"Nelson, I have a surprise for you!" Jaiden yelled from the front door of the apartment.

Nelson got up from his purple bean bag.

"This better be good," Nelson said, "because you just interrupted my third evening nap!"

Jaiden walked to the doorway where Nelson was at. He was standing strangely like he was hiding something behind him.

"Well?" Nelson said impatiently.

Jaiden moved out of the way to reveal an identical robot to Jaiden.

"Ta-da!" Jaiden said, doing jazz hands.

"What the scallop is that?" Nelson asked.

"It's the robot version of me! It does all the things I do, and more!" Jaiden announced.

"Hmm..... coolio..... how'd you get it?"

"Let's just say.... someone owed me a favour...."

"Have you tested it out yet?" Nelson asked.

"I tested to see if it worked, but that's it."

"Well, what are you waiting for? Boot it up!"

Jaiden reached for his back.

*click!*

*zzzzzzzzzt!*

"Hello, Nelson Meem. I'm Jaiden 2.0," the robot announced.

"2.0, Eh? What makes you better?" Nelson asked.

The robot deplayed a button out on its arm.

*boop!*

Its mouth opened up and shot something at Nelson.

*plop*

Nelson looked at his hand. It was bread!

"Jaiden, you can move out now," Nelson announced.

"Haha," Jaiden laughed sarcastically.

He noticed Nelson didn't laugh too.......was he actually serious?

"Seriously, bro?" Jaiden asked in a concerned tone.

Nelson, still looking at the fresh bread, answered,

"Yeah, get out, man. I don't need you anymore."

Jaiden suddenly got super angry.

"I can easily throw him away!" Jaiden warned.

That made Nelson take his attention away from the bread.

"Okay, Okay, Okay— you can stay."

"It's not like you had a choice. It's my house," Jaiden mumbled.

"Hey better Jaiden, can you answer questions like Alexa and Siri can?" Nelson asked.

"Sure can, Nelp," Jaiden 2.0 answered.

"Hey! That's my pet name!" Jaiden yelled.

"Pet? I'm not property, I'm a roommate," Nelson explained.

"That's right, lesser Jaiden. He's a roommate, not property," Jaiden 2.0 agreed.

"What?! I'm done...."

Jaiden walked into his room.

"Party pooper....." Nelson mumbled.

"Would you like some Bepis?" Jaiden 2.0 asked.

"Bepis?... is it organic Bepis?" Nelson asked.

"Yes, sir."

"Alright, throw me a can."
