SRMTHFG doesn't belong to me.

Sprx: What kind of One-Shot is this?

Another father and son one for Chiro and Antauri.

Otto: Again? (pouts)

Well, i saw this really great video on YouTube so i wanted to do that.

Antauri: You're not making me blind again, are you?

Nah, one time is enough.

Chiro: Can't wait to read it.

(smiles) Well, as I already said, SRMTHFG doesn't belong to me. Neither does the song 'Father and Son'.

Antauri: Read and Review.

Chiro: Please.


Antauri sat on the robot's shoulder and gazed down at the street below. Down there, Chiro stood and tried to talk to people. Most of them ignored him. He saw how the teen sighed and slumped against the foot of the robot. Antauri shook his head. It had been a month since the young teen had joined the team. The teen was still without any friends in the city and now that he had cybernetic monkeys as friends, it didn't turn out much better. Shaking his head once more, the black monkey thought; Take it easy Chiro. There is still much time left in your life. And just like that, a song came to mind. Without even realising it, Antauri softly started to sing.

It's not time to make a change,

Just relax, take it easy.

You're still young, that's your fault,

There's so much you have to know.

Find a girl, settle down,

If you want you can marry.

Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

The black monkey smiled when he saw how Chiro stood up and looked around. Somehow he knew that the teen could hear him singing. It was the connection between them, the connection Antauri had felt since the first day. He smiled and while he continued to the song, though he didn't even know how he knew it, memories played in his mind, about his time at the Veron Mystics.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,

To be calm when you've found something going on.

But take your time, think a lot,

Why, think of everything you've got.

For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Chiro looked around confused. Where did that song come from and why did he feel like he knew it? Then he looked up and gasped. Antauri, the black monkey and his second in command, sat atop the robot's shoulder, his lips moving unison with the words of the son. Antauri is singing that?, wondered the teen, then, without really doing it, he continued the song, still staring up to the black monkey.

How can I try to explain, cause when I do it turns away again.

It's always been the same, same old story.

From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.

Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.

I know I have to go.

Antauri gasped and looked down once more, to lock eyes with Chiro. He clearly heard the boy's voice in his head. Then he smiled. Maybe the teen started to understand, and maybe Antauri's sub-consciousness allowed him to know the next words. Still smiling, he continued when Chiro fell silent again.

It's not time to make a change,

Just sit down, take it slowly.

You're still young, that's your fault,

There's so much you have to go through.

Find a girl, settle down,

if you want, you can marry.

Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

Once again Chiro felt the urge to continue from the part where Antauri had fallen silent. There was something, something that connected him with the black monkey up there. With a smile he continued and saw how Antauri suddenly moved forward and jumped down to him.

All the times that I cried,

keeping all the things I knew inside,

It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.

If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know not me.

Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.

I know I have to go.

Antauri smiled at the teen when he fell silent and both felt like the melody they'd used slowly faded away. Then Antauri placed a hand on the teens shoulder. He smiled at Chiro and said: "Give it time young one. Soon everything will turn out right. The best things come to those who can be patient."


Gibson: Okay, why do Antauri and Chiro know that song?

Antauri: I'm curious to that as well.

Well, Chiro knows it becuase of his connection to Antauri.

Chiro: (smiles)

And you know it becuase the Alchemist sang it to you.

Nova: Then why didn't you write it so?

Hello? Chiro with you guys for one month. You don't even know anything about the Alchemist in that time.

Nova: Oh, yes.

Sprx: When get I a roll in a One-Shot again.

Otto: And me?

When I feel like it or Someone asks me for one.

Sprx: Fine!

Otto: (pouts) I don't wanna wait so long.
