Chapter 3 - Recovery Pt 1
So you actually thought I'd end my life insane? You underestimate me. So you seriously thought I'd end up insane for the rest of my life? Well I didn't, and because of that I am here to tell you my recovery.
After Vixie brought me to her planet, I started to regain my memory. I soon knew the daily routine.
Get up, Eat breakfast, Comb hair, Get dressed, Talk, Go down to the beach, Eat lunch at beach, Go to Ed's, Eat supper there, Go home, Watch TV, Go to bed.
For 4 months that was my life. We did the same thing everyday for six months. But even though we did the same thing I enjoyed every minute of it. The walks on the beach, the picnics in the shade, talking to Ed or Vixie about anything on my mind, I loved it.
The thing I loved most about it was Vixie. She was so patient with me.every time I would break down (I did this regularly at first, until after a few months I stopped) she'd sit me down on the couch, next to juniper (a huge blue tiger, which I will explain later on in the chapter) and braid my hair, and listen to all I had to cry about (these subject usually consisted of Cell, Roti, and/or the pain I put up with) and then whisper words of wisdom that usually helped me get over what I was upset about. She was the one who put a roof over my head, fed me, and most of all loved me.the thing I needed most.
Everything about her was angelic.her midnight black hair, her emerald green eyes, and beautiful bronze skin. Her personality was priceless. Caring, smart, and fearless. Everything I'd ever wanted to be, she was. She had that can-never-be-broken spirit that I learned to love, and look up to. She to had her bad side. (Like all living things) .When she was upset, she'd always either curl up into a mental ball or attack (sometimes mentally sometimes physically), which sometimes dug her into a deeper hole than she was before. But I respected her, and most of all.. looked up to her.
After 4 months I started to actually live again. I would laugh and have fun and although I sometimes felt sad I would no longer break down and cry, instead I would busy myself with something I found important.
After 5 years Vixie asked me a question that would change my life forever. She asked me.
"Serenity, I know you no longer love your body, to insure your health, me and Ed think you should switch bodies to an older, more adult form. Of course the choice is yours.. we will not force you to change, we wouldn't dream of it. But if you would like we could fly to earth and get you a scientist to make you a body."
I accepted immediately. Vixie was just starting her new business (The Android Safety House.TASH for short) and I knew I would bring her down if I stayed any longer than necessary. She had already built the Lodge (a huge mansion made right beside the beach.equipped with over 100 rooms, a pool, two living rooms, three kitchens, and a laboratory and school room) and 12 androids were already staying there. Sometimes I would stay and work with Vixie and Ed.
Ed. One of the most caring people I know. Ed was as patient and kind as an abused android could get. Like me, Vixie found him hurt and alone (but not insane) and decided to take him in. Because she herself hadn't yet had kids, she raised him (he had a body like me, small and weak) until he was 17 years old, after which she got a scientist to change his body form. Now a tall, brown haired, hazel eyed, muscular, 17 year old guy he had his own house and his girlfriend Pakita. Although he had his own home, Vixie was still like his mother and so we visited him almost everyday (he lived one street away from the beach) and he was the assistant manager at TASH.
Anyway back to TASH. I would work there with Vixie. Helping the small androids to bed (It's sick because some humans made baby androids to take the place after their dead children, after the android doesn't act like the child they try to kill it or abandon it), talking with the older ones (the oldest abused android was 15 and in a 13 year old body), and playing with the young (about 3 years younger than me) ones. I loved the atmosphere there. So much love, so much kindness. I had many friends there who I would talk to for hours and hours.we would talk about our bad experiences with humans, or who we had a crush on, or sometimes just plain gossip.
Now back to my decision.
I told them that I would love to go through with the change. I had always wanted to look like older women. I loved the curves and the structure. I now had the chance. The only downside would be I would have to go to earth to get the surgery done. After saying my good-byes to all my friends, fellow androids, and Pakita (I got Ed to come with us)We got into the fastest rocket ship on the planet and blasted off to Earth.
The ride was nauseating. Try going a plane times a hundred. Every lift-off was plain torture (like driving in a car you have to gas up at certain planets) but after Vixie gave me a drug I was fine.a little light headed, yes, but fine nonetheless.
When we finally got to earth I was nervous and excited. I wondered if anything had changed the 5 years I was gone. We landed and I jumped for joy, of finally feeling the earth under my feet again. Vixie just smiled and laughed and Ed turned quite pale. The last time he had seen this place had been 12 years before and he hadn't left here with happy thoughts.
