Boboiboy Short Stories and One-Shots

Stars

What are stars? Why do they only shine at night?

In the scientific term, stars are bright balls of gas. Mostly made up of hydrogen. Our Sun is the nearest star to Earth, and the source of light and heat for us humans.

But is there another term for stars?

Well, from The Lion King, stars are the great kings of the past. But you could also say it is the souls of your dead relatives. Watching over you while you sleep. Always there to guide you when needed.

Science is Boboiboy's favorite subject at school.

But being perfectly honest, at the moment, Boboiboy doesn't really believe that term. Especially since the death of Tok Aba a few months ago.

The old man died of old age, a natural and peaceful cause of death. Boboiboy was practically devastated.

He's taken a bit more time off TAPOPS when there isn't any mission to take care of the shop. Which just brought many painful and heartbreaking memories of Tok Aba.

Ochobot did come with him most of the time. But other times, he was needed to report the mission to Komander and Laksamana.

Leaving Boboiboy to take care of the shop half the time... alone.

At first, he didn't mind, he was used to doing this lots of times after school if Adu Du isn't trying to interrupt their day.

But then it grew worst. Many people, just like Boboiboy, was saddened by his death. But it seemed that all of them have quickly moved on and the shop has become extremely busy. And extremely tiring for the young Elemental Superhero.

And sadly, Boboiboy hasn't gotten a single call, message, nor letter from his parents. Even from his grandparents from his mother's side.

The burdens lay heavily on his shoulder, but he pushed through, often times using his elemental split to help him.

It was going smoothly, and Boboiboy adapted it to his daily routine... everything seems not that worrying... well... not really...

Boboiboy started failing class big time, lots of near failing missions of rescuing Powerspheras because of Boboiboy's late reactions in dodging and attacking. Which lead him, at the end of the day, to get scolded by both his teachers and Laksamana.

He didn't want to ask his friends for help as he thinks that they're already carrying too much. Besides, he can handle it. It's just a phase.

Yes, he needs to be independent. He can handle this. This is almost nothing compared to what he faced before. Its not like he is facing the most difficult villian in the universe. And even so, he defeated the *current* villian either way. So why is he complaining?

There's no need to bother other people for some help. Much less his friends. They're probably already stressed enough with school and the upcoming missions. Especially Yaya, Ying and Fang.

Gopal? He's probably helping his dad right now, or spending time with him. Who knows what he's up to. But Boboiboy doesn't have the heart to interrupt his best friend just for some help

It's just doing some simple tasks that he needs to maintain for the entire day, that's all. It's not too bad. He'll be fine. It's nothing he can't do it, he can handle it.
