Description Poor Poor Is gonna kill me XD I just blew his After Landing Series outta the freakin water man..Its all that Mechanic Character of his fault I swear!

Well I guess I should explain this but Im gonna have to avoid Spoiler for the AL series in general cuz I kno all MUHAHAHA AND IM NOT TELLING YOU XD:

703 years before After Landing...

Humans only saw robots as tools and nothing more. Of course at this time, humanity was suffering greatly from their own mistakes, greed and selfishness, as a result they created robots to do their own dirty work so humans wouldn't have to lift a single finger, however one human boy was not blind to the stress and changes going on around him. He didn't understand why Humans and Robots could not work as one. Once he asked his father this question who in reply laughed and said;

"Robots are mere tools my dear son, they do not feel, nor have room to feel. Don't waste you thoughts on them. They serve us to make our lives easier, that is all you need to know."

The boy sighed and only bowed respectively to his father, but the question still lingered in his mind. The boy himself had no friends, only a pet, who of course was not like the other children in the city pets, but that did not bother him. Knowing the awkwardness of his thoughts he went out searching for a single robot to befriend and maybe, just maybe together show humanity their wrongs and prevent a darkening and sad future that was awaiting not only their own lives but the very Earth at the time.

The Boy searched but none of the robots he encountered seemed worthy of his friendship. They were all too high on the priority list. He wanted to find one he could relate to, one as low on the food chain as he felt he was, so he ventured to the city dump. He found his robot all right but which one? So many of the same, all with the same Directive; Cleaning up Garbage. Then the boy spotted one, and even though the same it was different from the others, being all rusted and worn out; On it last legs. The boy approached the tattered bot and smiled at it.

"Would you like to be my friend?" The boy asked. The Robot just stood there, then took a pile of cans sitting near the boy and crushed them into a cube.

"Little robot, my directive is to be your friend. If humans made you, you must surely have some human qualities built into you." The boy smiled at the bot again. This time the bot just stared at the boy with its Binocular like eyes.

The boy went on for hours trying to convince the little garbage bot to listen to him but it was starting to grow useless.

"I guess there's just no changing your directive little robot." The boy sighed. "Its so sad that you cannot think for yourself, think of your own directives. I am sorry to have bothered you." But as the boy was about to walk away the bot made a weird sound. The boy looked back at the bot.

"Di..directive?" The bot managed to say. The boy smiled and lent out his hand.

"Friendship." The boy replied. "That is my directive, do you want it to be yours too?"

The Bot looked almost hesitantly at the boys hand, not realizing he too was trying to reach out his own. The boy once more smiled at the bot.

"Its alright, I'm not like the others, I promise you that. I know you are special. You are different, just like me."

The little Garbage Bot finally relaxed its eyes and placed its hand in the humans and for the first time, Human and Robot were one.

"Friendship." The Bot replied. "Directive. Want. Friendship."

The boy was thrilled with his new friend. Even though they had to keep this new found bond a secert, their friendship only grew more and more but of course like all good things, their friendship would be interupted by a force taken over by greed.

One day a man approuched the two. All he did was laugh at the very sight.

" Foolish boy. Robots are not our friends. And to think you thought you could change what has been written since the dawn of time?"

The boy stood up to the man, angered by his hatered toward their friendship.

"If given the chance." The boy replied in his calm reassuring voice. "Robots and humans could work together. Just look around you. Is this what we want? A world so polluted not only with toxins but with Selfishness and ignorance?"

The man only laughed at the boy again.

"That is why we made him." He points to the Grabage bot. "Now perhaps if you would let him do his job, our world will become a better place!"

"No." The boy shook his head. "You don't get it at all. Robots can't do this alone, they need to aid of their human makers! We cannot reduce ourselves to such lazyness. Dont you see what our future is heading for?"

The man frowned at the boy and took out a long silver cane, which had electricty running through it.

"Poor poor Human boy. IF you so badly want to be one with robots...then that can be arranged! I have come to far to let a mere boy and a garbage bot stand in the glorious future I have foreseen!"

The man charged at the boy with the silver cane. The Garbage bot seeing that his human friend was in danger jumped in front of the boy, the cane piecing his metal body but that was not enough to protect his young friend for it pierced right through to the boy.

The last thing the boy ever felt was pain. The piercing pain of electricity running through his body with a mix of the pain of the loss of his robot friend in his heart and then..Darkness.

When to boy woke, it was some time later. He only woke up to find the Earth completely abandoned. His worst fears for his own kind came true, but that was not all. He didnt wake up like he was used to from a slumber, no. Once awake he felt an odd need for sunlight. He..needed..sunlight. That's when he noticed...that's..when..he...noticed....he himself was sealed in the very body of his now dead friend.

Okay thats all im saying for now XD Completely off the top of my head there, just came to me this morning! The rest of the sketch you will have to figure out yourselves! XD
