Accident

| |Astro's pov| |

I woke from the second nap of the day or evening cause it's currently 3:48 pm right now. Shelly must've gone to her room since I don't see her with me. I should probably go deliver the book Sprout requested. Left my room to go to the library again but saw the ammonite shell just standing in the middle of the hall. Approaching and getting her attention, I asked her what was wrong. After telling me what happened recently, there was a slight implication that she was jealous. Shelly only sees Boxten as a friend, so that left one more option. "Have you developed a crush for Aurora?" I asked her bluntly, seeing her eyes go wide in shock. Shelly went on a whole rant on why she didn't like her, which made it seem more like the opposite. Not wanting to upset her, I just nodded.

Before she could continue talking, the door to Cosmo's room opens with Sprout with a slightly annoyed look. He saw us and walked over to where we were. "Astro, didn't I ask you to get a book for me to read with Cosmo?" I just looked down with no response. Sprout just rolled his eyes before waving to Shelly after he finally noticed she is there. "Did you know there's a new toon today?" He shook his head at the news. Suddenly, there was a loud clang from the room the strawberry had just left. Immediately running over with us following, we see Cosmo lying on the ground face first with an empty tray beside him. "Cosmo!!" Lifting the pastry back on the bed, Sprout checked for any sign of injuries. Giving a sigh of relief on finding no visible wounds.

After asking what happened, Cosmo explained that he fell while trying to go to the bathroom due to a sudden leg cramp. "I'm just glad you're safe and sound." The strawberry gave him a hug which was reciprocated. There was a knock and stood at the door was Aurora with a worried expression on her screen. "I was going back to my room and suddenly heard something. Is everything okay?" Sprout had reassured her that it's fine now before introducing himself and Cosmo. Noticing the tray on the ground, the TV questioned about it. "I accidentally fell and dropped the tray along with me." Aurora waved goodbye before going back to her room. Sprout had shoved me and Shelly back into the hallway after asking me to bring the book that was requested.
