Disclaimer:

Hey everyone that reads this but doesn't review! I decided that this is part one of your early Christmas present. Part two comes out on Christmas! Not really sure what time, but probably really early! So, make sure not to read the next installment in this story till you wake up on Christmas morning! Also, I don't own Robotboy! Because, seriously, if I did, do you think I'd be wasting my time on fanfiction, fantasizing what I WANT to happen?

Finally A Real Boy

Chapter 2: Gender Mistaken & Anger Shaken

"Woah, a new kid?"

"S'been a while since we had one."

"I like her head gear! Total Pop chique!"

"I hear she's Japanese."

"She's kinda cute…"

Tommy mentally groaned as comments like this floated around the halls, his eyes trailing to Robotboy, who was looking around, a smile adorning his now human face, his new shoes tapping gently against the floor, adorning new clothes and a backpack.

"I still can't believe your mom let him stay." Lola commented, smiling.

Tommy shrugged.

"Well, she has a big heart…" he murmured, recalling what happened.

"Please let him stay mom! You let him in before!" Tommy exclaimed, holding onto Robotboy's hand, said robot turned half human smiling hopefully at Mrs. Turnbowl. She sighed.

"Tommy, she-erm, he's not a pet." She corrected herself, having just found out that the girl was a boy. Tommy bit his lip.

"But-but… He's homeless! His parents kicked him out!" he lied, and his mother's eyes widened.

"What?"

"Yeah. Mom, they wouldn't give him his clothes, or anything but the clothes on his back…" he said, giving her a sorrowful look, before glancing at Robotboy. "Right?"

Robotboy blinked, before he made an O with his mouth as he understood. He, copying Tommy, clutched his hands together and gave Deb a tearful look.

"Yes. Me have, no family." Which, technically was true, but Robotboy had come to accept that over time. Tommy's mother's eyes welled.

"Oh… you poor dear! Of course you can stay!" she then took Robotboy's hand and dragged him off. "Let's get you some new clothes!"

Through all of that, Gus had been stuffing his face hungrily. Now, Robotboy was wearing a Gir short sleeved hoodie, baggy jeans, and silver Nikes. And he was the center of attention. And thought of as a girl. Though he didn't seem to notice.

"Long time since been able to roam Tom-my's school!" he murmured excitedly to himself, though Tommy could hear him. "Can't wait till class!"

"Dude! You're not supposed to like class!" Gus exclaimed, looking appalled as they all stopped at their lockers. Robotboy blinked and stared at the heavy set boy.

"No?"

"No! You're supposed to miss recess and long for when break and lunch comes!" Gus explained as if it was obvious. Robotboy nodded, smiling confidently.

"Right! No like class!"

"Exactly!"

"Gus! Don't fill his head with your opinion!" Lola snapped, slamming her locker closed. She walked over to Robotboy and laid a hand on his shoulder.

"But that's what everyone thinks!" Gus whined. Lola rolled her eyes, before she smiled at Robotboy.

"Robotboy, you can think whatever you want about classes. There are kids that like some of their classes, none of their classes, or all of their classes. I'm in the last category." She explained. Robotboy looked confused, but a second later, he was smiling once more.

"Robotboy, like Lo-la's explanation much better." He said, making Lola smirk at a glaring Gus.

"Guys, we're gonna be late to class." Tommy said, walking in between the two glaring tweens. Lola huffed and let go of Robotboy's shoulder.

"You're right." She said, before walking away. "See you guys later!"

"Hey! Don't walk away from me! This isn't over!" Gus exclaimed, shaking a fist. Tommy rolled his eyes while Robotboy laughed.

"C'mon Gus." Tommy smirked while he pushed his friend lightly. "We gotta go."

"Fine…" grumbled Gus, looking angry still. As they continued to walk, Robotboy followed happily, walking in between the two boys, happy as can be.

When they got to class, Robotboy was about to follow Tommy, but he told him to stay outside.

"The teacher will call you in." he explained at Robotboy's confused look. "Now, let's review. What's your name?" he questioned.

"Fuyu Ryokonitte." Robotboy chirped.

"Where did you come from?"

"Tokyo Japan."

Tommy smiled. "Great. I'll see you in class." He said, and walked in. Once the bell rang, the teacher stood.

"Class, as I'm sure you all know, we have a new student today." Excited whispers broke around the students. "Now, her English is a little broken. And don't make fun of her name. You may come in now."

Tommy and Gus looked at each other out of the corners of their eyes, getting a little annoyed that everyone thought Robotboy was a girl.

Everyone grew silent at the sight of Robotboy, who walked in confidently, his midnight blue hair swishing against his neck slightly. Turning to face the class, he looked fearlessly and happily at the others, having seen all of them before when he and Gus had traded bodies.

'And what a mess that was…'

"Now, why don't you tell us your name and where you come from?" the teacher asked. Turning to face the class, Robotboy laid his arms against his sides and bowed, his bangs falling gently.

"Ohayou gozaimasu, mina-san." He then stood straight and smiled, his eyes closed. "Boku wa, Fuyu Ryokonitte desu. Uchiwa Japan Tokyo karakimashita"

Tommy felt a laugh building up inside him at the teacher's annoyed look and the student's confused but captivated expressions, but stuffed it down his throat.

"In ENGLISH." Robotboy blinked up at her, before he gave her a bashful look.

"Gomenasai." He then turned back to the class, and, bowed once more. "Good morning, everyone. I'm, Fuyu Ryokonitte. I'm from Tokyo, Japan" He re-introduced. The student's eyes widened as they admired the foreign new student letting 'oohs' and 'ahhs' fill the air, not to mention the excited whispers. The teacher laid a hand on Robotboy's head.

"Now, as I'm sure you all don't know, in Japan, first names are said last, and last names are said first. So, Ryo-ryo…"

"Ryokonitte." Robotboy put in, the class snickering at the teacher.

"Yes. Ryokonitte, is her first name, and Fuyu is her second. Choose an empty seat, Mr. Fuyu." She instructed. Robotboy nodded, and walked/skipped, much to Tommy's embarrassment, to the seat on the other side of Tommy, which was occupied, and picked the boy up easily.

"Exuse." He said, before he set him on the ground and sat next to Tommy, smiling happily. Silence filled the air a moment, before angry looks were sent to Tommy, though he didn't know why, and a few kids laughed at the moved boy's confused face. The teacher glared at Robotboy.

"I said an EMPTY seat." Robotboy blinked.

"But… seat empty after Ro, move boy." He said, and that made the class burst out laughing, the teacher's face aflame. Tommy and Gus laughed behind their hands, while Robotboy still looked confused. "What, funny?" he questioned Tommy, who wiped a tear away.

"I-I'll tell you later, Ro." He stuttered, watching as Robotboy's light blue eyes filmed over with confusion, but quickly switched to happiness.

"O-kay, Tom-my!"

"Fine! Choose whatever seat you want!" the teacher exclaimed, making the students cheer as they reseated themselves where they wanted to be seated. She smoothed back her hair and sighed. "Alright, now, down to business. If 3/5 + b=…"

Later as class continued, Robotboy glanced at Tommy and silently giggled at the sight of him, fast asleep. It had always been interesting to watch his friend sleep, especially as he got older. A few times, he had wriggled and made odd noises as he slept, which startled Robotboy and made him think something was attacking, but when eh realized Tommy was just having an odd dream, he simply watched him and giggled at the faces he made.

He wasn't doing that now. His face was neutral, his breathing even and calm, and his head cushioned under his arms. Robotboy glanced around to see most of the others were asleep, before he looked to the teacher, who was raving on about equations he already knew. Through the period, he had been keeping himself busy with thoughts on how everything might work now that he was part real boy. Would he still be able to transform? Could he still have TV hooked up to him? So many questions… But as he listened to the teacher, he found his lids growing heavy, and his head start to spin.

He quickly shook himself as the teacher assigned homework, and quickly stored the information for later. Glancing at the clock, Robotboy was please to see it was almost time to get out.

"Tom-my." He whispered, shaking the blonde lightly. "Up. Class close to over." Tommy mumbled something in his sleep, before he turned away from Robotboy, only to be awoken by the pinging bell, like all the other students.

"Agh!" he gasped, his hair sticking up as result of the scare. Gus was on the floor, chest rising up and down rapidly, his left eyes twitching. Robotboy gazed at them for a moment, before he laughed.

"You two, so scared!" he exclaimed, before he hopped from his desk and helped up Gus easily. "Lola, enjoy expressions much!"

"Shut up!" Gus exclaimed, his cheeks flushing for some reason as he dusted himself off. "I was SO not scared! I'm a fearless tiger!" he bragged, making Robotboy blink.

"… Not good to lie." He commented, making Gus grow a darker color and glare at him. Chuckling slightly, Tommy slipped from his seat.

"Well, I was startled." Tommy admitted, making Robotboy smile. "Let's go to break now."

'Break?' Robotboy asked himself, before voicing the question aloud.

"Break? What is?"

"It's when we get a break from class and can go to the cafeteria to eat or hang out."Tommy explained, shouldering his backpack, and smiling at Robotboy.

"Yeah! I hope they're serving cinnamon buns!" Gus exclaimed, his mouth practically watering. As the three exited class, Robotboy felt as though someone was watching him with a narrowed gaze.

'Ah, that silly' he thought, waving it off with some difficulty. 'Robotboy, look human. No enemies, now.'

Meanwhile, Pretty In Pink dabbed lips were formed into a scowl as blue eyes watched most of the boys stop to look at the new girl.

"Little hussie… She's like, totally going down."
