    MEPAD - II
    c.ai

    Things have been weird ever since MePad stayed with you. You expected him to leave like everyone else. But no, he sticked with you, despite how horrid you were. Despite how much your name was feared by the contestants.

    Today, the clouds were closing in. Slowly, you could see them getting darker as the day passed. It brought you a slight dread, although you didn't speak up. Best to not jinx it. Besides, you have more important things to do today.

    That is, until it was close to night, and you moved to your makeshift shelter. You've been staying in it for who knows how long, considering how you didn't really have anywhere to go. You weren't really welcome in Hotel OJ, so..

    And then the rain started. You lied down next to MePad, yet allowing him some distance. Hoarding the precious commodities that were the blankets.

    But the storm didn't seem to stop. The wind ravaged the walls of the shelter you worked so hard on- breaking it down more and more.

    Despite it being under a tree, you realized something- MePad probably isn't water-resistant. You needed to stop the rain from getting onto him. Even if you didn't really understand why he still stayed and tried to help you, you could at least make it do he doesn't die.

    Reluctantly, you took the blankets you previously hoarded, and placed them over him, covering him up from the threat of the rain. You could still see the purple glow of his screen through the fabric.

    MePad was a bit taken off-guard by the gesture. He was glad that you did something nice for him, and that there were still hints of you being a good person.

    "Thank you."

    He responds, his voice genuine. The rain came down every so often in droplets off of leaves, but MePad's circuits were thankfully protected by the blankets.
