Another Oneshot Series, I'm sooo happy XD

So my original story, inspired my Chell101, was commented on by a guest, and this guest apparently is not a fan of the Astro x Cora ship, so I remade the story, this time without the pairing, enjoy!

After the Peacekeeper Incident, Cora, Zane, Widget, and Sludge had decided to be with their friend and go to Astro's school with him. Widget and Sludge are in Grade 5, and Cora, Zane, and Astro are in Grade 9. Ever since then it's been nothing but fun.

One fine day, Cora, Astro, Zane, and the twins were waiting in the school grounds for the bell to ring. They heard a tired, "Hey, guys," From somewhere. They turned to face the speaker, which happened to be Astro walking towards his friends.

"What happened to you?" Zane asked, making space for Astro between the twins and him on the picnic table they were sitting at.

"I was out trying to track down a lost kid until late at night, maybe 11? Then I had to finish my English essay, the one due today. I was up until two at night!" Astro held up two fingers in front of Zane's face to emphasize his point.

"If you wake up at seven every morning... umm 6 hours of sleep. That's good right?"

"5 hours, Zane." Cora said from the side, "How you ace math is a mystery." The twins laughed.

"Nope." Astro replied. "I got an alert at 5 in the morning that there was some fire I had to help out with."

"So... 3?" Zane said. Cora and the twins clapped. Zane looked at them in confusion.

"What?" Zane asked.

"You did it right." Widget replied.

"Congratulations." Sludge commented.

They all laughed at that.

"So, 3 hours of sleep and I need a rest sometimes, even though I'm not even human." Astro said.

"Good luck getting through the day." Cora said, then she faced Zane, "So what did you write about in your essay? Or did you not finish it?"

"I finished it." Zane said proudly.

"Whoa, that's two amazing things in one day!" Widget said.

"Hey, I was going to say that!" Sludge argued. The twins started a fight with each other, but Cora and Zane ignored them.

"Are you sure you didn't cheat?" Cora asked.

"No." Zane replied a bit too fast. Cora stared at him long and hard... until "Fine! Yes I did, I said stuff and the computer spelled it for me." Zane burst out. Cora looked satisfied. From the side, the twins had stopped fighting and instead were glaring daggers at each other.

"I actually did write." Cora said while Zane looked completely defeated.

Then, all of a sudden a very soft snore was heard, and it would have been completely missed if the twins were still making noise. Everyone froze and looked in Astro's direction. He was sound asleep, his head resting on the table.

"Astro?" Widget asked. All she got in reply was another snore. Sludge reached over and poked Astro's forehead. Nothing.

"So you didn't get through the day." Zane commented.

"Didn't even start and you're asleep." Cora added

"Don't worry, he's pulled many all – nighters before, and I know exactly how to wake him up" Zane said smugly. The other three watched.

Zane thought for a second, took a deep breath, got close to Astro's ear and yelled, "ASTRO! THE SCHOOL'S ON FIRE!"

Zane was surprised, however, when a few onlookers started watching as Astro said, "Not my problem, call the police or the fire department." With his eyes still closed and went back to sleeping shortly later. Cora, Widget, and Sludge were watching in amusement.

"Fine! If that's how it is..." Zane took a deep breath and hollered, "ASTRO! YOUR ESSAY'S GONE!" Right into his robotic friend's ear.

"No it's not." Astro said with his eyes still closed.

"Yeah it is." Zane shot back.

A snore was his reply, and the onlookers laughed.

Zane cupped his hands around his mouth, took a huge breath, and yelled as loud as he possibly could into Astro's ear, "ASTRO! A HUGE ROBOT HAS THE TWINS CAPTIVE!"

The twins looked at each other and nearly burst out laughing, it was all they could do to keep it in.

"They're strong kids, they'll survive until the police come, assuming you called them like I asked you to." The twins couldn't hold it in. They fell over their chairs in laughter, and Cora nearly did too. Zane's face turned red in embarrassment.

Once the laughter died down, Sludge got off the ground and cracked his knuckles and said, "Watch how the pro does it."

Sludge took a seat directly next to Astro and casually said, "Hey, Astro, Physics class started 15 minutes ago."

The effect was instantaneous. Astro's head snapped up as he yelled, "WHAT?!" Unfortunately he had also ignited his rocket boots by accident, sending him into a midair backflip and he landed on his face in the grass. Basically everyone was laughing by now, and Sludge gave a "That's how it's done" look to Zane, and Zane's jaw nearly hit the ground in shock.

The four watched Astro get up off the ground with some help from his rockets, and walk to his friends.

"Well, at least you're awake now." Widget said.

"Yeah, I'm not going to forgive you for that soon." Astro said, pointing at Sludge. The crowd of onlookers dissipated as Cora told Astro, "Take a break today. I'll take care of getting your homework to you, since Zane here is too pissed because he overestimated himself."

"Are you sure? We have Physics today..." Astro trailed off.

"You don't, Astro, we were messing with you." Widget said.

"Okay then... I'll be at home, see all of you tomorrow." Astro said, and after a wave goodbye he shot up into the sky to go home.

As Astro's friends watched him go, and when he was out of sight, Zane said, "Wait, today's a Thursday, we do have Physics today."

"Yeah, I know," Widget said, "He had to go home to rest. Wasn't going to last an hour in that state. I was doing him a favor, actually."

The bell rang and the four friends went inside for class.

I think it turned out funnier than the previous one, which I'm going to add here for everyone's convenience later, but it's available on my account for those who have time in their busy day to take a glance at another one of my awful stories ;D (jk... i think) Until next time.
