Nothing but Music
Uum, this is a romance comedy I made for two friends, Tsubaki-kun and Crys-chan. I hope you all like it!
………………………………………………………………………………………………
This is about love. Yes, you may have read many other stories or tales about love, as such. Like Rapunzel, or Beauty and the Beast. Snow White tells us the tale of how strong love really is; the Princes kiss saves her. Sleeping Beauty is actually quite a copy. A kiss saves her from eternal sleep.
Numerous personnel in the world believe this theory. But the sad thing is:
A kiss cannot help you, for real. It's only a lie.
A hoax
A tall tale
A cover-up
A fib
Just a plain sin.
But what if you do believe that exact kiss will save you?
Many people do, but to earn that truth, they have to wait and come towards it.
And the kiss is very far away.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Kyaaa!" A small Ham-girl chirped as she ran down the hall-way of her school, running like a maniac. Her hair was a bit of a mess, her uniform disordered and she had small dark lines underneath her eyes.
"Crap, I knew I should've studied, and not until the last dumb-witted minute!" she moaned aloud as she sped towards the large staircase of her school. Her breathes were coming in short range fuses, her small, racked chest going up and down like a teeter-totter. She didn't care.
As she flew up the stairs like a speeding bullet, she didn't get to hear a small murmur made by Oxnard, whom she passed…
"Hey, you do know that class doesn't start in an hour, right?"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Damn, damn, DAMN!" Merodi swore under her breath as she reached the slid-in door to her classroom. Her short, noir and blue hair was undone from her small ponytail-tie, and the lines from under her eyes were sub-siding. But the wrinkles on her uniform were still in a horrible condition.
As she neared the door, however, she didn't give a thought about those things, but the excuses she was to give her teacher, Maxwell. And she knew, he did not like newbie's that came late.
"Jeez, why is it that every first day of a grade, I always have to be LATE!" Merodi shouted to herself as she stopped to breath. She looked around, while small beads of sweat rolled off her cheek.
"Hey, this is no time to be looking around the school for cute guys! I have to get to my first block!"
Merodi stood up quickly and started to go down the hallway fast.
Dadadadadadada- was the sound of her feet stomping on the floor as she made her way towards her destination.
Finally, she saw it. The room: 239, AC.
Quickly she grasped the door and flew it open, shouting:
"I'M SORRY SIR THAT I'M LATE, BUT I WOKE UP AT 8:00, BUT PLEASE DO FORGIVE ME!"
--silence—
Merodi waited for a stern response, but none came. Instead, there was a small silence, and then a wave and roar of laughter. Surprised, she looked up to find kids her age and up, slacking off and chatting. She stared in disbelief at the destruction of the class, wondering if her teacher was allowing this. But then…
She noticed the teacher was not even here yet.
"U-Uwaaa?" she exclaimed in disbelief, her large iris eyes wide. She looked around to find a whole bunch of seniors, who were either sluts or bachelors. This made her all of a sudden very frightened.
But just when she was about to be laughed at for eternity, a warm voice called out: "Hey, Merodi!"
Merodi whizzed around to find her two best friends; Crystal and Tsuna waving at her. Crystal was a very pretty Ham-gal with a beautiful chestnut colour. Merodi could compare Crystal to the "bueno" she had earlier. Crystal's hair was clipped to make a long ponytail, held by her lucky flower clip, a blush pink. Her cheeks were always a tint of rose, and her eyes were the high-light of her face.
You see, her eyes were gorgeous chocolate brown eyes, innocent and sweet, with a tint of aqua-green. She was smiling warmly at Merodi warmly and was nudging Tsuna to pay attention to Merodi.
Tsuna was way different from Crystal's beauty. Tsuna looked up from her textbook of Math Physics and smiled softly.
Tsuna was a small, minish Ham-gal, with a glossy white fur coat, but the thing was, Merodi thought, was that on some parts on Tsuna, spatters of black which looked like ink was dotted all over herself. But what made up for those...well, umm, dots, was a creamy white and jaune crescent moon on her back. Tsuna called this her "lucky" moon. Tsuna's eyes were just a normal brown, but around her neck was her true sparkle.
It was a silver chain with a pink quartz heart and a yellow topaz cross. This was given to Tsuna from her dead boyfriend from middle school.
Merodi smiled back at her two friends. She knew them from middle school, and even earlier than that. But she was very close to Crystal, because Crystal was her best friend since she came to the town for the first time. She smiled happily to herself, thinking about the past.
She quickly made her way towards them in a rush, in fear of the senior students. She quickly sat down on a seat, and set her head down to take in deep breathes of air, savouring every one.
"Hey, you ok? It looks like you just got chased by a cat or something." Tsuna murmured, placing a small paw on Merodi's shoulder. For a moment there was a silence between the small group, and then there was a loud out burst from Crystal:
"Oh my god!" she exclaimed, her hands trembling. She was looking in the direction of the doorway. Her big brown eyes were sparkling at who was entering through the doorway.
Tsuna "ahem'd" and looked in the same direction as Crystal and then "ahhh'd" Tsuna smiled to herself, nudging Merodi. Merodi only groaned from her spot, her head set in between her folded arms. Tsuna finally gave up on getting Merodi's attention and then went back to text books mumbling: "Girls and their fantasies…sheesh"
Merodi was busy breathing on her desk, making those little smog clouds on the smooth oak surface the janitor worked to hard to fix up. Still, it didn't matter. She just wanted to shut out the voices of the prisses and wack-jobs ringing in her head. Her shoulder length hair was like loose silk fibres on her shoulders, sliming off so quietly.
She was just about to board the ship to Never Land, until a shout about the class was ringing in her ears. Grumpily, she lifted her head, expecting to see the prisses having a fit or something like a make-out party, but instead what she saw was like a fairy-tale entrance.
There at the doorway were two complete hotties. One she remembered from a birthday party at Crystal's…
"Hey Crys-chan, why is it that you have a picture of that weird guy?" Merodi asked while munching on a piece of brownie cake. Her hair was a bit shorter and in pigtails, and she was wearing a blue and white checked dress and a pair of Sailor Moon sandals.
"Huh? What picture?" Crystal asked, coming to where Merodi was looking .Crystal was smiling so happily because this was her most happiest birthday, almost everyone in her class was here. Her cute pink and magenta ruffled dress looked absolutely adorable on her. But then her smile faded when she had finally noticed what Merodi was talking about. She chirped up and snatched the photo frame from Merodi.
"Hey! What'd you do that for? I was only looking!" Merodi asked in a frenzie, trying to grab the frame back from Crystal. "I just wanna know why you have a picture of Stan from our class!"
Crystal stopped moving and blushed. She set the photo down and sat down on her pink bed. "Merodi. Even If I told you. You wouldn't understand."
Merodi smiled. It was Stan. Hot Stan, Cute Stan, and everything else the girls in 5th grade would name him. Merodi smiled quietly to herself as she studied his appearance. His uniform jacket's zipper was broken, revealing a black shirt and a few gotty necklaces. His jeans were slightly dirty and torn, and in his nap-sack were his favourite maracas. Merodi remembered that Stan was always the winner of the talent show, especially with his sexy "moeru" dance.
Crystal was blushing furiously as he stepped into the room, talking with the other senior popular's in the class. "Stan-kun…" she half murmured and whispered to herself and through her mind. "Stan-kun…it's been 2 years since I've last laid my eyes on you. But deep inside my heart, I know. I could never sum up to those popular hamhams."
As Crystal mentally talked to herself in her head, tears were starting to brim on her eyes.
But while Crystal was goggling over Stan, Merodi whispered to herself. "Crystal-chan, you've tried so hard in the past to win Stan-sama's heart. But this year, since you've helped me many times in the past, I'll help you win that bastard's heart even if it costs my life!" As Merodi said this, her eyes burned up and little anime flames were visible.
"Dookaaa" Tsuna sweatdropped.
Merodi "humph'd" in triumph and then started to walk to her desk. Before she was about to take her seat, something had caught her eye.
Sure, what she saw was Stan chatting with the prisses, but beside Stan was this other guy…
His fur was a glossy wood colour, with a tuft of maroon coloured hair between his ears. His eyes were a beautiful dark chocolate wonder. And strapped around his back was…
"A guitar!" Merodi exclaimed out loud. She was suddenly looking like Crystal, in a fantasy Land, in other words, NOWHERE.
Tsuna watched grimly as she watched her friends go gaga over middle-school crushes and "love at first sight" She sweat dropped and giggled at their silliness, watching them spiral into another dimensia or something like that.
"Pheh. It doesn't matter to me, as long as they don't hurt themselves or anything" she sighed to herself, flipping the pages of her science text this time, reading the physical laws of the human body.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
"Alright class! Sorry I'm late, but please settle down!" a brown hamster with brown fur instated. He was wearing a white over-coat and was carrying a large green dictionary lined with gold trim. Merodi raised an eyebrow in annoyance.
"Oh great. I came to school early, and by accident, just by fear of getting detention by this guy!" she thought to herself while chewing on a pencil she had borrowed from a student that called him self Floss…or something like that. (actually, it was Boss, Merodi is just an idiot)
"Ok, now if everyone would listen, I'm gonna take attendance, so EXCUSE ME!" Maxwell screamed. Everyone in the class shut up. "Ok…now let's see here…"
He started to go down the list of names, which sounded very peculiar to Merodi. Some of them sounded like the type of names 3 year old girls would name their Golden Retriever, like: Cappy
Bijou
Sandy
Snoozer
Or Sparkle! Now that one really scared her.
"What type of owner would name their pet like that!" Merodi retorted, biting harder into the pencil. But then…
She stopped biting into the pencil and looked at it. It looked like it was mutilated, or skinned alive, in her opinion. The orange coat of the pencil was flaking off.
"Personally, I'd rather prefer Pockey." she thought to herself. But then the thought hit her. "I shouldn't be one to judge. They at least HAVE owners. Me on the other hand…"
"Merodi…Um, excuse me, whoever is this Merodi, please, can you state your last name?" a sudden silence was present as Maxwell stated this. Merodi stopped chewing on the pencil as Tsuna and Crystal looked at her. Soon, the whole room was looking at her.
Her fur stood on end. Even the kids with weird names were looking at her, as if mocking her own name.
"Uh…umm…I…" Merodi stuttered, the pencil falling from her agape mouth with a Clik-clak-clak-clak.
Maxwell raised an eyebrow this time in annoyance, folding his arms and doing the traditional foot tap. "Well, sir…I'm…an orphan, sir…"
There was a silence and then a murmur of "orphan" Merodi felt so ashamed. She was clenching her fists so tighty, the knuckles were turning white. She felt the tears starting to brim to her eyes, and she tried to blink them away, but they would not stop…
"An orphan? That's, like, so totally awesome!" a Girlish voice from the middle of the room chirped. It sounded open and friendly, yet healthy. Merodi turned to see a group of girls looking at her openly and friendly.
Merodi had no choice but to smile back. She sat down after an almost eternity. Maxwell just sighed and went on with the list. "Crystal?" he asked, looking at the class. Crystal immediately stood up, smiling weakly at the class. She then noticed that Stan was looking in her direction when her name was called.
Crystal felt herself blush and then immediately sat down onto her seat with a plop. Tsuna giggled at Crystal's immunity towards Stan, passing Crystal a note that said:
"You'd better tell him you like the guy, or else I'll come to assassinate you! Lol, I'm only kidding"

Lunch
"Auuugghh, I hated that stupid Math class!" Pashmina yelled, falling into her seat in the cafeteria. The group of girls were sitting in a huge group. Already, Crystal and Merodi were already friends, giggling and gossiping.
"If you have hated zee Math class, wait 'till you have been in zee Music class. Those two senior students, Stan and Jingle will make you seem so inferior. And zhat Sparkle girl will beat you in any zing that will have to do with either American Idol or Canadian Idol. Her voice eez superior!" Bijou included to Pashmina's complaint between dainty bites of poutine.
Crystal giggled at Bijou's silly accent and Pashmina's hatred towards Math. She was slopping her lemon meringue pudding into a white and yellow fluff; because her attention was directed to the table were some boys were sitting in.
Stan, Hamtaro, Dexter and Spat were chatting away about something inaudible, but it looked interesting, due to the amount of laughs they would throw in. Beside Spat was a snobbish looking Ham-gal, with a large amount of mascara on her eye-lids, too much eye shadow and a fluffy, lavender scarf.
Merodi glared at this one. "She looks like a priss." She paused when she saw her flirt and gabble about more inaudible stuff "and a rotten one, too."
Pepper, one of Merodi's best friends followed her gaze and then understood. "Oh. That there, is Rose Hyde. She's a disgusting on in the inside. And she's had 5 boyfriends here so far. Every girl sitting here at this table absoloutly loathes her."
Pashmina added, with sipping on her Fruitopia beverage" And don't become brainwashed by her either. She's a bitch, and a big one."
Merodi just watched them as they started to get up and go. Then a thought hit her.
"Hey, where's Tsuna-chan? I haven't seen her in awhile." She started to scout for her, looking for the gleam of pink quartz or yellow topaz. But none.
"Maybe she's at the computer lab or something." Crystal indicated, pointing her finger towards the left wing flight of stairs. Merodi smiled and thanked the group of girls for letting her eat with them and then started her way up the stairs.
"Hey…you do know you have just led her to zee other corridor. The "no-students-allowed" corridor. That corridor eez only for student councillors of helpers."
Crystal squeaked.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Tsuna huffed in annoyance as she made her way to the cafeteria. She was furious at the science teacher for making her stay 5 minutes after class just for helping some kid with a question. She was supposed to be fed and working on her newest chapter for her story on ahem…)
The hallways smelled of either men's cologne or old paper. Tsuna growled in annoyance at a grade 12 when he blocked her way to the cafeteria. He quickly made an "eep!" sound and moved out of the rampaging Ham's way.
As she made her way to the order counter, she quickly got out her black purse and her white wallet, fishing out 7 dollars. Quickly she made a thoughtless choice, choosing two things affordable.
Without looking at who she was talking to, she just simply ordered, "Uum, I'll just have a simple box of aemono and a plum onigiri." She paused for a minute due to the silence of her server. She then looked up to see brown eyes looking at her with curiosity.
"U-Uwaaaa!" she yelled, stepping a meter away from the young HamHam. His fur was a shiny black, with a golden tuft of hair hanging from his head. Instead of a normal hamster tail, his tail, which was a jet black, was bushy and tied into a sharp ponytail.
He seemed to be interested in the assignment folded in between her arms.
Tsuna was taken back at first by his good looks, but then…
"YOU PERVERT! YOU LECHEROUS CREEP! HOW DARE YOU GET NEAR TO ME THAT CLOSE!" Tsuna screeched, attracting the attention of many passer-bys.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Merodi walked down the cold corridor quietly, rubbing her arms occasionally, due to the chill looming around the hall. Sometimes, she would slip and yelp like a wounded dog, her voice echoing throughout the hall.
"Kyaaa!" she piped, slipping on the stone cold floor, falling flat on her face. Her face was starting to grow sore now, and when she felt her face for anything hurt, she felt something warm trickle onto her finger tips and knuckles. She gasped in surprise and tried to wipe away the red liquid off from her forehead, but the bleeding seemed to not stop.
"Oh dear…I f I don't get this cleaned up, I'm not going to be able to attend gym." It was true. Even though gym was the most fun ad exciting thing for all HamHams, the gym teacher, who was Sandy, had a soft spot for people who were hurt. Especially if those people were her friends…
Merodi jolted up to her feet to find any first aid dorm in the corridor, running and sometimes smacking into pillars or walls. Soon, the bleeding was starting to get much worse, her vision clouding, and her senses dying. But when a sudden sound of a strum of a guitar was heard, Merodi stopped. It sounded like something she had heard on the radio while in a store or something. Was it Never Ending White Lights or whatzits? (Lol, sorry. My family loves that guitar song)
Yes. It was the song she would sing along to every time it would come on. It was her favourite so far.
Then it occurred to her! Instead of getting to the nurse, why not die with her favourite song? It would be better of, for she was already the humiliation of the class, and a complete idiot. Why not? She was obviously going delusional, delirious. She was thinking about death, but she was only bleeding physically, not internally.
She walked quickly to the room, which was lighted brightly by the light of the sun. She had to shade her eyes from the sun reluctantly, trying to get her eye-sight to adjust to the sudden angelic brightness. Once the sight before her was clear she gasped in surprise to find that dream guy from the class. She blushed and quickly stepped back in surprise to try and hide her bloodied head from him in the dark.
He only stared back at her like a calm elk that knew it was going to die. His intense brown eyes pierced her in some sort of way which made her weak. After an almost eternity, he only sighed and went back to strumming his guitar, often looking at her between notes.
Merodi just stood there, mouth agape and eyes wide. His pose was perfect, and his tuning was just spectacular! She thought to herself. He seemed so peaceful until Merodi spoke up, shattering the silence:
"Uum…hi…I'm Merodi…And I really like your songs."
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Ka-chiick
Crystal closed her locker in a glum state, sighing as she did so. She felt horrible for giving Merodi the wrong directions, having a useless crush on the most hottest guy in the class, and…well, she'll think up a third reason. Crystal gritted her teeth in annoyance at the nearby clanking. Where was that sound actually coming from?
"Auuugh! Why…Can't…I…Get…Things…RIGHT!" a nearby voice yelled in frustration. Crystal quickly turned her head to see a frustrated looking…
"Stan-sama!" she exclaimed in shock, trying to hide her face from him with the door of her locker. Her face was the colour of a red beet, in a sauce of red pickle juice. In other wise, a charming red.
She watched in horror through the little slits of the locker as Stan came up to her locker.
"Hey, can you help me out with my locker combination?"
……………………………………………………………………………………………
(Hey, I can't make a story that's based on all OC's, so I have to dabble, too)
"So, who do you girls, like, is totally obsessed with one of the guys in our class?"
Sandy whispered to their mini-group that they had formed with their desks. Most of the girls in the group blushed but some retorted.
"Me? Infatuated with some guy!" Pashmina exclaimed with fake horror, making the whole group laugh. But after a small mini-minute, she blushed and started to fumble with her fingers. "Well, there are some guys I have a crush on…" she trailed off.
Bijou was the next to talk. "You guys should all know by now zhat I have ze large crush on Hamtaro." She turned a furious red and looked at her orange and white crush, mumbling some indistinct French fantasiastic stuff.
Pepper smiled in triumph when it was her turn to talk. Of course, everyone knew that she was infamous for already having such a loyal boyfriend for 3 years straight. She smiled then turned to Hannah who was giggling at all the girlishness they were doing.
"Dexter is my Kushi-kuu, and you know it!"
Nobody noticed Pashmina's smile fade. Hannah noticed this and then added:
"But Howdy is more formidable, since Pashie-san goes for the nerds…"
"What!" Pashmina squealed with anger and she started to jokingly pull at Hannah's hair, laughing girlishly at all the fun she was going to have with this new year at school.

Next Chapter…
"Uum…hi…I'm Merodi…And I really like your songs."
Jingle looked back at her in a lazy way and smiled. "You know, it took you forever just to say that. 2 songs, actually." Merodi smiled bashfully.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
"4, 8, 6, 9 and 5" Crystal said out loud as she undid Stan's locker combination for him, blushing a tomato colour, knowing he was watching.
"There! It should be easy to open now!" she exclaimed aloud, wiping her forehead. Stan smiled his casual smile and whispered a quiet thanks and started to lean in and kiss her.
On the cheek.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Tsuna sat quietly underneath the bright pink cherry tree, trying to recover from the sudden shock she had in the cafeteria.
Suddenly, that HamHam from the cafeteria was all of a sudden, right beside her with a bento full of takoyaki He looked shy and was starting to murmur something.
"Hey, I'm sorry for scaring you. I was just curious about you. Do you want some?"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Sandy blushed as she picked up her fallen papers after bumping into Maxwell. He chuckled quietly and started to help her.
In one moment they were laughing. In the next, their hands brushed together and they were silent…
