Leela, Fry and Bender were just returning from a very boring delivery to the boring planet of Snoozella. They docked the ship and got out.

"Jeez!" Bender yelled. "What a boring trip."

"I didn't know you could actually be bored to death!" Fry exclaimed. "Huh, Leela, huh? Huh?"

Leela rolled her eyes. "Yes, you can."

"Yeah I know! You saw all those guys that had died! Crazy, right? Huh, huh?"

"Fry, stop. I don't know what you're getting at, but it's incredibly annoying."

"Awww…"

"Good news, everyone!" Professor Farnsworth popped out of nowhere with a smile on his face. "I have a very unuuuusual package for you to deliver tomorrow morning."

"Oh, boy. Here we go again," Bender said, rolling his eyes. "Unusual my ass. I bet it's just some toilet seat or something."

"Don't listen to him, Professor," Leela butted in. "What is it?"

"It's an ancient robot that they dug up just outside of Tokyo!"

"WOAH WAIT?" Bender suddenly yelled. "A robot? It's a robot? Oohh yeah. Is it a dude or a chick?"

"Now, now, Bender," the professor said. "Cool your battery. As I said, it is an ancient robot. I don't believe it is in working order. Either way, I haven't actually seen the thing. It was shipped to me as a mid-point. Its next destination is DurtenSkroll, the planet of German archeologists."

"Blaaaaaaaah. We should at least get to see it first," Bender complained.

"Yeah, Bender's right!" Fry chimed in. "When's the next chance we'll get to see an ancient robot?"

"Fry, no…" Leela said quietly.

"No why? Come on, Leela. Don't be a buzz kill," said Fry. Leela palmed her face in disappointment. "Let's see the robot, Professor!" Fry cheered.

"Yeah! It could be like, my ancestor!" Bender yelled.

"Well," Professor Farnsworth said, thinking. "I suppose it couldn't hurt to just take a quick look at it. Then perhaps we can better describe it to the researchers at DurtenSkroll."

"WOO-HOO!" Bender and Fry yelled, high-fiving each other. "Let's see the robot!" Bender cheered. They all followed the professor down to the loading bay. There was a big crate marked ROBOT.

"Is this it?" Fry asked. Bender smacked him. "DUH!" He said.

"If we just…lift…here…" said the professor. He toggled a crowbar into the boards and struggled to pull them apart. Leela offered assistance, and she quickly got one side of the crate open. It was filled with packing peanuts.

"Peanuts?" Bender yelled. "PEANUTS? The robot is a bunch of PEANUTS?"

"Did somebody say peanuts?" Zoidberg called out, crawling from somewhere. He sniffed across the floor until he found a packing peanut. Sucking it into his mouth, he chewed and chewed. "This is no peanut I ever heard of, but what the hey! A peanut is a peanut, am I right?"

"Those aren't the robot, everyone," Professor Farnsworth clarified. He stepped in to the crate and pulled out what looked like a human.

"Woah!" Bender called out.

"Cool!" Fry exclaimed.

"Looks advanced. How old did you say it is?" Leela asked. The professor laid the robot onto the floor and gave it a once over.

"Ah, yes," he said. "I know exactly what it is. I should I say, she!"

Bender ran up to the robot and stared at her. "Oh my Jesus lord pickle," he said. "She is the most beautiful, sexy robot I have ever seen."

She looked like a girl. Though old and beat up from time, her face was still fair and pretty. She had long, blonde hair and two strange ears. She was wearing a brown dress.

"This is a Persocom," Professor Farnsworth said. "They were popular in the early 2000s. Scientists learned how to put Smart Phone technology into a humanaid android. Quite popular, if I say so myself."

"Early 2000s?" Fry asked. "So they were probably developing this while I was around?"

"Yes indeed," the professor said. "Unfortunately, almost all of them were destroyed during the Japanese Technology Rebellion of 2053. This is quite astounding to find one, and in such great condition!"

"Yeah how do you turn her on?" Bender said, followed by an obnoxious chuckle.

"Don't touch her, Bender!" Leela shouted. "Don't even do anything! I doubt she works anyway. This is a piece of history!"

"Okay, okay, fine. Sheesh." Bender complained.

"Let's just put her back in the box and take her to her new home," Leela said.

"Excellent idea," Farnsworth agreed. They sat the persocom up and put her away. They nailed the crate shut, and Bender sulked away. "Not fair," he said to himself. "The most beautiful robot is just inches away from me, and I can't even touch her."

"Now, the researchers want to get the robot early in the morning," Farnsworth told his crew. "So I want you all to get a good night's rest and be back here at dawn."

"Sure thing, Professor!" Fry yelled.

"Sure thing, Professor," Bender imitated to himself.

"Let's go, Bender."

"Naaah, I got uhh…couple things I gotta catch up on! You know, booze and babes and stuff."

"Oh. Uh. Alright. I'll see you later, dude." Fry waved and left the building.

Bender crept along the floor and hid underneath a cabinet. "Now I just wait here until everyone is gone…" he whispered to himself. "Dooo, doo doo doo."

Once the coast was clear, he slid back out onto the floor and slowly stood up. Being as quiet as possible, he tiptoed down to the loading bay once more. He stood in front of the box marked ROBOT.

"Oohh yeah," Bender said to himself softly. "Come to papa." He extended his arms and pulled off the front board of the crate. Some of the packing peanuts fell out. He stepped across them and sat down beside the persocom. Her face was like a porcelain doll. "Hey, sexy ladaay," Bender said to her. But she didn't move. Her eyes were shut. Her body was inanimate. Where was the on switch? She must have one. Bender groped around her body. Wow! It was really soft. She even felt like a human. He put his hands between her legs, naturally, when suddenly…

Her eyes shot open! The computer immediately booted it and began to move. Bender jumped. Two big bronze eyes stared at him. They focused. She raised her hands, put them on his face then FLIPPED OUT.

"Hideki! Hideki!" The persocom called out in distress. "Hideki! Hideki!"

"Shhh! SHHH!" Bender yelled. "SHHH!"

"HIDEKI! HIDEKI!" She was loud. She was really loud. She easily got to her feet and ran out of the box. "HIDEKI! HIDEKI!" She shouted. The sound filled the entire warehouse.

"BEEENNNDDEEERRR!" A different voice yelled.

"Uh oh." The robot said to himself. He hid inside the crate, but it was pretty obvious where he was. Leela shook the whole thing and yelled, "What did you do, Bender?"

"UH. NOTHING!"

"Why is the persocom on? Why is she running around?"

"Hideki? Hideki?" The female robot ran up to Leela and looked her over. She put her hands up on the mutant, but soon realized that she wasn't who she was looking for. "Hideki! Hideki!"

"Bender! What did you do?"

"I just turned her on! GOD! SORRY!" Bender huffed and puffed. Leela dragged him out of the crate.

"She's freaking out," Leela said. "How do we calm her down?"

Professor Farnsworth came into the room. He watched the robot as she ran away. "Amazing!" He yelled. "She's fully operational!"

"Professor," Leela said sternly. "Bender turned her on. He snuck into her crate and…"

"It's incredible!" Farnsworth went on. "How could such an inferior robot last for so long?"

"Professor…?"

"Come here, robot!" The professor called out to the persocom. She was still running around in a panic. "Hideki! Hideki!" She yelled.

"Hideki is here, robot!" The professor lied.

"Hideki?" She stopped moving and turned to face Farnsworth. "Hideki is…here?"

"Yes, yes. Now come here, robot."

"Chiiiii…" she cooed and ran to the professor. "Where is…Hideki…?"

"What is your name, robot?"

"Chii is Chii."

"Chii? Is that your name?"

"Chiiii…"

"My name's Bender," Bender interrupted. He popped out in front of Chii.

"Ben…der? This is Bender." Chii pointed at the metallic robot. "Bender is…a trashcan."

"WHAT! Hey! What the hell?" Bender yelled. "I ain't no trashcan, sister! I'm a robot and you're a robot!"

"Ro…bot?" Chii asked.

"Chii," Professor Farnsworth interrupted. "Are you a persocom?"

"Chii…is a Chobit."

"What's that?" Leela asked. "Professor, what's a Chobit?"

"I haven't the faintest idea! Chii, what is a Chobit?"

"A Chobit…is Chii! Chii is a Chobit. Hideki said Chii is a Chobit."

"Who is Hideki?" Farnsworth asked.

"Who? Hideki is here…"

"I'm sorry, Chii. Hideki isn't here. I don't think Hideki is alive."

"Hideki…Hideki?" Chii suddenly became frantic again.

"No, no!" The professor said. "Stop! Chii, you must stop."

"Chii stops…"

"Where did you last see Hideki?"

"Hideki…Hideki was…Chii does not remember."

"Who is Hideki? Is Hideki a Chobit?" Farnsworth asked.

"No. Hideki is not a Chobit. Hideki is Chii's owner."

"Ooohh," The professor hummed. Leela made a sad face. "Awww, she's looking for her owner. How sweet. Poor Chii."

"Chiiii…" the persocom sighed.

"It's okay, Chii," Leela coaxed. She put her arms around the robot, who hugged her weakly in return. "You've been sleeping for a long time."

"Chii was…"

"Hmm?" Leela asked.

"Where was Chii?"

"I don't know," Leela said. "But you're here now."

"Hey, come on!" Bender interrupted. He tapped his foot. "I think seeing as I'm the only other robot here, I should take care of Chii."

"Bender, Chii is going to DurtenSkrool tomorrow. Nobody's taking care of her," Leela said sternly.

"Chii misses," said the persocom. She looked very sad. "Chii is lonely."

"Well, you'll have a new home tomorrow," Leela said.

"Hmmmm!" Farnsworth exclaimed. "I think this discovery will change the outcome of her future!"

"What do you mean?" Leela asked.

"I believe the archeologists were unaware of the robot's ability to function. I'll go tell them. It could possibly change where they want her to go." Farnsworth left the room, mumbling to himself. Chii looked at Bender.

"Bender is…" she said quietly.

"I'm not a trashcan," he grumbled.

"Bender is a robot."

"Yeah! I am! All robot, all the time, baby!"

"Chii…"

"What's wrong, Chii?" Leela asked. Chii looked up at her.

"Chii is sad," she said. "Chii is lonely. Chii wants to see Hideki."

"I'm sorry, Chii," Leela said. "But we'll find you a new owner."

"New owner?" Chii asked. She suddenly looked very upset.

"Ummmm, well, we'll find you a new friend!"

"Chii!" The robot smiled and bounced up and down. Bender ran up in front of her. "One your own kind!" He said. "How about a Bender? Huh? Wouldn't you like to be friends with a Bender?"

"Bender!" Chii yelled. "Chii would like a friend with Bender."
