            One day Billy was doing his class work, when his Desk Helper went wild.  The machine was giving all the answers to his homework hologram.  The teacher thought it was his fault but it really wasn’t.  One reason the teacher thought it was him is because the teacher was a Positron 5000.  Those kinds of robots are almost never wrong.  Another reason is the teacher was a machine and she didn’t want another machine to get blamed.

            “It’s not my fault,” said Billy. 

Then the teacher said “ Don’t back talk me, go to the Mr. Megabit now!” So Billy went to Mr. Megabit. He got in big trouble for cheating, but Mr. Megabit didn’t put him in the Static room.  There is a very good reason for that too; he was the only human teacher at that particular school.  All the other schools had at least fifteen human teachers.  There was something terribly wrong.  Was some kind of evil genius making robot to get rid of all the kids?  Billy then left Mr. Megabits office and went snooping around the school.  Then he saw something that he had never seen at his school.  It was a brand new office with all sorts of huge metal electric machines.  It looks like some kind of recharging capsule.  Something was in one of them. It looked like a human model of his own Desk helper.  Then he ran to the office to tell Mr. Megabit but a Moniterbot 8000 stopped him.  Then he had to go back to his boring class with his mean teacher.  The whole time he was thinking of what he saw.

 Then his teacher asked him a question, ”What is the correct answer Billy, Billy Atom are you listening?”

Billy looked up at the teacher and shook his head no.  So then he had to go outside for not listening.  Then he saw the human Desk helper going down the hall and went back into the electric office. This time there was someone in it screaming out of the office, saying ” Brilliant, Brilliant!” Then Billy started to run to Mr. Megabit this time he made it. When he told Mr. Megabit he said” That’s Professor Re Boot he’s your new robot instructor,” Then Billy got very scared. 

The time was drawing very near to go to robotics class.  As I said before Billy was scared of his new robotics teacher Prof. Re Boot.  The bell rang and Billy walked slowly to Prof. Re Boot’s class. When Billy walked in he was surprised the Professor was a girl!  The bad thing was when she started to talk he didn’t recognize it from before.  All through the day he was thinking about Prof. Re Boot, he was worried if he was going to go to the freezing chamber when he got home when he told his mom and dad. 

     After his last holo class he went to his best friends colony. 

On the way there he had to stop by school to get his hologram homework. First he had to take one more look at the Robotics classroom. Then he saw a spooky shadow walk from the charger where that human desk helper was. He had to figure out what it was, he got closer when a slight blue glow shot out from the charger then the lights suddenly came on! He turned around to run when one of his teachers ran into him.  He had to turn around but his legs locked.  Then shadow that he saw earlier had came up and grabbed him.  Then he heard a loud zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz behind him. He thought he was going to get shocked when all of a sudden he started to shake. 

Then he opened his eyes to see his mom a dad hovering over him. They said, “ It’s time to get up and go to school Billy”.  He thought he was going mad. He tried to close his eyes and make everything go away, but it didn’t work.  He got up so he could take a hot plasma shower; he got dressed and went to school. When he got to his first class his desk helper went wild and was telling him all his answers to his work. That was the beginning of a very weird day.
