"Hi, my name's Mike." I said into the microphone. "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too." The robot said back, slowly, carefully. "My name is Phil."
Slowly, we became good friends. Well, as close as you can be with a robot. I was only 5 years old back then, and had no family other than a sister that died early and had autism.
"Um... Phil?" I asked. He looked at me. "Do you think robots will eventually try to take over the world?"
"I don't know, but if we do, then I will make sure you aren't hurt because we are friends and friends protect each other." Phil said. I grinned.
"Thanks, Phil."

The robots have turned on humankind. I suppose it was our fault, for not treating them properly, but we made them. We made them to be helpers, not rebels. They killed everyone and anyone that tried to control them. All the humans were on the run now. I was running from an angry group of killer bots.
"I'm too young to die!" I yelled, turning a corner.
"Says who?" A robot roared.
"I'm only 17!" I screamed back. "At least let me reach 18!" I turned another corner.
And faced a dead end. The killer bots slowed down, knowing I had no way to escape. They advanced on me, and I backed up slowly, eventually hitting brick wall. The Robots had me surrounded. I curled up into a ball, crying and waited for death.
"Wait." A robot stepped in front of the others with its arms outstretched. "What's your name?" I looked up.
"Mike." I said, tears streaking my face.
"Let us kill him!" An impatient robot hissed.
"Yeah!" The others chimed in.
"His kind abused us!" One said.
"He's a threat to robots!" I heard another shout.
"No." A calm voice said. The others were silenced. "Mike is my friend. Besides, all the humans are running from us now. There is no threat to robots. We are a threat to the human race."
"Who are you?" I asked. "Why would you help me?"
"My name is Phil." The robot said. "You are my friend, and friends protect each other."
