When the jester was away, the illusionist had time to play. The room was his to envision, the world was his to imagine. Because of his freedom, Astro Man let himself dream. He dreamed of an old, rustic town, one where the situation was bright and merry; a village festival! He envisioned himself as a young child, one with bright ginger hair and curious, green eyes. The Wilybot let himself roam his fantasy world, grinning wide.
People on the streets were selling various goods, some antiques and some treats of all flavors. The boy began to see the village folk gather in the center of town; people were beginning to dance! How he wish he could dance.. Even out of his illusion, he could not dance, from the lack of a bottom half, you see. He watched with a saddened expression as the music roared to life, the joyous laughter of the local folk echoing out into the mid day sun.
A tug on his arm. The ginger headed boy looked to his left. It was the village feline lover, scarf around her neck, her cerulean eyes aglow with joy. Gosh, she sure was pretty. The girl guided him along, towards the village square, long, chocolate tinted hair flowing in the wind. Her feet were bare, just like his, except not as battered. Astro felt his cheeks grow hot and tint some as she whisked him along, the girl's laughter making itself heard over the rest.
The music kicked up. With a jerk of his hands, the feline fan twirled him about, hair swirling about with festive luster. A squeak emitted from the boy; he didn't know how to dance! Instead, he copied her movements, their feet tapping against the concrete in perfect rhythm. Is this what dancing was like? Her bright blue eyes never took themselves away from his olive ones, and he never looked away.
Laughter increased as people began to step away from the center, leaving only them to dance. The crowd moved in a wide circle around them, the two dancing children twirling counter-clockwise to them. Once the music ceased, he then realized they were the only two aflutter. The girl gave a smile, letting go of his weary hands.
"That was really fun," she giggled, hands at her sides. He nodded, smiling as well. "What's your name? I'm Sophie."
That was the only sentence he got to say, as Clowny opened the door, canceling his illusion. Astro drew his hands up, looking at his younger brother, completely embarrassed. The jester was in fluffy, colorful pajamas, looking him in the optics. He did not look happy.
"..Its two in the mornin' man. Get some sleep." With that, 060 padded out of the room, slamming the door. His angry muttering echoed for a while, until it completely ceased.
The illusionist looked out the window slowly, still thinking of his happily created dream. His hands seemed to grasp air. Once he realized that reality was back to stay, he meekly sighed, reminiscing a little.
The only question was, why did he dream up a girl named Sophie..?
