Chapter
Two: Reality
The place was massive. Thousands of people were
milling around, waiting for the unveiling. Dustin searched high and
low for his friend, Jake Herom. Unable to find him, Dustin sighed. he
then reached into his pocket and produced his invention:
a small
flying winged robopet. it did not look robotic at all though. About a
foot tall, covered in pink fur and with little round oval-like feet
and hands. A round blue ball at the end of a long tail. Little
antennae sprouted from the head, with almost crystal-like drops of
glass hanging from them. He reached for his screwdriver and turned it
on. The crystals started glowing pink, and Huge oval blue eyes opened
above a minuscule nose and tiny mouth.
"Krrrrr" it
purred. It then walked around his hands, and fairy-like wings
sprouted from the back, and it took flight beside Dustin.
"C'mon
Kriri." said Dustin.
They walked around for a while, only
stopping one when the little being found small glass orbs. Dustin
pulled Kriri from them and continued.
"WELCOME TO THE
REVOLUTION INC. EXPO! WE WILL BE SHOWING YOU OUR NEW REVOLUTION-ary
DEVICE! I GIVE YOU...
THE IMMERSAPOD!"
He was met
by 20 million people yelling their heads off like they would win a
prize.
Dustin snorted. What idiots. And that guy needs work on his
puns.
The man, in a dark black suit with hair crisply combed,
whipped a sheet of what was the ImmersaPod. It was a dark black pod,
with a steel door and a shining surface.
"WHO WOULD LIKE TO
TRY IT, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!"
Everyone started screaming
again. Dustin stood there.
"Kriri, get down here. They aren't
gonna choose a robot-"
"YOUNG MAN WITH THE FURRY THING,
HOW ABOUT YOU?" The man bellowed.
Dustin blinked. Then he
started walking towards the stand, avoiding Kriri's eyes.
He was
also fighting the people trying to portray him.
Finally, he and
Kriri were at the stage.
"Kriri, calm down. You're gonna blow
a circuit." said Dustin to the shaking robot.
"OK, I'm
here. Should I power her down," he said, referring to Kriri,"
or would the machine not do anything to her?"
The man gasped,
and stuttering, asked if she was a robot.
"Yes" was the
reply.
"No, she'll be fine."
He opened the
ImmersaPod's door, and Dustin stepped in.
