*Chapter 2: The Odyssey Starts: From Flesh Fair to Cybertronics*

"If I am a real boy, then I can go back. And she will love me then"

Yes. Maybe I would go back with you, not as a robot, but as a real live boy. And, being a real boy, you would love me more.

Teddy and I were walking when we found a group of robots, mechas like me. And they were really damaged, looking for parts in the dead mechas' bodies. And you know what? I felt frightened.

"Moon on the rise!"

"What is it?"

"It's a Flesh Fair. They destroy us on stage. I've been there"

What?! Flesh Fair? I remember you told me earlier to stay away from those things, but… I didn't know what were they all about. We had to run, and we hid in an old house. But they caught us, and Teddy fell off the net where we were all trapped…I tried to go and get him back, but I couldn't…I had lost you, and now…I lost Teddy, too! But the Nanny who was with me tried to keep me calmed. When she sang to me, I don't know why, but she reminded me of you, Mommy.

-------------------------------------------

When we arrived to the Fair, we were in a big cage, or something like that. I still didn't know what a Flesh Fair was, so I talked with some mechas who were with me.

"Why is this happening?"

"History repeats itself. It's the rite of blood and electricity"

"So, when the opportunities avail themselves, they pick away at us, cutting away our numbers so they can maintain numerical superiority!"

So…they killed us?? But they created us, why would they want to destroy what they created? I couldn't understand that… Well, a girl came where I was locked, and she had Teddy in her arms. She called her dad, and he looked at me. Then he turned on a blue light, and it passed through my body. The man said I was a machine…even when I told him I was a boy.

He called another man (his boss, I guess), and they talked for a while.

I saw outside the cage, and I saw the Nanny who took care of me while I was in the woods, she was a mecha like me, and she was in the center of the stage. I looked at her, and she smiled. I smiled too, until I saw a liquid covering her body, and she melted… it was horrible…

"Eh, this work is first rate. A lot of love went into him. David! You are one of a kind, you know that? Who made you?"

"My mommy made me"

"Her womb was your factory, eh? One of those built to aspire to the human condition. What is the name of your maker? Serve U.S., E.Z. Living, Robbyville? Simulate-City, Santern, Cybertronics, Sidekicks--"

"Monica is my mommy"

I told them the truth. You're my mommy, aren't you? But they didn't seem to believe me, especially the older man. Why? Couldn't they believe that you're my mommy?. Well, that man told a couple of another men to take me out of the cage. When I saw them, I knew where I was going to go, and I felt scared, very scared. I took the hand of another mecha who was with me.

We arrived to the stage, and the old man started talking about me. He said such horrible things, I felt so bad… suddenly, a drop of that strange liquid fell on my partner's hand, and it burned. And I knew what were they going to do with me…

"Don't burn me! Don't burn me! I'm not Pinocchio! Don't make me die! I'm David, I'm David, I'm David!"

No. I'm not Pinocchio. I don't have to be burned. I don't want to be burned, because I wouldn't see you again…

After a little arguing, a man threw a fruit to the host. The crowd began throwing things, and we were set free. The other mecha (whose name was Joe), Teddy and me escaped from the Flesh Fair in one piece. But I still wondered… why did humans destroy what they created?

-------------------------------------------

We kept walking, and I was talking to Joe. We saw the moon, but I didn't know if it was real or if it was moving, so I decided not to take any risk and we took another way.

"Martin is Mommy and Henry's REAL son. After I find the Blue Fairy, then I can go home. Mommy will love a real boy. The Blue Fairy will make me into one"

"Is Blue Fairy mecha, orga, man, or woman?"

"Woman"

"Woman? I know women! They sometimes ask for me by name. I know all about women. About as much as there is to know. No two are ever alike, and after they've met me, no two are ever the same! And I know where most of them can be found"

"Where?"

That's how we ended going to Rouge City.

-------------------------------------------

"Everybody say 'Ah!'"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

We were passing a tunnel which seemed like an open mouth, and it was really funny because Joe an the boys began shouting…

-------------------------------------------

"Are you her?"

"That's Our Lady of the Immaculate Heart. The ones who created us are always looking for the ones that created them. They go in, look around their feet, sing songs, and when they come out, it's usually me they find"

When we arrived to Rouge City, Joe showed me all the places he knew, especially where we could find women. But one special place caught my eye. There was this white lady, with a blue light around her, and I talked to her, but she didn't answer… I couldn't understand anything until Joe explained me that it was a church…

-------------------------------------------

Then we went to see Dr. Know, maybe he could help me to find the Blue Fairy… but when I asked him where she was, he told me two strange answers, until Joe looked on "Fairy Tales". And I found what I was looking for…

"Pinocchio, by Carlo Collodi. At the signal, there was a rustling as flapping of wings, and a large falcon flew to the windowsill. What are your orders, beautiful fairy, he asked..."

"That's her"

"...for you must know that the child with blue hair was no other than the good hearted fairy who had lived in that wood for more than a thousand years..."

And she appeared! But when I tried to touch her, she disappeared! Why?!

"It was an example of her. But I think we're getting closer"

Joe was right. When we combined 'Flat Fact'  with 'Fairy Tale', I asked if the Blue Fairy could make me a real boy. Suddenly, the lights went out, and a poem was all I found…

"Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a fairy, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping
then you can understand.

Your quest will be perilous
Yet the reward is beyond price.
In his book
'How Can A Robot Become Human',
Professor Allen Hobby writes
of the power which
will transform Mecha into Orga"

What?! Dr. Hobby could transform a mecha into a human being?! So if I found him, he would make me a real boy… and I would be back with you… I asked Dr. know where could I find him, and he told me that we had to go to the city at the end of the world… a place where a lot of mechas had gone, but none of them had come back… Man-hattan…

-------------------------------------------

"My Mommy doesn't hate me! Because I'm special… and… unique! Because there's never been anyone like me before! Mommy loves Martin because he is real and when I am real, Mommy's going to sing to me, and tuck me in my bed, and read to me, and listen to what I say, and she will cuddle with me, and tell me everyday a hundred times a day that she loves me!"

"She loves what you do for her, as my customers love what it is I do for them. But she does not love you David, she can never love you. You are neither flesh, nor blood…and the reason you are alone now, is because they grew tired of you, or replaced you with a younger model, or grew displeased with you, because of something you said, or broke"

Well… I remembered that I broke myself once, and I hurt Martin, and I almost hurt you, but…somehow, I felt you didn't hate me. You couldn't hate me! But…why did you leave me?! Did you get tired of me?! Why? If it was because I wasn't real, that wouldn't be for too long because I would find the Blue Fairy and be a human, so I would be with you…I would be your little child, and you would tell me a lot of times that you love me as much as I love you…because I love you so much, Mommy… is that too much that I'm asking for?

I left Joe, and I found a helicopter, or something like that. I entered into it, and turned it on. When it started, I saw Joe next to me. I opened the door, he entered, and we flew away, escaping from the cops… going to a destiny we didn't know anything about…

-------------------------------------------

When I arrived, I looked for Dr. Hobby. I saw a door, and it has printed the same poem Dr. Know showed me. I knew it was Dr. Hobby's place, and I entered. And you won't believe what I found…

"Is this the place they make you real?"

"This is the place they make you read"

"Are you real?"

"I guess"

"Are you me?"

"I'm David"

I found another boy, identical to me. I was very shocked, because he said he was me! How come?! I'm the only one, there's been nobody like me before! So… who was this boy? Was he taking my place with you?!

"You can't have her"

"I can't hear you"

"She's mine. And I'm the ONLY one"

Yes. I'm the only one for you…right, Mommy? I wouldn't let him have you… so I destroyed him…I destroyed the other David. Then Dr. Hobby came in, and he told me that I was the real David. I felt happy for that. But where was the Blue Fairy? I didn't see her there…

"I first heard of your Blue Fairy from Monica. What did you believe the Blue Fairy could do for you?"

"She would make me a real boy"

"But you are a real boy. At least as real as I've ever made one… which by all reasonable accounts would make me your Blue Fairy"

No! That couldn't be! Dr. Know told me that she would be here, at the end of the world… but Dr. Hobby told me that it was all that Dr. Know needed to know so I would be back with him. So it was all a trick…a fool?! I was so confused…

"My son was one of a kind. You are the first of a kind…David?"

"My brain is falling out"

"Would you like to come meet your real mothers and fathers? The team is anxious to talk to you. I want you to wait here and I'll gather them up…"

I felt horribly confused. And I didn't want to meet any people. So I left the office, and went to another one. I saw a lot of boys who looked like me. And I saw these boxes with my name on them… I also saw another boxes, with the name 'Darlene'… so I was the first of a new kind of mecha? One box started moving, and I shivered… then I saw the window. And there was this strange bird, something like a peacock, like the bird I drew when Martin asked me what was the first thing I did remember… and I knew I was built here… I couldn't take it anymore…

-------------------------------------------

I was in the outside balcony, sitting beside that peacock. And I thought of you, Mommy. I thought about how much I missed you, and I would do anything to go back to you, and never be apart of you, never again…

"Mommy…"

So I jumped into the water. And in the blue water, I saw a lot of fishes, a bridge, and… yes! She was there! Blue Fairy was there, I found her! But when I was going to reach her, something caught me, taking me back to the surface…

"I saw it Joe, I saw it! The place where she lives! She's right down there, Joe!"

"She is?"

"She's waiting for me, we have to go!"

"Uh-oh...when you become a real boy, remember me to the ladies when you grow up!"

Something attracted Joe to the heaven… the police had caught him. He activated the copter to submerge, and when he left, I just said "Goodbye, Joe"…
