XJ9 didn't like Skyway Patrol. She felt like she hadn't thought that enough, and she swore that as soon as she could talk, she was going to let those guys have it. It all started normal enough that morning for XJ9. Her alarm had gone off, she slapped the clock's button, and then everything went nuts. Next thing she knew, she could hear the door being banged on, and the familiar yells of those gruff officers immediately put her in a sour mood.

She sunk back down into her bed and pulled her blanket over her head, and wished for the loud noise to stop. Eventually, the familiar sound of the door opening, and her mother's voice began to mix with the loud officers. She knew that she should get up and help her mom deal with whatever was going on down there, but she was far too comfy. She let out a loud yawn, and her eyelids were heavy, she really shouldn't have stayed up that late debating everything.

Now that she was thinking about last night, though, she looked out the window at the blue sky that was starting to lose its orange tint. Pretty is the first word that came to her mind, and she didn't bother looking it up to know that the word must be right. Another yawn slipped out of her mouth, and she rubbed her eyes tiredly. She should get up, but lying there for just a few more minutes couldn't hurt.

She drifted off and found herself in a world of darkness where the thing that tied her back to the real world was the occasionally blurry voice she could hear from downstairs. Even in her knocked out state, she could still make the one female voice amongst them. The blurry voices, even the ones that weren't her mom, gave her some comfort. After all, it was nice to know someone was there.

Sadly, the peace came to a crashing halt when the door to her room was kicked open. She shot up straight in bed with exhaustedly alert eyes. A familiar-looking jerk strolled into her room and took her just a second to realize who it was. The cadet from before that had a fit about her going to her room was waltzing around. Her eyes narrowed, and she let out a noise eerily similar to a grumble. Oh, great. What was he going to yell about this time? He pointed at her and straightened up his back to make him seem more intimidating.

"You robot!"

Again, with the name-calling, huh.

"Get up and come with me."

She blinked and stared at him with no emotion on her face, before calming laying back down in her bed and pulling up her blanket to snuggle with it. She rolled onto her side so she'd be facing away from him and closed her eyes. She could hear him gasp and mumble out some aggravated words that her mind for some reason, censored.

"Robot, I demand you listen to me."

"Leave XJ9, alone."

The sound of her mother's sound made her pigtails stand up little, and she peeked over her shoulder to look at what was happening. The two people glared at each other for a moment, before the cadet got worked up again.

"Wakeman, you're robot isn't listening."

"If anyone isn't listening here, it's you."

He grinned his teeth and clenched his fist before taking a deep breath and calming himself as much as he could.

"Look, I just want this to go as smoothly as possible."

"It would have gone smoothly if the General would've given me a better heads up then just sending you people to barge in."

"You were told that we would be doing another check up on the XJ. We're simply doing our job, and you should've been notified."

"Well, I was not, and even if I had been, there is no reason for you to be barging into my home like this."

"You weren't-HAROLD!"

With that loud yell, he quickly walked out of the room to start chewing someone out. She mom rolled her eyes, and XJ9 rolled over in bed to look at her.

"Good morning, XJ9."

A loud yell from the man rang out.

"Perhaps, it's just a morning now."

She just yawned in response and nuzzled into her pillow.

"Come on, get up, and let's start the day. I have a feeling that those 'charming' cadets have some plans for us."

XJ9 scowled at the thought of whatever she was going to have to do. Her mom chuckled at her expression, and that made her smile a little. Still, she really didn't want to get out of bed. She pulled her blanket up more til covered half of her face and tried to snuggle into the bed more.

"XJ9, come on, get up."

She slowly shook her head no as she wasn't sure what her mom's reaction would be. Her mom raised an eyebrow at her and looked over her for a second.

"You want to stay in bed?"

She fidgeted under her mom's gaze and nodded, yes.

"Not even talking yet and you're already acting like a teenager."

She wasn't sure exactly what her mom was talking about but decided not to question it. She didn't feel like debating more stuff.

"Either you're already picking up those things, or it's just your battery issues."

She shrugged as a loud crashing sound was heard from downstairs.

"Those hooligans are going to rip our house apart. Fine, you can stay in bed for a little bit longer, but we are not making a habit out of this."

Her mother waved her finger at her, and she nodded in return with the sweetest look she could manage in her eyes. With that, her mom left to deal with the cadets and shut the door behind her. XJ9 fell asleep with a little smile on her face as, for some reason, the fact her mom had said it was 'our home' made her feel warm inside.
