Katelyn's P.O.V
My phone blasts Panic! At the Disco music, trying to get me to wake up. I hit snooze about fifteen times, then finally get up. I wonder if Travis is bus-
.....
I hear a soft but rapid knocking coming from my door. I know that knock anywhere. "Come in, Kawaii~Chan."
Kawaii~Chan walks in, her hair already brushed, holding a tray of my favorite sweets. "Hey, Katelyn~Sama. Kawaii~Chan wasn't sure if you were awake." The spark is gone from her voice, and not just because of the serious lessons. It has changed to a comforting tone. "Um...I made you some sweets! Aphmau said I don't have to go to the maid cafe today, so Kawaii~Chan decided she's going to spend the day with you."
"Thanks, Kawaii~Chan." I give her the happiest smile I can imagine. I look down at my tray, and eat up everything pretty quickly. Kawaii~Chan smiles.
"Oh, Kawaii~Chan almost forgot! Emmalyn~Sama wanted to see you today. She said anytime is fine."
"I'll go now." I stretch and grab a white shirt, red flannel jacket, and jeans. Kawaii~Chan leaves while saying: "Katelyn~Sama....If you ever need anyone to talk to, Kawaii~Chan's here for you." I nod. Kawaii~Chan is such a sweet girl. Always thinking about others before herself. I walk to the bus stop and take the bus to Emmalyn's street, Darling Drive. Emmalyn's house is just a few blocks away. I can make it.
I start to think about what Emmalyn needs. She couldn't make it to.... Yesterday. It might be about.... That. I can't even think straight. It doesn't take me awhile to get to Emmalyn's house because I was so lost in thought. I ring the doorbell and wait. Kenmur answers. "Oh, Katelyn! Long time no see!" He gives out a nervous and forced laugh. "I'm sorry." I stare at the floor. "Emmalyn's downstairs. In the lab. She really needs to talk to you. Really."
"Kay. Bye!" I wave to him and walk down the stairs, to a locked door. I knock and wait patiently. What was so important Emmalyn couldn't tell me over the phone? Honestly, I didn't want to go anywhere today. I want to go to bed, and when I wake up, it's all going to be a bad dream. I'm going to wake up, and I'm going to be on the cruise, me and Travis never had a fight, and I'm going to turn to my phone and a notification from my text messages app because my phone dinged. I'm going to see my background, which is Travis kissing my cheek. He put it on my phone when I wasn't looking. I'm going to unlock my phone, and tap the texting app, and there's going to be a message from Travis. "Hey gorgeous! Heard there's gonna be some sweet fireworks tonight. None are gonna shine brighter than you. #Pickupmaster Anyway, me and the gang are going to get breakfast together. You comin'?"
"Yeah." I whisper. "I'm coming." I open my eyes, and the door's still there. Emmalyn's behind it. Kawaii~Chan gave me sweets this morning to make me feel better. Yesterday, I went to Travis' funeral. A few weeks ago, Travis died. About a year ago, I kissed Travis at A-Con. About ten years ago, I hit Travis in the face with a volleyball. This is reality. It can't be avoided.
Emmalyn answers the door, her blonde hair tied up into a bun. "Hey....Katelyn. Coffee? I heard you liked the double-chocolatey-chip frappuccino from MineBucks, so I got it for you...Even though it doesn't have any coffee in it, so I don't know why I asked you if you wanted coffee." Emmalyn offers.
"Yeah, I love it." Emmalyn hands me the frappuccino, and I take a sip. How did she even know I like this, anyway? She must have called Aphmau. Dang, she's really going far to make me happy! My friends....they're awesome.
"Um, you might wanna sit down." The room is mostly white, but a tint of blue is also in the room because of the blue lights. I sit down on a white armchair, taking another sip of the frappuccino. White and blue, huh.
.......White and blue.
I know it's not Emmalyn's fault for the lab colors. White and blue are signature colors for a lab. I squirm in my chair. "Oh, are you uncomfortable? I can get you a better chai-"
"I'm fine." Emmalyn sits in the chair across from me. "
"Okay, first things first. I-I'm really sorry I couldn't make it yesterday. Kenmur too."
"It's okay."
"Second things second, um, I've been studying artificial intelligence. It's amazing how you can give a non-living object the gift of speaking like a human! The thing is, every artificial intelligent robot, or AI, has no personality whatsoever. Blank. Emotionless." She paused for a second, staring off into the distance. I'm pretty interested into what she's getting at. "So, I downloaded a dictionary made by tons of English experts containing all the words of the English language. It also has some based off of modern trends. It's on this flash drive." Emmalyn informed me, raising a magenta flash drive out of her pocket in her white dress. Her dress seems very formal. She must have been doing something very important. "I have also downloaded an application used by hundreds of programmers which gives a robot the power to read facial expressions. Using these two programs put together, I gave my robot a personality. A certain personality I feel you will find very familiar. Follow me."
I follow Emmalyn as she leads me to a tube. She opens it, and inside is a creepy robot outline of a human. There is a small, flat slot on the side of the tube. Emmalyn reaches to the table to the side of the tube and grabs a folder. She searches inside of the folder and pulls out a piece of paper. "On the other side of this paper, the side you can't see, is a picture of a person. I would show you it now, but that would spoil the surprise, wouldn't it?" Emmalyn says while nodding, as if she was answering for me. Emmalyn closed the door of the tube and slid the paper in, the side with the person on it faces the bottom, so I still couldn't see. There was a blue light spreading from the right to the left of the tube. "Are you ready?" Emmalyn asked. I nodded. "This will help you until you don't need it anymore." I give her a confused look.
Emmalyn waits until the the tube dings, then carefully opens the door. I cover my mouth as I see who it is. So real, but so fake.
It's Travis. His green eyes turn to purple, then back to green. He smiles.
"Hello, Katelyn."
