Chapter 4 - IMPRINTED

" So Dorami , that's how Nobita found him " . Doraemon says to Dorami over time telephone. He looks at happy Nobita playing with his new friend, trying to teach Sky how to fly, then looks at Dorami again, " So, we have to find his real owner. Maybe they lost him somehow while time travelling and now is concerned about him. Do you know anything?"

" Hmm.. I don't think I heard about a robot like him , being born from an egg and all. That's something new. I have to ask around and maybe let the time patrol know that you guys found a stray robot!!" Dorami replies.

" ok Dorami, let me know as soon as you find something. I'll be off now"

" ok brother, take care of yourself and Nobita "

Dorami waves good bye to Doraemon and Nobita as Doraemon cuts the call.

" But Doraemon what do we do with the egg Shells?"

both of them looks at the scattered eggshells.

"True" Doraemon mumbles. Sky listens to their concern and proceeds to touch the egg shells. As soon as he touches the shell, it melted away and turned into a heart and entered Sky's body. Then just like a ray of light, 2 similar hearts came out and attached themselves with Nobita and Doraemon, and Covered them with some kind of bareer.

" Huh!! what just happened??" Nobita asked.

" I'm not sure. never seen that before" Doraemon replied.

"I protected you."

both looked at eachother and then looked at Sky.

" I protected you" Sky looks at them happily and wag's his tail. " you are my mother and father. "

" Huh?! mother and father? Us ?!"

Doraemon and Nobita questioned.

" yes! you were the ones I saw after being born. so you must be my parents" Sky happily replied.

" hmm he must have imprinted us ." Doraemon wonders.

" What's that Doraemon? "

" you know Nobita, when a bird breaks it's shell for the first time to come out , the first thing they see they'll imprint on that and regard as their mother. Doesn't matter if that is another bird or not."

" So , you mean Sky regards us as his parents because he saw us when he was born??" Nobita asks.

" I think so. that might be the case. " Doraemon replies.

" That is kind of cool . I am now a robot dog parent . hehe. " Nobita laghs in himself.

"Ah I know! Doraemon, I wanna show sky to Shizuka and the others" Nobita looks at Doraemon excitedly.

" ok but be careful Nobita. Sky is still a new born and he doesn't know anything" Doraemon replies smiling.

" Don't worry I'll take care of him. ok then , bamboo copter;"

Nobita reaches out his hand .

with a bored look doramon gives him what he wants " okey!"

"Now sky let's try to fly and follow me"

sky barks letting them know that he is ready.

As Nobita leaves out of the window wearing bamboo copter, Sky turns on his air jet and follows him out.
