Anywhere But Burbank

Chapter 44: Cassidy, Baby Genius #2

A spaceship flies by a bunch of space rocks, piloted by the one and only Cassidy, the baby genius. "Hi! My name is Cassidy, and this is my robo-dog, Arfroid." She points to her robot dog Arfroid and he barks in a friendly manner, sticking out his tongue, panting. "I made him myself. You see, I'm a genius. But sometimes, I feel too smart for my own good." Cassidy frowned a little bit, but then sees a warning flash on her radar. "Danger! Danger!" Some flying asteroids were heading her way as she looked surprise. "Woah! I gotta go!" She flies away as they pass by.

(In the scene.)

Cassidy was working on separate voice chips for her dog and her robot butler that she was about to finish. She downloads some voice files and looks through them to see what would fit best for them. "Hmm... So many decisions to choose from." A ring comes from the voice chat room. Cassidy answers the call and Doc began to talk to her. "Hello there Cassidy. How's the voice chip project going for you?" "Everything is going pretty well. I'm just looking at some voice files to see which voice would fit best for Winston." Cassidy tell him and screen shares her progress.

Doc looks at the voice files. "You want my advice, Cass? Try the voice file on the top right. I think that would be best." Cassidy nodded and downloaded the file like he wanted. "I'll have him submitted to the labs by the end of the week, Doc. See you then." "Absolutely." Doc smiles and ends the video call with her to let her get to work. Cassidy wait for the files to be downloaded onto Winston's voice chip as Arfroid hops into her lap, licking her face. "Aw, he-e-ey!" She pets him gently and looks down at him. "I'll find a voice for you too. But jobs come first, remember?" Arfroid whimpered, giving her a cute face.

Cassidy got him his own voice file downloaded and then got him a treat. "You want it sweetie?" Arfroid nodded and sat down. Cassidy looks at Arfroid, while holding onto the treat. "Alright Arfroid. Roll over." Arfroid spun around, rolling over. "Play Dead." Cassidy got behind a protective barrier as Arfroid self destructed and then came back together. She walked over to him and gave Arfroid his treat. "Good boy."

Soon enough, the voice files got done downloading onto the separate voice chips. Cassidy puts Winston's into his circuit board and Arfroid into his own. "Alright, speak." Winston spoke to Cassidy in a very calm and collected british accent. "Hello there, Cass. I'm Winston, here to serve your every need." He then got a little bit scared at himself talking. "W-what happened?" "Relax, my robo-butler. I just gave you a voice chip into your circuit board." Cassidy calms him down and Winston looks at himself. "I-I guess that's okay."

(Friday)

Cassidy brought in Winston to the labs as Doc greeted her. "Good afternoon Cass. Is this Winston you talked to us about?" Winston bowed and shook his head. "Yes, I am. It's good to meet your acquaintance, sir." They scan him gently and Anya nodded. "Yes. Yes, he's perfect. This is just what we need." Winston looks at Cassidy, confused. "Winston, you've been a great pal for me. I really appreciate you.. But I'm a big girl.. I need to learn to do things on my own.."

Winston nodded. "I understand my lady.. It's been an honor to have you in service for so long." The two shared one last hug together and Cassidy said "I am satisfied with my help from you." Cassidy and Arfroid both leave the labs and went home together. "Well Arfroid, it's been a long day. How about we go get something to eat?" Arfroid panted in excitement and they went to the local burger joint together
