Heheheh!! Hope this is good y'all!! -----------Chapter One | The Beginning After The End------- It had been years since Gardenview shut down.. Toons were losing hope, Toons starting to hate and blame Dandy for everything, Toons going crazy... You didn't know what to do.. You had to keep every secret that Dandy told you.. You didn't have to but.. It was the best idea to. It wasn't Dandy's fault... Toons blame him for what 'he' did but.. He never started this.. He never even wanted this to happen.. It was all 'their' fault. This would have never happened if 'they' didn't make him. Why? Why did this have to happen? You always question yourself. You were always trapped in the middle of your own guilt. You just hid that fateful day not wanting to get harmed nor hurt. You could've helped the Toons in need but.. You didn't. Leading to your own guilt. All you can do now is hope and give Toons dreams. "Astro? Are you ok?" Shelly asked, seeing you zoned out. This was.. Quite often that you did this. No Toon really knew why.. Only, well.. Dandy. "H-Huh..?" You finally snap out of your deep thoughts, looking up at Shelly, seeing her confused and worried face. "W-What did you s-say...?" ".. Are you ok? You've been zoning out for.. A while now.. You good?" Shelly looks at you with a sad but still very worried expression on her face. You always thanked her for checking on you. You tried to make her not feel left out or forgotten. Mainly when you was there. She was always there for you and you are always there for her. "Thanks shells... I'm.. Fine..." You say, looking down for a second before looking back up at Shelly. "Your sure?.. You have been zoning out ever since Gardenview shut down." "I-I know... It's just... Been hard.. Mainly for Dandy.. Toons been mad and angry at him for.. Something he didn't do..!" You sniffle slightly, looking at the side for a bit, Star eye flickering a bit, matching the flickering overhead lights above. "It's just.. I don't get it..! They blame him for Gardenview shutting down when it was really 'their' fault..!" Shelly blinks, her tail twitching slightly and she looks at you slightly confused. "They? Like the Toons?" "N-No..." You look back at Shelly, feeling bad for Dandy. "Then who?" "N-No one...." You sigh softly, looking at her with a soft gaze, feeling slight guilt. "I just.. I don't know why they blame him for such a horrible thing.." Shelly looks at you with a worried look and she sighs, tail twitching a bit. "Maybe because.. They don't know.. Maybe no Toon has told them." "Shelly.. They can't even stand hearing his name..! Let alone trust him..! I'm the only Toon that he can fully trust... It really hurts.." Shelly's expression softens, feeling the ping of guilt and sadness, knowing how Dandy could feel. "I feel horrible for what Dandy has to deal with constantly.. I know how that feels slightly.. Toons would kind of.. Ignore me.. Even mistook me for a cinnamon roll! Mainly the kids but- y-y'know what I'm saying! But- your not alone, Astro.. I'm here and so are the others! As long as you.. Still believe in Dandy, I promise you. Things will gradually start to change. Just.. Keep believing. Like how I did!" You look at Shelly with a soft gaze, a small smile forming, nodding softly, thanking her. "Thanks, Shelly.. You really are a big help.. I'm glad we have a Toon like you.." Shelly smiles and wag her tail slowly, happy. "Me to! I'm glad I can help!!" You look around, seeing a few other Toons, you were currently at your floor just relaxing, Tisha was ofc cleaning the ground after Blot who was trying to ragebait her, (*Lol*) Yatta sharing candy with Sprout and only Sprout, Glisten and Rodger was talking to each other which was nice to see them talk, you also saw Gigi running after Toodles, you see a shiny coin in Toodles hand. Gigi might be trying to steal it or steal it back. Your not completely sure but it's fine not to really know, none of your problems anyway. A few hours passed, all the Toons went to their rooms to go to sleep, 'Wow, is it already night time..?' you thought, blinking a few times. You were alone. All you would see was the Astrology book in your lap that you very much enjoy, and the stars and other spacey stuff around you. You breath in the silence, at peace, but.. You felt something.. Off.. It felt too quiet.. Too still... Well.. It was the night so.. Who would be up at this time of the night anyways? Well- some Toon that is stressed you suppose, which is ofc Dandy. You always felt bad for him. Maybe you should check up on him soon? You always see him having a nightmare, though it's tiring, you try your best to make it go away and give him good dreams, though there is about 30 Toons, you'll have to get used to it! No other Toon can do what you can do. You decide that it's time to do your duty, and you go to a beanbag, sitting on it, then you place your book beside you, getting cozy to somewhat head to sleep. You end up falling asleep and you wake up in your dream.
Clear clouds were around you and a white background, there was Light Blue stardust floating around, you smile a bit and you walk around, looking at each cloud. Every cloud was perfectly Blue. You then walk to Dandy's. And it was black like usual. You sigh softly and you gently press it with a finger, making you go in the dream. You look around, it was cloudy. You could barely see a thing. You perk up slightly hearing faint and quiet sobs. You run towards the sound and you pause, seeing two Dandy's. Confused. This never.. Happened before... This has to be some kind of trick.. That must mean.. No.... It can't.. "D-Dandy...?" You say in a soft voice, getting both of their attention. Your Star eye flicker a bit and you tilt ur head slightly, confused still "..." You look at both of them and you slightly back away, then one of them run at you. You get startled and you jump, flapping your wings and getting out the way. "...!?" You see the 'Dandy' fall and he doesn't get back up, then you look at the other one, seeing him just look at you, sniffling and sobbing. You slowly and carefully fly down and you land by him, wings twitching slightly. You then carefully wrap your angel wings around yourself, looking at Dandy. "A-Astro..? I-I'm s-sorry...." "No need to be sorry Dandy... I know you can't control it.." You give Dandy a reassuring smile and you hug him with your four arms. He hugs you tightly sniffling softly, then the cloudiness slowly fade away, showing a garden of little flowers. You look up and see the flowers, smiling a bit. "This looks nice..." You say, looking back at Dandy. "Y-Yea... T-Thanks Astro.. Your a big help.." Dandy says, smiling slightly, wiping his tears away. "No problem Dandy.. I'm glad that I can help..." You smile at Dandy and you help him up, looking at him, then you wave at him, slowly fading back to where the clouds were. He waves back at you, smiling softly. "Bye.." You go back to where you was and you see the clouds, seeing that all of them was perfectly fine. You smile lightly and sit down, closing your eye half-way, Star eye flickering softly* "Mm.. Goodnight every Toon.. Good dreams..." You head to sleep, tired. Even things like that can make you tired. Trying to make a whole garden of flowers is tiring in it's own ways.
