ESCAPING REALITY [An ii fanfic about AUs]

CHAPTER 4 - Pretty please?

[DROID'S POV]

Yesterday was... a fiasco, everything was peaceful and I finally had everything in order until my higher up brought... that girl here. I SPECIFICALLY wrote for them to not bring ANYONE ELSE but they didn't listen! They get persuaded WAY too easily!! I mean, how good at convincing can that girl really be?

I'll be honest... I always hated changes, first I'm unable to find my previous higher ups, then I can't speak with others, NOW I'M FORCED TO LIVE WITH THAT 'SPARK' GIRL! It's just... that overwhelms me a lot, it was way easier when I had orders from my guardians! THAT is when I knew what to do... but at least the shelter is still intact even after my absence, that's something to be happy about... right?

I keep lying down on the mattress of the bedroom as I shut my screen, reflecting about the faint memories I have of my days before my absence, and that felt... depressing somehow.

While I had this quiet moment for myself, I suddenly felt... a presence, I turned my screen back on and suddenly I saw Spark looking down at my face with a big grin.

"ꉂ⋈𓂅ᯅ ᯅ⋈⋆?!" I yell as I CLEARLY GOT SCARED BY THAT. "Oh, sorry!" Spark surprisingly apologized and gave me some space as I sat up on the mattress with an annoyed expression.

"I was talking with Blazey earlier and they told me that you don't seem to leave this place very often..." Spark was speaking; she was right, I hardly leave the shelter as is my most valuable belonging I was given... "I was thinking... maybe you and me could go out for a small expedition!" She wanted to WHAT?!

"๑ꕤꮺ ꉂ𓂅ଘᯅ ᯅꕤ ꉂ⋈𓂅ᯅ?!" I screamed out loud my thoughts at Spark despite her being unable to understand me. "Woah woah relax! No need to get all that bursty, it'll be good for you! You shouldn't lock yourself THAT MUCH in here" Spark gave me reassurance.

I made a clearly annoyed expression and crossed my arms. "... look, I know that you are a robot very committed to a... 'purpose'... but! is always nice to take a little break from all that work! Even for robots, don't ya think?" Spark told me with a smile, which conflicted me somehow... UGH! C'mon Droid you were complaining about her some moments ago, don't give her victory so easily!

Spark saw me turn myself away from her, she sighed. "C'moonn, even Blazey agrees with me! That's EXACTLY what we were talking about" Spark told me, which made me quite confused, giving a more softened glare at her. "... what? Thought I would just grab you and leave without telling anyone else? I'm not some evil kidnapper!" Spark told me in a playful manner.

Spark analyzed my expression before going back on track. "Maybe you won't do it for me but maybe do it for Blazey...? You seem very attached to them" Spark spoke to me with a kind smile, and as much as I hate to admit... she was right, and the reason was foolish and embarrassing, but it's not like she'll ever know...

"You'll do it? Pretty please?" Spark begged for me... she won't leave me until she gets what she wants, so why not take the offer already? The sooner the quicker.

I got up from the mattress and took a step forward with defeat, which surprised Spark. "Wait, you'll actually come??" Spark said excitedly, but I raised an eyebrow at her. "...Okay maybe I forced you a little bit, BUT we're still going together!" Spark said. I rolled my eyes in response.

Guess I HAVE TO watch over Spark out there, huh? I already jinxed something, might as well not jinx anything else before things can get worse.

Spark walked to the open door and waited for me, looking as excited as a little kid. I just followed behind.

"BLAZEY! ME AND DROID ARE GOING OUT!" Spark yells for the Brush. "Alright! Just be careful you two!" Blaze shouted back for the Bulb.

I couldn't help but feel... familiar with their friendship, maybe it has to do with some faint memory of mine? But that's pointless thinking for now.
