They the Wubbox : Rewritten

[Chapter 3]

Air dashed around the room energetically, spinning in circles or squares, and being hyperactive. Since he had been woke, he had always been happy, cheery, and energetic. He was the first one to have that personality. Sometimes it was good, but sometimes it wasn't. But, he was the spark that Galvana needed to start caring for Air more than Rare or Wubbox; because he "had a personality, while the other two didn't." Not only wad that wrong—they did have personalities—thats something you don't say to your kids directly.
Air snuck beside Wubbox as he was trying to work, watching what he was doing. He was writing random symbols in sentences that didn't make sense, and an occasional doodle next to it.
"Wubbox, what does that mean?"

"None of your business!" He took Air by the side of his head, and pushed him away. Air was able to stop himself from falling, but kept looking at him.
"Wubbox, don't be a jerk to him!" Rare yelled to him.

"Then tell him to stay away from me! I can't have any peace when he's near me."

"Air, try and leave him alone."

Air let out a long, dramatic sigh. "Fiiiine.."
Air then took a seat on the floor, looking at the fan above as it spun around.
"When are we leaving?" Air asked.

"Soon enough. Just a little longer."

"Uggghh. Im boooored though!! What else is there for us to have not done? Why can't we just roam Starhenge? Its not like we're going to get lost. Even if we do, other celestials are going to find us quickly."

"It's mom's rules. You know what happens if we don't listen."
Air made more exaderated angry sounds. Why couldn't they just have fun for once?
"I got it!" Air then shot up with newfound energy, his tail starting to wag at the end. "I'm going to fly!!"

"Air, no! We're in such a small area, you'd hit the wall before you get one flap in."

"But, i mean, it wouldn't hurt to try!"

"SHUT UP FOR ONCE! BLOODY HELL!" Wubbox then yelled out. He scraped the pencil along the table with anger, letting out a loud screech.
As if on command, they heard the door lock click. That meant they were free to come out back to the office.
Air quickly got to his feet and dashed to the door, running out to slide down the hall quickly. Rare did the same, making it like a race to see who got to the office first.
But unfortunately, Air collapsed halfway from exhaustion, laying down slowly onto the cold concrete. Rare laughed triumphantly down the hall at his victory.
He took quick breaths as his wings laid limp at his sides. He was sprawled out like a cat—like what Attmoz would do when he was tired.
His head lifted when he heard steps of a certain other metallic monster. He curled up, rolling to his side to get back up to his feet.
"Hey Wubbox!" He smiled, waiting to walk with him.
Wubbox did not turn to look at him, holding his notebook close to him with his offhand. Air walked by him for a second to see if he'd respond.
"Heeellllllloooooooooo!" He waved to get his attention. Wubbox only looked angrier at his nagging as they turned the corner.
As Air stepped closer and tried to get his attention by holding his arm, Wubbox quickly snapped back, hittng him with his arm reflexively. Air fell down to the ground, a shattering sound rang out in the hallway, and Wubbox covered his head from the sudden, loud sound.
He started quickly walking away to run from what he had done as Air began to curl up and cry from the pain of something breaking. He quickly slipped into the office, behind a cabinet where his mother wouldn't see him.
After a few moments, Air came stumbling into the office, covering his eye with one hand—which bled a red substance.
"Air! Oh my god, what happened?!" Galvana asked as he quickly rushed over to her. Wubbox held his head as he braced for being yelled at.
"I-I w-was running in the-the hall, an-and i-i hit a wall and fell!" Air cried out, his voice becoming shaky.
Wubbox opened his eyes back up in a bit of confusion.
"Oh, come here! Let me fix you up!" She scooped him off the ground into her arms, and over to her work table.
Wubbox listened to what they were doing for a moment before standing up to look over the counter. As he looked around, he saw Rare giving him a grim, and evil glare. He knew exactly what happened, but he wouldn't say anything.
Thank god he had a brother who would save his hide.
He sat back down the floor as he tried to think of what happened. Why was Air trying to not get him in trouble? Why not Rare? Did mom know, but wasn't going to yell at him in front of Air? Why was he not being yelled at??
"Wubbox, i need you to get your father." He heard Galvana speak.

He quickly shot up to look at her, "Yes ma'am!" He moved quickly to the door. Stepping just outside, he began to feel heavy and sick. He held onto the wall as he walked to the closest doors ahead down the hall. His vision blurred at the edges, and it became harder to think clearly. He took in more struggled breaths, looking out the clear door to see no one was out there.
He leaned back onto the wall as he tried to calm himself down to continue looking. Why was he being weak again? As if he was brand new, he struggling to stand and think. He forced himself back to his feet, trying to quickly get to the end of the hall, find vhamp, and lay down for a moment.
It was too much though. He couldn't keep going. He had to sit down for a moment.

Galvana slowly took the gauze off his eye. Luckily, it had stopped bleeding, but a long crack still stretched along the eye.
"What does it look like now?" She asked.

"Like.. my eyes was kinda split in half, kinda like a broken window."

"Ok, but you can see somewhat normal, right?"

"Yeah. And my eye kinda..sees lights as brighter than normal, like a light was shining right into my eye."

"Alright. We'll get you a replacement one soon enough. You think you can stay like that until i get one?"

"Mhm!"

"Alright. Run along then." She picked him up and placed him back onto the ground. His wings fluttered as he landed.
"Also...Mom."

"Yes?"

"I-i know i never asked before, mostly because i thought it was normal until i asked others, but.. do you know of any weird eyes that watch you when you can't sleep at night?"
Galvana turned away from her work, looking at him with confusion and seriousness.
"What do you mean 'weird eyes,' Air?"

"When i can't sleep at night, two eyes look at me like they aren't natural. Like, crazy eyes. Sometimes, it speaks and sounds like you, dad, rare, or wubbox. I know its not any of you guys though, because i turned the light on and it's gone."

"Air, look. Theres no such thing as weird eyes in the corner. It's just a reflection of moonlight."

"I-im not lying! I swear!"

"Don't make me put you in time out."
Air huffed angrily. Why couldn't she believe him? He saw them nearly every night because of his sleep condition. Or, maybe the inability of sleep was the cause of these hallucinations.
It's better not to argue with mom anyhow.
