Knock, Knock, Knock… Knock

Four times…. She heard the door knock four times. She checked through the window, and saw Brad waiting, she didn't bother to look at his clothes as she would get a first hand view of them later, for then, she would focus on not getting caught by her mother. She put her headphones on full, and crept to the door.

She slowly opened her door, and closed it after her. She tiptoed down the stairs, knowing that her rocket boots would attract too much attention, and slowly walked to the door, missing the creaky floorboards, and finally, got to the door.

"Where do you think you are going?!"

She froze, and after a few seconds, turned around to see her mother sitting on the couch, with her arms crossed, with a look of disapproval on her face. By the book open at the side of the table, it looks like she has been here awhile. 'I don't think I should tell her where I'm going, she probably wouldn't agree with it'

"Oh… Hey mom, how's it going? Whats up?" she smiled sweetly, hoping that her mother would catch on to her plans.

" .Now" Nora commanded

"Alright" Jenny slumped, defeated

"And get Brad in here as well"

"How did you.." Jenny started

"I heard you on the phone to him at 11. Get him in"

Jenny walked to the front door, and opened it. In front of her, was Brad, in a navy blue T-shirt, jeans, blue trainers, and a soft leather overcoat. He held out a bunch of red roses to her.

"Good morning Jen Jen" He chirped 'He does have a nickname for me' she thought happily ' and it's only half as original' she added. Jenny took the roses gracefully from him, her face flustered. "Wait, how did you manage to get the flowers in just 45 minutes? Was it from the local store?"

"Nope, Went and picked them out myself, cause bought flowers doesn't show much consideration,and you are special" Jenny's Cheeks were pure blue at this point.

"Thank you" She smiled, pulling him in for a hug, then retracted, "Your outfit looks fantastic!"

Brad did a once-over of her outfit, and concluded. "Together, we match! You look fabulous in that dress, it looks like as if it was made for you!" effused Brad. He then extended his arm out to her, "Should we be going"

Jenny Giggled, then sighed "I would to love to, but someone would like a talk with us," she pointed her thumb towards her mother. Brad leaned next to her ear and whispered " I thought you would of not told her"

" I didn't, but my mother could find out anything that I would do even if I was in Europe" she whispered back

"XJ9 what's keeping you?" Nora shouted from the living room

"We better go and face the consequences. We'll sit together at least." She suggested, in which Brad nodded to.

They both walked in, one after the other,Jenny had her head down in shame. They both walked over to the loveseat that was next to the armchair that Nora occupied. They both cuddled together afraid of what she might say.

Nora cleared her throat, which made the duo nervous of what she was about to say

"First of all Brad, I'm happy that you are with my daughter. Since you love her and it is obvious that she loves you too. I'm glad that my daughter has finally found a boyfriend who can keep her out of her room more often, and that it is finally someone that I can agree on. So stop looking at me like I'm going to murder you."

Brad and Jenny looked at each other in the eyes, before releasing their grip but only a little bit, they enjoyed each other's comfort. Brad proceeded to kiss Jenny on the cheek before both of them looking back at Nora, Jenny's cheeks a bit blue.

"So before I let you two go on your date, I need to tell you two things, one is about Jenny's biology." Nora stated

"Please mom don't do this. I can't bear this" Jenny buried her head in Brad's shoulder, while Brad continued with his arms around her back, stroking it with his fingers.

"Since she was not conceived" Nora continued, ignoring her daughter's signs for her to stop" and made instead, you work differently to other female's. You still can get pregnant..."

"Wait, pregnant?" Jenny looked up from Brad's shoulder to her mother in concern.

"Yes you can, BUT it cannot be from Brad, and instead another robot built similar to you XJ9."

"So I cannot start a family with Brad?" She complained, while Brad was turning red

"The benefits to it though is that you don't need to use condoms whenever you are..Doing it" she gestured with her fingers. Jenny went back to hiding in Brad's shoulder, to escape the embarrassment.

"Please mom, no more" to which Nora still continued anyway.

"But apart from that, she is built to be like any other teenager, including having the emotions while having sex" she put lightly. Jenny looked up a bit to her mother

"Mom can we just go now. I don't think this was our way of starting our date" she pleaded, just wanting to get out of the situation.

Nora paused for a minute, closing her eyes. Jenny saw her chance to leave, lightly tugged Brad on the arm, she looked at him and pointed at her mother. Brad blinked twice before realising what she wanted to do.

"Not yet dear, there is still one thing I have to say" Nora told them, not bothering to open her eyes.

Jenny slumped back down on the seat and waited for whatever was about to happen next. "How did you know?"

"I raised a teenager XJ9, I know what a teenager does. Now for the second thing" she continued, " Since Brad is now your boyfriend, have a few more rules" Nora ignored Jenny's complaining about her privacy " So whenever Brad comes round, I don't want to see anything you do together. You will also be back when I say so, and whenever he is around, No locking the door in your bedroom. Whatever you do is not going to be here. Got that?"

Jenny and Brad both look at each other, both blushing madly. Jenny looked over to her mum, and managed to get out "Yes mother we got that"

Nora looked at her book again and simply told them, "I'm done now, go and have your date" and walked out of the room.

It was a full two minutes before Brad managed to speak, "Alright then, that was…."

"... Eventful" Jenny finished off. " I don't think I can look at my mother the same way now after that."

"Agreed" Brad added

"So, shall we go then?" Jenny remained positive thinking ahead of what they could do.

"Yes, I think we should" he agreed. And with that they both got off the loveseat, headed over to the front door, and left but not without Jenny shouting bye to her mom.

Instead of flying, like Jenny always did, they decided to walk and enjoy the scenery that they took for granted. This way, they would have more time to talk to each other.

"So.. how was your night?" Brad asked, genuinely interested. It seemed to her that all brad wanted to do was to be a boyfriend that any girl could want.

"It was..interesting, to say the least. I know it was about me.. And you, together" Jenny stalled, hoping that Brad wouldn't ask questions.

"What about?" Dammet.

"Uhh….. Hey, there's Mezmers, want to go in for a drink?" she tried to redirect the question desperately. Brad suspected that something was funny, and he was going to get it out of her.

"Sure Jen Jen" Brad agreed, making a small nod gesture as well. He would question her as soon as they got in.

They proceeded to walk to Mezmers, and with one courtesy effort from Brad opening the door for her, entered the building. Brad located a booth near the corner of the building, that wasn't occupied. Brad suggested to Jenny to go reserve the seat, while he got the drinks, to which Jenny agreed to. "I'll just have the Ca-ro oil, please" she whispered into Brad's ear, then kissed it for extra effect, which sent tingles to Brad's lower region. 'Not now' he thought, and went to order the drinks.

Jenny was lightly tapping the table with one hand, other keeping her head from not falling to the table in boredom, until she noticed that Brad was walking to her with a tray, on it was her can of Ca-Ro and a can of Futa-Cola, which she believed to be for Brad, 'duh who else would it be for?' she mentally added, conflicting herself.

"Jen?"

Jenny snapped out of her thoughts to find that the Ca-Ro had already been handed to her. "Thank you Brad" she began, "But I'm getting them next time" she vowed.

"Fair enough" Brad stated, "So, the dream you had with me and you, what was it about?"

'Fuck, he hadden't forgotten' she cursed to herself. "W-What do you m-mean.?" she stuttered

"You know what I mean, Jenny. Now tell me, and don't spare any details" He instructed

"Well…" Jenny maintained her look of confidence, while insides her brain was on full panic mode, "You s-see….. We … we were … having sex…" she wheezed, to which Brad was satisfied, but went to push further. "And what exactly were we doing?" he teased.

Jenny's brain went into overdrive as it failed to come up with a good reason to reply back with, so decided to hit the "Shutdown" button. Outside of her casing her eyes turned black before she went limp. Brad paused for a second."Jenny?" He asked, slowly getting more and more tense. When she didn't answer him back he immediately called Nora.

One ring…. Two rings…. Three rin… "Hello?"

"Mrs Wakeman you have to help me" Brad spluttered down the phone

"Why, what is it Brad?"

Brad looked over to Jenny and replied "She is not moving, and she went limp"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well we are at Mezmers, and we just talking about personal things, and she just went limp, her eyes turned off as well."

"Oh that, just look behind her head and there should be a power on button, is that it?"

"Yes thank you so much bye" Brad wheezed quickly before hanging up that phone. He reached over to the limp Jenny and turned her head over. Sure enough there was the button. He quickly reactivated her, and sat back down at the other side of the table. After thirty seconds he started tapping the table nervously, thinking that he had done something wrong. After two minutes the colour in her eyes reverted to blue and white"

"Ugh, what happened Bra…." She was cut off when she felt someone hugging her, she looked up to see Brad holding her with tears in his eyes.

"Brad? What's wrong?" Jenny questioned. She had never seen Brad in this state before, she only knew him as a cheery happy-go-lucky guy. She returned the hug as well,while Brad just cried into her shoulder, so all Jenny could do was rock him back and forth in the hug.

"I just…. I didn't….. I didn't mean to…." He wailed, before Jenny brought his face up to her's.

"Shhhh Brad, it's okay, you just didn't know"

"I thought I lost you" he whimpered.

"You can't get rid of me that easily" She joked, to which cheered Brad up a bit, but still decided to grab his can and snuggled into her for comfort.

"Do you ever get tired of it?" 'huh?'

Jenny turned to Brad, "Tired of what?" She questioned

"I don't know, tired of fighting crime on a day to day basis" he replied, wondering how she could go so long fighting crime every day.

"All the time"

He looked up, "huh?"

"Yes I got tired of fighting crime ages ago, you can only go so long saving humanity without feeling obliged to do it. I've been thinking for a few months to move to another planet, to start fresh with new people…"

"Your moving?!"

"I thought of moving, but in the end decided not to" She interrupted before he started questioning her.

"What stopped you?"

"You did"

Those two words she said stopped Brad's heart for a second and he realised something. She really did love him. Instead of giving a verbal answer, he just hugged her tightly.

"I really do love you Brad" Jenny spoke with a sincere voice.

"I love you too Jen Jen." he replied back, cheeks turning pink.

They exited the hug, and resumed back to finishing their drinks. After the drinks they were finished, Jenny offered to pay for the drinks, but Brad stopped her, and paid for them himself.

"There's two things I've wanted to know Jen"

"Name them" she bluntly replied.

"One, what does oil taste like for you?" he questioned.

"Well oil, just tastes nice to me, probably not for you, and the fact that I need it to function."

"Fair point" He concluded, "Second question: what does normal food taste like for you?"

"Normal food doesn't taste right for me, I should really ask my mother to install better taste drives in me. I would really like to know what normal food tastes like."

"Would be a good upgrade for you, instead of googly eyes." He referenced to one of her previous upgrades. Jenny shuddered at the memory. "Yeah that was not fun" she shivered.

They had been so focused on their conversation that they didn't realise that they were walking through the park.

"Huh, that's weird."

"What's weird?"

"Just how we got here"

"We walked?" She teased

Brad looked around the area and saw the fairground not far off, "Want to go to the funfair?"

"Sure, I'd love to!" Jenny Squeiled.

With that, Jenny and Brad linked hands, and started walking to the funfair

"Just a little bit more" Sheldon spoke out loud, hoping nobody could hear him. He was putting the finishing touch to 'Silver Shell'.

"If Jenny can be the loving hero that the city loves, then I must be the villain that she hates, maybe she would actually notice me this time, but when she does. It would be too late. Silver Shell is too much of a hero's name. For now, know me as 'Silver Spike.'

The Mech had been transformed into a war mech with twin miniguns on each arm, spikes all around it's body, eyes glowing red. "The ultimate war machine." He bluntly added, laughing maniacally.

Sheldon got into the mech through the back, and when inside the mech, flew out of the garage door, and into the sky's to find Jenny.

"You cannot run Jenny. Not forever."
