All the policemen gathered into their patrol vehicles and zoomed off to their other duties. Astro hung around for awhile, keeping a keen eye for clues that the other humans might have missed. Mr. Downs' son, Micha, walked up to Astro. He had short, golden blonde hair and was wearing an expensive denim outfit. "You're a robot, aren't you?" Astro looked at him and leaned against the building wall.

"Yeah." He replied. Micha examined him.

"You don't look like one." He said.

"Thank you, I try." Micha joined Astro and leaned against the wall. "You're the chief of police, Mr. Downs' son aren't you? Micha." Micha nodded.

"And you're head of the ministry of science, Dr. Tenma's son, aren't you? Astro." Astro smiled and nodded. "My dad knows how you died." Micha suddenly said. Astro turned his head to the ground. "Did you feel it?"

"Feel what?" he asked.

"Death." Astro had never been asked this question before. He looked back in Toby's memories to that very day. And despite he was a robot; he got the chills up his spine. The blurred sounds of him banging his fists on the thick glass wall, the scared face of his dad and then the blinding flash of the Peace Keeper's unexpected attack and then... "I-I…I did feel it." He was surprised at his own answer.

"What's it like?" Micha said.

"Um…cold." Micha shoved his hands in his jean pockets. "Cold and quick, the way I died."

"I'm sorry for asking, this must be a very difficult conversation for you." Astro looked at Micha.

"Why are you so interested in death?" Micha heaved a sigh.

"My mother passed away only a few days ago. I just wanted to know if she was in pain or not." Micha looked to the ground.

"My mother died when I was very young." Astro said. Micha looked up at him.

"Really?"

"Yep. I was only maybe a year old. My dad doesn't talk about it, but the one time he did he said she was the kindest, smartest, most beautiful woman in all of Metro City." Micha smiled.

"They must have loved each other very much. How did she die?"

"Car accident, on the day before my birthday." Astro recalled. He looked at Micha. "They never leave you, Micha." Micha smiled and walked over to his dad, working away on the outside desk. Astro smiled and took a deep breath of the chilling night air.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Astro looked around, and then quickly got out his phone. "Hello?"

"Astro! You have to come NOW!" the voice of a very anxious Dr. Elefun boomed out of the phone.

"Err, Dr. Elefun, are you okay?" Astro said.

"I'm fine, but someone isn't!" Astro frowned.

"What?"

"Come over and help her!" Astro looked around.

"Okay, I'll be there in about two minutes." Astro clicked the phone off and walked over to Mr. Downs. "Sir, I have to go." Mr. Downs twisted around.

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes, go on Astro." He said, and then quickly went back to work.

"See ya Astro." Micha said with a wave. Astro smiled and boosted into the sky. He passed buildings, his favourite pizza place, construction zones and then finally to his building. Elefun was parked outside it and also something else was there. Something that looked like a little girl, lying unconscious on the ground just outside the steps. Astro landed and ran over to Elefun and the girl. He squatted down next to Elefun and examined her. "Is she dead?" Astro asked. Elefun jolted, as if he hadn't known Astro had arrived.

"No I don't think so." Elefun looked to Astro. "Could you see if there are any broken bones?" Astro nodded. He shone on his X-ray vision and shone it on the girl. He saw a robot chest. He jolted back in astonishment. Elefun frowned. Astro shone his vision on her arm. A robot arm. "She's…she's…" Elefun couldn't get the word out. Astro grinned and his X-ray vision faded.

"She's a robot! Elefun, can you believe it?" they stood up, Dr. Elefun's face confused. He looked around.

"Maybe she belongs to someone…" he turned back to see Astro X-raying her again.

"Wow…she's almost got the same design as me."

"Com'on Astro. Let's go." Astro's vision disappeared and he turned to Elefun.

"What? Elefun, we can't just leave her here!"

"Astro, she most probably belongs to someone."

"What, and just accidentally misplaced her here?"

"Astro-"

"We have to help her!" Elefun looked at Astro; a grieving expression on his face. He sighed.

"Alright."

"YES!" Astro picked the robot girl carefully up and followed Dr. Elefun into the building.

"Well, she's in perfect condition. She just needs a little more power." Astro looked at the girl, lying on the lab table. He walked over to her and pulled up his shirt. His chest hatch opened. Elefun spun around. "Astro! What are you doing?"

"Its okay, Dr. Elefun." The BlueCore energy flowed out of Astro's chest and into the girl robot. Elefun walked over and watched with wide eyes. The BlueCore wrapped around the girl and surged into her, her chest glowing. Then Astro stopped and pressed the hatch closed. He walked up closer to her and waited…waited….waited….and then suddenly, a heart rate came up above the table, beeping at a good speed. Astro leaned to the girl's face. Her eyes slowly flickered open. "Hmmm…" she looked at Astro, her vision pixilated. It settled and she could see him more clearly. "What? Who are you?" she said, sitting up and shaking her head. Astro smiled at her consciousness.

"My name's Astro."

"Astro…" the girl mumbled. Something deep in her programming reminded her about a robot called Astro and what she had to do. She looked around and hopped off the table. "Where am I?" she asked.

"Oh, you're in Dr. Tenma's lab, my dad's." The girl turned around.

"Dad?"

"Yeah, you know, fathers, mothers…" Astro said. "Sisters and Brothers."

"Am I your sister?" she said gleefully, walking over to Astro and smiling at him. Astro looked over to Dr. Elefun. "Can I keep her Dr. Elefun?" Astro asked. Elefun rubbed his chin and looked at Astro and the girl. They both smiled at him sweetly. "Well, okay Astro. But she's your responsibility and if she ends up having an owner she's going back."

"YAYYY!" the girl jumped up on Astro and hugged him.

"Whoa!" he fell over, the robot girl still hugging him around the waist.

"Big brother! Big BROTHER!" she cried. Dr. Elefun laughed.

"Good luck!" he said, walking out the room. Astro groaned and tried to release her grip. She soon let go and beamed at him. "You a robot too? Can I have your room? Where is your room? Can I stay there? Do you have a house bot? I love house bots! And also-" Astro covered her mouth. She kept tying to mumble out the words. Astro remove his hand. "-Do you have any friends? Can I meet them? Getting back in the topic of your room-"

"QUIET!" Astro yelled. The robot girl stopped and pouted at him with watery eyes. She started sobbing. Astro's scowl dropped. "Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." The girl continued to sob. Astro thought for awhile. "Look, if you really want...you can stay in my room with me." The girl immediately stopped crying and smiled.

"OKAY!" she ran out the lab.

"WAIT!" Astro ran after her. He walked down into the kitchen. "Hello? Little girl!"

"AHH!" Astro heard Orrin scream from the lounge room. He ran in and saw the girl riding on Orrin's back, Orrin rolling around in fright. "Get it off! Get it off!" he screamed.

"FUN! FUN!" the girl yelled, wrapping her arms around Orrin's neck and laughing.

"Hey! Get off him! Orrin! Stop moving!"

"GET IT OFF!" Orrin kept whirling around. Astro felt his feet disappear and his rocket boots take over. He hovered above the ground and zoomed over to Orrin and the girl. The girl didn't notice him. Orrin finally stood still and Astro lifted the girl from him. She gasped and looked up with a smile. Orrin heaved a sigh of relief. "You can fly? You are a robot! But I already knew of course..." The girl kept talking away as Astro lowered to the ground.

"Do you EVER stop talking?" he said, landing and looking at her. She frowned.

"Talk? Me?" Astro sighed. Orrin looked at them.

"Astro… is this one of your friends?" he said wearily. Astro cleared his throat.

"Um, Orrin, this is my new sister." Orrin's eyes widened. "We found her outside the building." The girl looked at Astro.

"Really? Is that were you found me?" Astro nodded.

"Do you remember anything?" the girl shook her head. "Do you have a name?"

"No." she replied.

"Okay, what can we call you…?"

"What! No way are you're calling me anything!" she huffed. She walked around the room. Astro smiled and sat on the couch. Orrin came over to watch. "There's nothing here that gives me ideas!" the girl said, stamping her foot on the ground.

"If it does help, Master Astro's Sister, I could give you a name I know." Orrin offered.

"Okay, what is it?"

"Zoran."

"What! Orrin! No!" Astro said suddenly. The girl looked at him.

"What? I like it!" she said.

"Apologies, Astro. I shouldn't have suggested it." Orrin said, rolling out the room to the kitchen.

"What? What's wrong with the name Zoran?" Astro slumbered in his chair.

"Its mom's name..." he said quietly. The girl leaned over the couch.

"And? What's wrong with two people called Zoran? Hey, when can I meet mum? Is she out for something? Maybe-"

"She's not with us anymore!" the girl fell silent and looked at Astro.

"That's what I was going to ask, when will she be back?" Astro turned around.

"NEVER, OKAY! SHE'S GONE FOREVER!"

"Where though?" she snapped back. Astro shook his head.

"You don't get it..." He said, and walked out of the room, leaving the girl standing in confusion.

Astro sighed. He sat on his bed with a picture of his mom and dad in it. His mom had dark brown curly locks that went to her waist and big brown eyes like his. A single tear drop dripped down Astro's face. Before he was glad that his dad was leaving, but now he felt he would die without him. He heard the door open and quickly wiped his face and shoved the picture under his pillow. The girl stood there. She smiled. "I'm sorry if I don't understand humans that much. I mean, I don't even know any humans yet." Astro smiled back.

"Here, I'll help get your bed ready…Zoran."
