Coop and his friends gather at his house later that afternoon. The three sit on the couch, merrily playing a video game, while the robot vacuums the rug behind them. "Your robot's really handy, Coop." Fiona notes happily.
"Yeah." Coop replies blissfully. Beginning to feel a bit hungry, he muses, "I just wish we had some cookies." Upon hearing this, the robot quickly hovers over to the kids and shoots out a mechanical arm holding a fair sized plate of cookies. Elatedly, the kids each nab a cookie from the plate and begin eating. "Your wish is my command." the robot beeps.
After finishing their game, the kids then decide to go to the skate park. Once they've left Coop's room with their boards and skate gear, however, the robot quickly tags along after them. "Sorry, boy," Coop says. "I mean no offense, but I don't think they allow alien robots in the skate park." Unfortunately, the robot doesn't quite comprehend; it hovers up to Coop and nuzzles him in the face. "Hmm, it seems that it won't let you out of its sight." Dennis notes.
Coop's mind races. "I suppose it'll need a disguise."
Moments later, the kids traipse downstairs with the robot, now wearing a small blue parrot costume, perched on his head. As they make their way toward the door, they pass by Millie, who's having a tea party with her dolls and a very embarrassed-looking Mr. Kat, who's wearing a baby bonnet. As the disguised robot catches Millie's eye, she coos, "Ooh, Coop's got a parrot! Let's invite him to our tea party."
"Uhm, sorry, Millie," Coop replies. "But he'll need to stay with us, 'cause...'cause he uhm, really likes to ride skateboards! Yeah, that's it."
"Fine." Millie obliges, upon which she goes back about her business. Coop breathes a hearty sigh of relief, glad that his sister had bought his cover story.
At this moment, Burt enters the room. "Hey, son," he cheerily addresses Coop, while observing the small blue bird-like creature on his helmet. "Where'd you get a parrot?"
"He, uhm, followed me home?" the little boy replies nervously.
"Huh," Burt muses, observing the disguised robot a bit more closely. "Don't recognize the breed. Is he a talker?" Nothing daunted, the robot beeps, "I-wish-we-had-some-coo-kies."
"Don't we all, buddy?" Burt replies with a jovial smile. "Well, have fun at the skate park, kids. Please take care."
"'Bye, Dad! I love you! Please take care!" Coop calls, waving politely as he and his friends leave. Before reaching the door, Coop turns to Mr. Kat and gives him a nonchalant wink. The space cat smiles and winks twice in reply.
Later that night as Coop climbs into bed, the robot says softly, "Sleep well, friend." Coop smiles. "You too, little buddy." The little boy then settles into bed, upon which the robot gently tucks him in. "Ahh," he sighs. "Things will surely be looking up from here."
Once Coop has drifted off to sleep, the robot hovers over to his computer where it sticks out a plug, downloading vasty amounts of information. It then floats downstairs to the library, where it scans each and every bookshelf. Finally, it hovers into the living room and begins flipping through the TV channels.
As the sun rises the next morning, Coop yawns and slowly opens his eyes, upon which he immediately observes the robot hovering over him. "Good morning, Coop," the robot beeps. "I have spent the night learning everything, so that I may better serve you, and protect you from all harm." The little boy stares in perplexity as the robot shoots out an arm holding a toothbrush. "I will brush your teeth to avoid tooth decay and gingivitis." It then proceeds to brush Coop's teeth very vigorously; the little boy gives several muffled exclamations of protest.
Coop seats himself at the breakfast table moments later and begins eating a bowl of his favorite Captain Blaster-Os. Suddenly, the robot, clad in its parrot disguise, hovers up to him. "Sugar is low in nutrients and bad for your teeth." it beeps as it then proceeds to incinerate the bowl with a laser, causing Coop to reel back in shock. "Vegetable smoothies provide maximum health benefits." the robot notes as it then produces a juicer and pours a vegetable smoothie into a cup.
"That's a very clever bird, Sport." states Burt, who's reading the newspaper.
The robot then picks up the smoothie and hands it to Coop. The little boy cringes at the drink's unseemly appearance, "Ughh, no thank you." Nothing daunted, the robot pinches Coop's nose causing his mouth to open up, upon which it pours the drink in. Coop shudders at the rancid taste as he struggles to swallow the smoothie down. "Gah."
"That parrot's quite handy around the house." Burt notes happily.
"Yeah," Coop groans, still reeling from the foul taste of the beverage. He then picks up the disguised robot. "C'mon, boy. Dennis, Fiona, and I wil teach you some new tricks at the skate park."
