Temperance Watterson was an outcast. More interested in science documentaries than Disney movies, and felt more comfortable in a lab coat than a designer shirt and matching jeans. So when her genius scientist parents up and moved them to Japan, and enrolled her in the most prestigious school for gifted and intelligent kids form around the world, she decided that she wasn't going to go through the next 4 years of her life alone. So, she decides to build herself a friend, despite the law saying that it was forbidden. Being a genius, she is able to do just that, but she ends up doing too good of a job on her new best friend... *Hi! OK, so this is a short story that I wrote for an assignment in the 8th grade, and I still consider it one of my best works, even now. It's sent in the distant future, and the other characters mentioned (the three girls you meet later) were born from american families IN Japan, so even though they aren't completely Asian or Japanese, they grew up in the culture, so they consider themselves one. Just wanted to clarify that. Hope you enjoy! Oh, and the characters and the names of them were not my creation, they were my friends. The description of Temperance and Ali were her idea as well, but everything else in the story was my own creation from my imagination. Hope you enjoy!*All Rights Reserved
