He reached his room and Tee was there waiting for him.
?So what did the Commander say?? the robot asked after pausing his program that he was watching
?He said as long as the pilot doesn?t black out, he will allow the operation to proceed?
?All right I?m going to power down and charge after I?m done with this show, see you in the morning? Tee un-paused the video feed and continued watching it. Cale changed to his sleeping clothes and went down to lie on his bed. He decided to call Salen, his surfer girl friend back on the U.E.A. capitol of Earth on the tropical island of Hawaii. He remembered how they met on the beach and how one thing led to another and they eventually had the time of their lives. He recalled the day he met her like it was just yesterday... He was walking on a board walk in some gray cargo pants and a color full shirt he bought in one of the many tourist trap shops, near one of Hawaii?s many beaches, a little tropical island in the pacific ocean of The U.E.A.. Tee was in vehicle mode and was glad that the sand was swept away daily for aesthetic purposes and for his benefit that his inner workings wouldn?t encrust with sand. Cale used his goggles for sunglasses by only placing a small set of shields in front of them so he wouldn?t have to strain his eyes to adjust in the bright tropical sunlight of the little island. He was getting some air, tacking in the sweet tasting island air some sun and looking at some of the various sun bathing girls, looking over them using the zoom on his goggles to take in their oiled bodies. Then as if lightning had struck, he saw her. She was lying on the beach drying off from a surfing session and tanning. She had the figure you could only find on those outdoors girls. She was tall and very cute. He figured out that she was a surfer girl because of the custom made long board planted upright in the sand behind her. She had a rich brown tan and no burns from any previous tans and he saw that she had no tan line only un broken tanned skin. She was wearing a rash guard, with red short sleeves and white base, which matched the red and white flowered surf trunks she was wearing. She was lying on her stomach and had her rash guard rolled up to her neck and was tanning. Her hair was wet and had sand in it. It was parted to her right so it wouldn?t get in the way of her tanning. Her hair was what caught Cale: It was a pure white color with silver highlights and was elbow length and strait. Cale completely stopped and used his goggles to take in the contour of her curvy, slim body by using the zoom function. She sat up and rolled down her rash guard and he noticed that she had nothing else underneath when he saw her bear back. He swallowed hard in hope that she would turn around to look at him. She wiped her hair back in a motion that seemed was in slow motion. She picked up a bottle of sun oil and started to rub in a copious amount on her, careful not to spill any on her towel. Cale noted even though she was still shiny from the previously rubbed oil she applied another coat on. After she was done she gathered her hair and started to brush the sand out with a brush from her duffel bag nearby. Cale looked on, taking in the exotic soft beauty of the girl as she brushed her long hair and watching the smooth glistening skin of the oil on her body shimmer in the mid after noon sun.
Tee noticed that Cale had stopped. He knew Cale well, if Cale stopped to look at something it was either a ship, or a girl and Cale did not stop for girls often. He taped in to Cale?s goggle P.O.V. and saw what made Cale freeze suddenly. It was a girl. He knew that even who knows why Cale stopped for her, he figured that maybe he just wanted to look at her wet tanning figure and her white hair. Even though there where other exotic girls on the beach with a wild selection of colored hair he figured that Cale liked the one he was looking at in particular because she was tanning. When he noticed that the zoom function was being used he then knew that Cale wasn?t really looking at the girl?s shape or her oiled tanned skin, he liked the girl. Tee decided to help speed the action up a bit. He converted to hover mode and flew over to the nearest exit of the wooden board walk and flew low over the sand to the girl. When he was close enough he converted to his humanoid mode and walked even closer to the girl. The girl stopped combing her hair and noticed that Tee was next to her. She asked
?Are you looking for someone?? She asked in a soft curious voice.
?Yes? Tee answered in a disguised old British accent rather from his New Yorker Brookline accent ?In fact I am looking for you. My owner, creator so to say, he built me you know, he seems to have taken an interest in you and judging by his goggle P.O.V. visual I say he was ogling your shapely figure and your white hair?
?Really? I thought he was looking over to the beach on the other island.?
?I don?t think so and by judging how you where teasing him I say you knew that he was looking at you and you where just tantalizing him to see if he really was looking at you because he liked you not for your looks?
?You caught me,? she giggled ?I was teasing him and I did know that he was looking at me. On a note, I did not know who was looking, but I knew it was a guy. How did you know I was teasing him??
?I study human psychology and human body language on the holonet? Tee stated smartly. Tee seemed to swell with pride at the fact that he was smarter than most robots.
?Oh, I thought that robots did only menial tasks or only read when they where told to?
He replied ?Well, that is what most of us do, but some of us are given an independent learning mind and that allows us to have the ability to learn on our own. It also lets us develop our own persona? Tee stated proudly
?Then you are a learning robot. I don?t meet many learning robots, most of them are the ones that clean my house and manage my bills? she said
?Ah, yes, the typical thinking that robots are slaves and they are the perfect workers to take the boring chores and tasks since they have no ?souls?. To tell you the truth, we are not the third class citizens most people think we are. I am fortunate enough that my creator treats me as an equal. Yes, I am a learning robot if that was your question. In other matters, what is your name?
?My name is Salen?
?I have one personal question, two in fact. First, how old are you??
Salen smiled ?I?m not telling if you can just figure that out for yourself? she giggled
?All right, second question, and I mean no offense in this next one, believe me, and is that your natural hair color??
?Yes, some of my ancestors where from Antarctica and they developed a gene for white hair.? She flipped her hair ?Are you going to show me your creator??
?Don?t worry Salen, soon, soon enough. Thanks for the information? And with that Tee jumped and converted to hover mode in midair and flew off. He locked to Cale?s homing beacon and when he was sure that Salen was far enough that she would not see him, he turned back towards Cale?s signal and converted to his vehicle mode when he landed.
?Her name is Salen, she is going on sixteen in five months and that is her natural hair color, due to some ancestors of Antarctica. Boy, does she know how to make a robot feel appreciated? He had his original New Yorker Brookliner accent.
?How did you get her name and all that?? Cale asked surprised.
?I asked her strait out with no hesitation. I think I know why you like her.?
?How do you know I like her?? Cale questioned ?It?s obvious by the way you looked at her and the way you stopped so abruptly. I also have your goggle P.O.V. and that sure lends a lot of evidence to my theory?
Cale threw his head back in realization, remembering how he used the zoom function on his goggles to observe her
?All right then you caught me in the act. Well then I?m going to go meet her and ask her out.? Tee looked up at him in surprise at the direction the situation was going
?So soon? Well, I mean, I thought you only stopped for her looks?? He implied
?Nope. I heard her and saw her and she is definitely the one I have been looking for, my soul mate. She has the body and I already like her charm, she?s my age, and her hair color drives me crazy. You?re not the only one with access to P.O.V.s?
?Of yeah I forgot about that. How are you so sure? You just saw her and you have not even met her eye to eye directly.?
?Believe me, when you meet the right person you just know!? And with that Cale hoped over the boardwalk wall and walked to the girl. Salen was waiting for Cale but she did not know how he would look like, she only hoped that he was a guy worth kissing and good enough to have a long, loving, lasting relation ship with. Well, when Cale walked over she saw the most wondrous creature walking toward her. She was stunned that Cale was just a regular guy but she knew that it was something else that was between them. She just knew it was electricity between them like a power plant generator running at full capacity. Cale finally saw her without his goggles and she was even more beautiful than with out the zoom function. He saw her eyes, rainbow irises and her hair flowing in the wind with silver highlights in her long white hair and her perfectly sculpted, slender contoured figure.
?Hi, I?m Cale.?
?Salen,? she smiled ?your robot has told me about the way you looked at me? She implied.
?His name is Tee and he is right, it?s an experience for me just watching you. I have never set them on anything more soothing than the blue arcs of my solder before you came along? Tee was shaking his head at the possibly lame line that Cale pulled.
?I haven?t laid my eyes on anything more soothing than the swaying palm trees of this little island? Tee was listening from the board walk and was surprised at the way the girl took the suggestion ?Want to go out?? Cale asked.
?I was waiting for you to ask me that,? she smiled ?8 o?clock at my place, Tee already has my address, and I?ll treat you to a night you won?t forget? She smiled again.
?And like wise I? he said and with that she got up and started to put her stuff away. She wrapped her towel around her waist and put her brush and oil inside her duffel bag. She picked up her long board and walked away, her bottom shacked from side to side in the towel while she walked barefoot across the dunes of the beach to the wooden plank board walk.
He noticed his slight dribble and quickly wiped it off. Salen knew that she was teasing him and smiled as she walked away. She winked at him, and he not knowing what to do, he waived back at her. She giggled and he ran his hand through his hair not sure how to respond so he gave her a smirk which in his opinion she took well. They both said good-bye and went there own directions both getting ready as possible for the night ahead of them...and that was how it all started for him and her and how they had the time of their lives together.
