"Lady Astro! Please wake up. It's time for school." A voice called.

A child version of Astro says "I am not going."

The voice says "My lady, please? Stop your delinquent phase."

The sound of the door could be heard. Then a new voice said "Stop being stubborn. Either go to school or work on your life extension thesis."

She thought "Only one person would try to make me work. She is here! I only have one chance!"

Astro throws the covers at the voice at the door and shouts "Meteora" while holding her fist.

Astro lungs at Meteora for a surprise attack.

Astro's planned surprise attack was ineffective.

Meteora grabs Astro's face and says "Keep this up and I will burn you alive with my hellfire."

She throws her to the ground.

Astro says "I almost had you."

Meteora laughs and says "No you didn't. Why do you use your fist when you know you don't have any talent? You have the best affinity to be a mage. Martial arts is looked down upon in this domain anyway."

Astro says "You use martial arts."

Meteora says, "I am suited for it, just like you are suited to be a mage."

Astro says "I want to be able to like you."

Meteora says to the maid "Leave the room."

"I shall take my leave." the maid said

The maid closed the door on the way out.

Meteora says "I am me and you are you. Stop trying to be like me."

Astro says "I'm not!"

Meteora says "Then act your age and go to school!"

She responds "Why do I have to go to school when you don't?"

Meteora hears "Monster. Demon child. Who even is her mother? Why do we have to act like she is one of us? I don't want to play with her. I just wished she disappeared." in her head.

Meteora shouts furiously "Shut up! I hate you all!"

Astro says while crying "You hate me?"

Meteora hugs Astro and says "I could never hate you. I'm sorry you had to hear that."

Astro stops crying and says "It's ok. So I don't have to go to school?"

Meteora says "Your going."

Astro says "Why? I am smarter and older than the rest."

Meteora says "That is because you are special. We are special."

Astro says, "Yeah, yeah, they call me the Prodigy World Space Causality. I'm the only one of its kind. Space itself bends to my will. I heard it all."

Meteora says "Well have you heard?"

Astro says "What?!"

Meteora stops hugging Astro and hits her in the head.

Astro shouts "What was that for?!"

Meteora says "Stop being so cocky. You may be smart and somewhat strong but not perfect nor invincible. Somebody will always be stronger."

Astro says "Fine but your punch hurt really bad. Read me a story tonight."

Meteora says "Let me guess. One with humans and maybe a hero."

Astro eyes begin to light up and have stars

Meteora looks into her eyes and says "It's so easy to read you. You show your emotions too easily."

Astro asks "Is Mother going to be home today?"

Meteora sighs and says "I don't know but I will be with you since you just cause trouble if I forced you to school. Plus, you have some more tests today."

Astro says "I hate dealing with Asclepius. I hate when people play with my body."








Moon says "Astro... Wake up... I need help... Get up!"
