Author's Note: Saw Internabout and thought it was a decent episode. Still need to see episode 2 of Season 2 – I just remembered that the new character was named Megan, not Marys, my bad…. – and hope that the writers will amp up the story telling.

Short rant almost over. I'm not saying the show shouldn't be funny, I want the humor and drama to be more balanced like in Steven Universe. 12-15 minute episodes each and they're packed with great humor, story, and character development in a short time span. Please take note, writers, that show is a great example.

Thanks for the reviews to those who gave them, and to those who didn't.

Leans in: I know where you live…or I would if I was psychic and was that obsessive over something that trivial.

Cass Hamada was waving the last of her customers for the night out the door with a smile on her face. Nothing ever truly phased her for long, she would just keep smiling and plow through whatever was plaguing her until it was just a memory. Losing – and then regaining – her eldest nephew, had been considered one of the most difficult times in recent memory if anyone would bother asking her regulars. But they would also say that Cass carried that burden like she did with everything else, a smile on her face and an offer of more coffee.

Hiro was toying with the strings of his sweatshirt, getting more anxious each time he looked at the clock by the counter. Not even Mochi curling himself onto his master's lap offered much for comfort, it seemed. Or Baymax hugging him from the side. Cass had just closed the door and flipped the sign to Closed when she saw how distressed her nephew was becoming. She casually walked over and sat down beside him before she started.

"Everything alright, Hiro?" She asked.

Hiro snapped his head in Cass's direction and sagged,

"Oh, hey Aunt Cass. It was a…long day, I guess."

"Want to talk about it?" Cass gently offered.

This only made Hiro curl into himself and scare Mochi away, "Well, um, Aunt Cass, the thing is, I um…"

Baymax spoke up at the moment, "Hiro, I have just received a text message from Karmi informing you that she will be arriving in five minutes."

"WHAT?!" Hiro stood up from his chair and gave Baymax a look that dared him to repeat what he had just said.

"Karmi?" Cass looked interested, "Isn't she that girl you kept on talking about when the semester began?"

Hiro's face turned beet-red as he stammered to his aunt, "Nothing like that, Aunt Cass, I swear, she's been picking on me since we met and I want nothing to do with her."

"Bullying you?" Cass's face became fierce, reminding Hiro why he didn't like it when he saw her get angry, "So why is she coming over here?"

"She is coming over to show Hiro a movie called Up," Baymax answered, oblivious to the confusion he was adding into the conversation.

"She invited herself over and called it a date," Hiro held both his hands up, "Which it isn't! She thinks I have a crush on her and she's just saying it is to tease me."

Cass seemed to take this into consideration as she got up and emptied the tip jar.

"Why does she want to show you a movie?" Cass asked after a moment.

"Because I said I never saw it and something about carrier pigeons…." Hiro shook his head, "Not the point. She's coming over and I wasn't sure how to tell you and –"

"If it's just a movie, then count me in," Cass smiled, then frowned in thought, "I wonder if I can squeeze a horror film into it."

"If it can get her to leave sooner, I wouldn't mind."

Just then, Karmi's face came into view behind the glass panel. She took a moment to look at the sign before beginning to tap at the glass tap tap tap, while Hiro and Cass stood there in silence. Summoning up all of his courage, Hiro went towards the door like a man towards the gallows and slowly pulled the door open.

Karmi brushed past him, looking around the café with wide eyes.

"You live here?" She asked no one in particular. Her voice took on a higher pitch when she saw the pastries on display, "Tiger's Claw?! You sell those?!"

"We sure do," Cass smiled, "But not after closing time."

She held out her hand, "I'm Cassie Hamada, but you can call me Cass."

Karmi looked at the woman and smiled nervously, "Right. Karmi. My name. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Hamada."

Cass rolled her eyes, "Mrs. Hamada was my sister. I'm just a Miss."

"Miss…?" Karmi said hesitantly, "Is she…out…for the evening?"

Hiro wanted to steer the conversation to something less awkward like that stupid movie Karmi had invited herself over to watch with him, but Cass was faster.

"She's not with us anymore," Cass sighed sadly and Hiro began to glare daggers at Karmi for daring to even broach the topic, "Not for the past ten years."

Karmi looked like she was punched in the gut and she had the decency to look down and play with a strand of her hair.

"I'm sorry," she began, but Cass cut her off.

"It's fine, sweetie," Cass said dismissively, "You didn't know."

"So…" Karmi tried again after a moment, "I came over to show Hiro a movie?"

"Well, we do love movies here," Cass's smile returned again, "I'll get some popcorn ready and you can make yourself comfortable upstairs. Hiro, maybe you should get into your movie clothes?"

Hiro facepalmed himself while Karmi mouthed 'Movie clothes?' with a bewildered expression.

"Just…give me a few minutes," he managed to say after a few moments. He dashed upstairs and he was certain that Karmi was sniggering softly.

When he grabbed the T-shirt with the movie reel from his drawers, he saw something fly out and land on the floor with a thud. Hiro picked it up and tossed it back in his drawer dismissively.

He really needed to remember to get rid of that stupid eye Honey Lemon found. He just didn't know why he kept forgetting.

The boy moved out of the screen's line of vision as the camera was thrown aside. Obake tapped the console, imputing a few commands, and watched the screen begin to show more than just crummy T-shirts and an old robot toy.

Sometimes, the most brilliant plans were the ones you hid in plain sight.

Author's Note: Since Season 1 is pretty confusing in terms of how long the semester seemed to be – which should have been at least 3 and ¼ months yet seemed longer – I'm going take advantage of that little problem the writers seemed to have and work it into my timeline – which, admittedly, also needs some work too – and try and have some fun with it.

Also finally managed to figure out how to turn that MacGuffin into a Chekov's Gun from the last story. I swear, it was this close to becoming a new GS Ball or something.

Sorry for the short chapter, just wanted to keep updating. Please review!
