One of Quinn’s friends notices Quinn walking up to the group with what appears to be a 10-year-old Hispanic looking boy, “yo guys, who’s that with Quinn,” he asks.
The others turn to look, “how should we know,” another boy asks, “I believe Quinn will introduce us, the kid looks cute and he seems to be athletic, judging by his slim frame”.
As they approach the group Quinn smiles, “you already seem to make an impression, Andy,” he says, “they are all staring and pointing at us, or rather you”.
“Is there anything you want me to do,” the “Android” asks.
“Just act like a shy ten-year-old,” the 14-year-old says, “Andy” nods and after searching his “emotion file” finds the “shyness” option and activates it, immediately his expression changes from relaxed to looking somewhat nervous. Seeing this causes Quinn to grin, “perfect,” he whispers, “leave the talking to me and only answer when spoken to,” he then adds and “Andy” gives a slight nod.
“Yo Quinn,” one of the four boys say, “who’s the kid,” looking at the “boy”.
“Hey guys,” Quinn says, smiling, “I want you to meet my friend from Spain, his name is “Andy”, we have been pen-pals for two years”.
One boy with short blond hair looks at “Andy”, “from Spain? Can he even speak and understand english?”
“He sure can,” Quinn says, he looks over at “Andy” and notices that the “boy” seems to look even more nervous than before, “would you guys stop staring at him? He’s really shy and your staring makes him extremely nervous”.
A boy with short black hair looks at “Andy”, “so, what part of Spain are you from,” he asks.
“Andy” quickly searches his files, “M-Madrid,” he then says shyly.
“Cool,” the boys say.
“How long are you going to stay in the US,” another boy asks.
“Um… a… a few weeks,” “Andy” replies.
“Cool, then we can get to know each other better,” one boy with orange hair says.
“I… I hope we can become… friends,” “Andy” says.
“We’ll see,” the boys say, “you seem to be okay, and also pretty cute”.
Quinn looks over at “Andy” and smiles when he notices the “Android’s” silicone skin cheeks turn a little pink, ‘damn… this Android is truly amazing,’ he thinks to himself, ‘it’s even able to blush!’
“Th-thanks… I guess,” “Andy” then says.
‘If I wouldn’t know any better,’ Quinn continues to think to himself, ‘I wouldn’t think that Andy would be anything else than a normal kid! He’s super convincing!’
“Um… wh-what are your names,” the “Android” then asks, “you know mine… b-but I don’t know your’s”.
“I’m Yuki,” a 14-year-old Asian looking boy with smooth black hair says, “I’m 14, my family migrated from Japan!”
“I’m Tom,” the blond haired boy, who looks like 15, says, “I’m 15!”
“My name is Max,” a boy with short brown hair says, “I’m 14!”
“And my name is Sean,” the orange haired boy says, “I’m 15!”
“It… it’s nice meeting all of you,” “Andy” says.
“Same,” the boys say.
Quinn smiles, happy that “Andy” seems to be getting along with his friends, “what do you guys wanna do,” he then asks.
“How about we head to the parkour park and do some parkour,” Max suggests.
“Wh-what is p-parkour,” “Andy” asks.
Quinn looks at “Andy”, “parkour is a type of physical education and lifestyle that aims to overcome obstacles by moving, running, jumping and climbing from one point to another in an urban environment,” he explains.
“Sounds like fun,” “Andy” says, “I’ve never done it though”.
“Well, why don’t you hang back and watch us older boys do parkour,” Yuki suggests, “when you feel like you’ve understood it and would like to try, then you decide when you are ready”.
“Andy” is already searching his database and finds a file which would grant him the ability to do parkour, “I… I think I’ll manage,” he says, “it… it doesn’t sound to difficult,” he adds as he activates the ability.
The others shrug, “suit yourself,” they say and start to walk towards a fenced of area of the park.
Quinn hangs back, “you sure you’ll manage, Andy,” he asks in a whisper.
“Andy” nods, “I’ve downloaded and activated the ability to be able to do parkour,” he says, “so, I’ll be fine!”
Quinn frown, “I haven’t ordered you…,” he then cuts himself off and facepalms himself, “right, I allowed you to make your own choices without me having to give you a command! Sorry… I kinda forgot!”
“Andy” lets out a giggle, “that’s okay,” he says.
Quinn smiles, “you know,” he says, as they follow the other boys towards the parkour section of the park, “if I wouldn’t know that you are in reality a robot, I’d think that you are a normal human! You are super convincing!”
“Andy” smiles, “thanks, Quinn,” he says, “it’s all thanks to my database, your explanations how to act and just watching how the other humans act”.
“So, the more I teach you and explain to you, the more you watch other humans and by searching your database for certain information, you are able to become more human-like?”
“Andy” nods, “correct,” he says, “I’ll always be an Android, but the more I learn about you humans, the more convincing I’ll become!”
“That is so cool,” Quinn says, “now, lets go and have some fun,” he then says, “Andy” nods and the two run to catch up to the group.
