Wall-E: "Whoa!"

Angel: "Yea, I know. Are you nuts Demonsion? If you publish two chapters within 2 hours the readers would want another chapter within 2 hours as well!"

Demonsion: "Whatever, I do what I want, okay? And where's Eve?"

Angel: "M-O just came and... asked her out and she agreed..."

Wall-E: "Rrrrr..."

Demonsion: "Uh, calm down Wall-E, it won't be much. As always I don't own you, or M-O, or Eve, or Auto. But I still do own ANGE-L, right?"

Angel: "Yea, yea... whatever... By the way my name means "Audio-communication Networks Global Evaluator - Leading class", okay? On to the story!"

Chapter 2: Directive

A.D. 2820

Captain McCrea sat in his new office, the centre of the new colony. The colony was shaped in a ring, the inner ring belonging to residences and farms, the outer ring belonging to the robot docks. The captain, using little bits of leftover cement, pasted the last and the current portrait of he himself on the wall above his desk. And done! The captain admired his work of printing his predecessors' portraits and pasting them on the wall: the perfect start to the colony's history, although it really did begin with McCrea himself, or rather, Wall-E. McCrea sighed, and looked out of the window with binoculars that Wall-E had given to him.

On the outer ring of the colony…

Angel was scanning around the truck, with Wall-E guiding her from behind, making sure his precious would not destroy any of his treasures. Eve went about in the truck, tidying up the treasures Wall-E had, and repairing the hole that she blasted through when she was fixing Wall-E. At this point she stared at the hole. The desperation…She shook her head at how desperate she was then. Such fear of being lonely… Like how Wall-E should have felt for seven centuries… But she realized, she was lonely before too. It was only that her directive blinded her from that fact. Now as she looked at Angel… She saw a young robot picking up a music player. Wall-E examined it. It looked similar to the player in he played "Hello, Dolly!" with, only it had a slimmer design.

The young robot clicked the "play" button (Wall-E realized he had the same button as well). The screen instantly flickered on, with music coming out of it.

"A-N-G-E-L… A-N-G-E-L…"

Eve now approached the father-daughter duo. She heard music, but she could not understand it, as her vocabulary in English was still limited. She can only hear her daughter's name being spelled out a few times. It was rather nice, though not as romantic as "It Only Takes A Moment" from "Hello, Dolly!", the song had a addicting rhythm to it…

When the song ended, everyone was silent. The song, though unintelligible to both Wall-E and Eve, it sounded like there was much emotion in it. Unexplainable, illogical, yes, but still, it was nice.

Then, Angel suddenly spoke, translating the whole song into Axiom beeps and tones. "… If I can be your Angel… Your Angel… Your Angel… I'll protect you from the pain, the pain oh…" And she proceeded on to hum the tune through her speakers.

Eve was stunned. So this was Angel's directives: to translate any audio message into an intelligible language. Although Wall-E's inability to enunciate everything was cute, Angel's ability to translate about anything was wonderful: music to the ears in fact. Eve led the young Angel to watch "Hello! Dolly!" as the young Angel interpreted every part of the show. Wall-E came up behind the mother-daughter duo, and the whole family watched a millennium old movie, under the twinkling stars of the night.

Angel, being only a week old, just beeped as the information came into its processor. She only knew that Wall-E and Eve were her guiders, and that she had a directive. This, was only the beginning…
