Twisted Astro was roaming a floor by himself.. or he thought he was, there were also Rnd and Rodger, but they couldn't even roam in the first place..
Astro had also heard some noises, like eating, shuffling, and noises on the ceiling, but he just thought he was imagining it.
Astro roamed around the map until he heard one of those noises that he heard before right above him.
Astro looked up at the ceiling, seeing a interesting sight.. It was the toon, well, twisted now, Squirm.
He must had fallen to the ichor a floor above.. Poor him.
Astro and him were freinds. Close freinds actually. Squirm was always eating books, so that probably explained the eating noises.
Squirm suddenly lunged at Astro with a loud screech, grabbing him with his sharp, ichory claws. Astro had to shake him off, as he did, Squirm retracted into the ceiling.
Astro stared up at it, then went off to roaming again..
That was weird, wasn't it? And it got even weirder when he caught glimpses of Squirm following him.
That was, until he had enough, Astro confronted the other twisted.. But sadly he couldn't talk, he could only make noises.. So, he just looked at the twisted with a confused, stern, look. If that makes any sense.
Squirm squeaked when Astro had confronted him, starting to crawl back into the ceiling until he heard Astro's hum of disapproval. Squirm stared at the Moon, he had his arms crossed, then shook his head.
Squirm stared at the moon for a few seconds, then lunging at him again, this time not attacking.
Squirm opened his mouth.. "I.. want- to stay.." Squirm coughed out ichor, then pointing at the moon.
Astro was surprised that Squirm could talk in this state.. But nevermind that.. Squirm wanted to stay with him..?
Astro nodded, Squirm let out a squeak in slight happiness, wrapping his arms around the moon.
~~~
Then from now on, they stayed together, roaming around the map. Sometimes Squirm would dissappear for a little, but Astro didn't mind.
It had always been lonely when he roamed around, but not anymore.
He had Squirm by his side..
End..
