The parts of spare metal thrown together, the bolts and screws titened just enough to be utilized, the grease stains and the smudge marks from her fingertips.

The year was 2089, and Lucy was laughed at the school year before for not having anyone.

However, this year would be different, she used her wrench to titen one more screw to hold in the dizzy mess of chaos she called wiring, slamed the back shut closing in and waterproofing the very fragile motherboard, and flipped the switch releasing electricity into the mysterious and metal creation as she laughed maniacally, "wa-ha-ha-ha!" It stood to its feet, lighting going off in the background - because why not there be a storm on the night of such a monstrosity being built! - and screached a mighty roar, "yawnnnn" wait that's not a mighty screaching raur, uhmmm, two little blue circles appear in the digital area of what appears to be the being's face. "Hello... (A little ding goes off) Lucy, I am your new friend, it is nice to meet you." the being said in a surprisingly gently voice for being built on such a crazed night by a girl notoriously known for diving into darker mediums. "What!" a slight feeling of anger and confusion covered Lucy's face. She opened up the back of the being and looked on the tape on the motherboard, "Benevolent Sentience" it stated in big black letters, "mom!, ughhhh, I asked for malevolent sentience not benevolent sentience!" her cries couldn't be heard however due to the thick wood distancing the basement where Lucy worked on her lectronics from the room her parents slept in on the second floor of the large house. The only ones that could her her complaint was the bugs that lived in the crevices of the corners of the basement.

"Do you not want me?" the being said to Lucy with it's digital eyes changing to eyes with tears. "No, no, it's not that, I do want you... I was just hoping you'd be more like me I guess." she said as her shoulders shrugged towards the being. "Do I have a name? Do I call you mother? What am I? Why did you call me benevolent sentie-" "One at a time, one at a time, okay?" "Okay." "Your name is, uhm, I guess you don't have a name, we'll get back to that one later." "Okay!" "You're really excited to get a name aren't you." Lucy sarcastically whispered to herself. "No, you shall not call me mother, because even though I did create you, I did not create you as my kid, I created you as my friend." "Okay, information processed!" "To answer what you are, you are a robot of benevolent sentience, which begs the next question of what I meant by calling you a benevolent sentience, basically my mom bought a piece of hardware from the technology story that in turn more or less, brings you to life." "But you were hoping that your mother was going to buy malevolent sentience instead though, correct?" "Yes, because I wanted a truly evil friend that I could relate to and stuff because I'm eViL!" She said as she wiggled her fingers in the air trying to portray a sense of evilness. "But you don't seem eViL (it repeats the finger motion that she had done before) you created me, which makes you good not evil." "Hmmm, well I suppose your right, but I'm still a little eViL (with the finger wave once again) because I have created my own friend to make other girls and boys feel jealous of our friendship, wa-ha-ha-ha!" Finally understanding Lucy's situation, the robot just waves his hands in the air saying "ha-ha-ha" in a gentle voice trying to mimic her evil laugh.

"But Lucy?" "Yes robot?" "What about my name?" "Oh yes, your name, hmm, I could just call you Benevolent Sentience." "Oh yes!" "But that would be too long to say." "Oh no." "Hmmm, Oh! I Know, I'll call you Ben, which is short for Benevolent Sentience!" "Oh yes! great idea Lucy."

She laughed at the mess she made. Nothing was going according to plan, but it was absolutely perfect.
