"(Y/N), could you come here for a minute?" Clara's voice echoed from another room. I stopped washing the dishes, and walked to where Clara was located. She was at the entrance, and was putting on a coat over her.

I walked up to her, and waited for what she had to tell me. She looked at me and smiled. "There you are. Okay, so I'll be going out for awhile. I have some business to attend to. I don't know how long I'll be gone, so watch Joshua while I'm away." She explained.

"Yes, Clara." I answered. "Great, I'm leaving right now. Joshua is upstairs in his room, so go and keep him company until I get back." She says, opening the door.

"Of course, Clara." I say, watching her as she walked outside. "Thank you, (Y/N). Goodbye!" She says, waving at me. "Goodbye, Clara." I replied, shutting the door behind her.

I turned around and headed upstairs to Joshua's room. I found the door that led to his room, and opened it slowly.

Joshua was laying down on the floor, coloring in a coloring book. He looked up at me when he heard me come in. I walked in, and closed the door behind me.

"Hello, Joshua. Your mother left, so I'm going to keep you company while she's away. Is that alright with you?" I ask, tilting my head.

"I guess..." He mumbles, and continued on coloring. I sat down in front of him, and watched him color in silence.

"Are you always this quiet?" Joshua asked me, not looking up from his coloring book. I was still sitting in front of him, and I blinked at his question.

"There is nothing to say. You have not given me any instructions, so there is no reason for me to say or do anything." I explained. He stopped coloring, and just stared at the paper in front of him.

"Is everything alight, Joshua?" I ask, watching him carefully. He placed down his crayon on the paper, and looked up at me.

"Hey...can you grab me something to drink? I'm thirsty." Joshua asks. I stood up and began to walk towards the door. "Of course." I say, and opened the door.

"Wait, never mind. I'm not thirsty anymore." He calls out. I closed the door, and turned around to see Joshua standing up. Now, I was just standing there silently.

"Could...could you bring me that toy over there? The car one." He asked, watching me intently. I walked over to the toy car, and picked it up. When I was just about to walk over to him, he shook his head at me.

"I changed my mind, I don't want it." He says, and I gently placed the toy car back onto the floor.

"Wow...so you do listen to anything I say." I heard him mumble. "Of course, I'm your android after all." I say, walking to him.

"Do you mind if I touch your hand?" He asked, tilting his head up at me. "Yes, you can." I replied, and held out my hand to him. He hesitantly reached his own hand out, and gently touched my hand.

"Whoah, your hand is warm! It feels like a real human!" Joshua exclaimed, smiling widely.

I looked down at our intertwined hands, and that weird but nice feeling came back.

What's going on with me?

Hey guys! I hoped you liked this chapter. Sorry that it wasn't long as you wanted it to. But, I'm trying my hardest to give you guys more and more updates. This chapter was just getting to know Joshua more, but don't worry, Connor will show his gorgeous face eventually.

Also, I just want to thank the large amount of support you're giving me. I just published this book a couple days ago, and I never knew that I would get this much support for it. Thank you so much ^-^

Anyways, I hope you have an awesome day/night!
