Taking the small device, Opal's eyes went blank as she began transferring the song data into her own database. After a couple seconds, she blinked, siled, and handed the MP3 Player back to Felix. "Data has been transfered and saved. Now playing requested song." Sitting on the ground and opening her mouth, music poured out and filled the room.

"Good very good." The woman said, rubbing her gloved black hands toghter, "Hullo modell, you are now mineee." The woman said, "Come with me now." The woman said, leading him out. "Remember sir," She stopped to address the store keeper, "No one can knowww."

Felix smiled down at Opal, "Wow you sure are awsome. Heh, this is probably a bit self-centered, but would you mind coming outside with me to meet my friends? I sort of want to show you off to them. All of them have 'coms yet I've never owned any more than a cheap laptop."

Opal closed her mouth and got up obediently. "Okay!" she said, grinning. The prospect of meeting more humans was exciting for her and she eagerly followed Felix. "A laptop? What is a laptop?" she asked, curious as ever about the many devices in the world she had yet to learn about.

"Affirmative," the persocom said, rather coldly. He still had the military protocols installed to him, and would have to be re-programmed for his attitude to change.

"Ah well, no surprise you don't know about them. They wen't out of fashion more than twenty years ago. See they are like books sorta, and they do a lot of what 'coms do, just not as good or well, and they are not convient at all." Felix said, leading her to the front door as he talked. Quickly he put on jacket and shoes and stepped outside, a light snow was falling, but still an inch or two stuck to the ground, "Careful" he cautioned as they walked.
A few minutes of walking and they were at a group of kids, "Hey guys, this is Opal, my new 'com, what do you think?"
----------
She lead him outside, going back the way she came. About ten minutes of walking and they were in an apartment complex. The woman put a key into a door, and stepped in, motioned for the 'com to follow. Once inside she pulled off the black over coat she was wearing, "Welcome." She said, her voice now cherry and bright, her eyes alight with happiness. A different person altoghter.

"Awaiting orders, ma'am," he said, scanning the new place. "Hold this position?" he asked her.

Opal listened carefully and stored all the info in her files. Heeding Felix's words, she stepped carefully across the snow, fascinated by the white, powdery stuff floating down from the sky. She didn't have a chance to ask Felix about it though as they had reached their apparent destination. A group of kids, ages similar to her master's, stood crowded together. As she was introduced in ways, Opal smiled as always. "Hello," she greeted them.

"Wow, look at her!" One cried. "This must have cost a fortune." Another said. "Opal, wasn't that the name of your dog?" "You scored big time!"
And on it went, Felix beemed proudly. "Ah yes, my grandfather got her for me. Well Opal this is, Alex, Jeff, Jarad, Ryan, and Kyle." He said, pointing to each in turn. "They are my friends. Oh hey Opal play AFI's Miss Murder for us please, I want to show them how awsome you are at playing music files!" Felix cried, acting like a three year old who just go their favorite toy.
---------
"Ah chill out. Augh, that raspy snake lady voice really messes up my throat, but it does seem to get the point across." The woman said, "Well enough of that I am Lina, hacker name; Pixie. Ever heard of me? I hack those big military files for a large price, lately it is getting harder since they are putting up even more blocks, so I got you. Now to name you, what do you want to be named?" She said, rambling a bit.

"Pixie? Negative, no data file exists," he said, still monotone. "I am Model #0138M, that is my name," he answered.

"Negative!!!" Lina cried out, "You must be an old model or something 'cause they've got the FBI on my ass. Model, psssh, I am gonna name you and that is what you shall go by, now sit down, your emotionless attitude is bothersum, I'm going to reprogram you a bit, make you more cheery. Open your port." Lina said, authority in her voice.

Opal just stood by listening to their conversations, giggling to herself. As Felix said the boys' names, she recorded them down in her memory, one by one to make sure she didn't lose them. "Name's recorded. Files saved. Playing requested song," she said at his command. Sifting through her song files, Opal found the needed one within a millisecond and opened her mouth once more, The song's tinkling beginning filtered out and continued to pour out of the doll's vocal cords. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpEnMOMXo1w

Once the song ended, all the boys clapped, as if they had been watching some big concert more than just a Persocom replaying a song. Then they gathered around her, none actually touching her, but looking at her. "What model is she? I haven't even seen this one come out in the Com Magazines yet." Kyle asked.

She answered that one for Felix. "I am Model #3357999. I am one of the newest Models of Persacoms that has recently been on sale," Opal chirped, swinging her tail around happily. "We have not yet been published fully to the public yet."

"Oh I see." Kyle said, with new awe this time, lighting his eyes. "Wow."
"FEEEELLLIIXXX!" Came a loud cry from the distance.
"I've gotta go, mum's calling, I'll be out later today if it doesn't get to cold." Felix said, "C'mon Opal, maybe my mom will let me show you around town a bit before it gets to cold to be outside." Felix mused, leading her back to his house.
Inside he asked his mother, and she said yes as long as he called her if he needed any help. Back outside again, Felix began to walk out of the neighborhood, "Well this is how you get out of here." He said, standing at the enterance to the road.

"Affirmative," the persocom said, and opened the data port. "Ready for data input," he said.
