(DONT JUMP ME PLS- also their interaction is based on Ryoba and Jokichi's!(are they...?))

Akademi High School, 1999 (?). It’s late afternoon, and the sun casts a golden glow over the school rooftop. Dandicus Dancifer (Dandy) and Astro Novalite stand together, alone...

You're Astro, buddy.

Astro: Leaning on the railing, sighing "Man… I feel like I’m being watched all the time. It’s kinda creeping me out, you know?"

Dandy: Tilting his head, smiling sweetly "Oh ? That’s strange. Who would want to watch you, Astro ?"

Astro: Shrugging "I dunno. Maybe I’m just paranoid. I swear, every time I try to talk to a girl, something weird happens. Either she stops coming to school, transfers, or- worse..."

Dandy: Stepping closer, voice soft "Maybe it’s fate… Maybe the universe is telling you that you don’t need anyone else."

Astro: Laughs nervously "Yeah, right. Or maybe someone’s playing a really messed-up prank."

Dandy: Giggles, brushing a lock of his white hair behind his ear "Prank ? No, no, Astro… I think someone just wants to make sure you're safe."

Astro: Raises an eyebrow "Safe from what ?"

Dandy: Looking up at him, his eyes sharp yet filled with devotion "From making the wrong choice."

Astro: Uneasy, but tries to shake it off with a chuckle "You sure say some weird stuff, Dandy…"

Dandy: Taking his hand gently, his voice smooth as silk "I only say what’s necessary. You trust me… don’t you, Astro ?"

Astro: Blushes slightly, looking away "I mean… yeah, I guess. You’re one of the only people I feel comfortable around."

Dandy: Smiles, but his grip tightens just a little too much "Good. Then… you don’t need to think about anyone else. Just... Nevermind..."
