A/N: Heyo! Back so soon? Okay, I won't bug you... for now. See you at the end of the chapter. (Art credit goes to Unodu)

To Current Day

(Y/n)'s POV

You had a good nights rest. The new mattress felt much more comfortable than the old one that you had since you were six. You looked out to see little snow flurries outside. Decorating the trees outside your window. Ah, what a beautiful winter day. Rolling out of your warm bed you slugged over to your bathroom. The skylight was covered by heavy powder. You brushed your teeth and hair and went over to your closet.

The result of you standing in there for quite a long time was a white long sleeve, a red scarf, a black beanie, and a pair of light blue jeans with brown leather boots. You slipped over your head the quarter necklace like you did every day and went downstairs. The farther you went down the stairs, the stronger the smell of delicious food was.

"Good morning, Miss (L/n). How did you sleep?" Mariella inquired as she poured a cup of coffee into a thermal cup. As you watched the coffee pour, you began to see the image of a panda winking at you. God, I love that cup! You sat down at the small kitchen table and prepared yourself to eat. 

"What'd I say about that?" You perked your eyebrows at her.

"Right, I'm sorry (Y/n). It won't happen again. How'd you sleep?" Mariella corrected herself.

"It's okay, and I slept great! How about you? How did you sleep?" You pondered.

"I am fully charged. Though we have been living here for over a year, I am still trying to adapt to resting in a bed." She smiled.

"I'm sorry I forced that onto you. I sometimes forget that you aren't... you know... human." You awkwardly chuckled.

"(Y/n), I appreciate your generosity. Truly!" Mariella said genuinely as she placed a glass plate down in front of you to enjoy.

"Wait a second, I thought you aren't supposed to feel appreciation. You know cause you're just a machine and everything." You joked around.

"I only said that for the reason to make you feel better. I analyzed your body and saw that you were apprehensive about the topic of my bedroom. So I used the collected data to make you feel more at ease. Do remember that I am here to assist you in any way possible, (Y/n)." Mariella explained in a dead tone that made you forget all about the previous conversation.

"Right, anyways I have to get to work. Captian Fowler said he wanted to see Hank and me in his office first thing. Thank you for the breakfast, Mariella!" You called out as you hurried towards the door. You grabbed your light brown trench coat and zoomed out the door.

It was off to the races to fight the daily heavy traffic. Thoughts couldn't stop wondering your head as to what Fowler needed to talk about. As you were driving you happen to look over towards all the stores and restaurants. Ha, suckers. I already got my coffee... Oh god! I need to get Hank some! You swerve over into the next two lanes to get over to the Starbucks drive-thru. You had promised to get Hank some coffee today since last Friday you may or may not had lost a bet. The bet was whoever could drink the most beer in a minute. It was foolish of you to think that you could beat him.

You bought the coffee and hurried to the office. Once you got there you looked down at your phone to see you were five minutes late. Shit! I hope Hank didn't notice I wasn't here. I don't want to hear his crap today. You tried to sneak around one of the empty desks and rush to your seat. But in the process, you smacked face first into a stranger you had never seen before.
