The bell of Mizra Academy rang, signaling the end of school. People crowded the hallways of the academy. Volta and I walked out of the academy together to Rupert's taxi. I waved at him and opened the door for Volta. "I see you have met Volta Terra!" Rupert said. "Yes I have! She's helping me build my project." I said in a gentle tone. "Hoohooh! Well I'm glad you two are getting along with each other!" he said while smiling. Then we drove off to the manor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We arrived at my manor and got out of Rupert's taxi. "I'll see you around Rupert!" I said to him. "Bye! Nice seeing you again!" Volta Terra said. Rupert smiled at us and said, "You two have a nice time together!" The taxi door closed and he drove off.
Volta Terra looked up at the large house astonished. "Wow...the Malzaheimer manor is even larger in person..." "Yep, it's also easy to get lost in here so stick with me. And I don't think you'd want to meet my brother and sisters. Especially my parents." I warned her.
"Alright...I know how they are so, that's okay. Plus they'll probably think of me as a money maker or something from what I've heard. Is that really true, Kinetta?" she asked me. "A lot of the rumors are true, except they are exceptionally nice, I guess. I never had a friend over actually so I don't know how they would react..." I turned away quickly. "And that friend is a girl! Hahah...uh yeah." I muttered to myself.
"Hmm I see. Well I'll be sure to be extra cautious." she said. I opened the front door and entered the manor. A scanner came down from the ceiling and scanned Volta Terra and I. "Welcome home, Kinetta Malzaheimer. I believe you have brought home a guest." the house system said.
"Yes I have. Her name is Volta Terra. Add her to the guest list, but please do not notify the others about her..." I told the house system. "I will add her to the guest list and not tell the other Malzaheimers about her." "Thank you." The scanner went back up into the ceiling. We then went up stairs and into my room.
Volta and I entered my room. She examined the steampunk theme of my room and took in the scene. "Like my room?" I asked her. She nodded without saying a word. "I've never seen such a room like this before. It's very similar to mine! Hey...what's this?" she said looking at my steambot. "Oh it's my own custom steambot, Goliath VX-40A. That one is my main steambot that will be helping us along with the details of the ship." I responded.
Volta tapped it on the head and it powered on. "Initializing..." Goliath got up and spotted her. "Target acquired, combat mode engaged." it said with its eyes glowing red and pointing its arm cannon at Volta. I jumped over and tackled her to my bed when it fired. "Ah! Goliath, no! She's a friend! Don't attack her! And please fix the floor...there's a huge hole now!" I yelled. Goliath's eyes turned back to neutral. "My apologies, repairing floor." it said.
The side compartments opened up with tools coming out of it. The steambot then started to repair the floor. "Well sorry about that Volta...my steambot's a little over prote--oh my..." I realized that I was on top of her in an awkward position. She looked up at me embarrassed. "I-it's okay..." she said shyly. I quickly rolled off of her. "I'm so so so sorry! I didn't mean to go on top of you and gah! Agh what have I done?!" I shouted as I fall on my knees and my hands covering my face.
Volta Terra got up and laughed. "You're funny, you know that?" she said to me. "Oh uhm, y-yeah I guess I am...still, so sorry!" I said. I got up and opened up a book that had a dial pad on it. I punched in the code to open up the secret garage. "Access accepted. Welcome, Kinetta." The bookshelf then slid open. "Wow...that's pretty cool...did you make that yourself?" Volta said. "Yup! Like I said, I was born to be a mechanic, heheh!" I chuckled. We went into the geared elevator and went down into the garage.
