Big Hero 6: The Art Thieves

Chapter 24: Dance, Dance, Fun.

As I was getting dressed, the sun was rising. I finished getting ready and sat down on the bed, looking at the bruise on my wrist, it had finished forming through the night. "I should be mad at him. A part of me is, what he did isn't right. Mostly though, I just want to know what had gotten into him. What made him do it?"

I walk out my bedroom door, and down the stairs to the café, still looking at my wrist while walking. I walk into the café and see Hiro out of the corner of my eye, I put my hand down and say good morning to him.

"So, Hiro," I say to him, "Do you have classes today?"

He looks up from his breakfast, "Nope. Today is a free day and there is a new arcade downtown. I was hoping we could go and hang out there and play a few games, if you're up for it?"

I smile and nod as I grab a muffin.

"Sure," I answer. "I bet they have all kinds of games. I really hope they have the dancing game."

Hiro looks at me for a moment. "What's a dancing game?" He finally asks as he takes a bite of his breakfast.

My eyes shine with excitement when I answer, "Only the best game! You have to match the arrows to the beat of the songs, and it just so happens, I'm the master of that game."

Hiro smirks, "Well then, princess, prepare to be dethroned by me."

I giggle and reply, "Whatever bro, you can't beat me!"

As he goes and gets ready, Tadashi comes down. I look at him before turning my nose up at him and looking away. He sighs and grabs an apple before sitting down at the table. After a couple of minutes, Hiro comes back down in light grey shorts and a dark blue shirt, with tools all over it. We call out a goodbye to Aunt Cass and walk out the door.

After we leave, Aunt Cass turns to Tadashi, "Just give it time, she will forgive you. Just hold on."

Tadashi put his head down onto his arms "I just don't know what happened to me. I was fine… and then… I just don't know."

Aunt Cass hugs him.

"That's normal when you have a crush," She tells him. "Don't make it too big a deal."

When we get to the arcade, we take a moment to look around. "This place is huge! I love it!" I exclaim.

Hiro nods and we go get our tokens. I see the dance game and drag Hiro over to it. "Ready to go down?" I challenge him.

He laughs as we start. The music starts up and we both go for it. I continually hit the arrows, Hiro on the other hand, misses quite a few. We finish, with me coming out as the victor.

"See?" I said, watching as my little dancer icon jumps up and down. "I told you that I rock at this game."

He pants as he sits down, "Best two out of three."

He gets back on his feet, still panting a bit.

"I'm still going to win." I smirk.

Hiro pants as he gets ready to battle me again, "In your dreams sis!"

I shake my head and we play again. Second time in a row, I win again and turn to Hiro grinning.

"Face it," I said laughing. "I'll always win. I'm just too good."

Hiro nods as he continues to pant. Suddenly, someone comes up to us, "You think you are the best? I will beat you."

I roll my eyes at the guy. "Yea right," I said. "Let's just dance."

We start to dance and people come up and watch us. Some of them start to cheer, mainly for me. I smile as song gets faster and faster, seeing the other guy miss some. I smirk as we finish the song.

"That was fun." I turn back to the guy. "Thanks for the battle."

He shakes my hand, "You have some major skills."

I blush a little as I reply, "Thanks, you as well."

He walked off and Hiro and I play a few more games before we take a break.

"How did you get so good?" He asks.

"When I was in Japan, it was a popular game and one of the ones that I played most."

Hiro nods and we go and play some more games. As the sun starts to set, we go and get something to eat.

After a while, Hiro turns to me and asks, "So, are you going to forgive my brother? He really didn't mean it."

"Yea, I will." I nod. "My wrist still stings a bit but I'm ready to forgive him."

Hiro smiles and he said, "Thanks so much, sis."

We catch the cable car back and as we enter the café, I see Aunt Cass cleaning up and Tadashi playing with a napkin. I walk up to him.

"I'm not mad at you," I tell him. "What happened was an accident. You were just caught up in the game."

Tadashi smiles at me. "Yeah, I guess I have to try better and not get so wrapped up in the game," He agreed.

I let out a giggle and hug him. "But next time just ask, okay?"

He nods and I head up to my room.

Aunt Cass sends him a sly smile. "See," She said. "What did I tell you? Told you she would come around."

Tadashi nods with a smile and heads up to his room. Hiro turns around and said, "Well, someone just updated their crush level."

Tadashi shakes his head, "I'm just glad it didn't snowball downhill."

Hiro lays on his bed and lets out a groan.

Tadashi looks over at him. "What's wrong with you?" He asks.

Hiro looks up.

"Three rounds of dance fever with Sakura… I'm going to be sore for a while."

Tadashi laughs, "Is she really good?"

Hiro nods. "She took on a random guy and won."

Tadashi looks shocked, "Wow, that's really impressive."

Hiro nods, "Yeah, she is good."

As I'm getting ready for bed, I get a call from my mom. We talk for a while and I'm able to find out when she is coming back. I hang up after saying my goodbyes and I turn out the light.

Tadashi gets into bed and he mutters to himself, "My crush has not levelled up. She was just being nice and kind."

He lets out a yawn, turns out the light and starts to fall asleep.
