Simone is seen holding a cupcake, looking it over. She feels a hand on her shoulder and glances up, instantly regretting it.

Mike: hello hot stuff!

Simone: *sigh* hello...

Mike: I just so happen to have a free weekend. I was wondering if you'd be willing to go out to dinner with me, or, we could always skip straight to the fun part. Ehehe!

Simone: for the last time. You are 17, I'm 20. I literally hate you so much, but, even if I somehow wanted to, it would be illegal!

Mike: only illegal if someone snitches, and I definitely wouldn't tell a soul.

Simone: fuck off. You're gonna tell that stupid friend group of yours.

Mike:... eeeeeehhhhh...

Simone rolls her eyes.

Simone: get back to work before I get my father. You're lucky my dad is friends with yours or you would be fired a long time ago!

Mike: ok ok, chill out.

He walks away. Simone went back to the cupcake she was working on. She powers it on, the eyes look left, then right, then to her.

Simone:... hello...

The cupcake's lower eyelids raise, giving a happy expression. Simone walks through the grey stone walls of the factory. She reaches a door labeled: "boss". She knocks before opening.

Simone: hey dad! Wanna see what I made?

Max: oh! Sure sweetheart!

Simone closes the door behind her and places the cupcake on the desk.

Max:... you did this?

Simone: yep!

Max: it's great! You programmed an AI to act on its own?

Simone: yep! I-I thought it could help make the mascots more... realistic?

Max: yes! Absolutely! This will make so much of the programming easier! Tell me how you did it!

Simone felt happy to help her father out. She had grown closer to him over the time she was with him, and she wanted to help him with anything he needed.

Anything.
