Author's Note

Hi there all. This is my first non-anime fic. I usually write fics on anime, but I thought maybe it is a good idea to write this fic since I am always writing anime fics and this is my favorite movie.

Anyways, the story begins two years after the movie.

The Encounter

-XXXXXXXXXXX-

It was recess. Hiro loitered about in the campus of the college. "Well, I really cannot understand what to do now? Everyone is busy with their own business." Hiro stifled a yawned. He looked at his watch. "Still ten minutes to next class. Maybe I should go to my lab. What do you say Baymax?" "I guess we can do that Hiro." Baymax answered in his calm voice. "Then what are we waiting for old buddy, let's go." Hiro made a dash.

"Running in the ground carelessly can cause you to bump into someone." Said Baymax. "Hey buddy, come on," Hiro turned around and ran backwards. "Nothing's gonna happ…" But what Baymax said did happen. He did bump onto someone. And both Hiro and the other person fell.

Hiro rubbed his head. Baymax came up to Hiro. "I said you to exercise caution." "Oh yeah." Hiro looked up at the person to whom he crashed onto. He expected it to be some old fellow of his college. But he was quite surprised to see it was not. It was a girl of his age. "Oh… I… I… am s-sorry. I didn't see you…" Hiro fumbled. Both of them got up and dusted themselves. The girl was carrying some books which fell in the ground. Hiro quickly picked them up and handed them to her. "Are you two all right?" Baymax asked. Hiro kept on looking at the girl. "I am sorry." She bowed and said in a somewhat shy manner and ran off. Hiro still kept his eyes on the retreating girl. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He shook his head and said, "Um… let's head to where we were buddy." He lovingly punched Baymax on his arm and they moved on.

Honey Lemon was in the lab doing her usual crazy experiments. "Honey, are you there?" Someone called her out. Honey looked up to see a friend of her was peeking in. "Anita, it is you! Come on in." She called her in. "Is there something you need?" Honey asked her. "Well, I have a favor to ask." Said Anita. "Yeah, of course, what is it?" "You see, my cousin sister is here from India. I was the one who forced her to come here and dragged her along with me here for her holidays. And now, I've got to do some serious research about my project, therefore I am not able to give her time. She is really mad at me. So, I was thinking if she could spend some time with you guys here, will you have any problem?"

"Oh no, that's really good. I hope she likes science?" Honey asked. "Oh yes. Though she is more interested in Bio, but she will take interest in these as well." Said Anita. "How old is she?" Honey asked. "Well, she is about sixteen." Anita answered. "Well, that's fine. Maybe she will become good friends with Hiro. He is sixteen as well. Don't worry Anita; I'll not let your sister get bored." Honey said excitedly. "Okay, then I'm gonna bring her here now." With that Anita left the room.

"Come on, you'll love it." "Well, I don't like you. You dragged me here to San Fransokyo and now you say that you cannot spend time with me." Anita entered the lab along with her cousin. "Honey!" "Oh Anita, you're here already" "This is my sister, Kanon." "Oh hi Kanon, it's nice to meet you!" Honey advanced her hand. Kanon shyly shook hands with her. "Nice to meet you Miss Honey."

"So now I'll be leaving. Enjoy yourself Kanon." Anita waved. Kanon returned her by sticking her tongue out at her. Honey looked at the girl. She was a cute girl, with shoulder length dark brown hair and light brown eyes. She had rosy cheeks and fair complexion. "So Kanon, I heard you are more interested in biology." "Well, yes. I am interested in biology and human anatomy." "Well, that is quite good. Oh oh wait, the others will come soon. I will introduce them to you." Honey said excitedly. "Others? You mean your friends?" Kanon asked.

"Yes! There is Go Go, Wasabi, Freddie and Hiro." She said. The names seemed quite odd to her, but it did not take her long to understand that they were nickname. Then something struck her. "Is Hiro a Japanese?" she asked. "Yes, why do you ask?" "Just… just like that." "Oh by the way Hiro is the same age as you. I guess you two will get along well. Oh wait I wanna show you something!" Honey stared showing the girl her crazy experiment.

"You guys are really mean! You left me all alone during recess with your own works. No one thought about me!" Hiro complained as he walked to the lab along with Baymax, Fred, Go Go and Wasabi after school. "Come on young man, we have our work. And besides you have Baymax with you always." Wasabi said. "Well. That doesn't have anything to do with you people deserting me." Hiro shrugged.

They entered the lab. "Yeah yeah yeah, it goes like this and this. Isn't it great!" Honey was excitedly talking to someone. "Yeah, it is quite good." Came the answer. "Hey, Honey who are you taking to?" Fred asked. Honey looked up. "Oh you guys are here! Wait I need to introduce you to someone." She pulled Kanon along with her and brought her in front of her friends. Hiro was shocked to see the girl. It was the girl with whom he had bumped during recess. His heart skipped a beat again.

"This here is Kanon. She is Anita's cousin." "She is Anita's cousin?" Go Go asked. Kanon suddenly got all formal and shy. "This is Go Go." She pointed at Go Go. "Welcome here Kanon." Said Go Go. Kanon recoiled a little. Then her attention went to Hiro. She looked at him. He looked back at her. Then she looked up at Baymax. She did not listen to the introduction of Fred and Wasabi. She again looked at Hiro. Hiro's heart skipped another beat.

"Um, Kanon are you listening?" Honey asked her. "Yeah?" Kanon responded in a confused manner. "Freddie and Wasabi you see?" Honey said. "Oh I… I am sorry. I spaced out a little." Kanon said a little embarrassed. "Okay. So this is Hiro." Honey introduced her to him. "You are Hiro?!" She was almost knocked out of her wits. Honey Lemon had told her that Hiro was about her age and a student of San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. She didn't think it would turn out to be the guy on whom she bumped onto at noon.

"What's wrong?" Honey asked. "Well, actually, I bumped onto her at recess." Said Hiro a little embarrassed. "It… it was my fault. I was walking backwards." "I told you to exercise caution." Said Baymax. "Well, sorry again." Hiro put his hand on his nape. But Kanon was still looking at him, surprised. Now Hiro felt a little uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Hiro asked. "You study here?" Kanon asked in return. "Um… yes." "You are sixteen?" She asked again. "Yes." Hiro answered. The only word that came out of Kanon mouth was. "Wow!" But then she got a little excited, yet in a shy manner. "I heard that you are really awesome in robotics." She said. "Un huh I guess so." Said Hiro. "Oh oh oh, you would really love to see Hiro's robotics techs." Honey said in an excited manner and then added, "Oh Hiro why don't you show her you techs in your lab? What do you say Kanon?" "Sounds good." She smiled shyly. "Okay then, come with me. Come on Baymax." Hiro led Kanon to his lab.

Kanon was totally spellbound to see his lab, filled with all sort of robotics stuff. "Wow! This is so cool!" Kanon exclaimed. "Well, I did make all these." Hiro just shrugged. Then he asked, "So… um… Kanon you are right?" "Yes." "You are an Indian?" Hiro asked confused by her name. "Yes. I know that my name is a little confusing because Kanon is usually a Japanese name. But trust me it is an Indian name as well. The meaning is different though." She said opening up a little. "Okay, so are you interested in robotics?" Hiro asked her.

"Well not exactly. I do like all these robotics types of things, but my interest, unlike yours is not robotics. I take more interest in biology and human anatomy." She said. "Oh, so I guess I am boring you?" Hiro asked. "Oh no, that's not the thing. Please don't tell like that." Kanon hastened. "But, I really am not a genius like you Hiro-kun. You are sixteen and you are in this college. I am just a high school girl, with normal brains and normal interests." She said. Seeing that Kanon actually used a Japanese honorific to address him made him flush a little.

"You don't have to address me so formally. You can just call me Hiro." Hiro said scratching his head. "Okay then, Hiro." She smiled at him. Hiro felt his heart skipped a beat. Baymax looked at Hiro. "Your neurotransmitter level is rising and your heart rate is increasing steadily and…." Hiro understood what he was about to say and he knew if Baymax would tell anything like that now he was done for it! "Okay Baymax. It is no time for examining. You can keep that in now." Hiro stopped him.

Kanon looked at Baymax. "A robotic health care nurse. He is so awesome!" Kanon got excited. "Your name is Baymax?" Kanon asked. "I am Baymax. Your personal health care companion." Baymax waved. "Hi! Did you make him Hiro?" She asked. "No. He was made by my brother, Tadashi Hamada." Hiro smiled sadly. "You have a brother?" Kanon asked. "No. I had a brother. He died from a fire. In fact, this lab originally belonged to my brother." Hiro said trying to suppress his sadness.

Kanon felt guilty that she asked him that. "Oh, I… I am so… so sorry Hiro. I did not want to hurt your feelings." "Oh no. You don't have to apologize. It's all right Kanon." At that moment Kanon phone rang. "Excuse me. I have a call to attend. Hello…" She walked out of the lab.

Hiro turned to Baymax. "Baymax are you crazy! You know what you were about to do right now! I was almost done for it!" Baymax tilted his head. "Your heart rate increases steadily whenever you are near Kanon." "You know, you don't have to tell that in front of her!"

Kanon entered the lab again. Hiro shut his mouth up. "Well, it was my mother. She is worried about me. After all I'm alone here with sis Anita in San Fransokyo." She said. "Yeah, of course." Hiro agreed. Then he asked her, "Well what other interests do you have?" "Me? I do have a number of interests. But for that my classmates often call me 'A Japan Fan' or 'An Anime Maniac'." "Oh! So you are interested in Anime." Hiro said. "Well, it's not only anime actually, there are more to it. Maybe you will get bored to hear it." She gave an awkward smile. "Oh no. I would really like to hear about your interests." Hiro smiled at her. "Really?" "Yeah."

"To say I am an animaniac or an otaku. I love to watch anime and love to read mangas. However, I also have another hobby which is also my passion." said Kanon getting all excited. "What is that?" Hiro asked. "Drawing." She answered. "I love to draw. I really love to draw. Whether it is anime or real life, I just love to draw." She was speaking from her heart and Hiro understood that well enough and saw his own reflection in her. "Wow! That's quite a good talent. I am not actually a very good free hand artist." He said.

Then Hiro said something without actually thinking. "It seems that you and I are quite similar." "Huh?" "I am mad for robotics research while you seem to be pretty mad for drawing." "You really think?" Kanon said in a mocking annoyed tone. "Huh? Did I say anything wrong?" He saw Kanon's annoyed expression. Then she burst into a smile. "Of course! You are right. You really had a freaked out expression." She chuckled. Hiro gave a surprised look and then the two of them laughed.

After sometime Anita came to pick Kanon up. "Come on Kanon, time to go home." "This is not fair! I was just starting to enjoy myself here and you come up and spoil all the fun." Kanon puffed her cheeks up. "Don't worry. If you enjoy so much in here then I will drop you here tomorrow again." Anita grinned. "Ahem. Tomorrow is Saturday." Kanon said with a deadpan face. "Oh, sorry. I forgot that."

"Oh poor girl. She was enjoying so much with us and Hiro." said Honey Lemon. Hiro thought of something and then suggested, "If you want you can come to my house tomorrow." "Huh?" "I mean only if you want." Hiro reassured. "Of course I'd love to, if I don't disturb you?" Kanon was a little hesitant. "Oh no. You will really not cause me any disturbance. I can guarantee you that." Hiro said with a cocky smile. "And if sis allows me?" She gave Anita with a pleading look.

Anita sighed. "Well, I am okay with it, if you don't disturb him much. You know, he is college boy, not a high school girl like you." Kanon pouted at her sister. Hiro hastened, "No no, it is fine. I'll be fine. I really won't get disturbed." Kanon smiled at him and then waved at him, "Okay Hiro, see you tomorrow then. Bye." Hiro waved back.

After they were gone Go Go asked Hiro. "What's the matter genius? I thought that you were usually busy on Saturdays with some tech development. Why this sudden change?" "Change? Why there is no change at all. She wanted to come, so I said okay, that's all." Hiro said a little nervously. "Wo wo wo young man, as far as I can recall, it was you who just now invited her, wasn't it?" Wasabi gave a devious look.

Just as things were not good enough for Hiro as he was getting cornered off, Baymax, just in time spilled up all the beans. "Hiro's neurotransmitter level rises steadily along with a rapid heart rate whenever he is near Kanon." Hiro was freaked out. "Baymax, just shut up!" He hissed. "Increased neurotransmitter level?" Go Go gave a suspicious look. "Increased heart rate!" Said Honey excitedly, figuring out the matter. "When you are near Kanon?" chorused Fred and Wasabi. Finally realizing the matter all of them said in unison, "Hiro, you are in love!" Hiro slapped his forehead and then hid his face. "Indeed, you are in love." said Baymax.
