Angel walked in the lab with a bag slung over her shoulder. She walked up to the container and stood in front of it. She examined 628, wondering if she could trust him or not to be let out.
628 was asleep at first. Angel put her paw on the container and slid it down, trying to give him the message that he needed to wake up. 628 turned to her and yawned. A little smile went over Angel's face. She tapped her fingers lightly on the glass again.
"Can I trust you to come out?" She asked him, wondering if he really understood languages.
628 thought about it. The interesting thing that came to Angel was that he actually wondered if he would or not. And the more Angel looked at his expression, seeing that he really didn't want to lie to her.
"Ih." He looked up at her.
She smiled and slipped the container from around him. His eyes lit up with excitement, but she held him back again. He tried to get around, and run away. Suddenly he clenched her arm. Not in anger, trying to hurt her.
She was his friend, he realised. She was his friend because she trusted him to not run away. She was his friend because she was patient with him and give him the time he needed to calm down. But the thing that made him know she was really his friend was when she held him back, already keeping him safe.
He let go of her arm and did something he hadn't before. He smiled at her.
"Okay. Me be good." He said and nodded to her.
"Alright," Angel grinned at him and sighed. "Let's go into training."
He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme, I
know
He's as darned as he seems
"My name Angel. Can you say Angel?" She asked him.
"Angel." He repeated. She laughed, the tone in his voice when he said it seemed slightly goofy.
"You need a name..." Said Angel, thinking about it.
"Name, name." 628 said.
"How about...Drift?" She asked him. He stared at her for a moment, then nodded.
"My name Drift. Can you say Drift?" He asked her, mimicking her before.
"Drift." She said to him and giggled.
And more heaven than a heart could
hold
If I tried to save him
My whole world could cave in
It
just ain't right, it just ain't right
Next she took out a book and handed it to him.
"Can you read?" She asked, testing his intelligence.
"Ih." He turned to the book. "The...Ug-ly...Duckling." Read Drift allowed to her.
"So you can read." She nodded, staring at him.
Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's
after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
She took him to the table and reached in her bag. She took out a cookie, an apple, and a juice box and set it on the table.
"Can you eat properly?" She asked, giving him a pat on the shoulder. He sat in the chair and ate wildly. Food splattered everywhere. She put up her hand and he stopped.
She sat down in the chair with him and scoot him over. Then she picked up the cookie and took a bite and stroked her chin with a napkin. Angel handed him the napkin.
He put it on his head.
And if I could hold on
Through the
tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful
Or just a
beautiful disaster
"We might want to work on this." She said, giggling. He grinned at her and sneezed.
I'm
longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy,
hysterical
I'm waiting for some kind of a miracle
Waiting so
long
So long
She turned on some light music (the music is 'Beautiful Disaster'). She began to dance in circles, taking light steps. Then she stepped aside and let him dance.
He flew on the dance floor and spun in circles, not gracefully though. He jumped wildly around the floor. Angel walked over and grabbed his paws and they began to dance around the room.
Oh 'cause I don't
know
Don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a
beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and
the laughter
Would it be beautiful
Or just a beautiful
disaster
Once the training was over, she locked the windows and led him to the couch.
"We've had fun today." She said to him.
"Angel come play tomorrow?" Asked Drift. She gave him a nod.
He layed down on the couch and feel asleep. She giggled and walked out, locking the door tightly so he wouldn't get out.
