A cyber difference

 I stand there and fiddle with my fingers a little, staring at everything around her, trying not to make her feel uncomfortable with me staring into her eyes. I then get an idea as I ask, "Who.. are you?" She places her hand on her chest as she replies, "I am Z-3007." I reply trying to copy what she just said, "Z...Z..Z?" She nods no as she repeats, "Z-3007." I try again, "Z-307?" She giggles for a second and says, "Z-3007! Z-3007!" I scratch my head and look at her, she just sighs and tells me, "Z is fine." I then say out loud, "Z? Z. Z!" She just giggles again and  takes a look around, making me feel embarrassed as I rush over to a shelf with my most prized possessions, "Z!" I shout in excitement as she walks over to me and looks at the things I had on there. I hold up a white plastic thing with three spikes on the wider end, she scans it and says, "Fork. Utensil used to eat food by hand." I look at it in awe as I put it back down and grab a yellow sponge thing with white cream spilling out of the three holes on bottom, it was in the wrapper still as I hold it up for her to scan. "Twinkie, junk food made to last long periods of time and contains plenty of sugar." I look at it and peel open the wrapper as she says with a worried tone, "That can fry your internals 837, plus cyborgs have no reason to eat food." I shrug and shove the whole thing in my mouth, I chew it and swallow, waiting for my wires to fry and all that horrific stuff, but nothing happened as she asks, "But why and how?" I reply, "Yummy!" She blinks a few times as we  both look at the floor, I then offer her my last Twinkie as she pushes my hand away and says, "I have a mission. And that is not a requirement." I ask her, "What's your mission Z?" She looks me in the eye and replies, "Classified." I look down at her feet and feel ashamed that I asked such a personal thing. But then I remembered something and looked up at her with a smile, "Z! Look!" I then rush over to the tv as I play the movie scene that I always watched. She didn't seem to care much about the dancing, but when the singing came, I held both of my hands together and looked over at her hand humming with the song, "And that is all.. that loves about! And we'll recall.. when time runs out! That it only... took, a moment.. to be loved.. a whole.. life.. long!" I shed a tear as Z looks over at me and asks, "What is that liquid?" I shrug and reply, "I cry tears." She scans it and squints at me, asking, "How is 837 able to do this?" I shrug and look over at her, she was watching the movie. I then reach for her hand, but pull back in fear of her rejecting me. Then I hear my alarm beep, meaning that it was safe to leave as she scans me one last time before heading out.
