Hello my fellow followers! Ok this is a short chapter because this was to continue from the last chapter. If you guys remembered from the summary the story is supposed to go a little different from what I'm writing. At first, this story was supposed to be about 7 chapters but then I went overboard with the beginning part of the story. This was technically the prologue. Wow I know, I went to detailed. But I love the interaction between Hiro and Tadashi! After watching the movie I started getting new ideas for the story and it distracted me from doing what I planned to do originally. So a head's up for future chapters, the plot of this will follow the concept of the movie but it will be different and mainly focus Hiro's development (just like the past chapters). If you guys wanna know some news I'm on tumblr now! ( .com) Also I think I won't update until two weeks. Sad but I need to get some work done. I will be planning the next chapter though. Enough of me! Noe read this short chapter!
For the rest of the school year, Tadashi focused on his studies at ease. During the time he and Fred worked on their senior projects with each other, mainly because Fred was having a hard time and Tadashi offered to help. At first it was awkward walking through the school running into the group he used to be in but soon adapted as seeing them as regular students in the hallway. During February, Tadashi and Professor Callaghan had their meeting with Aunt Cass and another representative from the school. The school was impressed with his academics and after-school activities he used to participate in for science. He was able to show them the past inventions he made when we younger along with his first robot he built with Hiro, just for fun. They were fascinated learning how far he'd come to be intelligent. He shared to the professor his first rough draft sketch on his upcoming project and blueprints indicating how the robot will be built and activated. The entire session went smoothly, better than what Tadashi expected. In the end, Professor Callaghan wanted Tadashi to join the institute right away.
Hiro was also moving through the year at ease. The only problem was that he was inside the house more often. Sure he hung out with Tadashi and Fred for trips and help out his aunt in the cafe, but he decided he wanted to finish his education earlier since it was possible for him. He wanted to get his diploma over with. He was glad to have given the opportunity to finish early based on his knowledge instead of wasting his time in a school moving at a slower pace. On the day of Tadashi's meeting with the college, Hiro was bored having nothing to do since his family was busy. Even Mochi didn't want to play with him. He chose to go for a walk down the street of the cafe to get some fresh air. After walking down two blocks he ran into the same freshmen group from the school he went to. By the looks of it, it seemed like they haven't given up on their bot fighting. He shyly greeted them and the boys welcomed Hiro.
"Ya, but we're done serving our hours. Kid, however, we won't be seein' him till a few months. They still haven't figured out where he was gettin' the beer." They talked about their expulsion and Hiro mentioned his new school program. They surprised to hear about him graduating by the end of the year. Wil tells him about the underground bot fighting. From what Hiro learned from Fred, bot fighting in the streets are illegal, especially gambling. The battles tend to run during the night in various locations throughout the city, you have to really pay attention to the hideouts. They are buried deep within the city. Hiro thinks that this could finally be the chance to test his abilities in action again this time with his own creation. Wil gives him a card that has the name of a website and steps to find the web. It also includes a code that is specifically meant for the region area. This was the key access to battle. Although Hiro knew it was illegal, he really wanted to check it out.
It was May and the boys were wrapping up their last few days. Hiro completed all of his courses and Tadashi just finished his finals. By now Hiro had been 13 during the year and Tadashi couldn't be more proud to see that his prodigy of a brother was ending school by his side. Turns out that Hiro has to go to Tadashi's graduation his receive his diploma. Tadashi asks Hiro if he was comfortable going back to the school. He admits that he is nervous, but he isn't scared knowing that his older brother will be there for him.
The day of their graduation comes and Aunt Cass was screaming louder than the parents when her nephews were mentioned. Tadashi couldn't have had a super embarrassing moment when his aunt kept yelling during his valedictorian speech about how adorable he was in his cap and gown. Hiro thanked whoever ruled the Earth that he wasn't chosen to be the embarrassed one. From that day on, the Hamada brothers were free to work on their future.
What are the brothers doing now? Hiro continued to do nothing based on careers but he is being productive in his work. He eventually visited one of the night battles and was astonished by the atmosphere and fighting. For the time being, this could be his way to get money. He eagerly waited to have enough money with his monthly allowance and working with his aunt so we can participate at night. He was able to make a couple of robots for the match which turned out to be great. He was nervous his first fight, but he gained confidence later in the future. He abused his age and innocence to trick his opponent to put his or her guard down. Apparently, when they think a battle is going to be easy, their cockiness blinds their state of mind. Hiro kept his hobby a secret until one night Tadashi found out and lectured on for two hours about breaking the law. Though Hiro loves his brother, he couldn't stop himself attending the battles. Tadashi still loves him back, but he needed keep his patience for his brother.
Tadashi enrolled in his dream school, San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. He was happy with the classes he got placed in and was excited about getting his own lab. It's funny because after doing a project on tracking devices, he used the lesson for his own personal use and sewed some in a couple of Hiro's sweaters. Since Hiro wasn't going to change his mind about going out, Tadashi might as well know where his brother is past his curfew. In the beginning of the first semester he met a couple of new friends in and out of the lab. Tadashi met an African-American who worked at a sushi restaurant outside of the school. He didn't expect the man to be rather...OCD. He expected the man to be tough and serious but when he got to know him he was pretty compulsive and was a man that lived on a system. At least he has someone that can clean up his mess. Another encounter he ran into was a short Korean woman who almost ran over him on his way to school. She seemed different from the rest of the girls he met before but when he helped on her bike one day he liked the fact that she was active and strong, she was independent but that didn't stop her from letting Tadashi become her friend. And finally there was this super tall blonde chick who loved to blow things up. This scared Tadashi at first when he saw her laughing like a maniac once in the lab after a discovery she had made. He had no choice but to ask her for help one day since she probably understood the chemical balance in a human. He noticed the slight changes in her accent when she spoke. She explained to him that she was Latina. To his surprise he didn't really expect her to be Hispanic assuming she was white, but she told and reminded him that they come in this color too. In time he came to love her quirkiness and bright personality. It made him feel positive about himself around her.
Fred was Fred. He the school's mascot and roared the crowd on game nights. Through Tadashi he met the others however he already knew the Korean girl before Tadashi. Let's just say they "got along" pretty well. Well, at least that's what he thought. One night, at the sushi dinner, they hung out and had a good time. They disturbed the people in the room by their laughter after one of the guys' spilt wasabi on his shirt.
"Come on dude you work here! How do you spill wasabi on yourself?" Fred exclaimed.
"I'm gonna you Wasabi from now on." Fred was wiping the tears from his face from laughing so hard.
"Giving nicknames out now?"
"Yea why not! I can call you speedy if you like."
"Absolutely not."
"Fine how about Gogo? You're always in a hurry girl. Chill. 'I gotta go, let's go, I'm gonna go, give it a go-"
"Shut up before I make you go away. I like the name."
"Ooo oo! What about me Freddie?"
"Hmm," Fred thought as he rubbed his chin. "Honey Lemon. Or just Honey for short. You're so sweet and lovable and sometimes your badass Latina side can come out."
Honey squealed in delight, "I love my name! Gracias Freddie."
"Me too." Fred replied. He turned over to Tadashi. "How about you bro? What should I name you?"
"No it's ok Fred, I really don't care for a name."
"You sure? Suit yourself. Alright I have named my angels, I guess you now have to address your master as Fredzilla!"
"No, just Fred." Gogo stated.
As the two playfully argued about Fred's leadership Tadashi was happy about the new friends he finally made and was happy that Fred was able to find real friends too. Even when he can be annoying, they've shown that they love having him around. He hopes that when Hiro meets them one day they will love him for him and not just as Tadashi's brother.
As Tadashi goes through the process of creating his robot, he is supported by friends to help him complete any information he needed. Fred was there for moral support as always. He struggles from his time in the lab and taking care of his brother at home. Hiro started to get ill again and Tadashi wanted to make sure Hiro doesn't do anything stupid to strain his heart. Tadashi made Hiro stay at home in bed all night, not allowing him to go out. Hiro did not like been monitored or being told what to do. It upsets Tadashi seeing that Hiro feels restricted from doing whatever he wanted to do. This is why Tadashi needed to finish his project fast. Wait a second, he hadn't come up with the name of the robot yet! How stupid he thought. As he put Hiro to bed that night he thought of names he could come up with. Nothing. He turned over to Hiro who fallen asleep already and could hear his steady breathing. Tadashi smiled. Baymax
Tadashi was exhausted after 83 tests on the robot. He did not want to give up, but he felt like this might work until week. One last push of the button and Tadashi was already expecting what other bugs needed to fix. He heard the machine turn on and the camera of the eyes open to focus. "Hello, I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion." Tadashi was shocked. He finally did it! He was able to get the robot to turn on functionally. He was far beyond in joy. His life goal was starting to become complete. "Wait 'till my brother sees you."
