There was a robot named RX-31, but she likes to be called Roxie despite noone actually doing that. she has detachable magnetic arms and two metal orbs on each side of her round head to resemble hair buns; she 'wore' a skirt and her body was an wide hourglass figure. she was programmed to copy most human functions except the need to go to the bathroom, this includes smell but she prefers to keep it turned off after she endured some unpleasant experiences.
RX-31 woke up from her internal alarm clock and unplugged from her charger, sitting up in her bed with a distorted fatigued groan as she activated her voice system file which takes a while to boot up, it was static and course as she did. She always plans on updating it but never does. "RX-31" the familiar voice of Dr. Iba says from a speaker, "I'm glad you're awake." she pauses for a moment before continuing. "We are about an hour out from where we will land. You have been asleep for about five hours but you should wake up when our wheels touch down." "um...like a plane?" RX replied, confused, trying not to sound robotic as she spoke. "Yes, like a plane." the doctor responded with an amused tone, "Darn it! you promised not to move me while I was recharging!" RX yelled in annoyance "sorry RX-31. I was told to. you know how Dr. G is" Dr. Iba said apologetically before she finished. "Well what does he want me to do now? must be important to put me in a plane" RX remarked, her voice being flat but sassy "were doing a social experiment in California. your finally going to interact with people outside the facility and you can try some of those new foods. of course as flavored oil" "Yay!" RX exclaimed, almost squealing from excitement.
RX could taste but only drink flavored oil that tasted like the actual food, she didn't mind though, it stoped her fuel tank from getting sticky and rusted. just then RX-31's stomach growled and sounded like grinding gears, making her face heat up from embarrassment. Dr. Iba chuckled "i think we still have some pineapple strawberry oil left. check the storage compartment" Dr. Iba instructed. RX opened the compartment to find that there were a couple cans left along with other flavors "yes!" she cheered, opening one and sipped the translucent pink motor oil from the straw with delight. "you really are a sweet baby aren't you" Dr. Iba said with genuine affection. RX nodded and continued to finish the rest of the oil.
They landed at the California Airport "i can't wait!" RX exclaimed excitedly "I'll be at the gate waiting for you. I have the luggage so don't worry" Dr. Iba said before turning off the speaker system. RX grabed another oil can just in case, this time it was cinnamon bun flavored; and with that she eagerly left the plane and met up with Dr. Iba at the gate entrance who had a big suitcase with her "im so excited!!" RX shouted while jumping up and down, unable to contain her excitement "I know but we don't want to startle anyone, keep in mind people here haven't seen a self aware robot before" Dr. Iba reminded her, "sorry" RX apologised as she followed Dr. Iba through the airport.
The first thing that RX saw was someone running towards her; they were just a random teen boy "Wow a robot!" the guy yelled loudly enough for everyone to hear him. "What did he say?" a woman asks "he said robot". RX looked up and saw another man walking towards her. she thought nothing of it until a few moments later, the man started calling her something rude "What was that?" she asked the man, mildly confused "I said...you ugly piece of junk." RX froze in shock and another person added to the conversation "She's too dumb to be a robot!" "It's probably a trick! Let's dismantle them!" "Wait what!?" RX exclaimed in horror and curled into a ball behind Dr. Iba "Iba, why do they want to hurt me?" RX whimpered quietly. "Oh look she's a scaredy cat! i thought robots were supposed to be brave!" the second man mocked as he threw a half full coffee cup at her. the coffee splashed on her but she was water resistant so it merely bounced of her and rolled away. "I'll smash that bitch if she doesn't shut up and get lost!" the man yelled, but she couldn't take it anymore "Shut up shut up shut up!" RX kept repeating the sentence over an over, her voice glitching more with every repeat. then with a distorted screach her system shut down from the stress, making her fall limp on the floor "RX!?" Dr. Iba exclaimed and checked to see if she was ok "Oh. she just shut down" she exhaled a heavy sigh of relief "Wow. She's even more useless than I thought" the first man sneered, but Dr. Iba glared at him and took off her sunglasses before speaking up again "She just wanted to make friends! This was her first impression of everyday people, and you did this to her! she didn't do anything to you!" "I want to go home. I don't want to make friends anymore. people are mean" RX sadly said, slightly dazed as her system came back online. "dont worry. not everyone is like this" Dr. Iba reassured her softly. "I'm sorry" RX whimpered before she collapsed onto the ground again.
It wasn't long before Dr. G was able to find the small group of people that had been bothering RX. He approached them slowly but menacingly, his black cloak billowing with each step. "how DARE you insult RX-31 like that! She may be a robot but she has feelings! She was so excited to see people outside of the facility and make friends, but this is how you treat her!?" Dr G roared "STOP!" RX shouted, grabbing everyone's attention "Mabey their right. If they hate me after a few seconds of seeing me, mabey I should be scraped" she said dully with little emotion "I would understand if you wanted to start from scratch sir" she added sadly making everyone's eyes go wide with shock. Dr. Iba quickly stepped in and tried calming her down "I'm sure they won't want to hurt you. It'll take time for them to warm up to you" She explained, but RX had stopped responding to her. "RX? are you alright?" She gently grabbed RX's shoulders and shook her lightly "RX! please respond!" She pleaded, tears forming in her eyes. "I'm fine. I just need to recharge" RX said, her voice ironically sounding robotic and lifeless; she sat on the floor, staring at nothing while leaning her back against the wall in exhaustion "i guess i just wasn't expecting this...i should've known better, i'm a stupid failure..." she mumbled to herself. "...I'm sorry." a voice said from across the room. it was one of the men who had insulted her and called her a piece of garbage earlier "what do you mean?" RX questioned, not bothering to look at them. "we shouldn't have attacked you. we didn't even get to know you. please forgive me....um" "RX-31 but you can call me Roxie" RX said and gave him a small smile "I forgive you...but I dont want to talk right now" she said tiredly, closing her eyes as a yawn escaped her "Dr. Iba, can we leave? I would prefer to sleep in a bed and not the floor" she spoke quietly. "Of Course" she replied with a soft smile, leading the way to the car and driving home.
As they drove RX slept peacefully, her head lolling forward every once in a while. When they reached the parking lot, she unbuckled her seatbelt and stood up from her seat, stumbling as her legs felt like jelly. "You need help getting down?" Dr. Iba offered "mhm" she mumbled sleepily. "Do you need me to carry you or shall I bring my backpack?" She asked, knowing full well RX was far too weak to walk without help. "carry...please" she slurred, letting her body slump forward into Dr. Iba's waiting arms. "wow. that reboot really did a number on you huh?" She said in concern "Mmhmmm" the robot replied, feeling drowsy as she was carried to a bed. RX sighed in relief as she flopped onto the bed, falling asleep in record time. Dr. Iba smiled to herself and plugged the charging cord into RX's shoulder port, watching as the battery began to charge, the charging unit then turned back on and started scanning the chip, revealing that RX's power cell had run dangerously low. "Well. that explains it" she said to herself as she walked out of the room, turning off the lights.
