RPG-The Hoshie Files; Have we met before?

[Prettywitchiusaka]

H; I'm Hoshie Yuriko. I didn't really save Astro; I tried, but I got berated by the police.

Z; You tried to save my brother? Wow! You must be really brave to do something like that!

H; Oh, I wouldn't say that, uh...

Z; Zoran.

H; Zoran? Wait, is this the little sister you were telling me about!?

(Astro nods)

H; Oh! She's even cuter than I imagiened!

Z; Really?... Well, I do try to keep myself in tip-top shape.

(O'Shay comes over to Hoshie, she remains silent as her gaze remains on him)

O; Um, hello Miss Hoshie. Uh, this might seem a bit odd of me to ask, but have we met somewhere before?

[Astro Forever]

Hoshie: I had the great honor of meeting the renown scientist that you are, years ago. But I don't think you could remember me, I was not an important person...

O'Shay: But aren't you...

Hoshie made a sign with her hand to interrupt him. She looked at Astro. O'Shay understood she didn't want to talk about that in front of him.

O'Shay: We should meet, so I could thank you properly.

Zoran: Oh yes, I want to meet you!!!

Astro smiled. He liked the idea.

Hoshie: It may be perhaps a little bit too soon, but I'm sure soon we will have this opportunity!

O'Shay was disappointed... he had so many questions in mind!

[AprilSeven]

I've just got to say, you two are GREAT at RP!!! You could write a book together!!!

[Astro Forever]

I had not realized anybody was actually following us!

Thank you! You are excellent too, April, from what I remember!

I have to say that Prettywitchiusaka does an excellent job with the set up!

[Prettywitchiusaka]

Really? Well, thank you Forever. It just comes naturally, I guess.

Thanks April. Feel free to join in if you want.

Astro smiles at her, before he sees a flash of a mysterious woman in silhouette race through his mind.

O;Astro? Astro?

Astro hears his name being called, and snaps out of his flashback

O; Astro, are you okay?

A; What? Oh, I'm fine Doctor-

He winces again

O; Oh, you hurt your arm, didn't you?

Astro just nods

O; Well, let's go upstairs and I'll patch it up for you.

H; Actually, I told Astro that I'd repair his arm for him.

Z & O; You're going to repair it?

Hoshie just smiles sweetly

Later, Hoshie is just finishing up the wleding on Astro's arm

H; There you go; good as new. Just don't move your ar around too much for the next half hour.

A; okay; thanks Hoshie.

H; Don't mention it.

O; (begins to examine her handy work) This is incredible.

H; Oh not really. To be honest, it's not all that different from practicioner's work.

Z; You're a nurse practioner? That must be so cool! You get to stay home, and flex your own hourse, and...

A; But, how do you know so much about robotic engineering?

H; Oh, my husband taught me a thing or two.

A & Z; You're husband?

A; You're husband's a robotic engineer. That's great! I'd love to meet him.

Hoshie suddenly becomes very sad hearing this comment

H; I'm don't know about that Astro...To be honest...I don't even know where he is right now...

[Astro Forever]

Zoran: Really? Oh that's too bad...

Astro: Perhaps we could help you find him? What does he look like? What's his name?

Hoshie was confused... Somebody unexpectedly went to her rescue.

O'Shay: Astro, you need to come to the ministry soon, you may find yourself very busy once again in a short time!

Astro: Oh, I see... Do you think you could help Hoshie then?

O'Shay: I'll see what I can do... Come to see me for the moment.

Astro left. Zoran announced she would be waiting for him outside. O'Shay and Hoshie remained alone.

O'Shay: Thank you very much for your help... wouldn't you be... I mean, you must know of Dr. Tenma...?

[Prettywitchiusaka]

Hoshie stands there silent for a moment, before breathing a deep sigh

H; I guess this was bound to happen sooner or later...wasn't it?...

O; So you are Hoshie Tenma...But then why keep this a secret from Astro?

H; He didn't recognize me...If he doesn't remember who I am, then what's the point in having him know that we share a history.

O'Shay is surprised by this at first.

O; So, you just want Astro to live a normal, happy life?

H; Yes.

O'Shay breathes a sigh of releif

O; Oh good; it's nice to know someone else wants the same thing I want for Astro.

H; Because of what Tarou-chan is doing, you mean?

O; Well, yes...But-Tarou-chan?

[Astro Forever]

Tarou-chan = Tenma?

[Prettywitchiusaka]

Yeap.

H: Yes. Thats what I called my husband.

OShay laughs

O: I see.

OShay continues to laugh, much to Hoshies annoyance
H: If you're quite done.

O: (begins to catch his breath) You're right...I'm sorry...

O'Shay finally calms down

[Astro Forever]

(Thanks! I'd totally forgotten his first name, and couldn't remember having ever seen that nickname, although you may have used it in your fanfic! I love how you incorporated the answer in the RP! )

O'Shay: I've been very worried about your husband, and yourself... I had not seen you in ages! How is Tenma doing?

Hoshie: Hmmm... well. In his mind, he is doing everything right. But I am worried for Tob..., I mean Astro.

O'Shay: He still thinks of him very much?

Hoshie: If you only knew... Astro is his.

O'Shay: He let him down!

Hoshie: I know, but he's been very impressed with his progress. You've done a great job!

O'Shay: Thank you very much, I am honored to hear that, especially coming from you.

Hoshie: He believes Astro has not fulfilled his potential.

O'Shay: How could he do more?
