AN: Sorry this took so long! School started up again which means I'm crammed full with work, but at least I have a computer to work from now~ Thank you for the reviews, favourites and follows, I hope you enjoy the chapter!

EDIT; I'm so sorry about the coding issues! I hope they're fixed now, but thank you all for informing me!

Taking a look inside the Lucky Cat Cafe, a group made up of four teenagers could be seen sitting around a table.

"I really should not have told Tadashi to go, who knows what happened to him down there?!"

A bulky, dark skinned man who was the largest of them all, wearing a green sweater and sporting a head full of dreads, fussed. He would be known as Wasabi No Ginger.

"Tadashi Hamada is no baby; he can last down there for what, twenty minutes?"

The next one to speak up and retort was the shortest, a fit looking young girl who bore an empty expression, brown eyes staring through the choppy locks of purple and black hair that hung over her face, This was GoGo Tomago.

"GoGo's right! I'm sure Tadashi will make it back in no time!"

Honey Lemon, the tallest of the group, a woman with tan skin and blonde hair, wearing pink glasses and a bright smile reassured the aforementioned Wasabi, unlike GoGo's tough approach.

"Dudes, there he is now!"

Making his presence known, Fred, the obvious stand out of the group, with his monster beanie and dirty blonde hair that sprawled out from under that, grinned, and pointed towards the door as one Tadashi Hamada made his way inside.

"I told you so!"

Honey Lemon beamed as she jumped to her heeled feet, bounding over to Tadashi and kissing both his cheeks.

"How was your trip?"

"Heh, eventful?"

He said after a moment, as he had to think over all the things that had happened to him not all that long ago.

"Alright then, Spill it, what went down?"

Gogo demanded more than asked with a pop of the bubble gum she was constantly chewing, it kept her calm, without it she would constantly be on the edge.

"So,"

Tadashi began, taking a seat with his friends whilst pushing the bag of requested herbs to Wasabi.

"While I was buying Wasabi's herbs, the woman who ran the stall I found them in was getting a little too friendly..."

Honey's brows furrowed, and her lower lip jutted out slightly at hearing the news from Tadashi, she was tempted to blurt out a question of what exactly she did- or if Tadashi was really okay or not, but, He was continuing, so she would settle her questions and wait for him to finish.

"A boy saved me though, with a bot, his name is Hiro, Hiro Hamada..."
Tadashi paused.
"He runs a tech stall, its filled with this super high-tech stuff- I'm kind of surprised how a fourteen year old kid gets his hands on that. I also invited him to come visit us all at school, he said he'd drop by sometime!"

Wasabi's brows furrowed and he gave Tadashi an unbelieving look.

"You invited someone like that to our school? Logic to Hamada!- That kid's probably bad news! We can't have someone who does that kind of business within our school!"
"Oh, Wasabi, please- I'm sure he's not that bad."

Honey quickly assured before Tadashi had to.

"He's only fourteen- right?"

She then asked, this time her words were being directed towards Tadashi. Which he received perfectly, grinning wide. He was glad that someone was on his side.

"Sounds awesome!"

Fred hollered.
"Soon- there will be seven."

He added, this time in a dark and sinister voice, as if imitating some animated villain, but at least it got a giggle from Honey.

"Tadashi's maternal instincts got the better of him."

Gogo said with a slight chuckle on her part, lazily leaning back in her chair.

"That's our Tadashi! Always being such a mother duck, making sure everyone he meets is okay."

Honey cooed softly in a teasing manner, grinning widely at Tadashi who rolled his eyes in the most overdramatic manner.

"C'mon- He's a fourteen year old kid whose parents are dead, apparently has no one to care for himself and is out in a place like that, wouldn't you guys do the same to make sure he was okay?"

"Well, even with all that he can handle himself better than you could so no, I wouldn't."

Gogo smirked proudly, but she had never been one to show much compassion to strangers, so of course she out of the group wouldn't understand.

"Gogo's right."

Wasabi said simply.

"I wouldn't- you really just can't trust those kinds of people and the fact that he's so young make it even more suspicious."

"Oh come on you two, no need to be so sour about it! I'm sure once we meet him we'll know exactly why Tadashi is taking a liking to him."

"Yeah! I bet the little dude is totally involved with like, robots and science and stuff."

Fred piped up, grinning away dopily, and to that Honey Lemon simply nodded ecstatically.

They all turned to Tadashi as to see how he felt on the situation but before he could speak up, his Aunt Cass strode over from behind the counter she had been managing and waitressing for the past half of their conversation.

"Tadashi! You're finally home!"

The cheerful woman chirped loudly as she pulled her nephew into a tight hug, causing him, and his friends to laugh at the scene.

"Yeah, I'm back Aunt Cass, sorry I was gone for so long."

"Oh don't apologise! You're a teenager, you need to be getting out more instead of staying cooped up in the garage working on all your projects constantly, I'm glad you're starting to have a little fun!"

Tadashi gave a small chuckle at his Aunt's words, as it was completely true. He would spend days on end in his room, or the garage or even his lab at the university, coding, building, and programming, all of that nerd stuff.

"Well, don't expect it to happen to often, I've still got a few tweaks to make on my current project, y'know?"

"Plus he has to stay at the university to make sure he meets up with his kid!~"
Honey Lemon butted in, making most of the members at the table snort, but for Cass, it made her eyes widen and brows rise in confusion.

"You have a kid!? With who!?"

Tadashi quickly held his hands up in a defensive position from his Aunt.

"No! No! It's not like that, I found this kid while I was getting Wasabi his things- I invited him to stop by the University some time, he seemed to be really good with robotics and programming, and seeing him in those sort of markets really struck a chord with me."

Cass hadn't once let go of her hold on Tadashi but those words just made it tighten.

"Oh, I knew I raised you right!"

She chimed happily, squeezing her eyes shut as she also squeezed Tadashi.
Tadashi merely chuckled nervously.

"I guess you're where I picked up those 'maternal instincts' from."

"You'd be the best Mom!"

Fred called, which made the group burst into a fit of laughter again.

"Well I have to get back to serving everyone in the café, don't get up to any trouble."

"Yeah Tadashi~"

Fred spoke teasingly.

"That goes for all of you!"

"Of course, Cass."

Honey Lemon giggled. With a curt nod, Aunt Cass turned and made her way over to the next customer that required her assistance.

"So," Wasabi began, "When can we expect to be meeting your kid, Tadashi?"
