Shelby
Shelby sat in her bedroom, contemplating every thing that has happened to her in the past few days, her mothers lying then mysterious thing that happened at Belle's house and then her mother described something happening like that except she claims it was Shelby who walked in the vanished. Shelby obviously believed her mother because of the Todd thing. Shelby started to get a head ache from thinking about it and decided to re-read one of her favourite books, Funhouse, by Diane Hoh. Shelby loved horror stories just as much as she was obsessed in AI. But she could also be typical girly girl sometimes. Shelby read a few pages, the chapters, as she got lost into the short novella. As Shelby started yawning she decided to read up to the end of the chapter before putting the book down and switching her bed side lamp off.
Shelby had a small box bedroom which she found quite cosy. Sure she would dream of a more spacious bedroom, but then she felt guilty when ever it crossed her mind because of her mothers financial status. Shelby's bedroom is painted an electric blue colour and she has purple curtains with black flowers on. She has really good lighting which Belle takes advantages of for selfie purposes and Shelby likes it for reading purposes.
Shelby couldn't sleep as all she could think about is the events that took place today as well as when she will meet her father. She eventually turned the lamp back on and got out her thoughts journal so she could write her hopes an fears about meeting her father as well writing down questions about him so she can answer them after she meets him.
She ends up writing pages and pages worth of thoughts about her father. She stops writing eventually and puts her dark sparkly blue gel pen on her bed side table as she skims through her words. Shelby yawns once again and this time she drifts away into a deep slumber straight away.

The alarm goes off the next morning and Shelby hits snooze and with her still shut. The alarm goes off again 15 minutes later and this time she starts opening her eyes. She switches the alarm off to stop the horrible ringing noises as she yawns. As she starts to position her self up right she hears a strange noise from down stairs. It sounded like a radio that need to be tuned. The sound of static. She ignored it though, assuming it was nothing to worry about and then she remembered yesterdays events. Now she decided it was something to worry about.
She tip toed down the stares to find out where the noise was coming from and she saw her mother standing there. Except, her mother wasn't moving at all. She was still. And she was making the static sounds.
"Another one?" Shelby thought aloud in whispers. Then she decided to talk to this lookalike mother. "What are you? Why are there weird things going on.... with Todd, Then my mother claiming that I was in the apartment, now you? Why do you look like my mother. Why are you here. What do you want from me-" Questions were rolling off Shelby's tongue like marbles on sloped surface, when she was cut off.
"- I am Lori, I am a mechanic Lori. And I am here to save you from the dangers that lie ahead." The pretend mother said. "My creator brought me her to 2015 to save you because he ruined your life as well as making our era worse than it already was. My creator sent me to your time to stop his younger self from making the mistake he made. Your biggest rival turned into your biggest hero."
Shelby was so confused and for a moment she was speechless but soon found more questions to shoot at the... mechanical mother. "You're... an... AI?... And you came back from another time? What time? Wait... you still didn't explain the why you look like my mum... uh does this mean the Todd me saw yesterday was one of you? An AI? And why my mum... my human mum... claimed i came home when I hadn't?" She was rambling on. "Why does your creator ruin my life in the first place?"
