Robotic Romance

Chapter Two

"Looks like ya owe me one!" Smiled the woman in question. Law's eyebrows furrowed as he leaned down to her height since she was a foot shorter than him. He took a good look at her face, analyzing it for anything that could hint at who she was, or if she was simply just another citizen.

The lady took a step back, pushing his head away with her index finger, smile awkwardly and said, "What's your name? And why were they chasing you? Are you an android?! How old are you?! Why are you so tall?! How much do you eat?! Are you tall Becuase of how much you ate?! Did you get plastic surgery?! Are you a criminal?! What country are you from?! Are you rich?! Are you poor?! Maybe middle class?! Did you buy your own clothes?! Did someone else buy them?! If you're a human do you live with your parents?!" She went on and on, not letting Law speak. So much so that he had to yell loudly so that she could stop barraging him with so many questions at once.

Look here, whoever you are, stop asking so many damn questions! Haven't you ever thought I wanted to keep those details private?! Are you always this nosy?!"

The woman seemed taken aback, but then apologized and said, "My apologies! Well, maybe I start with myself! My name is.....uhhhh... well..."

"You don't have a name do you?" Said Law, who now seemed more confused than ever. Someone who doesn't have a name? Well, guess there's a first for everything.

She racked her brain as if she was trying to remember her name, if she had any. And it was like an idea popped into her head and she pulled up her sleeve, which looked like it had seen better days, reveling a mark on her arm that said MARCE-55.

"So you're an android then?" Asked Law, though it was a bit of a dumb question to ask. Marce nodded and replied, "It stands for Moving and Refined Cleaning with Efficiency! I've never had a name other than my brand name so Marce it was!" She laughed, although Law did not seem amused. He looked to the city, the sirens fading away in the distance. Marce broke the silence saying, "I wonder how androids so elite and so smart fell so something so stupid, ironic isn't it?"

"Yeah, I guess." Was Law's only reply. He turned to look at her, saying, "How long have you been on the run?"

Marce seemed to think about it, before smiling somberly and nostalgically and said, "70 years, it's been quite a ride!"

Law's eyes widened. This meant she was one of the first android ever made! And yet, the news always said that the ones left were most likely gone, decomposed or dismantled already. And yet here she was proving that the news was wrong. 55 must've meant she was the fifty fifth android made, and although it doesn't seem like much, there was several hundred millions, if not billions of androids out there, so it was a big deal.

"I can't believe it. You're telling me you're one of the first androids?"

"No lies there, mister! So now tell me your name! And I'm guessing you're an android as well?"

"You're correct, my name is Law, and I specialize in surgical procedures. Pleasure to meet you."

"Well you already know my name, and you'll see that I'm a really energetic person!" She grinned again but Law simply rolled his eyes, trying to seem unfazed by her positive attitude. He looked at her again, and compared to the other female androids, which were all unique and had different colored hair and eyes, she seemed pretty basic. He had once seen an android with gradient purple hair and sea blue eyes, and yet she only had light brown hair and amber eyes.

"You seem pretty basic." Bluntly stated Law, although Marce did not seems surprised by his comment.

Instead, she smiled softly and said, "Our creator loved beauty in simple things, hence my appearance! I've liked it, nothing too crazy, and that's how I always want it to be!"

Law nodded, he was also a bit tired of al the colors splashed on an android. He considered himself lucky that Marrisa never did anything too crazy to his hair or appearance.

But all of a sudden a quiet beep went off, and Marce looked around the alley to see if anyone was tracking them, since that was a common occurrence with androids that are on the run. But Law told her to calm down, but she went on her tip toes and leaned in further to his face, suspicious.

"How do I know that you're not a android spy sent in to look for any androids on the run? A beep went off and you're telling me to calm down! Seems suspicious doesn't it?"

Now Law was irritated, and he shoved her face bac using his whole hand. She took a step back, but tripped and fell. Angry, she got back up and yelled, "What the heck was that for?!"

"You were up in my face!!" Replied Law.

"So were you before!! And I pushed your face back with one finger! You shoved me back with your entire hand!"

Law fell silent. He did do that, and now he avoided eye contact with her before saying, "That beep just means I need to charge."

"You could've just said that first-"

"No I couldn't because you were talking too much!!"

"Fair point!" Said Marce. She laughed a little and smiled, forgetting about her anger, which both amazed and confused Law.

"C'mon! Let's go!" Yelled Marce as she dragged Law grabbing her wrist, and dragging him to who knows where. Law reluctantly went along, because he needed to charge and if he didn't he'd turn off, and be vulnerable to anyone who was hunting him down.

But he soon got a bad feeling when they started going farther from the main city, and into the smaller parts of the city, where there was many crimes that the police and even the androids couldn't keep up with. And it's not like the mayor would waste time sending elite androids here when they're 'needed more in the main part of the city.'

Soon, she turned and went into a dark alley, maybe a bit too dark for Law's taste. She stopped in her tracks, looking at a wall, smiling and said, "This is the place!!"

"But there's a wall in front of here."

That's the fun part!" Said Marce as she walked through the wall
