You smiled as you sat with Cora and Zane on the fresh green grass while Astro played catch with the twins and trash can. The twins laughed as Astro threw the ball at a fair enough distance. Cora giggled and looked at you.

"You know, last time Astro played fetch with trash can he had thrown the wrench at a far away distance and trash can didn't come back until morning." Cora told as she laughed. You too laughed and covered your mouth to muffle your laughter. Zane sighed and leaned back on his hands.

"I wasn't laughing when I had to go and find him. He'd gotten himself trapped in one of our traps." Zane told. You smiled and picked up your walking stick.

"You know, when I was a little girl, I used to go into the woods with my dad and we'd go out hunting." You told. Zane and Cora's eyes widened as they looked at you.

"No way! Wait, so you used a gun!?" Zane questioned. You smiled and nodded. The twins had over heard your conversation and looked towards you just as Astro threw the ball to Sludge. The ball missed Sludge and flew in your direction. Astro's eyes widened.

"Y/N! Look out!" Astro cried. Your eyes widened as the ball flew in your direction. On instinct, you lifted up your walking stick and whacked the ball to the side, which caused it to go flying into Zane's face. Everyone gasped when Zane fell over and saw stars.

"Ugh..." Zane groaned as the ball rolled onto the ground. A look of confusion crossed your face.

"Huh? What happened? Where did the ball go?" You questioned as you held the walking stick to your chest. Widget and Sludge smiled at you and grinned.

"Woah, that was awesome! Even though you're blind, you managed to deflect Astro's ball!" The twins exclaimed. Your eyes widened.

"I did!?" Astro ran up to you and nodded.

"Yeah! Although you did hit the ball into Zane's face." Astro told as he sweat dropped at Zane. He then gave you an apologetic look as he scratched the back of his head. "Sorry about that by the way." You smiled and shook your head.

"No, it's okay. But is Zane going to be okay?" You questioned. Cora shrugged.

"Eh, he'll be okay. Now tell us how you used a gun!" Cora exclaimed. You smiled and nodded as everyone sat down in front of you.

"Well, my first time using a gun was when I was six years old. My dad had finally allowed me to use one. So my first target was a dear." You heard Sludge, Widget and Astro gasp.

"You didn't kill it, did you!?" Widget questioned. Cora frowned at Widget.

"Who cares? I mean it's just a deer." The twins and Astro frowned at Cora.

"A deer is a living thing. I don't really think that they should be hunted. They're majestic creatures who-" Cora rolled her eyes and kicked Astro on the chest, causing for him to fall over.

"Yeah yeah, we know. So, Y/N did you kill it?" Cora questioned as she turned towards you. You shook your head.

"No, I missed. Actually, I did real is something though. When we got back home, I immediately cried because I thought that it was unfair for the deer who had done nothing wrong so I told my father I didn't want to kill animals. He still taught me how to use a gun though." You told. Zane sat up and raised his eyebrow at you.

"Say why did you wanna learn how to use em anyway? Were you thinking of becoming a cop or somethin?" You nodded.

"Yes, actually. I wanted to become a cop and help others. I had made sure to get good grades in school and had made sure to keep my fitness levels up. Although, I guess that dream has gone down the drain heh heh..." You told as you looked down and clenched the walking stick in your hands. Astro frowned and looked down as well. Cora frowned and stood up.
