Annime: Hello!

Chiro: Hi!

Gibson: Annime doesn't own SRMTHFG or anything belonging to someone else.

Chapter 9

The Super Robot had been in the middle of the park for about two days now and everyone was worried about it. Chiro couldn't help but smile cheeky-like whenever someone expressed their worry about it standing there, watching everyone.

"I know they will be like that for a little while," Antauri had told him. "And I do not blame them. But, soon we will have to show them that we are their friends before they become violent."

Apparently Antauri didn't know the people as well as Chiro did, even though he said he fought for Shuggazoom's protection before. Chiro knew that if the hyper force didn't hurt the citizens, then the citizens wouldn't strike back. They didn't have anything to worry about.

Antauri sat in his room pondering over a question that had come up in previous meetings the monkey team had had without Chiro: Were they going to turn back time again and make everything right? Or, were they just going to let everything be?

Antauri had been for changing everything back to normal. Yes, he enjoyed having his old body back, but they had grown so very close to Chiro and to each other over the years. Starting over seemed impossible, even to him himself; Sprx seemed to agree. Nova had also shown that she wanted to go back to the way things were. But Gibson had informed them that time travel had and always will be dangerous. Do they really want to take the chance when it might not be nessacary?

Antauri couldn't help but ponder over this question, but his feelings made his decision stand. It was a great majority of the team who wanted this. Actually, the WHOLE team wanted it. Gibson was being cautious, as he always had been because of his nature.

Antauri had to make a decision soon, or he knew something bad would happen. They don't know what Skeleton King or Mandarin might have over them, now that they were given a few extra years. If they kept everything the way it was now they might just be putting everyone at risk.

"Antauri," a young voice called into the second in command of the team's room.

Antauri turned to the young teen boy who was peeking into his room.

"Everyone is looking for you," Chiro told the silver simian in his usual happy tone. "We have lunch all ready."

Antauri smiled at the boy and stood up from his place on the ground. He walked with Chiro down to the kitchen where everyone was waiting to start eating.

Gibson was sitting next to Nova while an empty seat meant for Chiro was on his left. Another empty seat was next to that one all fixed for Antauri. On the other side was Otto and Sprx. Two empty chairs sat at Otto's left while Sprx took up his right.

"I'm back," Chiro spoke, holding out the word 'back'. Nova couldn't help but giggle at his 'Chiro-like' antics.

Antauri and the others smiled too, but Antauri could feel that there was a question in the air, and he needed to let the others know his decision.

Chiro sat down and rubbed his hands together. He had been hungry ever since he woke up that morning. He had breakfast, but that didn't seem to settle his hunger down for long.

Antauri followed Chiro by taking the seat next to him. He made eye contact with Gibson before they had all begun to eat.

"So, Antauri," Gibson finally spoke after he swallowed his first mouth full of food. "Is it a go on that project?"

Antauri couldn't help but mentally smirk. Gibson knew how to secretly ask an important question to where no one else, besides those who already knew, understood what was going on.

Chiro didn't ask about it. He barely knew anyone at this table, besides strangely trusting them easily. He didn't suspect to know anything about it even if they explained it to him.

"The project is a go," answered Antauri.

Chiro could hear a sigh of relief from the red simian that across from Nova. He glanced at him for a moment before shrugging it off.

"So," Chiro said, trying to start a conversation he could be in. "Are any of you excited about going to the Flower Festival?"

Otto lifted his head up excitedly before swallowing his huge mouthful of food. "Yea, I'm really excited. I love to smell the pretty flowers!"

Chiro chuckled. "I used to too, until the day I was playing near the flowers and got stung by a bee."

Sprx could not help but cover his mouth and laugh. Otto giggled too.

"K-kid, you got stung by a bee playing in the flowers?" Sprx asked. "To me, that kinda sounds gay."

Chiro stuck his tongue out at Sprx. "I am NOT gay!" Chiro knew Sprx was only teasing, so he had said it in a tone that showed this.

Sprx laughed again. "Kid, I know this, because if you were you would be all over me-,"

Chiro and Nova started laughing hard at this. Chiro shook his head.

"N-no, I really wouldn't," he said.

Nova was cracking up. "And I wouldn't blame him."

Sprx laughed too and soon they were back to eating, although Chiro couldn't stop giggling throughout the whole meal. Each time he did this Nova laughed a little at the memory. Gibson laughed to, along with Otto and Antauri.

After lunch Chiro helped Antauri clear the table and clean the dishes. A question of his was lingering in the air, and Antauri could feel it. Chiro didn't know this though, and was debating on asking him or not.

"Umm…Antauri," Chiro said in a low voice. Antauri turned to him with curiosity.

"Yes, Chiro?" replied Antauri.

"Do you think I'll get my memory back soon?"

"What exactly do you mean?"

"I mean will my memory from when I first met you come back soon?"

Antauri's eyes caught Chiro's in a long stare.

"It should come any day now."

But, both knew that what he really said in his heart was, "I hope so."

Annime: Well, there you go!

Chiro: Annime doesn't own SRMTHFG or anything belonging to someone else!
