It was a normal day on Gardenview, the toon be doing there usually routines. Helping each other, hang out around the areas that the where still safe to go and travel alone and even go to the rooftop to watch the night shy with the many stars or outside of the garden to planted new plants or even find bones from diamonds!

After the close of the Gardenview backinghe early 2000s, (idk if it canon or not.) the toons where left behind, because The Gardenview was a factory and there where a lot of supplies and a lot of food, they could survive. Toons have put some roles to the could keep the Gardenview in a good condition in the inside. Like Tisha, she is keep the room and some areas clean and love from others to help around sometimes, Teagen be the lady who look for everyone to have a calm day with just a cup of tea. But the mains have other priorities and more important than any other toon.

The main character have more responsibility and they look after everyone…Astro be one of the few toons who is awake at night, but he keep everyone dreams in a relaxing and peaceful dream, he can get requests of what dream they want and he will do it. Sprout it in charge for the food supplies and he is the chef as others have told him, also cosmo is helping him around sometimes, they are the best duo for coming to preparing food for all of them. Vee is taking charge of all the electricity and technology supply in here, look how many electricity had been spend the day or look if a computers or an other technological equipment have broke so she could fix it. She is also the host of their game show that keep everyone entertained and she is the only one that she has all the answers in every question, because she can download them to her tv head by the computer there.

And Shelly, Shelly is the explorer and help around as much as she can. She is always stay positive and help around even if she want to do something else. She is in charge of everyone’s activities going smoothly and help around. One this is that Shelly is the forgotten one from the mains, she does has people that she really talk to or she help them around, but a lot of them still as the other mains for help, she doesn’t say anything even though she feel a outcast. When she has a free time, (mostly on evenings) where they other toons start to go for bed she stay a little up to excavat to find dinosaurs bones.

But one this that only four toons have noticed Shelly’s overhelp other more that in the start or be awake and late at night, she is zoned out a lot and sometimes she force a smile while be tired so no one suspicious about her behaviour.

The four toons are Astro, Teagen, Tisha and surprise shrimpo. Astro be the only main that actually notices her, be the last to go to sleep and on the day see her face to be more tired and exhausted, Teagen through her tea parties she make once every week for everyone to join, Tisha, her closest friends (not best friends)

 through there cleaning, when they fix the toons room in the morning after breakfast or even moving some boxes around and sometimes when they talk together. And there is shrimpo. The ‘bully’ of the Gardenview but actually he just don’t like be around others, he has angry issues and have a small temper of anger, but despite that he does have friends, goob and Finn. But one think is that he can see notices small details around him without talk to anyone, he have noticed Shelly’s behaviour. Is not different from her happy and cheerful character but rather be more tired but still kind and helpful around. He feels a little bad for her.

It was a normal evening, everyone doing there own thinks. Boxten, goob and scraps drawing as boxten play music and help scraps and goob craft some new origamis stars, flower and more, sprout and cosmo baking a cake for the next day as they where listening to soft-lofy music, Poppy, Teagen, Finn and Tisha be at a tea party, Gigi and Flutter running/flying around the main lobby, Brightney, Astro and Razzle & Dazzle reading books and make stories to tell to the others one day on there club they where and ect.

Vee as usual fixing some of the computer that someone have accidentally drops a pop coda on top of it and now have to fix it, Shelly was here helping her fixed it, but she just mostly sit behind a little away as she just watch out of boredom, she love helping other but just sit and just watch is just to bordering for her…

“I have to go Vee, I will help one other day” she say as she smile a little.

Vee just turned for a little and went back to continue fixing the computer, as she just say “okay”

Shelly smile as she exits the computer room…she wake through the hallway as she took a her phone, (yes they have phones) it was around 21:43pm, (9:43pm for some that can’t understand it) some toon have start to getting to there rooms to get ready for the next day.. she sigh as she silently walk to the lobby and enter to the elevator to go to the rooftop. After she arrived up she went to the spot where they have place a area to lay there and watch the stars with pillows, blankets, bagging bags to sit or lay on top and a telescope who only Astro can use it and they can’t use it but only with his permission…

Shelly took a blanket, sit down and just look up at the stars with an exhausted face as she relax.

“What are you doing up there?”

Shelly jump up as she look behind her to see shrimpo be here with some snack and some can of o’ pop.

“Oh…shrimpo, hi… what brings you here?” She ask him with a small smile, forcing it.

“It Friday…I came here every Friday night since most of the other days especially on weekends the others come here only if Astro comes here, I hate be around everybody on the rooftop!” He say annoyed and aggressive.

“Oh…” She say as she turn back to where she was some seconds ago. She spoke again “You can sit if you want…”

“I know…” Shrimpo spoke in his usual tone, as he sit down to one of the bagging bags that where there.

They say in silence for some minute just looking at the stars and he starts to eating there snacks he brought, shrimpo look at Shelly as he guess it correctly, she look tired and exhausted, with bag under her face just lost in her thoughts while looking up in the night sky with the many stars of the galaxy.

“Everything good?” He say not changing his expression.

Shelly look at shrimpo still zoned out but came back fast.

“Oh…yea everything okay…don’t worry…” She was surprised hearing shrimpo asking if she was okay, something unfamiliar with, she look at him, he was still have his annoying-angry face on him, but she noticed he was more relaxed and calm that he is usually is.

“Just a little tired that usual…but don’t worry.” she say as she lay down with a blanket around her, but shrimpo knew that this is not true.

“As you wish then.” as he look away from her when he lay down and he went back to look at the stars.

2 hour past as it was around 23:06pm (11:06pm) shrimpo sigh as he continues to lay down. He look beside him and he noticed Shelly’s half asleep half awake expression, “When it was the last time you sleep fully?” he ask her as she amount went to sleep out of tiredness.

she look at him a little out of zone but still managed to answer him clearly. “Aamm…I think the day before yesterday..?” She say awkwardly as she didn’t want to bother him with her exhaustion…but he saw through her lies.

“Are you sure?” he ask her looking a little annoyed of her small lied. “Yea I’m sure shrimpo don’t worry about it.” Shelly say saking her hand in a negative sign that she wasn’t but he didn’t believe her.

“Come..” he say as he stand up and turn around torched her. Shelly was surprised and a little confused of why he want from her?

“No I'm fine Shrimpo, if you want to leave you can…” she say smile a little but he didn’t care.

“I insist Shelly, now Cone!” he raise his voice a little as he pull out his hand from behind and pull it infront of her, she didn’t know what he was planning, ‘maybe it isn’t a bad idea, maybe now that he is more calm it will be much better…’ she thought to herself as she nod and put her hand to his as he pull her up to stand.

“Okay now let’s go.” Shrimpo say as he continues to hold her hand without realise it,Shelly was genuinely surprised that he was still hold her but she didn’t say anything and say quiet as a small smile came through her face.

Summary:

After shrimpo and Shelly enter the elevator they when to the kitchen Shelly is confused of why there on the kitchen but slowly after she will not regret coming with him.

Hi guys, this is chapter 2, I finally finished the wip of chapter 2 and if you read it before the full version im happy about it. Enjoy the full chapter 2😊

 

——————————————

 

They were standing still in silence in the elevator as they continue to going down. Shelly start to feel more tired but she continues to stand normally. After a while she look at her flip phone,(YES. they have phone, but there phones are on the mid-end of the 2000s like 2004-2008 but more specific flip phones, mp3 and many more that i can't remember...) it was 00:12am ‘00:12am I wonder where shrimpo want to go on this time…I don’t mind but I will rather not annoyed him now…but he look more calm but still he has that angry face…’ she thought as she look at the time and starting to loose track of reality… shrimpo notices her zone out and he put his hand on her shoulder for a second soo she could zone back to reality.

They elevate stop as it open and reveal the kitchen-diner area..Shelly look at the area confused of why they where there in the middle of the midnight…Shrimpo walk first and Shelly follow along behind him…It was dark soo she use her flip phone for flashlight because their are close after 23:00pm. As they enter the kitchen area, shrimpo open the light of the kitchen.

Shrimpo enter as he walk close to the oven and shelly following from behind and sitting on the other side where they where some tall chairs.

"sooo why are we here..?" Shelly ask as she smile curiosity and nervous about that hole idea.

"have you ate anything after the lunch?" Shrimpo ask as he was holding a pan.

She look away avoiding eye contact.

"god damnit...shelly" he say quiet lay on himself annoyed as he roll his eyes.

He open the oven light and from a drawe he takes a  pot, he pull it under the sink so he could put water in and then he place it on the open eye, in the water he put some oil and a little salt and close it and wait for the water to boiled.

Shelly as as he watched him waiting for the water to boil and her curiosity win her. "sooo..what are you making now?"

Shrimpo look at her with cross arms. "you will see."

"Oh..." she say as she place her hand on her cheek as she sigh out of boredom...

Shrimpo say breaking the silent. "what bright you earlier up in the rouftop?"

"just sitting and looking at the stars...what else you think I was doing?" she say frustrate and look on the second elevator near them that was close.

shrimpo didn't believe her fully, but he didn't continue to bother soo they when again to a silent. After a while the water start to boil, shrimpo took a packet of spaghetti from the drawer, open it and place them in the boiling water.

"spaghetti.?” shelly ask herself quietly, curious.

He hear her and spoke,"Yes..you don't like them..?" Shrimpo ask with a raise eyebrow, cross hand looking at her a little annoyed.

Shelly noticed his experience as she realised she say it out loud, "OH.! I didn't me..mean that ...i do like spa-spaghetti i just to tured to stay focused or even not zoned out..." she say putting a hand behind her neck and smile awkwardly and embarrassed.

He didn't say anything as he turn to focus on the food he make.

 

---

 

A hour pass, she was among ready faint there and sleep but then shrimpo put a plate in front of her, making her jump a little. 

"Here... Spaghetti with a cheese and sauce..." He say as he take a sit beside her as he have a plate with food and for him.

Shelly look at it for a while. She look at shrimpo that he was waiting for her. 

"are you going to try it?" He ask.

"Oh... Yea sure." She say nervous as she never have try sheimpos vooking skills, it look really delicious. She close her eye, take a deep breath and eat one bite from the fork.

Immediately after she bite it she open her eyes and look at the food and the back to shrimpo and done it a little bit, which make shrimpo confused of her reaction.

"what happened?"

"Did you make it?" she ask surprised him.

"Shelly..You saw me making it..OFC i did, And why is that you ask?" he ask not knowing her correcta answer she means.

"Because this is soo amazing.!!! It taste soo delicious i could taste the difference flavour that the sauce has, with the melted cheese on top." she say with a smile on her as she enjoys the food in every bite she make.

Shrimpo smile (something surprising for him to do) a little, not showing ofc, he sigh returning back to his usual expression and start his food too.

 

---

 

after they finish Shelly was full but she was more sleepy that before. Shrimpo took the two plate and wash the plate the forks , the pot and the pan he use. "You like it.?" he ask.

"If I like it…OFC I LIKE IT!!! It was sooo delicious. I didn't know you are that good at cooking shrimpo?" she say with a smile on her face as she wait for him to finish the dishes.

"Great... Just if you want more spaghetti from tonight or tomorrow they will be on the fridge, just you let you know." he point out on the fridge behind him as he place the remaining spaghetti on a boll a closing the fridge.

"Come on lets go.." he say as he close the light of the oven and after they exit then he close the kitchen lights. They walk to the elevator to go to there rooms. Again as previously they were in silence.

After some minute the large metal door open reviling there hallway of all toon's room. They start to walk through the dark hallway where everyone were sleeping. Shelly open again her flip phone to use the flashlight on her phone soo they could see..

They came to the hallway where the main toon's rooms where, they walk a little bit as they where in the frond door for shelly's room.

"...Thank for the midnight meal shrimpo...i appreciate...reaaa...yaaaawwnnn.." she yawn loudly and rub her hand on her eye.

Shrimpo chucked and pat her head for a second. "don't thank me, I always be better that this strawberry and his little friend... I just prefer not to show it.." he say proudly.

Shelly chuckled tiredly. "anyway goodnight shrimpo.." she wave at him with a wake-tired smile on her as she unlocked her door.

He wave back as she close the door. He walk away from her door later on he went to his room, he unlocked it and went inside, closing it again after he entered. He lay down on his bed to go to sleep.

On shelly side. After she close the door slowly she was speechless she didn't expect shrimpo of all the toons in the Gardenview to make food for her and is something that she like to someone make for her in her bad days or even when she is really tired, but how does he knew that. She push this though away as she put her dinosaur pyjamas, went to her bed to sleep, it was hard at first but after a while her body relax as went to sleep.

Chapter 3: A quiet afternoon outside

Summary:

It was a great day soo all the toons decided it will be a great time for all of them to pass there afternoon in the outside area of the building. Shelly was as usual alone sitting close to the lake as everyone having fun…after a while someone came to see her and they talk…

Notes:

Happy late New year and Happy Late Christmas to everyone I hope everyone have a great time in there holiday…I wish to everyone with health and happiness in the new year ^^

It was a normal day as usual, after the lunch they toons designed to go outside to do some outdoor activities. The garden was a big area one of the few areas that they were outside, same with the rooftop, it has a lake for fishing which is Finns fav part, a garden arena to plant fruits, vegetables and flowers soo they could have extra supplies for making food, a playground, a picnic area and last the excavate area that they could find bones or even play with the sand but is mostly for excavate for dinosaurs bones something that Shelly adores but prefer to do it when she is free and alone.

The weather is was great and it was great to go outside, sprout and cosmo when on the garden to get some vegetables and fruit for todays and tomorrow's dinner, Finn was fishing in the lake while goob, Poppy and Gigi where swimming in the lake, near the lake Glisten, Scraps, Looey and pebble when sitting on some chairs relaxing. On the barbecue area (forgot to mention it 😅) was Flutter, Connie and Vee chatting for random stuff and for some runs.

on the playground was toodles playing around with shrimpo try to play with her but he only look after her because Rodger was busy, Teagen and Tisha chatting for the tea party Teagen think she want to do on the near future and Razzle& dazzle with Brightney, talk for that they read the previous hours.

Shelly was looking around to see if everything going smoothly and they have fun, as that is her responsibility. She was a little more relaxed since open o one ask her for help today, she went around ask if everything is okay and if they need help but as always everyone was okay and could do it without her help.

she went to the lake, she take of her shoes and her socks and sit down and pit only her feet in the water just watching everyone having fun. It was boring but she was relaxing after a long time, but still want someone to talk or have a comfor.

see they other toons having fun she felt again forgot. She doesn’t feel sad since she used to it to be alone.

Since the close of the Gardenview on the early 2000s around two or three years later after they close they start to have a specific routines and some toons found there troops and their  friends to hang out, Shelly wasn’t a popular main for the kids and same with some toons, she was helpful as always but she rarely help because most of the others where could do it and without her help and soo she was bored, ofc she has Tisha as her friend but most of the times was busy with the others.

She lay down on the ground remembering it as she sigh up of the memory, her feet still on the water, ignoring everyone else and just close her eyes as she relax. After a while a shadow saw covering the sun. She slowly open her to see someone looking at her.

She stand up and turn around to saw it was Astro looking at her, “did something happened?” Shelly ask but he sake his head negative.

”oh…sooo what bring you here?” She ask.

astro sit down as he pull of his slippers and his socks off and put the in the water as she has done some minutes ago. “I was looking if you when sleeping or just close your eyes.”

”why?” She ask.

”you know, it been years since you fully relax or be alone.” Astro say.

”and why is that?”

”well…you start to stopping going to other and talk about your dinosaurs fact to others, you overhelp others rather be cosmo on making food or bake or be Tisha with cleaning the rooms of the other toons or some areas, or be with Vee help her with the technological stuff.” He say

”And you think they have noticed?” She say looking at her friend. Astro stay in silence putting a hand on his neck as he say it feeling a little awkward.

”well Teagen have noticed it..”

“Really?” 

“Yea…she ask me because she knew we talk and ask me if everything was okay, because you have rejected one of her invited to her tea parties she makes because you never rejected her offer. She is worried.” Astro say putting his hand back inside his blanket. “She ask me if you can the next week?”

shelly look at him and shake her head negative…”no I won’t I will be busy helping some days Tisha, Vee and maybe some of the others to a run they prepare to get supplies.”

”Oh…” Astro say…”well if she came ask you to talk with some tea, pls don't reject her…it will be just you and Teagen, you know that she want everyone to be fine and happy.” He say a little worried.

Shelly look at the water while Astro was talking…starting to zone out on her thoughts but still listening to him. “When she start to worry?”

”I think a year ago or some months?”

”hmm..” she say just looking at the water as she move her feel frond and back in the water.

Astro place his hand on her shoulder. “Shelly…don’t think that you are forgotten…you know, anything you want to share or you feel very down you can find me or Teagen or you close friend Tisha for help…” 

Shelly look at him neutrally and a little sad.

”and you have problems with your dreams or with your sleep you can go and find me wherever you want…you know that I always help my friends…” He smile at her but she still has the same expression. 

“I will keep that in my mind….” She as she look away. She pull out her feet from the water and stand up. “Well I have to go…maybe some of the others want help around or to move stuff in the garden…bye Astro..” she smile a little before she live him alone in the lake.

after Shelly left to find if someone nead help Astro sigh worried about her…he is the only main that still look after her. He relax a little bit before he hear someone coming from behind.

”Did you forget something shel-“ he say as he turn around to see shrimpo behind him. “Oh! Shrimpo I didn’t know you where coming.”

Shrimpo roll his eyes “yea yea… I know…” he say with his angry tone but not loud as usual but still he has that angry-annoying tone that he has.

”You want anything from me shrimpo or you came just to annoyed someone.?” Astro say straight to his face but shrimpo just sit down near him with make Astro confused. “Question…Are you free tomorrow Sunday afternoon?” Shrimpo ask.

Astro to it to his surprise asking him if he was free. “Yea…I have nothing to do and no run’s happening on the weekend sooo I want have any problem…why is that.?” He ask

”Can you come to Teagens’s room?” He say with his usual tone as always…

”why..is..that?” He ask suspiciously..

”you will see.! Anyway I will see you in Teagen’s room, come on 18:30pm. NO LATE!” and shrimpo left going back where toodles was in the playground.

astro was confused and curious about tomorrow meeting…*”Shrimpo want to me to come to meet him at Teagen's room?”* He thought to himself… *”why thought?”*

————————————————

 

Sorry for the delay, I haven’t any idea for a chapter 3 to write and I try to find what would I write, I thought why not just a relax one since I don’t want to show that they immediately start to talk after what happened but hey…I try my best. Also I might change the way I write, I try to find how i like to write them…anyway thank you for reading until the end and I hope to post the next chapter a little fast…BYE ^^

"Don't say it that fast." Connie say.

"Why not?"

"Because if someone got hurn very badly they will use some of us to get there place." Connie say to boxten.

"Fair.."

Astro was a little behind them listening to what they where say as he joined to the talk. "Anything else except for tye runs.?" He say with his quiet and calm voice as boxten jump a little.

"Sup, Astro." Connie say.

"Well we are looking for tye next week runs." Gigi say.

"Naah i don't really want to think about it." He say. He still talk to dandy but not as before, after the ichor accident that happens...he can't really trust him. "Beside i hope today to be on olny one run..."

"Well luck wasn't with you this week." Gigi say.

"Any else is on the board?" Astro ask again.

"Is still mid September." Astro say.

"We know but her it good to know something early. Beside it the best month." Connie say proudly.

"Well is your month of horror connie." Boxten say a little annoyed about this mention...

"And it will always be spooky around this months as im still here..." She say probably.

"Anyway guys, i have to go...if you need me i will be on my room..you know." Astro say.

"Sure think." Gigi say calmly. "See ya." The others say as astro left the lobby and when to the toons rooms where was his room. On the end of the hallway. 

He open his door as he went and relax on his bed. He look at the time. It was around 15:23pm. He sigh as he have time until the meeting time on teagens room. He relax as he went to his small bookshelf hehas on his room and read some books about space or just story telling.

---

He wake up as he let the book off from his face and look at the time as it was 18:20pm.. he look better as he freak out. He had only have 10 minutes until the meeting.

He went to the bathroom and waah his face so he doesn't look like he just wake up, fix his had and blanket and when of from his room as he lock it from behind.

After a while he when down the hallway as he found teagens room in there. He take a breath before he knock on the door.

"Come in.!" He heard someone call from inside.

He open the door to his surprise he saw tisha, teagen and shrimpo drinks tea and waiting for him.

"Close the door astro please." Teagen say politely. As he did soon after.

He take a seat between tisha and Shrimpo and frond from teagen as he gave him some tea to have in frond of. "Thank.." he say as he drink it.

"soo what did you want me here today." Astro ask.

"Well as i noticed we are the only toons who have noticed Shelly's odd behaviour.."Teagen say. "Who want to explain how they noticed it?" Teagen ask calmly with a small smile.

"Well i have noticed her since she is one of my closest friends i have..." Tisha starts. "After the close, around two year later she became a little more of a close person..like when we clean together she doesn't say her dinosaur facts which at first i thought she had a bad day and didn't want to talk, but this became more frequently and i start to worried. I ask her if everything is okay but she denied and say that everything is fine..but it wasn't." Tisha finish as she felt bad for not be there..

"I was the last one who noticed it...i think." Teagen say. "Well I don't really have a lot to say..the only think is that about 6 months ago she start to reject my offer for yhe tea party which i wasn't use to it by her and i felt that something happened..but everytime taht i ask her she always denied it. Poor girl." She felt bad for her as she drink her tea.

"What about you astro." Shrimpo ask, which surprised him but didn't want to be the only one out.

"Well as all can see I'm the only main that really care for shelly but, to be clear i have see all the states she when...but now i think is the worst one..."

"What do you mean.?" Shrimpo ask.

"Well i mean she doesn't want anyone to speak for her issues or her problems...she rarely sleep full time...she be more alone that ever." Astro say didn't like the thought of see his friend that depressed.. "it like she accepted it...i try everything but still she denied my help..."

Everyone was quite. They drink quietly there tea try to think of that they can do...

"Well i try to see if see will open up but she didn't...but she did like it that i make her some spaghetti to eat.." Shrimpo say breaking the silents. The three of them look at shrimpo with surprise of what he say...

"Wait..did she stay...on your company?" Tisha say surprised.

"Yes.." shrimpo say.

"How long did you notice her odd behaviour of her.?" Teagen ask.

"3 years...why is that?" He ask calmly, which they just stay in silent after hearing it. "What?"

"Nothing shrimpo, is just...-"

"We didn't expect you have noticed it at all.!" Tisha finish what Astro want to say.

"Doea anyone have any idea how can we help shelly to come back to where she was cheerful.?" Teagen say.. "any suggestions.?"

Everyone start to think of what they can do to help her... It take a while before sheimpo spoke against.

"Why not start slowly..?" 

"What do you mean by that?" Tisha ask.

"Well as i have say i start slowly by approaching her without she noticed it...i done it the day before yesterday... She went to the rooftop to just see the stars as i have noticed her that she take the elevator yo go up for the rooftop and i went after some time taht have past. And then we went to the kitchen to make her something to eat since she only ate breakfast and little lunch that day." He say.

"Taht is not a bad idea.." Astro say as he thought more about it.

"Remember that i ask you to tell her to come to my tee party but alone?" Teagen reminds astro.

"Yea..i do"

"Well..i think is a great idea to approach but a time that she doesn't expect it." Teagen 

"Not a bad idea." Shrimpo say.

"Well i can invite her to my roon to think that we will clean it but we will hang out.!" Tisha say at the idea happily.

"I can invite her to the book club that i have with Brightne and Razzle&Dazzle. Or maybe to go show her about the stars." Astro say as he smile of the idea.

"GREAT. now this will start by the mid of this week taht is coming.." shrimpo say exactly"I have my own idea." He say happy which they other three haven't use to see shrimpo like this.

"Anything else?" Tsiha ask.

"Nope."

"Good..have a nice evening." And she left after she finished her tea.

"Well im not going to lie Shrimpo but it was a great idea for this meeting." Teagen say happily.

"Yea.. I can't desigree with her." Astro say after her. "Say..how did you thought of that meeting shrimpo if you want to say" he ask him as he look at him.

"Well...to be cleae..i felt bad for her be that depressed..." He admitted that he didn't like she her soo sad and lonely.

"Why do didn't done it year ago.?" Teagen ask

"I try but she always didn't want to say anything...i just...want ro help her..." He hate that he admitted of hjow he felt...

Teagen smile softly. " That nice of you Shrimpo..." She place a hand on his shoulder.

"Anything you want to share you can find us." Astro say as he did the same but with his magic. Shrimpo felt better that after a long time he couldn't trust some toons about that he have noticed over the year...never the lest him and Astro stay a little longer just chatting with Teagen with both Teagen and Astro really like that side of Shrimpo to just be calm..

After a while they left say there goodbye to Teagen. When they exit her room shrimpo was about to ho to his romm since it was near night as it was 20:51pm with the meeting was around 1  and haft hour and the rest 30 minute after Tisha left, be them just chatting.

"Hey Shrimpo." Astro say as Shrimpo tuen to see him.

"What is it moonhead?"

"Well...if you need anything..from something to share or to get sowm comfort im here." Astro say as he smile.

Shrimpo nod at what he say. "I will think about it...but don't worry i will come if i need it." And then he left gping to his room.

Astro when short after to his room and lay down on his bed...it was nice that finally he can help his friend and he wasn't the only one who noticed her behaviour...he was happy and he start to way for others to sleep so he van give them peaceful dreams.

Chapter 5: The start of a warm up.

Summary:

After the meeting of the 4 of them they start little to little to help Shelly to turn back to her cheerful and Energetic old self she has… a month past since the plan start. Shelly was returning back to her room to fund a surprising guess waiting for her and have a wonderful time.

Notes:

Soooo…it been..a while , 2 months?😬…
Anyway, well I’m back I finally found a free time… soooooo…back to work…well not exactly but between that.. anywho I really want to write the 5th chapter but high school and exam for the second half, school projects is very crazy….
But that okay, I won’t abandon my fanfic like that. ^^

The plan have start around some days later around Wednesday and Thursday, Tisha be around hee friend to make her company and chaat for the hole Thursday since they didn’t have runs this day. She help her clean her floor and tidy up some fossil and other dinosaurs bones the floor has. Tisha really want to see her friend happy and cheerful again. 

“Hey Shelly..” Tisha ask her as she turn her attention to her friend.

”Yea?”

”Would you like to say some of your dinosaurs facts, since is been a while since I have heard some of them..” Tisha smile looking at her. Shelly was puzzled by her request and kinda felt a wave of excitement.

”Really?” Shelly ask not exacting nor sadness. She was just surprised.

”Hea.. I did mind listening to some of your dinosaurs facts while cleaning your floor.” She smile at her, cut her in surprise. She thought about it for a while, thinking. Eventually she sing and turn around facing Tisha again.

”I mean.. some facts about dinosaurs would hurt…right?” Shelly smile genuinely, which Tisha miss see this on her.

Later that day the run of the day have finished as Astro was going back to the main’s floor (yes..I changed that part, I think is much better for all the types of toon to have the separate floors. To go there, there is a floor where all the toon can hang out, in this floor their is a elevator a little smaller that the regular massive elevator they have, Is much easier for the toon to get faster on there floors, example.. the common toons like Poppy, Cosmo, Tisha etc, are in the common’s floor, same with uncommon, rare and main. Sometimes they use the stairs to go down to the others toons floor instead of using the elevator, like what Astro did in the previous chapter rising to go to Teagan’s room.) He walk to the small living room they have to just lay there if they want, they was a small straight area for cooking, which Sprout use most of the times, or if they want to get something fast to eat or to drink they could get it from the fridge, all the floor’s rooms have something similar to them especially the main hang out floor under all the room floors.

He lay down on the sofa exhausted for the run he have, the second run and tomorrow he have another deep exhaust sighing he let out, turning  around look at the ceiling tired. He thought of his meeting he have some days ago, try to find a great way to approach Shelly, he could do it now but he want to see the other three to do something first before he act.

Astro sit up of ideas he have but he was more tired, it was still early afternoon soo he went to his room to get some sleep, to get ready for the night.

————————————

 

Some weeks pass, Tisha and Teagen started to help Shelly more often now, Shelly didn’t mind at all, be alone for so any years, it was something she miss but she still didn’t felt happy…

It was Saturday night. Now be in mid October, (between 12-18th) have entered ones again toon have start to make some decorations around the Gardenview Connie be the enjoyer and her fav season of this month finally be there, she was already ready and preparing herself for the big day. It was 21:23pm, Shelly was on her floor watching some of her old episodes she was in missing this old days but she will still be ignored..

She turn off her projector, standing up and walking to the elevator going to the lobby. It was dark but the circle glass ceiling above the tree area was making the lobby bright under the night sky of the bright moon and stars. Going to see if Dandy have put the run for the next week, which he did. She walk to the board to check and see the following runs. Seeing that she wasn’t on any run didn’t mind to take a break, but she wasn’t the only one who haven’t run the next week. Shrimpo, Astro, Goob, Poppy and RnD been in the spot of, ‘The will not participate on this week runs’ She walk away going to the elevator going up to the hang out floor to check if anyone was there.

She wait for a little time, when the elevator stop, the massive metallic door opened to reveal the dark hallway for the floor. She walk of the large elevator and when to the smaller elevator going to the main’s floor. Exit it meeting again the darkness of the hallway. She didn’t mind as she continues walking on the small living room-kitchen area to check. She guess it would be no one their, she open the fridge to get something to drink and sit on the sofa and open her flip phone and just look at some think before closing it and just relax on the sofa.

It was exactly 22:00pm, Shelly stand up and start walking to hee room which was the farthest room of the others. Be near Vee’s and Sprout’s rooms still be far away. She walk, but suddenly she noticed a dark figure sitting down on the floor near her room.She got puzzled of that, getting close to see better. More close she get more some small differences could notice better, turn out after she open her phone flashlight she was surprised see if there.

”Shrimpo?” She ask surprise and shock see him down on the floor. Shrimpo open his eyes to see her, he stand up rubbing his hand on his eyes and look at her. “What are you doing here? And on this time?”

Shrimpo didn’t answer her question but did gave her a some explanation.

”I was just waiting for you to talk..you know since we say hi once in a while, I didn’t mind hanging with you.” He puzzled before continuing what he was saying. “I thought you didn’t hear and I just wait and ones I a while a knock still waiting…and here we are.”

Shelly was stand of what he say…she didn’t know why but felt bad.. “you want to hang out for a little bit?” She ask nervously and a little tired.

Shrimpo didn’t say anything and just nod, who she relieved. She unlocked her frond door and open it letting shrimpo get on her room.

Her room was a light sand yellow colour on the walls of her room with a dark brown wooden floor as some of it detail, her room. Her bed was a little and soft yellow colour blanket with white pillows with 2 of her plushies be on top of her bed. She have a bookshelf half sells have book about dinosaurs and about the ancient times and other half sells have bones, fossils, some ammonite and figures payed by clay. Her Dark brown wooden desk she has there having on top of it some clean paper in the side of it, with a pencil case that have some pencils, pens, a small rules with one scissors, some colour markers in, she also have put her flip phone on her bedside table. The chair looks a little more modern, (talk about 2008’s modern chair) and comfortable.

She lay on her bed while he took her chair and sit there, they stay in silence. Since their first interaction in the rooftop they were chatting some time to time but not much. Shrimpo break first the awkward silence they have.

”How have you been lately, you have been a little more calm that our first interaction after for a year?” He say turning to look at her as she did the same, her elbow giving her balance to stand only her chest up.

”yea..it going fine, quiet and calm.” Saying calmly.

“But you still have eyes bags under you eyes.” He point out smirking holding his laugh out. Shelly roll her eyes a little annoyed.

”yea..yea…I still have, it will definitely take a while before I sleep normally again…” Saying chuckles awkwardly.”anyway do you want to chat more before you leave?”

“. . .”

”Sure..why not” he answers after a while.

 

———————————

 

They where chatting for random stuff for a little while now, Shelly felt happy having another person talk to her..she start to felt better of the feeling that have got gone for years but still, she couldn’t feel it fully but she could fell something…but it was very small.

They talk, and talk she excuse herself to go to her bathroom that she have on her room, (All toons rooms have a bathroom °-°) She change her casual clothes to put her dinosaurs pyjamas on, she exit her bathroom and lay down again on her bed and start chatting with him.

It was 00:32am still talking, but Shelly was starting to drift to a sleep still talking to Shrimpo, Shrimpo noticed that she went to sleep after 5 or 7 minutes later. He sigh calmly, putting her chair back to the place, he turn to Shelly who she was sleeping so peacefully that start to melt a little his heart but he shake this feeling immediately, he turn back to her, he place her blanket on top of her and giving her one of her plush to hug on, he smile before patting her shell and walking slowly to exit her room, closing the light and closing the door.

As he was down the hallway he stop of Astro’s room. Shrimpo though for a while and knock on his door. He wait a little but before Astro opening his door and be surprised to see.

”Shrimpo!..what are you doing here?” Astro ask with his quiet and calmly voice he has ask the toon inforn of him.

”Can I talk to you for a sec?” He ask, as Astro allows shrimpo going in.

”So Shrimpo, did something happen?” He ask 

“. . . Well can you make a very peaceful dream for Shelly… a happy one. With dinosaurs.” He ask nervously surprising Astro.

”Well I can do it..but do you want it for an other reason?”

Shrimpo stay quiet.

”Shrimpo?”

”. . .”

”You really care about her do you?” He finally say making Shrimpo surprise him

”Well..wh-why…you care?”

”Because Shrimpo, I can see that deep down in you, you care for some other toons…” Astro saying smile at him. “If you didn’t care at all, you wouldn’t ask me to make a dram for Shelly.. or even be here.”

Saying this make Shrimpo to think of it a little better. It have last one month and some days, since the meeting they have, he did enjoy that time talking to toon that can actually listen to your project that will care and to everything to make the others feel better. Shrimpo was silent..

”You know what…” he say, Astro looking at him curious. “You Right…maybe I do need to relax..and maybe just..maybe could express how I feel.” Shrimpo finish. Astro smile of his talk and pull out one of his hand out of the blanket and rub his shrimp head.

”I happy that you came to this discussion, Shrimpo.” Looking at Astro surprise of his comfor he gave to him.. he thought he didn’t deserve this kind of attention but it didn’t felt bad…”Go now.. rest well shrimpo, don’t worry about Shelly’s dream. It on good hands”

Shrimpo smile as he was going to leave before stopping by Astro once again “Aslo…if you want to share anything my door will be always open, oki?”

“Oki.” He say nodded on him, he smile softly and wave a goodbye to shrimpo as he close his door, going back to check on others toons dreams

As for shrimpo.

When he came back to his room he lay immediately on his bed only taking of his t-shirt and shoes, he thought about more of there conversation they have with Astro, decided it was time to spend more time with her. He smile as he drift to sleep.
