Hey Babe!
Chapter 10: Is Gary any better?
Next morning Leaf wakes up pretty late and is woken up by the smell of fried chicken.
Must be dad!
With this thought in her mind, Leaf gets out of her bed, and goes in her bathroom for the morning rituals.
Her father was always a better cook than her mother. And his favourite food was chicken, and he can cook chicken better than KFC! Gauranteed.
As she takes her time to get ready, she hears feeble voices of Gary in the background and her heart kinda skips a beat.
Why though?
Leaf shakes it off, and gets to work. Today, she has to go to one of the major robotics University of Kanto, to give the new students some hints on hiw to develop their own robot. So, not giving stupid emotions any more attention, she gets ready in the most official way possible, and gets out of her room.
She wore a dark grey blazer, over a pale green shirt, and underneath was a black pant.
"Morning Leafy!" greeted Mr. Green.
"Morning Dad!" Leaf greets back by hugging him, and kissing him on his cheek.
She notices that Gary is a bit in the clouds, and much to her relief, he doesn't even make eye contact with her.
Probably gained many manners within a short time, so he's trying to cope with all things.
Leaf eats her breakfast fast, and goes into their garage to take her car out. She unlocks the lock on the garage door, and then tries to push it up. It didn't. She tried harder, but it slid very less.
Leaf tries with both her hands now, and it slides very less even after that.
"If it will slide with this speed, then it will take me three months to open it!" Leaf whines.
Just then, a strong hand cones from behind, and thrusts the shutter up. Leaf turns her head around to find Gary. Her heart skips a beat. His perfect hair, his perfect arms, his perfect abs, and his perfect eyes. His whole perfect ass.
"Bonjour Madame! It looks like you're in trouble!" Gary greets with a french accent.
"Heh! Bonjour! Thanks?"
"You're welcome!" He bows down a 90 degree and walks back inside, walking like if he's marching.
"Maybe he read it too emotionally!"

At the University, Leaf was able to keep herself busy. She was interviewed by the students, and it was all hectic.
As she comes back home, she picks her sister from her college.
"I remember you told me that you liked Gary! Any updates on that?" Leaf brought the topic up.
"I'm glad you asked sis! I've kept it within me, and I feel like spilling it out. I am too guilty of that, I shouldn't have done that!" Lily apologizes.
"What are you apologizing for, it wasn't even your fault. Love just happens, it doesn't see the person or the reason!" Leaf said, aa her mind drifted to the memories of a certain spiky haired brunette.
Lily lifted her head from her pool of guilt, and looks up to find a faint blush on her sister's face. "Are you in love sis?"
"The fuck you saying!"
"I would advice you improve your language sister, it's not good for your loved one!"
"And who exactly is this loved one?"
"We have arrived!" Lily trailed off, got out of the car, ran around and stood next to Leaf's window, "Don't tell me you don't know. I know that you know! Now, come in!"
Leaf saw her devil of a younger sister walk near the garage door, and open it for her. She is frustrated.

Leaf stood on her window sill, as she observed the full moon. So perfect, yet imperfect. And that reminded her of Gary. But is she seriously in love with her machine? Is that even possible?
Leaf's eyebrows furrow as she leans more out of her window to look at the moon, more closely. Pleasant cool breeze hits her face, and ruffles her hair gently. She closes her eyes to let in the beauty of it all.
Leaf hears some moving gears, so she opens her eyes to find Gary, climbing their house's wall, and slant walking his way to her window on the second floor. He stops just when he is in front of her.
Gary turns his head a 360 degree round to look back, and Leaf tilts her head as his absurd antics.
He turns his face around with a beautiful red rose in his mouth. His clothes change into a black tuxedo, and he pushes one of his hand back, and one out to Leaf, which held the red rose in it, and stood straight (slanting) on the wall, lovingly staring at Leaf.
"Is something wrong Gary? Are you..
Leaf is cut by Gary placing his right index on her lips.
"Don't. Don't say that I'm gone mad, 'cause i have! I'm mad in your love, and I know you feel the same! I, under this moon, take you as my girlfriend, please take my proposal. I've been thinking of it from a long while, but recently got the guts. So do you..!?" Gary stares so intently at her, that she almost wanted to nod.
But NO. This is not how it is supposed to go.
Leaf shuts Gary down, by pushing a sensor on his right hand which was still stretched out to her, and pulled him inside. This is not how the world's first most advanced robot is supposed to behave like.
She totally dismantles him, and rewires him again. It took her the entire night. Gary sure had feelings, and these things are common at this age, but he should know how to control them.
This is not the robot she wasted three-four years of her life on. This is not the robot she sacrificed her sleep, her food, her time for. This is not the robot who will help saving the world. This is not the robot Leaf wanted.
This is not her robot.
This is Leaf Green's robot.
She angrily soldered his joints in her lab. Angrily rewired his systems. Angrily rebooted his processors. Angrily updated his software.
This anger is because she is escaping a love proposal? Maybe?
This thought came in her mind.
It was about five years back that her hopes on humanity shrank.
It was about five years back that her trust on men shrank.
It was about five years back...
