What is my purpose?

And I saw my family in the kitchen; my mom and dad were finishing setting up the table while Mark sat at the table. I set the inactive butter bot onto the table, then I waited patiently for the food and then my parents came back to the table after making two trips putting the plates filled with food to who they were for.

"Thank you for the food mom and dad."

Mark and I spoke out nearly at the same time.

"Your welcome, as you can probably see I made your favorite since your dad offered to get the ingredients so we can celebrate Drakes first invention."

"Of course I did it's only fitting that we celebrate Drakes first invention and he built a robot already at the age of six. "

A smile creeped it's way onto my face until I finally noticed it.

I then looked at the food on my plate it was one of my favorites, baked chicken with mashed potatoes and a side of asparagus. Then we all had a glass of milk, I noticed the potatoes weren't buttered which would allow me to use butter bot.

Currently to activate butter bot it requires voice recognition, I planned to eventually add other layers of confirmation later on.

"Butter bot activate."

Then power began to surge through the robot as it came to life as everyone watched on in amazement.Then the robot turned towards me it's one eye focused on me.

"What is my purpose?"

"Can you pass the butter butter bot?"

The robot then brought the butter to me and I picked up my butter knife amd sliced a small chunk of butter off and put it on top of my mashed potatoes and began to mix it in so it melts.

"What is my purpose?"

"To simply pass butter."

The robot looked down in sadness?disappointment?

"Oh my god."

"Hahahaha, what a funny little robot. I think you did a wonderful job with him. Hey butter bot, can you pass the butter."

The little robot brought the butter to my dad, my dad puts some butter onto his potatoes aswell and then began to eat his chicken as the butter melted.

"Butter bot can you pass the butter?"

"After mom gets some butter can you pass some here?"

The robot didn't say a word while it passed the butter, to one family member then to the next.

"Butter bot you can deactivate now."

The robot immediately turned itself off without hesitation after the relevation that its only purpose was to serve butter.

'I'm going to have to explain to butter bot he was also made for defending me and most of all heeding my every order, but that will have to wait until after dinner.'

"Wow Drake your robots so cool, do you think you could make me something one day."

"Of course, why wouldn't I Mark?"

My words caused Mark to brightly smile back at me.

"Thanks so much Drake, I can't wait to see what you make me."

I smiled back, at my brother today was just going so well, I finally finished my first project. We're eating my favorite food tonight; their wasn't much more I could ask for.

"That was just amazing Drake I can't believe you made something like this still. I'm sure you'll do many great things in the future."

"Thanks mom I appreciate it so much, it took me a while to build and program butter bot, but it seems it was all worth it."

A smile made it's way onto my face as we all dug into our food, and began to eat as one happy family.

15 minutes later....

"Good night mom and dad. Good night Mark."

"Good night Drake."

They all said at once as I went to my room with butter bot in my hands. And as soon as I closed the door behind me I set him on the desk prepared myself to debrief butter bot fully.

"Butter bot activate."

The robot came to life once more and the looked at me and confusedly tilted its head. But then went back to how he usually stands posture wise.

"What do you want, I thought my purpose was to pass butter?"

The robot snarckily replied.

"Watch how you talk to me or I will dismantle you, I can always make better robots so why don't your processors think on that."

That instantly shut up butter bot and caused him to back away a bit in fear perhaps.

"Now that's out of the way, your right passing butter is your purpose, except it's a subroutine. Meaning it's not your primary purpose, your primary purpose is to protect me and collect information without getting exposed. I have afterall implemented a way for you to shock humans enough to knock them out; I will have many secrets and so happenly I needed someone to defend then so you are currently my first line of defense. And your fourth purpose is to make sure my family is safe, do you understand?"

"Yes master! I knew I couldn't of been given such a mundane purpose! thank you, thank you so much."

"I'm happy to hear you like your purpose, now deactivate for now; afterall it would be strange if you were activated in my room when I don't need butter."

"I will immediately."

And so butter bot deactivated and I proceeded to close my eyes and fall asleep.
