You and Dandy had been best friends since creation. Your creators, Arthur and Delilah, had intended for you to be more of a 'lone wolf' character...But Dandy seemed to have had other plans. You two did everything together! Went to prank other Toons, took his dog, Pebble, on walks, and stole employee's lunches.
You were inseparable, and always there for each-other. When you got self-conscious about your four arms, or someone insulted you, he was there in an instant, with a cup of hot-chocolate. And when his eyes lost that optimistic, child-like sparkle, you would weave tales of adventure and friendship before his eyes.
There wasn't a mountain high enough, a valley low enough, or a river wide enough to separate you two...At least, that's what you thought.
...Gardenview's closing took a toll on every Toon. Especially Dandy. You'd wanted to talk to him about it...But the Ichor Operation happened too fast. Toons were infected by this 'Ichor' substance, which would turn them monstrous. Twisted.
People started trying to fix it. No one knew how it had happened...But you'd seen Dandy's hooded eyes. He knew something you didn't.
...So you approached him. Walking into his room, you hummed sleepily...When you spotted him fidgeting with a capsule of...something.
Ichor.
When he noticed you, his pupils contracted in fear.
"Oh, heya, Astro!--"
You snatched a paper from his desk. Skimming over it, your eyes widened in horror. Written on it were journal entries. From him. About how he'd turned others into Twisteds.
You stared at him in horror.
"...It's not what it looks like?.." Dandy tried.
