Well in my series of fan fics with Atlas Boy their relationship is a friendly yet contested rivalry of the Yin/Yang type. Atlas tries to show Astro the error of being too human friendly and Astro tries to teach Atlas the opposite. They have very few angry scraps but when they do they usually beat each other into absurdity and end up gobbling ice cream.
Astro hovered a few hundred feet above the glacier and switched on his multi-spectral surveyor lenses. What is this thing doing? Digging holes to hide in?
Astro flew a few yards, looked around, flew a few more yards and looked again. He was starting to get a little frustrated when a snapping sound came from no where and a tentacle whipped around one of his boots!
Ah hah! Found you! EEEEAAAAHHHHHH! The tentacle whipped about and crashed Astro into the ice with a shattering cloud of snow!
Ugh! Hey Atlas?! I found him! Astro yelled as he started running around the ice being chased by the Nankachomp. How about some help!!
You can handle him cant you? Atlas replied almost giggling. The computer says talk to it by name and itll listen to you!
Astro skipped and jumped over a swinging tentacle and limbo dodged a second. Alright! Whats the name?!!
Uh
. Atlas paused. Sounds like Kowinashighashinikoumigawa!!
WHAT!! Astro screamed as he flipped over the alien animals head and tried to pull the explosive warhead from a clawed had. UGH!! I CANT EVEN UNDERSTAND IT!!
And I thought you were smart? Atlas joked.
Astro punched the claw, ripped the warhead out of it and threw it just as the alien animal gripped a leg and slammed Astro into the ice. UGH!! BAD PET!! BAD PET!! IM NOT A CHEW TOY!!
Back at the space ship, Atlas was callously laughing and rolling on the floor as the computer translators probe poked him in the shoulder. Your friend needs help! How can you be so thoughtless?!
Atlas sat up. Hes in no danger! Besides, itll be a good lesson for the big mouth goody goody. He needs a little toughening around the edges.
Astro struggled viciously against the tentacles and found himself spinning through the air end over end into another crash against a steep vertical ice face. That was enough
The boy bot stomped over the glacier floor with the most upset and angry look on his face and stopped to scream so loud that the ice at his feet cracked!
IVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!! IF YOU DONT SIT ILL
.ILL SEND YOU TO YOUR ROOM WITHOUT DINNER!!
Astros eyes blinked with a sudden realization. Now that was the most stupid thing I could have said. He said to himself. But it seemed to suddenly work. The Nankachomp whined as loud as a jet and slumped on the ice floor whimpering.
Awwwww
I didnt mean it. Astro said smiling. Youre not as mean as I thought.
The Alien Ship
Atlas sat on the floor trying to keep the little alien amused with some sort of gooish looking blob he found in an improvised toy box when Astro called him from the outside. The red boy bot walked out to see Astro sitting on the back of the Nankachomp.
You tamed him! Youre better than I expected. Atlas said sarcastically as Astro slipped off the back.
Just have to tell him whos the boss thats all. Astro said confidently. It didnt last when the Nanakachomp snatched him up and slammed him back onto the ice again.
Uh
.hello boss? Atlas said giggling.
Ugh!!...What about the ship?! Astro said as he shook his head.
Atlas pointed back. I fixed it. But I had to pull some parts from my own rocket motors so I cant fly.
A blessing for the rest of us! Astro replied smirking.
