RP:The Ochanimizu Files; Tenma's Therapy Sessions

[Prettywitchiusaka]

O; Of course.

Tenma just merely sighs

T; You're much to modest O'Shay...

O; For simply wanting to help you?

T; I just can't imagiene why someone like you would be so forgiving?

[Astro Forever]

O'Shay: Someone like me? What do you mean?

Tenma: You have no reason to forgive me. You can just keep working and living your life as if nothing happened. You got what you wanted!

O'Shay: There's always something to wish for, something that I can work on to make the world better, and I believe you can, too.

[Prettywitchiusaka]

Tenma just merely glances away from O'Shay

T; I suppose you're right...

O'Shay can only chuckle at this

O; Now you're just being stubborn, not that's anything new for you.

Tenma's gaze is still clearly away from O'Shay's as he hears this

[Apple Jack]

(Mind if i join in) There was a long pause Tenma finnaly said Tenma: y-yes it is the reason i guess it is no wait it is the reason Oshay: Would you like me to explain this to Astro? Mabye he will think of you difforently. Tenma: yes i would love that Oshay thank you Oshay: no problem

[Prettywitchiusaka]

(Three months have now passed)

(Boxes are scattered all over the family room of Tenma's house. He has goign through old boxes since early that morning, trying to figure out what he should and shouldn't keep. To his amusement though, he seemed to have more in the keep pile than in the chuck pile)

(Suddenly, there's a knock at the door. Getting up, he walks over to the door. When he opens it, he finds a surprise staring right in front of him; it's Astro and Dr. O'Shay)

[Astro Forever]

Astro was beaming. He couldn't help thinking how different it felt in comparison wish his last visit to the house.

O'Shay: "Hello Umataro... wow, there is a lot of activity going on here!"

Astro started to look at the objects in the piles, and noticed a few of Tobio's old belongings. Tenma didn't notice.

Tenma: "I guess... this is what happens when one decides to move after such a long time!"

[Prettywitchiusaka]

A; (laughs) I know. Do you mind if I help you sort through your belongings?

T; Of course. Did Zoran not come with you?

A; Well...she was going to come...but she's kind of busy doing something else...

(Meanwhile, Zoran is sitting in the front seat of Shunsaku Ban's car)

Z; Oh, boy this is so exciting! It's my second time solving a caper with you Mr. Ban. I just hope we don't need Astro's help this time, I'd sure like to save teh day ALL by myself...with your help of course-

SB; Kid, slow down! I can't hear myself think.

Z; Oh...sorry...

(Back at Tenma's residence)

O; Anyway, that's a great idea Astro. Why don't you get started? I'd like to talk with Umatarou in private for awhile.

A; Okay.

(Happily, he runs into the house, leaving the two men alone on the porch)

[Astro Forever]

O'Shay: "Well, how do you feel about the move?"

Tenma: "Hmmm... that supervised house doesn't exacly delight me, but it sure will be nicer than that depressing hospital room..."

O'Shay: "You won't be keeping all of this stuff? Where will you put it?"

Tenma: "Oh, I'll just rent a locker. There is some stuff that is just too difficult to... throw away... even if I don't even want to really look at it anymore..."

[Prettywitchiusaka]

O; Anything your family touched, I guess. Right?

T; (chuckles) Well, I wouldn't exactly put it like that. Now, would you mind making yourself comfortable? I'd rather be comfortable if you're going to pick my brain.

O; Of ocurse.

(The two men walk in, and notice Astro diggin through an old box with tons of photos in it)

[Astro Forever]

Astro started looking at pictures of Hoshie. He seemed a little puzzled. He looked at Tenma.

Tenma: "This woman meant a lot to me, you know..."

Astro: "It's the first time I hear you mention her... Why didn't you do it before then? I would have understood..."
