        GIR was really intent on showing me his house. It was all he really talked about on the way back to the bus as well as for the entire hour bus ride back. He also did repeat how much he enjoyed the chicken and waffles a couple of times as well and occasionally got distracted by things he saw, but the majority of what he talked about was his house and how much I would like it. Everyone on the bus looked as if they wanted to tear their ears off every time GIR opened his mouth to say more. I did not understand why though, I for one found his rambling quite adorable and entertaining.

"We got a TV and lots of waffles! Ooh my master's gonna love you!" GIR screamed with excitement causing a passenger to bang his head on the seat in front of him and groan. I wondered who his master could be when he said that. He was definitely a robot, so someone had to have made him. Could he be Dib's robot? He definitely seemed smart enough to know how to engineer one. But there was something about GIR that made him stand out a little more than a regular robot, his emotions. There were definitely robots on Earth, but none that I know about that are this emotionally advanced. GIR did walk out of that odd looking house earlier, was there a chance he was manufactured somewhere else in the galaxy? If he was, I did not recognize the way he was built, perhaps because of the dog suit he was wearing.

"Hey GIR, who is your master?" I question as he halts his rambling to process what I had just said for a moment. "It's a surprise!" GIR laughed before he continued on what he was previously talking about. I guess I will just have to wait and find out for myself until the time comes. Trying to get comfortable on the rock solid seat, I nuzzled myself into the corner only for my body to feel worse. I change my mind, maybe it was worth it to risk getting murdered by your driver to get to sit in a much softer seat. Almost worth it, but there was no way that I would let myself get killed that way. Luckily, we were almost at the bus stop that was in the neighborhood so just a few more minutes. Immediately as the bus came to a stop at our neighborhood, I stood up and quickly hopped off the bus with GIR.

GIR grabs my hand and starts running down the street all while laughing happily. I was also pretty excited, now I get to check out the different house and even get to go inside of it. As we got closer, I could see more of the house's unique traits. It seemed as if it had pipes of some sort stretching out of it that extended into the walls of the houses it was in between. On the purple roof there was a very large satellite dish and there seemed to be an odd crack that stemmed from the top of the roof down to a squarish window near the upper part of the house. There also seemed to be several large gnomes scattered in the yard, something about them seemed a bit off though. Right above the fence there was also a sign that said 'I love Earth' in all caps. This was definitely the most interesting looking house I have seen since coming here and probably the coolest, hopefully its interior is just as uniquely decorated as the outside.

As we walked into the yard, I could feel the eyes of the gnomes staring at me. It seemed as if they were scanning over me to see if I was a threat or simply to see what the unknown presence that had infiltrated their lawn, however I sensed no hostility nor was there a dangerous vibe in the air so I did my best to ignore their glances. I looked straight ahead to avoid making eye contact with the gnomes as GIR pulled me along. That was when I noticed something very peculiar about the front door. It had one of those symbols like the ones that are outside the bathrooms like the ones at the mall. This was either the largest outhouse I have seen on Earth or the most entertaining house I have ever seen. Make that second most entertaining actually, I just remembered that I already had two other houses somewhere else in the galaxy that tied for first.

Stopping at the door, I wait for GIR to open it up so that we could go inside. Instead he simply stares at me with a smile and glances at the doorbell. "Oh you want me to ring it?" I ask as GIR's smile intensifies. "Maybe," he draws on with a hint of playfulness in his voice. I reach for the doorbell with anticipation and slowly press it as GIR watched intently. A short moment of silence passed after I heard the sound of the doorbell. Then there was a bit of scuffling that came from behind the door. Bracing myself for what was to come, the door swung open to reveal a pair of human looking robots. Before I knew it, they threw huge handfuls of confetti in the air and with their very loud voices spoke words that left me a little surprised at the least.
