"LUCY BE QUIET!" Timothy shouted at his daughter for the second time around. He waved a hand in her face before turning back to the television.
But, unfortunately, the Nurse burst through the door again. "No more!" her red face said as she shut of the television, "I'm sorry, but that's all your permit allows to see..."
_______________
Edward looked at Doctor Howard, bewildered.
Howard seemed to be lost in thought, "So...yeah. I guess I finished you. You get what you want, and I get nothing. Kinda ironic, when you think about it."
"...Finished?" said Edward in a whisper.
"Sure. You're finished." Kennedy muttered.
Howard had a sort of resentment towards Edward, but not as strong as the hatred Jim had had for the machine boy.
Edward was still lying on his back. The table was cold and uncomfortable on his back; he tried, but Edward was far too tired to sit up.
Howard offered to help Edward up.
"Yes, please."
A second scientist helped him up so that he was sitting upright. Edward didn't have his heavy leather suit on anymore—just a white, fleshy veneer over his metal chest. His arms were covered with waxy plastic, too. He was wearing some rolled-up jeans but, as Edward could see, his legs now had colorless material on them.
Edward had felt unusually free and light, and now he knew why. He had skin.
The boy looked and he expected to see shining, grey, razor-sharp knives—instead his eyes met two thin, smooth hands. He opened his mouth and gasped, like a child opening gifts at Christmas.
Edward's heart skipped a few beats. He felt lightheaded, like he just drank a whole bottle of lemonade.
He brought the hands closer and looked at them, tenderly. They were white and graceful, not silvery and sharp. He was so incredibly happy, he thought he'd cry if he could.
Doctor Howard smiled, feeling rather accomplished, and he decided to bring his large mirror to Edward. Howard helped Edward, who was still looking lovingly at his new hands, and put him on his feet.

Lucy's eyes shifted from the television to the nurse. "What are you doing?!" she screamed. "Turn it back on! I want to see him! You lied to us! You lied!" Lucy got up in the nurse's face angrily.
All the sadness, lonliness, fear, hatred, and uncertainty Lucy had lived with for these past three years was coming out in abundance. She looked as if she would tear the woman apart.

Katherine quickly went over to Lucy and wrapped her arms around her. "Don't worry, Luc... we'll be able to see him again. I promise." She whispered to her little girl, while still crying. She glared a little at the nurse and then looked over to Timothy, with a pleading look in her eyes.

"You all need to settle down! The Doctor is coming here, with...it." said the Nurse turning another color of red and whiping the sweaty brown hair out of her cheeks. "Just settle your darn selfs down!"
Timothy plopped his back into the chair and put his over his head. He waited.
____________
Edward peeled his eyes off his glorious hands, and became even more surprised at the reflection.
"That's me?"
Edward's eyes widened, and he looked at himself, curiously, as if he were looking at a stranger. His skin was very, very pale and face's pink scars were still there.
He bent closer to his ghost-pale reflection, and he looked it up and down many times.
"Here," Doctor Howard said, as he yanked Edward's new hands up to Edward's face.
Edward jumped back, frightened, and he drew his face away from the hands.
"You're not going to hurt yourself!" Howard said, impatiently, as he pulled Edward's hand to Edward's face again.
Edward's hand touched Edward's face. The poor boy gave a small whimper, and he expected blood to drip down his face. But Edward only felt his hand's silky skin brush against his face. Edward's hand stayed glued onto his face. He didn't want to take it away. He soon took his other hand and touched his plastic black hair with it—his hair felt stiff and starchy, not like Kim's soft golden hair. He touched his nose, feeling the hard angles of it, he felt his closed eyelids, his lips, and his chin.
"See? Nothing to be worried about...now, come with me."

Katherine stared at the nurse for a few moments and then looked down to Lucy. "You might finally be able to see Edward again, sweetheart." She said to her little girl softly, as she ran her fingers through Lucy's hair. She sighed and looked around the room, while waiting. She was really nervous due to the fact that she might see Edward again. She hoped that he would forgive her.

The touch of her mother, calmed Lucy a little, but not much. What right did the doctors have over them? Edward was a part of their family! Why couldn't he come home now? Was he sad that he hadn't seen them in three years? Or did he even remember who they were?
So many thought flooded her now maturing mind as she anxiously awaited hearing more about Edward.

Edward had to promise never to tell anyone what N.A.S.A had done—except, of course, the Boggs.
Then, something hit Edward. Now that he was dead (again), in a sense, he didn't have to go to trial, be interviewed, killed, or protested against anymore. He had a clean slate; he was a new man, if you will.
Doctor Howard walked towards the door where he knew the family waited. He gulped hard, and decided to brush back what short hair he had, just to give himself a cleaner look.
"Uh..hello, Timothy, Katherine...and Lucy." said Doctor Howard just barely poking his head into the room with a cheesey grin.

Katherine looked up to the doctor, since she had been looking down to Lucy previously. She smiled a little to him and nodded her head. "Hello, Doctor... how is Edward?" She asked him softly and somewhat scared. She didn't know what had happened with him.

"See for yourself..." Doctor Howard said in a strange happy tone. "Edward? These nice people want to see you."
A shuffling sound came from the other end of the door, and the Doctor opened door opened, slowly. The grey-blue door glided away to reveal a messy-haired, exhausted, and extremely woeful Edward. He stared at the strangers and gave an effort to smile, but it ended up looking like he had a twitch. The poor boy still had the bad habit of twitching his scissors---fingers, that is---like he were cutting a piece of invisible paper. He also kept his arms a good distance away from his sides. These bad habits would be dealt with later, the Doctor thought.
Timothy's face went a beautiful shade of ivory white when he saw Edward. His mouth formed a perfect 'O' shape. He stared in confusion at the two unfamiliar men infront of him.
"I—" For once in Timothy's life, he couldn't think of one single blasphemy to say.

Lucy's eyes blinked in shock, but her heart leap with joy. Her dear friend Edward was standing only a few feet away from her.....after so many years.........she thought he was dead.......
A smile appeared on her face, but then disappeared as her eyes dropped down to his........hands. Yes, hands... Were they real? Fake? A trick?
Staring at the human hands, Lucy stepped forward and asked the doctor, "Are they real? Where are his scissors?"
