[ I know this ooc for shrimpo but why not write it, also Astro fans he will be mentioned here, I stole this idea from a fic of A03, it's called " A Shrimp can dream by galaxozo, highly recommended read, this is basically my take on it but instead of boxten and shrimpo it's Goob lol. ]
[ anyways that's enough background info, enjoy! sorry if my writing isn't the best. ]

Astro always liked to look at other people's dreams, Dandy's dreams were interesting but he.. prefer not to mention them, Toodles dreams were always filled with childish thoughts, like a lake filled with chocolate, like Willy Wonka.
Teagan didn't dream very much, as the civil lady she was, Rodger was just him solving his cases with no issues, Glisten's was him performing on a stage, him as the center spotlight per usual Glisten wouldn't have it any other way.
Boxten's was just about him and Poppy living happily, most of the dreams were wholesome and which Astro kept it that way, it was his responsibility of course.
But Shrimpo's dreams we're always interesting to him, It was normally just Shrimpo.. doing nice stuff for toons, Even in one dream, he made strawberry cupcakes for Goob, as a thank you for distracting and saving him, which is honestly sweet of the shrimp.
but it's everything opposite of what Shrimpo acted like, Astro was confused to say the least so he always kept a extra close eye, or well arm to watch Shrimpo's dream.
Astro had a idea, just a small experiment of course, what if he were to try and make Shrimpo act out one of the dreams. Of course it would be a little hard with his shy attitude but just a small social experiment, so he gently got up and walked over to Sprout's Room, and knocked on it, and Cosmo answered it. " Astro? Do you need something? " He asked.
Astro nodded softly, he was a little confused why Cosmo was in Sprout's room, he got to see a small peek, which was UNO cards everywhere. " Oh yea, May I speak with Sprout for a moment? " Astro said calmly.
Cosmo nodded as he let Astro in which Sprout was just chilling on his bed, putting on his signature scarf.
Sprout perked up as he saw Astro, and smiled a little bit. " Astro! What do you need? "
Astro suddenly felt nervous, god he hated asking stuff of people, okay Astro just ask about Shrimpo, it's not that hard.
" Oh uhm, I wanna hold a experiment on something, and I need your help. " Astro said as best as he could.
" Huh? A experiment on what? " Sprout asked curiously.
Astro took a small breath to explain. " Yknow how I look over toon's dream?... I've been watching over Shrimpo's dreams lately, and they are out of character for him, to say the least... "
Astro continues to explain the dream that Shrimpo had to Sprout as Cosmo just listened in calmly.
Sprout and Cosmo looked at eachother and looked at Astro again. " So you want us to try and push Shrimpo to the direction of that dream? "
Astro nodded, the plan was to have Sprout and Cosmo to ask Shrimpo if he wanted to make strawberry cupcakes with them, and then remind him about that one time Goob saved him, and gently push him in the direction, should be easy enough.
Sprout nodded determinedly and Cosmo just nodded gently. " We will try our best Astro. "
Astro just smiled softly and murmured a thank you as he left.
Now it was all up to Sprout and Cosmo.
Sprout looked at Cosmo and Cosmo nodded as they both got up at the non-verbal cue and went to Shrimpo's room.
