The sun rose. Day 2 of his time activated. The android had waited all night for another visitor. No one needed him. It was 6:00 AM now and he could hear mild stirring upstairs. He checked his pre-"okayed" orders he could execute. One of which was cooking breakfast. Unplugging from the wall he quickly made his way to the kitchen. As the sound of the house's first shower began, Lincoln had already acquired all necessary ingredients for pancakes, scrambled eggs, and sausage links.
Upstairs stood a line up of girls waiting for their turn in the bathroom. They grumbled greetings to one another as they got their bearings. The scent of breakfast wafted upstairs and their mouths began to drool. Those who did not urgently need to use the toilet stepped out of line much to the enjoyment of some. They peeked their head into the kitchen.
Several tentacles whipped around the room prepping the different dishes. While still unsettled by their appearance, it was still astonishing. The android noticed them.
"Mistress Luna, Lucy, Lana. Good Morning. I'm currently preparing breakfast but would you like something to drink?" The android asked without turning towards them. He flipped a pancake.
"Uh...some OJ would be nice." the raspy voice of Luna was the first to speak. A tentacle with a glass of orange juice extended towards her. She took it and took a sip.
"Milk for me!" Lana told him. Similarly, a tentacle weaved through the room with a cup for her.
They looked at Lucy waiting for her to also ask for something just to see what happened. She pulled an empty glass from behind her back.
"Lincoln…"
"Yes, mistress Lucy?"
"Could I get another glass of water, please?" She offered her own cup. The other girls were confused by her request but none the less waited for something interesting to happen. For the first time the robot turned towards them. He glanced at her glass. A tentacle gently took it from her hands and went to the sink. What happened next shocked the three of them.
As the glass filled the android made his way to it with his more humanoid looking body. He took it into hand for a sec. Lucy looked on in shock as he then began drinking it. All of them gasped from the sudden odd action. Lincoln's hand then hovered above the glass before excreting into it filtered and ice cool. The android began walking towards the young, goth girl. Her own fingers were touching her lips for some odd reason. He handed her the water.
"Your heart rate is up again. Did I do something to frighten you?"
"Uhh… no... thank you, Lincoln." She took a sip of the water. Her lips touched exactly where his lips once were.
"Whoa!" Lana started, "What was that all about!?"
"I was filtering mistress Lucy's water." Lincoln answered the young tomboy. "It's now cleaner and cooler than just coming from the sink."
"It doesn't seem cleaner." Lana stated, "Could you filter my milk!?"
"I wouldn't recommend it. I could take any remaining pulp from mistress Luna's orange juice though." Lincoln looked towards Luna.
"Nah!" she stated quickly, "No, back wash for me." She began backing up from the doorway.
Lucy held her cup close and proceeded to leave. Lana decided to run about in the jungle gym of Lincoln's cooking mayhem. More people began to wake up and come downstairs following the smell of breakfast. They began to be served as Lincoln made his way around getting drink orders. Lucy was the only one to get water after Lana told everyone the weird thing Lincoln did.
"You have nothing to worry about siblings," Lisa told her family. "While normally it would be unhygienic, you forget that lincoln is an android. He does not carry the same germs that would be on a human's lips."
"Huh?" Leni was honestly confused.
"It means, that he can't give you 'cooties' through an indirect kiss." Lisa oversimplified.
"Well duh!" Leni started absent mindlessly waving a piece of pancake on the end of her fork. "Only girls have cooties. We could kiss him all we wanted and we'd be fine."
Several girls around the table began choking on either their food or drinks.
"Leni!" Lori coughed a bit, "Are you telling your sisters to kiss a boy all they want?!"
"No." still oblivious of the situation "I was going to kiss him too."
More choking.
"What he's totes cute!"
"Leni"
"Oh, Lori!"
"What?"
"Let's take little Lincy to the mall today."
Lori looked at her sister in confusion.
"Why do you want to do that?" She asked.
"He'd totes be a lady killer if he had some better clothes." Leni stated only for Lisa to argue with her.
"His current suit is made of nano fibers that separate without tearing when I check his different panels."
"Come on Lisa!" Leni begged, "He totes looks cute and he'd totes look even cuter if he had a nice shirt on."
"I think he'd be a better butler is he had some sort of suit." Lola added.
"A tailcoat." Everyone looked at Lucy. "He would look good in a tailcoat…"
"That's a bit old fashion but anything would be better than his tracksuit thingy." Leni thought out loud.
"I doubt we would find something like that at the mall, Leni." Lori countered.
"Then I'll just make him one! I could do a range of things for him." Leni was now into her fashion fantasies.
Lucy's subtle smile went unnoticed by her family. Lola's mischievous grin not so much, her dream of a butler were about to come to fruitishion. Lincoln, who was in kitchen cleaning, left to collect everyone's dishes. Lots of thanks were directed to the robot who did his duty without much difference. The parents were happy to be relaxing so early in the morning and seeing their girls happily accepting the strange inclusion made them even happier. Leni gushed to him about their plan to take him to the mall. He accepted her offer and said he'd prepare for the trip after his diagnostics test with his Creator.
Time passed, Lori and Leni were getting ready for their trip to the mall. Everything was squared away, their parents had given them some money to get Lincoln some normal clothes: polos, jeans, ect. All they needed was Lincoln. They began searching for him but after several minutes past, they had not found him. They entered Lisa's room.
"Uhh, Lisa?" Lori called to the scientist who was writing notes about recent events of this morning.
"What do you need oldest sibling?" Lisa asked not bothering to look up from her writing.
"Have you seen Lincoln? We literally can't find him." Lori told the child genius. She perked up, looked back to them and then scooted over to her computer. She began opening an unknown program before typing shortly. She brought her face close the screen.
"From my tracking device on him…" She looked at the screen again, "He should be in the car already."
Unsure Lori and Leni looked to one another before heading to Vanzilla. Lisa followed them carrying an electronic tablet opened to the same tracking program. Vanzilla was out on the driveway already but as they approached it there was no trace of Lincoln. They looked towards Lisa.
"My tracker says he's in there."
"Lincoln?" Lori asked the air.
"Yes, mistress Lori?"
The two eldest jumped and screamed. They looked around but still didn't see the boy. Lisa began circling the car until she stopped behind the van. She pulled the trunk open. Facing outwards laying on his side was Lincoln staring indifferently outwards. Silence permeated the air. The girls looked at him with disbelief.
"Lincoln, what are you doing?" Lori finally asked after a good ten seconds.
"I've prepared myself for the trip to the mall." Lincoln answered.
"But why in the trunk?" Lori inquired.
"The seats are for humans and I am not." Lincoln stated.
"A reasonable conclusion." Lisa stated before slamming the trunk shut.
"What! No it's not!" Lori opened up the the trunk again and glared at the android. "Get into a seat like a normal kid"
"As I said I am no-"
"I'm not letting a kid ride in the trunk to the mall." Lori grabbed his ear. While it did not cause pain he did allow her to put him in a seat just a row behind the driver. Leni was already in the passenger seat waving at the boy. He waved back and they began to make their way to the mall. During the drive Lori would glance back in the rear view mirror. She didn't notice till he was in the third row but Lincoln was slowly making his way back row by row. By the end of the trip he was back in the trunk. Lori gave him an earful once out of the car.
