The sun shined in through the window like a blinding light. It made its way over to the kid sleeping in the bed & woke him up. The kid was wearing blue pajamas. He had black curly hair & blue eyes. He rubbed his eyes to get the excess sunlight out of them & looked over at his desk. To his delight, there was a P.E.T. there, just beckoning to him. He smiled at this.

"Wow." He said. "My own P.E.T.." He got out of bet & walked over to the P.E.T.. He flipped the cover off to reveal the second cover with the control panel on it. He deactivated sleep mode & woke up Shade.

"Huh? Wha?" Shade asked as he woke up. It felt kina abrupt to him. He was sleeping just a few seconds ago, & was wakened in an instant. He was then staring his net op in the face. A face Shade didn't like at all. To him, that smile meant the kid was happy to have a virtual servant, somebody to do things for him. Shade didn't want that kind of life.

"Hi, I'm Kenny." The kid said. "What's your name?"

"I'm Shade Silverwing." Shade said. "& I'm not about to become your virtual slave!" Kenny was taken aback by this. He was just trying to be Shade's friend, but Shade wasn't giving him a chance to.

"Your what?" Kenny asked. "What do you mean?"

"You heard me, Kenny!" Shade said, spitting out Kenny's name. "I was just decaying down in Nocturna's realm when YOUR father came & stole me! Then he mulched up my body into this, & expected me to work for his son! I REFUSE to be your electronic servant!"

"But I don't want you to be my slave, Shade." Kenny said.

"Then your father should've left me back in Nocturna's realm." Shade remarked.

"That wasn't my father's intention, either." Kenny said. Shade just crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"& why should I believe that?" Shade asked.

"Because my dad's a nice person." Kenny said.

"Nice to you maybe." Shade said. "But I know you humans are all alike."

"What's that mean, Shade?" Kenny asked.

"Don't kid me, kid." Shade spat. "I saw what your kind did to all those bats. First you kill hundreds of bats, then you expect me to be your slave?" Kenny was shocked by Shade's words.

"Kill hundreds of bats?" He asked.

"That's right." He said. "Your kind killed hundreds of bats, severely wounded others, & left them stranded somewhere far away to die. If it wasn't for me & my colony, they would've been killed."

"That's horrible!" Kenny said.

"I'm surprised you feel that way." Shade said. "But it doesn't change the fact that I won't work for you."

"I don't want you to, Shade." Kenny said. "I just wanna be your friend."

"Prove it." Shade said.

"Okay." Kenny said. "Spend 1 day with me, & you'll see how nice a guy I am."

"Hmph." Shade said. "Alright. But no tricks, you got that?"

"Got it." Kenny said. "I'll just get dressed." He said, then went into his closet. After a while, he came out wearing a black leather jacket over a white shirt, & blue short with white shoes on his feet. He then walked up to Shade & unplugged him from the recharger. He then put him in his pocket & walked out the door.
