**DG**
An I don't own Twilight Zone. But it does hold timeshare to my soul.
I stared at my mothers, dumbfounded.
First my parents weren't my parents and now my boyfriend isn't human?
This wasn't happening.
"But he said he loved me."
"And I'm sure he thought he did when he was.. What did you call him, Angel?" Mother asked in a soothing manner.
"Glitch." I replied, pulling his coat closer. Tears stung my eyes as I realized it was probably all I would ever have of him.
"DG " Emily, my robot mother started again. "He couldn't remember what he was. He must have seen others attain love and let himself believe he could too! "
"But the fact remains he can't "
"This is like some really bad Twilight zone." I exclaimed.
I turned away, turned so they couldn't break my heart any further. I heard Emily stop my mother and a very large part of me was relieved. I rushed off to my room as fast as I could without running. I was feet from my door when I heard Glitch call my name.
"DG!"
Part of me wanted to keep going. Another part wanted to drop right through the floor.
"Hey, Kid!"
I turned in surprise. Mr. Cain?
Cain and ......Ambrose were striding toward me.
My heart melted completely. He didn't even walk like Glitch.
"DG we need to talk." Ambrose said urgently Cain nodded. He was white as a sheet.
So he knew
"WHO ARE YOU?" Id never been so angry "WHAT ARE YOU?"
"Ah. So your mother told you then." He stopped a foot away, Cain a little behind him.
I nodded and my composure broke. I stepped forward and pulled myself into his chest. He wrapped his arms carefully around me. A very Glitch move.
Maybe, I thought frantically, hopefully, maybe they were wrong.
"Do you?" I murmured
"What?" He knew, I know he knew what I was asking.
"Do you love me?"
"I can't"
I tried to pull away, he held tighter.
Cain cleared his throat, embarrassed.
Deal Tin-man
"I can't love you Dol-D-Princess. But I did. And I want to." he whispered.
I pushed away. "Your coat" I offered the old, stained, but so very soft materiel to him. But Ambrose only shook his head.
"Keep it." he said as he walked away. "For when Glitch comes back."
From the look Cain gave me, I could tell I wasn't the only one confused

Whenever queried as to whether he received any residuals from telecasts of the 1939 classic,(Wizard of Oz) Bolger(The scarecrow,) would reply: "No, just immortality. I'll settle for that."
