RING. RING. RING. 

I picked up my phone and accepted the call. Not even bothering to check who was calling. 

"Hello? Who's this?" I asked the person at the other end. 

"Ah! Aiden! This is your good ol bot purchaser, Meinard!" Meinard said. 

"Ah, Sir Meinard! Why'd you call?" I asked. 

"I was just wondering if there are any bots to be sold at this moment?" He asked. 

"Yeah. I built 4. They're ready to go." I said. 

"Oh! Good! Same price?" He asked.

"100,000 dollars per piece, yup!" I said. 

"Good! I'll give you a check once I arrive at your house." He said. 

"Sure. I'll get them ready." I said. 

"Oh. And, One thing." He said. 

"What is it Sir Meinard?" I asked. 

"Can you build something that could enhance body parts?" He asked.

"Hmm, I'll try." I said. 

"Okay! Don't worry. They'll have a greater price. Okay, I have to go. Bye." He said. 

"Kay, Bye." I said. Ending the call. 

I placed my phone on a table and brought my attention back at Auntie J.

"Sorry. It was a customer." I said.

"Customer?" She asked. 

"Oh. The one who buys these robonoids." I said as I pointed at one.  "I heard that one of these costs a fortune?" She said. 

"100,000 dollars to be exact." I said.

"Wow. I guess you don't need my help at financial stuff." She said. 

"Yeah. I build these things for my needs. If I ever need money, I'll just build one of these and call a customer. They'll buy them quick." I said. 

"Well. I gotta go. My family's probably looking for me. Bye." She said. Standing up then kissing my forhead and headed for the door. 

"Okay. Bye Auntie J!" I said. Waving at her. 

"Bye dear." She said. Then drove off. 

I closed the door and sat at the couch.  Playing a few games while waiting for Sir Meinard. 

I played for hours and he still wasn't here. 

So I cleaned up my gaming set and held my phone. 

"Hey Hailey?" I texted. 

"You busy tomorrow?" I texted. 

"I just thought if we could hang out after school..." I texted. 

I was about to send another text when there was a knock on the door.  Probably Sir Meinard. 

I hurriedly took 4 robonoids with me and opened the door. 

Just as I expected. Sir Meinard was there. 

"Aiden! I see that you have your robonoids with you." He said. 

I let him take all four. 

"Here's your payment." He said. 

He handed me a check. 

"Oh geez. Thanks!" I said. 

He nodded and was about to leave when I noticed something. 

"Umm. Sir Meinard?" I said. 

He turned his head to look at me. 

"Yes?" He said. 

"Why does the check say 500,000? I only gave you 4 bots." I asked. 

"It's extra. I've been buying bots from you for years now. Just thought I should give you a little more than just my payment." He said, smiling. 

"Thanks! But you really shouldn't have." I said. 

"I insist." He said. Placing the robonoids in his Ferrari F40 LM.

"Well. Okay. Thanks again!" I said, waving. 

"No problem Aiden!" He said. Driving off. 

I went back inside and ran to my bedroom. 

I plopped down my bed and fell asleep.
