Glitch in the Update - Another II Darkfic

Chapter 1 - Update bugged.

Notes from the Author:

Hello! This is a cross post from AO3 onto Wattpad of my Bot Darkfic

Things I'd like to mention real quick in that I have two of my ship children included in this

Candelabra (SilverCandle)

And Red (FanTube)

And they are both 10 btw

Ok enough yapping about the ship children this is about Bot!

Apologies if anyone is OOC and enjoy the fic =D

Bot slowly woke up as the sun shined through the window of their room, they looked over at their nightstand and their clock said 9:48 AM. Others were probably awake at this time making breakfast downstairs. Bot went to sit up, but it was like their robotic joints refused. Bot groaned and went to sit up again, this time successfully.

The robot had been feeling slow lately, they took a bit longer to process words, and to move a little, which was getting a bit scary. Yes, they were built over 15 years ago, and haven't had many updates, they'd say about 2 or 3 in the span of that time. Bot had to slowly and painstakingly move to sit on the edge of the bed, and then struggle to navigate where their slippers were for a moment.

They found them right in front of their feet and slipped them on and stood up, immediately getting a light-headed feeling. Bot had to tough it out though, and they headed out their room, seeing a few others walk past. They waved to a few and began to go to the elevator. Once in, they stumbled over to the railing to hold on.

They stared at the floor in what they thought was silence, when they processed that someone else was there. "Bot? Hello?" Bot immediately turned their head and saw Cabby there, looking at them with concern. "Oh, hey Cabby. Sorry I uh.. I just feel a little slow today." Bot explained, sounding a bit tired as they smiled up at Cabby.

Cabby smiled back. "It's alright, I can be slow at times as well.. Maybe its time for an update? Its been a few years since your last one." Cabby reminded. Bot took a few moments to process and then nodded. "Yeah.. I'll ask her.." Bot said, before the elevator stopped at the ground floor. Bot let Cabby wheel out first, before they stepped out.

The two went into the kitchen where almost everyone was, either waiting for breakfast to be made, or making their own since there's breakfast that's served at the hotel, but you can make your own if you wish. Bot looked around, seeing Trophy drinking his morning protein shake, while talking with Cheesy. Candelabra and (technically) Bots younger brother, Red, were at the table talking.

"Here you go, my dear.." Silver Spoon said in a soft tone with a smile as he walked over to the table and placed a plate down in front of Candelabra, which had toast with jelly on it, which she happily ate. Candle was also at the table eating her own meal. As Cabby rolled over to the table with the food that was served, Bot looked around for Test Tube in the room.

Test Tube was just over at the counter, preparing Red his own jelly toast since for some reason the kids loved it, but it was simple and easy to make so no one complained. Bot walked over, having to hold onto a chair for support. "Morning Mom..!" Bot said, trying to sound cheerful, but instead sounding very tired.

Test Tube turned around and saw Bot and smiled, before turning back to the toast and putting some more jelly on it. "Morning Bot! Sleep well?" Test Tube asked, finishing up and placing the plate of toast in front of Red, and then focusing back on Bot. "Yeah.. Just feeling a bit slow.." Bot tiredly spoke. Test Tube looked concerned. "Hm, oh dear.. It has been a while since your last update.."
