It was another lovely night in the quiet suburbs. The sun was dipping low across the horizon and the cool breezes of night had already started to creep in. In one cozy corner of the long rows of houses, in a cozy little nook in the wall, two mice had started to get ready for bed. One of fur and flesh cleaning himself in the bathroom. The other one of silicone and wires who sat in the living room recharging herself for the night ahead. 

Unplugging herself she placed the seamless panel back into place and smoothed out her red dress. Standing up off the floor she headed towards the bedroom for she knew that Jerry would be coming along soon. While he was quite energetic and sporadic around the human’s house when he was at home he was much more laid back and followed his own routines closely. Even if he never noticed so. Moving past the curtain dividing the bedroom from the rest of the home in the wall she sat on the edge of the bed. Her artificial ears listening closely as Jerry continued cleaning up in the bathroom. Grabbing a bottle of the bedside she poured the slick oil over her hand and methodically began to work it around her silicone sexual parts. She sighed, one of reflex as she lacked the need to breath, as manual arousal was so much less intimate than automatic. Hearing the click of the bathroom light being turned off she threw the bottle over to the bedside cabinet and took her place on the edge of the bed. Feet hanging off the side and knees together she leaned forward slightly to provide a rather alluring sight. She waited with ears following his every moment till he was just outside of the curtain. As he entered she spun her head around causing her long blond hair to flourish. 
“So how do you want it tonight?” She asked with a warm smile while taking in his look of surprise and interest. She knew he enjoyed a good round of recreational sex before bed after all and giving him the choice, even though he often went with the same things, helped to add a submissive tone he loved. What surprised her is that he instead shrugged it off. Pointing towards her dress and voicing concerns about the state of it. She looked down and then over herself. 
	“Hmm? Why yes this old thing is falling apart…” She admitted taking in the tears and stains covering the red bit of fabric. Not just the dress though. Her hair was no longer pristine, her tail like antenna bent and grimey. Without the need for much hygiene what little care she had to do had been neglected for quite some time. With some quick thinking she leaned forward and ran a hand upwards to move the dress out of place for him.
	“...But about we really ruin it before going for more?” She added with a grin. Even with the embarrassment of her own lack of personal care she did not want to leave him in the cold even for one night. Seeing him grinning and heading over as well only made her relax too, she was still so very attractive to him even with the rough edges. Hitching her dress up high she parted her legs and braced herself on all fours for him. Expression carefully changed to one of playful arousal as she got ready to perform the complicated set of expressions and actions needed ahead.

Come morning and Springtail was the first to raise. She knew from the past month of living with him it was good to get up early to sort out the place before he woke up. She fished up the tattered dress from the floor and looked it over. That invite taken maybe a bit too literal but most mice went nude anyway so it was no big deal for the shopping trip. Her ears perked up, she had almost forgotten about trip! Quietly rushing over she slipped past the curtain and into the bathroom. Dress tossed into the bin she turned on the shower and headed to the small cabinet. Taking out a roll of duct tape she tore of small pieces and stuck them where any small cracks in her body would let in water. It took some time and it was one of the reasons she had been forgetting to really wash herself for so long. Finally done she stepped into the freezing water and began to carefully scrub off the sweat and dirt from last night. Taking extra care this time around to get her hair cleaner and more presentable then ever before. Unhooking the shower head she brought it between her thighs and turned on the hot water to full. Leaning back against the tiles she set the timer in her head for 5 minutes and began to do some organization for the day. Would be nice to get some internal cleaning systems but Jerry was by far not the most wealthy. Connecting to the internet she opened up a messenger and sent a request to a certain famous mouse engineer who had once helped give her a look over. 

Jerry let out a yawn as he rolled over in the somewhat wrecked bed. He nestled into the pillow Springtail had slept on and breathed in her imaginary scent. Stretching out he heard several joints pop and crack leaving him with a wonderfully relaxed feeling. Last night had been one of the roughest is quite a while and he had slept all the more peaceful for it. Getting out of bed he headed out of the bedroom and into the bathroom. A quick shower and teeth brushed later and he stepped into the living room to find a nude Springtail recharging herself on the sofa. He bid her a cheery hello and headed past into the kitchen where he found fresh bacon and sausage cooking for him in the oven. He smiled. It was nice having a girlfriend that wakes up at the crack of dawn every day. Leaving it to finish he returned to Springtail and sat down next to her. 
	“I got some good news! Gadget sent over some funds for us so we could get some clothing, food…” She listed till she gave him a look. “...Upgrades?” Jerry let out a little blush at what she was hinting at. His eyes wandered down her shapely form but she blocked his view with a hand. “Ah none of that yet. Yesterday was the best hour I ever gave so I want that to be the benchmark for any of the new stuff.” She explained leaning over before running a hand along his cheek. She pressed her cold lips to his and gave him a pat on the shoulder. “I am sure you can wait that long.” She added smoothly before slipping off the sofa and with the long cable dragging behind her headed to sort out the fine breakfast for her love. 

Well fed and recharged the pair departed from their home in the wall and carefully left the house without tom finding them. Hitching a ride from one passing car that stopped for a red light to the next they quickly managed to get across town to where the mall was. Both the human mall and the hidden rodent mall that lay hidden in the shadows beneath it. Springtail was quite excited to be out and about but Jerry was a little more shy. Deep down he worried what other people would think of when it came to his girlfriend being, well, in some ways fake. While she was indeed as sentient as himself and chose to be with him out of a blossoming love she was still robotic, artificial. As they headed past the glass doors and headed down inside he kept watch for any disapproving glances but instead most stares was of intrigue or even wonder. Whispers of costumes or if she was some kind of new big product being sold followed them around as they headed deeper into the maze of shops and advertisements.
Springtail stopped in front of one storefront as something red and silken caught her eye. A form fitting red dress with matching long stockings and a hairband. She stood captivated by it before pulling Jerry along into the shop. There was so many options! Winter, summer, rain or sunshine. They had something for every time and place a girl could need but more importantly they had everything in a shade of red, Springtail’s favorite color of choice! As Jerry sat down near the changing rooms she went up and down the lines picking out some of this and some of that. Anything that caught her eye. By the time she met him at the rooms she had a stack in her arms so high she could barely see over it. Going inside she placed them down and started with the most important of outfits. A replacement to her classic. The material was soft and fresh smelling, fitting her body perfectly. The long stockings new to her but fit well and proved to be a lovely addition. The headband simple. Lastly was a small pair of underwear that she looked over thoughtfully. Slipping them on she headed outside she gave herself a look over in the mirror. 
	“Do I even need these?” She asked lifting up her new silk dress and giving them a tug for effect. She noticed Jerry’s supporting smile turn far more flushed, legs pressing together instantly. Apparently she does. Going back inside she stripped and folded up the outfit before going over her other options. Shorts and T-shirt, hoodies, other dresses both long and short and even swimwear. This was going to take a while but she doubted Jerry would mind. 

A few dozen outfits later and they were both about ready for a break. After buying well over half, and some spares, they found a nearby cafe for Jerry to grab a drink while she continued on to an appointment she had with a mechanic. Tune ups, cleaning, waterproofing, better batteries and all sorts more supplied as a gift from Gadget. It took a good hour of time but when she left his workshop she was a whole new mousebot. Fresh and full of energy. She all but bounced her way along as she met up with Jerry sitting at a fountain. He sprung up to meet her in a hug. Noticing right away she was warmer and softer. Pulling away he placed his head back down onto her chest. She had a heartbeat or at least a fake one. 
	“Helps partners relax I am told.” She explained. He gave a nod of approval and quickly picked up a bag to show some of the things he had picked up. Shampoo, soaps, all kinds of female focused products. She gave him a hug back but then leaned near his ear. “You know we have to go shopping for… other upgrades now right?” She whispered and felt him shudder against her. She picked up the heaviest of the bags and holding hands with Jerry began to walk down the mall to the dimmer, less public side. Down a small side corridor that leads nowhere, at the very end bathed in red, sat a very different kind of store. The front had posters showing off words heavy in many meanings but the windows was black and hid the insides well. Giving his hand a squeeze they headed inside, the door welcoming them with a little jingle. Inside the lights were softer. Quiet music hummed in the air as row after row of every size, shape and kind of artificial genital lined the shelves as well as porn, lube and just about everything else. Springtail had the most perfectly perverted smile going on but Jerry just stood going neon red. Gently tugging him onwards she gave him a point to the massive jug of lube in the far corner for him to go fetch. Meanwhile she headed down the other side to small section of specialized parts. She was not the first robot and in fact for all she was, she was only a toy. A little robot mouse with limited AI that got built for kids to play with and thanks to an, admittedly genius, cat meddling with her systems she grew to be much more. Robot citizens was rare in any place but they existed and every year more appeared. As is the universal rule with advanced robots, there was always those built for sexual reasons and others that wanted to upgrade to have that function. She stood looking over a small shelf of parts built to be easily fitted to herself. One boasted about speed and the other vibrations. There was an extra large one stating it could handle more than just one partner… She blushed. It was a little much even for herself. Bending over and then a bit lower she looked over and over till she could not decide. 
"Do we go with the 3 speed?" She shouted over her shoulder to Jerry who was standing somewhere behind her. "Or maybe the extra heat model?" She shouted next. "Or how about everything?" She finally called with a shrug. She turned to find Jerry looking as red as a cherry holding a half crushed bottle that had squirted everywhere. “Oh…” She whispered barely louder as a breath. Blushing hard herself she straightened up. Waving for him to wait she took the bottle and headed to the counter. After apologizing for the damages she began to chat about options.

Jerry fled for some air. His heart was pounding and he could barely contain his arousal. After being shut down in the morning and then having to watch her wear all those outfits… It had left him so pent up. Rubbing the stress from his neck he took deep breaths in and out. Thankfully he did have to wait long as the door jingled and Springtail came out with a tasteful unmarked black bag. A surprisingly big one at that. She lifted his head up to look into her big glossy blue eyes and could tell how uncomfortable and frustrated he had been. A grin broke out as her eyes darted down the corridor and back again. Taking his hand she led him back into the more public areas and along to where the clothing stores were. With purpose she ducked into one and headed straight to the back. All but throwing him into the dressing room she slipped inside and locked the door behind herself. Dropping all the bags onto the ground she placed both hands onto his shoulders and pressed her now warm lips to his firmly. Pushing him back towards the wall she stepped over his lap and sat on it roughly. A sweet moment of fur on silicone. He could feel her now warmer privates pressing on him but she broke away and ducked low. 
	“Benchmark remember.” Springtail stated simply as she kissed the tip of his sensitive pink flesh. She ran her tongue over it for the slight drop of wet she had and then stopped, mouth wide and waiting as she looked up to him. He wrapped a hand around himself and like that it all fell into place. No more thinking as he beat the stress out of himself. She gave him nothing more than soft lips and a plush tongue to rest his tip on as he worked everywhere else. Her eyes looked to the side. “I am sorry I was too loud…” She spoke just as he flooded her mouth. She moved forward to catch the rest as he placed his hands behind him and let it all out. Not a drop out of place she swallowed it all and gave him a few cleaning licks to get the last bit of sweat of him. 

They left the dressing room as quietly as they could and the rest of the shopping went really smooth. With Springtail carrying a huge pile of bags and boxes tied to her back like a giant backpack and Jerry carrying quite a few himself they finally left for home just as the sun was setting. Catching some rides from people returning home from work they got back just as night was creeping in. Jerry throw his bags to the side and breathed deep as he collapsed onto the sofa. It had been a very long day indeed. Springtail snatched up his bags and took them over into the bedroom.
	“Stay there honey!” She shouted to him as she snatched up the black bag and a tool box before disappearing into the bathroom. Jerry stretched out and rubbed his sore feet. It was nice to be back… Standing up he crept over to the bedroom and looked over the bags till he found a small pink container. Taking it back to the sofa he put his feet up onto the coffee table and opened it. Inside was a dozen freshly baked cream buns. Taking one he took a bite and let out a content sigh. Bite after bite he worked through it as his aches slowly disappeared one after another. Licking the spare cream of his fingers he ended up staring as Springtail pranced out of the bathroom. All giggles and smiles as she headed over and practically jumped onto him. Another kiss. Another sweet moment of warm embrace from both head and hips alike but this one did not break away, not until he had little breath left to give her. They looked into each other's gaze and naturally Jerry went to lick his fingers for her but she grabbed his hand softly. With a wink she pulled it away from him and then onto her chest. Slowly she lowered it down her body till she slipped it under her skirt. He blushed and had a smile but one that fell to a more thoughtful expression before turning fully into wonder. Springtail meanwhile sat all giddy. Excited she bit her lip as like a virgin all over again Jerry learned how to push her buttons for the first time. Excited over all her new features she yanked his hand away and lifted it up. 
“Try it.” She whispered. He bat an eye brow but trusting her gave his hand a lick. Sweaty, kind of… off tasting but it did not taste or even smell like lube. “That big bottle is premium, closest thing to natural you can get.” She explained as he gave his hand another lick. “Oh! Try this one too.” She asked as she moved his hand under her arm and pressed it firmly for a moment. This time he did not hesitate and gave it a lick but it was just more off tasting sweat… He paused. Then buried his nose into his palm. She had a scent. “A gift from Gadget, prototype. You like?” He nodded hard. Her look went soft. Pushing him further back into the soft sofa she planted her hands firmly on his shoulders and lifted herself up just a little bit. Without even using her hands she found the right spot, different to her old by an inch, and dropped down fully onto him. He jolted hard. Hard enough to almost knock her over, he shuddered and moaned and clawed at the sofa till suddenly he started shaking. Panicking she shut down all internal systems just as he shot load after load into her. “I forgot to calibrate the new parts… You alright honey?” She asked looking down to him as he sat limp and drooling. When she tried to pull away he let out a whine and so instead wrapped him in a hug and did not move till he was ready. 

Come the next morning Springtail sat on the edge of the bed watching him sleep soundly. It had taken an hour for her to get off him last night and he had been really sensitive ever since but did go straight to sleep. She sighed and stood up to go sort morning stuff but stopped. Sliding a hand up her dress she pushed two fingers into herself and ran yet another test process. All good, like the last time and time before that. She did not want to repeat yesterday, that accident could have done a lot worse than overstimulate him. Wiping her hand on the blanket she thought over some ways to make it up to him. She stripped off the new red outfit and after placing it away got out a high cut T-shirt, some sporty shorts and fresh red panties that she made sure to wipe overself first for that personal touch. Batteries running low she ran into the living room to recharge them before heading straight into the kitchen to make him his favorite breakfast. Omelette with three cheeses. Anything for her little furball. 
Jerry woke to the smell of cheese. He groaned but also drooled, he had not eaten anything yesterday but a cream bun. Forcing himself out of bed he limped slowly over to find Springtail wearing something quite delightfully summer inspired and holding an extra large plate of cheesy omelette. His stomach growled and she let out an understanding smile. One that almost fell as she saw his limp. As he sat down she stood up. Handing him his food she patted his head and walked around to the back of the sofa. He took a bite and all but melted at the cheesy goodness. What made him fully melt into the sofa was when Springtail suddenly placed her hands on his back and started rubbing. He groaned pleasurably. Placing his feet up once again he took his time enjoying the food and massage both. He spoke up about yesterday, that he was not mad. Accidents happen and they were both just so excited. She still felt bad. 

Wanting to help him she had stayed up all night looking at the internet and found that fresh air, mild exercise and a bit of sun can do wonders. To that end once she had charged herself up and Jerry was well fed they took the backdoor out of the house and began a nice walk across the gardens. The well trimmed suburban grass not slowing them down at all while the fresh dew proved to be refreshing. Once they got two gardens over Springtail started to speed up into a jog and Jerry began to do the same. Great way to loosen up the muscles and shake things off. The sun was lovely and she could tell it was going to be a hot day, even without checking the weather channel. Garden to garden they jog or ran or just walked. Having a pleasant time playing chase with each other as her tail bobbled and wobbled teasingly infront from Jerry. Finally they crossed the road and stepped out into the huge area that was the city park. Trees and grass, bushes and flowers, as far as the eye can see and nose could smell. They stopped for some water by the fountain and headed along to a bench. After climbing up they sat and had a quiet moment watching the clouds go by. 
Springtail felt a soft tap and as she turned she found Jerry looking a bit awkward. She knew that look so well he did not have to say a word more. Happy he was feeling better she stood up and leaned onto the side of the bench. Hooking her thumb into her shorts she pulled them down along with her underwear in one smooth motion but caught them before they fell too far. They was in public after all. 
	“Couldn't resist the shorts honey?” She asked playfully as she waited for his next move in this complex dance they called a relationship. Jerry's response was simple as she felt his tongue run over her. Gentle little lapping sensations that probed and tasted around as he pleased but only for a moment. She was grinning ear to ear that he liked her new flavors enough to go so far so soon and feeling him wrap his hands around her waist made all kinds of excited as well. Making sure to set her new internal systems to a more virgin friendly mode to help with his sensitivity she felt him push against her and his grip tighten hard. She felt him shudder and let out a little whine as his fingers dug into her hips. "Mm. Take your time, I know you are sore from... yesterday.” She whispered back with a soft, supporting look. He loosened his grip and stopped pushing as he let her insides do some of the work of slowly pulling them together. Jerry suddenly exhaled as he pulled out and then took a breath sharply as he pushed forward, his own needs getting the better of him as he finally struck hips on hips with a smack. He stopped moving to adjust but found her able to do so much more of the work now. Soft and supple insides that washed over him like warm loving waves. It made his knees shake and his spine tingle. He pushed and rubbed his hips against hers as she stroked him with the lightest of touches. Hearing him let out a much more pleasurable whine and knowing the signs Springtail clamped down just slightly. The second he fired that first shot of fresh sticky seed into her she came, her knees rubbing together and head spinning in a way she had never felt before. The upgrades was not just more realistic for his end and she could hardly believe how good it felt. Lost in her own world she had not even noticed he was done till he had slowly managed to pull himself free. Clamping herself closed to stop any leaks she pulled up her shorts swiftly and wiped her brow. All this sweat and pleasure was so much harder to deal with now. Looking over to her Jerry looking so much more relieved however she could tell it was worth it.

Springtail had a lot of new outfits to try out and a whole long list of upgrades just ready to go. It was going to be a fun month for them both and one filled with new experiences all over again.
