She wasnâ€™t too early, was she?

Pollyanna looked at her wrist, at a watch to make sure the time was right. Six thirty. That was when they agreed to get together, or at least from her memory. She had it written down on her hand for the longest time so she couldnâ€™t forget. After all, she had this sort of thing she kept in mind for awhile after the last voyage out. But this time, she had a mission set in stone from the beginning. This was no chance encounter. This wasâ€¦ A date.

The young lady had never really gone on those before. Let alone to somewhere so nice. She had broke the piggy bank to try to afford somewhere pleasant for them. She wanted to pay for herself on purpose. That way even more significance was given to this event. All she wished for was for things to go well. For tonight, and the future.

The evening was considerably warm, hence Pollyannaâ€™s attire. Taking a freedom to look a bit more put together than her usual gear of knit sweaters and shorts, she also had a chance to break out more spring clothes. But nothing too fancy. Just a white, short dress and a pair of brown boots. She had also managed to do her messy hair up, which was an endeavor in itself. But after all that nonsense she finally found herself waiting for their date to begin. This was so excitingâ€¦ And yet, a bit scary.

But why? Tellios was her friend. He understood who she was, and seemed to be learning more each day. She was comfortable being herself around him and yetâ€¦ Gah, this was all so new to her! Still she kept her optimism about her. Heâ€™d be here soon, to join her at the door of their date location. And the pretty restaurant with a garden in the back would already be waiting for them.

...Perhaps though, she should have considered a place that required a non-eating robot to eat...

It was damp where Tellios was.

Splash splash splash splash splash.

Was all that could be heard down a dark ally way. It had rained previously as he began to try to catch up to Pollyanna to where she was meeting him. He was late as he saw the time. He ran a bit faster as he then made it around a corner as he slowed down to see Pollyanna waiting anxiously. Though, Tellios was riddled with insecurities. He looked at her as he started to move towards the girl that he had asked out. Taking a moment to look at her he looked under dressed.

She was beautiful, the dress seemed to hang on her perfectly as he looked down noticed he wasn't too fancy as his nanites turned his attire to a more formal one as he pulled out a few roses that he had gotten earlier. He slowly walked up almost half ashamed he was late for a few minutes. He sighed as he came up behind Pollyanna and slowly put the roses out in front of her as he gently kissed her cheek from the other side.

"I wish for your forgiveness that you can forgive my tardiness Pollyanna."

He said lightly as he smiled. awaiting for Pollyanna to take the roses as he slowly pulled himself away from her as he looked at the doors. The place was relatively fancy. He had planned on paying for the night. He didn't want Pollyanna to pay. Her company was thanks enough as he looked over at her.

Tellios looked into her eyes. The Robot's eyes gazed in an admiring way. He wished to have eyes like hers. Real eyes. Something she could look into as well. He looked at the restaurant and then held the door open for his girlfriend.

To let her in first.

"After you."

Every few moments or so, Pollyanna would look at her watch. Not because she was nervous or anything. It gave her something to look as she waited... Okay yea, she was nervous. She just wanted things to go right, and didn't want to be stood up. But Tellios would never do that. She shook herself of the thought by glancing at the impending night sky, which comforted her slightly. It was too pretty of a night to be upset... Luckily for her, neither did she have a chance to.

For out of nowhere an arm grazed over her back as a kiss was unexpectedly planted on her cheek. Immediately Pollyanna turned around. That look of doubt quickly turned into an ecstatic smile. "Tellios! Oh no, it's totally cool. I-" Her voice was cut off with a quiet gasp as she soon found herself looking at a bouquet. Filled with beautiful roses, for her. "They're so pretty..." Pollyanna muttered, her tone low yet flattered. She took them gratefully. Her boyfriend already had made her beyond happy and the date hadn't even started yet. The young mutant stood on her toes briefly to plant a kiss on his forehead, before standing normally with a softer expression. "Thank you! Really!" She held the flowers tightly in her one hand, before nodding as he held the door open for her. This was going to be fun.

The front entrance of the restaurant was beautifully decorated. Their reservations were already set, though fortunately the place looked somewhat vacant already. She looked to Tellios, reaching down to lace her fingers in his hand. "You look nice, by the way." Pollyanna assured. She just hoped he was as excited as she was, and didn't mind how things would go as long as they went well. "I'm kinda nervous but... I know things will be alright." Just then, the hostess looked up at the two, and smiled.

"Miss Pollyanna and Mr. Tellios?"

Pollyanna nodded at her. "Yes ma'am."

The hostess nodded. "Just in time. Follow me."

Pollyanna looked back up her boyfriend, smiled, and pressed on with the hostess. She was getting a bit hungry anyway.

The night sky was beautiful, though that was the last thing on Tellios' mind at the time.

"Are you sure? I should have been a bit earlier. The flowers were no problem, I had a problem trying to find something as beautiful as you."

He said, slowly caressing her face for a moment then pulling his hand away.

She looked like she enjoyed the flowers, he was afraid that he was going to scare her. Or at least hit him for being late, or the unexpected surprise. Either way it was better than he thought so he decided to let sleeping dogs lie as he followed behind Pollyanna to their seat. He adjusted his tie a bit to not be so tight, even though he could auto adjust it, he didn't want to try to pull unwanted attention. That was bad.

So he got to their table. Table for two. Well... One to eat. He smiled as he slowly pulled out Pollyanna's chair to allow her to sit down first. When she was ready he slowly pushed the chair in to allow her to sit down before taking off his jacket and placing it on his chair as if the chair was wearing his jacket revealing that he was wearing a black dress vest, white shirt and a black tie under the jacket. He looked around the room and kind of gave it a scan. Not many students of the school. He thought he saw someone with some kind of metalic eye as well as one who wore a monocle having a cigar in his mouth but not lit as he shrugged. Teachers of the school maybe?

When the waitress began to give them the menus Tellios handed the menu back.

"I'll just take a glass of wine, please. Pollyanna will take what ever her heart desires."

He said as he slowly turned his head towards Pollyanna, just awaiting for the waitress to leave as he slowly folded his hands together and looked away from Pollyanna, as if trying to find something to say.

"I hope this is fine. I tried to get reservations for a while."

The gentle caress to her cheek had her thoughts soothed and her soul assured. It would be a wonderful evening, she just knew it. Good thing she was optimistic. He sat her down, to which she responded with a sweet 'thank you'. She placed the flowers on the table, and looked up at him as he readied himself to sit down. "Well, I'd say they're prettier than that. I honestly don't know what to say, you did a wonderful job picking them out." Pollyanna assured, looking at the deep red petals of the bunch. They really were lovely... Nobody had ever gotten her something like this before. She was taught that mutants like her didn't deserve much in life. Never mind a boyfriend who treated her so nicely this early in their relationship. She looked at his attire once more as he placed the jacket on his chair. A clear blush flashed across her deeply tanned cheeks. "Goodness, you do look handsome dressed up.... Not like you don't already I mean.. Haha..." She looked down swiftly at the menu placed in front of her. She wasn't used to complementing people. But he did look really nice! Besides, it was only proper to pay him a compliment as he did to her.

The waitress then diverted her attention off him and asked for her choice. She nearly forgot that he couldn't eat. Was this all for her then? It sort of made her feel bad if that was the case... "Oh um... Just your salad special please. And a glass of water. Thank you." The waitress soon nodded and proceeded back to the kitchen. Making note of their assumed varying appetites. Pollyanna looked back at Tellios, who hoped that she was happy with all this. Of course, everything was more than perfect for her.

A hand of hers slipped over his, as it was on the table. She weaved her fingers over his, to rest their palms against the table. "You didn't have to go through all this trouble to make this a good date. It already was when you kissed me hello." Pollyanna closed her eyes and smiled. Before opening them, and squeezing him briefly. "I forgot you didn't eat for a second. You sure all you want is wine? I would... Order it with you too. I'm old enough for it, but I dunno what it does. Does it taste good at least? You drink stuff like it all the time, and I was curious...." Pollyanna was innocent in all of everything. Maybe that would work against her.

Watcher · Apr 4, 2015

Tellios looked at his jacket as she spoke, he looked over at her. He smiled as he looked back at her. She enjoyed the flowers and his company so that was good. This date was going better than he had anticipated. He wasn't used to having someone like Pollyanna, who really didn't care about Tellios being a Robot, or what ever he was supposed to be.

"Thank you Pollyanna, I mean I wanted to impress you. Seeing on how I normally dress every day." He said as he adjusted his tie to try and knock back that he was a little flustered about what she said. He didn't think he looked good. Nothing to him that he did for the most part ever 'looked good'.

Tellios smiled as she ordered.

"Wine is fine. I just.. Have no sense of taste so I am unsure about how others react to Alcohol." He said. He made a note to just bring a bottle to the table and see where that lead them both. Either good or bad.

Tellios sighed a shook his head with a bright smile on his face. Almost beaming with happiness. He tightly grasped her hand in both of his for a brief moment. Looking into her eyes again. Her beautiful diamond eyes. He was lost in them. No matter how many maps he had. He spoke softly.

"Pollyanna, even if I do not need to eat, you do. This is for you. Not I. I wanted to spent time with you. Take you somewhere nice. Eat what you like my dear."

Batty · Apr 5, 2015

Pollyanna's eyes traced over his features. Only to see a bit of doubt on his face. Really, Pollyanna wasn't sure why. He was just like her in terms of emotion. Sure, he was all metal that could appear as something more human. Because of this Pollyanna noticed how he looked like he wanted to show her some sort of special feeling, and was only prevented from doing so She wasn't sure what he thought of himself in that respect. No matter what though he'd be a regular young man in her head. Just as she was a normal girl in his. Only a little furrier, depending on the situation.

"Consider me impressed. Everything is amazing" She assured, with a smile wide across her face. "I've never been anywhere quite so fancy. Never could really afford it, so this is a nice change. Plus, it's a good excuse for me to try to dress up. I usually don't wear dresses because I don't want them to get ruined with paint and clay." It was true. She wasn't the most coordinated of people, so wearing nice things would be pointless for her unless she was dedicated to being the most poised she could possibly be.

Which wasn't much, by the way.

"I guess this'll be a learning experience then." Polly's mindset changed when he too was curious about the effects of alcohol. She hadn't drunk yet, and it was also key to note that Polly had a pretty sheltered upbringing. Which brought up something. Nothing terrible really, but with Tellios' assuring touch and his soothing smile she felt comfortable confiding with him. "Can I tell you a little secret?" She paused for a moment. Whether he answered a yes or no, she'd begin to tell him the truth.

"I'm new to a lot of things too. Just like you a lot of this is new to me. Ever since I was a little girl I was just taught to keep myself hidden away, so I didn't scare anybody since I couldn't control when I shifted or not. So everything I've experienced... Well, it's mainly from here. This island. And a lot of things I'm learning are with you. And I'm happy that we get to learn things together!" Perhaps that much wasn't a secret. But... There were a few things he should know about her. For now though they'd have a good time. Regardless of why this event meant so much to her. "Hm...I just hope the wine is good. So I know what we can have to both enjoy."

He assured her that she could have anything to make her happy. No matter what the price. This sort of kindness was a bit forgein. So with the endearing referral to her she looked down to her lap, where she withdrew her hands a bit to brush away at a lock of hair that fell from her ponytail. "You're too kind, really." She smiled a bit as she looked back up again. He really was to her. Nicer than most humans, and open to what she was. Plus, the way he was trying to figure out what it meant to be human was kinda cute. "I want you to be satisfied on this date too, so if there's anything you want me to do don't hesitate to ask. I at least owe it to you anyway."

Tellios gave a few things some thought. He rubbed his chin and looked around the room. He was gauging exits and entrances. As well as normal patterns of people in the room and created a map for him. Of where people were, markers and all. He then looked at Pollyanna.

"Well, the night isn't over. I hope what else I have planned isn't too much, but I won't spoil it." he was happy she was enjoying the night already. "Well, either way, you are beautiful regardless, but the dress really matches your eyes."

He never really left work or even home. Using Nanites to go to class and take notes.

"You can tell me anything."

He smiled a bit that she was telling him this information. He was happy at this but wasn't impressed that someone kept this jewel away. This raw beautiful gem. "The same for me. Though I was kept in a room and told I was a real human just.. Different. That for years I could see my parents, but they don't exist." He said with a smile, he accept that. Just the name was a problem. "I would not want to learn anything like this with anyone else."

Was he being too kind? Tellios gave it some thought as he slowly pulled his hands to his side of the table and looked at them for a bit moment. Shaking his head he then looked at Pollyanna. "Is.. Being a nice a problem? He said with a few blinks of his eyes. He then smiled as he was waiting for his drink. "I am happy just to spend time with you outside of our room, doing something together."

Despite feeling a bit of worry, she maintained excitement that was only enhanced by him mentioning that there was more in store. She wanted to question him upon this, but perhaps it would be best to keep her curiosity at a low. She wanted things to happen as they did. For him to surprise her, as he continued to make her happy with pretty much everything he did for her. His gentle words had her grinning, as he continued to raise her beyond what she normally didnâ€™t give much thought to. "That much was a coincidence, I can tell you that. Thanks, thoughâ€¦ It really means a lot to me when you tell me I look okay." She assured in an easy voice, smiling up at him. That smile did waver quite a bit when he began to assure her that they really werenâ€™t all that different.

Aside from genetic makeup or lack thereof, Pollyanna had a history akin to Tellios. Being withheld from information, told what she could and couldnâ€™t do, growing up knowing she was an outcastâ€¦ She knew where Tellios came from this whole time. It was part of the reason why she was drawn to him. Still she didnâ€™t like to hear how he was treated. Human or not, he deserved to be given the civility of one. "They really shouldnâ€™t have lied to you like that." Pollyanna muttered, looking at him with a bit of a forlorn gaze. "Youâ€™re more than what that lab told you anyway. Just like me. They thought I wouldnâ€™t make it past a few years anyway which is why they left me behind in that lab butâ€¦ I guess we both got lucky. Someone took me in, you escaped all by yourselfâ€¦ And now weâ€™re here today. Itâ€™s impossible for us to deny what we truly are butâ€¦ I like my robot boyfriend for what he is." The corners of her lips turned up assuringly, moving past from the somberness of the moment before. "So when we do things together, I want you to keep that in mind. My adoptive dad always said that your flaws are what make you human. Not in a physical sense, butâ€¦ Theyâ€™re what brought us together like this, huh? These were all just musings going around Pollyannaâ€™s head. True, she saw the world a bit differently, but she saw it as something beautiful as well. At least she didnâ€™t have to be alone in figuring out what it all meant. Or so she hoped.

She cut herself off from her musings as he looked a bit concerned over her supposed compliment. Hoping she didnâ€™t worry him, she spoke up once more. "Oh no, thereâ€™s nothing wrong with it! Nothing at allâ€¦ All of this is just so new to me, I dunno what to even make of it sometimes." Speaking of something different, the waitress arrived back with the bottle of wine, an opener, and two glasses, as well as the glass of water for Pollyanna. Seeing as Tellios had ordered this alcohol exclusively, it was only fair that he enjoyed it prior to her. "Oh, after you." She smiled.

"More than okay." He said with a smile on his face as he looked around the room once more. He then looked at Pollyanna as he slowly took his glass of wine as it was placed on the table and poured for the two glasses and smiled. He then put a glass infront of Pollyanna and then took a small sip of the wine as he put the glass on the table.

It was.. Bland. To him anyways. He smiled a bit as he the held the glass up for a moment as he awaited to make a toast to Pollyanna. To her beauty, to her. His smiled almost lit up the room for a moment.

"They did to make me submit to their demands. To their wants. Eventually. I gave in." He chuckled for a bit as he shook his head. "Not for long till I started asking the right questions. Then the world was twisted."

"Enough of this though for now. A toast to Humanity."

He said awaiting for Pollyanna to tap the glasses together before taking a drink. She would find it extremely sweet though. He wanted to see her reaction and was going to take his time trying to study her. Through her heart rate as well as another few things through. Through the nanite that had kept on her person this whole time.

"Maybe being nice is a little new to me as well." He said with a smile and a light chuckle. "Sounds like I am good at it already."

He took another sip of his drink as he then logged some time stamps of the date as he was going. He wanted to get to know Pollyanna a bit better. Besides her beauty he wanted to get more into her. Her likes, her hobbies as well as what she loves other than art.

"I like my Bat-Girlfriend too." He said with a warm smile as he looked at her then into his wine glass for a moment.
