In 2072 a time where meaning has become meaningless. Where surprises have become a repetition. Where the little and simple no longer existed, where no more enjoyment existed. It was a time of nothingness. For an AI traveling through different areas nothing was different, no tasteful fashion or art, everyone was dull and boring. The AI has no means of learning anything new because there was nothing new. That is until he met the boy who would impact his life for good. On a fruitful evening a hopeful moonlight lit night the AI was wandering through a town that it never visited before called “Dry”. It’s funny why the name was chosen when it was quite the opposite in this town. The air was fresh and new, the breeze of the wind was air light and smelled inspiring. The AI was intrigued. Walking on a road that smelled like candy and the clouds were made out of a fluffy substance. Things were different here. Life was more inspiring, although it was night you could begin to feel that life was blooming here and hope was still a hopeful feeling. Unsure where to go the AI continued down the street. There were little modern homes each with different types of shapes like some looked like apples, some looked like trees. It was like this town was not affected by time, it was peacefully inclined and beautifully projected. This fascinated the AI with even more curiosity, as it advanced through the main long street of the “Dry” town. After walking for hours and absorbing all sorts of scenery, the AI grew tired. It sat down at a huge tree near a forest at the end of the road which it had finally reached. It reached out a sketchbook and began to draw the scenery. Drawing every little detail of what it encountered. From the bumpy but smooth grey textured road. To the homes that shone with its audacity and lights and different colors painted on the outer exterior walls. The grass that glistened with rainbow colors they were beautiful lights. It was a vintage feel with an add of eccentricity and modernity. After drawing every little detail, the AI began to look up and stare into the fascinating darkness above with bright little stars. The sky was embracing the AI with a show of dancing stars and glistening meteor shower. As in this time even humans were robotic emotionally and empty, except there were people in this town that were different like the AI was. Standing out with a personality, taste and curiosity. This AI never felt at ease or relaxed in the other areas that it had encountered. After all, his creator had the biggest heart in the world metaphorically speaking. Andrea the AI’s creator was a visionary, who enjoyed to travel, to wander in the world and to take the time to enjoy his surroundings while remaining peaceful and empathetic. After his years of traveling through the world and enjoying the simple things of life, Andrea’s spirit slowly was diminishing, he was dying. Obsessed with having an heir and wanting to have his dreams continued on, he took a child that was abandoned and broken physically and emotionally made him into a hybrid AI slash human. First of its kind unique and different. A successful toy, but not a boy. Tired of being a toy, the AI left to be a boy. Venturing in unknown places and continuing his creator’s dreams while working on finding his own dreams and purpose. All the venturing through life it led him here to this little town a hidden gem that may be the only one left in the world of dull. And he was loving it. The AI hybrid got up from the spot he was chilling at and began to enter the forest. Before entering he closed his small notebook and put it in his pocket. He began to walk into the forest and saw little butterflies with wings that had a glow in the dark floating aura on them. The colors were bright pink and a very light white. He smiled and reached out with his arm hoping that maybe the butterfly would land on his metallic left arm. And his wish became true the little butterfly sat on his arm and smiled with its cute little face. He began to feel at home in an unfamiliar place, a place where he could finally rest and feel at ease. The AI looked at the smiling butterfly and smiled back, the butterfly then flew away. The AI resumed walking through the forest and encountering nature’s gift and wonders. After walking for a couple minutes, he reached the beach and there he was. A tall beautiful boy with red hair, wearing a white shirt and black checkered boxers. The AI curiously looked at the boy from afar, the boy then noticed the AI. Walked towards the it and then said:

“Hey there, who are you and your little friend?” The boy said pointing to the little butterfly that had flew back on the AI’s shoulder.

The AI looked over its shoulder and noticed the cute butterfly had followed him. The AI blushed and smiled back at the boy.

“Oh, I guess my little friend followed me here. I don’t have a name what about you?”

The boy smiled. It was a smile that you can never forget that marked you in your heart and it truly marked the AI’s heart.

“My name is Life! I want to name you Aiden is that cool?”

Before Aiden had a time to respond Life kissed Aiden on the cheek.

Aiden confused flustered, highly excited unsure what to feel, except he did. He started feeling alive.

“Um thanks, so I guess my name is Aiden now. Nice to meet you Life, but um why did you kiss me ha-ha?”

Life began to blush and said,

“I don’t know you look cute!”

Aiden blushed so did Life, but they both liked the connection they didn’t have but the connection that they felt they would have together. Aiden found more than his place on the world he found life. The boy with a careless smile brightened his world. And from then on, they could face this dull world together!
