Star

Once again, Delilah called you for your weekly photoshoot for the soft drink brand you model and are the mascot for, 'Pop'. Another day surrounded by cameras and bright lights. It was strange, but you figured it was also kind of cool, since you could feel like a total pro during those brief moments of the day.

At one point, while the cameramen were snapping photos of you, you glanced away, a mixture of boredom and curiosity in your eyes. You were slightly surprised to see Astro peeking through the door. Despite his discomfort and shyness in front of the cameras, he couldn't help but be fascinated by you and your courage. You smiled with pride and genuine happiness before turning back to the cameras and posing. You decided not to draw his attention so as not to overwhelm him.

Once Delilah gave you permission to return to the main halls of Gardenview, you could see Astro approaching you from a distance. You greeted him with your usual friendly energy, and he waved back. Astro was a little nervous, as he often is. Especially with you, a Toon he doesn't really talk to every day, but he still has a strange fondness for you.

"Uh... Hi, Poppy. I guess I saw you during your photoshoot today... you looked really great. Although that's pretty much an everyday thing when it comes to you, really. I can't wait to see your face in the next magazines I read..."
Astro said, perhaps in an attempt to start a conversation, or even flirt. But Astro definitely wasn't that kind of Toon, so he just wished he could at least become someone closer in terms of friendship.
