You sighed as you and Astro exited the ministry of science. After explaining to Tenma just who these robots were, he agreed to help them. You held your hands behind your back as you and Astro walked along the footpath. The two of you walked in a comfortable silence. You glanced at Astro and stopped. Astro saw this and also stopped. He then turned towards you.

"Y/N? Is something the matter?" He questioned. You breathed in and let out a sigh.

"I...want to go back to school." You admitted as you stared at your feet. Astro's eyes widened at this. He then grinned.

"Really!? That's great! When are you thinking of going back?" Astro questioned, excited to have you back in school with him. You glanced over towards the horizon and shrugged.

"I'm not too sure. Maybe next month? I'll have to discuss this with my parents." You told. Astro nodded.

"Yeah, I understand." Astro then stared at you. You didn't have your blindfold on at the moment so the setting sun was reflected in your eyes, making them look almost golden. To Astro's disappointment, you placed the blindfold back on and turned towards Astro and smiled.

"I should be heading home now. So, I'll see you later." You told and waved to him. Astro waved back at you and sighed as you walked away. He then smiled slightly. You would finally be coming back to school. This, he was very excited for.

You swallowed hard as you faced your parents who eyed you. They then glanced at each other and turned back towards you.

"Um, may you please repeat that?" Your mother asked gently. You breathed in.

"I...want to go back to school." You told carefully. Your mother stared at you for a moment. She then sighed and sat down on the couch as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Y/N, are you sure if that is even a good idea? I wouldn't want for you to get bullied, sweetie. Plus, I'm worried for your safety." Your mother told as she looked up at you. You frowned at your mother.

"I'll be fine. I'll have my blindfold on and the people there already know me. Besides, I'll have my friends and Astro with me, so everything will be fine." You assured. Your mother was about to object more when your father rested a comforting hand on her shoulder and smiled at her.

"Y/N will be fine. After all, if she managed to take down a crazy scientist and his robot, then she'll be fine in school." Your father assured. Your mother frowned. She then turned towards you. You gave her a pleading look.

"Please, mum. I really do want to go back to school. I need this education so that I can pursue my career in becoming a police woman. Please, can I go back to school?" You begged. Your mother pressed her lips into a thin line as she thought. She then sighed and nodded.

"Alright, I'll allow it. But only on one condition. That Astro boy, you must stay by his side at all times. Am I understood?" Your mother stated. You smiled and nodded.

"Crystal!" You then ran over to your mother and hugged her while smiling. "Thank you so much! So, when am I going back?" You questioned. Your father smiled at you an ruffled your hair.

"You can go back in a month. Actually, we'll need to contact Astro and his father to sort some things out." Your father stated. You grinned and nodded.

"I'll go and call him!" You exclaimed and ran over to the phone. You then picked it up and dialed Astro's home phone number.

Astro sat on the couch with Orrin, his cowardly robot servant and friend. Astro flinched slightly as a jump scare appeared and Orrin cried out and clung onto Astro. Astro lightly pushed on Orrin.
