Emmy Snips #1

Dress Up!
>Emmy Blinked, staring at the massive collection of clothes Madeline had managed to procure.
>"I found a bunch of Mom's old clothes and she said that I could have them!" Emmy's charge said, wearing a frock that was much too large for her "We should play Dress up!"
>Emmy smiled fondly as Madeline began piling clothes into her arms, only to blink as a large floppy sunhat was placed on her head.
>"Oh, you meant that both of us should dress up!" Emmy said happily, feeling foolish that she'd misunderstood her charge.
>"Yeah! I'll show you how amazing my sense of fashion is!" Madeline cheered.
>What followed was a storm of changing clothes, with Emmy modeling them to the best of her ability despite her thin frame and giggling at some of the odder clothing combinations Madeline dressed them in.
>"You should wear this tomorrow when you take me to school! All the other kids will be so jealous" Madeline said happily as she beamed at the outfit she'd had Emmy just put on.
>"Ah, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to do that Madeline" Emmy said with sadness in her voice.
>"Huh, but why?" Madeline asked curiously and with obvious disappointment.
>"While playing Dress Up is acceptable my warranty would expire if I didn't wear my uniform, I'm sorry to say that I'd probably get in really big trouble" Emmy explained as she patted Madeline on the head "It would also reflect poorly on your parents, even if this outfit is lovely, having a Nandroid that shirks her responsibilities and duties isn't a good look"
>"Oh, okay then" Madeline replied, still sounding a little down, though a rumbling from her stomach soon distracted her.
>Emmy smiled and checked her internal clock, "Ah, it appears we're slightly late for lunch!" and just like that the conversation was well and truly forgotten
The end

Kitty Cat Spat
>Emmy looked at the form curled beneath the bushes of the Delaire garden staring back at her and frowned to herself.
>She had expected the recent sightings of half eaten mice to have been the cause of the swelling local crow population, but the subtle sound of shaking leaves had alerted her to the presence of the home's feline interloper.
>A tabby kitten with only one eye was currently looking at her in curiosity, paws still bloody from it's most recent kill, a vole it had just began to eat when she had happened upon the feline's little hiding place.
>This would certainly not do! The diseases and parasites a stray cat could carry were astronomical, and that wasn't even considering the threat it held of attacking Madeline!
>Gently gathering it up in her hands, she made way to safely deposit the intruder outside the gates, only for a gasp from Madeline to alert her that the charge had seen the kitten in her hands.
>"Emmy, put Buttons down right now!" Madeline cried, making Emmy blink.
>"Buttons, who's that?" she asked her charge.
>"My kitten!" Madeline explained, standing in her tip toes to gently snatch the kitten away from Emmy and cradle it to her chest, where it yawned and immediately went to sleep.
>"But there was no news of Mr. or Mrs. Delaire buying you a kitten, I'm sure they would have told me if that was the case" Emmy replied, noticing the way Madeline cringed immediately.
>"Mom and Dad don't know about Buttons yet" Madeline admitted "But I was going to tell them about her, promise!"
>"Madeline, I have to tell them about this" Emmy said "I have to report stray animals if I see them"
>"You can't, if you tell them when I ask to keep her they'll say no!" Madeline pleaded.
>"It's not a matter of me wanting to tell them" Emmy admitted softly, pained to see the betrayed expression on the face of her charge. "But I have to, If I lie to them it would make me untrustworthy" Emmy tried to explain, her will crumpling at the sight of tears forming in the corner of Madeline's eyes.
>But then an idea formed, and Emmy smiled "But if you go and tell them now, I won't have to report Buttons!" She explained, only feeling better as the look of realization spread across Madeline's face as she darted into the house.
>And that was how Buttons became a member of their household, and the happy hunter of pests in the gardens.
The End.

The Emmy Identity
>It was a wonderful afternoon, and Emmy waited patiently for Madeline to leave the Bathroom at the park they were walking through, when suddenly a form impacted against the back of her legs with a cry of "Lenny!"
>It was a little boy, obviously panicked, clinging to her  leg
>"I-I-I couldn't find you!" The boy cried.
>"I'm sorry, but you seem to have mistaken me for someone else" Emmy said gently, causing the boy to look up at her "Were you separated from your Nandroid?" she inquired.
>The now sniffling boy detached himself from her legs after realizing that she wasn't his Nandroid and nodded a positive at her Question.
>"W-we were gonna go to the Zoo, but I accidentally let go of her hand and lost her!" he wailed, tears flowing anew.
>As Emmy tried to console the crying boy Madeline finally emerged from the bathroom.
>"What's going on?" Madeline asked, Until she saw the crying boy and seemed to realize something.
>"Did Lenny lose track of you again Simon?" Madeline asks in a tone that's almost exasperated.
>Simon nods his head "We were supposed to go to the Zoo today" he says before hanging his head.
>"Then she's probably at the zoo looking for you, like the last time she lost you" she said "Emmy, can we stop by the Zoo and see if she's there?" Emmy's charge asked.
>"Of course, It's close enough that it shouldn't have a major impact on our schedule" Emmy replied with a smile.
>And lo and behold, when they reached the entrance to the Zoo they saw a panicking Nandroid that could have been Emmy's twin if it wasn't for her ponytail.
>"There she is!" cried a happy Simon, throwing a thank you ever his shoulder as he ran to his Nandroid.
>Emmy smiled as she watched the two reunite, with Lenny picking up the boy in a hug.
