"We have-" Minerva started saying before Iris cut her off.

"Behind you!" Iris whisper shouted.

Minerva turned around. There approaching them, was a robot! It had it's arm extended as if it was going to shoot something. Or someone.

"What do the robots normally do to people?" Minerva asked Iris.

"Oh, you know, the ordinary quick super painful death." Iris said.

"That is not normal." Minerva said.

"Follow me to the palace." Iris said

After a while Minerva asked "Why are we going to the palace?"

"To steal a ship." Iris replied.

"And why would we do that?" Minerva questioned.

"To get off this planet obviously!" Iris said, "It's not like the robots can fly."

"Oh look, a flying robot." Minerva said pointing behind them.

"Darn!" Iris exclaimed, "Change of plans, we're going to the mall."

"Oh, look, the flying robot is landing very close to us." Minerva said.

It started approaching, with it's arm extended.

"It's going to shoot." Iris realized.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Minerva's mind. "Don't do anything, I have a plan." Minerva ordered Iris.

"Just because I'm 15 doesn't mean I can be bossed around! And what is this plan?" Iris asked.

"You'll see." Minerva replied.

The robot got closer, obviously about to shoot Minerva, but as it was getting ready to shoot, Minerva shouted "Stop!"

For a moment nothing happened, but then, surprisingly, the robot stopped and said in a creaky robot voice "What would you like me to do master?"
