N was beyond happy.

V would be fixed

Everything would go back as it was.

Cyn would work on V at night, not trying to cause any disruption to the humans, though something felt off.

Yes, N was excited V would be back to normal, though he couldn't place the sense of suspension that something would go as planned.

N would still read to V everyday, this time with more joy however.

The day the V and supposedly N were supposed to be thrown out was also the same day 'The Gala' was happening.

Tessa's family and friends would come over to talk about the company her parents owned 'JcJenson'

Tessa found it rather boring. She could never find a way to talk to people since she was classified as a weird kid. Generally, you could say she had no friends.

-Besides the drones of course.

-TWO DAYS TIL THE GALA-

N was reading in the library, V standing among him as he read about a special bread. It was his favorite, V's being a goldendoodle.

"Val look! Look at this one! Awww they're so cute," He spoke in a motherese voice, adoring the dogs as he looked back at the page.

He blushed at how cute they were. Their small, smiling, golden faces.

"Okay... golden retrievers were supposedly made for protecting people, though eventually became one of humans most loveable dogs," N screeched in excitement. "This breed keeps getting better and better V!!!"

N paused.

'Did I just call her V?' He thought.

He stared into her flashing visor with guilty eyes. He had gotten used to V being called- well- V by Cyn, though he never had called her that except for when they had first met.

As he was looking at her, he noticed she had a small cobweb between her fingers.

Maybe he could make it up to her by removing the spider's nest.

He stood up off the ground as held her hand in front of her, plucking out the small webs between her fingers.

"I'm so sorry Valerie, I promise I meant nothing by it..." He looked at her with sad eyes, V not saying much back.

"I hope you can hear me though.." He mumbled.

Something else caught his eye however. Something fleshy and odd.

Something was growing out of the floorboards behind V. He knew there was a basement in the library, though he had never been in it.

Cyn on the other hand was sent there daily for timeouts. It was also where she was fixing V and a few other drones who had an error.

V was standing slightly on top of it, so he didn't go into the basement, though he was curious.

Maybe this was that nagging feeling.

The feeling that things aren't going to get better.

But he trusted Cyn.

Did he?

Did he trust Cyn with the love of his life?

He was later called for a task by the humans, him having to leave V again.

"Well, I have to go Valerie... I'm sorry for calling you V- I didn't mean to..." He said awkwardly.

"I love you,"

As he walked out of the library he ran into J. She had a big plate with a few glasses and cups on it.

"Hello N," J said, busier than ever with washing the dishes she had set down.

N sighed, "hi jade..."

"How's your girlfriend?" She asked, N flinching by the question.

"how's yours?" He asked, smirking.

"WHA- HOW DID YOU-" J stuttered, turning around at him immediately.

N gestured for her to continue explaining, but she was already blushing with embarrassment.

"i-its fine... I guess..." J muttered. "it's none of your business though..."

"Well if you know about my relationships I wanna know about yours. I promise I'm not telling any humans about you two," N reassured her.

"Well... Tessa and I have only ever shared a kiss but- I don't know her parents are obviously going to disapprove of us..." J spoke, a tint of sadness in her voice.

"Her favorite is still you though," She laughed, nudging him to the side playfully with her elbow.

N laughed, helping her wash the dishes. The foamy soap bubbles floated around them delicately, N popping a few and J looking at him like a mom would at her ridiculous child.

"You know... it's 3068, if her parents don't approve of you and Tessa, you know that her parents suck. Parents are supposed to love you unconditionally and if her parents aren't going to do that, well..." N trailed off, not able to finish the sentence with repeating himself.

"But I know Val and I will support you no matter what, okay?" N reassured her.

When he looked back at her, there were tears in her eyes.

"Jade?-" He was cut off by her hugging him tightly. N soon hugged back, matching her grasp.

When she pulled back she sniffed.

"I haven't been super appreciative of you... Nate," J said, making a smile appear on N's face.

"Thank you," She spoke before walking off, the dishes now being done.
