The man in question

You and Plue sweat dropped as Astro was forced to take pictures of Veronica who was pulling poses on a rock in front of a waterfall. Veronica pulled some faces along with some poses and blew kisses at the camera that Astro was holding. Astro grimaced and sighed. Why did he have to be the one to take the photos? He'd rather be with you and Plue than do this. Veronica noticed Astro's lack of enthusiasm and huffed.

"Astro! Stop pulling that face, you should be honoured that I'm allowing you to take pictures of me for free. I'll even give you an autograph once we're finished here." Veronica offered as she winked at him. Astro stared at Veronica with a blank expression. He then shut off the camera and turned away.

"No thanks." Astro then ran up to you and Plue who were admiring the crystals embedded into the walls. Veronica growled and stood up.

"Hey, we're not finished yet!" Veronica shouted. She then huffed and walked over to Astro and snatched the camera out of his hands. "Give me that!" Veronica looked down at the pictures and her eyes widened. Although Astro lacked the motivation, he was pretty good at taking pictures! Veronica smiled and looked at Astro, pleased with his work. "You've done quite well, I'll use these." Astro looked back at Veronica and nodded.

"Okay, I wasn't going to take more anyway." A tick mark appeared on Veronica's head and she glared at Astro.

"You're quite rude for a robot." Veronica told as she crossed her arms. Astro blinked at Veronica.

"I didn't mean to come off as rude, I was only stating the truth." Veronica rolled her eyes and turned away.

"Well sometimes truths aren't meant to be told. You keep them to yourself." Veronica stated. Astro looked at Veronica's camera and he glanced at you and Plue. He then smiled and turned towards Veronica.

"Hey Veronica, since I helped you with your pictures, can I borrow your camera?" Astro requested. Veronica raised her eyebrow at Astro.

"Hm? Borrow it? I don't know what you're planning to do with it but I guess I'll allow it. Just don't break it you hear me?" Astro nodded and Veronica handed him the camera. Astro then ran over to both you and Plue and smiled.

"Hey guys, say cheese!" Astro told as he got ready to take a picture. You and Plue turned towards Astro with wide eyes and saw the camera. The two of you then smiled and grinned at Astro while pulling a peace sign pose. Astro took the picture and grinned. He then handed it back to Veronica. "Thanks for letting me use it." Veronica frowned at the lack of photos taken and she sighed. She then shoved Astro towards both you and Plue.

"Oh that was barely anything! Go pose with the two losers, I'll take the picture." Veronica ordered. You frowned at being called a loser but pulled Astro towards you anyway. You then smiled at him.

"This is our first picture together! Let's make it count!" You exclaimed. Astro smiled and nodded. The two of your then wrapped your arms around each other's shoulders and held Plue between the two of you. The three of you the smiled into the camera. Veronica took the picture and nodded.

"It came out well. Of course it did though because I was the one who took it." Veronica told. You rolled your eyes and ran up to her.

"Hey let's take a picture. All four of us." You suggested. Veronica's eyes widened. She then glanced down at her camera and sighed.

"Fine, if you insist." You grinned and ran over to Astro and Plue just as Veronica set the camera up and put a timer on it. She then walked over to you and was about to cross her arms when you wrapped both of your arms around Veronica and Astro's necks and grinned at the camera. Astro did the same but only wrapped his arm around your neck, Veronica was too far away. Veronica's eyes widened and Plue jumped up high in the air.
