Bot in the Box

At Danny's house...

With the sound of the tires leaving the driveway, Seven turned himself back on. Looking around the office, he realized that he was now at Danny's residence. Checking his charging battery life, increasing at the normal pace, Seven stood up. He looked about the untidy office. His housekeeping function kicked in and he started to clean and organize.

Satisfied with the office, Seven wondered about the house. It was clean, a bit dusty like Danny barely lived in the rest of the house at all. Even his bedroom looked untouched except for the few clothes in the hamper.

Opening the door to the guest room, Seven found it curious that there was a docking station set up. It was functional, yet there was a heavy layer of dust on it and everything in the room. Next to the station was an oversized large shipping box. Written on the cardboard was a faded message from Brandon.

'To keep you company on the lonely nights.' Was the message. Seven opened the box. Inside, untouched was a A.I. sex bot from the Fiona 7200 series. Her statue was short, only five foot two. Her body type was slim with womanly curves. The length of hair was long, flowing to her waist, with a heavy bang straight above her eyebrows and in the interchangeable clear stage. The face was sweet with a slender nose, little chin, high cheekbones. She had full lips and colored light pink. The skin tone was sun kissed tan all over.

Seven cleaned off the dust from the docking station. Going backing into Danny's bedroom, he took his bathrobe. Carefully, Seven wrapped the bot up in the robe for this model came not wearing clothes. Picking her bridal style, Seven took her from the remains of the box and placed her on the docking station. The indicating light started to blink red, she was charging.

Taking the iPad that came in the box, Seven powered it on and opened the programs since Brandon had taped the account information on the back of the iPad. There were multiple updates waiting to be uploaded. Seven went through each other, selecting the ones that would benefit the bot best.

Once the updates were done, Seven went to functions. He bypassed the sexual one. There was not need. The non-sexual functions were looked over. He chose hand holding, hugging, cuddling, and both ways of kissing. For the service function, he looked over and decided to wait to see what she wanted to be. The companion function was odd to go through. He had to think about the traits he like in Nicole for reference. Kind, sweet, a sense of humor, outgoing, and patient were a few that came to mind as he selected them.

Customized? Seven looked to his memory banks. There was a shade of blond, more like a dark honey that he thought looked nice. Nicole's eyes were a striking green, yet Seven found brown eyes more interesting with their darkness and depth.

A name? Seven looked at her. There was a word that came to mind, what he really wanted for himself and now her. To adapt, to change and flow. Make their own way in a sense. He typed it in. He tapped the upload button. Now, it was just a waiting game.

A clicking sound pulled Seven from rest mode. The bot was standing up from the docking station. She was looking about. Her dark brown eyes with gold flakes fell on him. A small smile formed across her face. Her eyes lit up a bit when she saw him.

"Hello Seven." She spoke, her voice was sweet and lyrical. He smiled at the sound of his name from her.

"Hello River." Seven replied. Her smile grew when he said her name. Seven opened his arms to her. Without hesitation, River went to him, laying her head on his chest. Her arms went around his waist. Seven kissed the crown of her head as she snuggled against him. Seven now understood why hugging was the best feeling in the world.
