Astro:HELP!...CAN'T...BREATHE!!!!
Me: I don't own Astro Boy or anything else except my OC.....why cruel fate?WHY??!?!
"Ah, Sunday." Astro lounged on the couch. He flipped trough the channels on the TV. His eyes drooped boredly. Cobalt came into the room and sat down on the couch next to Astro. He reached over and took the remote. Astro sat up quickly."Hey!" "There's something I want to watch." Astro tried to take the remote back."Well I was using it!" The two fought back and fortheventualy rolling onto the floor. Neither of the two noticed Dr.O'Shay come in the door. The doctor sweatdropped at the two rolling around the floor."Boys! What on earth are you doing?" The brothers froze where they were. "He started it!" They chorused.
Dr.O'Shay sighed. "Is that any way to act in front of our guest?" The two boys untangled themselves and stood up."Guest?" Dr.O'Shay stepped aside to reveal a young girl. She had long straight black hair, a green shirt with a black stripe down the side, and a black skirt with a green waist-belt. The only thing that stood out was her boots. They were red and shiny like Astro and Cobalt's. She didn't speak but looked at the ground."This is Kiori. She has Kokoro, just like you. Introduce yourselves." Astro smiled at her." Hi. I'm Astro and this is my brohter,Cobalt. He's a klutz." Cobalt's face went red. "I am not! I'm just..off balance." Astro rolled his eyes and whispered to Kiori, "Klutz" Kiori giggled. The sound was like bells.
Dr.O'Shay looked around. "Hey, where's Zoran?" Astro looked at him." She went to the store with Nora. They should be back soon." "Good. She could use a playmate like Kiori. I would love to stay and help Kiori get comfortable, but Yuko has been bugging me to finish some paperwork. So i leave the task to you Astro." Astro nodded. Dr.O'Shay gave Kiori a reasuring look, then left.
Cobalt piped up from behind Astro. "Does this mean I get the remote." Astro sweatdropped at his brother.
Kiori stood, feeling out of place. Astr tried his best to try and make her feel more comfortable. " I'll show you to your room. You'll share it with our sister Zoran. Come on." Kiori nervously followed him up the stairs. Astro opened the door to Zoran's had always been another bed in the room on which Zoran had kept her stuffed animals. Astro sighed as he moved them onto Zoran's bed. " Sorry. My sister's kind of obssesive." Kiori smiled kindly not feeling too out of place anymore. Astro pulled an extra set of bedding out from under the bed. Kiori walked over to help him make the bed." Thanks" She nodded.
After the bed was made, Kiori sat down on it and began to feel out of place again. Astro thought of something. " It must feel strange to be thrown into our family." Kiori nodded. Astro jumped up to the window. "I know a good way to get your spirits up." He pushed the window open and hopped onto the sill. He turned and gustured for he to come up. "Come on." Kiori looked at him with a frightened expression. He smiled reasuringly at her."Don't worry, just hold on to me tightly." She hesitated then grabbed him around the middle and hung on for dear life. Astro jumped and his rockets instantly powered up.
Kiori gasped slightly and klung to him even tighter as he flew across the sky. Astro scanned the park for his friends. He spotted them and headed down. As he came closer to the ground, Kiori losened her grip. But just bearly. She never fully released him until she felt her feet fully touch the ground. Alejo was the first to notice the two land." Hey Astro!" Kennedy and Abercrombie stopped bikering over whatever they were fighting over and ran over to the rest of them.
"Hey Astro! Who's the girl?" Kiori looked at the ground. Astro smiled at her."This is Kiori. She's a robot with Kokoro, like me. I'm helping her get comfortable. I know that when I made friends with you guys, I was more comfortable around here."
Alejo was busy looking Kiori over. "Wow! You look just like Astro, only...girlish. Do YOU take voice comands?" Kiori smile slightly and shook her head. Kennedy turned to Astro."We were just about to go Sky Riding. Mabey we can take Kiori along." Astro brightened."Yeah! Good idea!" He turned to Kiori. "Hey Kiori, do you want to go Sky Riding?" Kiori gave him a questioning look. He grabbed her arm and pulled her toward a huge red Sky Bike. "All you have to do is pedal and you fly across the sky. It's fun!" Kiori looked at the bike then at his face. She nodded and let him help her up onto one of the seats. Alejo, Kennedy, and Abercrombie hopped up on other seats while Astro took the back. " Everyone....Pedal!" Astro and Kiori pedaled at an amazing speed that left the other three struggling to keep up. The bike lifted itself and soon the were off. Astro kept a sharp eye on Kiori. Her face lit up as she watched Metro City pass below them.
The sun was setting by the time they said goodbye to Abercrombie, Kennedy, and Alejo. Kiori was still smiling an the way home. Astro looked down at her as he flew them home. "Did you have fun Kiori?" Kiori looked up and smiled even wider.
Astro landed on the window sill of Kiori and Zoran's room. Zoran was already in bed and fast asleep. Astro made sure the window wa closed befor turning to leave for his room. "Thank you Astro. Thank you fro everything." Kiori's soft voice caught Astro by suprise. He smiled warmly at her. "No problem. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Astro."
Astro walked back to his room to find Cobalt passed out, half-way off his bed. He couldn't help but chuckle. He crawled into his own bed and fell asleep quickly.
WHOO! That took a while. This chapter is more discriptive than my others.
We finaly meet Kiori. And already her and Astro are bonding....what kind of bonding I'll let you decide...but in the end the choice is mine.
Again I say...PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!
