Chapter 1 - Rayken's DG, 1

Rayken's DG, Book 1

"YAWWWNNNN!!" Rayken mumbled drowsily, getting out of bed. He went down the stairs, and headed outside.
I am getting ahead of myself.
The story begins as young, 14 year old Rayken spends the whole week alone with no one but himself at his house. He decided that he
would break the rules a little and go out on a bike ride, even though he was told not to. He hopped on his bike, and rolled out. He had the whole day planned out. He was going to go to the woods a few miles away from his house that he had never been to. He had once driven by it with his parents,
but he had not been able to get a good look at it. As he neared the woods, he saw something in a ditch on the left side of the road. It was a giant
casket. "What the heck is that doing there?" wondered Rayken. He leaped off his bike and ran over to it. "Should I open this?" Rayken asked himself.
He decided to open it. Scraping up enough courage for whatever was inside, he opened the casket.

        "UGH!!" he shouted as soon as the casket was open. He slammed the lid shut, and flew to his bike, ready to burn rubber. He waited in place
for a moment..............."OH......O.....O" he uttered, the casket was opening up! What came out shocked him! It was a beautiful girl, about his age.
She was nude. He could not stop staring at her. "Who are you?" he asked, stunned. She said nothing, but ran towards him.
"If people see this naked girl with me, they might think I'm some kind of sicko" he thought. "I'm sure she'll be alright." he thought. He sped off, behind
him was the girl, just standing there, her eyes following him down the road. He got back home and decided to call his parents. He walked through the
door, "AHHH!" The girl was standing in his doorway. Now that he was closer, he realized that she had pink hair and the most beautiful face he had
ever seen. "Who are you and why are you following me!?" he asked, while staring at her. She repeated what he had said earlier "Wh..Who are you?"
She seemed to have trouble pronouncing the phrase. "Do you know how to speak?!" he asked her, puzzled at who the heck this non-human girl was.
She drew closer to him, and he jumped back. "We need to get you some clothes" he said, knowing he would not get a response. He pulled apart his
mom's dresser, searching for something slightly smaller for his new aquaintance to wear. She walked into the room and sat down next to him. He knew it was rude, he could not help staring at her. She looked at him and smiled. She had a beautiful smile. He found some clothes, and gave them to her. She did nothing with them."Put them on." he told her. "Put them on" she repeated, handing the clothes to him. "Oh boy," he sighed. He heard a car outside! "Oh no! Mom and dad can't be home already!"

He looked around, the girl was nowhere to be found. He ran outside and saw the mailman dropping off a package. He also saw the pink-haired girl
staring at the mailman."Oh no!" thought Rayken. "He's gonna see her for sure!!" The mailman looked up, and saw Rayken, said hi, and turned to his
truck."What?" thought Rayken."He looked right through her! The girl picked up the package and took it to Rayken. "Put these on" she repeated again.
He smiled at her and she smilled back."I have an idea!" he said. "I think that she only says what I say" he thought. He said to her "Hello".
She repeated "He.....Oh". "It was a good try" he said reassuringly. "It was a good try" she repeated, with perfect clarity. "Awesome!" shouted
Rayken. "Awesome!" shouted the girl. After continuosly staring at her, (he was a teen) he saw an opening right underneath her belly button.
(not there!!) He thought it was a cut at first, but he was shocked when he figured out the truth. She had a USB plug-in right underneath her stomach!
"Sh...Sh...She's a robot" he stuttered. He ran up to his room, she followed. He turned his computer on and grabbed a USB cord. He very carefully
plugged it in. He was beet red from being that close to her. She sat down right next to him. His computer monitor displayed a giant pop-up window.
In big, bright letters it said "DIGITAL GIRL". Rayken was shocked. "What kind of genius could create something like this?" The computer pulled
up a menu. He clicked a button that said "Information." When he clicked on it, a box displayed that she was made a few years ago and that she was
one of only three in the world. "Unbelievable" he muttered. He x'ed out of that window and clicked on the button "secrets." A window came up that was full of text. He read the text. "The digital girl, or DG, knows nothing of the human world. The owner must teach her all that he or she knows so
she may fit in with the humans. If the owner pronounces a word or phrase clearly, the word or phrase and it's meaning will be downloaded to the
DG's memory. It will start to speak just like the owner in a few days, and will begin to act like the owner in a few weeks! This unit is capable of things
humans are not, however, these non-human abilities must be tought to or downloaded into the DG. Click on this link to download one of them to your

DG." Rayken clicked on the link, and the computer brought up a bar that said "Downloading" the bar disappeared, and the girl's eyes lit up.

        The girl stood up and said something in a voice that was not the one that she had used to copy him."The following utilities have been

downloaded to this unit: follower--this unit will follow the owner wherever he or she goes." Rayken thought about this for a moment "that's not good!!' Rayken said.

"Oh, wait, the mailman looked right through her and did not see her" Rayken thought "Maybe she's invisible to everyone but me!' He continued to

read the box."The DG will be seen by none but the owner unless this program is downloaded to the unit. This unit is stored in a casket with all the

accessories included. As soon as an owner has been chosen, niether the accessories nor the unit can be seen by any person but the owner."

"Accessories?" wondered Rayken. Then it hit him."I gotta go back to the casket!". He ran outside, the DG followed him. He ran to his bike"Oh, wait,

how is she gonna come with me?" he wondered.
        
         "I don't believe this" he thought. The DG was sitting on his shoulders while he drove the bike. Many people drove by, and said hi. "Hmm... the

invisibility seems to be working" He finally reached the casket. He let the DG off his shoulders (she was extermely light for a robot). He ran to the

casket, and pulled it open. In the top door, there was a device with a USB cord coming out of it. He put that in his backpack. He also found a blue

head band that had a button on it. He put it in the DG's hair and it changed colors! "whoa!" thought Rayken. He pushed the button and her hair

changed blue. He liked it better the color it was, so he pressed the button until it turned back pink. He also found a data storage chip. He put the chip

in the device. "Hmmm... that seems to be all there is" said Rayken. He lept back onto his bike, and the DG lept onto his back. He drove them both

to his house. When they got back, Rayken thought of something, "What am I going to call her" he wondered. "Hmmmm.... the creator had to name

her....." He plugged her into the computer and clicked on a button that said "Extra parts" . A window popped up that said "Once you have uncovered

the extra accessories to the unit, click on one of these links to learn about each part."He clicked on the button "USB device." A window opened up

that said "The USB device found in the casket is used to add or remove downloads from the unit while on the road. To use, you should download

the things that you want to add to the unit on to the storage chip also found in the casket, then plug the device into the unit, and select the download

that you wish to use." "But where do I find these downloads?" wondered Rayken.

        Rayken went online and typed in "Digital Girl." He was shocked. They actually had a website full of downloads for this robot! He looked through the downloads and found one that said "acrobat." "No, that's not what I need..." he said to himself. "Blast-Arm?" wondered Rayken. "These things can be dangerous." "There doesn't seem to be anything of use to me right now." He left the website and went back to the DG menu. He found a button that said "Name." He clicked on it, and a window popped up that said, "The name of this unit is Aya" "I knew it!" said Rayken "I knew this was a Japanese robot. He turned to the Aya and said "are you Japanese?" "y.....ye.....y..e...ss" she sounded out. "Okay, let's teach you how to speak" exclaimed Rayken. "Repeat after me: Hello, I am Aya." "Hello...m...my....na....na...name....is.....Ay...Ay...Aya" she repeated slowly. "Again" said

Rayken. "My..N...Name...Is....AYA!" "Good!" said Rayken. "My name is Aya" she repeated again. A giant smile spred across her face. She leaned

over and hugged Rayken. "sweet." whispered Rayken. "Okay, try this" Rayken told her. "Hello" ............" Hello" she repeated perfectly. "Now, say both

of them" said Rayken......"He....Hello, my name is Aya." "Very good!" she smiled even bigger. She leaned over and kissed him! "Wha...whoa....."

he sighed. "Okay, let's try that again" he said nervously, blushing. "Let's try....It's great to see you." he said very clearly. "It's gr...great to s..see you"

she repeated. "It's great to see you!" "All right!" said Rayken. She smiled again. "Now, try to say everything you just learned." Rayken asked

hopefully. She sat and thought for a moment," Hello, my name is Aya. It's great to see you!" Rayken was silent......"genious" he whispered.

He smiled at her, she smiled back successfully. She jumped on him "Hey!" he yelled. She smiled at him. She sat on top of him for a while, just staring
into his eyes. She stared at him for what seemed like hours.

        For a while after that, he felt very connected with Aya. She followed him everywhere. Not just because of the download, but because she began
to like him as well. He had even become comfortable with hanging out with a naked girl. One day, he said "Hello" to her, and she responded,

"Hello, it is great to see you" he smiled at her."Good job" he said. He went downstairs, and she followed. He sat down in the living room to watch T.V,
and she sat down right next to him. After all the things he had said to her, she had a fairly good vocabulary by now. He decided that he would take her
to see the human world. They went outside, both hopped on the bike, and rode off. He decided that they would go to the lake and he would teach her to swim. Once they reached the lake, he took her to the shallow end, right before she was about to get in, he remembered something,"STOP!!" he shouted. "Why?" asked the confused robot.
"Robots get messed up when they touch the water!" he expained. As they left the lake, she slipped and fell into the water! "Oh No!" shouted Rayken,

expecting the worst. He dived in faster than you would be able to see him do it, and swam deep, deep into the water. He grabbed her and swam up

as fast as he could, for he was running out of breath, and if he didn't make it, niether of them would. He reached the surface at last, to find out that she

was okay. "What....wrong....Ray?" the confused robot asked. "You don't feel any different?" asked Rayken. "No" said the robot. "Okay, I guess

that I can teach you how to swim, then." Rayken said reluctantly. "How swim do I?" said the robot. "You mean how do I swim, right?" asked Rayken

"Yes" said the robot. "Okay, you start by kicking your legs" he explained. Aya started kicking her legs. She started kicking too hard, and ended up

splashing all over the place. "Slow down a bit" commented Rayken. She kicked her legs, and kept herself afloat. She smiled "I did it!" "You sure did"

said Rayken happily. She spent the whole day swimming around the lake, and she was as good as him by the time the day was over. On the way back

he remembered something. "Uh-oh!" thought Rayken. "Mom and Dad will be home tomorrow!" He rode back to the house, and they both lept off.

"Is something wrong?" asked Aya. "Yeah" said Rayken. "My parents will be here tomorrow." "What are parents?" asked Aya, for this was something

that he had not taught her about. "Parents are people that take care of you, and tell you what is right or wrong" said Rayken. "Why this is bad?" asked

Aya. "Well, it's not, really, accept I can't talk to you when they are around, because they can't see you, and if they saw me talking to nothing, they

might think I was crazy." "I see" said Aya, sadly. "Why can you not show me to them?". Rayken thought about this for a moment, then replied "Maybe

I could download that program to your system that makes you visble." He paused. "But they might make you go away" "I do not want that" said the ro

bot. "What will we do?" She asked desperately. "I will try to explain to them, they should understand. In the meantime, let's download a few more

programs to your system." They spent the following night arming the DG with programs that might be helpful to them in the future. Among the

programs downloaded were the ability to fly, communicate with him via the USB device with a built-in cell phone, the ability to scan her environment

for whatever he asked her to scan for, and the ability to turn her invisibility on and off. He also made it so that she had

clothes on at all times, and had a cool costume of his own design on when she was visible. There were a few more that were not mentioned.

The next day, Rayken's parents arrived bright and early. He ran out to meet them, and greeted them with a "Hey!" "Are you okay?" asked his mother,

worrying like she always did. "I'm fine" Rayken replied. "Did anything interesting happen while we were gone?" asked his father. Rayken looked at the
DG nervously. "Actually, I did, dad." he uttered. "What's that?" asked his father suspiciously. "I know you will not believe me, that's why I will show you."

said Rayken seriously. "Okay," he sighed. "While you guys were gone, I took a bike ride and...." "Rayken! We told you not to leave the house when

we were gone!" "I know!" Rayken replied nervously. "But, I found something amazing when I went." he stuttered. "Well, what is it?" his father asked

impatiently. "I..I found a ......robot!" "What?" his dad asked, not understanding why this was a big deal. "Well, it's not like a toy robot......it's more like a

humanoid, extreme intelligence robot." "Right." said his dad sarcastically. "Okay, we don't have time for this, Ray, come on honey, let's get

unpacked!" "Wait!" Rayken shouted after him. "I knew this would happen, so I will have to show you!" he said, gaining confidence. "Aya, appear!!"

he shouted enthusiastically. .................he waited for a moment......nothing. "Funny joke." his dad stated blatantly. "Are you okay? Are you sure you

didn't bang your head on something?" his mother asked worriedly. He could not believe this. His mother was questioning his sanity! He ran up to his

room, grabbed the USB device, or UD, as he was refering it as, and shouted Aya's name through it. He shouted into it for a while, until a voice came

on it. "Yes, Ray?" "Where are you Aya?" asked Rayken. "I am sitting right next to you" she replied. "He turned and said "Aya, appear!" and she

became visible to him. "I did not know that you could make yourself invisible to me as well." He said. "I did not know this, either" she stated.

"Want to go prove to my parents you exist?" He asked hopefully. "Let's go!" she said excitedly!
