Summary: Minoru creates something new for Hideki, or, more for Chi. It makes a persocom have the three senses that they do not already have; feel, taste, and smell. The program also makes the persocom have normal human needs, such as eating and sleep. All and all, the program makes a persocom almost as close to a human as they can get, with-ought actually being born from a human. Takes place after the series ends. (after book 8, and episode 26, i think)
Almost Human
By MaroonGoddess
Part one
Sometime, late at night, near midnight, a phone rang somewhere in the middle of Tokyo, Japan.
"Uhhg...Yeah yeah, I'm coming..." Hideki Motosuwa groggily got up out if his bed, pushing his fiancé up and off him, carefully, and laying her soft, electronic body back down onto the mattress.
"Hello?" Hideki answered the old and faded phone, tiredly.
"Hideki, I've created something new." Minoru, the twelve year old genius tiredly said.
"Another program, I suspect? Why did you have to call so late, I mean, you could at least have called early in the morning instead."
"First off, midnight technically is the morning, so now is the perfect time, is it not? And second, I think that you will like this new system that I have conducted."
"Alright, what is it?" Hideki becoming more interested, and more tired, every second.
"The new system can do a number of things.
One, if you hook a persocom up to it, it will give them the three senses that they are missing, which would be taste, smell, and feel.
Two, though it would take a while to do the operation, it would make your persocom have normal human needs and such, as in hunger, having to go to the bathroom, boredom, tears, bleeding (only because then she would be able to heal any injuries), etc. They would even age, though not much. I'm still working on that one. So, in all, if you do this operation on your persocom, it will be as close to a human as possible, with ought having been born from a human." Minoru finished his conversation, leaving Hideki speechless.
"Y-you mean that you can actually do that? Would...would you be able to do that to Chi?" Minoru chuckled at Hideki's stunned-sounding voice.
"No, Hideki, I just wanted to wake you up, at midnight, and pull a prank on you," Minoru sarcasmed.
When Hideki didn't say anything, Minoru just continued on talking to him, "If you wanted, we could start the operation on Chi in a couple of days."
"Well, have you ever done this 'operation' on a persocom before?" Hideki wasn't going to put Chi in danger just because he would like her more human.
"Of course I have, i did it on Yuzuki, you didn't think I would put your beloved Chi in danger, did you?" Minoru joked at Hideki.
"I was just making sure. Oh well, it's kinda late now, can I go back to sleep now? Or is there more?" Hideki half whined.
"Oh, there's more Hideki. There's much more." Minoru mused as he heard the twenty-year old man groan and whine about sleep. "You do realize that I was joking, right?" "..." Hideki glared at the phone, "Good night, Minoru," Hideki said as he plopped the phone down on it's receiver and returned to his small room and plopped himself down onto his bed.
"Hideki? Chi would like to know who was on the phone." Hideki rolled his head over to the side to see a blonde, cute persocom staring down at him, head cocked to the side like a confused puppy.
"Just Minoru, Chi. Lay back down." Hideki answered.
"What did Minoru want?" Chi asked as she pulled the covers up and lay down beside Hideki. Hideki rolled his head back over to face the ceiling as he stroked Chi's soft, silkish hair.
"He said that he came up with a new program, Chi. It...it can make a persocom act, feel, and react like a human. He says that it's the closest possible way to make a persocom like a human. And, I was wondering, would you like to have the operation done on you? It's your decision." Hideki asked, hoping that she would accept it.
"Hmm...would it hurt?"
"I...I dunno, I'll have to ask Minoru." "Umm...I think...That would be great, Hideki, Chi would like to have the 'operation' done on her. But Hideki? What is an 'operation'?" the ever-curious Chi asked.
"Uhh...Operation...Plum? Would you please check 'operation' on your dictionary for me?"
"Yes, sir, master!" the little laptop persocom said as she searched her programs for the dictionary.
"Operation:

" the little, pink laptop finished, standing ready for another question.
Hideki looked stunned, and didn't know if that helped at all. He looked to Chi, "Uh, did that help at all, Chi?"
"Which one would be the 'operation' that I would get?" Chi asked. "Uhh...Plum, do you know which one would be the definition for if Chi got an operation?"
"Yes, sir, Mr. Master! Chi is looking for
Number 1: performance of a practical work or of something involving the practical application of principles or processes.
Or:
Number 4: a procedure carried out on a living body usually with instruments especially for the repair of damage or the restoration of health." the helpful little laptop answered.
"Do you understand now Chi?" Hideki asked.
The Chobit smiled and nodded.
"Good," Hideki said as he layed back down and put his arms around Chi, "Now let's go back...to...sle..." the tired man couldn't finish his sentence, for he had already fallen asleep.
'Maybe soon, I'll be able to actually go to sleep, instead of just shutting down for the night.'
the Chobit thought to herself as she closed her eyes.
