Mission Insane: Angst: #7 If Only

Auto had almost crushed him. Auto had almost stopped EVE from something she cared about. Auto had tried to hurt the Captain who was trying to help EVE. But even knowing all of these things, WALL-E couldn't help but be a bit sad when he learned Auto had been deactivated. He'd been told not to awaken Auto under any circumstances, and he complied, though he would still sometimes enter the old Captain's room when exploring the now library of a star liner.
Had Auto always been the robot he had met? He wondered from the moment A113 was explained to him. Was there a time when he was nice? When he had been as nice as the Captain? As time passed, did his directive get stronger, and therefore he get worse?
WALL-E, more than anybody else in the colony, appreciated relationships. He'd been fully awake for all his time doing the same thing over and over. He'd known what it was like to have so little around him to interact with. And while he loved his pet Hal, it wasn't the same as a fellow robot.
He couldn't help but sigh at the deactivated wheel. What if they had met in a different time or place? What if the circumstances had been different between them?
Maybe, they could have even been friends?
