Hello, and welcome to another new Danganronpa fanfic. An idea popped into my head after doing some research on some classic TV series of the 1980's, and after reading a list of some of the 80's shows' on the internet, a certain show caught my eye, which I immediately conducted a research on Wikipedia, and after reading the info, as well as downloading it, I was immediately floored with inspiration that led me to create this fic.

This fanfic is based on the classic TV series, Three's Company, which starred an ensemble cast featuring Joyce DeWitt, Suzanne Somers, and the late John Ritter, and aired between 1977 to 1984. While I was able to download and watch seasons 1 up to 3 via internet, it was enough to give me ideas to try out this experimental fic, and here it is.

Now comes the challenge of which characters to use, and after almost a week of research, I finally picked the DR characters who will portray the roles, and they are:

- Makoto Naegi

- Sayaka Maizono

- Junko Enoshima

While this may sound odd on why I chose these characters, I felt that they fit the bill given that they might develop a sort of COMICAL CHEMISTRY and I believe it might work once the next chapters come in and there you will see what I mean.

While school life at Hope's Peak Academy will be shown here, the main setting would be the neighborhood, and you'll soon, and eventually, find out what I'm about to show you once the next upcoming chapters come in.

Well, though this is the first chapter, I am hoping that this might attract readers due to the uniqueness of the plot as it combines some slice of life and humor, so let me know if you like it via the reviews on the review box at the bottom portion of this chapter.

Well, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 1: Prologue

Japan. A country located within the Southeast Asia, which is near neighboring countries such as the Philippines and the past it was known fir its controversial part in World War II, which led the United States of Ameruca to drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima which caused damage, but also led Japan to surrender, bringing the war to an end.

Since then, Japan and its citizens changed for the better, and along the way became friendlier to other neighboring Asian countries and prospered well in the years to come, slowly becoming one of the fast-growing economic partners to other countries.

As the years passed, many emperors come and go, yet they were able to keep Japan floating economically and its citizens prospered and lived peacefully, thus they slowly moved on after what happened at Hiroshima after World War II ended.

-x-

In the years (or decades) that passed, Japan remained as the economic, trading, and friendliest country within the whole of Asia, and their technologies improved, which led to a lot of scientific breakthroughs which improved the lives of its citizens and increasing the happy lives of everyone, local residents and foreigners living here.

Meanwhile, The scene then zoomed further and you can see that the scene shows that the place being shown is Tokyo, which is bustling with people who are walking the busy streets, some riding vehicles, and others riding on bicycles. There are several types of people seen on the streets; adults, children, and even infants being carried by their parents. Businessmen, businesswomen, students, policemen, all kinds of persons are seen, and they were doing their usual activities as if they do not mind it.

Shops are open and the merchants are selling their merchandise and are enticing people to buy them in hopes of earning money. It was a typical day and it seems that people today are lively and felt that their lives are full of blessings and couldn't ask for anything more, as some are happy with stable jobs, students studying in the best schools, and more, and some even chatted with one another feeling that today is a good day.

"Hey there..."

"Today's a good day..."

"Ah...life is so good..."

"Let's have lunch...?"

"Will you be my girlfriend...?"

"Let's get married..."

"Stop right there!"

"EEEP! COPS!"

-x-

The scene later shifts to a certain area, where business is thriving the area is frequently being besieged by customers which are a mix of adults and teenagers, and they appeared to be avid collectors, as they are looking and buying second-hand items which are technological in nature, and their reasons for patronizing the said shops are purely economical - cheaper prices and practicality. You can see several shops selling HOT items for cheaper prices, such as smartphones, android tablets and even laptops, and despite being second-hand items, they appeared to be in good working conditions, and some of the customers are willing to buy them as long as their desired items are working fine as well as to save money for budgetary reasons, and the merchants are using subtle means in enticing passing customers.

"Hello...please by oyr items..."

"They are cheaper..."

"...they are in good working condition..."

"You can try them if you like..."

"I promise you will like them..."

"I promise you will get your money's worth..."

"Here are the items on our display..."

"Pick the one you like..."

The area in question turns out to be Akihabara, and the area is thriving and many merchants set up shops to attract passing customers and entice them to buy their products by showing the items and offered cheaper prices while assuring them that the items are in good working condition, and their marketing strategy worked as some passing customers were intrigued after hearing that so e gadgets are being sold in cheaper prices, and they began asking the merchants what items do they sell, and the merchants showed to the customers the items they are selling, ranging from smartphones to android tablets and even laptops.

Then the scene shifts to another nearby shop, where a merchant is also selling second-hand items, but unlike the other shops, this merchant is selling something else and is catering avid collectors, and the scene shifts inside the shop where you can see the items being sold, which turn out to be classic console units and games, all being displayed on the shelves, and one by one you can see the following consoles being on display, which are:

- Nintendo Famicom

- Super Famicom

- Sega Genesis

- Game Boy Color

- Game Boy Advance

- Neo Geo

- Sony Playstation

- Sega Saturn

- Nintendo 64

In a matter of minutes customers passed by the shop, and most of them are avid collectors and fans of video games, and they were immediately intrigued by the items on display and they looked at the items, as some appeared to be unaware that such classical consoles actually existed, and they began asking the merchants if those consoles and its games are really something to be owned, which the merchant nodded and assured to them that the classic games are RARE, and are fun to play with, saying that even with popular games today that are released on current consoles such as the Sony Playstation 4, the Microsoft X-Box One and the Nintendo Wii, the consoles on display are even COOLER due to its nostalgia factor.

"Are they really cool compared to today's consoles?"

"Yes...they are cool..."

"Seriously?"

"Yes, sir...they are the very first games...and they are the popular ones in its heydays...and they are RARE to find..."

"Hmm..."

"Would you like to try them...?"

"..."

"I promise you will not regret it..."

The scene shifts again, somewhere within the suburbs of Tokyo, where you can see a neighborhood, where ordinary citizens are doing their usual things, walking, talking, cleaning their houses and cars, doing chores and the such.

-x-

Much later, the scene shifts at the heart of Tokyo itself, where you can see a rather huge building in the middle of the city, which appeared to be an academy, and soon it turns out to be Hope's Peak Academy, and there you can see a lot of students coming inside, most of them are already enrolled due to their names being randomly chosen and given their assigned titles (duento being scouted by the academy scouts the moment they find out about that student's HIDDEN TALENT), while the next scene zooms in and you can see Makoto Naegi walking by, and he was in a state of disbelief that he was chosen to become one of the academy's students through a random draw, and given the title of "Super High School-level Luckster".

Despite the fact that he was chosen to become one of the academy students, which is quite an honor, Naegi still doesn't see himself as "one of the chosen students", as he is still a teenager and is somewhat a few inches shorter than an average adult man. This is proven after seeing other students walk past him and compared their heights. Despite the "Luckster" title, Naegi still sees himself as an ordinary teen, and took a deep breath and prepared himself to enter when a hand touched his shoulder, and as he turned around, he is surprised to see who tapped his shoulder and a conversation took place.

"Okay...here goes nothing..."

"Um...Naegi-kun?"

"Huh?"

"Naegi-kun...it's you!"

"Huh?"

"It's me!"

"Maizono-san?"

"Yup-yup!"

The one Naegi speaking to is a girl, roughly the same age as him, and she is identified as Sayaka Maizono, who has the assigned title of "Super High School-level Idol", in which she is a popular singing idol, and Naegi is surprised at seeing her as Maizono was a schoolmate of Naegi in the last three years as they were in the same junior high school, and he couldn't believe that she still remembered him and as the two made some conversation, the other academy students are surprised, as some of them saw her on TV, yet they couldn't believe that she is chatting with an "ordinary boy".

"Hey, look!"

"Sayaka Maizono!"

"The popular idol?"

"Cool! She's here at Hope's Peak Academy as a student?"

"Whoa...look...who is she talking to?"

"What a boring-looking guy..."

"They seemed to be getting along..."

"Man...I'm jealous..."

Seeing that they are "attracting attention", Maizono told Naegi that they should go inside which he agreed, sensing that some of the male students are "staring daggers" at him and the two went inside, and soon other male students got word that the popular Maizono is also a student at Hope's Peak Academy yet they are startled at the fact that she is chatting immediately with Naegi, in which they are surprised at the fact that Naegi is the "Luckster" and that an "Idol" would entertain him, causing some of them to get envious and jealous towards Naegi.

-x-

Several minutes later, Maizono and Naegi are at the hallway looking at the bulletin board, where several papers are posted, showing the list of sections where the students are assigned to, though the two teens couldn't see it immediately as there were a lot of students in front of them and they had to be patient in waiting for their turns, which Naegi sighed as he never thought the first day of school would turn out to be like this, though Maizono cheered him up which worked well for him.

"Cheer up, Naegi-kun..."

"I know..."

"But you're lucky..."

"Really?"

"Yeah...your name was chosen to become a student in this prestigious academy...and you got a friend from junior high who just became your schoolmate...and we get to chat for the next three years...friends..."

"Yeah...I guess you're right..."

"So cheer up..."

"Okay..."

By then the students in front of them started to leave, and the two teens took the chance to see the bulletin board and there they are able to find their names, seeing that they are assigned in the same section much to Naegi and Maizono's delight, as they are classmates and are assigned to section "Class 78", and the two immediately went towards the room they are assigned to, and there they saw that the other are already there and they appeared to be upbeat like Maizono. Some of them even greeted Maizono as they appeared to know her because of her status as an idol singer.

Naegi glanced at the other students who would become his classmates, and they are identified as the following along with their assigned titles:

- Byakuya Togami - "Super High School-level Heir"

- Kyoko Kirigiri - "Super High School-level Detective"

- Toko Fukawa - "Super High School-level Novelist"

- Yasuhiro Hagakure - "Super High School-level Fortune Teller"

- Aoi Asahina - "Super High School-level Swimmer"

- Sakura Ohgami - "Super High School-level Martial Artist"

- Celestia Ludenberg - "Super High School-level Gambler"

- Hifumin Yamada - "Super High School-level Doujin Artist"

- Kiyotaka Ishimaru - "Super High School-level Moral Compass"

- Mondo Ohwada - "Super High School-level Biker"

- Chihiro Fujisaki - "Super High School-level Programmer"

- Leon Kuwata - "Super High School-level Baseball Player"

As Naegi is about to take his seat, he heard some noises outside the classroom, so he went out to check out what the commotion is about, where he saw other Hope Peak students are staring in awe, and when Naegi went closer, he found the source of what the students are talking about, as he saw two teenage girls walking the hallway, and the two girls are identified as:

- Junko Enoshima - "Super High School-level Fashion Diva"

- Mukuro Ikusaba - "Super High School-level Soldier"

Naegi glanced at the two girls as he noted that the two looked somewhat similar as their eyes are quite the same, as in identical, yet their figures are miles apart, as Enoshima's has an hourglass figure and that her BUSTS are quite bigger, whilst Ikusaba has smaller BUSTS.

Naegi can hear the other students whispering, as they appeared to pay more attention on Enoshima due to her sexy figure.

"Hey…look…"

"Isn't that…?"

"Junko Enoshima…"

"Wow…the sexy fashion model…?"

"She's hot…"

"I like her."

"Should we ask her out…?"

"What's her phone number…?"

Naegi stood there as Enoshima and Ikusaba walked past him, and he could not help but glanced at the Fashion Diva as he finds her cute...and sexy. He shook his head as he did not want to give the impression that he is perverted and all. However, Enoshima stole a glance at Naegi, in which she finds him quite...attractive despite the ORDINARY AURA he gives off, as well as his petite and height. The two girls then proceeded to enter the classroom, where Naegi is surprised to find out that the two girls would become his classmates.

Naegi entered the classroom as well, and there he saw some of the boys began befriending Enoshima, as well as being quite smitten as she gives away free copies of the latest issues of the fashion magazines.

By then the homeroom teacher arrived and motions the classnto pay attention, as classes is now about to commence, and Naegi is now looking forward to a happy school life inside Hope's Peak Academy.

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked this chapter, and while there is no action showed here, it served as an introductory part and is pretty much the start of the story. More are on the way once the next chapters arrive…

Preview:

The next chapter shows that Naegi struggles the stress of traveling between his home and Hooe's Peak Academy, whilst Maizono is also having the same problem, whereas Enoshima is looking for a place to stay near Hope's Peak as the photo studio she is using is near, hence the trio's need to find a place to stay to cut travel time.

Until they encountered someone who would solve the problem...

See you in 2019…
