A/N: First of all, thank you to those who took the time to comment. Those comments encouraged me to post. Some of the reviews made me realize maybe I wasn't clear enough about the length of this story. There are other 3 short chapters written for this story, making a total of 4. I'm still not sure if I should add more E-MA on top of that. I'll let you be the judges of that.
Someone asked for adorableness?
"E-MA was created in a ship by humans. You see the earth was really dirty, so dirty and full of trash that people couldn't live there anymore. So they created E-MA to clean the earth, to save the world. She was suppose to save them all"
"How?"
"Well I guess that to explain that I will have to tell you a little more about how E-MA looked like. She was a robot that wasn't very big for robot standards, maybe tall like you. What she was was strong, she could compact a big amount of trash into a very small cube" She showed this by opening both her arms as wide as her arms would go and then closing them into the shape of a really small cube. Lucy opened her eyes real big, seemingly impressed by this information. Some could argue that she was taking too many creating licenses, but if that made her little girl happy then so be it.
"E-MA's propose was to make so many cubes that in 28 years they believed she would end with all the trash across the earth and in this way they would then be able to return and live on it once again. Knowing this, they left her there to complete her mission."
"And then what happened?"
"Well, the first couple of years E-MA just made cubes. But then she started to get bored of always doing the same thing. So she started to collect things."
"Like what?"
"Anything that would catch her eye really. Bubble wrappers, light bulbs, kitchen utensils. If she found an interesting object she would take it back to her home. She had her favorites of course, she had found an old human jacket and adapted it so she could wear it herself" Emma at first thought this comment a clever idea.
"Was she cold?" But then she realized Lucy seemed suddenly sad about the prospect of E-MA suffering. She couldn't allow that.
"No sweetie, robots don't get cold. But you see, when she was created E-MA was painted a shiny yellow and after a couple of years of working outside she was getting dirty, that's why she decided she needed a jacket."
"Oh" This apparently sounded like a very logic explanation to her four year old, that was suddenly calm again.
"She also found some old tapes"
"Tapes? What are tapes?" She kept forgetting how young her daughter was and how some references didn't apply to her.
"CDs?" Her daughter was still looking at her oddly.
"She found music. Every piece of music she could find, every new song she stored it"
"Cool"
"Some of the music E-MA had found was in videos coming from different movies. And E-MA would spend a lot of her time seeing these movies and dreaming she could dance like others did in those."
"Like in "Beauty and the Beast"?" Asked Lucy full of hope.
"Yes, exactly she used to watch "Beauty and the Beast" and wish she could dance like they did"
"And then what happened?"
"Then more years went by. E-MA kept making cubes and watching "Beauty and the Beast", but she was starting to feel lonely. She wished she had someone to dance with."
"Poor E-MA"
"Yes, humans have forgotten all about her. They were busy looking other ways to save the planet. Because trash wasn't the planet's only problem, the other problem was that the humans had killed all the plants"
"Noooooooo" The little one grabbed the quilt that surrounded her with all the strength her little hands allowed her. It was interesting for the blonde to see how involved the little brunette was getting in the story, how intensely she lived every new development.
"Yes, so now the humans were trying to find any plant that might have survived to use it to make many more new plants grow. So you know what they did?"
"No" Answered the little girl curious.
"They built another robot which propose was to find plants. It was a Rare Ecolife Graphic Identification and Authentication system. But you know how they called it?"
The girl denied with her head.
"They called it REGINA"
"Mommy!"
"Yes, Mommy"
