If I only had a friend, Eric thought as he was getting dressed. A true friend.
When Eric got home from school he went straight to his room. As he opened the door his jaw dropped. His room was a disaster. He thought only two words: little sister.
“Lindsay!” he called. “Did you tear my room apart!”
“Me?” She asked. “I'm only three.”
“Yeah, I forgot.” He said.
That night, Eric was lying in bed thinking about the catastrophe in his room and that's when he heard it. Someone or something was in his room. As he walked towards his closet to check it out, he saw it. There, The Robotic Alien was going through his clothes. Eric was so startled and frightened that he just froze. Then it talked in a very weird voice,
“Very strange, you are.”
"Wow!" Eric said. "Whats up with the Yoda accent?"
"Yoda?" The robot asked confused.
This is cool he thought. Even though it looks like a monster, it's really friendly.
“Whats your name?” Eric asked forgetting it was a robot.
To his surprise the the robot answered.
“Bob, my name is.”
At that moment Eric knew he had found it. Not a monster, not even a robot, but a true friend.
