"And now introducing M-Tech's latest intervention...the Robo-Diva!" The TV commercial said as a box with a doll in it appeared on the screen.
"Ooooh! Spencer! I need one of those!!" My sister, Lucy, said excitedly. "She's like Barbie, but bigger and...tech-y"
"Yeah good luck begging mom and dad to get you one of those rust-buckets" I groaned at my sister's request. "The thing costs a lot of money. I don't think any of us could afford one."
"Fine." Lucy groaned. "But...it's like a best friend who's...a robot who loves fashion!"
I sighed and rolled my eyes, getting on my phone. Only to see a message from my friends, Luke and Avery.
Group chat:
———————
Avery: Hey, Spence! Have you seen the ads for Robo-Diva?!
Spencer: Yeah, Lucy really wants one.
Luke: I don't blame her. She's smokin'.
Spencer: Luke, I wouldn't be surprised if you bought one.
Luke: I have the money.
I shut off my phone before Luke could say anything else. Sure he was my best friend, but he was a bit weird. I was then left there with my thoughts, suddenly going upstairs and booting up my computer.

"Let's see, it's called the Robo-Diva...how much for one?" I thought, typing. I looked through a few websites and found one already on sale on Ebuy.
I began reading the description and began getting unsettled. It read, "I DONT CARE HOW MUCH MONEY YOU PAY JUST TAKE HER. SHE'S TERRIFYING." While I was still unsettled, I was quite intrigued. I got out my phone once again.
Avery & Spencer's Messages
———————————————
Spencer: Hey, man. Do you happen to know if ghosts possess robots?
Avery: No? I've never heard of a robot getting possessed by a ghost...maybe a doll, but never robot. Why, do you have some secret robot I don't know about?
Spencer: No, I'm gonna buy a Robo-Diva off of Ebuy. The description says she's terrifying.
Avery: Maybe it just malfunctioned. I can take a look at it whenever it gets to your house, I can bring my tools, and in case it's actually a ghost, my EVP.
Spencer: Alright, cool. Thanks.
I clicked on the button to buy it and waited for it to arrive. I suddenly began feeling uneasy, but I just brushed it off.
