It was a collective decision.
They all would've rather it be them, but..
They all agreed.
Willow thought they would've chosen someone else.
They thought...
They shouldn't assume.
After getting permission, they went inside and hugged all the other bots goodbye.
"I'm so sorry." She whispered again and again, to each robot.
This would be the last time they saw them, before they were deactivated.
She couldn't stop them from getting deactivated.
If only she tried harder..
No.
She tried the best she could.
There was nothing more she could do.
The last one they hugged was Walkie.
Walkie blubbered and shook as they hugged them. It made her feel even more guilty.
"I'm so sorry, Walkie.."
I'm so sorry I couldn't save you.
"Y... You were... You ARE.. My best friend." She said, trembling with sadness.
"I'll.. I'll NEVER forget you, Walkie. For as long as I function." She said, giving one last squeeze.
She gave one last look over the group of robots. Robots that had become friends to her.
No.
More than friends.
Family.
They became Willow's family.
And they were getting taken from her.
"Goodbye, guys.. I.." Her voice cracked. "I'll miss you.."
As a group they said goodbye to the distraught, aching human-turned-robot.
"Goodbye, Wyn."
Wyn, her stage name. Who they knew Willow as.
She left the cell, oil trailing down her metal cheeks.
The police had called a taxi, and given her enough money to drive to the next town over. An hour away, through the forest.
Two Surenderen led the bot behind Willow, finally uncuffing them once Willow got to the front lobby.
Willow opened the backdoor of the cab, and turned to the other robot.
"C'mon, Lucy, it's time we get going."
The robot lion jumped into the cab.
Willow climbed in after, and shut the door.
A block or two away from the police department, she noticed that...
That wasnt a taxi driver.
That was a cop wearing a taxi driver uniform.
This...
This was a trap!
They were never going to let her have Lucy, were they?
This was all just some... big... LIE!
How DARE they!
What do they do?
They can't lose Lucy, too!
They promised the other that they'd take care of Lucy!
Lucy was their responsibility now.
Then they noticed that they were being followed.
A white van was following them.
Wait.
They recognized that lady, that robot sitting up in the front.
They were the ones who took Hocus and Yesman away. Who SAVED them!
She looked at the woman driving, and mouthed, 'Help'.
The woman nodded grimly and winked at her.
'Already on it.' She mouthed.
