The Insanity that is Atlas

Since I didn't want to THINK about cleaning up that text, here's what they're saying:

Atlas: You used to be my best friend, but now you hardly do anything with me 'cause of your stupid girlfriend and that even worse baseball team...the same bunch of guys that made fun of you behind your back for looking like a girl. I was the only Smeet in elementary that believed you were a guy and didn't run away from you like the other guys since they thought you had "cooties". But I guess you seem to have forgotten all that.

Skitz: Dude, you can't expect me to hang out with you 24/7. You've been acting weirder lately. It's like you can't stop thinking about crazy experiements. I think your parents are worried about you, Atlas. Get some sleep man.

Skitz's hat: I am a guy
Skitz's shirt: GUY

This is a scene set during Skitz's and Atlas' high school years. Skitz didn't have many friends until middle school due to the fact that he was born with female antennas and eyelashes...and his mom was crazy enough to buy him girl clothes sometimes since she'd wanted a girl instead (later gets one that turns out to be goth XD). As for Atlas, he just wasn't very good when it came to friends and preferred to be alone with his face stuck in a science book. Skitz was interested in science for a while too so he and Atlas ended up partnering up for many science projects. Atlas had such a knack for science that he was generally allowed to compete against older Irkens. He was extremely intelligent and studious, but he was warped.

When Skitz's interests moved to other things, Atlas wasn't too thrilled about being left out of the picture. He also didn't like that Skitz didn't want to help him with his latest experiment: brain nanos. So the only thing for him to do was work on it late into the night and skip several days of school in the process. He was originally going to use the nanos for good, but then he devised an excellent plan to get Skitz to be his best friend again. He configured the nanos to take away Skitz memory of ever liking his girlfriend or sports, and to remind him of how much he had liked science. So one day, he knocked Skitz out and brought him to his room where he attached the nanos to his brain. Skitz wouldn't have remembered any of this had there not been a huge oversight on Atlas' part. One of the nanos was corrupted and would later "give" the memories back to Skitz. There was no way they could be friends again after that.

The Aftermath: Atlas was expelled from school after the event and was forced to find another one. He went on to college where he started up on experimenting again, and it didn't matter on whom. This was also the time when he donned the cape. He eventually had to flee from Irk so he wouldn't be banished. And that's when he went to Food Courtia to continue on there. :)

Haha, I think the story is better than the picture. XD
