Vaessa walked towards her destination through the way ahead of her.There were trees giving her shade on both sides of the path.She was enjoying the new atmosphere.This was the first time she certainly to the birth planet of her face,Terrans.She was going to the office of the college.She stopped on the way as she reached a huge door with a huge sign above it saying.

"Terran University of Ancient Arts."

"So here it is the TUAA.It is about time I try to change my appearance."Vaessa said looking at the sign above her.She brought her wrist up to press a button on her watch.A holographic image of someone appeared on it.She scrolled through some of them to look at those appearances,but she didn't seemed interested in any of it.

"Nope"

"No"

"Not this one either."

"Isn't there anything that I can try without out looking complete commoner."She said as she was not finding a suitable attire for her.

"Aha,found something at last."She said as she finally found out something suitable for her.She pressed over the holographic image and her appearance changed in a second.Now she was looking like a boy.Her hair was now tied up into a pony tail and it was blonde in color.And also she was wearing a blue colored jeans and a full sleeved purple shirt with sleeved folded to to half of her arms.She continued to her destination now that she was on perfect camouflage.

Gear was working on the office.She was rolling around the office carrying "data" from here to there. "Data" was like digital information store in a physical form.They look like a holographic papers at first sight.Only bots made to handle "data" was able to interact or even touch it.Yes,Gear was a robot she was made to work for TUAA.She was always working at the head office.She knew everything about the TUAA.One would even say that she was TUAA itself.She was head of everything in that.But for a bot, she was a little clumsy and also liked to make friends.Not with just other machines,with living beings too.Gear believed that even robots pass living beings.While Gear was carrying those she had on her robotic arms she heard someone knock on her door.She looked at the direction where noise came from.

"Oh my,that's a rather ancient way to let someone know you are here.I wonder who could it be."She said to herself.She activated her X-ray vision to look at the door and saw a girl disguised as a boy.No one knew why an info bot had functions like X-ray vision and thermo durability.She could have survived inside the core of a star for years.That was something which even best of the fighter bots couldn't do.

"Shut up, Narrator."she said.Nobody knew why she was able to break the fourth wall either.

"I know,you know why I can do this."she stated."You can come in little lady."she said raising her voice so that the girl could hear her.

The door now opened and the Vaessa in disguise entered the room.

"How did you find out?"Vaessa asked.

"I have x-ray vision."Gear answered.

"You are an info-bot, right?"Vaessa asked.

"Well,technically yes."Gear replied."I can understand why you are in disguise.But I can't understand why you are dressed as a boy,miss Vaessa West?"Gear said shocking Vaessa.

"How did you knew it was me?"Vaessa asked.

"Pegasus told me,you were coming to me."Gear said.

"She did?"Vaessa asked.

"Yes,my dear."she said.

“She must have told you why I was coming too,right?”Vaessa asked.

“Yes,she did.”Gear replied.

“Then can you help me with that?”Vaessa asked with expecting eyes.

“I believe that a friend of my friend is my friend too.”Gear said.

“I don’t know about that,but that must mean that you will help me,right?”Vaessa asked.

“I will help you,but I don’t know if finding someone from your dream would be that easy.”Gear said.

“I think that finding him would be that hard,because he had something which only a few has in common with.”Vaessa said.

“Oh my,what would that be?”Gear asked.

“He had long black hair which was a little longer past his shoulders.”Vaessa said.Gear was shocked to hear that.She circled the floor with excitement.

“I might know who he is.”Gear said.She placed the “data” she was carrying down on the desk near her and began to search from it.

“Found it.”She took a file from it and threw it upwards.A screen appeared in front of them with Blake’s picture and data on it.All details of him were written on the screen. “Is this the guy you were looking for.”she asked.

“Yes, this is him.I knew it,my dreams comes true almost every time.”Vaessa said.

“I can’t believe it.”Gear said.

“I know many people don’t believe in prophetic dreams.I guess that applies to robots too.”Vaessa asked.

“Even robots can be considered as people.Even we have feelings, you know.By the way,it is not the fact that your dream came true I don’t believe.The fact I can’t believe is that someone like him can be prince of someone’s dream.”Gear said.

“Prince of my dreams,huh?This is so romantic.”Vaessa said as she looked at the screen in front of her.“Blake Terry,second student year in Ancient Art of Programming,huh?It is the same as my dream.”She said after reading the first sentence of what was written in the screen.

“By the way, what was your dream about?”Gear asked.

“It is a secret.”Vaessa said.

“A secret,huh?”Gear said with a disappointed face.“I think he will hate this but,do you want to be his roommate?”Gear asked.

“And his classmate too.”Vaessa replied with a smile making Gear unable to say no to that.

“I will try to do it.”Gear said as she took the “data” and began to search and edit some of those. “Did it?”Gear said as she finished with the files.

“Wow you are so fast.”Vaessa said.

“Here is the card key to your room.”Gear said as she extended her hands forward and a card materialized on her hands.Vaessa took it from her hands.

“You have a particle materializer inside you.You are awesome,maybe even more than Pegasus.”Vaessa said.

“I am programmed to fly spaceships too.”Gear said.

“You are definitely more awesome than Pegasus.”Vaessa said.

“You should get going now.The card key will show you the way.Blake must be back by now.Just call me if he refuses to let you stay.Even though the probability is low.”Gear said.Vaessa turned back and began to leave the room but she stopped and turned back to Gear.

“I forgot to ask.Do you know Blake?You seemed like you were familiar with him.”Vaessa asked.

“He is my “friend”.”She replied.

“What was that?”Vaessa asked.

“What was what?”Gear asked.

“The bunny ears,I mean.”Vaessa replied.

“Oh that.I was just um…”She thought for a second “I don’t know really.”Gear replied with a smile.

“You know,you are being suspicious.”Vaessa said.

“He is just a friend.”Gear said.

“You mean a “friend”,Right?”Vaessa said.

“Yes “a friend”.”Gear said as both of them laughed at each other.

“Well,bye then.We will meet each other soon.”Vaessa said.

“See you soon.”Gear waved her goodbye.As Vaessa left the room she sighed with relief.

“I thought I was caught for a second.But I don’t think anyone will ever guess my connection with that idiot.”Gear said to herself.She turned towards the desk and went back to the work she was doing.
