Yahoo! I finally got around to updating this! It took me long enough! Well, I don't have anything interesting to talk about...so I guess I'll just go to the disclaimer...I feel boring.

Chapter 3- Surfaced MemoriesChi got ready for work, putting on an outfit that she felt like wearing. Hideki was in the kitchen trying brush his teeth and his hair at the same time, but it wasn't working very well. Yui was playing with Plum, watching her dance around. Yui was wearing some new clothes that Hideki had bought when he was drunk. She woar a pretty light blue dress that went to her knees with puffy sleaves, and a small bow in the front.
"Chi," Hideki said after spitting out the toothpaste in his mouth.
Chi looked over at Hideki.
"Today, could you bring Yui with you to work?" Hideki asked.
Chi nodded, "Is Yui getting a job at the bakery too?"
"Well, Manager Ueda asked to see her so I thought that now would be a good time to bring her over. And who knows, he could use another helping hand there."
"Chi will take Yui with her to work," Chi said.
"Great, thanks Chi," Hideki said putting on his jacket.
Chi looked over at Yui, and Yui looked at Chi. Hideki picked up his bookbag and signaled Chi to hurry up. She got up off the ground, and Yui got up as well.
"Let's get going," Hideki said opening up the door.
Chi and Yui followed Hideki out the door. They walked down the stairs of the apartment and stepped outside. Ms Hibiya was sweeping up the sidewalk again.
"Hello Hideki," She said turning around.
"Hi Ms Hibiya," Hideki said walking towards her.
"Hello Chi...who's this?" Ms Hibiya looked over at Yui.
"Oh, that's Yui," Hideki said.
"Well, hello Yui," Ms Hibiya said smiling sweetly.
"Hello," Yui said bowing a little.
"Oh, she's so nice. When did you get her?" Ms Hibiya asked.
"I got her a couple days ago."
"How nice. Have a nice day you all," Ms. Hibiya said starting to sweep again.
Hideki, Chi, and Yui started to walk off again. The walk was unusually quiet as the three of them walked together. Finally they reached Chiroru Bakery. Hideki opened up the door, and the bell above it rang sweetly signaling their arrival. Chi was standing beside Hideki, and since the doorway wasn't big enough for all three of them, Yui stood behind Hideki.
"Good morning Hideki," Manager Ueda said walking over to him.
"Hi, I walked Chi over here for work," Hideki said as Chi walked to the back to put on her uniform.
"So how are you today?" Manager Ueda asked.
"I'm doing fine. Oh, I brought over the new persocom I bought the other day."
"Oh really? Where is she?"
"Right behind me," Hideki said stepping to the side so that Yui was revealed.
Manager Ueda's smile slowly faded as he looked at the persocom. Hideki stared at Manager Ueda, he looked so sad, and surprised at the same time.
"Where did you get this persocom?" Manager Ueda asked.
"To be honest, I don't remember. I was drunk when I bought her."
Manager Ueda never moved his eyes from Yui.
"She...looks just like...Yumi," Manager Ueda said.
"Yumi?"
"You remember when I told you about my wife, my persocom wife?"
"Aha! I thought she looked familiar!" Hideki yelled triumphantly. "I can't believe that I didn't notice her before. Yumi showed me the videotape of your wedding."
"She did?"
"Yeah. I also saw the videotape of when she got hit by the car...whoops! I probably shouldn't have brought that up!" Hideki said noticing Manager Ueda's saddening expression.
"It's ok. I'm just surprised."
"Man, I probably shouldn't have brought her over then. And a job is definantly out of the question, but that's ok!"
"You wanted to get her a job?"
"Yeah, I was thinking about getting her a job, but since she looks like your wife-"
"No, that's ok. Of course I can get her a job, I could always use another helping hand."
"Great! I've got to go now!" Hideki said looking at his watch, "oh crap! I'm late!"
Hideki bolted out of the door and down the street.
"So Yui," Manager Ueda said turning to her, "Today you watch Chi and see what she does. You can start work tomorrow, by then I should have a new uniform for you."
"Ok," Yui said finding a chair to sit in.
"Yui, will work here with Chi?" Chi whispered to herself as she opened up the employees only door.
Alright, that's it, please review! Tell me you love it, hate it, were board by it, TELL ME!
