I do not own Robotboy

It was early next morning. Tommy was still in bed fast asleep. Suddenly someone calling him from outside woke him up. Tommy got out of bed with a grunt and opened his window.

"What!" he called down a little annoyed.

Then Tommy noticed that Lola and Gus were the ones who were calling him and also noticed three packages next to them 2 small ones and a huge one.

"Where did those come from?" he asked.

"I don't know they were there when we got here." said Lola.

"I'd love to see what's in that big one." said Gus staring hungrily at it.

"They're addressed to you Tommy." said Lola as she examined them.

"Really? OK wait there." said Tommy slightly confused as he didn't remember ordering anything. Tommy grabbed some clothes and got dressed.

It took them all a few minutes to get the huge package up to Tommy's room as it was pretty heavy.

"Where do you think these came from?" asked Tommy.

"No idea." said Lola. "But it is your birthday today you have any relatives in another country?"

"No not that I know of." said Tommy. This actually made him forget that today was his birthday.

"Yeah Tommy has hit the big 1 0" said Gus.

Tommy picked up one of the small packages.

"Well since there addressed to me I guess it's OK to open them." said Tommy with a small smile on his face.

"Yeah open them open them!" cried Gus bouncing up and down like a jumping bean.

Tommy opened the small package.

"Woah!" he cried.

"What is it?" asked Lola.

Tommy pulled out a silvery backpack with blue studs on the top. It looked as if it was made of metal.

"Awesome!" cried Gus.

"Yeah looks like you got your new backpack Tommy." said Lola. "A pretty cool one too."

"Yeah but who sent it? And how did they know I wanted a new one?" asked Tommy.

Lola and Gus just shrugged.

Tommy put the backpack down next to him and opened the smallest package then dropped it in shock.

"OK now I'm getting a little scared" he said timidly.

"What?" asked Lola.

Tommy picked up the package and revealed an orange watch.

"What is going on?" asked Lola a little freaked out herself now.

"I don't know." said Tommy staring at the watch. "What are these buttons for?"

"Lemme me see lemme see!" cried Gus trying to grab the watch from Tommy's hand.

"Gus be careful! You'll break it!" cried Tommy.

Just then Gus accidentally pressed one of the buttons and almost instantly a strange sound came from the huge package.

"What was that?" asked Lola. Then the trio jumped about a foot in the air when they heard a banging noise from inside.

"I think there's something alive in there." said a now really freaked out Lola clutching Tommy's hand.

Tommy bravely rushed to package.

"Er hello? Is someone in there?" he called out.

The banging stopped but no answer came.

"Hang on I'll get you out!" Tommy called again and started tearing open the package and a blinding green light came out. Tommy covered his eyes and stepped back. He uncovered his eyes to see a small figure in the light. He was small and his head looked similar to the shape of Tommy's new backpack. Before Tommy could do anything else the figure stepped out of the package. Tommy gasped as he recognised him. The figure was blue and had aquamarine eyes he also had huge antennas.

"Wow." said Tommy in amazement. "It it's …"

"A ROBOT!" cried Gus rushing right up to the little figure.

WOW Tommy you are so lucky!" he shouted.

The little robot whimpered ran behind the package he came in.

"Gus you're scaring him!" snapped Tommy.

"Him?" Lola asked confused.

"yeah him." said Tommy.

"That's Robotboy!"

"Who?" asked Lola quite surprised.

"He's Robotboy." Tommy said again still trying to recover from the shock.

"Dude I still can't believe you got a robot for your birthday!" cried Gus. He rushed up to where Robotboy was hiding but Tommy grabbed his wrist.

"Oh no you're not scaring him again." said Tommy sternly.

Tommy quietly walked behind the package to see the little robot curled in a ball looking very scared.

"Hi." said Tommy.

Robotboy let out another whimper and took a couple of steps back.

"It's OK I'm not gonna hurt you." said Tommy trying to calm him down. He held out his hand for Robotboy to shake.

"My name's Tommy."

Robotboy stared at Tommy for a few seconds and then at his hand.

"It's OK I just wanna shake hands." said Tommy gently. "It's a way we say hello."

Robotboy hesitantly lifted his hand and shook Tommy's.

Lola walked up to them.

"Hi there I'm Lola" she said.

When Robotboy saw Lola he took a few steps back.

"It's OK she's my friend." said Tommy but Robotboy didn't move. Gus went up behind Tommy and Lola staring at the little robot.

"What's the matter can't you talk?"

Tommy punched Gus in the arm.

"Gus don't be rude!" he snapped.

Just then some strange sounds came from Tommy's new watch.

"Oh what now?" said Gus.

Tommy pressed a button and a holographic image of an elderly person appeared. Robotboy noticed this and a small smile appeared on his face.

"Hello there Robotboy" said Moshimo waving.

Robotboy waved back.

Tommy just stood there awestruck.

"H.. hi" he said nervously.

"Hello Tommy I see my packages arrived safely." said Moshimo.

"Yeah" said Tommy rather excited that Moshimo sent Robotboy over here. After hearing that Robotboy was gonna be sent somewhere safe he never dreamed it will be here.

Gus came up to Robotboy.

"Soooooooo you like it here?" asked Gus giving him a friendly nudge. Unfortunately that nudge caused Robotboy to whimper and run to the other side of the room.

"Ah yes I'm afraid that Robotboy is rather timid at the moment." said Moshimo.

"Yeah I noticed." said Tommy sadly.

"Don't worry" said Moshimo "He just needs to get used to you."

"That's good." said Lola.

"Seems he can't talk though." said Gus earning him a glare from Tommy.

"Give him time He's still learning." laughed Moshimo. "Can I ask you to keep Robotboy a secret? Just until there is no danger to him."

"Sure." said Tommy.

"Of course" said Lola.

"You got it" said Gus.

With that the image disappeared.

"Wow this is awesome!" said Tommy he walked up to Robotboy.

"Don't worry Robotboy I'm sure you'll like it here."

"Tommy are you still up there?" called Deb. Then Tommy heard footsteps coming towards his door.

"Oh no my mum's coming we gotta hide Robotboy." said Tommy slightly panicky.

"Tommy Gus pushed a button on your watch and then we heard Robotboy inside the package. Try pressing it again." suggested Lola.

Tommy pressed the button that Gus pressed awhile ago. Robotboy shrunk and his antennas withdrew into his head. Now he just looked like your everyday robot toy.

"That's pretty cool." said Tommy picking up the now deactivated Robotboy.

Deb opened Tommy's bedroom door.

"Hello there birthday boy." she said giving Tommy a hug and a peck on the cheek.

"Hehe Muuum not in front of my friends." said Tommy.

Deb noticed the robot in Tommy's hand.

"I don't remember this toy." she said.

"Err that's because I brought it myself." said Tommy quickly.

"Oh I see." said Deb then she noticed his backpack.

"Well I came up here to give you your backpack back now that I've fixed it but I see you don't need it anymore." she said.

"Yeah I got him it." lied Lola.

"Well come on downstairs Tommy. You're presents aren't gonna open themselves are they?" said Deb.

"OK I'll be down in a minute." said Tommy.

Deb went to get the others up.

"Well what shall we do with him while you do that?" asked Lola pointing to Robotboy. Tommy went up to his bed and put Robotboy on the shelf above it.

"He'll be OK up here for now." said Tommy.

"Well what are we waiting for let's go!" said Gus excitedly.

With that the trio went downstairs unknowing that a small flying object that seemed to be nothing more than a harmless fly was watching them.

I suppose you've noticed that I've merged chapter two and chapter three together. ^ ^ Yeah I thought it would flow better as one chapter.
