Chapter Text
Astro and Sprout were cuddled up together in comfort, four arms and all. Astro sighed softly into the fragaria's touch silently appreciating his pulse with a soft smile
“...Thanks again for coming down here, Astro. I'm happy you did, really.” Sprout hummed out with a sheepish smile.
The celestial looked up from Sprout's chest to nod “I hope I didn't stress Cosmo for stopping dinner to check up on you...-” he winced at the thought as he cuddled back up to the berry.
“I'm sure it's fine, Sprout, but seriously, don't skip meals for me again,” he said protectively, looking down at Astro.
“Don't worry it's about it...” The moon suddenly sat up and grabbed his cornflower blanket, and Sprout whined at his leave, “Where are you going, Astro...!”
Astro sighed at the needy strawberry and booped him with his magic. “You need heals, my love. I'll be back, I promise.”

Ding! Astro leaves the elevator silently, his steps quiet as a mouse “Dandy...?-”
“Good golly!?” Dandy stumbles in shock and drops boxes of candy “...Owwhhh-oh! Heya pal! Didn't hear ya' comin' aha-” he stands back up and scratches the back of his head as he frolics over and sits on his pillow leaning towards the counter
“What do ya' need blue one!” he grins
Astro blinked unimpressed at the "blue one" comment but he shook his head to snap out of what absolutely wasn't the topic. “Do you have any bands in stock Dandy...?”
“Depends!” Dandy shrugs with a giggle “Who's it for, hmmmm?” The flower taps his fingers on the counter and his petals spin slightly.
“Ugh, Dandy...- here, I offer one hundred tapes on me Dandy.” he uses his magic to pull a hundred tapes out of his pocket, offering “WOOOAH! Seriously Astro?!”
“Just take them and give me the band you goof...!” Astro scoffs playfully, and Dandy practically squeals as he gets on his tippy toes to get a band from the top shelf and excitedly hands it to Astro. “Thank you...” Astro gave him the tapes and Dandy skipped away in joy.
“He's so odd...” Astro chuckles softly and goes back to the elevator, pressing the button for Sprout's floor and- toon rooms...?? Huh..

Astro hummed along to the elevator tune Clair De Lune (hey that rhymes !!) before the elevator stopped, but. It didn't chime...?? The elevator starts to frantically shake as in stuck “Ah-!” Astro held on tight to his blanket and the band, tensed up at the sudden commotion “What...!”
Astro stumbles and the elevator shake at just the right time for him to tragically hit his head HARD on the metal elevator railing, Astro drops everything in a sting of pain. Everything was spinning and it was blurry Astro groans and his eyes flutter shut, his body going limp as his natural soft blue light flickers off and the elevator continues to softly ascend to toon rooms after a small moment of inconvenience.
