"So.." Astro walked across the path as he talked to you. "What is it called when you.. Uhm.. how do you say.. bonded to me?"

Marriage.

"Eh?!? We're married??" Astro asked, suddenly stopping in his tracks.

The bonding of two souls that will stay together until death is called marriage, is it not?

"Well.." Astro scratches his head. "I guess so.." He shrugged. He then paused. "Wait, you want to stay with me until I die?" He asked.

Yes, Astro, you are a perfect match for me to bond with. I will never find someone like you.

"Awe shucks.. you're not so bad, you know that?" Astro grinned, a blush forming on his cheeks. You didn't reply to his competent, though, you felt warm and happy to be with him. After a few minutes of walking, you decided to speak up.

Astro boy?

"Just Astro is fine, (Y/N)."

Astro. Who are your friends?

"My friends? Well. We all go to school together, apart from Reno. He's in the circus." You didn't say anything, so Astro continued. "There is Alejo, who is super smart. Kennedy is pretty relaxed and nice to hang out with, and then there's Abercrombie!"

Who do you like the most?

"Like the most? I like all of them! I don't have a favourite!" Astro smiled. "Here we are!" Astro looked up at their tree house and placed his hands on his hips.

I'm nervous.

"You'll be fine, I'll make sure nothing happens to you." Astro said, trying to make you feel better. He climbed up the tree house and saw all his friends talking. They then stopped and stared at him. "Hey guys..." He waved.

"Hey Astro. You feeling any better?" Kennedy asked.

"Yeah yeah! Much better in fact!" He smiled and sat down with them.

"What's got you in such a good mood?" Alejo asked.

"Well, I've made a new friend, and I'd like you all to meet her." He exclaimed happily.

"Her?" They all glanced at each other.

"Yeah, she's a little shy so it might take a while for her to come out." He sweat dropped, this sounded better in his head.

"Come out?"

Astro stood forward facing everyone, waiting for you to make your big entrance. You, not wanting to make Astro look bad, took control of his body.

"Hello everyone." You smiled and waved. Astro's eyes had changed to a (E/C) to signify that you were in control. The others looked at each other then burst out laughing.

"Very funny Astro! Just because you can change your voice and eye colour doesn't mean you're a new person." Alejo said.

"What? No, guys. Her name is (Y/N), and she is like a voice in my head." Astro knew he sounded nuts, but he hoped the others would believe him.

"If you can prove that you got some girl in your head, we will believe you." Alejo crossed his arms and sat back.

"I-..." Astro stopped stayed still. Like he was waiting for you to tell him what to do. "Alright! I got an idea." He smiled. Others looked at him, unconvinced. "Reno, give me your arm."

Reno tensed up and lifted one eyebrow, but he gave his arm to Astro anyway. "So what do you need my arm for?"

"If it hurts, just give her back to me." Astro instructed as he touched Reno's arm. Reno staggered back.

"Hurts?" He asked, leaning on the wooden wall, he was beginning to sweat.

Hello circus boy.

"Ahh!!" Reno stumbled back. He looked at Astro and then to the others frantically.

"Don't worry. We can't hear her, only you can." Astro smiled nervously. "Just calm down. She's not going to hurt you." Reno was trying to regulate his breathing but he was finding it hard. The boy nodded and tried to calm down.

"I'm trying to be calm down but my heart is beating too fast!" Reno placed his hand on his chest to feel his racing heart beat.

I can help you.

Reno then suddenly felt his heart slow down, and his breathing too. "What's going on?" He asked Astro. "Why is my heart slowing down??"

"She can control things inside your body." Astro smiled and sweat dropped.

Alejo's eyes sparkled. "I want her next! Give her to me!" He placed his hand on Reno's arm like Astro did. He waited for something big to happen.

Can I go?

You asked Reno. Reno slowly nodded. "Ah.. sure." He said, you were kinda polite, he liked that.

Alejo grinned, but then he frowned when Reno pulled away and he didn't feel anything. "Is something supposed to happen?" He asked.

"Do you feel sick?" Astro asked.

"Now that I think about it.." Alejo held his head. "I have a splitting headache. Maybe even a migraine.." He groaned. Kennedy touched Alejo's shoulder.

"Maybe it's that girl?" He asked. Kennedy's hand snapped off of Alejo's shoulder.

"Oh hey, my headache is gone." Alejo smiled, now relieved.

"I think she's in me now?" Kennedy looked at his arm that touched Alejo.

Hi there Kennedy.

"Woah! Hehe! Okay! She sure is!" Kennedy nodded and placed his hands on his hips.

"Do you feel sick?" Astro asked.

"No.. I think I'm alright." Kennedy nodded. "So what's your name?" He asked, wanting you to introduce yourself without Astro.

I am (Y/N). It's nice to meet you.

Kennedy smiled slightly. "She's nice.." He have a thumbs up to Astro who smiled back. "Hey Abercrombie! Want to meet her too?" He asked.

"N-N-No.. I'm okay." He shook his head no and back away into the corner.

"I'll take her back then." Astro walked up to Kennedy, about to touch him, but Kennedy pulled back.

"Uhm.." He sighed and nodded. "Okay fine.." He hesitantly let Astro touch him so you could bond back to him.

It feels good to be back with you.

Astro smiled at your words. "So, what do you guys think of her?"

"I like her! She's nice." Kennedy grinned.

"Mm. Yeah, I wouldn't mind having her around me all the time." Reno shrugged.

"So what do you think of them?" Astro asked you.

If I bond with Alejo again, he might die.

"Eh??" Astro shook his head. "Why??" The four boys stared at Astro in awe as he talked to you. You must have said something pretty bad for him to act like that.

He is too small for my amount of energy. Remember when I told you-

"Yes, I remember." Astro sighed. "What about Kennedy?" He looked up at the dark haired boy, who smiled nervously. He hoped you like him.

He can handle the energy better, if he isn't exercising or doing something to use it, then he could get very ill too.

"And Reno?" Astro rubbed his arm.

He's very fit. I could stay with him for as much as he needs because he's constantly doing tricks in the circus!

If Astro looked in a mirror, he's sure you'd be smiling. He looked up to his friends who await to hear what you think of them. "Okay.. Alejo, sorry but you're not a very good match." Astro shrugged. "But she does like you."

"Damn." He sighed and shook his head.

"Kennedy?" Astro looked at him. "You're an.. okay match." He moved his wrist side to side. "Last, Reno. You're actually a perfect match." Astro smiled at him.

"So that means she likes me?" Reno asked.

Astro listened to you for a moment. "Yeah, she likes you. She says that she'll bond with you again if you need."

"Heck yeah!" Reno pumped his fist up into the air.

"Well, now that we've got a new member to our group, let's go out for lunch!" Kennedy suggested.

"Yeah!" Abercombie grinned. The four of them jumped out of the tree house, talking about what food they would get.

"I have a feeling that we aren't going to bonded all the time.." Astro sweat dropped, he was a little jealous that they liked you so much.

Don't worry, I would never leave you for another. After all, you're my perfect match.

Astro's cheeks grew hot, even though he was sure you weren't flirting. "I wouldn't leave you either."
