"N, stop!" Said drone clamped his mouth shut at Uzi's stern tone. "You need to stop taking the blame for something that isn't your fault. They should not have treated you like that especially since you did nothing wrong!" Her expression turned into something more guilty. "And I have to admit, that I didn't really treat you the best at first either. I always snapped and pushed you away whenever you were genuinely trying to see if I was ok. I guess I wasn't used to anyone actually caring about me. So, I'm sorry."

N's features softened. "Oh, Uzi, it's ok, I completely understand! I guess the last thing you were expecting was your first friend to be the one who tried to kill you."

Uzi couldn't help but chuckle. "If it means I don't have to hang out with the other worker drones, then so be it." She then swiftly turned around and grabbed the TV remote, then turned back to N. "Now, enough being sappy! I think it's about time I show you some anime."

N perked up. "Ooooooooooo, what do you have in mind?"

Uzi flopped onto her bed and turned on the TV. She had the perfect show in mind, Naruto, a classic. Even though she really hated humans, she had to admit, they were really good at making shows, anime being her favorite type. While the title screen was starting she patted the spot next to her, motioning N to sit down as well.

N felt his face heat up, the thought of sitting next to Uzi suddenly making him nervous. But why? He has literally hugged Uzi before, even held her in his arms like some Night in Shining Armor crap.

It didn't help that her bed was small, only made for one person. So when N accepted her offer they had to squish together. N swore his heart was hammering in his chest, what if Uzi could hear it? Gosh that would be embarrassing.

Little did he know, Uzi was feeling the same way. She tried desperately not to tremble as she leaned on N's shoulder. Uzi wondered how they even got to this point? How did they get from Uzi blowing N's head off, to them now cuddling, guess thats what you could call it?

Eww, no, don't imagine it like that! That's NOT what this is. Though, somewhere deep down, she kinda wished it was.

  Thankfully, the show slowly distracted them from the awkward situation. Especially when it got to some more action scenes. The show drew N in a bit quicker. After a while, it seemed like nothing was going to tear N's gaze away from the screen. This was his first time ever watching any sort of show, he could see why Uzi enjoyed it so much.

  The hours seemed to fly by so fast and that's when Uzi realized she still had her homework. She groaned with annoyance, which caught N's attention.

  "What is it?"

  "I still got attorneys jail files to do." N cocked his head in confusion, so Uzi clarified. "Homework."

  "Oh." N couldn't deny that he was a bit disappointed. Does that mean he would have to leave? He really, really didn't want too, he liked hanging out with Uzi. That means he might have to go back to the landing pod, alone. He would hang out with V, but she would most likely be at Lizzy's right now. And he doubted any worker drones would want to hang out with him, maybe Thad, but he's probably with his friends and N didn't want to be a burden to him.

  Then he got an idea and turned to Uzi with a hopeful smile. "Would you like me to...help you with your homework?"

  Uzi gave him a doubtful look. "Would you even understand my homework?"

  "I don't know, but it's worth a try! And I would like to know what you learn, school sounds interesting."

  Trust me, bud, it is far from interesting. But instead she sighed. N never got to experience school, and by the curious look in his eyes, he might be the few who would enjoy it.
