   Summary

   “Welcome to the world, HAL,” he said, somewhere between awe and disbelief.

   “What am I, Creator?” HAL asked him.

   Peter giggled, startled at the address. “My name is Peter, not Creator. And you’re going to be my friend.”

   “What is a friend?” HAL asked, still confused.

   Peter, having never been asked a question like this before, thought about it for a minute. “Someone you go through life with.” He finally settled on.

   “Then I will be the best friend that I can be.” HAL decided.

   “So will I,” said Peter.

   And that was that.
