"Argh! I am so sick of this bot insisting I am bisexual!"
Willow stood in the middle of the Summers living room and
screamed her frustration.
"Try reprogramming her," Spike suggested.
"I have, but I'll do it again." Willow sat down and went
to work. Finally, she was done. She put the bot back on
alert and faced her. "Hi, Buffy."
The bot stared back.
Willow Friend Gay
"Hello, Willow. You are my friend and you are bisexual!" the
Buffybot cheerfully piped up.
"Can't you reprogram that bot to say something new?" Spike
snarled.
"I'm trying!" Willow fussed around some more and then stepped
back. "I think it's OK now."
The bot looked at Willow.
Willow Friend Gay
The Buffybot's brain started to churn. According to her
data, Willow was actually bisexual. Yet Willow kept wanting her
to say 'gay.'
She opened her mouth. "Willow, you are my friend and you are...."
She couldn't say it. It wasn't right.
"What's wrong, Buffy?" Willow asked anxiously.
The bot's motors continued to grind away. Had Willow forgotten
about her crush on Xander and her relationship with Oz? Was she
gay, or bi? What should Buffybot say? She didn't know. Finally,
with a great popping noise, the gears in her head gave way and
she collapsed to the floor at Willow's feet, a smoking wreck.
Spike glanced over, his attention captured. "You ruin the bot?
How'd you go and manage that?"
Willow shook her head in confusion. "I have no idea. I was
programming a simple enough concept into her. She had no problem
accepting that Tara is gay, but when it came to me she just couldn't
handle it. I just don't understand it."
