As Scarlet lives longer in the Nor Universe, she gets more and more bored everyday. She genuinely felt empty and sad. Nor eventually asked her about it, when they were working at Foodstart.

"Hey Scarlet, why so sad?" Nor approached upon to her, asking.

"Eh, I don't know, you know that I was technically built to destroy you, right?" Scarlet said.

"You were?" Nor said, confused.

"Yeah? You didn't know? I thought I told you about this like a week ago." Scarlet said.

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmm......oh yeah, anyway want a burger?" Nor said and finally remembered what she was talking about.

"Nor, I'm a robot. I don't get hungry." Scarlet said.

"Water?" Nor said, then handed a water bottle.

"I don't get thirsty either, well I drink gasoline though." Scarlet said.

"Okay, so you were built to destroy me, by who?" Nor said.

"By Goop, come on, I just told you." Scarlet said, in an irritated voice.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....oh yeah, sorry I have bad memory." Nor said and remembered what she was saying. 

"It's fine, I just kind of don't have a purpose to, I dunno, live or something, since we're friends now." Scarlet said.

"Come on! You get to do pretty much anything in this world! Like work at Foodstart, or uhhh...video games!" Nor said.

"Yeah, but it's the same thing everyday and I'm alone doing that most of the time." Scarlet said.

"Cheer up! Maybe because it's late at night, I get sad at that time too." Nor said.

"It's literally 8 in the morning...Oh screw it, I'm going home." Scarlet said, more irritated than before and started walking away.

"Huh? Why?" Nor asked.

Scarlet didn't respond, she seemed more like she was thinking about Nor's question.

"Scarlet?" Nor said, in a worried voice.

Scarlet didn't respond again and this time, she was out of Nor's sight.

During most of the day, Nor kept thinking about Scarlet. He felt like he did something wrong, but didn't know what he exactly did. After some hours, he went back to his house.

"Hi, Stretcher." Nor said, while opening the front door of his house. He said it sadly.

"Heyyy Nor! Why do you sound so sad?" Stretcher asked.

"Scarlet, she's not feeling like herself today, she's sad." Nor said.

"Aw, doesn't sound good, why though?" Stretcher asked again.

"I don't really know why, it was about like, uh, her apparently being a robot made by a guy named Goop to destroy me but we're friends now so she says she doesn't have a purpose." Nor asked.

"Hmmm, maybe she just needs a friend that could be there with her everyday! Like us being together doing stuff everyday!" Stretcher said.

"Sure, but where would she get one?" Nor asked.

"She could talk to people like the people you work with in Foodstart. Maybe people in the internet too?" Stretcher said.

"I'm not sure if she has a computer or phone, but maybe the Foodstart one could work. Thanks Stretcher!" Nor said.

"Anything for you! Can you get my spaghetti leftovers in the fridge by the way?" Stretcher asked.

"Yeah, sure." Nor said.

One day later...

Nor went to work at Foodstart to talk to Scarlet but he had realized she wasn't here, so he went to Scarlet's house. He knocked the door.

Scarlet was tired but opened the door. "Uhm, hey. I'm doing okay if you were wondering about that." Scarlet said.

"Oh! That's good, I was really worried about you yesterday, do you want to take a walk with me and maybe talk about it?"

"Eh, I feel lazy, but you can tell me whatever you were gonna say." Scarlet said.

"I've talked to Stretcher about this, so is there maybe a chance you could try making friends? Like maybe our co workers in Foodstart?" Nor said.

"I've tried to before, but they either ignored me or were just plain stupid and didn't know what they were saying. I guess it makes sense since it's practically your universe." Scarlet said.

"Really? I think they're pretty nice." Nor said.

"It's probably because you have been there longer than me, dunno why they act like that." Scarlet said.

"Oh, well I guess that's all I have to say." Nor said.

"Alright, bye." Scarlet said, then closed the door.

Nor still felt like Scarlet was still sad, so he tried to come up with something again that could make her happy. He thought about it when he was working at Foodstart. He thought about it hard but couldn't think about anything. He eventually asked Stretcher about it again when Nor got home later that day.

"Hey, Stretcher." Nor said when he opened the door to their house.

"Hey buddy! How did it go?" Stretcher said.

"How did what go? Wait, do you mean the spaghetti contest earlier?" Nor said.

"What? No, silly! About Scarlet!" Stretcher said.

"Oh, well not sure how to explain it, but I still feel like she was still sad after that." Nor said.

"I've ran out of ideas, sorry man." Stretcher said.

"It's alright, I'll figure it out." Nor said.

"Was there maybe anything else that happened that day when Scarlet started being sad?" Stretcher said.

"Well she told me that she drinks gasoline and doesn't eat since she's just a robot, I didn't know she was one. Maybe I should get gasoline for her though." Nor said.

"Man, get better eyes! I knew she was a robot at day one! Also, sure thats a good idea." Stretcher said.

"Ah, shut up. Actually, I probably should. Man, I'm tired." Nor said.

"Anyways, wanna read really long fan fics of object shows? I found a website called "Not an Archive of Their Own" which has a bunch of them." Stretcher said.

"What's an object show again?" Nor asked.

"You know, gay inanimate animate objects fighting for a cool prize." Stretcher said.

"I don't remember you telling me that." Nor said and scratched his head.

"I told you about that like earlier this morning. Haha, you really are demented!" Stretcher said.

"Well!!! Uhh....I don't have a comeback." Nor said.

"You'll get there! You still wanna read the fanfic?" Stretcher said.

"Yeah sure, what could there be possibly something wrong with it?" Nor said.

5 minutes later.

"Oh, what the fuck." Nor said, while Stretcher was just pale and looking surprised.

278 minutes later.

"I don't think we should scroll further. This is just, ugh." Nor said.

Stretcher beside him was just sleeping. He probably slept like 20 minutes ago and Nor didn't notice. He went to go to his bed to sleep, but he saw Scarlet's silhouette in the corner of the room and Stretcher was suddenly gone. Nor was shivering a lot, but went up to the silhouette. He touched and then-

Nor suddenly woke up, it was 10 in the morning and Stretcher was beside the window who was watching Nor wake up.

Well that was a weird fucking dream, Nor thought.

"Oh, hey buddy! Good morning!" Stretcher said.

"Yo dude, I just had a weird dream about uhhhhhh.....I forgot." Nor said, but he could still remember Stretcher being in it.

"Whatever! It was probably nothing, also you were talking when you were sleeping." Stretcher said.

"Oh, I think I remember! I told you about Scarlet and then uhhhhhh........I forgot." Nor said.

"Yeah, you told me about Scarlet last night and then you fell asleep! Man, you were really tired that day, I had to carry you to your bed!" Stretcher said.

"Wow. That's so cool! Anything else stupid I did that night?" Nor said,

"You were also drooling and snoring when you were sleeping, you don't usually do that. That's about it." Stretcher said.

"Oh well, I think I'm late for work, I'll see you later!" Nor said, then went out of the house.

"Bye!" Stretcher said while waving to Nor. 

Nor eventually got to Foodstart and was surprised to see Scarlet there.

"Hi Scarlet, are you feeling any better now?" Nor said.

"No, our manager forced me to work here today since I didn't go the other day." Scarlet said, in an irritated voice.

"That sucks. You want a gallon of gasoline? I brought it for you!" Nor asked.

"Sure." Scarlet said.

After a good 10 minutes of chugging, Scarlet finally finished the entire thing.

"That was nice, I'm still depressed though." Scarlet said.

"Aw, you want another gallon?" Nor said.

"Maybe in a few days, I think I'm about to puke from drinking all of that." Scarlet said.

"Alright." Nor said.

Nor and Scarlet worked for atleast 3 hours, until they could finally sign off their shifts and go home. Nor still thought a lot about Scarlet.

"Hey, maybe you wanna play video games with me and Stretcher tomorrow! Or maybe watch a movie!" Nor said.

"No thanks." Scarlet said.

"Are you sure? It's your favorite movie too!" Nor said.

"Already watched it too many times, got bored of it." Scarlet said.

"Maybe it will snow tomorrow! And we can do snowball fights!" Nor said.

"Nor, we are in the middle of the summer." Scarlet said.

"But mayb-" Nor said.

"NO! I don't wanna do stuff tomorrow! Leave me alone!" Scarlet shouted angrily at Nor.

"Oh.." Nor said, with a sad face.

Scarlet started walking again, but both of them were silent this time. Scarlet felt bad for shouting at him, but was too scared to say sorry while Nor was sad. They both eventually went back to their houses.

"Sup! How was work today?" Stretcher said.

"Uhm, Scarlet was here today but she was still sad and she shouted at me." Nor said.

"Man, she must be getting mood swings today! I saw her earlier when she was leaving the house and I waved and she just ignored me!" Stretcher said.

"Yeah, we gotta do something about this. Oh yeah, I remember that she said that she needs a friend." Nor said.

"What if we got Scarlet a robot friend?" Stretcher said.

"That's a good idea! We can build one too!" Nor said, in a delightful manner.

"How do we build one though?" Stretcher asked.

"Maybe we can get scraps from a store and watch tutorials in the internet?" Nor said.

"Sure! We can start tomorrow!" Stretcher said.

By the time Stretcher said that, Nor was already asleep while standing up.

"Oh, silly! I'll get you to bed!" Stretcher said.

Instead of what happened last time, Stretcher just pushed Nor to his bed while he was standing instead.

The next morning, Nor had woken up much earlier than usual to start building the robot with Stretcher helping him.

"Oh yeah, don't we need like, iron stuff or steel whatever the hell?" Nor said.

"Yeah, I found a store that sells them that's near a Foodstart. It's called Conveniently Placed Store!" Stretcher said.

After that, they walked to the store and got what they needed and went to the cashier.

"Hey, just this." Nor said to the cashier.

"That will be uhhhhh, 128.934827$ dollars." The cashier said.

"Oh, GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!!!" Stretcher said, while pulling out a water gun.

"Haha, very funny, now pay up." The cashier said, in a sarcastic manner.

"Fine." Nor said and gave a colored pencil to the cashier.

"What the hell is this? This is just a colored pencil." The cashier said.

"Uhhh, it's rare! Super duper rare! Definitely worth the price you mentioned!" Nor said, in a suspicious way.

"Oh really?" The cashier said.

The cashier scanned it to a thingamajig, which is what it was literally called. 

"Well, your about one cent off sir." The cashier said.

"Oh come on! It's just one cent!" Nor said.

"Sorry, I don't do the rules here." The cashier said.

"Look! There's one cent over there!" Stretcher said and pointed at the one cent on the ground.

"How are we supposed to get it? We're too far away from it!" Nor said.

"Uhhhh, use your powers?" Stretcher said.

"Oh yeah." Nor said then proceeded to make his arm longer to react the coin and got it.

"Here." Nor said and gave the one cent to the cashier.

The cashier's face was frozen and then said "I don't get paid enough for this." He walked away from the register.

"Hey! Can we go?" Nor shouted.

The cashier didn't respond.

"Well, I guess we can!" Stretcher said.

Nor left the one cent in the register and both Nor and Stretcher eventually went back home. Nor started building the robot with Stretcher giving him the tools he needs. After most of the day, Nor was finally done building it.

"Holy shit, I'm finally done! Nobody said it was this hard!" Nor said.

"It looks quite a bit like you!" Stretcher said.

"Yeah, it's supposed to be, I didn't have any other ideas for what it would look like, so I made myself!" Nor said.

"Heh, pretty narcissistic of you!" Stretcher said.

"That's a big word, what does it mean?" Nor asked.

"I don't know!" Stretcher said.

"Well, that's a cool meaning but anyways how do we make this robot like, uhhhh....." Nor said.

"Living?" Stretcher said.

"Yeah, something like that." Nor said.

"Hmmm......where do we even get that in the first place?" Stretcher said.

"I dunno.." Nor said

"Oh yeah, don't you have powers? Maybe you can make him sentient by doing that?" Stretcher said.

"But how?" Nor said.

"Uhhh, snap your fingers?" Stretcher said.

"Okay! I believe in you!" Nor snapped his fingers, and now the robot they built was now immediately sentient of it's surroundings.

"Hmm......spaghetti!" The robot said.

"Wow!! It worked!!" Stretcher said.

"Aww! Spaghetti is his first word!" Nor said, happily.

"Well, when do we show it to Scarlet?" Stretcher asked.

"Tomorrow, it's midnight and she's probably sleeping." Nor said.

"What about the robot? Do we just let him wander our house now that it's alive?" Stretcher said.

"Uhhhhhh...I guess so. Wouldn't be that bad, right?" Nor said.

"Oh, I remember I don't have to sleep, I'll just watch him then!!!" Stretcher said.

"Spaghetti!!!" The robot said. 

Nor went upstairs to sleep and Stretcher and the robot stayed in the living room watching TV. 

Scarlet's POV:

Scarlet still felt bad that she shouted at Nor at yesterday, but was too scared to apologize and due to the fact Nor was not at Foodstart that day. That night, she was just staring at TV static, wondering what to do. She tried to sleep earlier, but just ended up with her staring at the ceiling for half an hour, until eventually falling asleep.

Nor and Stretcher's POV:

The next day, Nor is tired due to the fact he stayed up late and woke up early, but was excited to show Scarlet her robot friend.

"Hey Stretcher, how's the robot goi-" Nor said, but saw Stretcher with spaghetti all around him.

"Dude! This robot is like a baby man! He kept throwing spaghetti at me!" Stretcher said.

"Oh...was it at least good?" Nor asked.

"Certainly! Makes up for it!" Stretcher said.

"Nice! I'm gonna go show Scarlet the robot but I'm gonna clean you first." Nor said.

Nor and Stretcher both went to the bathroom and Nor proceeded to spray water at Stretcher with a handheld shower head. 

"Speaking about the robot, where is he?" Nor asked.

"Probably making spaghetti again to throw it at me." Stretcher said.

The robot suddenly appeared with spaghetti in his hand beside the door and threw it at Stretcher.

"Like that." Stretcher said.

"Hahahaha! That's funny!" Nor said while laughing.

After they were done, they went to Scarlet's house to show her new robot friend. Nor rang the doorbell. 

"Oh, hi...what's that?" Scarlet said.

"We made you a robot!" Nor said.

"We both found out that you were sad so we made you a robot friend!" Stretcher said.

"I am indeed a robot!" The robot said.

"Hm, it looks like you Nor, but more bootleg!" Scarlet said.

"Thanks for the compliment! Do you like it?" Nor said.

"What can it do? Is it sentient?" Scarlet said.

"You mean is it alive? Yeah, it is." Stretcher said.

"Well, I guess it says spaghetti, like a lot." Nor said.

"Spaghetti!" The robot said.

"I LOVE IT!!!!!" Scarlet said, happily.

The robot proceeded to throw spaghetti out of his pocket to Scarlet but she decided to taste it.

"THIS SPAGHETTI IS SO GOOD TOO!!!!" Scarlet said.

"Your welcome! I made it!" The robot said.

"What is this little guy's name?" Scarlet asked.

"Ehhh, me and Stretcher haven't thought of it, but you can make one!" Nor said.

"I'm gonna name him Nohr!" Scarlet said.

"But that's my name!" Nor said.

"No, it's Nor but with an H between the O and R" Scarlet said.

"That's pretty cool!" Stretcher said.

"Oh, yeah!" Nor said.

"Thank you so much guys!!! I feel much happier now!!" Scarlet said.

"Your welcome!!" Both Nor and Stretcher said.

After that, Nor and Stretcher went back to their home with relief that Scarlet is now happy and both went back to watching TV and playing video games. Scarlet eventually takes Nohr to different places to spend their time with and Nohr learning more of their surroundings and what's happening.

Doom's POV:

Doom was in his bedroom, he was writing a story about his 2 OCs, Nor and Scarlet. Cobalt slowly went in the room to ask a question.

"Hi, honey!" Doom said.

"Hey! You wanna watch a movie with me and Marion? We got food!" Cobalt said, carrying a popcorn bag.

"Can you hear about a story I wrote first? I wanna get someone's thoughts on it." Doom said.

"Sure, what is it?" Cobalt asked. He went to sit beside Doom as well.

"So it's like..." Doom said the whole story, in a shorter way, but it was still quite long, so I'm not gonna quote it. After about 2 minutes, he was done.

"Well, that's exactly why Burger King is better!" Cobalt said.

"It's not! She's just, you know, depressed! And besides, Burger King tastes like cardboard!" Doom said, denying what Cobalt said.

Cobalt chuckled a bit. "Anyways, you gonna watch with us?" Cobalt asked again.

"Sure, what are we watching?" Doom asked.

"Another Star Wars movie, but it's new this time. Just released 3 weeks ago." Cobalt said.

"Yeah, I'm down!" Doom said.

They went to the living room to watch it, which Marion was also there sitting at the couch.
