Astro tried to open the door but it was locked. Astro banged against the door, getting scared and worried "G-gourdy open up P-PLEASE!" Shelly ran over to astro and tried to unlock the door but to no use. Astro took off his blanket revealing his four arms and smashes open the door. He looks around to see gourdy covered in bruises and scars, a piece of glass covered in ichor next to him. Astro froze "G-gourdy...?" Gourdy was crying and tried to back away. Astro grabbed his blanket off the floor and put it around Gourdys shoulders "Gourdy....Why did you do this to yourself..?" Astro rubs his back while Gourdys cries muffle into the blanket. "Sniff.....I-I lost toodles....Sniff...she was my only friend left...sniff.......I cant live without her...its all my fault..." Gourdy sobs in despair. Shelly,who watched the scene unwravel, grabs her first aid kit and starts patching the wounds. Astro continues to talk to gourdy "Oh Gourdy...you don't need to do that to yourself..it's not your fault...your a child..." Astro was also on the verge of tears from the horrific scene. "Please...if youre comfortable...can you tell me what happened with toodles?" Gourdy sniffles "...We were playing hide n seek...I was hiding and....and....I heard her scream and...when I called out for her she didn't answer....I looked all around the Halloween floor for her...I-i should've been more careful.." Astro hugs Gourdy "shh....its okay...its not your fault....you're not to blame..." Shelly finished patching up gourdys leg and patted gourdy on the back "...Youre a strong kid...gourdy" she said smiling "I could have never done the things you are doing.." Gourdy looks up at Shelly "R-really...?" Shelly nods "Of course! I would never lie..." Astro picks up gourdy "..Come on..lets go to the elevator...you can join our group..." Gourdys smiles softly "Thank you Mr. Novalite....Thank you Mrs.....Uhhh" Shelly giggles "Just call me Shelly..." Gourdy laughs a bit "Okay..." Astro blinks hearing someone behind him. He turns to see the gourdy form from his dream "Thank you" said the black and white gourdy. Astro nods and looks away.
