Chapter Text
James Elliott jr. was unhappy with his life, his parents hated him, each year using his birthday as an excuse to have a dinner party with their friends while James Jr. was locked in his room, the only bit of kindness his parents showed him was letting him keep a drone they broke which James Jr. rebuilt, a butler drone with the designation J-10X111001.
J-10X111001: "Boss, are you sure you want to head to the family graveyard?"
James Jr.: "Of course I am theres something I need out there and as my drone, I want you to come with me!"
The duo headed out James Jr. grabbing a shovel from the shed.
J-10X111001: "So boss whats with the shovel?"
James Jr.: "Oh thats simple, grave robbery!"
J-10X111001: "W-what? Why are you grave robbing your own relatives?"
James Jr.: "Simple! I want to make you distinct! So I'm stealing some hair from one of my dead relatives and then you're gonna help me bleach it! Now eenie meenie mineie you"
James Elliott jr. selected one of the graves and started digging ending up with a female relative's grave.
James Jr.: "Some nice long hair, enough that it wouldn't be a risk to for the first try, and this dress is exquisite, lovely black and blue, J-10X111001 grab the skull, I'm keeping this dress!"
James Jr. shook the bones out of the dress and folded it up while J-10X111001 grabbed the skull.
James Jr.: "Lets head to the old servants' quarters, from back before the staff all got replaced with drones, there should be a bath tub nobody uses that we can bleach the hair in, luckily the bleach there should still be good, since it's the 'executive formula'."
The duo arrived in the old servants' quarters, when they found a bathroom they filled the tub and mixed in the bleach after turning on the vents. James Jr. tossed in the hair.
James Jr.: "J-10X111001 I want you to stay here and watch it alright, tell me when the hair ia bleached ok?
J-10X111001: "You got it boss."
James Jr. left the room and entered one of the bedrooms. Looking at the dress in his hands, he started shaking for a bit and then swallowed before stripping and putting the dress on. James Elliott Jr. looked at himself in the mirror and gasped he saw in the mirror a girl his age, tan skin accentuated by deep black hair and peircing green eyes. James Elliott Jr. realized he could never be what his parents wanted, he could never be their perfect son, for she was their secret daughter, but she knew better than to tell her parents.
J-10X111001: "Hey boss they hairs don- um what are you doing?"
James Jr.?: "J-J! I u-um can you keep a secret?"
J-10X111001: "I mean yeah? I can encrypt the information in my memory banks if you want, even hide them from corporate if needed."
James Jr.?: "I need you to not tell my parents ok? I don't think I'm a boy anymore J, when I tried on this dress it just sparked something in me I don't know what to rename myself but, boy am I glad you're default name for me is so androgynous."
J-10X111001: "I uh am not exactly happy being seen as male either, I also really liked it when you shortened my name, c-can we take one of the spare maid uniforms from the other drones and can I wear it?"
James Jr.?: "Sure thing J."
The duo returned to the bathroom taking the skull out and rinsing it.
James Jr.?: "Alright J I need you to go grab a sewing kit, some mesh and some glue, were making you a wig! Also go ahead and grab a maid uniform too!"
James Elliott Jr. thought about names for herself maybe some test names.
James Jr.?: "Test names test names testnames, testames? Tesames. heh what about that for a name? Tesaes? No no thats not quite right but close, Tessa? Tessa! That fits like a glove! From this day forward I am Tessa James Elliott!"
Tessa Laughs what a wonderful day, her own drone, and her own Identity seperate from what her parents decided for her!
J came back after a while bringing the stuff for Tessa to start on the wig while J changed into the maid dress.
Tessa: "Right'O J, I may of nicked myself a few times with the neelde but your wig is done, lets get this situated and then we can work on styling if for you!"
The duo eventually decided on Twin tails for J, before it got too late in the night.
Tessa: "Alright J we got to head back to my room for the night, which for me sadly means I have to put back on my 'guy clothes' maybe if we could figure out a way to make me feel feminine even without the dress."
Tessa took off her outfit and put back on her other clothes and headed back to her bedroom with J, placing the skull in her room.
Tessa: "Alright so J, as part of your job as my drone, I would like you to sleep in my bed with me."
J: "Um are you sure boss?"
Tessa: "J I am incredibly touch starved, the only time I get touched by my parents Is when mother slaps me for doing something wrong. I need this from you Ok?"
J nods, this would be the first of many days to come in the Life of Tessa James Elliott.
Nearby in the dump on the land of the Elliott Manor a batch of improperly disposed of drones are dumped off. When the dumpers left a symbol would apear above the stack dropping off a drone with purple hair onto the pile her presence causing two other drones to start reviving earlier than they were ment to. As in that pile three drones wait to be found: N-0X0010010, a nameless drone with a wethered arm band, and Uzi Doorman.
