Not What It Seems To Be

I'm losing it. There was no way the car was talking, it just...was not possible. But there really was no one else. "Are you...talking?" I asked pointing directly at the screen. "Course I am, who else would be," the voice replied. "And we should really get going." Before I could do anything, the car lurched forward and drove off the track......On. Its. Own.

This is getting really weird. "What are you?" I stammered. Its not easy to remain calm when something this weird is going on. "I am a magical being that have been sent from heaven to help you," the voice replied sarcastically, "I'm obviously an AI. Do you know what that means or must I teach you child," the voice continued as we pulled into a parking space. This guy is really getting on my nerves. 

"Look, I'm just a kid who just found out that his birthday gift was a sarcastic robot....", "AI" It interrupted. "Whatever so at least let me get use to this." I huffed and open the door. "See told you it wasn't that bad." Redric said as he dropped out of the sky. "You A-hole, I told you I didn't want to take part and what do you do, force me into it!" I shouted at him. "Hey at least you are $1000 richer," the AI called from behind me.

"What The Hell!" Redric shouted, looking around the cabin. "Get in the car." I said before my brother went all crazy. Thankfully he obeyed. "Alright whos talking," he demanded as the door closed behind him. "Me," the AI chirped, "And do you need more proof?" it added as the words 'Its Me' popped up on the LED screen. Redric jaw dropped as he stared at the screen, which was a rather awkward sight. "Uh do you have a name?" I asked the AI to break the silence. "Nope, wasn't given one, probably too much of a hassle." It replied. Damn, I am not going to keep calling it AI, just sounds too weird. "Lets give you one." I spoke," You're a Dodge so how about Doge." "Ha ha very funny, but no" it spoke in a irritated tone. "How bout Charger?" Redric finally aroused from his shock. "Hmm might work, Charger it is for now." It chirped back.

"Dads so going to freak when he finds out." Redric groaned. I wasn't surprised, Dad would probably scream his lungs out the moment Charger said hi. "Perhaps we should keep it a secret?" I said. "Yeah so your father can find out later and make an even larger fuss." Charger replied. Sigh, another A-hole in the family. Before I could rebut Charger, a tap on the window distracted me. It was that lunatic truck driver. "What do you want?" I said as the window went down (on its own). He smiled and said "Name is Steven Walter and I was wondering if you like my team to sponsor you in the AIR."
