This takes place 10 years after the journey for Regeneration.
Colette, Zelos, Genis, Lloyd, Sheena all live in the same apartment building on Avenue Q with some other people from the ToS cast.
Colette sat on the park bench located near her building. She stared at her feet as they kicked the stray grass back and forth. Suddenly out of the corner of her eye, she saw a certain red haired chosen. "Mornin' Zelos!" She chirruped as she ran up to him. "Hi, my little Angel." Colette smiled at him, "How's life?" Zelos slumped down and sat on the bench Colette was recently on. "Disappointing!" Colette joined him, "What's the matter?" Zelos shrugged, "The catering company laid me off." Colette hugged him, "Oh, I'm sorry!" Zelos stood up suddenly, causing Colette to fall off. "Me too! I mean, look at me! I'm the most gorgeous male on earth and I always thought – " He broke of. Colette looked at him quizzically, "What?" Zelos sighed, "No it sounds stupid." And sat back down on the bench. Colette stood in front of him, "Awww come on!" Zelos started singing, "When I was little, I thought I would be…." Colette poked him, "What?" Zelos continued, "The new James Bond, better than the one on tv!" Colette started laughing, "Oh.." Zelos shrugged, "But now I'm thirty-two and as you can see I'm not." Colette shook her head, "Nope!" Zelos lied down on the bench, "Oh well. IT SUCKS TO BE ME!" Colette looked shocked, "Noooo.." Zelos repeated, "It sucks to be me." "No!" "It sucks to be broke and unemployed and turning thirty-three. It sucks to be me." Colette tried to lift him off the bench, "Oh, you think your life sucks?" Zelos became a blob on the bench, "I think so." "Your problems aren't so bad!" Colette gave up and went and sat on a swing. "I'm kinda pretty, though not really smart." "You are pretty." Zelos added. "Thanks!" Colette blushed, "I like romantic things like music and art. And as you know I have a gigantic heart!" Zelos nodded. " So whyyy DON'T I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!" Zelos fell off the bench in shock. "FUCK! IT SUCKS TO BE ME!" Colette started crying. "ME TOO!" Zelos stood and started pushing Colette's swing. Colette sobbed, "It sucks to be me." Zelos nodded, "It sucks to be me. It sucks to be Zelos." "And Colette." "To not have a job!" "To not have a date set!" They both grimaced, "It sucks to be me." In the distance you could hear arguing, "I CAN COME HOME WHEN I WANT TO GENIS YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER!" "OF COURSE I'M NOT YOUR MOTHER BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN GO OUT AND DRINK…." "GOD I HATE YOU…" WHAT! WHAT'S THAT MEAN! I COOK, I CLEAN!" Colette and Zelos follow the voices and find Lloyd and Genis arguing around the big oak tree. Zelos separated them and asked them, "Hey, Genis, Lloyd, can you settle something for us? Do you have a minute?" Genis looked up at him, "Ah, certainly." Colette joined Zelos, "Whose life sucks more? Zelos' or mine?" Genis and Lloyd looked at each other and shook their heads, "OURS!" Colette and Zelos looked shocked. Genis hugged Lloyd. "We live together." Lloyd hugged him back, "We're as close as people can get." Genis faced them and smiled, "We've been the best of buddies…" Lloyd finished, "Ever since the day we met." Genis pushed Lloyd away and started yelling, "So he knows lot's of ways TO MAKE ME REALLY UPSET!" "WHAT!" Lloyd yelled. Genis continued, "Oh, every day is an aggravation." Lloyd tried to protect himself, "Come on, that's an exaggeration." Genis forced his fist into Lloyd's chest, "You leave your clothes out, you put your feet on my chair!" Lloyd grabbed Genis' arm, "Oh yeah? You do such anal things like ironing your underwear!" Genis attempted to free himself while yelling, "You make that very small apartment we share a hell!" Lloyd let go of Genis making him fall, "So do you. That's why I'm in hell too." "It sucks to be me!" "No, it sucks to be me!" Colette joined in, "It sucks to be me!" Zelos then sang, "Is there anybody here it doesn't suck to be! It sucks to be me!" Sheena was passing by when she saw her four friends singing in the park. When she got up to them all four were humming daradadada. "Why are all of you so happy?" She asked them. Lloyd answered her, "Because our lives suck!" Your lives suck? Am I hearing you correctly? HA! I come to this dump, to live with my hubby dear. Try to become a seamstress but all my clothes tear. I left Mizuho and a life of luxury for this! NOW WHAT AM I TO DO, I CAN BARELY SEW! AND I HAVE AN UNEMPLOYED FIANCE! PLUS WE HAVE LOT'S OF BILLS TO PAY!" Sheena calmed down as they all stared at her blankly. She continued, "It sucks to be me. It sucks to be me! I tell you it Sucka-Sucka-Sucka-Sucka-Sucka-Sucka-Sucka-Sucka-Sucka-Sucka-Sucka-Sucka-Suck! It sucks to be me." From the corner of her eye she sees a somewhat familiar face. He was a young half-elf and she was sure the last time she saw him he was in a Desian costume. He walked up to them and asked, "Um.. excuse me?" The others didn't seem to recognize him so she played along. Zelos nodded to the half-elf, "Hey there." The half –elf looked down at his suitcase, "Sorry to bother you, but I'm looking for a place to live." Sheena looked at him quizzically, "Why are you looking all the way out here?" He blushed, "Well, I started at Avenue A, but so far everything is out of my price range. But this neighbourhood looks a lot cheaper!" He grinned and then walked up to the building. "Oh, and look – a "For Rent" sign." Zelos walked up to the startled half-elf. "You need to talk to the superintendent. Let me get him." The half-elf was in awe of the tall chosen, "Great, thanks!" Zelos lowered his voice dramatically and yelled, "YO KRATOS!" You could hear echoed through the building a grumbled, "I'm coming.. I'm coming…" Then all of a sudden a door opened and out strolled Kratos Auron. The half-elf went all pale, "OH MY GOD IT'S ThE SEREPHIN KRATOS AURON!" Kratos grinned, "Yes I am! I'm Kratos Auron one of the four Serephin. I had a lot of fame but that was back then. Now I'm broke and I'm the butt of everyone's jokes. But I'm here the Superintendent of Avenue Q!" Sheena sang, "Wow it sucks to be you!" Colette piped, "YOU WIN!" Kratos looked annoyed and der. Everyone sang, "It sucks to be you!" Zelos patted him on the shoulder, "Thanks Kratos, I feel better now!" Kratos nodded, "Try having people stopping you to say, "BLAME YOUR FATE!" He shook his head, "It gets old." Then they all joined together and started singing, "It sucks to be you on Avenue Q! It sucks to be me on Avenue Q! Sucks to be you on Avenue Q! Sucks to be us but not when we're together! We're together here on Avenue Q! We live on Avenue Q! Our friends do too! 'Til our dreams come true, we live on Avenue Q!" Lloyd patted Kratos, "Your life isn't that bad dad." Zelos grinned at the half-elf, "You're gonna love it here!" Kratos passed him something shiny, "Here's your keys!"
WELCOME TO AVENUE Q!
