PvP

You all sat in silence as you thought about what was to come next in the games. Well, most of you anyway. Astro stared at the ground, Kennedy still stuck in his mind. You sighed and flopped down on your bed.

"Argh, I can't picture what might come next in the games." You whined. Plue crossed his arms and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I mean the hunt or be hunted game was really shocking." Plue told. He then clenched his paws into fists. "I still can't believe that they used the black plague as an event in their games. I mean as survivors of the black plague, that's just insulting!" Plue yelled. You calmly rested your hand on Plue's shoulder.

"Plue, that's enough. Let's not dwell on the past." You told. Plue sighed and nodded. Veronica and Zack glanced at each other, unsure as of what to do in that situation. Zack then noticed that Astro was still deep in thought and he raised an eyebrow at the robot.

"Astro?" Zack questioned. Astro was snapped out of his thoughts and his head whipped up to Zack.

"H-huh? Yeah what is it?" Astro questioned. Zack frowned.

"You've been awfully quiet. Is something the matter?" Astro shook his head and smiled.

"No, everything is alright. I was just deep in thought was all..." Astro said, although you could sense that he wasn't telling the truth. You frowned at Astro and rested your hand on his, causing for him to flinch.

"Astro, are you sure that everything is alright?" You questioned. Astro turned towards you and stared at your features which showed worry. Astro then felt his heartstrings tug and he felt a lump form in his throat even though he was a robot. He then sighed and smiled warmly at you. He just couldn't stand lying to you.

"I guess something has been on my mind for a while now. Well, more like someone." Astro admitted as he tore his gaze away from yours and looked down to the ground. You raised an eyebrow at Astro.

"You had someone on your mind? Who was it?" You questioned, feeling a slight pain in your chest. You frowned and held your hand to you chest. What was this feeling? Astro gripped his hands together and furrowed his brow.

"For some reason I can't get the boy from the games out of my mind." Astro stated. Plue took a bite out of his fish and looked up at Astro.

"You mean Kennedy?" Plue questioned, his mouth fool of fish. Veronica gave Plue a look of disgust and she began to lecture Plue on table manners to which Plue replied with 'but we're not sitting at a table.' This earned Plue a good hard smack on top of the head. Astro nodded and frowned.

"Kennedy...for some reason it feels like I've met him before..." Astro admitted. You frowned at Astro.

"But that's impossible. How could you have met him before when Plue and I were the first ones to have found you?" You questioned. Astro shrugged and looked at you.

"That's just the thing, I don't know." Astro then laid down on the bed both you and Astro were sitting on and sighed. "This is so confusing." Astro muttered as he closed his eyes. You looked down at him and saw that Astro's breathing became slow and steady, signalling that he had fallen asleep. You smiled slightly at him and brushed your hand over his head. Veronica sighed and stood up.

"Well, it's getting late. We'd better turn in for the night." Veronica told as she dragged Zack up by the ear. Zack winced and followed Veronica out of the room. Plue sighed in relief.

"Thank god the she devil is gone..." Plue muttered. He then jumped into the basket with the pillow and blanket in it and yawned. "Well I'm going to hit the hay, good night Y/N." Plue mumbled before his eyes fluttered shut and slumber took over him. You smiled at Plue and made your way over to your own bed and tucked yourself in. You then gave Astro one final glance before your eyes fluttered shut and you fell into a deep slumber.
