I love the conflicting interactions between Astral and Yuma. But I don't think there are enough comical scenes between the two. This was just one that popped into my head. Guess when it happened :)


School was about to start, but for once in, like, ever Yuma was able to sit down and enjoy a quick breakfast. This morning he would have cereal, something really quick and easy to make. He found a bowl and fetched himself the milk from the fridge.

"You're going to be late for school," Astral said, floating behind him. Yuma didn't feel like telling him off that it was just cereal, he needed something to eat, and he was always late for school. So he just sat down and poured himself a bowl.

"What is that?" the blue figure asked curiously, indicating the boy's breakfast.

"It's a bowl of cereal," Yuma said in between spoonfuls.

"Bowl of cereal?"

"Yeah," Yuma said, returning back to his food. "Now can I eat in peace?"

"What's a bowl of cereal?"

Yuma sighed loudly. He then began explaining it like his was talking to a four year old. "It's cereal," he picked up the cereal box, "and milk," indicating the carton, "in a bowl."

The boy went back to eating. "Where did the cereal come from?" Yuma actually contemplated whether it was better to just keep his mouth shut. "Cereal comes from the store."

"Where does the store get it from?"

"I don't know," admitted Yuma, "From the farm."

"Where does the farm get it from?" Astral wondered.

"From the field – where it's grown." Yuma added the last bit with a tone suggesting this was the end of their conversation. Astral remained silent as he watched his partner put the dish in the sink.

"Where does the milk come from?"

"From the store." Boy, this was getting old.

"Where does the store get it from?"

"From the farm."

"So it's also grown in the field with the cereal?"

"No, milk comes from cows." Yuma corrected. "Oh," Astral said, like he understood. Yuma rolled his eyes and headed for the door.

"Where do cows get the milk?"

Why didn't he just keep his mouth shut this morning?
