"And then the Peace Keeper grabbed the closest building and, using it like a base ball bat, smashed it into me!" Astro said, acting out the Peace Keeper whacking an invisible bat. The other kids gasped. "I smashed into two buildings and landed on the road. I looked up as the Peace Keeper walked towards me, heavy feet pounding on the ground like thunder, smashing anything in its path. Just when it was about to destroy me with its foot-" Astro looked at Cora and smiled. He sat down. "A hand grabbed me and pulled me into a car." The kids' eyes widened.

"Who was it?" Grace asked.

"Was it your dad?" another girl with razor short black hair with some purple streaks called Janett said.

"No. it was Cora." The kids looked at Cora and cheered. Sluch frowned.

"Hey!"

"Oh! Also Zane, Sluch and Widget." Astro added. Cora laughed.

"And Trashcan drove!" Zane yelled.

"Trashcan! Drive?" A boy with long red hair called Annex asked.

"Actually quite good at it." Cora smiled. Astro looked around.

"Hey! Where is Trashcan, anyway?" Astro asked. Everyone shrugged.

"RUFF! RUFF!" Trashcan leaped into the room and jumped on Astro. He laughed and pulled him off.

"Go on with the story!" urged Sluch.

"So we drove through Metro City with the Peace Keeper hot on our trail when he ran into the Metro City power supply. The city started to go down, down, down…" Astro lowered his hands; making out it was the city. "And then-"

"Kids! What's going on?" the familiar voice of Hamegg came from the hall. Everyone gasped and looked over to him, walking into the room. Hamegg's eyes widened as he saw Astro. He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. He suddenly cleared his throat and looked at the others. "Okay, you all have stayed up late enough! Off to bed!" they groaned and left the room, waving to Astro as they went.

"See ya Astro." Mumbled Janett.

"Come again!" whispered another girl with her brown hair in a tight tall ponytail, Zinnia.

"RUFF!" Trashcan licked his hand and followed the others. Cora was the last one out, and gave Astro a sweet smile as she past. Soon, only Hamegg and Astro were left in the room. Astro looked at Hamegg. "I'm sorry for intruding, Hamegg." He said politely. He turned to the back door. "I'll leave now-"

"Wait, Astro." Hamegg put his hand on Astro's shoulder. "I want to apologize for that day when I was so horrid to you." Astro turned his head to the side were he spotted on top of a wardrobe the picture of him and his friends and Hamegg in front of Zog when they cleaned him. "I had never seen a robot like you ever before. You're so much like a human, yet I thought it was just programming."

"Hamegg, I didn't tell you all that I was a robot. I could see why you felt cautious."

"Yet an apology is needed." Astro turned to him.

"Then thank you for your apology." Hamegg reached his hand out. Astro smiled and went to shake it. Suddenly the door flew open and Tenma burst into the room. "Toby!" he ran up to Astro. Astro's eyes widened.

"D-dad! I-I-I…" Tenma stood in the middle of Hamegg and Astro. Hamegg narrowed his eyes.

"Stay away from my son, Hamegg!"

"I was doing nothing wrong, Tenma!" Hamegg shot back.

"Sure! Then you will please hand over my electro-shocker that you harmlessly used on Toby!"

"I gave it back already. Now stop snooping into my live!" Astro looked with raised eyebrows at them both.

"Dad-"

"How do I know you haven't stolen anything else of mine, or any other great scientists, unlike you!" they both surge forward as a threat.

"DAD!" Astro ran to the center of the fight and held both of them back. Tenma backed off and grabbed Astro's arm. "Were leaving, Toby. NOW." he charged out the room with Astro being pulled behind. Through a dusty window he saw Cora, Zane, Sluch and Widget looking at him with sad faces. Tenma and he hopped into their limo and pulled up into the sky. Astro glumly looked out the window to Zog, still asleep. Soon he was just a small speck. "I'm very disappointed in you."

"I know." Astro glumly replied.

"You don't sneak out like that! I get worried!"

"Why?" Tenma looked at the back seat to Astro.

"I don't want to loose you again." He turned back to the drivers' seat. They were reaching Metro City.

"Hmmm, apparently that's what you thought when you created me, but I guess things don't always work out, huh?"

"TOBY!"

"Okay! I'm sorry I snuck out! Happy?"

"Why would you go to Hamegg?"

"I wasn't going to Hamegg! Just his place to see Cora-" Tenma winced his head back. Astro cleared his throat. "And, you know, Zane and Sluch and Widget."

"I don't want you near him AT ALL."

"He wasn't doing anything bad, dad. In fact, he was apologizing." Astro told Tenma.

"I don't care if he's giving you a million bucks, Toby. He is a dangerous man and I don't want you near him." Astro made a "Humph" sound.

"My name, is Astro." Nothing else was said the rest of the trip.
