you had loved Astro for as long as you'd known. Since the time of the Dinosaurs, pterodactyl, tyrannosaurs, when there wasn't even the bicycle, nor the velotrol, nor the motorcycle (even if you two weren't even created then).

you'd tried hinting to him. Subtle flirts, helping him with tasks, complimenting him, etc etc.. but he thought all of this was just out of the kindness of your heart!! It may have been, but don't just throw it under the rug!

this is why, right now, you're standing in Astros large ass "room" (that looked more like a small space museum) looking for the moon toon with a plan to FINALLY tell him EXACTLY how you feel.
