A/N- Since it's the holidays... (And this chapter will reveal X-Terminator's identity)
22- Ava's New Home
Ava sat beside a very fake pine tree. The paper was wrapped a little too tight.
"Human holidays," she muttered, though her voice was muffled.
The woman from earlier and her daughter, a twenty-something with dyed blue hair, sat on the sofa, eating breakfast.
Ava was wheeled over towards the younger woman.
"For me?" she asked her mother.
"Well, you did need a new vacuum, and this one cost a lot of money."
The daughter removed the wrapping paper from Ava.
"Kirby... Avalir II?"
Ava found herself being wheeled into an apartment, then into a bedroom closet.
The X-box sitting on the stand slowly turned to face her.
"Oh, hi," a peppy, feminine voice said. "I'm Lexie, or as my pals on the servers call me, X-Terminator. Glad to see someone new here."
Ava just crept closer.
Lexie just stared at the TV. "Please don't tell my friends that I'm actually a girl. I wouldn't hear the end of it." Another pause. "Will they forgive me for yelling insults? I mean, the others do it."
The TV unfroze. "I see you've met my..."
"Spit it out, Ella!" Lexie said. "Everyone else knows we're dating, so this new addition has to know."
"Girlfriend," The TV finally said.
Lexie smiled. "We were last year's Christmas present."
Ella paused. "I'm sure the guys in the kitchen might want to meet you."
Ava wheeled out.
A couple hours later, Ava wheeled back in.
"There's a toaster...
"Sourdough..." Lexie giggled.
"A fridge..."
"Icy."
Ava just stared at Ella and Lexie. "Don't look at us. They named themselves for the most part."
