Vickie and Shanah were walking to Emily's basement in swimsuits with their hair in ponytails.Vickie wore a full purple one,while Shanah had on a yellow two-peice bikini.
"Now Shanah..." Vickie had her hand on the knob."I told you what happened.She just lost something near and dear to her.She's been depressed all day.So be prepared...She may not evan want to talk to us because of her depression..."
Suddenly Emily opened the door and ran out to give Vickie a big hug.She had her hair up in a ponytail,too.She had on her labcoat outfit.It was a white version of the one Dr.Calvin had on when she showed Del the tour of USR in the movie I,robot.Her face was really bright and she came out with a big smile on her face.
"Vickie!" Emily screamed."I just discovered a salution to my problem!It's one of the best things that ever happened to me!" she said as she ran back down to her ns-5 look-alike on her table,which had wires inside it's head linked to a black cd.She put the black cd inside the slot she put her new Mariah Carey cd in a while ago.The wires linked to it went inside along with the cd.There were now wires linking from the inside of the cd slot to the robot on the table a few yards away.The pink screen had the green eyes on the upper area of it.A large zero was under the eyes that ran across the screen.
"Select files to be copied to device,please!" the computer said in it's female voice.
"Em...What's going on?" Vickie ran down to where Emily was.She turned to Vickie and explained her plan as simply as she could.
"This.." she pointed to the cd slot,where the black see-through disk was in."Is'nt a cd-R.It's a black disk I've created that is connected to these wires..." she ran her finger along the long,skiny black wires connected to the ns-5's head."Which is linked..." she put her finger on the robots head,where the wires were in."To this ns-5 that I made."
She went back to the computer and pointed at the screen."This computer is going to burn a file onto that cd..." she pointed to the slot with wires inside."Which is going to be harnessed through these wires..." she ran her finger along the wires again."And put into this ns-5!" she put her hand on the lifeless robot on the table.
"What file is it going to be?" Vickie looked at the screen.
"One entitled..." Emily went to the keyboard under the screen"Solid-Hologram!" she said to the computer screen.
Sonny felt the white room he was in move.It was moved on top of a big,black ground.
"File 'Solid hologram' converted." said the computer.
"Stephanie:Copy file to device!" she said firmly to the screen.
The floor to the white room Sonny was in seemed to slit under his feet,causing him to land two feet below him onto a flat,shiny,black see-through ground.The ground below him began to rotate clockwise really fast.But instead of his feet moving with it,it looked like his metal feet began to glow on the black ground.He felt himself move slowly downward,a inch a minute.
The wires began to shake slightly as a faint roaring sound came from the computer.Vickie's eyes went from the wires to the robot on the table,then back again.She did this two more times and her eyes widened."I get it now!" Vickie started jumping."Em,you're a genius!"
"I know!" Emily screamed as they both took eachother's hands and started jumping and spinning.Shanah looked hard at the computer for some reason.
"Well,I gotta go get dressed!" Shanah smiled.She went up the stairs and out quickly.Emily and Vickie stopped what they were doing.
"I still don't like her." Emily looked up the stairs and then back at Vickie."Something about her just scares me!"
One hour had passed.She sat next to the lifeless robot on the metal table.She did'nt eat anything yet.She was'nt going to do one single thing until the love of her life was alive again and he held her once again.
Sonny was at waist level through the black ground now.He was moving down into the spinning black circle so slowly.A glowing ring of light was aroung the area he was sinking into.What is this thing doing to me? he thought to himself.He felt his legs were on one of Emily's metal tables.He could'nt move them,though.
90 percentwas the number on the screen that was in place of the zero that was there an hour ago.Vickie went home to have dinner with her family.Emily's mom was about to come into the basement when Vikie went past her and told her Emily was'nt hungry yet.Vickie knew she could'nt be seen while she was uploading her own future husband!
Emily looked at the face of her robot.It looked just like a real ns-5.She added blue eyes to it when she finished building it.She was so glad she did.
She looked hard at every feature of the robots face.He looked so peaceful.She hoped that her plan would work.She was sure it would.
She put her hands on the hard,plastic shell that was his chest.It reminded her of the night they were together.She would have never guessed that her future self would see them together in a few hours when that happened.
Suddenly the door to the basement opened.She loooked up and saw Shanah again.She was in jeans with a pink half-top.Her hair was down and she had her hands behind her back.She never removed them from behind her back for some reason.
"I was hoping you would eccept my deepest apoligies..." She walked down the stairs and up to Emily,hands still behind her back."About the first day we met." she smiled like no one Emily'd ever seen before.She still seemed a bit of a fake to her,though.There was just something about her she did'nt like..."
"Sure!" Emily said.Sonny would be back again.And since she seemed scared of him,she figured he would cause her to run out again.Until then she would just let her stay.
"Can you close the door?I'd feel more secure in here if it was closed." she smiled.She had such an sweet face.
Emily walked up the stairs and closed the door.She locked it,too."Happy now?" she said as she walked back down to the robot that was going to be a copy of her boyfriend.
92 percent.
Shanah noticed the eyes on the screen of her computer."I see you fixed it!" she said as she stared at it.The eyes on the computer turned their gaze to her.They blinked and then squinted.
Emily noticed the eyes were fixed on Shanah for some reason."The eyes have never acted like that before..." Emily turned her head back to her robot.It's nothing,she thought.
Shanah stared back at the eyes for a few more seconds,and then turned her head to Emily."I'm so sorry about your robot boyfriend..." she looked a bit over-sincire to Emily.
"I'm working on bringing him back..." Emily said.She walked over to the front of her computer because Shanah was in the way.She looked at the screen.95 percent.
Shanahs hands were still behind her back."Do you remember the science fair you went to when you were eight?"
Emily looked at her with great surprise."How do you know about that?I have'nt evan told Vickie about that!" Emily looked at her really hard now.
"There was a girl there who worked very hard on a cloning machine." Shanah seemed to be smiling more than ever,now."She tried to clone her dog,but ended up burning all of the hair off of it.It happened in front of the judges!" she said,a disturbing looking smile on her face.
Emily remembered the young blonde girl.She hade the sweetest face.Her eyes were bright blue.She was the cutest thing!
She tried to clone her dog,but after her invention was done trying to,her one dog came out without any of it's fur.Emily loved animals,so this was a really sad memory.
The judges gave Emily the 1st place ribbon,while the girl won nothing.Emily made a cloning machine,too.Only see put Vickie's dog inside.Two dogs came out.
Emily walked over to the girl."I can fix your cloning machine for you!" she said with a smile.
The girl gave her a cold,scary look that was so diferent from her normal,happy look of a eight year old.She ran away from Emily,crying loudly.
This memory pained Emily.She felt so bad for her.
"What about that girl?And how do you know about that?Did you know her?" Emily said to Shanah.
Shanah removed her hands from behind her back."Yes,Emily!" she smiled brightly with her eyes wide open.She held a fimiliar looking ax in her hands."That girl was me!"
