-CHAPTER III: My only friend, Maria-
I looked into the young girl's eyes. I could tell she was a kind soul. I felt it was OK to open up to her. "Yes, I am Shadow. But how did you know that?"
Maria laughed and released me from the warmth that was her hug. "I saw you when you were still inside your capsule when grandpa was bringing you to life."
I would assume most bio-engineered life forms would hate the world for being created by science. But I, however, do not hate this world. From what I have saw of Mobius, it seems like a beautiful planet. Unlike a few of some we have orbited by. I could have cried about it. They were littered in ruins and showed results with battle scars. Dr. Kintobar tells me when research up here is complete I will be able to make a living happen on Mobius. I put all these thoughts behind my head and looked back over at Maria. "So is Dr. Kintobar your grandfather?"
She looked at me and giggled and answered me with a nod, signaling yes. I looked at the clock on the wall. "I must be going, I have to perform some tests to show my body is working right."
Maria stood up from her kneeled position. "I'll come with you! Grandpa won't mind at all!"
I accepted her invitation and we made our way into Dr. Kintobar's lab. Dr. Kintobar was in there. He was eating a cheeseburger and was being a pig. I raised one of my eyebrows and looked at him. "And you told me to avoid eating in the lab. Gee you're such a pig."
Dr. Kintobar looked like he almost choked when he heard me. Was it something I said? He put down his cheeseburger and looked at me. "You are developing well Shadow. Actually…I am glad to see you are learning good judgment. I bet you learned that from my granddaughter there."
Maria giggled again and put her hand on my shoulder. "Well like you say grandpa, I am born to lead!"
He looked at me and Maria and laughed. "Yes, I guess so. Shadow, your body Is growing quite well. And everyone seems to like you here.
I looked at him and opened my mouth. I wanted to say 'Thank you' but it wouldn't come out. The reason for this was I wasn't sure of what to think. But then again, this man was weird. But he's a kind man. He looked at me and picked up a clipboard. "Are you ready for your tests?"

Author's Notes: I am really starting to enjoy writing this. Oh yeah, in case I am doing something wrong, if you want put it in a review of something that should be an improvement. In any case, that's all I have to add for now.
