Katelyn's P.O.V

I'm completely frozen. My brain is so swarmed with thoughts that I can't think at all. "Wha... Travis?" My heart is fluttering with the very thought of him being alive.

"No. Not Travis." Emmalyn corrects. "We all wish it was Travis." I don't want to hear anymore. I only want to believe he's still here, so I don't have to go back to the empty blackness since the end of Love~Love Paradise.

"H-His face....His voice...." I'm trying so, so hard to convince myself that he's real.

"I need someone to test it out. And I thought, since this might help you with your grief too, let's try it out with Travis!"

"Everything about AI, that was this?" I asked.

"Uh, yeah. Basically, the point of it is to build you back up until you don't need it anymore. And by it I mean Trav-"

"We're not calling it Travis." I stated as Emmalyn gave me a confused look. "I'll try it out. See if it helps me. But it doesn't deserve to be called Travis. I'm calling it Travbot." Emmalyn nodded. "First things first, how did i- Travbot know what who I am?"

"Facial recognition. It knows who the whole gang is. Aphmau, Dante, Aaron, everyone." Emmalyn informs. Travbot says silent through all of this. I'd do the same thing. What would I even say? "Anymore questions, Katelyn?"
"No. I'll go home."

"I'm coming with you. I don't want you to have to explain him to everyone." Emmalyn says, jerking her thumb at Travbot. "That'll be really confusing, and the responses..." She takes a deep breath. "I don't want you to have to go through that."

"Do you wanna change into something more.... Casual?"

Emmalyn looks down. "Yeah, that's a good idea. Don't you go anywhere!" Emmalyn walks out of the lab as I take another sip of my frappuccino. Travbot looks at me. I know he's going to help me, but he's so real. I can barely even look him in the eyes. I blink harshly, take a quick glance at Travbot, then stare down again.

"Hi." He greets awkwardly.

"Hi." I respond, emotionless.

"Hi." Travis said awkwardly.

"Dork, you knocked all my stuff over!" Travis had bumped into me, knocking over all my books. "Weren't you the guy I hit in the face with a ball?" I asked. He nodded as I snickered. "Sorry not sorry, bud."

"W-Well, I guess we're even." He added. "Hey, um, you have chemistry two, right?"

"Yeah."

"Wanna study together?" He asked. I slapped him across the face. "OW! What was that for?"

"Sorry. I know you're friends with that jerk Dante, and I assumed things." I apologized. "I actually mean it this time. To make it up to you, wanna go get some ice cream before we head over to my place?"

"Yeah, that'd be great!" He gave me a warm smile, and I gave one back. "Oh, your stuff."

"I'll get it-"

You know that cliche chick flick scene where the girl drops her stuff and the guy tries to pick them up at the same time as the girl and their hands end up touching? Well, that just happened. Travis blushed, then his eyes filled with laughter. "Wow universe, couldn't get any more cliche could you? No-Not that we're gonna end up..." He started to blush even more than before. "Irene Travis, why do you have to be such a dork...." He mumbled, but I heard him loud and clear. I pretended I didn't.

"So, you coming or what?"

I smirk remembering how awkward Travis used to be. I wish I could go back to high school and meet him all over again. No, no,

I wish I could go back in time and save him. Find out who did this to him and make them suffer.

Looks like the emptiness is back. Travbot bites his lip. Well, its lip. Even though robots don't have genders, I'll find it hard not to refer to it as an it.

The wait for Emmalyn is long and hard. We just stare at each other trying to think of something to say. Even robots would be frozen in this situation. Travbot's similarities to Travis makes my head spin in a never-ending circle. I know he's not Travis. But there's a sinking feeling in my stomach that awakens whenever I get reminded of him. Which is always.

"Alright. Back." Emmalyn announces, walking beside me. "Kenmur will drive us to your place." I nod. We run out of the lab and into Emmalyn's garage, where Kenmur is waiting for us inside his blue compact car. Emmalyn sits beside him and me and Travbot plop down in the back. Kenmur pulls out of the garage, turning up the radio to break the silence. I bob my head to the beat as we drive out of Darling Drive and into Lover's Lane.

"I'll wait for you guys to finish." Kenmur says, parking in my driveway. Me, Emmalyn, and Travbot walk up to my door.

"So, before we start, where's Travbot gonna stay?" I ask.

"The tube he was in should charge him, so I can bring it over sometime today." Emmalyn responds. She licked her lips thoughtfully. "Are you ready? If you don't feel like this will help you, I can try someone el-"

"I will do it. No backing out now." I state, ringing my doorbell. Any second now, Kawaii~Chan is going to answer the door. We'll have to explain to her what's going on, as well as Aphmau, Aaron, Dante, everyone. I don't want to see their expression. The tiny butterfly of hope that flies in their blood when they see Travbot. Their smile sinking when they learn the truth. The painful truth.
Kawaii~Chan swings the door open. "Welcome back Kat- TRAVIS~KUN?" She shrieks. "But you, and she, I'm so glad you'-"

"Actually, not Travis." I admit. Kawaii~Chan's spark is gone from her eyes.

"Nuh-Uh-Uh, Katelyn. The only reason I came with you is so you wouldn't have to explain this to everyone. I know you're tough, but having to deal with this..." Emmalyn reminds me, squeezing my hand. I give her a smile. "Kawaii~Chan, I know you must be confused. And trust me, I would be too..." Emmalyn begins to explain to her.

Kawaii~Chan's P.O.V

I nod when Emmalyn finishes. "Oh, well welcome Travi- Travbot." To think, I actually thought he would be alive. To think, I actually had hope for a second. I wish I got to know him better.

Kawaii~Chan wishes with all her heart that this works so I don't have to see Katelyn miserable anymore.
