Big Hero 6: Bigger, Badder, Better!
Chapter 3 - I liked her first!
I don't own Big Hero 6 or any of the characters involved
Honey Lemon looked up from the phone back at Gogo. "What are you gonna do?"
"I... don't know."
"You should at least answer him."
"Why? He couldn't even say it in person!"
"But considering the situation, it's understandable why he used his phone."
Gogo took her phone back and stared at the glowing screen for a few minutes. "I'll talk to him tomorrow." She walked back out to her male friends
"Gogo! Just in time! We're gonna watch 'Monster Mayhem' and eat some freshly made popcorn! Come join us so you can call the movie pointless and I can try and convince you that it isn't." Fred grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth before sitting comfortably next to Hiro.
"Yeah... Look, guys, that sounds great! But I have other things to do."
"You do?" Hiro stood up and walked over to Gogo.
"Yeah, just some stuff."
Hiro noticed how she was rubbing her phone constantly with her thumb and the redness in her cheeks. "Did... did you get a message?" He eyed the phone in panic.
"What?! No, Hiro, don't worry about it! I'll see you later." Gogo ran out of the room almost as quick as her skating.
"What's got her all worked up?" Wasabi and Fred shared a confused look.
Honey Lemon walked out and all three guys were staring at her. "Uh... hey, guys."
"What's wrong with Gogo?" Hiro questioned first.
"Gogo? Oh, nothing! Why do you ask?" She laughed nervously.
"Why? Well she just ran out of that door at lightning speed!" said Wasabi.
"Yeah! And she turned down arguing over 'Monster Mayhem' with me as well! So unlike her." Fred rested his head on his palm.
"You guys are just overreacting!" Honey Lemon laughed nervously again. "By the way, where's Aunt Cass?" She looked around and couldn't see her
"She went upstairs when you and Gogo were talking, and we decided to watch this movie; she didn't really seem interested."
"Oh! Okay, well, you guys enjoy your movie! I need to speak with Aunt Cass for a bit." Honey Lemon walked quickly towards the stairs before racing up each step.
"I'll be right back." Hiro also raced up the stairs, muttering to himself, "Girls are so weird."
"Does anyone wanna watch the movie?" Fred's excitement now deflated.
"I'm sure they do, but something's going on... Something big," Wasabi said, now staring at the stairs.
Hiro quietly crept towards the room. He could hear Honey Lemon and Aunt Cass's voices coming from a room, and he pressed his ear against the door to listen.
"...she isn't sure on what to do; she's never had a boy confess something like that to her before," came Honey Lemon's voice, muffled.
"Confess?" Hiro's heart rate sped up as he heard his aunt speak. "It can be very confusing for most when something like this happens, whether it's over a text or in person. If she has resolved to talk to him then she's handling the situation very well."
"You sure?"
"Yes. As you know, Gogo has a tough exterior, but inside, she's still a girl, and when feelings like these come into play, her outer wall will either crumble or become even tougher. There isn't much we can do but support her. From what you tell me, she seems interested in him as well."
"She is, and you're right! I'll support her in any way I can! Thanks, Aunt Cass."
Hiro was almost ready to jump through the roof. "She's interested!" His smile was huge and wide.
"So what's this boy's name, anyway?"
"Wasp"
"What?!" Hiro's happiness was cut short. "Wasp? My message doesn't reach her, but his does?! I liked her first!" Hiro punched the door.
"Liked who first, Hiro?" A voice came from behind Hiro and he jumped up in a panic. "Baymax! Don't scare me like that!"
"Once again, your heart rate was rising and your temperature was above normal. Is this because of Gogo?"
"What? No, Bayma—" Hiro stopped talking when he realized the door was open and Aunt Cass and Honey Lemon were looking at him. "Hey..." He awkwardly waved his hand.
"Hiro? What are you doing?" Aunt Cass frowned at the scared boy.
"Nothing..."
"His heart rate was rising" Baymax raised his finger as if to make a point.
"Baymax!" Hiro shouted at the robot through gritted teeth.
"Hiro, were you eavesdropping?" Honey Lemon asked, now matching Aunt Cass's face.
"No! I wasn't…! Much." he looked down in guilt.
"Why would you do that?"
"I do believe it is because of Gogo." Baymax stood forward. His stomach glowed, showing a video recording of Hiro:
"Wasp? My message doesn't reach her, but his does?! I liked her first!" Hiro punched the door.
Baymax's screen turned off. Honey Lemon was staring at Hiro, who was staring at Baymax.
"Baymax... why do you always do this to me?" Hiro groaned.
"I do what I believe is best for my patients. Gogo makes Hiro happy, so I will do what I can to bring Gogo and Hiro closer."
"You know how hard it is to stay mad at you when you say stuff like that?" Hiro still felt angry, but he had a slight smile on his face.
"You like Gogo, Hiro?" Honey Lemon knelt down to Hiro.
"Yeah... I do."
Honey Lemon lightly flicked the boy's nose.
"Ow! What was that for?"
"Scanning," Baymax said, as a blue light shined on Hiro. "Scan complete. Slight pain located on the tip of your nose. The pain will subside within a few seconds."
"Thanks, Captain Obvious."
"You are welcome, Co-Captain Obvious."
"Right... Why did you flick me?" Hiro rubbed his nose and turned to Honey Lemon.
"Because why didn't you say anything sooner? Now it's too late! She's going to start taking an interest in this new boy because you wouldn't woman up!"
"I was embarrassed!"
"So? Girls get just as embarrassed, you know?"
"I guess..."
"She hasn't talked to him yet! Maybe if you go now, you can talk to her first!" Aunt Cass quickly added.
"You think so?" both Hiro and Honey Lemon them stood up.
"I do think so! Now go!"
"Okay! Come on, buddie! I gotta tell Gogo how I feel!"
"I am coming." Baymax and Hiro started moving as quickly as they could downstairs towards the garage.
Hiro and Baymax were walking past Fred and Wasabi. "There you are! You're just in time, Hiro! This monster is about to chow down on a massive monster sandwich like Wasabi with the munches!" said Fred.
"Seriously? I don't get that hungry! Come join us, Hiro." His two male friends smiled at him. "Guys, I—"
"Hiro cannot join you right now. He has to tell Gogo how he feels," Baymax interrupted.
"...what?" Wasabi questioned, wide eyed.
"Baymax! Oh, whatever! I'll explain later!" Hiro ran and pulled Baymax along behind him as fast as the not-really-built-for-exertion robot could out the door, leaving Fred and Wasabi shocked.
"Did Baymax say what I thought he said?"
"Yes he did, Fred, yes he did."
Flying as fast as they could, Hiro and Baymax head towards Gogo's house.
"Go faster, Baymax!"
"My boosters have reached maximum speed."
"Well, how long until we're there?"
"Approximately ten seconds," said the robot.
"Good! Just stop here," said Hiro. They stopped just up the road from Gogo's house. "Okay, I'll be back soon." Hiro jumped off of Baymax and started walking.
"What do I do?" asked the robot.
"Just stay here!" said Hiro hurriedly.
After a short walk, Hiro made it to Gogo's house. "Okay... here I go!" He walked up towards the door.
He stopped. No, he couldn't do this, he was so nervous, the world was going to explode…. And then he started arguing with himself. Aloud.
"Hiro, just knock.
"No. No knocking. Gogo must never know what I feel about her.
"Yes, she must know, otherwise Wasp will steal her from you forever!
"But I feel kind of sick… like I just ate a tornado. Or a tsunami.
"Just do it!
"No!
"Yes!
"No!
"Yes!
"N—dang it!" Hiro had just noticed something through a window. "What..." In the living room were Gogo and Wasp. "He's already here?" Hiro said weakly. A mixture of feelings began building up inside of him. "I was too late." He didn't bother knocking and just walked away with his head down.
"Baymax, I was..." Baymax was nowhere to be seen. "Baymax?!"
"Your stupid robot stood no chance." A mysterious group of people threw pieces of Baymax's armour and his external balloon material at Hiro's feet.
"Y-you destroyed him?!" Hiro knelt down beside the pieces.
"Well, sort of." They held up the internal machine of Baymax.
"Baymax!"
"H-H-Hiro" Baymax was short circuiting.
"We'll be taking this with us."
"You've just made a huge mistake." Hiro made a fist and stood up looking at the group with anger.
"What are you gonna do? Huh? Without your bot, you're worthless!"
"Just try me." Hiro stood in a battle stance.
"If you insist." The one in front stood forward and threw a punch. Hiro narrowly avoided it and ran at the guy, throwing a punch of his own, hitting him.
"Did you feel that?"
"Nope."
"Me neither." The guy seemed to be talking to himself. He caught Hiro and threw him at the nearby fence. "Come on, Hiro! Get up."
Hiro, now out of breath, barely made it to his feet.
"Good, now get back down." The guy punched the top of Hiro's head, knocking him to the ground. "Nice armour! Without it, that clearly would've done some major damage."
"...I'm... Not done… yet." Hiro stood again.
"You are very stubborn it seems. We were warned that you and your pathetic friends wouldn't give up easily."
"My friends?"
"Yeah, I'm shocked you have friends as well." The guy threw another punch to Hiro's stomach, making him hunch over and start coughing. "You done yet?"
"Not even... close."
"All right." he grabbed Hiro and slammed him into the ground, then stamped on him. "You done now?" The man lifted his foot off of Hiro.
"No..."
"Dude, just stop already, we weren't even meant to fight them yet," one of the guys in the group said to the leader.
"I know, I just wanted to play with him for a bit."
"Why don't you just... finish me already?" Hiro coughed.
"Hmm, I would but not yet!" The group then took off in their own way.
"You'll have another chance someday, Hiro Hamada," the last words of the leader rang out across the area before they all vanished.
"No... Baymax!" Hiro shouted before coughing some more and reaching for his phone, dialling Aunt Cass's number. "H-Hello?" Hiro said weakly.
"Hiro? What happened? Did you and Gogo talk? Hiro? Hiro?"
But Hiro had already lost consciousness.
