SDP: Yo, it's me again! But wait...this isn't A New Game... You are correct, this isn't but it is a new story I call Sweetest Addiction.
People: Why another one when you are still busy with A New Game?
SDP: It's just something I wanted to do! Plus this is, i hope so, a better style of me. Don't fret A New Game is going to get it's new chapter soon! I just wanted to change things up and write a story with a mysterious plot.
So without further ado, here is the disclaimer: I do not own Hyperdimension Neptunia, that goes to Idea Factory and Complie Heart, and any other things mentioned go to their respective owners. I only own the OC's. Here We go!
Worlds…...what truly makes up one? What defines it? Well, many can answer with their own perspective on it. Though, for the sake of this one, we'll call it a…..refresher. There are said to possibly be an endless multidimensional universe, so what separates this one from the rest? [Leans into to speak softly to the reader] It's a mystery for many reasons. [leans back] Don't believe me? Well, friend, why don't you follow the highschool adventures of Crystal Tokushima and her strange life. What? It sounds like something a stalker would do? Trust me, this will be different and not….creepy on any level. So, are you ready? Then let's being the sweetest addiction….
3rd POV
Saturday, September 15 , 20XX. 10:30 AM
"Destruction….so much destruction….." Said a black haired, 17 year old girl, whom stared upon a whole town she once lived in being destroyed.
There was nothing she could do, her legs seemingly just froze in place and wouldn't move. In front of her, she saw her friends and family, hurt and trying to fend off the evil entity whom was destroying everything around her.
"There is nothing that... ANY OF YOU CAN DO! HA HA HA!" Roared the entity.
Then, out of seemingly nowhere, fire started to cover land and began to envelop the land. The last thing she saw was a something that looked like a fireball heading towards her and a bright light….
-Beep! Beep! Beep!-
"WAH!"
Jolting awake, a messy black haired girl awoke from her disturbing dream to the sound of her alarm clock wailing. Pressing the button to turn it off, she rubbed her eyes and notices that there was a stained tear stream coming from them.
"I was crying," she said surprised, "well that's just kinda embarrassing now isn't it."
After trying to cheer herself up from her nightmare, the girl got out of bed and opened her curtains. She was met with the bright protruding light of the sun from her huge windows.
"Geez, how long did I sleep?" She then looked at her own custom made digital clock and it read 10:32 AM. Her eyes then widened and she sweatdropped at her realization of something.
"Great, Aurora is going to kill me…." sighing at her predicament, she prepares to get herself ready for the day.
After about 30 minutes, she heads downstairs and sees her father, messy bedhead hair and all, sitting at the dining room table drinking a cup of grape juice and looking at his tablet.
"Hey dad," she calls to him, and he take notice of her and looks up. "Did you just get up as well?"
"Yeah, just about 15 minutes ago. Anywho, how are you doing today Crys?" asked her father.
"I'm doing wonderful, but I think one of my friends is going to 'kill me'" answered 'Crys' with a guilty look plastered all over her face..
"Might I ask the reason, why?" her father asked while looking at her with a questionable look.
"I said I would meet her at the park, along with Sophia, at 10:30," she then gently fidgeted with her fingers. "But,...I kinda...as you can see...slept in and I'm now 30 minutes late."
He just blinked and then looked at the clock in the dining room.
"Well, you better quickly find something to eat and then go meet them there."
"A-alright!" She stops and wonders something. "Did mother leave anything for me to do while she is at work?"
"Oh, Josephine?" he stated, "Yes Crystal, she did ask you to clean up around the house when you get back and do a few other things as well."
"Ok, I'll make sure to get that done dad!" Crystal replied promisingly. "Oh, I better get some food now!"
-A few minutes later-
Crystal had now just left out the front door for her house, and after saying goodbye to her father, was quickly running to get to the park. She had to pass by many places in which she would usually stop at say hello to the people there, but she promised herself later she would come back.
"These city streets of San Japancisco only seemingly are hard to navigate when you have to get somewhere important…" whined the girl.
"Hey, Kris how you doing?" said a owner of a store whom she passed by and made her stop for a quick second.
"Great, thanks for asking Mrs. Ryans!" she replied, "See you later!"
"Your welcome, you have a nice day~" Said the woman waving at the girl as she departed.
Her short encounter with the woman only slowed her down a bit. So, after using all the energy she was able to muster up, she had finally made it to the park where she looked for her friends.
1st POV Crystal
"Now," I say, still trying to catch my breath, and all while trying to calm myself down from that insane running stunt.
"Where in the world might Sophia and Aurora be?"
I start walking through the park, passing by children, families and couples until I spot the blonde I've been looking for.
"Hey, Aurora!" I yell trying to get her attention. "Over here!"
She then turns to see me, gives a nudge to Sophia, then walks over to where I am.
"My, my, Crystal, we were just about to leave and go do something else. I can only presume you slept in late again, right?" She asked slightly glaring me.
I let out a nervous laugh with my sentence.
"Haa...You know me….." I stop my pathetic laughter and turn back to see Aurora still annoyed.
"Look I-i'm sorry Aurora, I got caught up in my project I'm working on and I went to bed super late. Can you please forgive me?" asking sort of pleadingly here, I just hope that does it.
She let's out a sigh and finally says. "Yes, Crystal, I forgive you."
"Thank you!"
"Just please, refrain from doing it again and don't leave your friends waiting." She added with sending a look towards me.
"Y-yes, I promise, and you know I always hold up to those Aurora!" I say with a look that assures my words.
"Yeah! But, the problem is you make so many Kris!" budded in brunette next to Aurora in a upbeat manner.
"I at least uphold to all of them! Also, how are you saying my name Sophia? You know the spelling." I question the girl
"Oh! I spell it K-R-I-S!" Sophia answered with a smile and then stuck her tongue out in a teasing manner. "It just sounds cooler that way!"
"You know I hate it when someone gets my name wrong." I sigh at the predicament know there is nothing I can do about it.
"I can't believe my entire family suffers this..,my mother's friend always gets our last names wrong, mother get's called Vert by most people, and my nickname is said totally different from how it is spelled.."
"Calm yourself down. You seemingly take that too much to heart Crystal." Aurora says at me with her normal relaxed expression.
"Anyways, since we are all here, shall we get on with what we had planned?"
"Yes!~"
"Now that I'm here, yeah let's get this group going!"
So, with that said, we went on from the park to walking around town talking about how there was an upcoming dance in October and was wonder who we all were going with.
"I'm gonna go with Trance!" Said the upbeat brunette.
"Him? Isn't he that child of the two famous DJ's, Sophia?" Aurora's expression changed to that of unsure.
"Yeah, I think my father was friends with them.." I added onto Aurora's statement, and gave it as a somewhat answer to her question.
"Well, he's cute and I'm gonna ask him to go!~" Soph got more excited as her hands moved up to her blushing face in a daydream look.
"Hey, don't go full on Reiko, Soph." I said jokingly as she was acting like that certain character.
"Oh, quit it Kris!" She said while giggling at my statement.
"What about you Aurora?~" Soph turned to Aurora with a look of interest and somehow walking backwards perfectly without hitting anyone.
"Oh, I haven't truly decided on it yet. I might possibly go with that boy Jordan." She said while have a troubled look.
"Don't think to hard Aurora!" I commented with a smirk.
"Says the girl who does that 24/7." Aurora said as a quick response to crush my self esteem.
"H-hey!" I say with an embarrassed look and my cheeks rose red.
"I'm sorry Crystal, it was gonna happen at some time." Getting a light smile of reassurance from Aurora, I felt a little better.
"What about you Crystal? Since we both told who we are and might go with, it's only appropriate to ask." Aurora said with the calm look again.
"I might not go..." I blatantly said.
That got a shocked expression from Soph, and Aurora just looked...well normal…..calm.
"Wawawawawa….What?" Was what came out of Soph's mouth in a stunned look.
"I'm sorry, but there is just no one I'm interested in." I say normally but then turn apologetically, " I'm sorry to the both of you."
"It is quite ok Crystal, we both respect your choice." Aurora said so motherly, it made me question if she was a noble or a true mother.
Smack!
I must have not know where I was walking, but then all of the sudden I run smack into someone and they fall down on the ground. This someone was a petite looking girl, with messy light purple hair, and beautiful magenta eyes.
"Owieee…." the girl responded with rubbing her face, which must be where she collided with me.
"I-i'm so sorry!" I say while offering her hand to help her up.
"It's okaay, it was only an accident.~" The girl said with a small smile as she grabbed my hand and got back up.
When she got up again I took a good look at her and she was a few inches short than I was. Another thing I noticed was her interesting clothes, and they struck me as pretty extravagant…...wow….
"Crystal, could you please stop staring at the girl you helped up?" Aurora snaps me back into reality. With that I slightly blush and apologize again.
"It's fiiine, my clothes are something you don't see everyday~." she says looking over herself and giving a small smile
"N-no, you are just different in your own way, and I think it is pretty neat." I say to try make her feel better.
"Oh, by the way I'm Crystal Tokushima, and you are?"
The girl remains silent for a second and then replies,
"You may call me Plutia!~"
"Well, it's nice to meet you Plutia!" I say smiling at her. I then here a cough right behind me; I then turn to see Aurora giving me her 'look'.
"Whoops, and these are my friends," I point towards Aurora and Sophia's direction, "Aurora Shirayuri, and the brunette is Sophia Quaterheart!"
"It's nice to meet you both!" She said, in what I now noticed, slow speech.
"It's nice to meet you too!" Sophia was saying very excitedly, "Sorry for Kris' odd behavior! She's always a little strange!"
Sophia then laughed a bit and kept going while Aurora spoke calmly.
"It is a pleasure to get to know you Plutia."
3rd POV
Once the trio of girls were done introducing themselves to Plutia, Plutia gave a soft smile to them. Though there was something on Crystal's mind that she had to ask her.
"Hey, um Plutia."
"Yes?" She answered
"I was wondering, where are you going….well before I ran into you." Crystal asked, even though she was still feeling guilty about the whole ordeal.
"Oh! I was off to buy some games for my cousin!" The purplette replied with great enthusiasm in her voice.
"Who's your cousin, Pluts?" Sophia said as now gave the girl a nickname.
"Pluts?" Crystal said turning and giving Sophia the most weirded out look as she could possibly make.
"Yeah, I always have to give someone some sort of cool nickname!" She responded with and Crystal just rolled her eyes.
"It's fine! I like it, and could I call you Sophy?" Plutia asked Sophia in hopes she would agree.
"Of course! I love it when people give me a nickname!" She said with a small squeal.
"Sorry...we kinda got off topic again...he he, but my cousin is Neptune Tanaka by the way!~" said the slow speaker with a great sense of happiness.
"NEPTUNE!" The trio said as they yelled out in surprise.
"Y-yes, she is.." Said Putia, though more timidly as she was startled by the outburst.
"S-sorry about that Plutia, I'm just surprised to find out you're cousins to someone who is the younger owner of SEGA!" The black haired said with awe.
"I know! It's so AMAZING!" Squealing even more, Sophia was overjoyed by this.
"Ok, calm down ladies, I know this is a great encounter, but we are going to scare poor Plutia to death with our excitement. "
Aurora's voice then snapped the other two out it and back to the main topic.
"We apologize for our estrange actions miss Plutia." With that Aurora bowed and the other two just said sorry. [Wow what jerks XD]
"It's okay, I'm used to this kind of reaction."
Plutia had kept a unfazed type manner throughout the whole ordeal, as to show how much she's gone through this type of thing many times.
"I could imagine, I mean I'd get the same reactions if I let someone know is was the daughter to a world famous DJ/EDM Artist and the owner of Microsoft." replied Crystal in the most nonchalant way.
"Then that must mean you are very special!~" praised Plutia as she brought her hands together and made a amazed look.
Crystal gave of a soft blush at her statement, and sweatdropped. She hadn't really expected for this girl to say that. But it was admiration at the least.
Aurora just gently shook her head at Crystal's look and Sophia was to distracted with talking to Plutia to notice. Aurora had seen enough here and called attention one last time to say.
"Well, we have truly, thoroughly enjoyed meeting you miss Plutia. But, I'm afraid we must be on our way."
It was a talent that this blonde had that she was able to regather the situation back to it's focal point. Crystal was just amazed by every time she noticed it.
"Okay. I'm sorry for holding you up, and it was nice meeting you all. See you later!" Plutia softly spoke to the trio.
"Bye, Pluts! See ya around!"
"It's was nice meeting you."
"May you get to your destination, safely."
Once all had said their goodbyes, the trio watched as Plutia walked down the sidewalk a bit and then turned the corner vanishing.
-A WHILE LATER-
"Wow what a great afternoon!" The brunette said quite loudly.
"Yes, I did thoroughly enjoy it." added on Aurora as she was satisfied with what her friends did.
"Yep! It's always fun hanging out with friends and makes the time fly"
Crystal then looks at the watch on her arm and realizes she needs to get home soon.
"Sorry guys, I have get going. I promised dad I would do the things mom asked me to do."
"That is understandable, so may you have a good rest of the day Crystal. Goodbye." Aurora's respect made Crystal feel a bit better about having to leave her friends. She started slowly started walking home waved bye.
"See you at school Monday Kris! Bye!" yelled Sophia as she waved good bye to her.
As she then got out of view from her friends and was closer to home, she started think about her encounter with Plutia. How unexpected it was and how they somehow were both related in some way to big company people.
"I'm just probably overthinking it...he he…."
Though she still tried to put it together….
"Why don't you bring me someone new.
Bring me someone new….."- [Unlike Pluto - Someone New (feat. Desi Valentine)]
