Astro was struggling to get out of bed, it was Sunday, no school tomorrow. The doorbell rang, Astro gasped and fell out of the bed, he ran downstairs to open the door.
"Good morning, pookie face!" Brianna greeted as Astro opened the door.
"Good morning, Brianna!" Astro replied, he gestured a hand to let her inside.
"Is anyone awake?" Brianna asked
"Dr. Elefun has an emergency shift, so Uran is probably the only one here" Astro walked over to the kitchen, Brianna followed.
"Hungry?" Astro asked
"A little, I'm not supposed to be here, I sneaked out and skipped breakfast"
"Why didn't you stay home?"
"Well you see… my mom doesn't like robots, at all, so she wasn't too happy to hear that we're dating…"
"But I'm a nice person, I would never hurt you!" Astro had a worried expression on his face
"Try telling that to her" Brianna rolled her eyes.
"Never mind, just forget I asked"
Brianna sat on Astro's bed with a piece of toast, Astro was drawing next to her, the TV was on.
"Whatcha' drawing?" Brianna asked
"I'm not sure" Astro chuckled
"You know, I still gave that drawing you did of you and me, I put it in a frame in my room"
"What are we watching again?"
"Good Morning Metro City, what else?!"
"Oh! I've been drawing so much, I forgot!"
"No you didn't! Sucker!" Brianna teased, laughing
"How'd you know?" Astro laughed
"I guess I'm just really smart!" Brianna leaned in close to Astro and gave him a peck on the cheek, Astro began to blush.
On the TV: "Today, Metro City is opening the ice rink to humans and robots for today only, so come out to the rink robots, because this may be your last chance to show your moves on ice in skates!
"Ooh Astro, let's go ice skating today!" Brianna tapped his shoulder rapidly.
"I dunno, I'm not really that good, and besides I have to watch Uran and-
"Ssh! You worry too much" Brianna put a finger over Astro's lips.
"But-
"Ah!"
"I"
"Nope!"
"Please-
"Uh-uh!"
"Can i-
"In your dreams!"
Astro folded his arms.
"We won't be long; we'll only be an hour, unless you wanna take Uran with you"
"And if I don't?"
"You're still going, no matter what"
"But skating is boring, I just wanna stay home and draw"
"Ugh! Fine, we can stay till Uran wakes up, but then we're going!"
"Okay, may I remind you, she's a heavy sleeper" Astro laughed
9:00 (A. M.)
Brianna was snuggling next to Astro, who still wouldn't tell her what he's drawing.
"You are right, she is a heavy sleeper, when does she wake up?" Brianna asked
"Around 11, 11:30" Astro replied
"So we have about two hours, right?"
"Yep"
"Hey, have you seen the new comedy movie?"
"I saw it twice"
"Damnit!"
"Do you know what tomorrow is?" Brianna asked
"Some religious holiday, I think"
"Oh! No wonder we have it off"
"Yeah, Mr. Mustachio didn't tell you?"
"I'm pretty sure he did, I just forgot"
"No you didn't! Sucker!" Astro said, mimicking what Brianna had said earlier.
"Ha ha, you're so funny!" Brianna laughed.
"You know… I can do an impersonation of Dr. Tenma"
"Please don't"
"Oh my gosh, I have so many guest and I didn't even make tea!" Astro laughed
"Why would you impersonate your father?"
"I dunno..."
"A-Astro?"
"Yes?"
"What would you do if I told you that I loved you?"
"Hmm… I would probably freeze, give you a hug, cry, give you a kiss and say that I love you too"
Brianna froze; she stared right at Astro who smiled at her.
"I- I-"Brianna began to choke up, Astro leaned forward and gave her a warm hug.
Brianna began to feel something new, something she never really felt before. She wondered, was this what love really felt like? She wasn't sure herself, but she felt really warm and sweet on the inside. For a moment, she didn't wanna leave Astro's warm, secure and affectionate arms, she wanted to stay there, forever. She forgot about life and everyone except Astro. There was a long silence, Astro rested his head on top of her and smiled.
9:40 (A. M.)
"Okay Brianna, you can let go now" Astro said
"No thank you, I like it here" Brianna giggled
"Brianna, you're crazy, you know I can't hug you forever!"
"Of course you can, there's no school tomorrow"
"What about the ice rink?"
"Oh that can wait, we've got time" Brianna looked up at Astro and smiled
Astro laughed, he finally got Brianna to hold off skating, he lifted Brianna's head up and gave her a kiss.
"I love you, Brianna" he whispered.
10:00 (A. M.)
"So will you finally tell me what you're drawing?" Brianna was anxious to find out what it was.
"Nope, it's a surprise" Astro playfully teased, both of them laughed.
Brianna got a text on her phone; she saw it was from her mom. She began to read the text, and with every word she read, she was about to cry.
"I- I have to go" Brianna whispered
"Says who?"
Brianna angrily sighed.
"My mom!" Brianna furiously yelled.
"I hate her so much it's not even funny!" Brianna began to notice the unknown feeling was fading away and in its place was a sad, depressing and sympathetic feeling.
"I'm so sorry Astro, you know I'd never do this to you, I'm sorry"
"It's not your fault, Brianna It's just-
"No, it's all my fault, I had to sneak out and ruin everything!" Brianna jumped off the bed and tried to storm out of the room, but Astro stopped her, grabbing her by her arm, he turned her around, she finally got to see what it was he was drawing.
""Oh- Oh, m- my, gh- gosh! It's so… perfect!" Brianna covered her face with her hand as she was crying up a storm. Astro gave her a hug.
"Ssh" Astro cooed
Brianna tried to catch her breath; Astro ran his fingers through her hair and shushed her quietly.
"But I don't wanna go!" Brianna said to Astro.
"Then don't, I'll keep you here" Astro replied
"But I have to go..." Brianna finally caught her breath.
"no you don't, your mom's just threating you, she doesn't mean it"
"You really think so?"
"As an expert in parenting, yes, I really think so"
10:30 (A. M.)
"Uran should be waking up soon" Astro spoke.
"Are you ready to go skating?" Brianna asked, smiling.
"More ready than ever!"
