-_-_-_- Chasing the Past -_-_-_-
AN: Hello everyone, whoever you may be! I'll try to keep this brief, so this story is about a man named Rikki Truant (Pronounced the same as Ricky, just spelled in a more unique way) and his adventures with the girls from the game Huniepop! (Classy story) I'm not too sure if this will contain 18+ chapters or not, seeing has I never wrote something like that before... This story will contain Action, Love, music (there will be a band) and more! So buckle up, and off we go!
- Rikki's POV -
August 23rd, 2003/Truant Residence
So, here I am, I suppose I should introduce myself, my name is Rikki, Rikki Truant, and my life has been pretty crazy, but it hasn't always been this way, until one year, I met a girl that changed my life to the insane train wreck state that it is currently in, but, I'm going to try in my best ability to explain it to you.
Let's see... It all started the week of my birthday, the day before.
"Mom... Stop... I look fine! It's only my party!" I stared angrily up at my mother as she prepared me for my upcoming birthday.
"Rikki, your hair needs to look nice! If it doesn't, you won't get any girls to notice you!"
"Yeah, like any of them will..." I say in a slightly upset tone.
I'm not usually like this, and I am a very positive child. I'm not depressed, just very recently I have been bullied, because of my body build. I am a very weak, and scrawny child, and I am very shy because of this.
"Rikki! Don't say that! Are you okay?"
She said in a now worried tone. I haven't told her about the bullying. I never told anybody. It's my little secret.
"Y-Yeah, yeah I'm okay Mom." I faked a smile, something I'm very skilled at.
"You sure?" She asked, giving me a questioning look.
"Very." I replied, with a cheerier nod.
"I trust you, boy." She said in a slightly mocking way, as she finished up the last of my shaggy and messy hair.
"Mooom, are you almost finished?" I whined.
"Close!" She yelled, swiping the comb through my hair quickly, for the last time. "Perfect!" she said, in a cheery tone.
'Finally...' I thought to myself silently.
"Do you like how you look? Your so handsome!"
"You don't have to lie, mom" I said, sighing. She was right though, I looked very dashing. 'Wait, what am I saying... No girls will ever notice me like that...' I thought, frowning again.
"So, kid." She said, pushing me towards the door. "You ready?"
"Yup! As I'll ever be." I replied, quickly. As we jumped in the car, I thought about how the party was going to go for me.
-Floating Cloud Water Park-
3:36 PM, August 23, 2003
"Happy birthday, to you~!" The large crowd of adults and children sang in unison, around the small park picnic table.
"Thanks, guys" I said to everyone, truly thankful.
"Blow 'em out Rik!" My best buddy Trent yelled to me.
I took in a deep breath of the water park air, exhaling it back out, blowing the candles flames, extinguishing them.
Everyone cheered louder then fans at an English football game, making my grow a little red. I don't like being the center of attention.
As the crowd dispersed, devouring the sugary-sweet cake, I stared down at mine, water from the pool dripping down slowly onto my paper plate, which held my perfect marble cake with moon blue icing.
"Hey, no, don't!" I heard a girl's voice pierce the silence. As I looked up, my eyes nearly melted at the sight.
What I saw was an unfamiliar girl about my age, but she wasn't any ordinary girl, she was the most beautiful and perfect girl I have ever seen. She was about my height, just inches shorter. She had pink highlights in her hair, the main reason behind her cuteness. As I thought this, I realized the true reason behind the yell. From the looks of the sticky situation, she was being pressured into jumping off the high dive, which is located at the deepest part of the pool, something scary for even an adult.
"Please stop..." She begged.
This makes me slightly sick to my stomach, seeing her like that.
"Do it or... Your glasses will get broken." The teen says.
She gasps. "No! W-Wait!" The kids throw her down, taking her glasses off, and tossing them in the deepest part of the pool.
Her scream of terror chills me to the core. I will never forget that scream until the day I die.
'I've gotta help! But what can I do?...what can I DO?!'
I get up, dropping my cake into a mess on the sidewalk.
A teen notices me and hold me back with one hand.
"Look at this small dude trying to help his little girlfriend!" He laughs at my size, and what I'm trying to do.
"Get lost, you pussy!" He punches my in the arm very forcefully, grabbing the pink-haired girl. 'No way! He wouldn't!' I was wrong, as he would proceed to throw the defenseless girl into the deep end.
The time before she hits the water goes in slow motion, going normal when she flops into the liquid. All of a sudden, my body gains an unknown courage, my legs darting up, and sprinting towards the pool.
As my body hits the water, I struggle to keep my eyes open, under the chlorified water. When I find the damsel in distress, I grab her with both arms, as she flails around, kicking my gut. I fight through the shock, and I lie the girl onto the dry grass. I wait for a response or for any source of movement. When I get the opposite of this, I panic, a million thoughts flooding into my mind.
The girl suddenly coughs, pulling me from my thought forcefully. She spits water onto the grass, and sits up, still dazed from the experience. "Wh-Wha..-" She says as I outstretch a friendly hand towards her.
"Need a hand, girl?" I say, in a heroic tone, as she grabs my hand reluctantly. I blush, and time stands still, our faces toward each other, and a form of heat burning my heart at a thousand degrees. She smiles wide and says, "Thank you so much, boy! Your so sweet!" I hear her mumble after this, and I swear she said something like... "Cute?" I blush again. "Yup! So what's your name, stranger?" She says, in a more peppy tone. "Rikki..." I shyly say. "That's a great name! And there's no need to be shy!" I nod in understanding. How can I be calm in this situation, though?! "That's true, but what's your name?..." I say back, trying not to be shy.
"It's all okay, My name is Kyu. Nice to meet you, Rikki!"
Another thing. If the format for this story seems familiar, it's because I got the idea for this story, after being inspired by an artist by the name of: Kh0ldstare and shoutout to him! You should go check out this version of his story, as I am not trying to steal it in any way. Also Disclaimer: I do not own Huniepop in anyway shape or form, as it belongs to Huniepot Studios.
Have a good one all my readers! The next chapter will be up soon!
