Emily was now on the old couch in front of the pink screened computer with green eyes.It was showing a tv show on television.Beyond Beleif:Fact or Fiction.Emily loved that show.
Sonny just came back down from the kitchen.He was helping Emily's mother with the dishes.
"Hey,pooky!" Emily got up at once when she heard his moving parts coming down the stairs.She ran up the stairs as Sonny got half-way down them.
"What does 'pooky' mean?" he said as Emily took his metal hands and they walked back down together.
"That's your petname,pooky!" she said as they got off the last stair and headed toward the old couch."It's what couples do!They give eachother cute little petnames and do fruity stuff like that!" she said as they sat on the couch.
"I do not know what to call you!" Sonny said as he put his arm around Emily.Emily put her arms around Sonny's plastic shell of a chest andhugged it."You can call me anything,pooky!" she kissed his white,plastic cheek.
"How did you do this?You don't evan know your own alphabet!" A woman held a peice of paper that a little girl drew on.Within the other things she drew on it she wrote help mommy on it.
"What is this?" Sonny asked Emily asthey stared at the screen.
"This is a show where they tell you stories and you have to guess if any of them really happened or not in real life!" Emily got evan closer to Sonny."I love this show!"
"I think it's true!" Sonny looked back at the screen."It would be nice if it was."
Suddenly the door above them opened and Vickie came storming down again.
"Hey,Vic!" Emily said as she saw her hop on the couch."Should'nt you be in bed?"
"I was going to bed but that's when I remembered something that Shanah told me before she tied me to my bed and tried to kill you!" Vickie faced Emily."The school's gonna have a dance this tuesday!" Vickie got so happy she made the couch shake."Students,teachers,everyone at school'sinvited!" Vickie jumped closer to Emily.
"But what am I going to wear?" Emily said to Vickie as Sonny listened in.
"Something!Hey...We could go on a shopping spree for the dance tomorrow at the mall!" Vickie cheered.
"Can I be involved in the plans?" Sonny said to them as they chattered on about the dance.
"You can go shopping with..." Emily looked at Sonny's plastic face and the wires coming out of his chin and then his metal,shoe like feet."Oh pooky...You can't come!If somebody sees you who knows--"
"I understand..." Sonny looked down at the strange yet shiny looking feet that were made to look like heeled shoes.He frowned for a moment and then smiled at Emily."Be sure to show me your new dress as soon as you get home,Emily..." Sonny got up and walked to the bed that Emily and Sonny slept in when he was a solid hologram.He sat on it and looked down at Emily and Vickie on the couch,talking.As they spoke to eachother,Sonny thought to himself.What's it like being human?...To be able to go places and be just like the rest...To feel rain and wind on your skin...To have skin?
"Oh,Vickie..." Emily said to Vickie as Sonny thought."I wish there was something I could do for him..." she looked at her computer and then said "Maybe I could make something that could turn electronics into living beings!" she said as she looked at the shower door that her holographic boyfriend went into just yesterday."I could turn that object uploader into that!" Emily smiled."Peice of cake!"
"Girl,if you can make a time machine I'm sure you can do that!" Vickie giggled.Sonny heard what Vickie said and wondered what they were talking about.
"See ya tomorrow for the shopping spree,girl!" Vickie got up and went to the door to the living room.Emily walked up to the bed Sonny was sitting on.
"What were you and Vickie talking about?" Sonny asked Emily with his gentle face on.Emily did'nt feel like explaining her new plan.It was much too complicated.She was much too tired.
Emily leaned on Sonny,hugging his shoulders as she wispered in his ear."I'm much too tired,pooky..." she kissed him on the cheek again.
"Why is it so hard to explain?" Sonny turned his head so he was completely face to face with Emily.Emily kissed his plastic lips."I'll explain it in the morning,pooky..."
Emily already had her nightgown on.She slipped under the covers and went to sleep.
"Lights out!" Sonny said.All of the lights in the room turned off and the screen on the computer they were watching tv on faded out.Sonny laid on the bed without putting the covers over himself.He loved being kissed and hugged by Emily...Evan though he could barely feel it.
