake up and he opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Chi's sleeping face. She looked so peaceful even if in reality, she wasn't sleeping at all. His eyes looked up a bit and he saw Sumomo already up with a big smile on her face. Hideki closed his eyes and it was only a few minutes after closing his eyes that he realised that Sumomo was much closer to him then he first though. When his eyes shot open, he was fully awaken by Sumomo standing extremely closes to him, still bearing her huge smile. Letting out a loud yelp, Hideki sprung up in surprise.

"Good morning scary master!"
It took a few minutes for Hideki to recover from the shock and all the noise he made activated Chi. She looked up at Hideki and smiled.
"Chiii. Good morning, Hideki"
"Good morning, Chi." Hideki smiled.
Both stood up and from the bed and Sumomo approached them. She blew her whistle while holding one hand in the air.
"It's now time for your morning exercises scary master."
Sumomo began her usual aerobic workout routine while blowing a little tune trough her whistle. Chi began to fallow along. For a moment, Hideki observed the two Persocoms before joining in to his surprise. Every morning he hesitated but every morning he did the workout with Sumomo and Chi. Even though Sumomo had been living with Hideki and Chi for a month now, Hideki was still taken off guard by her morning workouts and other little things Sumomo did.

"One, two, one, two, one, two..."
Sumomo stretched her arms upwards, then down, then in front and so forth. While still fallowing along, Hideki observed the little Persocom and couldn't help but ponder. He wondered what Shimbo was thinking when he programmed Sumomo. Now that Hideki saw Sumomo every day at home instead of only when he was with Shimbo, he had noticed Sumomo's quirky behaviour. Sumomo would often be blowing her whistle and was always cheery. She would even cheer him on, when she wasn't scared of him. Sumomo had odd little mannerisms that made Hideki come to the conclusion that Sumomo was defiantly a unique, and odd, Persocom. Personality wise anyway.

Sumomo's loud whistle blowing brought Hideki out of his train of thoughts. He stopped his workout and watched as the little Persocom simply walked away with her usual smile. He sighed. What little odd things she would do today, Hideki could only wonder.
