"Hey Fred, you still down for helping me on stage?" Tadashi asked as he was doing his final prep before he had to go up onstage. Fred had done an excellent job of keeping Tadashi from getting any more tests done between kissing Tadashi senseless and his constant chatter about everything from the latest addition of his favorite comic books to the weather. Fred could talk about drying paint and Tadashi would have kept on listening though. For a while it did wonders in helping with his nerves, but now he was terrified that not testing his creation more was going to backfire spectacularly.

"Of course!" Fred assured, and sensing Tadashi's nervousness, he tightly wrapped his arms around him and added, "Baymax is amazing, they're gonna love him!"

"I hope you're right…" Tadashi whispered as the announcer called,

"Next presenter, Tadashi Hamada."

"Time to blow them away!" Fred exclaimed, flashing Tadashi a wide grin.


Hiro ran around the house all day, asking his parents constantly how long it would be until they would leave for Tadashi's show. At first his parents where amused by Hiro's antics, very soon though they grew annoyed and snapped at him to stop asking.

As it grew darker and darker outside though Hiro couldn't resist asking one last time in fear of missing the show entirely.

"Daddy? Shouldn't we be leaving soon?" Hiro timidly asked.

Hiro's father opened his mouth to scold Hiro before looking at the clock and gasping, "Honey! We have to go! We're going to be late!" He then threw his tablet on the table and picked Hiro up, frantically running around the house to get what they needed.

"What do you mean late?" Mom asked, poking her head out of her office.

"We'll miss Tadashi if we don't leave now!" Dad snapped, "Now let's go!" Hiro's mothers eyes widened in horror before she ran out of the office, grabbing her jacket and purse before running out the front door, followed closely by his father. Hiro was frantically strapped in and they were off, driving much faster than Hiro was used to. Dad was driving roughly, making Hiro nervous. He tried to stay calm by thinking of being at his brother's show soon.

"You need to slow down!" Mom snapped, "We're going way to fast!" As they drove through a light just as it turned red she added, "You just ran that light!"

"I did not!" Dad snapped. "I was past the line before it turned red!" Instead of answering, mom let out a terrified scream.


As Tadashi stepped onto stage, he quickly scanned the crowd trying to spot his friends and family. He almost instantly spotted his friends, but his family was nowhere to be found. Fred, noticing Tadashi's concern, placed a comforting hand on Tadashi's shoulder and whispered,

"I'm sure they're just running a little late." Tadashi forced himself to smile at Fred as they got into position with Baymax in his charger between them. Tadashi took a deep breath to calm his nerves and lifted the microphone saying,

"Hello everyone, my name is Tadashi Hamada and I would like to show you something that will revolutionize the medical industry! Baymax!" Tadashi gestured over to Fred who excitedly lifted up his shirt and was about to put a piece of duct tape on himself when Tadashi hissed, "Fred, you don't really have to hurt yourself!"

"If I'm gonna to do this, I'm gonna do this right!" Fred declared, placing the duct tape on his chest and ripping it off shouting, "ow!" Tadashi turned his attention back to the audience, forcing himself to keep a calm smile on his face as Baymax inflated saying,

"Hello I am Baymax, your personal Healthcare companion. I was alerted to the need for medical attention when you said 'ow' on a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?" And displayed a pain chart on his chest. Tadashi wanted to run around the stage doing victory laps when Baymax inflated and started working properly, but he refrained himself. He needed to focus on impressing Professor Callaghan, and running around the stage would not impress anyone.

"Baymax is designed to activate at any sound of distress and is programmed with over ten thousand medical procedures." Tadashi continued.

"I will now scan you." Baymax said when Fred did not answer his question. "Scan complete, you have an epidermal abrasion on your chest."

"He can also lift up to a thousand pounds," Tadashi continued as Baymax scooped Fred up to care for him.

"You have been a good boy," Baymax told Fred as he set the mascot down. "Have a lollypop."

"Yes! I love candy!" Fred exclaimed, taking the lollypop from Baymax.

"I cannot deactivate until you say you are satisfied with your care." Baymax continued.

"I am satisfied with my care!" Fred happily exclaimed. Baymax then stepped back into his charging station and deactivated.

"And that is Baymax, your personal healthcare companion!" Tadashi shouted as the crowd cheered. Tadashi looked over at Professor Callaghan who had an approving smile on his face. Shaking with excitement, Tadashi ran off the stage and was greeted by Fred.

"They loved you!" Fred exclaimed. Unable to contain himself, Tadashi wrapped his arms around Fred's waist and pulled him in for a passionate kiss. Fred melted in Tadashi's embrace and placed a hand behind Tadashi's neck, deepening the kiss and felt Fred start to play with his hair. After a minute they broke apart for air and Fred exclaimed,

"They loved you!"

"They really did!" Tadashi agreed trying to catch his breath.

"It's a shame your family missed it…" Fred mumbled causing Tadashi to frown.

"It's not unlike my parents to miss these things…" Tadashi mumbled. "But Hiro will be devastated…"

"Tadashi!" Honey Lemon squealed as she ran up to the pair, excitedly throwing her arms around Tadashi. "You where amazing!"

"Everyone was really impressed," Wasabi added.

"Good job," Gogo added. Tadashi tried to smile at his friends, but he was too worried about his family to put on a very convincing smile.

"Tadashi? Are you okay?" Honey asked, noticing Tadashi's concern. A part of Tadashi wanted to just shrug off their concern and focus on enjoying the evening, but another just couldn't shake the feeling that something bad happened. Tadashi knew he was overreacting, but when it came to Hiro, Tadashi could never seem to stop worrying about him.

"My family was supposed to be here tonight…" Tadashi finally admitted, "I'm just a little concerned that they didn't show up…"

"Don't your parents miss these things all the time?" Gogo asked before blowing another bubble.

"Yes they do," Tadashi groaned. "But Hiro has been going on about this for weeks. I think he was more excited than I was…every morning he'd ask how long until the show. I just can't imagine my parents forgetting to come with him reminding them every few minutes."

"They might have gotten going late and probably are still trying to park," Gogo said. "Stop worrying and woman up." Tadashi was about to respond when he felt his phone vibrating in his pocked. Tadashi pulled it out and looked at the number, frowning when it was a number he did not recognize. Tadashi answered however saying,

"Hello?"

"Is this Tadashi Hamada?" a male voice asked.

"Um yes… who is this?" Tadashi slowly asked.

"I'm officer Jarrus, are you Bob and Maria Hamada's son?"

"Yes I am… did something happen to them?" Tadashi asked, heart pounding madly in his chest. Officer Jarrus hesitated for a moment before saying,

"There's been an accident; you need to come to San Fransokyo Hospital immediately."
