I woke up from my second nap of the day, moving carefully as to disturb the still asleep Astro. Leaving his room to go to mine, but just as I open the door. I see Boxten leaving Rory's room, seemingly happy. I closed the door again and pondered. Poppy told me that it took her 1 week to even get Boxten to talk to her without mumbling. Rory has barely been here for a day, and he's already comfortable in her room. [Is there something going on between them? No, she probably took our advice and asked Boxten ways to improve her singing.] I opened the door again, and this time seeing the both of them down the hall chatting about something I couldn't hear. Looking around the hall and seeing nobody, I decided to follow them. Scraps and Glisten had come around the corner and saw the other two. "Wow, I have never seen you having a conversation without mumbling Boxten." Scraps pointed out. Rory titled her head to the side in confusion. "Mumbling? You mumble? I never thought as such, since you talked very clearly back in my room." This had definitely caught their attention.

Glistem walked closer to them. "Your room? So, it's just you two alone in there?" He asked with a teasing tone, smirking. The orange TV, completely oblivious, nodded. Meanwhile, Boxten was blushing profusely. "You must be real special if that's the case then, since Boxten is super shy." Scraps joined in on the teasing. Rory gave a small gasp at that and turned to the music box. "I'm special to you? Is that true?" Stumbling over his words and face completely red, Boxten just gave a shaky thumbs up. Screen displaying a wide smile, the TV toon gave him a tight hug. "That's such an honour to hear!" The mirror and paper craft giggled as they left the scene they had created. [Why do I feel a sudden pang in my heart? Jealously? No, I don't have any feelings towards Boxten and definitely none for Rory. So why???] I was too distracted with my sudden problem that I didn't realise Rory and Boxten had broken the hug and already walked off ahead of me.

Those two had definitely gotten the wrong idea about us. Although that was understandable since I am never this open with anybody but I was just trying to help her. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I tripped over something. Falling harshly to the ground, I winced from the pain. Turns out, I tripped on Aurora's mic chord. She reached a hand towards me and helped me up, asking if I was ok. "I'm alright. What about you, tho? I did step on your tail after all." She started to inspect said mic tail. "No damage, and I'm okay! Also, about earlier.... I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable or anything. It was just nice to hear that someone had considered me special.." Aurora said while fiddling with her robotic fingers. I felt sympathy towards her. Everybody is special and should know about it. I hesitantly grabbed a hold of her cold yet warm robotic hands. "You are special, Aurora. It's doesn't matter what flaws or problems, it doesn't change anything about you." She looks shocked before giving a big smile. Let the others think what they want because being friends with Aurora is something I will never be embarrassed of.
