~'+ASTRO+'~

Astro sighed as he stared at the clock on the other side of the room. It was already 4:23, and Dandy was supposed to have shown up at 4. He put one of his pairs of hands on his chin, bored and disappointed. He had wanted to meet up with Dandy after the whole...incident... to have some emotional support. And now Dandy wasn't there to help him.

         He sighed. The pillow pile he was sitting in was slowly getting crushed under his body weight, and it was uncomfortable after sitting in the same spot for over 40 minutes. He got up. He was independent! He could go find Dandy himself! Readjusting his night cap and cloak, he snuck out of his room in search of Dandy. 

He searched in every single room he could possibly think of where Dandy could possibly be. When that didn't work, he searched every other room. Still nothing. Astro sighed. This was hopeless. Dandy was nowhere, and Dandy had broken his promise of showing up. He just had to accept that- 

CRASH!

Astro jumped at the sudden noise. It had definitely come from a nearby room, he was sure of it. Quietly, he crept up to the room where he thought he had heard the crash. It was an employee office room. He'd never been inside one of them himself, nor had any other Toon that he knew of. They weren't supposed to go in there. 

              Plus, no employees or anyone else was here either, so he found it very strange for noise to emanate from this room specifically. He slowly opened the door, just in case anyone was inside. He had to put one of his hands over his mouth to stop himself from gasping.

              From where he was standing (and with the door being mostly closed), he couldn't see much, but from what he could see, it was horrific, even compared to some of the other shit he had been through.

                There was an employee, backed into the farthest corner of the room, bleeding from one of her cheeks. She was crying vigorously, and shaking violently. Standing above her was a...he didn't really know what it was. But whatever it was, it felt...familiar. It was mostly black, and mostly cat-like in terms of posture and body shape.

                He couldn't see it's face, but from where he was standing, the top of it's head adorned three colorful...PETALS?! But, no, it...couldn't be...

                It then lifted it's front (Paw?? Hand??), and grab the woman's head, her still sobbing, and violently tore it off, her scream getting cut off as the spine, arteries, and nerves were detached from the rest of her body. Human blood poured out onto the floor, as it squirted out of the detached head and her neck, and the room reeked of iron. The figure stood still, rooted in the ground.

               Astro didn't want to stand and watch whatever was about to happen next. He quietly, yet shakily, shut the door and ran to his room as fast as he could, black, ichor-filled tears rolling from his eyes and onto the floor in rapid motion. He didn't care if anybody saw him anymore; he was too much in shock and denial. 

               He knew that the tall figure was Dandy, but he didn't want to acknowledge it at all. He didn't even want to fucking think about the likely situation. And the fact that he was somehow a Twisted...but that wasn't possible! He had been normal the day before, and this morning as well.

               Soon he made into his room, his face wet with tears, and his cloak and hat a mess. He collapsed into his pile of pillows, to lazy to get into bed. As he sunk into the pillows, he thought about what he had just witnessed, against his will. With his emotions being all over the place, he couldn't stop himself of thinking about things that scared him.

               Why would Dandy do such a thing. WHY WOULD HE EVEN FUCKING DARE?!?!? This was not the Dandy he knew. Maybe he never even knew Dandy after all. But Dandy was his friend and partner. He LOVED him. Astro felt a large since of betrayal. He closed his eye, tried to give himself a sleep of no dreams, hoping that he would wake up and realize it was all a dream.

Author note: Oh my gosh I'm finally fucking writing this! I've had the idea to write this for a while, I just never got to it because I was kinda unmotivated. Anyway, hoping to write more over the weekend or somethin like that. Expect Chapter 2 somewhat soon! (Also, sorry that it's a little short, I don't tend to write very long chapters. Someday I might add more to this chapter, but who knows!)

                                                                                                                                        -Vee!
