Yiippee!! NUM TWO! First one: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1310232452 -------------CHAPTER TWO | The Storm Comes--------------- You were peacefully sleeping in your dream realm, a little smile on your face, then you suddenly hear a loud bang, startling you and making you wake up in the real world. "...?!" You see a shadowy figure and you slightly get startled, then you see the lights dimly turn on. 'Who turned on the lights..?' You thought, looking at the figure, then you see that it was just Dandy. What is he doing here? What could he need? Maybe he just needs comfort.. ".. O-Oh s-sorry Astro.. I-I didn't mean to w-wake you up.." Dandy says, looking down a bit. His petals seemed wilted a bit but slightly fluffy, also pale. "N-No it's.. Fine.. Did you need something..?" You say, looking at Dandy with a slightly tired gaze, Star eye flickering slightly. "O-Oh.. W-Well..." Dandy rubs his arm a bit, looking to the side. "I-.. Ykw... N-Never mind..." "H-Hey.. It's alright.. Did you want to talk..?" "... I-.. I did..." Dandy looks at you and he slowly walks to you, his petals slightly wilted, looking at you. "S-Sorry for.. Knocking your thing down...." "I-It's fine.. What did you want to talk about..?" You look at Dandy, worried a bit, Star eye glowing a bit. ".... Do you.. Do you think that.. Things will... Go back to normal soon..?" Dandy sniffles a bit, looking at you, rubbing his arm a bit still. Feeling like he's wasting your time. ".. I promise it will... Just... Keep believing and.. Gardenview will come back to life.." You say, turning to him and holding his hands with your bottom ones, giving him a reassuring smile. "T-Thanks Astro... I'm happy I still have you by my side.." "Your welcome Dandy.." You smile at Dandy, Star eye flickering a bit. "Can.. I tell you another thing?" Dandy looks at you with serious eyes slightly. "O-Ofc..!" "... Y-You know my.. Toon Handler...? Devan..? D-Devan Reed?" "Y-Yes..? What about him...?" Dandy looks away, his face darkening slightly, then he looks at you. "He... He wasn't a.. Good one... He used to... Experiment on me s-secretly... H-He used... S-Syringes on me... I-It hurt.." "... O-Oh Dandy.... I-I'm so s-sorry that happened..." You hug Dandy tightly, feeling even more horrible for him. How could a human- a Toon Handler do this to their Toon that their handling? Who could do such a horrible thing? Delilah didn't even know about this... I mean.. She prob wouldn't do anything about it. "I'm here Dandy... Don't worry... I'm here.. Always..." You try to cheer him up, feeling bad and guilty, hugging him softly. "Thanks A-Astro... A-At least your h-here to... L-Listen..." He sniffles slightly, looking at you with a soft gaze. You were always happy to help Dandy with something that he needed help with. It never bothered you. Not once. "Anything else that you need to let out..?" "... N-No.. N-Not really.. I-I guess I just... Need comfort.." You look at Dandy with a soft gaze, Star eye flickering a bit, hugging him softly* ".. Comfort..? Alright... Well... You can stay with me until you feel better.." "Thanks Astro.. Your the best..." "No need to thank me.. I'm glad to help a friend in need.." You smile warmly at Dandy, not minding him staying with you. Sometimes you felt like Toons would just come and go for dreams and.. Not really ask you.. If your ok.. But.. Thankfully Dandy was always there for you. Always tried to come and ask you if your ok. You're glad that he does since, he's one of the Toons who... Look up to you. It's... Nice.. Dandy always had a soft spot for you and... Mainly you.. You always thought... Did he like you... Like.. A crush way? You always wondered and thought. He always talked to you and his voice was always soft and kind.. Maybe he just don't wanna lose you.. I mean.. You can't blame him.. Your the only Toon that he could fully trust you with secrets and stuff.. Your glad he trusts you, you really are.. Shelly and Dandy.. Well.. Other Toons as well... But.. They trust you... But.. A lot of Toons don't trust Dandy... Just.. Mainly only you... "So... Do you want to talk...?" Dandy looks at you when you asked, blinking slowly slightly. "W-Well.... I guess we can talk about... How-" Dandy is suddenly cut off hearing a sound. You both see a figure, and you both blink, looking at the figure. "Astro?" You hear Shelly's voice call out from the dark and you smile slightly. "Hey Shelly..!" "Oh h-hey Shells." Shelly looks at you both. "Oh! Hi Dandy!" She smiles and turns on the light, and you both see a smile on her face, wagging her tail, looking at you both. "So what are you doing here, Dandy?" "Oh.. Just need comfort.. Y'know..." Shelly smiles softly at u. "Ahhh... I see! Can I join?" "Sure..! I wouldn't mind at all..." You smile at Shelly, looking at her with a soft gaze then she sits by Dandy, wagging her tail slowly, looking at Dandy. "So what were y'all talking about?" "Oh just uh... How the Toons are doing Ig..."
Shelly looks at you then back at Dandy, smiling softly. "Ahhh I see!! Nice! Hey Dandy.. Can I ask you something?" Dandy looks at Shelly, and he smiles softly, eyes lighting up for a second. "Yes?" "Are you doing ok? I know it's been hard for the Toons and you.. But... Are you doing ok?" Dandy looks at Shelly with a soft gaze and he hugs her, sniffling slightly* "... I-I'm not... Sure.. But... Thank you for.. Asking me.. I'm glad you care.. And ofc you too Astro.." He looks at you, smiling at you with a warm, soft, caring gaze, and his eyes sparkle softly. "H-Heh..." You look away slightly, smiling softly. Dandy then looks back at Shelly, letting her go, happy. "Thanks again for.. Asking Shells.. Your nice.. Glad your here.. And.. I'm sorry that your forgotten.. I'll try to put your plushies in everytoons room ok?" Shelly's eyes light up and she wags her tail, smiling wide, eyes sparkling. "Really??! F-For me!? THANK YOU SO MUCH DANDY!! YOUR THE BEST!!" Shelly hugs Dandy tightly, wagging her tail fast, smiling wide still and Dandy hugs her back, smiling softly. "Np Shelly.. Anything to help you feel better..."
