Astro had been feeling strange for days, he had been very tired, but he was always on full energy. It was like he was sick, but whenever he got checked up on. Nothing was wrong.

This all started around last week, Doctor Mini Mini was starting a new plan to rule the world, but it didn't work of course. The doctor was saying something about 'Robots will never need energy ever again' and 'With this chip, I will rule the world!' Of course, Astro had to stop him. But he hadn't exactly done anything to hurt anyone, he was just making threats. So when Astro went to face the mad Doctor, he had already prepared for the robot hero. There was a poorly put together robot that seemed like it was supposed to try and fight him. If it wasn't so broken down, maybe it would have been worth a fight, but it wasn't. Just a small punch sent it flying across the floor and made it shut down.

Once the mad man had been taken away, Astro went back to the crime scene to take a look at the poor robot that he had to beat up. Once he had stepped over to look at the thing, he gasped. It was still working, ever so slightly. But it looked horrible. It's metals had rusted from the inside out. Astro bent down to try and look at its face and that's when the grabbed onto Astro's arm. "Hello Astro Boy." It's voice was defiantly feminine but the design seemed to be masculine.

Astro gasped and got to have a good look at the robot with (E/C) glowing eyes and a deathly smile before it's eyes went cold and it stopped moving once again. Astro jerked his arm away.

"What the heck.." He brushed off the rust that got on his arm and stepped back. He stayed there for a minute to see if the robot moved, but it didn't. Weird.

Ever since then, Astro felt strange. It wasn't a bad strange.. though it wasn't exactly a good one either.

"Astro!" Kennedy knocked on the robots head. "Earth to Astro Boy?"

Astro was snapped out of his imagination when his hand shot up and grabbed Kennedy's wrist to stop him from knocking on his head. "A-Ah.. yeah I'm here sorry." Astro let go of his friends wrist in embarrassment.

"Uhm.." Kennedy pulled his hand away from Astro's and was about to say something else but then Astro spoke up.

"Listen guys. I'm not feeling too good. I think I'm going to head back home. I'll talk later when I'm better." Astro stepped back. "Cya." He waved and then flew out of their tree house.

"Do you think he's okay?" Kennedy asked, turning back to his three friends.

"Yeah, he's probably just worried about something." Alejo shrugged it off.

~~~~~

Once Astro had gotten home he had trouble with his rockets, they wouldn't turn off even when he tried to do it manually. "What the—" Then they turned off making him fall on the ground with a sudden 'thud' "Ow.." He got up from the ground, brushed himself off and then knocked on his door. No one answered so he just walked in and shut the door behind him. "Hello? Anyone home?" He asked aloud. "Guess not." He shrugged. Astro then heard some giggling. He smiled, I must have been Zoran. He was about to turn a corner to try and find her but then his little sister jumped out.

"Boo!" She yelled. Astro stumbled back, and as he did, his arm turned into a blaster without his doing. Zoran stepped back. "S-Sorry big bother!" She covered her eyes in fear.

"Eh??" Astro looked at his arm, then back down to Zoran, why was he suddenly glitching out?? "Sorry Zoran." He stepped to the side of his sister and ran up to his room.

Astro got to his room and went to the bathroom. He leaned on the sink and looked at himself in the mirror. "What is wrong with me?" He asked himself.

Astro boy

For a second his eyes shone a (E/C) colour before going back to normal "Ahh!" Astro stumbled back and landed in the bathtub. He knocked his head on the tiles and felt his body suddenly shut down.

~~~~~

Astro woke up in his bed and groaned. "What is going on?" He asked. Astro walked down stairs while doing a self body scan. Nothing was wrong with him, but then again, he felt horrible. He got to the kitchen to see that it was dark, he must have slept through the rest of the day.

Don't answer that door

Astro gasped and looked around, there was that girly voice again. It sounded almost distorted though. Then, there was a knock on the door. 'Who could that be at this time?' Astro asked himself, he looked out the keyhole of the door and saw no one was there, so he opened the door. Before Astro could say anything, rusty robots (much like the one he had to fight) came out and pulled him out his house. Astro yelped out and his rockets were activated sending him up into the air. The poor robot cried out in fear.

Fly

The voice ordered, Astro looked down to the ground only to see the rusty robots starting to fly after him. He gasped and started to fly in the opposite direction. His body turned so that he was in a superman position. He didn't even want to do that, but it was like something pulled him into the helpful position.

One of the robots tried to grab Astro's leg but he then swung around and grabbed the robot by its neck, crushing it until the head popped off. "Oh my god.." He breathed. His rockets then turned off, leaving him falling from the sky. Astro yelled out for someone to help him before he hit the ground, but then to his luck, his rockets turned on and he was flying around the ally ways of Metro city trying to loose the breaking down robots. "What do you guys want?!" Astro looked back to yell that at them. His head then whipped around to see what was in front of them.

Me, Astro Boy.

Astro stopped his rockets and started to run up a wall that was in his way. He then pushed off the wall and turned to face his oncoming foes. They headed straight for Astro, then they split up. Flying opposite ways. Astro looked at them confused. He then flew back to the floor. "Where did they go?" He asked, looking around. Astro heard a humming noise behind him and his arm whipped from his side and grabbed another robot by its neck. Astro turned to see what had happened and then his eyes widened. His hand squeezed down on the robots neck, making its head also pop off. "Thanks.." He said, still scared to death.

You are welcome.

"I need to get out of here before the other ones get me.." Astro staggered back and looked around. His rockets started again, sending him back to his house. They were on full blast, making Astro surprised and making it hard for him to steady himself. Astro zoomed past shops, but one place made him turn his rockets off and slide across the ground to stop himself

What are you doing Astro boy? We need to go.

It was a mirror store, his reflection wasn't... correct. He walked up to the mirror store and gasped. He then squinted his eyes at the mirrors. So did his 'reflection'. "That's you, isn't it?" A young girl with (E/C) eyes and (H/C) hair stared back at him. She grinned. Bits of her were messed up, like glitches.

No, that's us.

"Us?" Astro asked, leaning closer to the mirror.

Yes Astro boy. Us. We are one, you and I.

Astro shook his head, still not believing his eyes. "But what if I don't want 'us'?" Astro boy asked. Your smile turned into a frown and your fist banged on the mirror making Astro jump back.

Then think of yourself as my ride.

She grinned again. "Your ride? I don't understand.." People walking around watched Astro like he was on drugs. He gulped and then turned back to the mirror. You were gone.

Let's go home Astro Boy.

~~~~~~~~

"So.. I'm like your perfect match?" Astro sat down on the bed and then laid down.

Yes.

"That means if I die, then you die." Astro fiddled with his thumbs. You had both been talking for a while, Astro was trying understand just what and who you were. "Because you can't survive without a robot, and or a human body."

You stayed silent.

"I'll take that as a yes." Astro rolled onto his side. "So.. how did you.. get into me?"

I passed myself onto you when you came back to investigate.

"That was you!?" Astro sat up. "I punch you in the face.." he placed his hand over his mouth.

You punched my rotting body.

"But.. isn't that you?" Astro asked.

No. That body was unfit for me, it would have died with my circumstances.

"What do you mean?"

I supply energy, that body could not handle my amount of energy. The spare acid started to rot the inside.

"Are you doing that to me?" Astro asked, doing another body scan. He seemed to be fine.

So far, no.

"So tell me-" Astro stopped. "Hey.. do you have a name?"

Astro boy.

"No, no. That's my name." Astro chuckled at you. "We might be one, but you still need your own name."

Make me one.

"How does.. (Y/N) sound..?" Astro asked.

Yes. I like that.

"Well then.. (Y/N).." Astro smiled to himself. "What are your plans for.. us? You said something like 'I'm just along for the ride' what is that supposed to mean?" You didn't respond. Astro waited for a little bit before getting off on his bed. "(Y/N)? You still here friend?" Astro knocked on his head, that seemed to piss you off last time, but you didn't do anything this time. Astro looked around his room for a mirror. He then opened the door to his bathroom and turned to look at you in the mirror.

We are going to help the Doctor

You smirked at him. Astro furrowed his brow and shook his head. "We? Why do I have a feeling you aren't just talking about you and I?"

There are others, Astro Boy. The ones who were chasing us, they are like me.

"But why do you have to help Doctor Mini Mini??" Astro questioned.

Because he made us. He created us. I have no worth for this planet. So I don't care what he does when he takes control of it.

"Take control??" Astro's eyes widened as he stared at the girl in front of him.

He will take control of all the robots in the world with things like me. We will overthrow the humans and he will win.

"No! I won't let you do that! I can't let you take control of me!" Astro shook his head at you. "I thought you were my friend (Y/N)!"

I am!

You hissed. "No! You're the opposite! I'll get you out of me! I will stop you all! You- you parasite!" Astro boy yelled. He smacked his head, trying to get you out somehow.

PARASITE?!?

Astro was then flung to the wall by his own legs pushing himself off. He looked up at the mirror once again. You weren't smiling, it was almost as if you were sad that Astro didn't want you anymore. You were still in a defensive position. After, Astro blink a few times and then he was left with his own reflection. He so felt lonely once again.

~~~~~~

Astro woke up on the floor. Not in his bed, not under the covers, and not feeling like he was always with someone. He was alone. Without you. He got up and dusted himself off. He was mad, but also sad. You were going to betray him? Right after he felt happy to have you by his side. He shook his head and clenched his fists. "I need to get to Doctor Mini Mini!" He said, Astro opened the door to get out of the bathroom. He glanced at the mirror one more time, once he saw his little parasite wasn't there, he sighed and ran out.

Astro flew through the city, looking for any commotion. He flew up very high to the tallest building he could find and landed on top of it. He huffed and then looked around. Nothing big seemed to be happening, but he was sure that something was going to happen.

Your city is nice.. it's saddening to see it go..

You murmured. Astro sighed, he knew you were still in his head, but he was waiting for when you would show yourself. The tension was actually starting to get to him. "You don't have to see it go." Astro said. To which you didn't reply. "Help me (Y/N). If you want to stay with me. Then help me." Astro begged. You still didn't answer back. Just as Astro was about to give up on you, you activated his rockets and sent him flying somewhere.

You had landed Astro in the front of a old warehouse. "So, what changed your mind?" He questioned.

Your world is too pretty to see go to waste.

"No, seriously."

You, Astro, you changed my mind..

Astro smiled to himself. He made you choose the right side. Now with you, he had the confidence to get rid of Doctor Mini Mini's robots.
"Doctor!" Astro burst in through the doors. Mini had seemed to somehow gotten out of jail and return to his destructive robots.

"Ahh.. Astro boy. You've got here just in time." The mad man grinned. "You won't be able to stop all of them Astro Boy! I have created hundreds!" He laughed. "Unless you have a team of hero's. Then you'll never beat me."

"I don't have a team doctor. But I do have a partner." You voice echoed through Astro's.

Doctor Mini Mini gasped. "He has one of my chips!" He staggered back.

"That's right doctor." You had basically taken over Astro's body by now to have a convocation with your creator.

"How did he get his hands on you my dear?" The Doctor walked up to you, trying to play the sympathy act.

"I passed myself onto him." You grinned and looked down at the short Doctor with your gleaming (E/C) eyes.

"Come back to me my little parasite." The doctor smiled while sweating a lot.

"PARASITE?!?" You grabbed Mini by the neck and and shoved him up to the wall. "Shut them down! Shut down all the robots or I'll end your life!" You threatened.

"O-" He tried to speak but since you had Astro's hand around his neck...

Astro let go of the Doctor. "(Y/N)..!" He scolded.

Sorry.

"Okay! Okay! I'll shut down the machines! Just keep that thing out of control!" Mini pleaded.

"Shut it down." Astro said again, in a mean tone.

Doctor Mini Mini was forced to shut down the machine that created all of his robots, killing the chips that gave them energy. Well.. all except one.

~~~~~~~

"Okay (Y/N).. since you're sticking around, which I'm completely fine with! We will need to lay down some ground rules." Astro opened his closet and looked at all the clothes he could wear. You, spotting something you liked, made Astro reach over and grab it.

Okay.

"Alright.. well next time, you want to do something, or you want me to do something. You need to ask permission." Astro said, smiling to himself as he looked at the outfit you chose for him.

May I have permission for us to wear these clothes?

"Yes you may." Astro chuckled a little as he placed on the light blue clothes on. "But." He placed on his shirt. "There is more." He brushed down the top to get and dust off it. "You can't grab anybody by the neck anymore."

Why not?

"Because it's hurting people. We can't hurt people." Astro explained.

Do I need to ask permission?

"No. You can't hurt any humans, they are fragile and can feel pain." Astro looked at you in his mirror.

What about robots?

You copied Astro's position like a reflection would, but your facial expression was confused. "Robots are a little different. You need to ask me if it's okay for them."

I will.

"Good. Now then, how about we go introduce you to my friends?"

I really enjoyed making this chapter! It's a bit of a weird relationship, but I like it! Let me know if you want to see some more of our little communist parasite.
