At somewhere within the P.A. Works Corporation Main Office, Toyoma, Japan...

"Worst. Ending. Ever!"

That was a response from a certain red-headed twintail girl named Izumi Akazawa, after she just finished reading the script of the final episode of the anime adaptation of 'Another', which featured her as one of the main characters, who to her disgust, got unceremoniously killed off just right before the conflict is resolved.

"So, that's it? I went crazy and got offed just as safety was within reach, just because I was trying to kill that girl!?"

She pointed to a certain pale-skinned black-haired girl who's just a little shorter than her. Her trademark white eyepatch placed prominent on her face.

"It's not really my fault, is it?" Mei Misaki replied in an annoyed voice, her face showing a mix of pity and amusing look, contrasting the stoic personality she was forced to depict in the scripts.

"If there's someone to blame, it's the writers." She said. "They decided to kill you off, because they thought your 'death' will have a larger impact on the audience, with that backstory and all. Oh, did I mention that the way you went out is so spectacular?"

"Shut it, Mei!" Izumi yelled.

"Oi! Calm down!" The boy who sat beside her attempt to console her. "It's not like I'm happy with this, too, but we can't change anything. The script's already been written. At least you're still alive in the manga..."

"You know as well as I do that it's not canon, you idiot Kouichi!" Izumi argued. "Besides, I got 'killed' in the original novel already, and I'm not even one of the main characters in that version! Damn that Ayatsuji!"

"Well, at least you're popular within the fanbase." Kouichi spoke.

"Not as much as her!" She pointed furiously at Mei, who just yawned in response.

Three days later, the final episode finished filming, and started airing. The three main characters, all of whom exhausted after a very long day (especially Izumi, who thought that it was a good idea to chase the script writer around the filming set during filming every time she catch the sight of him), decided to return to this room to discuss about their next big project with another group of P.A. Works' prominent figures...

And as it happens, the other group is none other than the main trio of Angel Beats! themselves.

"When will those three arrive? We've been waiting for half an hour." Mei stared at the clock on the room's wall.

As if on cue, someone starts knocking the door.

"Hey! It's us! We're here, guys." A male voiced spoke.

"Come on in! The door's unlocked." Kouichi answered.

And then the door swings open, entering come three figures, one boy and two girls.

"Sorry that we're late," The purple-haired girl with a headband on the right spoke. "Traffic's a bitch this evening."

"That's because you decided to spent ages at the local gun store looking for a new pistol, Yuri-chan." The white-haired girl who's considerably shorter than the others spoke out. "Your old Beretta is still working just as fine, you know?"

"Zip it, Kanade! You don't know anything about firearms!" Yuri snapped. "All you ever use in combat is your so-cool-it's-awesome Handsonic skills, so don't you dare tell me how to choose my weapon!"

"At least you didn't have to go look for your new gun today, Yuri-san." The light red-headed boy in the middle spoke up. "You do remember we have a consult meeting with the main cast of Another today, don't you?"

"Fine, Otonashi, fine!" Yuri finally relented. "I gave up."

And with that, the three main cast of Angel Beats! both arranged themselves on the seats opposite of Izumi, Kouichi and Mei.

"Alright...first of all," Yuzuru Otonashi began "Congrats on the release of the final episode, guys. It's been a long journey. You deserved the rest."

"Somehow, that doesn't make me feel better at all..." Izumi moaned. "And by rest, you don't mean permanent rest, right? BECAUSE THAT FREAKIN' JUST HAPPENED TO ME!"

"Whoa! What's with you!? Did I say something wrong?" Yuzuru took a step back away from the clearly-furious Izumi.

"She's just upset, Otonashi-senpai." Kouichi spoke. "She was decided to be 'killed off' in the final episode, just right before the mystery is resolved."

"Ouch." Yuri gasped. "You poor girl..."

"It doesn't change a thing." Izumi sobbed. "After all, it's a horror story. You can't write a horror story without somebody dying."

"Well, that's why we're here, right?" Kanade finally spoke up. "With your anime finally completed airing, we can plan to write a petition to the P.A. Works chairman to give us the season two everybody's asking for."

"Actually, it's not completed airing yet." Mei said. "There's still an OVA left. It's about me and my 'twin sister' Misaki. I don't even have a sister in real life!"

"Yeah, and how the hell can you make a season two anyways when you just killed off two out of three of the entire cast in the first season alone!?" Izumi added.

"Well, another way that could work out is a crossover." Kouichi suggested, which surprises everyone in the room.

"What's your great idea this time, Kouichi?" Izumi asked.

"Think about it! I mean, both Angel Beats! and Another are made by P.A. Works, and the main theme of both stories is 'Death'. Angel Beats! took place in an afterlife for depressed teens, while Another is about depressed teens got killed off by a strange curse."

"That...was actually a great idea," Yuzuru agreed. "For a fanfic, anyway. Can't believe that no fans out there have even thought of this before."

"No such luck. It was obvious that we're not popular enough to deserve such fanfics." Mei sighed. "Just look at the competition out there! Even mecha animes alone beat us by a mile in terms of reputation."

"And sadly, P.A. doesn't do crossovers." Kanade added. "Not yet, anyway, but it won't be any time soon, either. They have so many projects on their hands right now, all big ones, that Nagi-something sure has a lot of hype nowadays."

"Nagi No Asukara." Izumi corrected. "Well, its setting seems interesting, if I do say so myself, but it's stealing all the hypes from us! In a few years, they probably won't remember that we exist anymore."

"True words have been spoken." Yuri clapped her hands.

"Hmph! As I recall, Key Visual Arts promised to make you a new visual novel, didn't they? At least you're getting something new! We're all going downhill from here, well, at least I'm in a grave now." Izumi said, then punched a fist onto the wall behind her in frustration.

"God bless Jun Maeda." Yuzuru muttered.

"Well, at least we can keep it to ourselves." Kouichi said. "Let's just leave something like an idea about how this can work out, maybe someone will continue our works, sometime..."

"Right, right. Like I have anything better to do anyway. I'm already dead." Izumi sighed again, much to Mei's annoyance.

"I'm going to let you kill me for real if you're being sarcastic like that again, Izumi-san."

"HMPH!"

"What will we call this project, anyway?" Yuzuru asked.

"Let's see...Maybe...Project Death Seekers?" Kouichi suggested. "Our shows are all about death, anyway."

"Have it your way, guys. Me and Kanade will just...sit here, playing chess." Yuri spoke as she moved a black bishop to capture Kanade's white knight on the chess board (that nobody noticed up till now to their amazement)

"I'm surrounded by idiots." Izumi crossed her arms, before dropping herself onto the sofa once again, defeated.

Editor's note: Well, I'm outta my mind again after coming back from a long, long absence, right?

First of all, I wrote this out of frustration (again), and because I noticed that Angel Beats! and Another have many very similar elements in both of them, as well as being produced by the same studio, I wanted to point out these similarities, and how it could work out as a crossover. I've already written the first two chapters of my first attempt at linking the two stories (Another Beats!) which I must say, sadly, that I won't be continuing for a while. Too many things to do on my end, and a lot of fics left unfinished. Sorry if I let anyone down.

I was planning this fic to be a oneshot, but in the end, I think it needed at least 3 chapters. I'm probably going to add more characters from both series to the story too, which only time will tell if I'm going to add anyone. Also, this fic was inspired by a Digimon series-crossover fic 'The Meeting Of The Goggle Boys' by Taiki Matsuki, a very humorous fic if you asked me. ^_^

Angel Beats! is owned by Key Visual Arts, with its stories created by Jun Maeda, and Another is written by Yukito Ayatsuji, both animes adapted by P.A. Works Studio.

Thank you for all your reviews and favorites. God bless you all, people. :)
