Sophie and Daft Punk are still in the vast desert, surrounded by mountains of red rock. The sun is hot and the temperature is almost unbearable. As Robots, Thomas and Guy-Manuel do not feel the warmth, Sophie is to shade and protects herself as best she can. Guy-Manuel is in the spaceship, in examining the Brainwasher to see if it is in good condition. Sophie leaves the room that serves as a bedroom, and will talk to the robot.

(Sophie): "Where is Thomas?"

(Guy-Manuel): "He's outside, he told me that he needed to think about something, but he did not tell me anything about that."

Sophie is intrigued and decides to go out to see him. To protect herself against the sun, she takes a large white cloth and puts it on her head and around her neck, like the Bedouins in the desert. When she goes out, she sees Thomas, sitting alone on a rock just at few meters from the spaceship. He looks at the sky, thoughtfully, without saying a word. He seems hold something small between his metal hands, but Sophie is too far away to see what it is. She approaches to him to talk. When he sees her happen, even if he can not smile, he is happy to see her. She sits beside him on the rock, and stares at the sky with him for a few minutes, without saying anything. Then, Thomas decided to speak first.

(Thomas): "Do you believe that is possible between us?"

(Sophie): "How so?"

(Thomas): "Well ..... I'm a robot, and you are human. You think that a machine and a human can love and be together?"

Sophie understands what Thomas is trying to say. He thinks that as a machine, he can not make Sophie happy, in love. Thomas lowered his head and seems to have no confidence in him. Sophie takes his hands and asked him to look her in the eyes.

(Sophie): "You and Guy-Manuel, you are very good people. You're maybe a robot, but you have feelings and you reflect on the things of the life, and that.... that means that you have a soul. I love you and you love me, for me, that's all that matters. You make me happy, you are as you are, and I do not want you to change. "

Thomas is really touched by what she has said. This sentence gives him confidence. And he knows that it is his body that is in metal, not his heart. He shows the object he is holding in his hands: a small red metal box. He opens it and inside, a bright and metallic pendant shaped heart with a ruby ​​in the middle. Sophie is amazed by this object.

(Sophie): "Awww, it is really beautiful ..... This is it for me?"

(Thomas): "Yes. The ruby at the center is from our planet. This is a rare mineral and precious I wanted to give it to you, to show you how much I love you and I care about you."

Sophie blushed and did not know what to say, so she gives a kiss on the cheek of Thomas, as if to say thank you to him. Thomas is behind Sophie, to put the pendant around her neck. The young woman observes the jewel, that shining to the sunlight. But Sophie is also worried about the gang who wants to capture the Daft Punk to force them to reveal the secrets of their technology and take the Brainwasher.

(Sophie): "In your opinion Thomas, what will happen if someone manages to seize the brainwasher?"

(Thomas): "This object is a weapon that can cause serious damage it can take control of armies and war machines. Some countries are even ready to make war for this machine."

(Sophie): "You should hide it elsewhere, on another planet."

(Thomas): "It's too risky. The soldiers of my planet are also looking for him, and they do not know where the earth is. This planet is the best hiding place for the brainwasher."

(Sophie): "I would do anything to help you keep it in a safe place."

(Thomas): "Believe me, it will not be better than my people discover that your planet hides the brainwasher, or they will not hesitate to destroy your world for take it, and that, I do not want to."

Sophie understands the seriousness of the situation. The earth could be invaded by an army of cybernetic creatures with deadly weapons and futuristic machines. That would be the war for eternity, the end of the world.

(Thomas): "Sometimes I wish that my people have never built this machine."

(Sophie): "However, there is a positive point: it allowed you to come to the earth, and therefore, to meet me."

Thomas is agreeing with that. Meet Sophie was for him one of the best things he went through. As a soldier of his home planet, he thought to spend his life fighting and never find love, but fate decided otherwise to him, and he is happy. To try to forget and have a good time, the couple decided to wander a bit in the desert, but not too far. They warn Guy-Manuel and begin to walk in the sand dunes. The end of the day approaches, and previously the decreased heat. The landscape is really beautiful, no pollution, no city, just the wilderness. More the couple advances in the desert, and the day passes quickly. They arrive at the edge of a huge cliff. Before them, there is the precipice. At the bottom, there is a small river. They can not go further. In the sky, the sun begins to descend slowly and the night wills soon fall, and the temperature too. To protect themselves from the bitter cold of the night, Thomas and Sophie light a fire. Sophie uses the fabric to keep out the cold. She and Thomas are sitting next to each other, in front of the flames that seem to dance with the wind.

That night, the sky is crossed by meteors. Hundreds fly through the air, the speed of light. Sophie and Thomas watching this, in warming themselves with the fire. Then, Sophie looks again her pendant, the ruby glows in the light of the flames.

(Sophie): "Thomas, you gave me this pendant, but I've nothing offered to you, I...."

(Thomas): "In fact, you gave me something that means a lot to me: You gave me love, and hope that a machine can love like a human. And for these two things, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart. "

Sophie again blushed and smiled. She could almost shed a tear of joy, but she does not want to cry in front of Thomas. To thank him for these fine words, she approaches her head and kissed him lovingly on the mouth this time. During the kiss, she felt the cold metal on her lips, but the girl feels that is very nice. Thomas can not smile, but for show that he is happy, he forms a heart with her hands, which made ​​Sophie smile again. Such feelings between a human and a machine, you could call it the digital love, but it is also a true love.
