Short Circuit/Heartwarming

• Stephanie, once she is convinced of Number Five's sentience, goes to great lengths to protect the robot. This includes going on the run with him after his escape from the NOVA truck, even though she has no reason to do so. Essentially, she acts as his mother and she'll do anything to keep him safe.
  • In the sequel, Ben also starts demonstrating some rather protective behavior towards the robot. Considering he was one of the individuals who built Number Five (with Newton being the other), it isn't that surprising.
• Also in the sequel, Ben's Adorkable attempts to get Sandy's attention is rather sweet.
