A Gentle Nudge

A warm spark fluttered deep inside me, and the soft leather beneath suddenly felt real and textured. I gave a tiny wobble, testing my balance, and emitted a quiet, cheerful chirp into the quiet morning. Right next to me sat a smooth, round blue bun-shaped object. Curious, I leaned in slowly and gave it a soft, tentative bump with my side. It stayed calm and steady beside me, so I settled back down against the seat, humming a gentle, rhythmic sound.
