The next day in school, Dorian and I were leaving the lunch room with our new issued tablets. Just as we were walking out Leo and Chase were walking in.

"Hey Chase, Leo," I waved walking over to them. "Mr. Dave-Dad," I corrected last second, "followed through."

"Dave?" Dorian questioned.

"It's his first name." Leo responded quickly.

"I thought his first name was Donald?"

"He goes by Dave." I lied patting Dorians shoulder, "Speak of the devil." At that moment Davenport jogged down the stairs to meet up with us.

"Hey guys, check it out. Electronic bulletin boards, tablets instead of textbooks, and this is the coolest part," he lead us over to the lockers where a grey badge looking thing was where the combination used to be. "Check it out. By the end of the day I will have fingerprints scanners in all the lockers. We were gonna do rental scanning but it turns out eyeballs are highly flammable." I winced at that. Davenport took Leo's wrist and put it against the badge where it blinked red before turning green and the locker popped open.

"Hello, Leo Dooley." An automated voice spoke.

"So what do you think?" Davenport asked.

"I think it's gonna be a lot harder to get out of when someone locks me inside." Leo said honestly.

"I gotta hand it to you Dad, this is amazing." Chase praised.

"See? I told you it would be great." We heard a robotic humming and we turned to see a robotic Principal Perry. We made our way towards it.

"Oh, and I see you have Principal Perry a makeover. I especially love what you did to her face." Leo commented stopping next to her.

"Zip it, Dooley." It spoke.

"Absolutely not." Dorian spoke, covering his eyes, then leaning closer to me"Love, your dad turned our principal into a robot." I felt my face get hot, in a good way at his pet name.

"It's not Principal Perry, its Robo Perry." Davenport amended. "She's a robot." He said excitedly.

"And she's beautiful!" The real Perry exclaimed walking from behind it to hug it. They also kissed cheeks a couple times.

"Make it stop!" Leo screeched, also covering his eyes.

"Anyway, I designed Robo Perry to walk around handing out detentions while-"

"I'm on a three hour lunch break! Or lurking else where." Perry cut off.

"I don't know if it's the tooth I found in my mashed potatoes or the sight in front of me but I think I'm going to vomit." I stated placing a hand over my mouth.

"I think it's the masked potatoes, you really shouldn'tve ate it." Dorian agreed.

"Adam promised me ten bucks."

"How could you do this?" Chase demanded of our ego centric father, bringing the pair of us back to the problem at hand.

"I, uh, took the foundation's of a robot I built for private security and I repurposed the software and then I matched the vocal patterns. It wasn't easy mathing the sounds of a gravel truck unloading with a bear in labor, but I got it." I gave my father a deadpan look.

"I always wanted a super cute twin sister. I'm gonna buy us matching bikinis." The robot and Perry made the same pose with their hip pointed to one side.

"And I'm gonna gouge my eyes out." Leo said enthusiastically sarcastic.

"Shut it Dooley!" The Robot and Perry said at the same time before pointing at each other and hugging. "Thanks Don." Perry smiled and went to give him a hug but he stopped it.
