"Take a look at this Baymax." Honey Lemon was showing the robot a book about Lenore Shimamoto and was the page that talked about City Rising, "amazing..and we saved it!"
"I do not understand the purpose of art." Baymax tells her.
"Well to create art is to be human," she explains, "to be alive."
"I am neither," Baymax tilts his head.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Honey Lemon apologises, "I mean..how can I put this in a way you'll um.." she tries to think of a way to explain to him. "It can be, you know..really good for emotional health! Like art therapy, it helps people."
"I am coded to expand my therapeutic capabilities," Baymax places his arm on his chest, "perhaps I should increase my understanding of art."
"Oooh I can teach you!" Honey Lemon exclaims. "To me, art is about expressing your feelings!"
"Do you mean like this?" Baymax shows on his screen the ten smiling faces when he asks a patient "on a scale of one to ten".
"Hmm, not exactly." Honey Lemon points out, her attention turns to the lab door being opened, "Oh my god!"
Hiro walks in, still covered in red paint, "Hiro what happened!" Honey Lemon screams, running to check on him.
"Hiro is covered in red paint, do not be alarmed." Baymax tells her, "this red paint is non-toxic."
"So I guess your demo wasn't a masterpiece?" Honey Lemon asks him.
"More of a disaster-piece," Hiro grumbles.
"Hey! Check out this funny video Mikan showed me!" Fred walks in, he shows a video that was filmed of Hiro's failure in class.
"Uh..Fred that's me in the video." Hiro frowns, Honey Lemon shaking her head at her friend.
"Hey! That is you!" Fred exclaims, "maybe try to imagine it's another guy! See? Now you're laughing," he then notices the expression on Hiro's face. "Wait, that's a grimace, I'm sorry."
"It's okay Hiro," Honey Lemon gives him a pat on the shoulder and tries to comfort him, "we learn more from our failures than our successes."
"Uh you know what? It's no big deal," Hiro shrugs it off, feeling confident he'll get it right next time, "I've got a ton of better ideas I'll just do one of those!" he walks off to his lab to get to work, "the better ones!"
"Optimism," Baymax states.
Later in the day, Hiro thought he'd check on David and ask him for any advice on his seismic project. He thought of using a maglev isolation system, until Gogo told him that was what she did when she was a freshman. So he tossed the idea out, and was on his way to David and Sara's shared lab.
"Hey David," he knocked on the door and went in, David was at work making edits to his model. But he didn't hear Hiro over the noise of him using his tools.
"Hey David!" Hiro yells a little louder, that got his attention, David stops working and steps back from his model.
"Oh, hey Hiro," he takes off his goggles, there were bags under his topaz eyes, "shouldn't you be working on your demo as well? You did way worse than me."
"I'm just taking a little break," Hiro grumbles, not needing a reminder of his failure. "Thought I'd ask you for advice."
"Hmm," David hums, "not much I can tell you for tips, only that you shouldn't copy someone's project, doesn't give you a better grade."
"Huh, okay," Hiro nods, "hey uh..how did you predict that your model was going to break exactly when it did?"
"Well," David chuckles, "I might be blind but my hearing is sharp, I heard my model starting to break on the inside and knew it would crack soon."
"That's... really impressive, David." he exclaims, "I better get back to work, good luck with your project!"
"Thanks Hiro!" David smiles, "if you need any help you can always come to me for advice, us first-semester freshman need to work together!"
"I will!" and he exits the lab door, on his way back to his lab however, he ran into an annoying someone.
"Still drying from the wet paint Genius Boy?" Karmi asked him, he just rolled his eyes.
"For your information, I am just on my way back to finish my project," he huffed, "which will do much better than your 'nickel titanium' in every way."
"Suuuure," Karmi chuckled, "I'm looking forward to seeing it in class."
"Wow, you're terrible at sarcasm," he notes.
"Well I've been working less on my sarcasm and actually doing the work in class!" Karmi exclaimed, starting to walk away. "That's why you don't take shortcuts!"
He watches her walk away, puzzled by her last statement. "Weirdo," it didn't matter anyway, he already had thought of an idea that would guarantee success.
Ferns and Nerds group chat:
Honey Lemon: Hey Hiro are you okay?
Hiro Hamada: Uhhhhg, no
Honey Lemon: Sorry!
Hiro Hamada: Its fine, thank you for telling me that you already did a quick flexible foam for your seismic project
TheLittleMermaid: Maybe don't take shortcuts Hiro!
Hiro Hamada: Did you get that from Karmi?
TheLittleMermaid: No…?
Mikan Ferns: Did she say the same thing, wow great minds do think alike
Mikan Ferns: And actually do their homework
Hiro Hamada: Shut up Mikan!
Honey Lemon: Guys cool it D :, don't be mean!
"Hey Hiro, are you okay?" Ari was checking in on him after noticing his behavior for the past few days, he was frustrated with..something.
"I'm alright, but my latest demo is a bust," Hiro grumbles, gesturing to the model he tossed in the trash can. Ari went over to get a closer look.
"What's this?" she questioned, it looked like an average model but there was an airbag on the bottom.
"A model with high strength airbags.." Hiro hits his head on the desk, "turns out my brother did the exact same thing when he was a freshman."
"Ouch," Ari winces, "I'm sure you'll figure something out, just keep trying!"
"I know, Wasabi and Honey Lemon said the same thing to me awhile ago," Hiro sighed, "I'm just super tired."
"Me too," Ari took a seat next to him, "I'm tired of not knowing who I am."
Hiro gave her a puzzled look, so she took a deep breath and explained. "I'm tired of having freaking amnesia, I know that I've been remembering some more stuff lately but it's so slow! And cryptic! One day I remember some of my family the next of something stupid! Like looking through random facts on the internet." She brings a hand to her head, "I just wanna know who I am, and where my family is."
"You're Ariel Rosemary," Hiro speaks up, she turns to look at him. "You're very supportive of me, and the others, your smile and cheery attitude brings a smile in our lives. Even though you forgot a lot of things, you still keep that positive attitude wherever you go, so cheer up."
"Thanks Hiro," she gives him a hug, "I'm so glad you're my friend," though sometimes she felt like Hiro was something more than a friend but it was something to think about for another day.
"You're welcome," he hugs back, "well I better get back to working on my demo."
"Alright," she turns to leave the lab, "remember you got this Hiro!" He smiles, she was right, he's got this.
"I've got nothing." Hiro couldn't come up with anything for the demo, so he had to tell Granville he was empty-handed.
She writes down something in her notebook. Dejected, Hiro walks back to his desk and tosses his notebook to the side. But the notebook hits another student's model.
"Ah!" he exclaims as the model starts to shake, the shaking causes the model to activate its airbag which hits the model next to it. And it causes a domino effect as students models start being activated and hitting each other. He flinches as all the models start causing chaos, and then he's knocked onto the ground with a model with legs.
"Got it," Karmi chuckles, recording what was going on, a few other students were filming as well.
"Professor Granville I am so, so sorry." Hiro turns to Granville, who has a neutral expression on her face, "it was an accident."
The model with legs bumps into a table, which causes someone else's model to fall off the desk, "Hey!" It was David's model. He goes to pick it up, but then feels the cracks as his model was broken by the fall.
"Dammit!" he yells, the harshness of his yelling causes the nearby students to flinch and step away, including Hiro who was about to be on the receiving end of his anger.
"Do you know how many hours I spent constructing this Hiro?!" David stomps over, holding his broken model in his hands, his eyes were full of rage. "I'm going to have to start all over again because of your recklessness! Try to be considerate of other people for once!"
Hiro couldn't speak up, he was frightened by how angry David was..he was always so good natured, he didn't believe anger was an emotion David could feel.
"C-calm down." Karmi speaks up, trying to get David to stop yelling, but instead he turns on her.
"You stay out of this!" he hisses, Karmi takes a few steps back in fear. "Why don't you just leave? You have a knack for being by yourself, so act on it like you always do!"
"Mr. Ferns!" Granville speaks up, having heard enough, "control your temper, and knock it off."
David in response grumbles and goes back to his seat, not wanting to test Granville. She turns to the rest of the students, "you are all dismissed to repair your models, except you Mr. Hamada, I'd like to have a word."
As the students pick up their broken models and leave class to fix them back up, Hiro glances at David. He was so angry..then he turned to Karmi, whose model was one of the few that didn't get broken in all the chaos, and notices the glum expression on her face as she picks up her model. What David said must've gotten to her, I don't like Karmi but even that was cruel..then he sighs and walks up to Granville.
"Mr. Hamada, is something going on with you?" she questions, "you usually don't give up on things like this."
"I'm just..no good at this." Hiro frowns.
"Mr. Hamada, I'm the one who tells people they're no good. Don't take my favorite part of the job away." Granville jokes, trying to lighten the mood somewhat.
"Well, go ahead, enjoy." Hiro glances away from his professor, having given up at this point.
"No," she shook her head, "I'm not letting you off that easy. You are going to rise to this challenge!"
"But what if I'm not really good at this? What if I fail again?" Hiro questions her.
"Then you fail again, after which, you try again." she replies.
"Professor G?" Karmi walks up with her model in her hands, "my new prototype is ready to go! But if you want Hiro to say he's no good a few more times, totally your call!"
Hiro rolled his eyes, "haha, very funny Karmi." He sneered at her. "Quit poking fun at the fact that I'm a failure."
His harsh words surprised her. "Well, then maybe you should prove me wrong," she tells him. They both glare at each other until Granville speaks up.
"You two can have your discussion after class," Granville tells them, they both looked away from each other.
Later in the afternoon, Honey Lemon and Baymax were at the San Fransokyo Museum of Art to watch City Rising being placed back on the wall.
"Ooh this is so exciting Baymax!" Honey Lemon exclaims, "City Rising is back where it's supposed to be!"
"Don't worry," the security guard tells them, "nobody's getting it on my watch, not this time." he places a red velvet rope around the painting for protection.
"Hey hey hey!" Sara walks up to them, waving finger guns, "what's cooking Honey Lemon?"
"Hey Sara!" Honey Lemon waves at her and smiles, "you seeing City Rising as well?"
"Yep, I hope Globby doesn't come back," Sara replies, "what would a globby monster want with a priceless painting?"
"I don't know, but he shouldn't steal it." she frowns.
"Hello Sara," Baymax waves, "your stress levels are elevated, would you like a hug?"
"Oh I could use one right now thanks," Sara gives him a hug, feeling more relaxed as Baymax patted her head.
"You okay Sara?" Honey Lemon raises an eyebrow.
"Yeah..it's just David," she sighs, "he's been really moody since his blood mother was arrested, he even snapped at the teen geniuses in class today!"
"Oh no," Honey Lemon gasps, "I hope he feels better soon."
"Me too, but he shouldn't take his anger out on the kids," Sara grumbles, "I'm gonna make him apologize later, he said some hurtful things to Hiro and Karmi."
"Hmm, do you want to join Baymax and I as we look around the museum?" she offers, "I'm going to teach Baymax about art!"
"Eh sure," Sara shrugs, "I do love looking at the pretty pictures."
They walk around the museum, with Honey Lemon attempting to teach Baymax about art, however the robot kept looking at it from a medical standpoint. Which was starting to make Honey Lemon frustrated, Sara just watched, then she noticed Fred walking by.
"Hey Fred!" she waved, he didn't give a verbal response but he waved back. "Whatcha lookin at?" she saw him walking over to a corner of the room. Where a stuffy art critiquer with a mustache was looking at the melted water fountain.
"'Caution: Water Hazard' such a bold statement about the futility of existence," the critic declared, "I would give anything to meet the genius of this masterpiece."
Fred then steps in, "Allow me to introduce myself, Frederick Fredrickson the Fourth, master of this piece."
"Really?" Sara raised an eyebrow, Fred made that?
The critic gasps, "A pleasure sir, you have moved me." he gives a gentleman's kiss to Fred's hand.
"Cool," Fred smiles at the praise.
"Is this also art?" Baymax questions.
"Well, duh, of course it is!" Fred places his hands on his hips.
"Well duh indeed!" the critic mimics his movement.
Honey Lemon sighs, she drags Baymax away, "maybe that's enough for today."
Sara follows after them, "wait for me!"
They don't get very far, as a faint "ow" sound is heard but not loud enough for the healthcare companion to pick it up.
"Did you hear that?" Honey Lemon looked around for the source of the noise.
"Art must be seen, felt, and heard?" Baymax questions, "art is..complicated."
The source of the noise falls out of the vent, "woah..owww!" and falls on top of the rather spiky sculpture.
"Dangit Globby!" Sara exclaims at the sight of the glob monster, "stop trying to rob the museum!"
"Don't touch!" the security guard tells him, "that's all I'm paid to say, 'don't touch' I did my job. Everybody saw it, now out of my way!" he runs out of the museum.
"Yeah I'm out!" Sara also runs for the exit, too focused on getting out to realize that Honey Lemon, Baymax, and Fred, were not following suit.
"Yeah he's over here," Ari pointed to the garage, where Hiro was trying to brainstorm an idea for his seismic project.
"Thanks Ari," Gogo told her, she and Wasabi were starting to get concerned for Hiro, so they were going to check up on him. They walk into the garage, just as Hiro tosses a paper ball, but Gogo catches it and opens it only to find it was blank. "Did you just crumple up and throw away a blank piece of paper?" she questioned.
"I was just trying to save some time," he takes it from her hand, "I would've thrown it out anyways if I did have something on it."
"Okay," Gogo raises one of her arms, "this is gonna hurt you more than it's gonna hurt me."
"What are you doing?" Wasabi grabs her hand.
"Slapping him out of it," she replies.
"You can't do that!"
"You got a better idea?"
"Hmm," Wasabi clears his throat. "Oh Hiiiiro stop your fretting, Hirooo!" He sings in opera style, it shocks Hiro so much he falls out of his chair.
Gogo stares at him with wide eyes, "what was that?"
"Consider it a musical slap to the face," he replies.
"Oh..I do," Gogo's phone rings and she reads the message, "Globby's back."
"Let's go!" Hiro gets back up and punches Wasabi in the shoulder.
"Um..one problem, my car is still stuck at the bottom of the bay," Wasabi explains. It had been left there after the terrifying chase with Cal..the masked villain villain they labeled "Yokai", he didn't want to think about that right now.
"How are we supposed to get there then?" Hiro questions.
"I have a rental car," Wasabi tells them, "come on let's go suit up and meet the others."
The drive to the museum was peaceful up until Gogo hijacked the rental car's circuits to make it go at a supersonic speed, when they got to the museum they all got out of the car panting.
"Tell me you brought our super suits!" Fred exclaims, in response Wasabi opens the back trunk which has Fred, Baymax, and Honey Lemon's suits.
Wasabi goes to get them out, "it's a little tight.." he struggles to get them out of the trunk.
"Where's Globby?" Hiro questions.
"He's got the Shimamoto, but the museum's on lockdown," Honey Lemon answers him.
"So he's trapped inside?" Gogo raises an eyebrow.
"Subpar villain's gonna subpar," Fred gestures with his arms.
Behind them Wasabi exclaims, "ah! Got a helmet!" He tosses it at Fred, who is knocked into the ground.
As they put on their superhero suits, Baymax lifts up the metal door. Globby had tried to use the sharp sculpture as a battering ram, but since the door opened he ended up tripping down the stairs.
"Oh, watch your step!" Fred exclaims as he rolls down the stairs and the sharp sculpture punctures him. Everyone winces at the glob monster's painful fall. "Ouch…" Fred winces.
"Ya think?" Globby reforms himself and sneers in a sarcastic manner.
"He's going for the painting!" Honey Lemon exclaims as Globby stretches his arms and snatches City Rising yet again.
"Well he's got stick-to-it-iveness," Gogo notes.
"Aha!" Globby throws globs at Wasabi who deflects it with his plasma blades, Fred jumps behind Globby and Honey Lemon throws a chem ball.
"Nope!" Globby grabs the chem ball and throws it at Fred, which causes him to freeze, "not today!"
He then turns into a ball and starts to bounce away, "oh no you don't!" Wasabi tries to block him but Globby rolls on top of him. "Uhg..I got some in my mouth," he gags at the bad taste on his mouth.
"Spit it out and let's go after this blob," Gogo skates over and then goes after Globby.
"Get him Gogo! I know you can!" Honey Lemon tosses her a chem ball as she skates after the glob monster.
"Right behind you," Hiro gets on top of Baymax and flies after her.
Wasabi notices Fred is still frozen and cuts him out with his plasma blades, "thank you Wasabi!" Fred then gestures for him to get on his back, "climb on!"
"Alright," Wasabi climbs on his back, "just don't jump-"
Fred leaps into the air, "too hiiiiiigh!"
As Globby rolls down the street he bounces with joy, "Hehe!" he dodges a chem ball.
Bounce.
"I did it!"
Bounce.
"My first successful art heist!"
Bounce.
"Who's a subpar villain now!"
Bounce.
"I'm-"
Thud.
He hits Baymax and splatters on his chestplate, "that painting does not belong to you." the robot tells him.
"And thank you for returning it," Hiro snatches the painting from Globby's grasp, the glob monsters splatters into a puddle on the ground.
"Oh that is just not fair.." Globby grumbles, reforming his top half, "why do I even try anymore.."
Gogo shakes over, "Honey, let's freeze him and seize him."
Honey Lemon drives the rental car and tosses a chem ball at Globby.
"Aaah!" Globby ducks, his body turning into water before the chem ball can freeze him, and he slips into the nearby drain.
"Did he just...melt?" Gogo questions.
"Well that's new," Fred lands behind her, with Wasabi still clinging to him like a koala, "and concerning.."
Elsewhere, Globby exits in the drain at the city outskirts. "I can into water now?!" he reforms into his humanoid globby shape, "wonder what else I could do?"
"Hmmm, metal!" he tries to imagine his arm turning into metal, the neurotransmitter on his head beeping as it happens, but the weight of the metal causes his arm to clang to the ground, "ouch!" he turns it back to normal, "it worked at least, what else can I do?"
"Ice!"
"Rock!"
"Chocolate! Mhmmm!"
"Wood! Mmmm ahhh!...maybe not that…" It made his balance unstable and he fell.
"Brick! Ow!"
"Chocolate! Mhmmm! Double mhmm!"
"Cookie dough!"
"Cotton candy!"
"Chocolate! With ice cream! And caramel!"
"And whipped cream!" he tries to spray whip cream but it doesn't come out, he inspects his finger and the whipped cream hits him, "ow!..whipped cream in my eye!"
"Mhhhmm, I'm delicious," Globby enjoys the chocolate with ice cream he created.
"This could be very useful.." He turns his arm into a hammer and breaks the sewer vent.
"And powerful...very powerful.." Globby gives an evil smirk, Big Hero 6 was in for a surprise next encounter…
AN: Art! Angry David! Globby stealing art! What else will happen?
Well we've seen the episode, but I hope you guys enjoyed all the extra Karmi moments I added. Her rivalry with Hiro is very amusing n.n, hopefully I was able to write it as playful banter.
Also I wanted to make a statement: cuz I had to delete a review that did this
Please don't put "advice" on what you want me to do in this story, cuz I see reviews like that a lot and it bugs me tons! Just enjoy the story and don't boss the writer! Had to say that
Now for questions:
smooch119: Who was that girl with David?
You'll find out : ), it won't be until a while tho..like chapter 35. Dw tho she's not a major "major" character if you're worried. I know that a lot of people aren't fans of lots of OCs involved with the main story.
Question of the week: favorite supervillain of the show? you know mine and if you don't...reread chapters 4-6.
