Big Hero 6: The Art Thieves

Chapter 20: Nicknames and Noogies

As the sun was coming up, I get out of bed and hop into the shower. Aunt Cass has been letting me use her shower, so that I didn't have to share a bath room with the boys. As I was drying off, my phone went off with the ring tone that I set only for Hiro. I send him a reply, letting him know I will be at the lab later. I quickly finish getting dressed, before brushing my teeth and making sure I was ready for the day. I grab my bag and walk down to the café, Aunt Cass hands me a lunch as she says, "Have a good day, I will see you later." Before quickly going back to taking orders from customers.

I nod as I walk out the door and head to school, getting to class just as the bell rings. I go through the day, excited to be heading to the lab after school. When it's my last class for the day, I barely hear a word that is said, too busy watching the clock count down to the last bell. As soon as the bell rings, I throw my books into my bag and rush out of the classroom, jump straight onto my moped, and head to the guys school. I walk in and see the whole gang sitting together, I walk over and say Hello to everyone.

Fred comes over to me and says, "What nickname should I give you?" I look at him and shrug my shoulders, I have never really had a nickname before. He looks at me with a quizzical look on his face before letting out a shout.

I jump as I step back, tripping myself over, landing on the floor I look up at him, "Did you have to shout like that?" I ask him "Why did you shout, anyway?" He laughs as he helps me up off the floor as he replies, "Well, everyone here has a nickname. Well, everyone beside Tadashi, that is." Tadashi blushes and goes back to work as I dust myself off. Fred looks at me saying, "Let's see what I can call you."

I sit down as he goes over the list of names he had come up with. All of a sudden he looks at me with an excited gasp, "I got it, your nickname will be Flower Girl." I look at him as I think about it, "It does fit me. Oh, and I know a nickname for Tadashi."

Fred looks at me excitedly saying. "Well, don't leave us hanging, tell us, tell us." His eyes shine like a little kid with a lollipop and cotton candy that he won at the fair.

I hide a light laugh and I say, "Okay, his nickname is Robot-Geek." Everyone starts to laugh Tadashi pulls his hat over his ears, turning a million shades of red.

Fred grinds his hand on my head, making me wince. "You better get used to the Noogies," Fred said "because there will be more of them if you keep hanging out here." I rub my head as Hiro comes over and he said, "Don't worry sis, he does that to everyone, no matter how many time we tell him to stop." I laugh as I pet his head, making Hiro rolls his eyes, "What did I say about the hair Onee-San?"

I giggle, saying, "I forgot nii-chan, I forgot."

Fred looks at between Hiro and I before saying, "Hiro when did you learn to speak Japanese?" I look at him and said, "Well, I have been teaching him when we have some free time. I also may have been bribing him into learning it." Hiro rolls his eyes and he said, "Well, I am the gummy bear King and she is my gummy bear Queen."

I hide a blush. I try and change the subject by saying, "Hey, lets go get ice cream since we are all together." They all nod, before walking out of the room ahead of me, I turn and see the Tadashi hasn't moved. I walk over to him and say, "Hey, what wrong? I think it's a cute nickname and that it fits you." He doesn't turn around, I sigh and give him a small hug and pat his shoulder. I walk out to meet the group, leaving Tadashi alone.

Tadashi sighs with a cherry red face and leans back into the chair, "She did pick out a good nickname and she did give me a hug."

As we come back, we were chatting for a while when Fred turns to me and asks, "So flower girl, where did live before you moved over here?"

I look up replying, "I lived in Japan ever since I was a baby. But my dad's work made us move here. I was sad about leaving my friends behind, but now I am so happy I did because it has been so much fun meeting all of you." Fred nods and gives me a Noogie making me wince, again, "I will have to get used to that." Fred laughs and hugs me, making me laugh as well. As night falls we head back for dinner. We were talking with Aunt Cass when Tadashi looks up at me and said, "Sakura, sorry for my mood back at the lab, I was working on a project." I smile in response as Hiro shakes his head and rolls his eyes.

After we all finish dinner, we headed up to get ready for bed. Hiro sits on his bed, looking over Tadashi saying, "You know she is not my gummy bear queen, that is just my nickname for her."

Tadashi smiles, "I know otouto."

Hiro gets a sly smile on his face and he said, "Looks like Sakura is rubbing off on you as well."

Tadashi shakes his head as he replies, "That is not happening, I just know some words as well."

As Tadashi gets into bed, he thinks about my hug and he said," I wonder if can get another hug from her." Hiro snickers at this before saying, "She is getting to you and I have the right cards in play."

As I get into bed, I say to myself, "I hope he is in a better mood tomorrow." I then turn off the light and go to sleep
