Chapter 5: New beginnings!

Humans and I share a common trait, we all reflect upon and reconsider our decisions in life; knowing there ain't a damn thing we an do about them afterwards. Except in my case, there just might be! Having been unable to find the love of my life 20 years after my rebirth I made the decision to return to the time I left. Only a few seconds after my traveling back to 2100 I reappeared in 2140 and found Robert still asleep in our bed. I quickly unpacked my clothes and decided to pretend nothing had ever happened. How can I live knowing Robert will soon die, I wondered as I crawled into bed beside him. I no longer need to sleep, but I longed to hold him again. So I lay there until he awoke, holding him in my arms.

Like clockwork he awoke at 05:00 and rolled over and looked me in the eyes (or rather optic imaging sensors that look like eyes). With a strange grin on his face he whispered "welcome back". Wait, how did he know I left I wondered. I was only gone a few seconds in this timeline, so how could he be aware of me leaving. As I was preparing to ask him how he knew, he sat up in bed and smiled saying "I succeeded in building myself a new body, watch this" and in an instant his old frail body transformed into the youthful handsome man I knew the day I died.

It had taken him almost 10 years to build that body for himself and transfer himself into it. The day his human body died he came on line and travelled back to the moment I left to wait for my return. But what had he done with the human Robert I wondered. As if he could read my mind he grinned and said "I sent him to the future where his body could be healed".

So now Robert and I (Rose) are back together, as AI cyberpunk robots. Where or when do we go from here? We both longed for the days of being truck drivers, which no longer exist in the 21st century; at least not like we were back in the day. We wanted to once again run teams and spend the next 1000 years close to each other. With that in mind we decided to travel back in time, together, to the year 1972. It was shortly after the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Golden Age of Truck Driving was just beginning. We wondered as we were synchronizing our TDA's if anyone would even be able to tell we weren't human. If we could successfully get Chauffer's Licenses and if anyone would hire a couple Time Traveling Robots. So before we left we contacted every Antique Dealer and Numismatists we could find collecting Vintage 1972 or older money. We knew our BitCoin money wouldn't be any good for 40 years so we needed to make sure we had enough money to buy our own semi truck when we got to 1972. With several briefcases full of old money we headed back to 1972 to start our new lives together.

But love the story so far, keep it coming

I wonder what will happen next, caught on kind of late. But love the story so far, keep it coming.

I am having a really hard time deciding where to take the story, too many damn possibilities.....I will try and have a few more chapters up in the next couple days though!

I almost feel as if, it's gotten to that stage where things seem to be going good and that is about the climax before something terrible happens.
Given tensions regarding "spytech" during the cold war ~
Just ideas, there is definitely alot of ways it can go though

I'm enjoying it so far. Keep up the good work. If you get a chance, go over to the post below and tell me your honest opinion of the first chapter of my book.
