through broken times - Fruitcake, part one.

Clouded Memory

Sprout could NEVER forget that day...he never would... And he never could...it happened like it was yesterday...

🍓: "COSSY, C'MON, RUN"

Sprout was DESPERATELY praying that he and Cosmo, could escape alive and in infected... Praying to GOD the could...

🍰: "I-I'm trying Sprout!"

After that... That's when it happened...Vee... As the MONSTER, she had become...knocked him out... Knocked his world out... Knocked Cosmo out...

Sprout was shaking.
He was panting.
He was sweating.
He was shivering.
He was crying.

Vee had a little of herself there... So she
.. Knocked him out...

Despite their rivalry... He was thankful she did that...

Cosmo was bleeding from his head... He wasn't infected... He'd show signs by now... He'd show signs...

Sprout took him up and carried him back to the shelter...he SWORE... This will NEVER happen to his Cosmo again... Ever...

He'd make sure of that.
He promised he would.

Back at the shelter, Tisha was cleaning... Gasping when she saw what happened based on the state of the pastry...

💦: "Oh my feather duster! The poor thing! Quick, get him in the infermary!"

On approaching the infermary... Everyone shot worried looks... Especially Astro...Who was on the verge of tears...

🍓: "Please...be ok...wake up soon..."

And so the months of torment began...

That's how Sprout was here now...looking horrible and not taking care of himself...

Hey! So, not bad after Being away for ages huh?

So, why Astro was as upset as sprout is because in both TOTM and my head cannon/au, Astro is Cosmo's father.
