Robin was very well paid for his latest creation, Alpha, now he's created Gamma, a Next Generation plumbot.
"Oh, yeah, he's perfect. They'll love him at the Emporium".
Gamma made good friends with Five and Bethany. He'll live with them until Robin has installs all the necessary trait chips. By the way, Bethany seems to be in a better mood, but she still won't talk to Robin. It's weird not to have her attention, but maybe it's better this way.
Five and Bethany had been working together in the garden. They are best friends already.
Later, they recharge batteries side by side while Robin enjoys his dinner.
Another day has gone by without a word from Beth...
THE MORNING AFTER...
"Beth, listen, I know you are mad at me, but things are the way they are and you'll have to accept them or I won't be able to take you with me to Aurora Skies".
Beth doesn't answer, she just gives off sounds in her other language, the one she uses to communicate with Five and Gamma.
"Beth? Please, give me a sign that you understand me".
In response, Beth gives a happiness beam to Robin, a plumbot friendly interaction and the undoubted proof that her anger is gone".
"Wow, just as I thought, plumbots are not resentful".
"So, you're no longer angry with me?"
Bethany thinks before answering and then...
"Bzzz-zzzip".
"Beth, what did I tell you about spark kissing?"
"Spark kiss, goodbye kiss. Last time. Robin can make changes now".
"Thanks, Beth. I'll never forget you, I swear".
"Beth won'f forget Robin either".
In the evening, as a goodbye date, Robin and Bethany went together to a club. They played pool, had drinks, danced, and... well, they had a great time.
When they returned home, they watched the stars and the sunrise together.
First thing in the morning, Robin made the due changes to Bethany's trait chips. She no longer has the Capacity to Love, but their friendship is intact. Now Robin can take her and Five with him to Aurora Skies as a part of his new family.
