Alright! Time to combine two of the most tragic animes I've ever seen together! Oh, and since in the canon Clannad takes place in 2003, I've had to change it to the year 1985 for the two animes to coincide with eachother. However, I don't think it will affect the story much.


April, 1985

I hate this town. It's to full of memories I'd like to forget.

Everyday it's the same thing. I go to school, goof off with my friends, and come home to an worthless man I'm ashamed to call my father.

I sigh as I begin to walk up the cherry blossom-covered hill to my school. Will this cycle ever change?

As I walk up the hill, I notice an orange-haired girl I've never seen before. We're both already late for school, so she's probably a delinquent like me. I pretend to ignore her and begin to walk past her, to reenter my boring, unoriginal lifestyle. But, it seems fate had other things in mind.

"Colonel Sander's statue!" the girl said suddenly, causing my head to turn her way. What the hell was she talking about?

Her nervous look turned into a frown. "The world is such a cruel place. It takes all the things you love and cherish. Eventually, it even takes away the people you care about the most. And there's nothing you can do about it."

I didn't know if she was talking to me or just to herself, but I responded anyway. "What are you talking about? If you really love something enough, don't let the world take it from you. Fight for what you believe in!" I've never been very philosophical, so don't ask me where that speech came from. "Now come on," I begin. "let's get going."

I continue my hike up the hill, and the girl begins to walk next to me.

I sigh. Well, I did wish for something new to happen.
