Andromeda, Hyperion, and Dawn are relaxing near Saturn. While the trio stargazed, Diana was dusting off the Moon, looking over at Avani talking to the humans on Earth.

"Anything new with the humans today, Avani?" Diana curiously asked.

Avani smiled and nodded. "You already know it! They're constantly making new foods, new clothes, and these things called 'trends'. I don't really understand the gist of them, but the humans love them, so I suppose it's something good."

Andromeda glanced over and looked at the two talking. She couldn't help but notice they seem to always smile so brightly when they talk. She turned to face Hyperion, who noticed her curiosity.

"It appears you are quite intrigued by those two. Do you wish to know about them, Andromeda?"

"How do you always know what I'm thinking about, Hyperion? It's really cool when you do that!"

Hyperion and Dawn both smiled at Andromeda, amused by her reaction to Hyperion's ability.

"Did he not already tell you? Hyperion can read minds, silly!"

Andromeda was quite starstruck by this information, looking like she could bounce off of walls. While they were on the topic of abilities, Hyperion looked towards Andromeda, a suddenly fascinated look on his face.

"Andromeda? We are aware that you are capable of teleportation. But what else can you do?" Hyperion asked, his tone gentle, yet intrigued.

Out of nowhere, Andromeda gestured her hand forwards, facing her blackhole. Hyperion and Dawn watch this action, a bit confused. Neither of them asked, however, as they assumed something was going to happen.

To both their surprises, Andromeda had pulled a random object out of the blackhole, which was a simple rubber duck. She squeezed it, making the duck let out a small quack noise.

"That's a really cute rubber duck!" Dawn said, obviously very infatuated by it. 

Hyperion inspected the rubber duck, smiling towards it. "I'm assuming you were demonstrating your telekinesis, is that right, Andromeda?"

Andromeda nodded. Hyperion gave her a pat on the head, causing her to giggle a bit.

Dawn then recalled something. "You know, your father had the ability to read minds as well."

Andromeda and Hyperion both looked intrigued by this. What was a surprise to pretty much every guardian was that Andromeda's father may have been chaotic and destructive, but he still explained his ways. Which was quite odd for him to do, and even weirder for the guardians to hear.

Knowing that, Andromeda attempted to use her telepathy on someone.

"Hm..Dawn, you're currently thinking about the next time you will get to talk with Iris and Skylette, right?"

Andromeda giggled when she saw Dawn become completely dumbfounded. Hyperion used his telepathy and also read the same thing, so he looked proudly towards Andromeda.

"I'm very proud of you, Andromeda." Hyperion said, an ecstatic smile on his face.

Dawn then gave Hyperion a mischievous look, which concerned him. Andromeda looked confused as to why, since Dawn was consistently smiling brighter than every light on Earth.

"Sooo, when do you plan on-"

Hyperion immediately put his hand on Dawn's face, looking away with a flustered expression. Both he and Dawn knew what she was going to say, as she laughed under his hand.

Hyperion then scolded her. "It is not something you have to tell everyone, Dawn. That is personal business."

Andromeda opened her mouth to speak, but she had the feeling Hyperion wouldn't want to answer her question, so she paused. She wanted to read Dawn's mind to know what she was going to say, but Andromeda knew she was better than that, so she didn't.

Eventually, Avani stopped by, waving to the trio.

"Hey guys! Anything fun happening over here?" Avani asked, having an excited smile on her face.

They all waved back, looking in Avani's direction. Hyperion spoke up about what was currently going on.

"Well, I don't entirely know what you truly consider fun since you're quite excitable, but me and Dawn were intrigued about Andromeda's abilities. Why do you ask, Avani?"

Avani had the most joyous expression any guardian had ever seen, so much to where it even surprised Dawn. She then started to look around for Nori, but the others didn't know what she was doing.

"A-Avani, if you don't mind me asking..why do you want Nori here all of a sudden?" Andromeda said, having read her mind prior to asking.

Avani then just looked as astonished as Dawn had when Andromeda read her mind. She realized she could, and looked up at Hyperion and Dawn.

"Guys, guys! We should tell Nori since she knows blackhole guardians best, doesn't she?" Avani brought up a good point. With everything that Andromeda's father would do, the other guardians would sometimes notice her taking a mental note of it. 

Nodding their heads, Hyperion and Dawn went over to find Nori.

Avani gestured for Andromeda to do the same as she followed them. Andromeda followed through as well, going over with them.

Out in the farther distance, there were two guardians that weren't often seen, watching the others go off on their journey: Jupiter and Uranus. 

All that the group knew, besides Andromeda, is that they would approve of this action later on.
