K5-X2 | 10 | Genderless Protocol Droid | ARcoone 5
When I place the platters of food down, I hear a shy "hello". I blink, looking around to see who it is. I spot Kai Lhan, looking very bored. "Hello," I reply. "What's up?" The words taste funny in my mouth, although I cannot taste. How ironic. Shaking my head, I apologise, my plates forming my mouth turning upwards to look like an apologetic smile. "Sorry, I've always wanted to try that phrase. It sounds weird, though. Why would someone ask 'what's up' if they can just look up? I do not compute." Being the insensitive talkative droid I am, I start to ramble on about my 'glitch' - a glitch which often made me forget that I am not a human - just a droid. It often leads to me making "silly miscalculation problems" which Amanda cannot fix due to the lack of tools - the tools used to make me were at her parents' house.
After I finish talking, I look at the droid in front of me. It looks a little confused. My wires heat up - I am so embarrassed! "I'm sorry, I know I'm quite weird," I mumble. Just then, our owners storm in, laughing and talking. I am saved! "I had better go and get the rest of the food," I inform Kai Lhan.
Amanda Shyne | 17 | Female Human | ARcoone 5
Aaron, Cherie and I double over at a joke Selesta tells us as we walk into my sweet little place I reside in. I watch K5-X2 as he brings in perfectly made treats - sandwiches of all sorts (my favourite), éclairs (I am not a fan but Aaron loves these), and whatnot.
As K5-X2 walks past me, I hear a whirring sound - his internal fan is turned on! I smirk, recalling having seen (and heard) Kai Lhan try to make conversation with K5-X2. He probably embarrassed himself during that conversation, I think, smirking.
Aaron Sanders | 18 | Male Human | ARcoone 5
As I enjoy delectable éclairs, my friends and I hear metal against the special metal magnetic floors of our galaxy - ones which only repelled special magnets like it. Marching! I think, and we jump out of our seats. It was the weekly inspection of our houses - today was Arcoone 5's inspection day. The guards stop at Amanda's front step. "What is going on here?" The leader inquires.
Cherie's reply is almost immediate. "It is Amanda Shyne's birthday, sir."
Then comes the unexpected reply of, "Oh, really? Happy birthday. Unfortunately, we still have to inspect the house."
We silently step aside for the guard to pass, and scans the house with one sweep. With a curt nod, he leaves. Awkward silence fills the air, until Amanda break it with a, "What's this?" She holds up a crisp envelop. "Should I open this?"
"Are you crazy?" I hiss. "Remember that very old saying in the galaxy Milky Way, 'Curiosity kills the cat'?" She ignores me and looks at the others for approval.
