I Miss Your Smile

..... Or Not...

" Let's go take a look at the robotics store! " Solar said excitedly.

" Solar, almost every store here is about robotics, " Leaf said to him.

The brothers and Hali walked along the paths of Rintis. There was alot of people walking about for a Sunday.

" Why is it so crowded? It's a Sunday! " Cyclone complained.

" It's most likely because that many families are on outings to spend together, " Hali said.

" And that's what we're doing as well, " Quake said. He looked at his smartwatch. " It's almost 11. Let's get brunch. "

They went to a small but highly requested cafe. Leaf had to drag Solar along with them.

They had the normal bacon and eggs, and six hot chocolate. Cyclone almost handed Hali one of his bacon, not realizing he was giving food to an Android.

Leaf almost done it too. So did Solar. By this, Hali was puzzled. His LED was yellow.

" Why do you keep asking me even if I am not a human? " he asked.

" Well, it's kinda hard, y'know. We sometimes forget that there is an Android that looks like a human right next to us, " Cyclone said.

" Cyclone's right. We keep thinking you are a human despite the way you do things! " Leaf said.

" Yes. And the LED isn't really distracting us either, " Solar said.

Hali still raised an eyebrow. He kept quiet until it was time to go.

.............

Solar bought another notepad from the devices store. Leaf bought another set of roses for the apartment. And Cyclone bought more candy.

" Hey, Ice! Look! A gaming store! Let's go check out some VR games! " Blaze said, pointing to a store with a giant play button on it.

" Cool! Wait for me, Blaze! " his twin said, running after him.

" Ah! Blaze! Ice! Wait for us! Ugh... " Quake said. He sighed and groaned then went after them. Leaf and Solar followed him.

" Twins always get caught up in games. Hm.. Wonder if the Heroes of Elements game is out in VR, " Cyclone said to himself as he threw a candy in his mouth.

He himself made his way to the gaming store. Hali was going to follow him... But something stopped him.

It was a deviant detector that Hali has recently installed in his own systems. He looked around the place to see where the signal was strongest.

It was pointing towards the docks. Hali made his way there, leaving Cyclone walking alone.

Hali walked a good distance before he made it to his destination. He wasn't tired though, after all, Androids don't feel fatigue.

It suddenly became very quiet, it was unsettling. Hali continued his investigation.

There was nothing but the ocean leading to nowhere. There were also a few giant crates on the shore.
