Well I'm back for the 2nd chapter. I'll try to be more descriptive in this one, but I'm not sure if I can get all that descriptive...but I'll try. Oh, and about Plum and Sumomou (I think that's how you spell it) they're the same persocom. In the show her name was changed, but in the graphic novel, her name in Plum.
Disclaimer: I don't own it, so you can't sue me!
Chapter 2-The Name Game
Hideki woke up with a pounding headache, he was getting a massive hang over from last night. Thing was, he couldn't quite remember what he did.
"God! My head!" Hideki said rubbing it, even though he knew that wasn't going to help.
"Is Hideki ok?" Chi asked staring right into his face.
"Whoa! Chi, could you please back away a little bit for a second?" Hideki said still clinging to his head.
"Hideki...does not want Chi around him?" Chi asked with a depressed look on her face.
"Hm? No, of course not! I just had a few too many drinks last night and I'm having a massive hang over."
"A hang over? Like this?" Chi stood up and bent down.
"Ah, no not like that!" Hideki said waving his arms in the air. "A hang over is when your head hurts really bad, and you feel nauseous after having a lot of alcohol."
"Nauseous?" Chi asked.
"Where you feel like you're gonna throw up." Hideki explained.
"Throw up? Chi does not understand."
"Ah...well...throwing up is like..." Hideki started not wanting to go into detail, or he might make himself sicker.
"Morning! Time for morning exercises!" Plum yelled pulling out her whistle.
"Oh god Plum! Not now!" Hideki yelled.
Plum started to blow her whistle and do the basic aerobic exercises. Hideki covered his head and moaned a bit, his migraine was starting to feel worse. He lifted his head up and noticed that there was another persocom sitting behind Plum.
"What's that?" Hideki asked.
"My old master brought that in when he dragged you in here last night," Plum said.
"Huh?" Suddenly Hideki remembered that he had won the lottery yesterday. "My money!" Hideki searched through his pockets, but couldn't find it. "Oh no! I must have blown it on that persocom!" Hideki thought he was going to cry. All that money that he could have used to pay off his bills, gone!
"Who is that?" Chi asked Hideki.
"I don't know!" He got up and walked over to the new persocom and decided to turn her on. "Ok, so where's the on switch?" Hideki looked around until he found it on the back of her head, it was covered by her short hair.
Hideki pushed the switch, and immediately the persocom opened its eyes and faced Hideki.
"Konichiwa! What's your name?" She asked.
For those of you who read up to book 4 in the series, this should sound familiar"Huh? My name?" Hideki stared at the new persocom that smiled so brightly at him. "I'm Hideki."
"Hideki," the persocom repeated. "What's your password?"
"My password?" Hideki thought for a second. "Chobits," he finally said. Sure he had given that password to Plum, but he didn't want to think on the password too hard, thinking was hurting his head. "What should I name you?"
"It's time for Hideki to go to school!" Plum yelled.
Hideki checked his watch and gasped, "I'm gonna be late!" He grabbed his book bag and headed towards the door wearing the same clothes he wore last night. "Don't forget to go to work Chi!" He yelled as he closed the door behind him.
"Chi needs to go to work now," Chi said walking towards the door.
She looked back at Plum who was waving enthusiastically at her and the new persocom who just stared blankly at her. Chi walked out the door closing it behind her.
Hideki walked out of the school completely zoning out. He didn't understand anything Miss Shimizu had said. He decided to get some help from Shimbo later. Hideki had thought a lot about that new persocom he bought, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he saw it somewhere before. He shook his head and thought about something else. Today he would be able to pick up Chi on the way home. Hideki walked up to the doors of Chiroru Bakery and opened up the doors making the bell above the door ring.
"Hello Hideki!" Manager Ueda said, "are you here to pick up Chi?"
"Yes," Hideki said.
The employees only door cracked open a little bit, then Chi burst out of it and ran over to Hideki. "Hideki! Hideki!" Chi called. Chi threw her arms around Hideki when she reached him. "Hideki came to walk Chi home from work!"
"Yeah," Hideki said.
"Oh Hideki," Manager Ueda said, "did you hear that somebody won the lottery from around this area?"
"Oh, yeah. That was me."
"Really?! Wow you're so lucky! What do you plan to do with the money?"
"Well, I already spent it all...on accident."
"What did you buy?"
"A persocom, and a lot of drinks."
"A new persocom? What does it look like?"
"She has short hair, she's a red head, her ears stick out, and they're white, and her eyes are amber."
Ok, this persocom I just described is from the Chobits series, but I have no idea what color any of her is, I've only read the graphic novels, so the colors of her hair and eyes might be off. Sorry!
"Wow, she sounds cute, you should bring her by here sometime," Manager Ueda said smiling.
"Ok, I'll try. I just can't shake the feeling though that I've seen her before."
"Don't think too hard on it! Have a nice day!"
"Thanks!"
Hideki and Chi walked out of the bakery and headed for home.
"Is something wrong Hideki?" Chi asked noticing Hideki looking very serious.
"Huh? No, not at all! I'm just thinking about what to name the new persocom."
Chi didn't say anything after that, she just stared at Hideki. Hideki finally thought of a name when they reached the door to his apartment. Hideki opened the door, and was jumped on by Plum.
"Welcome home! Welcome home!" Plum kept chanting that until Hideki finally pulled her off of him.
Hideki got up and walked over to the new persocom that sat in the middle of the room staring blankly out the window. He put his hand on her shoulder, and she turned around to face him.
"I've finally thought of a name for you," Hideki said.
The persocom just stared at him, waiting for him to finish.
"It took me all day, but I finally decided to call you Yui."
"Yui," she repeated. She smiled and repeated her name again.
"Glad you like it," Hideki said.
Chi was still standing at the front door not saying a word, just staring at Hideki and Yui.
"Yui," Chi whispered to herself.
Ok! I tried my hardest to be a little more descriptive...not sure if I succeeded, but I tried! And please, please, please review!!!!
