The Past Stays In The Past While The Future Lives On..

The Harsh reality..

Shelly has always been a cheery toon and is willing to tell any dinosaur facts. As the days went on some people started to get a bit annoyed with all the facts about the prehistoric creature Shelly kept telling them.

"Hey Astro, did you know that dinosaur fossilized skin impressions have revealed that some dinosaurs, like Edmontosaurus, had quill knobs, just like modern birds, indicating they had feathers or quill-like structures!" Shelly spoke in an excited tone because she thought he loved hearing dinosaur facts from herself.

"..That's great Shelly but I-" Before he could get his sentence out she interrupted him without noticing.

    She kept ranting about some more dinosaur facts like they used to eat rocks to help with digestion and that their fossils vary from differ types for different dinosaurs. Astro sighed loud enough for Shelly to stop talking and looked at him to make sure she wasn't annoying him but she could tell even if he didn't want to tell her in person. She was starting to annoy him. Shelly looked away and chuckled nervously, a bit in discomfort from getting on his nerves, speaking up.

"Oh, Astro, I have to uh... You know, talk with... Shrimpo! He said he wanted me to do something for him...!" She scurries away from Astro and hides behind a corner, thinking about the guilt of lying to Astro and if she has been annoying everyone with her facts.

    Shelly stands back up and walks over to her toon room before bumping into her toon handler. She looked up at her and she looked somewhat confused as to why Shelly was over by the corner sitting there. Before her toon handler could speak Shelly moves out of her way and gets to her room, locking the door. Shelly laid in her bed and thought about everyone's reactions to her dinosaur facts. She started to feel a bit melancholic before a tear fell down her face. Next thing she knew she was crying, a lot. She never wanted to be a nuisance to every toon she talked to. Shelly thought more about it and thought about Vee. She knew Vee as a Tv but she might enjoy the information...right? Shelly started to feel a bit tired, skipping her dinner and fell asleep. Then before getting a lick of sleep she woke up from a nightmare of killing herself, she darted up on her bed and got up to walk over to Astro's room to ask for a dream. But before knocking on the door she took a step back from his door. Astro needed his sleep and Shelly didn't want to annoy him again for the millionth time. A tear fell down her face again and she wiped it away before heading back to her toon room. With that nightmare she thought of an idea, maybe if she committed suicide then everyone would be at peace. Second guessing the idea, she backed down because Vee might like her company and her toon handler might be depressed if that happened. She walked out of her room once more to go get a knife and a rope. After the little trip she stuffed them under her bed and laid back down in her bed. She thought about dinosaur facts to calm her nerves and before she knew it, she fell asleep once more. Shelly woke up and realized that she had eyebags under her eyes from staying up for so long last night. She walked out of her room with a blanket around herself and went over to the kitchen to get some breakfast at the table. She saw Sprout and Cosmo cooking and smiled a bit.

Shelly looked at what they were cooking and decided to ask them a question, a fairly simple one, "..What are you two making?"

Sprout sprung up in joy and answered the question, "Were making some pastries and some bacon with eggs! We made you-" He was stopped with a hand over his mouth by Cosmo.

"We made a surprise for you everyone including you Shelly, and Sprout won't spoil it hopefully, hint, hint." Cosmo chuckled and took his hand off of Sprouts mouth.

Sprout nudges Cosmo a little and smiles while a light laugh too, "Well you didn't have to cover my mouth!"

Cosmo nudges him back and scoffs playfully, "I just don't want the surprise being told, and we need to work fast and stay focused on them before they burn."
