Cosmo was in Astros room, Cosmo was coloring on the floor near Astros bed as his ear perk up. They could hear the elevator ding, as it opened they heard Sprout “Im back! I got what you asked for!” Cosmo running towards him with a smile on his face and his tail wagging, as he shows Sprout what he drew while he was gone. “Wow bud, thats really good!” Sprout said while bending over to take a closer look with the bag in his hand. Astro slowly started to walk over after hopping off his bed, “Hey starlight, did I wake you?” Sprout apoligizing as Astro shook his head yes. Sprout picked up Astro and held Cosmos hand as they walked back over to Astros bed and the blankets and toys on the floor from Cos. Sprout put the moon boy down on his bed and his other little let go of his hand and sprinted over to his little pile of blankets and pillows. Spout walked over and asked a little Cosmo “Do you know where your paci is bubu?” with a bit of a hushed tone, as Cosmo went through his stuff to find it Sprout opened his bag. He had gon to the store to buy the boys some food and snacks but he had also bought Astro some yarn for when he was big again and had taken this as an opportunity to buy them some little stuff too. Sprout pulled out a plush dog for Cosmo, his face lighting up as he did grabby hands dropping his paci he just found. Spout gave it to him as he bent down to grab his blue paci to wash it off for him. “Puppy, do you like it?” he asked, Cosmos tail wagging as he squeezed the toy in a tight hug. He took out Astros yarn and put it in his box with the rest of it while walking closer to the elevator to put down the bag with 2 new sippy cups, their snacks, and new crayons for when Cosmo goes and breaks his or eats them. Cosmo tails after his caregiver as they both go in the elevator to wash off his paci in the kitchen.
When they enter the kitchen Sprout sees Dandy reading a book with Brightney in dim lighting. Brightney greets them with a smile as the beads on her glasses rattle. Dandy pushing his up closer to his face. The lower half of Cosmos face snuggled into his dog plush walks over to where they are sitting in the restaurant as Sprout walks to the kitchen. Dandy only looked at Cos as he walked over then turned back to his book, Brightney started talking to Cosmo about what she was reading (talking in simple terms of course). She could tell Cosmo didn’t entirely understand everything she was saying, but still he seemed interested so she kept talking. Dandy budded into her onesideed conversation with Cosmo to also talk about the book he was reading. Sprout listened in on what they were saying, sitting down with a bowl of cereal to eat nearby. The elevator door dings as he sees Shrimpo storm out, not im his typically angry way but you can tell he was sleepy. He went to the kitchen, grabbed the open milk (which was about half full) and chugged it before heading back down to his room level. Sprout quickly finished his cereal before washing his dishes (including the paci) and throwing out the gallon of milk Shrimpo finished. “You ready for bed sweetheart?” Sprout asked the little Cosmo who was sitting in a chair listening to Brightney. She looked at him with a smile and a caring voice saying “I think its bedtime, little one” before looking back up at Sprout who picked him up. Still cuddling the dog plush, Cosmo nuzzled into Sprouts neck as his paci went into his mouth. The others exchanged good nights as they went towards the elevator again.
