Outside, Hiro and Baymax were slowly making their way down the street. "I've got to get you home to your charging station," Hiro said. "Can you walk?"

Baymax took another step and plopped down on his butt. "I will scan you now," he slurred. "Scan complete. Health care!" Baymax shouted, waving a partially deflated arm.

"Sure, buddy. We're almost there," Hiro said, keeping the woozy robot moving. Finally, the Lucky Cat Café was in sight.

As Hiro struggled to get Baymax into the house, he said, "Okay, if my aunt asks, we were at school all day. Got it?"

"We jumped out a window," Baymax said.

"No!" Hiro responded. "Quiet! Shhh."

"Shhh. We jumped out a window," Baymax repeated, his voice quieter as Hiro guided him up the stairs inside the house. But the robot missed a step and fell on his forehead with a thud.

"We can't say things like that around Aunt Cass!" Hiro reprimanded him.

Aunt Cass yelled, "Hiro? You home, sweetie?" She leaned over the kitchen counter. From her angle, she could only see Hiro's face at the top of the stairs.

Hiro froze. "Uh, that's right."

"I thought I heard you. Look at my little college man!" she said. "Oh, I can't wait to hear all about it! Oh, and wings are almost ready!" She returned to the stove, and Baymax stuck his head around the corner.

"Wiiiings!" Baymax said excitedly.

"Will you be quiet?" Hiro whispered, pushing him up the second set of stairs, toward his and Tadashi's room.

"Yeah! Wiiiings! Get ready to get your face melted!" Aunt Cass said. She placed a platter of red-hot chicken wings on the table. "Now, sit down and tell me everything!" But Hiro was already halfway to his room.

"Uh, the thing is," Hiro called to her, "since I registered so late, I've got a lot of school stuff to catch up on."

Aunt Cass heard a loud thump and looked toward Hiro's door. "What was that?" she asked.

"Mochi, that darn cat!" Hiro said, shaking his fist, hoping the cat wasn't in the kitchen.

Aunt Cass sighed. "Well, at least take a plate for the road, okay?"

Hiro dashed into the kitchen and grabbed a plate of wings. "Thanks for understanding," he told her, then rushed into his room and closed the door.

Baymax was sitting on the floor, cuddling the cat and mumbling, "Hairy baby, hairrry baby."

Hiro rolled his eyes and pushed Baymax over to his charger. He kept babbling, "Hello. I'm health care. Your personal Baymax companion."

"One foot in front of the other," Hiro guided him.

With Baymax in place, Hiro fell back onto his bed and finally took a breath.

He was so confused. What were all his microbots doing in a warehouse? And what was he supposed to do with this big white robot? "This doesn't make any sense," Hiro said.

As Baymax slowly powered back up, he could feel Hiro's distress. Baymax's blurry vision quickly snapped into focus. He scanned the room. Then, standing tall, he said, "Tadashi."

外面，小宏和大白缓慢地沿着路往回走。“我得带你回家充电，”小宏说道，“你还能走吗？”

大白又走了一步，就扑通一声一屁股坐到了地上。“我现在为你扫描，”他含糊地嘟囔着，“扫描完成。健康无病！”大白挥着有点缩小的胳膊嚷道。

“好吧，兄弟。我们就快到了，”小宏一边扶着虚弱的机器人向前走一边说道。最终，幸运猫咖啡馆出现在了眼前。

小宏费力地把大白弄进屋，对他说道：“好啦，如果我阿姨问起，就说我们整天都在学校，明白吗？”

“我们跳窗了，”大白说道。

“不对！”小宏回答道。“安静！嘘。”

“嘘。我们跳窗了。”大白放低声重复道，小宏领着他走上楼梯进了房间。可机器人踩空了台阶，砰的一声额头栽倒在地上。

“我们不能这么跟卡斯阿姨说！”小宏训斥着他。

卡斯阿姨喊道：“小宏？亲爱的，你回家了？”她从厨房料理台探出身体。从那个角度她只能看见站在楼梯顶端的小宏的脸。

小宏僵在那儿：“呃，是的。”

“我就说，我听见你回来了。瞧瞧我的大学生！”她说道，“哦，我都等不及要听你讲讲你在学校里的所有经历了。哦，鸡翅快做好了！”她转过身去看烤炉，大白把头倚在拐角处。

“鸡鸡鸡翅！”大白兴奋地说。
