Astro yawned, stretching as he slowly got out of bed. He grabbed his blanket and wrapped it around himself, and fixed up his hat. He opened his door, already smelling breakfast. “Astro! There you are!” Shelly called. Astro smiled and walked over, chuckling. “How long did i sleep in for? You’re acting like i went missing!” He laughed, Shelly hugging him. “Astro! Your up!” Cosmo called, mixing something and covered in flower- probably from sprout spilling something. “We made your normal breakfast preferences. Star shaped toast and juice.” Cosmo gestured his head to a plate, and Astro used his stars to lift it over. “Thanks cos!” Astro called, walking over to a table and sitting next to Shelly. Dandy looked over from his shop, his eyes twitching as Astro waved, taking a bite from his star shaped toast. Turning his attention back to Shelly, Astro smiled. “Did i miss anything with my sleep in?” Shelly shook her head, taking a sip of her coffee. “Nope. Only sprout throwing flower all over the kitchen because he slipped on a milk spill he made.. yesterday i think.” Astro barked out a laugh, and Sprout scoffed playfully from the kitchen. “Says you Shelly! You spilled sand all over your room yesterday because you accidentally fell on a rock!” Sprout looked proud of himself. Shelly winked, calling back, “at least i clean my mess’ up!” Sprout huffed, turning around again as pebble jumped onto astros lap, clearly bored. “Woah there pebble!” Astro laughed, petting pebble as he finished his toast. Cosmo and Sprout were having their normal little argue session over who made lunch and who made dinner. Dandy was mumbling about his tapes and something else, pebble, Astro and Shelly were all sitting at a table, laughing and playing. {}timeskip!{} Dandy looked over at Astro and Shelly, petting pebble. “Astro is MINE, Shelly. I’ll get him either way.” He sneered, counting his tapes. “Bworf! Bark grr!” Pebble exclaimed, his tail wagging. Dandy threw a treat and pebble caught it, before nodding. “Good idea pebble. \Great\ idea indeed.” Dandy laughed, cackling. He watched Astro leave Shelly alone outside her room. Dandy walked over, patting Shelly on the back “Hey, Shelly. Why do you always hang out with Astro nowadays?” Dandy asked innocently, keeping back a keen smirk as Shelly began to talk. “Well, ever since vee got replaced with vee 2.0, i feel like i dont have the same bond. Me and Astro just.. get along. Sort of like you and pebble!” Dandy nodded, looking back at Vee 2.0 boasting about her microphone. “I get what you mean. Vee was terrible- but this one is worse.” Dandy muttered, gripping Shelly’ shoulder with intense force. “Astro is mine, Shelly. /mine/. Don’t try to win his heart. Or i promise.. it wont be fun for you.” Dandy released Shelly and smiled, walking off. {}last timeskip i promise{} Shelly and Astro lay on the couch, watching tv. Dandy snarled. “Ive had enough of their bonding.” He grabbed a spare ichor capsule- ten of them- and cracked them, letting the ichor seep into his veins and skin, letting it morph him into something dangerous. “Shellyyyy. What did i tell you about being with ASTRO?” Twisted dandy snarle as Shelly jumped up, frozen. Astro didnt waste a moment, grabbing Shelly with his stars and bolting toward the kitchen. “SPROUT! COSMO! Vee 2.0.” Astro hesitated at saying Vee 2.0. “Dandy’s gone insane. He’s gone insane. He is coming to k!|| us all.” Cosmo and sprout nodded, grabbing a bunch of rather sharp kitchen kn!v3s, handing one to everyone. “BWOOORRRRFFF!” Pebble screamed, pulling on astros blanket. (What is pebble trying to sa- OH) “Everyone! We need to hide ASAP! Dandy is coming!” Cosmo and Sprout shoved everyone into a tiny drawer, but Vee 2.0 forced herself out, ready to fight. Pebble, Astro, and Shelly remained silent and still. Twisted dandy slunk around the corner, laughing. “Where arrreee youuu?” Astro held his breath, Vee 2.0 standing up. “This ends now, you big tape hoarder!” She snarled, throwing a kn!f3 at dandys purple petal. She opened her compartment to get something else- but Dandy had other plans. He ran over, claws opening Vee 2.0’s stomach, ichor and wires pooling out onto the floor. Pebble almost whimpered, but Shelly co veered his mouth just in time. Sprout slowly revealed himself. “Dandy? This isn’t you… stop this!” Dandy laughed. “Spare me your sob story. Nothing stops the ichor.” Dandy lunged at sprout, but he dodged, st!ng another kn!f3 into dandys neck- but dandy immediately slashed at Sprout- ending him. Cosmo cried out, anger filling his veins as he jumped out to Sprouts limp body, tears streming down his face. “SPROut! SPROUT BUDDY NO! DONT LEAVE ME LIKE THIS! NO NO NO NO YOU MONSTER!” Cosmo shrieked, grabbing his twisted k!||!ng g*n, sh00ting dandy as dandy took one final blow on cosmo, both cosmo and dandy’s bodies going limp. Astro pebble and Shelly slowly walked out, shocked wordless. “What happens to gardenview now? A New Generation..?”
