"So you're telling me. That you were in a closet. Alone. With cute little gap tooth boy. And you guys didn't even make out a little."

A pillow flew across the room and hit Shai in the face.

"Oww! What? That was a valid question!" She tossed the pillow aside mumbling. "It's not like you've had any problem with that before."

This time she dodged the pillow.

"Shai that was one time, and I was drunk."

"Which was hilarious by the way."

"How was I supposed to know the punch was spiked?!"

"It was a high school party! Everything is spiked!"

Airi pouted and laid back on the bed. Hiro hadn't texted her yet but it had only been a day. Maybe he was waiting for her to text first. Would that be weird? She did ask for his number though so it's only fair that he text her first. Right?

"Mami you need to calm down. I can feel your stress over here."

"I'm not stressing."

"Ay Dios mio! If he doesn't text you by tonight then text him ok. But for right now we need to get it crackin' on this History project or imma fail for real."

Airi sighed. She was right. She had to get past high school first before she even dreamt of getting into SFIT or any college for that matter.

"Ok so I was thinking, what if instead of a PowerPoint we do like a 3D thing."

Hiro was gonna bang his head against the wall. He had a big paper due in a week and he hadn't even started it. He was a builder not a writer. He groaned pushing his chair around in circles. This was getting him nowhere. He headed downstairs intending to get some fresh air. Maybe he would he would work on some upgrades in the garage.

"Hiro. How's the research paper going sweetie?" Aunt Cass asked as he was half way through the door.

"Great Aunt Cass. I'm gonna go do some work in the garage. See ya."

"That's my nephew. He's in college!" She told the person that she was serving. Hiro shook his head and walked out into the cool night air. He took two steps on the sidewalk when a voice cried out.

"Look out!" Hiro jumped out of the way, but the biker hit their brakes so hard that they fell over.

"Oww."

There was bike and legs and their jacket had flown up so that it was covering their face.

"Oh jeez are you ok?" He asked grabbing the purple tasseled handle. Wait. "Airi?"

Her struggling legs paused and then relaxed.

"You have got to be kidding me." She said.

Hiro pried the bike from her legs and propped it on the wall.

"C'mon." He said reaching out his hand. The jacket still covered up her face muffling her voice.

"No. That's ok. Just leave me here. It's for the best." He kneeled by her face and pulled her jacket down.

"We need to start meeting under better circumstances."

"Agreed." She allowed him to help her up and brushed herself off.

"Are you ok?" He asked again.

"Yeah. My knees are a little scratched up, but I'll be fine."

"Baymax can fix that up for you." Hiro said.

"Oh you don't have to-."

"C'mon. It is kinda my fault that you fell."

"Well...yeah."

He smiled and grabbed her forearm pulling her inside the cafe.

"This is your aunts café? It's nice."

"Yeah, maybe sometime we could-."

"Hiro you're back so soon." Aunt Cass said noticing him. Her eyes traveled from him to Airi who he was still attached to. "And you brought a girl."

"Airi, Aunt Cass. Aunt Cass, Airi."

"Wow. You are so pretty. She's pretty Hiro."

"Thank you ma'am." She said politely. Hiro tugged on her arm. "You have a lovely café."

"Thank you honey."

"Well now that everyone knows each other she need some first aid so we're just gonna..."

"Oh my. What happened?"

"I fell."

"Right outside?"

"Yup. Clumsy me." She said rocking on her heels.

"Aunt Cass?" Hiro begged quietly.

"Oh I'm sorry. Take her to Baymax. Nice meeting you sweetie."

"You too ma'am."

"Oh call me Aunt Cass."

"Ok! Let's go." Hiro said. They made their way upstairs and into Hiro's room. He bent down and pressed a finger to her knee.

"Oww! What was that for!" Suddenly the box in the corner opened up and Baymax inflated out of it. He waddled over to Airi and held up his hand.

"Hello. I am Baymax. Your personal health care companion. I heard a sound of distress. What seems to be the trouble."

"I scraped my knees."

"Scanning. Scan complete. You have a slight dermal abrasions on your knees. I will administer an antibacterial spray. There might be slight stinging."

Baymax sprayed both her knees. And stood back up.

"You have been a good girl. Have a lollipop." She giggled and took the lollipop out of his hands.

"That you Baymax."

"I can not deactivate until you say. You are satisfied with your care."

"I am satisfied with my care."

Baymax went back over to his box and deflated.

"So that's what he does when he's not saving little girls from being arrested." She said.

"Yep. That's actually what my brother made him for."

"Brother? I didn't know you had one."

"Yeah. He um...there was an accident a couple years ago."

"Oh. I'm sorry I brought it up."

"No it's ok. I did. Tadashi wanted to help a lot of people with Baymax. So that's what we do."

"Tadashi like the building at your school?"

"Yeah, it's in his honor."

"He seems like a pretty cool guy."

"Yeah, he was."

A silence fell over the room and Airi felt like it was her fault. It was the first time she had seem Hiro frown and she didn't like it.

"Hey there's a party tomorrow night some kids at school are throwing. I wasn't planning on going, but maybe we could go together."

"Like a date?" He asked a blush creeping up his neck.

"Well not exactly. Shai would be there of course and a bunch of other people. But we can call it that if you want."

"Nah. I want our first date to be a real date."

"Is this your way of asking me out?"

"Didn't you technically ask me out first?"

"No genius...I asked you to accompany me...and Shai, to a social event."

"So like a three way date."

"You can't date Shai!"

"Hmm. I guess I just have to date you then." He said smugly.

Airi smiled and laughed bashfully.

"You're too cute for your own good. You know that?" She said still laughing.

"It's a gift and a curse."

She bit her lip and reached over to grab his arm. His felt her lips press against his cheek for a second and she quickly retracted looking down at the floor.

"That's for helping me and everything. It was really sweet."

"No problem." he said his hand drifting up to his face.

"Well I have to go home. My dad's probably wondering where I am. Bye Hiro."

He watched her walk out of his room and panicked.

"Wait! Do you want me to walk you home!"

Her eyes lit up, but then she frowned.

"I don't think that's a good idea. I don't think my dad would appreciate me coming home late with a boy."

"Oh yeah, of course. So then I'll see you tomorrow night."

"I'll pick you up at 8." She said smiling. She disappeared into the café and Hiro sighed contentedly. This girl thing didn't seem as hard as he thought it would be.
