Emily let Vickie go back to bed at 1:00 in the morning.Emily still needed her,but she needed to get some sleep.She noticed she did'nt really get any sleep this week...
She went to sleep crying.When she finally got to sleep,she dreamt of Sonny all night.She dreamt of their first moments together.The eye-contact in the lab...the arms around her waist at the table...The time they watched Pirates of the Caribbean on that couch...Their first kiss!
Emily woke up really late.It was saturday,so she did'nt need to go to school for her teaching job.She did'nt want it anymore,though...Life was worthless to her now.Sonny was her life...And he's trapped inside her computer forever.
She woke up surprised to not find any hard,plastic arms around her waist,or any metal fingers swimming through her hair.It took her only a few seconds to realize why this was...
She got up slowly,never took off her nightie,and laid on the couch.thirty minutes later,She heard the door to her basement open.
"Em?" Vickie's voice rang down the stairs."I got you somethin'..." Vickie ran down the stairs and sat on the couch as Emily forced herself to sit up.
"I bought you this..." she handed her a newly wrapped cd.She saw a woman in a golden dress with her hair all over the place.It was the new cd by Mariah Carey,TheEmancipation of Mimi.
"I have a copy of it in my room,and it always helped me when I felt sad,so I got you a copy.Track two is a song you can relate to at the moment." Vickie smiled.
Vickie left after she hugged Emily.She was going to the beach with her family.She asked her if she wanted to go,but she said she did'nt think she could go anywhere ever again.
She got up toward the computer her true love was trapped inside...
White...Bright white was all Sonny could see.Where am I? he asked himself.He could only remember walking into the door.He could still see Emily through the door in his mind.The last thing he remembered was Emily's eyes...He saw tears forming in her eyes before his vision was gone and all he saw was bright white.It never went away.He still was lying in nothinness,surounded by only his thoughts.
He remembered Emily.Her sweet face.Her bright smile.Her long,golden hair.The brown eyes that always seemed to get lost in his.Her lips...They were so soft when pressed on his...No matter what,she always made him feel like a human being when she kissed him...He felt so dead when he thought of how he would never kiss her again.But he was grateful for the memories.
Outside of the computer,Emily was now putting her new Mariah Carey cd in the slot that I,robot was once put in.
Sonny saw something silver and huge float over his head.It looked like...The bottom of a cd!
He than realized he was inside Emily's music file.The silver wall above him began to spin and he felt music move through the strange place he was in...He did'nt hear it.He felt it.
Emily sat back on the old couch that was in front of Stephanie...Which she was thinking of calling Sonny's prison cell now.
"Track two!" Emily yelled at the computer as she laid down on the couch on her side,never again wanting to get up.
Sonny felt the gentle wind that reminded him of a piano as Emily heard the piano through her speakers.The piano turned into a bass note as Sonny felt the white room he was in bounce.He closed his eyes and became one with the music as Emily stared ahead as Mariah sang to her.
"I did'nt mean it when I said I did'nt love you so.
I shoulda held on tight
I never should have let you go."
Why did this have to happen?she thought as the bass of her new cd comforted her.Why did I have to lose the one thing that made me feel love stronger that ever?
"I did'nt know nothin'
I was stupid
I was foolish
I was lying to myself!"
Emily remembered when Vickie saw her and Sonny that one night at the table.She did'nt want to face the fact that she was in love with a robot.She did'nt remember how,but Vickie helped her realize it and that it was okay.Vickie has helped her so much through her life.She did'nt see it before.
"I could'nt have fathomed
I would ever be without your love.
Never imagined I'd be sitting here
Beside myself."
Emily could have never thought of her life without Sonny after the moment she first looked into his eyes.She really never imagined it ending like this.
"Guess I did'nt know you
Guess I did'nt know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt!"
Emily looked at the table where Sonny first touched Emily and she was never the same after that.
"The feeling that I'm feeling
Now that I don't hear your voice!"
Emily remembered the dream she had where Sonny wispered 'I never will' in her ear when she begged him to never let go of her again.She would never hear him wisper in her ear with his unique,soothing machinery voice.
"Or have your touch and kiss your lips
'cause I don't have a choice."
Emily then remembered his cold,metal hands touching her in the late night.And she also remembered his kissing.She will never forget her feelings when they had their first kiss in the living room.She never felt lips like his before.
"Oh what I would'nt give
To have you lying by my side
Right here
'Cause baby..."
Sonny was remembering these same memeries as he felt the music through his lonely,white room.
"When you left
I lost a part of me.
It's still so hard to beleive
Come back baby please 'cause
We belong together!"
Emily knew she had to get him back out here...but how could she do that!
"Who else am I gonna lean on
when the times get rough?
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up?"
Sonny always made her feel better just by talking to her and being around her.Now who would do this?Anna?
"Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh baby,baby
We belong together!"
Would Emily ever fall in love again?Would there posibly be anyone who could add up to her first love?
"I can't sleep at night
When you are on my mind!"
Emily had reams about Sonny all night.They seemed like nightmares to her,now.
"Bobby Womack's on the radio
Singing to me "If you think you're lonely now"
Wait a minute
This is too deep(Too deep)"
That's what Emily was thinking of this song as she began to feel like crying again.
"I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial tryin' to catch a break
And then I hear 'Baby face'!
Emily gripped her pillow hard as she felt it getting wet under her eyes.
"I only think of you
And it's breakin' my heart!"
Emily felt like she would never be happy again.
"I'm tryin' to keep it together,
But I'm falling apart!"
Took the words out of my mouth,Mariah!She thought to herself.
"I'm feeling all out of my element
Throwin' things,cryin',
Tryin' to figure out where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain't evan half of what I'm feelin' inside
I need you
Need you back in my life,baby!"
Emily felt so close to the music now she began to move her lips along with it.
"When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to beleive!
Come back baby please 'cause
We belong together!
Who else am I gonna lean on when the times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up?
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh baby,baby
We belong together!"
Emily stopped moving her lips when she saw robot parts that looked exacly like a real ns-5.She built that because she was bored a few monthes ago 'cause she loved the look of them.But she did'nt know what to do with it afterward so she just put it there.
She thought about the cd burner she installed shortly after that.She also remembered some long wires she had in her closet.Then she wondered why she was remembering these things all of the sudden.
Then an idea dawned upon her.She was no longer feeling the need to not go on anymore.She felt almost as happy as she did when her parents let her use the basement as her lab.
She ran over to the robot she made that looked just like Sonny and laid it on a table next to her computer.
"When you left I lost a part of me!
It's still so hard to beleive!
Come back baby please 'cause
We belong together!"
She ran to her closet and got out her tool box and the wires she remembered.
"Who else am I gonna lean on when the times get rough!
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up!
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better!
Oh baby,baby
We belong together!"
"We do belong together,Mariah!" Emily said to herself as she opened her tool box and straightened the ns-5 look-alike on the metal table."And we will be together if my plan pulls through!" she said as she opened the robots head the wayCalvin did in the movie and put wires inside...
