Big Hero 6: The Art Thieves
Chapter 22: Bets, Bot Fights, Blackmail and Bros
The sun is only just coming up as I sat up in bed, having only just woken up. I get out of bed and quickly get ready for school. As I walk down to the kitchen, I'm greeted by the sight of Hiro, who comes up to me.
"So, sis," He said. "Are you going to tell Tadashi that you like him today?"
I blush and shake my head.
"Nope," I reply. "That is not going to happen."
Hiro shoots me an evil smile.
"Well, I will just tell him for you," He said. "Unless you do something for me that is."
I stare at him, confused.
"What do you have in mind?" I ask warily.
He laughs a bit, "We're going to a bot fight tonight… And if you don't come with me, I will tell Tadashi all about your crush on him and how you feel."
I let out a growl.
"But that's blackmail!" I exclaim. "You would do that to your own sister?!"
Hiro nods.
"Ok," I said. "But if we don't get into trouble, you have to put on a tutu and a tiara and dance Swan Lake in front of the whole gang with pale pink ballet slippers!"
Hiro lets out a groan, before nodding.
"Ok, deal but I know we won't get into trouble."
I just shake my head as I head towards the door, ready to start my journey to school and what will be a full day of classes ahead of me.

At the lab, Tadashi looks at Hiro.
"I might stay a little later tonight to get some work done," He said. "So I want you in bed by the time I get home."
"Sure," Hiro nods as he replies. "I will be in bed when you get home."
Tadashi goes back to his work and Hiro quickly sends a text.
*page break*
'Looks like we are still on for tonight and looks like we won't get into trouble so be ready later tonight.' The text I've just received from Hiro reads. Luckily for me, the teacher wasn't paying attention to me and I was able to read it right away, rather than having to wait until the end of class.
I let out a sigh as the class ends and as I leave the school, I smile.
"That means he has to put on the tutu! So looks like I get to blackmail him now," I laugh to myself as I walk.
As I head into the cafe I say hi to Aunt Cass. By the time Hiro eventually walks in, I'm already doing my homework. He grabs a cookie as he looks at me.
"Ready for tonight?" He asks.
I give a quick nod, not even looking up from my homework.
"Oh yea," I said. "What size tights do you wear? So I know what tutu to pick out."
Hito laughs.
"You're lucky Tadashi won't be here tonight so I win," He grinned.
"There is one person that will know," I reply, smirking at him as I look up from my homework.
I point to Aunt Cass and Hiro blinks.
"Oh, she goes to bed early so no problem there," He answers after a moment.
I growl, "I'm still going to blackmail you, like it or not!"
Hiro laughs again.
"There's no way you can. I am Hiro, the master! There is nothing you can pin on me!"
I shake my head and laugh as I close my book.
"Ok, then," I said. "What time do I have to be ready by?"
Hiro thinks for a second.
"I think around 11:00, that way we can be back in time, before Tadashi gets back," He answers.
*page break*
As the clock hits eleven, I'm ready. I'm grabbing my keys when suddenly Hiro pops up causing me to jump,
"Don't give me a heart attack, Hiro!" I exclaim.
He just gives me a gap tooth smile in response before we head to the ring, where the battle starts.
I watch Hiro as he wins a few battles. I cheer him on, but as the night goes on I look at him and quickly get his attention.
"We have to go," I said. "Tadashi will be coming back soon."
Hiro shoots me a glare.
"How do you know?" He questions.
I look at him, unimpressed.
"Because his moped is at the top of the hill," I answer.
We both race back to the café. Once we're both safely back inside, I turn to him.
"Come on," I said. "We need to play it cool, like now!"
I quickly dash into my bedroom and hop onto my bed, where I lean back before calling out to Hiro.
"Oh bro, you will look great in a tutu and matching tiara! This is going to be so much fun."

Elsewhere, Hiro goes into his bedroom and pulls the covers back on his bed before sitting down.
"There's no way sis is going to blackmail me!" He mutters to himself. "She is so wrong."
He pulls off his shoes and tosses them to the floor before lying back and pulling the covers over his head to make it look like he is asleep.
"There is no way she will blackmail me," He continues to mutter to himself. "She loves me too much and I have blackmail on her as well."
As he hears the door open and the bells ring and Hiro nods to himself.
"Good, right on time," He smiles.
Tadashi walks up to Hiro's bedroom door and pauses for a second before entering quietly.
"Good night, Hiro," He said.

As I get ready for bed I get into my pyjamas and smile to myself.
"I can't want to see Hiro dance this is going to be so much fun!"
