From Murder Drones to Lover Drones

Heartbeat

It was a dark and stormy night. Insects were chirping and thunder was rumbling outside. "We've got to curb her trips to the dump." Thunder flashed again, lighting the room. N was dressed in a butler suit, holding a tray of wine glasses and cups. He blinked, staring innocently at the tall man in front of him. It was Tessa's father, and he was holding a wine glass, and was wearing a top hat and monocle. "And where is she getting the hair to play dress up with them?" He asked, throwing the glass up into the air. "Creepy..." N caught the glass on his tray, making the other dishes wobble. He flipped the tray, the glasses going up in the air, and they fell in a perfect stack. N bowed slightly and left.

Unbeknownst to him, two worried blue eyes were peeking at him from behind the wall. Her screen-brows furrowed nervously. She sucked him a breath and sighed, adjusting her glasses. "I hope he's okay..." She muttered. "What are you doing, Y/N?!" V asked from behind her. Y/N squeaked and flinched, flipping her head around with her hair hitting her face.

"N-nothing! Come on, Tessa must be looking for us." She stuttered and nervously got up, walking away from V. "Yeah, you're gonna need a better excuse to fool me. Spill." V spat, and sat down, gesturing for Y/N to sit too. "What do you mean?" "I mean, admit it. You like N, don't you?" V smirked and hit her shoulder. "Wh-What?! Who told you that?!" Y/N blushed, her visor all covered in little blush lines, with her eyes wide and hollowed. 

"You're pretty obvious..." 

"Okay, but just don't tell anyone! Especially N!" 

"Who's stopping me?" 

"You wouldn't..." 

She trailed off, eyes wide and hollowed. Would V really go off, telling everyone who her crush was? Yeah, she probably would. "V, I swear if you tell a soul, JC Jenson won't have to worry about you rebelling on them~" Y/N threatened. There was an X on her screen, and she had a sadistic and wide smile on her face allowing her canines to show.

"I-" V's eyes widened and she felt a shiver. Y/N was always so sweet, but she had a sadistic and creepy side to her if you played with her. "So anyway, I'll be going now~" Y/N smiled and left, adjusting her glasses again. She turned a corner, and bumped into N. "Oh! I'm so s-sorry-" "It's okay, I-I wasn't looking..." They both reached to pick up one of the glasses that N dropped, and their hands touched, a shock being shared between them. Y/N blushed and gasped, snapping her head up to look at N, with him doing the same. N rubbed his head shyly, and was about to say something, but J kicked his head down, causing him to grunt. "J!" Y/N exclaimed, helping N up.

"Move it moro-" J stopped herself when she noticed Tessa in the doorway. "-Oh, hi Tessa!!" She said in a sickeningly sweet voice. But her tone immediately changed when she saw the little figure that was hiding behind Tessa's back. "Oh no- Another one?" She spat in annoyance. Y/N tilted her head. "Wha..?" She trailed off, realizing what J was so upset about. The figure revealed herself from behind Tessa's back. She slowly walked out, revealing a short drone, unsteadily walking and creepily smiling. N and Y/N gasped.

Y/N shot awake, breathing heavily. She fell to the ground in a panic. "Huh?" "Mornin', N/N!" N smiled brightly at your tired form. "Mhm..." She yawned and held her head. "N! Y/N! I found something here!" Uzi's muffled voice called. The duo got up and walked toward the pod. Y/N tended to be a bit grumpy after waking up from her sleep. She groggily walked into the pod. V was blowing bubbles, and Uzi was staring at a mirror she broke. "That's weird and concerning." V said in a teasing voice, leaning on the chair she was sitting on. "Bite me! This is probably your weirdos' fault." Uzi retorted. 

"I've never seen that symbol before. Wanna do an autopsy to find out?" The N walked in. "What'd you find?" Uzi told them that N was wearing a pilot's hat and that the humans had erased their memories. Then V was being creepy to Y/N, telling her that she wasn't a real murder drone. N protectively pushed her away from V and closer to him. Y/N groaned when N started talking about who J was getting orders from. "Stop making this more confusing..." She leaned back against N and closed her eyes. N blushed and tensed, then patted her hair. She smiled and purred slightly, melting into his touch.

~~TIME SKIP~~

"Ugh, I'm sweaty! Who programmed that?!" "You good Uzi?" "I'm good, I'm better than good. I am god!!" Uzi yelled. Y/N was off to the side singing softly to herself, and it was making N get distracted. Thad was staring at Uzi, confused. She nervously giggled. "Hi, hi... Thad..." "Aw! Cute!" Y/N sang with her hand on her cheek, staring at Uzi and Thad. Uzi growled at her and turned back to Thad. "Uh- Thank you!" She took her rail gun from him. "Of course, Zi! N and Ms, N/N." He chuckled. "You saved my life! I-I don't think the colony is even serious about all this banishment stuff! More just confused, especially with-" "The fact that I'm too rouge to re-enter society? I can never return." Uzi dramatically stated. "The recent disappearances? A-and your murder friend's corpse? When I went to grab your gun, it kinda looked like it... crawled away?" "Maybe we can return a little..." 

~TIME SKIP AGAIN BC I'M TOO LAZY TO WRITE A LOT AND I REALLY WANNA PUBLISH THIS SOON BC I HAVE TO STUDY FOR A BIG TEST TMRW~

Everyone's eyes were wide and hollowed, staring at the hand in front of them. Y/N shivered. "Creepy..." She muttered into N's hand, that was covering her mouth. The hand crawled closer to them. It sped over and grabbed Thad's leg. Y/N gasped and flinched. Uzi's flashlight followed the wire that it was connected to, leading into the dark. 

Both girls gave N a thumbs up to shoot the rocket launcher that he was holding, so he fired. It exploded, lighting up the area, revealing spiky vine-like pipes, moving around. Uzi, N, and Y/N all covered their mouths. 

N wrapped his tail around Y/N protectively, making her do the same. After a moment of dead silence, the hand holding Thad's leg pulled him away, him hollering in panic. Y/N threw a ninja star skillfully, cutting the wire. Uzi huffed. "I wanna frickin' ninja star!" Y/N giggled and gave Uzi 5 ninja stars, making her cheer. 

The three of them were thrown against a wall, Y/N falling on top of N. Thad was grabbed and taken away by... something... "You good?" N asked Uzi. She groaned. "Ugh, stop asking! Chainsaw hand time?" Y/N helped N get up. "Yeah, cool-cool-cool." 

They ran into the next room, weapons in hand. After saving Thad and getting invited to his shindig, the trio began to confront this monster that nearly murdered Thad. 

"We're busy then anyway. So, whatever. So lame." The solver snarled. Uzi saw her mother, and Y/N saw her big sister, which freaked them out. After some fighting, N landed next to Uzi, asking for the gun, but it turned out to be a hologram. Then the real N came and saved them, but by then, their belief and trust had already faltered slightly by then. "Wh-what... are you things..?" Those words rang in their heads like a gong. Y/N was hurt the most. And she stopped talking to N. She was sitting in a cave, singing a song to herself sadly. 

N was sulking in the pod, furious at himself for making Y/N upset like that. This was the first time that she stopped talking to him, and he hated it. He couldn't stand it. It was the first time he really felt... 

...alone.
