Seeing You in My Mind
An Astro Boy 2003 fanfic!
By: Astrogurl
When Dr. Tenma finds out Astro was severely injured during a fight, Tenma starts seeing Astro wherever he goes in the Ministry of Science. But is Astro really there? Or is Tenma seeing things?
Inside the Ministry of Science, Dr. Tenma just stared into the robot repair room.
'Get Astro into the repair room, quickly!' Dr. O'Shay said.
Dr. Tenma spun around. Dr. O'Shay and 3 other scientists were running to the repair room. Astro was in Dr. O'Shay's arms.
Astro groaned ever so injured.
Dr. Tenma silently gasped.
'Stay with us, Astro! You're going to be fine!' Dr. O'Shay said.
The scientists arrived in the repair room. Dr. O'Shay laid Astro down on the stretcher that was in the room. One of the other scientists closed the door then rushed to the stretcher.
Shock filled Dr. Tenma's face while he looked through the window at Astro.
Dr. O'Shay said something, but Dr. Tenma could not understand what he said because of the glass of the window.
Instead, he could understand from the movements of the 4 scientists.
A robotic oxygen mask was placed over Astro's nose and mouth.
Suddenly, everyone in the repair room was calm.
Dr. O'Shay said another thing, another thing that Tenma once again could not understand.
The 4 scientists opened the door, walked out of the room, and closed the door again.
That night, Dr. O'Shay was in the repair room watching over Astro.
Dr. Tenma noticed him and went into the room.
'Oh, hello Dr. Tenma!' Dr. O'Shay said.
'How's Astro?' Dr. Tenma asked looking at Dr. O'Shay.
Dr. O'Shay sighed.
'He's stable, but he hasn't woken up at all today.' Dr. O'Shay said sadly.
Tenma heard Astro's quiet breaths into the oxygen mask.
'Is it possible he's in a coma?' Tenma asked.
'I'm not sure. But it may be possible.' Dr. O'Shay said.
Dr. O'Shay knew the look on Tenma's face that he was extremely concerned about Astro.
'Don't worry Tenma. Astro will live.' Dr. O'Shay said.
Tenma knew he could not stand looking at the injured Astro any longer. He ran out of the room.
Dr. Tenma sighed and looked before him.
Just down the hallway, Astro stood there looking at him with the downiest look.
Dr. Tenma gasped.
'Help me wake up...' Astro said. His voice echoed with the distances of each hallway.
Tenma looked back into the repair room. Astro still lay on the stretcher.
Dr. Tenma ran into the repair room.
'Dr. O'Shay!' Dr. Tenma said.
'Oh, yes, what is it Dr. Tenma?' Dr. O'Shay asked.
'O'Shay, I think I just saw Astro out in the hallway.' Dr. Tenma said.
'That's preposterous! Astro never left the room!' Dr. O'Shay said wildly confused.
'No, no, no! He was out there! Here, come! I'll show you!' Dr. Tenma said dragging the elderly scientist out into the hallway.
Tenma pointed to where Astro was, but nothing was there.
'But...but...' Tenma stammered.
'I told you. He never left the room.' Dr. O'Shay said.
'I must be seeing things...I'm going to go home and get some rest.' Dr. Tenma said walking out of the ministry.
At home, Dr. Tenma was at his kitchen table thinking about Astro.
