Toon handlers POV (Astros Toon handler)
It was another day of work for me.. Of dealing with the children till I felt a tug on my shirt I turn my head to see Astro. He looked nervous "Oh! Astro is there anything you need?, " I ask in a soft tone not wanting to frighten him
He then starts speaking "𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞.." He said in a shy and quite tone of course they were taking pictures when it obviously says no Photography around Astro can't they read?! I sigh and ask him "alright.. Where are the kids?" I say Astro points to a group of kids, I walk to the group of kids they were giggling and talking "alright I know you kids wanted a picture but please Read the rules. It says no photography around Astro.. " the kids look up at me
Kid 1: why does he get special treatment!?! We can take pictures of the other toons but not him!?! " she says in a rude tone damn these kids are much harsher! "Look kid it's not 'special treatment' he just doesn't like his picture taken. It makes him uncomfortable and nervous."
Kid 2: it's not fair tho!"
Kid 3: yeah! And we can do whatever we want you can't stop us nor can the stupid rules! " he says as the group walks off all on my mind was the attitude they had! Goodness gracious how does the parents deal with them!?! I roll my eyes and go back to where I was. And went back to talking to the other toon handler (Dandys toon handler is named Thomas. And Astros toon handler is named miles for now :D! ) we were talking while Thomas suggested that Dandy and Astro should meet each other I had nothing against it so why not I go find Astro who was sleeping in the library... I wake him up "𝐡𝐮𝐡.. 𝐎𝐡.. 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠?.. " he says in a tried tone "yup! Your meeting a new friend today" I say as he gets up and follows me out the library where Thomas and Dandy are waiting. Thomas then spoke up "𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭! 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨. " he says as he smiles warmly Dandy and Astro looked at each other in silence till dandy finally said something "oh. Uh- Hi.. " he said in a unsure tone Astro then backed up and his behind Miles leg since he had Social anxiety. "Uh.. Maybe he isn't Ready to talk yet?.. " he says Thomas completely understood at what he meant "𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞- 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬! " he spoke softly Miles then allows Astro to go back with he was doing before as he walks back to the library. He also sees Dandy walk back to his pet Rock Pebble.

It was finally time to close GardenView. I watched as the kids begin to get picked up by their parents few by few once they were finally gone I begin to walk around to pick up any trash that was left behind which was mostly ripped drawings or candy rappers. Once I was done I had to find Astro and get him in his room. I looked around and finally found him he was with Razzle&Dazzle I walked to them and picked up Astro, they were asleep I walk to Astros room and place him on his bed where he is finally at rest.. I leave his room and close the door behind me as I watched the other toon handlers put the (Main) Toons in their room. I went to go grab my stuff which where my keys and bag. I finally head out to leave but heard my name being called out.. Of course someone has me do something when I'm just about to leave.. I turn around and see Thomas "yes? " I said trying to sound calm and not irritated "𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭.. 𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐬" I slightly got mad at this "it's not my fault he has social anxiety.. And it's his choice if he wants to be friends with anyone.. I shouldn't have to do that.. " I say it's clear he can see me getting irritated "𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐈'𝐦 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠. " He rolls his eyes as he walks away. I watched Thomas walk away maybe he was right..? I decided to not worry about it much as I walk outta the building and to my Car where I open the doors and turn my car on putting my bag in the passenger seat and closing the door. I drove outta the parking lot and went home finally..
