Hey everyone! Hope you liked the oneshots of the TLC crew. From a review, that for some reason I only saw on email, and not on the actual fanfic, I realized that I totally forgot about Kiko! So I madly wrote up another chapter featuring everybody's favourite android, Iko, and also Kinney! Enjoy!

Kinney couldn't contain his grin as he made his way to Iko's room. Kinney started daydreaming about the past. He and Iko had had a rough start, but soon they got used to each other, Iko his dry humour, and Kinney, the fact that she was an android. One thing led to another, and here Kinney was, giving Iko a "birthday" present.

Iko had always wanted one, and was a little ashamed to tell Cinder, because she was so busy with Luna right now. So she confided in Kinney. Kinney, who was starting to grow on Iko, decided to get a birthday gift for the lovable android. And he was positive that she would love it. Kinney grinned to himself as he stopped in front of a elegantly carved door that read, Madame Counselor. He repositioned the wooden crate under his arms, which was covered in poorly decorated wrapping paper and ribbons, but still very festive. He raised his arm to knock, when the door burst open, and Iko sprang out, dragging Kinney into the room.

"Hi Kinney! It's nice to see you again! Wait, what's the box for? And what's with all the streamers?" Iko asked curiously, bouncing up and down on the bed. Kinney suppressed a smile, and held the box out, saying in a monotone voice that he used as a guard, "Madame Counselor, I present to you, your very unbirthday birthday present," Iko squealed, and pulled Kinney into a warm hug. Surprisingly, Kinney thought, Iko felt very human. Sooner or later, Kinney would forget that Iko was even an android at all.

"You remembered! I didn't think you were being serious when I told you," Iko nearly screamed. Kinney shrugged and scratched his head. He could remember their conversation. Iko trying to cry, her eyes a melancholy blue, trying, and failing to cry. It was heartbreaking. Iko had wanted to be human so bad, Kinney decided then and there that he would do anything to see those sunflower yellow eyes, and that included in treating her like a human. And so here he was, with a tearful android and a silly looking party hat.

"Iko, open it. And I want you to know, it's going to be your responsibility to take care of her and everything." Kinney, smiled, enjoying the surprised eyes of the android. Purple with splashes of blue, like a firework.

"Wait, you mean it's alive?" Iko asked. Kinney shook his head up and down, and eagerly gestured for Iko to open the crate. Iko eagerly did so, and stared in shock as she lifted out a small cocker spaniel puppy. Kinney had to grin in spite of himself. His mother, Mabel Kinney, had always loved pets, and had opened an animal adoption center. Cinder had graciously persuaded the Earthen Council to send a shipment of dogs and puppies, arguing that Lunars needed dogs as much as Earthens. Cinder's idea had been a good one, and many Lunars adopted, in need of a furry companion.

Worried that some Lunars would try to control their pets, Cinder had installed the Linh device in all dogs and puppies that were born, to give them protection against any crazy Lunars. It had worked, and Mabel could barely keep up with the demands. Cinder herself had even gotten a dog, but from Emperor Kai, when she was down on Earth. That's where she got the shelter idea.

Kinney himself had personally asked his mother if he could adopt one. Smiling, she had let him pick out a puppy free of charge. Kinney had picked what he thought was the happiest dog in the world. The cocker spaniel was never down. She was always jumping, always wanting to play. She was perfect for Iko, who he thought needed a companion who could always be with her.

Iko was always lonely, with Kinney having to go to his shifts, Cinder running a country, and the rest of her friends down at Earth. Kinney hoped that would be different now with the energetic dog. And now, watching Iko's eyes light up into sunflower yellow, Kinny knew that he had been right.

"OMG! She's so cute! I love her, and she's all mine!" Iko hugged her new pet with all the strength an android could muster, while her new dog was trying to lick Iko's face.

"Cinder got me a new sensor pad, the latest technology, and she's soooo soft!" Iko grinned with all her might.

"You know what? I'm going to name her Sunny! She's so happy! And I love her, thank you so much Kinney!" Kinney smiled, and something inside of him fluttered.

"You'll let me see Sunny right? I can help you train her. My mom owns the shelter, and she taught me some ways to train dogs. It'll be fun. We can give her treats and play fetch with her." Iko smiled.

"That would be great, Kinney, this is the best birthday present I've ever gotten,"

"Maybe because its the only birthday gift you've ever gotten," Kinney joked, and Iko laughed. Again, Kinney felt something stir inside of him. Iko looked beautiful, and he truly meant it. Iko stared at him.

"Kinney, what's wrong, your eyes look unfocused, and your body heat is rising," Iko asked worriedly. She came close to put her hand on Kinney's forehead, and suddenly, without thinking, Kinney pulled Iko towards him, pressing his lips against hers. Iko gasped, and Kinney wondered if she was mad.

But then he saw a glimpse of her eyes. Sunflower yellow. He smiled.

So hey, what do you think? This is now my favourite chapter out of all of them, Kaider being second. I hope you enjoy, this one was for CoCoIzyumy, who requested it!
