Scott Pilgrim
Kim's Shining Star

Chapter 1a - The Movie Star and the Video-Store Girl

January 1, New Year's Day...

Walking in the winter filled city of Toronto, evening time, like 7:00 PM, was a young man with a brown jacket, white T-Shirt with the Sonic the Hedgehog icon one his shirt, blue jeans, and brown high-top converse shoes. His hair was black and purposely messy. He had black headphones wrapped around his neck, his iPhone in his coat pocket and a keychain wrapped around the belt strap. He wore shades to make himself look cool. However, he was cool. Don't believe me? Ask the thirty people following right behind him. They'd tell you if he's cool or not. The majority of them were girls who squealed like fangirls while guys yelled trying to get the man's attention. He simply smiled at the attention given to him. Also following him was his two personal bodyguards who, of course, dressed in black and white and wore shades. Cliche right? One man and his girlfriend showed up in front of him with a pen and DVD case in hand.

"Um, excuse me... Would you... I mean you don't have to... But..." The man was struggling to get his words out. His girlfriend didn't seem to care for she would've been in the same situation if she was talking. "Can you sign this DVD Case?!" He finally screamed.

The young celebrity chuckled. "No, I'll do you one better!"

He snapped his fingers and one of his bodyguards pulled out a old fashioned camera that printed out the picture after taking it. The celebrity wrapped his arms around the two fans and smiled. His fans smiled nervously, unaware of what he had in mind. The bodyguard snapped the picture and out came the image. The celebrity took the pen away from his fan and signed the picture. He gave the signed picture to his fan and smirked.

"Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod!" The male fan squealed like a pig seeing the signature on the image. The celebrity took the DVD Case away and began writing on the cover too.

"And because I'm in a good mood today," The celebrity began. "I'll sign this too. Ciao!"

The celebrity began to walk away as his two bodyguards and expanding crowd of fans followed. The male and female fan looked at the signatures on the photo and DVD case. It read: "Tyson Armstrong" with Sonic the Hedgehog's logo next to the signature. The movie on the DVD Case was The False Devil Inside Me.

This was Tyson Armstrong. He is a well-known famous actor from Hollywood who started out small and eventually rose to the top gaining millions and quickly becoming rich. He gains more money each successful movie he stares in. He also voice acts in cartoon animation films and won plenty of rewards for his excellent voice acting and general acting in live-action films. He's also a great chiptune music composer, stuntman, and excellent flyer in the skies and driver on the ground. However, his appearance in films is what rose him to the top. For some reason, this celebrity decided to visit Toronto. 'What could be here in Toronto?' I bet you're asking. Well, let's follow the famous celebrity to find out.

Tyson Armstrong stopped walking and turned around to over 100 of his fans. He cleared his throat and began to speak.

"Excuse me my loving fans!" He yelled with good projection in his voice. "I am here in search of someone special! Does anyone know who Scott Pilgrim is?"

Like, a dozen hands rose. Tyson picked one hand in particular, a girl named Sandra with her companion, Monique. "I know him! I know him!" Sandra cried.

"You do? Then do you know a girl named Kimberly Pine?" Tyson asked a follow up question. "Of course!" Monique replied back. "Where do you think they would be right now?" Tyson spoke his last follow up question.

"Maybe at No-Account Video!" Sandra yelled back. Tyson smiled and clapped his hands together. "Perfecto! To No-Account Video then!" Tyson said as he walked with his bodyguards and still expanding crowd of fans following (The whole town might follow this guy at this point. Like, half of the population here is following him!)

No-Account Video, Local Video Store...

Hollie Hawkes, the 26-year-old who works at the local video store, stood at the counter, bored out of her flipping mind. She lied on her arm on the counter with her hand supporting her balance as she tapped the counter endlessly. She was definitely bored. For some reason, the store was open at this time of night. People could probably see why Hollie was bored, especially when people rarely come to the place. Even Scott Pilgrim stopped coming after a while.

Suddenly, she heard loud cheering and chanting outside her store. She stood up in surprise, as the cheering and chanting got louder every passing second. Soon, a guy came in front of the store, entering it. The fans stayed outside as his bodyguards made sure they didn't follow him inside. Hollie eyes widened at the man who entered the store.

"Oh. My. God. Are you... Tyson Armstrong?!" She asked anxiously. He fixed his shades into place (as most guys with shades or glasses do for cool points. That reminds me: Cool Points +5! YEAH!)

"You are not mistaken." He grinned. He shook her hand as she chuckled. "I can't believe you're here!" Hollie exclaimed. She seemed very out of character at the moment. In fact, she was acting like all the girls in that crowd outside the store screaming their ass off. Tyson looked around a noticed that only one of his movies were in the store. "Huh, that's odd."

Hollie looked over at Tyson, confused. "What's odd?" She asked. "Considering this is a video store, I would of thought that all of my movies were in here. There's only one here and that's the Furiously Nightmarish movie I did a few years back..."

"Oh! That's because there's this guy and he ordered like the majority of them and we only had one copy of each movie you stared in." Hollie explained. "Well, except for that one. We had two copies."

"Ah. Okay. Anyway, I am here looking for someone. I was hoping you'd help me." Tyson asked scratching his cheek with his finger. "Anything." Hollie said.

"It has come to my attention that Kimberly Pine works in this video store, No-Account Video. I don't seem to see her anywhere, however."

Hollie got a little questionable when he mentioned her name. What was she involved in that got Tyson Armstrong's attention?

"She doesn't work here anymore but she does come here sometimes. However, I do know where she's at. She told me she was heading to Sneaky Dee's with her friends."

Tyson looked at Hollie with a stern look. "Is Scott Pilgrim there too?"

"Of course. They're friends. May I ask how is that you know these two?" Hollie asked, forgetting that the person she was talking to was in fact a famous celebrity (Which means he should be treated with respect and kindness... So he says since he will treat others with respect and kindness. It's his little rule to be nice to others unless they are threatening him).

"Let's just say, I'm an old friend who wants to see the two after nine long years..." Tyson said as he turned and waved to his helper.

Sneaky Dee's

Inside the restaurant and concert venue, a band known as The Mega Contrband had finished their little song. The crowd cheered at the mixture of heavy metal with chiptune, something that happened a lot lately. Soon, a orchestra group appeared and began to play orchestra music. Nobody didn't seem to mind since it sounded nice. The 25-year old young guy named Scott Pilgrim sat in a booth with his loving girlfriend Ramona Flowers, his best friends Stephen Stills and Kimberly Pine, and his former roomate but still gay friend, Wallace Wells. Today was Ramona's birthday and her closest friends came to wish her a happy birthday and drink their asses off. A few things have changed but not much over the past year or so. Kim returned to Toronto a month after Scott defeated the seventh and final evil-ex, Gideon Gordon Graves. She currently lives with Scott and Ramona in her apartment. Stephen continues to work at his job, Happy Avacado, with Scott. Wallace seems to keep his job (as a telemarketer? We don't know.)

Their dinner had came and everyone took no hesitation on the suddenly delicious food served to them. Kim had a sly expression over her face as she looked at Scott.

"So Scott. When do you think you and Ramona will get married?" Kim asked.

"Good. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like him changing too much anyway." Wallace said winking at Scott, who was openly disturbed as he was just finishing his burger.

Suddenly, loud cheering came from the entrance of Sneaky Dee's. The gang looked over at the entrance to hear about fangirl-asm (fangirl screaming I mean) towards a young man entering the place. Two bodyguards followed him and made sure the fans didn't get too close to the man. Ramona's eyes widened in pure surprise. "Holy crap! Is that him!?"

"Who?" Scott asked curiously without keeping his eyes off the guy walking.

"That's Tyson Armstrong Scott! Don't you remember? You ordered like five of his movies so we could watch them! One of them was a live-action film influenced by anime and manga?" Ramona reminded him.

"Holy crap! The guy who starred in The False Devil Inside Me is here!? Cool!" Scott cried, covering his mouth with his hands.

The celebrity looked around and through his shades, he found the two people he was searching for. He only knew one girl with freckles and red hair and he only knew one guy with that hair style and a shirt referencing video games. He walked over to them as his bodyguards pushed the fan army back to give him space. Ramona began to squeal.

"Oh my gosh! He's coming this way! EEEEEEEEEE!" Ramona squealed, seeming a little out of character (who knows, she might act like this sometimes). Armstrong stopped at the gang's booth, smiling at them. Ramona's eyes morphed into golden stars while Scott's got puppy like as he stared at him. Kim didn't seem to care, though Stephen and Wallace waved anxiously.

"Hello!" Tyson greeted. Ramona screamed and pushed Scott out of the booth and got in Tyson's face. "Hi! I'm Ramona Flowers! Nice to meet you!"

"Ah, the pleasure's all mine Ms. Flowers. Such a lovely name for a flower such as yourself." Tyson commented as he lightly kissed her hand. SMOOCH. Ramona's cheeks flushed in red having a famous movie star kiss her hand. Scott, on the ground pouted, having been pushed off the booth chair. He didn't seem to have seen Armstrong kiss Ramona's hand.

"Scott Pilgrim. It's been too long." Tyson said. Scott got on his feet, raising an eyebrow. "And Kimberly Pine, looking cute as ever."

Kim looked over, looking just as confused as Scott. She gave a little sarcastic laugh. "I'm sorry, but do I know you?"

Tyson's chuckled. "Oh, ha, ha. Very funny. Sarcastic as always."

"Seriously dude. Who are you?" Kim asked, sounding very unamused.

Tyson's smile dropped. "Yeah, am I supposed to know you? Uh, formally I mean." Scott added on. Tyson rubbed his hair in nervousness. "You... You guys seriously don't remember me?" He asked in panic.

"Other than that badass film you starred in, no." Scott chuckled tensely.

Tyson's heart dropped. But he kept his cool. He took off his shades and placed them in his pocket. "You don't recognize me at all?" Tyson asked once more.

Kim stared at him blankly. But her mouth slowly opened as she recognized his face. Looking at his clothing, she knew something was familiar about him. "W-wait... Tyson...? Tyson Armstrong...? From St. Joel's Catholic High School?" She asked to ensure she was right about his identity.

Tyson sighed in relief. "Oh thank goodness. I was hoping I was completely forgotten."

"Kim, you know this guy from High School?" Stephen asked.

She nodded her head. "Back in school, like, at the beginning of the junior year, he became my partner in Media Class."

Scott sat back in the booth and finished his orange soda, pouting a little. "I never met this guy in my life!" Scott yelled in his mind.

"Please, sit by us! Tell us the story of how you know Scott and Kim!" Ramona insited. She dragged him towards the seat next to her and Scott. The whole booth was filled now since all six people sat in the booth.

"Okay, but let's start at the very beginning... Before we start... Victor! Moritz! Keep those fans back and quiet! Thank you!"

His bodyguards nodded and started yelling at them to keep the quiet and calm.

"Okay, story time!" Tyson said with a grin.

Tyson Armstrong was known as a 'social-outcast' for years. He has never been able to make friends with others. However, to make up for that, he was incredibly smart. He has gotten himself straight A's. No A-'s, no B's, C's, D's, and definitely no F's. He was very smart. No body chose to befriend him in school. In High School, he eventually stopped trying and became emo, sorta. He wore spiky wristbands, black jackets, shirts with skulls on them, and black boots. Truth be told, he didn't want to be emo, but he was treated that way anyway. He did, however, get rid of them by Junior Year. He met Kimberly Pine in Media Class during the first day of school in Junior Year. He became friends with her in school and sometimes, although rarely, outside of school. Unfortunately, Tyson had to be transferred to a new school in California because his parents decided to move from Canada. This transfer occurred in the middle of October.

After graduating High School and College with success, he decided to become a actor in small-time plays based on legendary stories. He did a play on the Hunchback of Notre Dame. It so happens the Hollywood producer, Brandon Gargon was there and he was intrigued by Tyson's acting skills on stage. He was offered a job in Hollywood and there he preformed in films. He first appeared in the film, Zero Point, as a soldier who plays a small yet important role. His character, Asher Tragon dies tragically near the end of the movie because of his determination to save his country. It was war based.

After the success of that film, Tyson Armstrong starred as the main character Xeno in the live-action film The False Devil Inside Me. Anime and Manga was influenced by the film and takes tons of inspiration from the Devil May Cry franchise. The director, writer, and concept artist, Toshi Yamagami, designed the main character Xeno randomly and it just so happened the character looked a lot like Tyson Armstrong. He was chosen for the role because of the resemblence. He was perfect for the role. His co-star, Rolan Vendetta, worked very well with Tyson and the two were perfect. The movie was a total success and Tyson (along with Rolan) got totally rich. He has at least a billion dollars because of his success in future films he stares in. The False Devil Inside Me ironically got a anime and manga adaption and even a video game based on the film. Strangely enough, Tyson's second to last film produced before going on vacation was a romantic-comedy called The Ultimate Loser and the story was similar to his life. Like the instant hit anime/manga influenced movie, he got rich off the film and people loved it.

After finishing his latest film, Tyson Armstrong took a break from the acting career and decided to visit Toronto in search of two friends from nine years ago. This is the modern story. You know, currently.

15 Minutes after telling some of his story...

"You... became a movie star?" Kim asked, sounding a little happy over the news. She was, however, bitter over the fact that he didn't tell anyone of his departure.

"Yeah. It's fun being noticed and meeting new people each film I star in." Tyson said.

Wallace sighed like he was falling in love. "I'm pretty sure you was some gay guy in that one film weren't you?" Wallace asked.

"Um, no, ha ha. I played as the gay guy's friend. He's Robert Sparks, and he's a pretty nice guy once you get to know him." He admitted.

Scott sighed in frustration. "Okay, so you had a very cool life after graduation College, whoop-dee-doo."

"Scott Pilgrim, are you jealous?" Ramona asked. "Jealous?! Please! Why would I be jealous of him?" Scott asked, seeming like he would panic anytime soon. "Besides, I beat up tons of guys just to be with you Ramona."

"Whoa! Whoa! You did what?" Tyson asked in surprise.

Scott smirked a cocky smile. "Oh, is it my turn to tell the story?" Scott said, cracking his fingers.

READ THE BOOKS SOMETIME. SERIOUSLY. SCOTT'S STORY IS IN THE BOOKS! READ THEM! I'M NOT EVEN JOKING! BESIDES, I'M PRETTY SURE SCOTT WILL TELL YOU TO READ THEM ANYWAY. Wait... Why is he telling Tyson Armstrong the story then... Oh crap... Scott's actually telling a backstory. Okay, let's just stop with this random segment...

1 hour, 30 minutes later...

"Then we jumped into Subspace and left for a while. We came back like a month later because... Well we wanted to live here, right Ramona?"

Ramona nodded. "We got bored so we came back here."

"So you see, Tyson Armstrong, I fight against real people, not actors... Except for Lucas Lee, but you get my point." Scott cockingly said.

Tyson's eye twitched. "Wait, wait, wait... What does that mean?!" Tyson asked, anger in his tone.

"I'm just saying you may look like an awesome fighter in those movies but do you really have that type of skill?" Scott asked, sounding rather smart.

Tyson was offended by this. "Listen, Pilgrim. My fighting skills are second to none. I can beat up anyone who pisses me off!"

"Then let's settle this outside!" Scott said, leaning towards the movie star.

"Are you going to fight? Seriously?! Scott!" Ramona said as he tried to stop him from getting up. "Scott Pilgrim! Challenge accepted! We'll take this outside!" Tyson said heading to the back exit.

"Here comes a pointless fight..." Kim mutters under her breath. She and the others get up to follow them.

The battle took place in the alleyway beside Sneaky Dee's. Tyson Armstrong's crowd of fans had no idea he left thanks to his bodyguards distracting them.

"Be careful Armstrong." Kim warned him with a smile. "Scott Pilgrim won't lose a fight so easily. He's the best fighter in province."

Tyson merely winked at Kim, making her twitch. "WTF!" She says to herself.

"Best fighter in province, huh? Then this battle shall be worthy, right Pilgrim?!" Tyson said pointing at him. Scott simply shrugged, not really caring. He knew how the battle would end.

"Mr. Pilgrim. I think you should know something before this battle begins. I own a sword of my very own. However, I promise not to use it in battle for that'd be too easy! Unless, you want to use a sword. Your choice."

Scott was deeply offended by this. "Don't be a pussy! We'll fight the old fashion way!"

Rushing towards his opponent rather recklessly, Scott throws the first punch, aiming for the face. Tyson merely moves his head to the side and presses his hand on Scott's chest, pushing him back rather far. The audience, Ramona, Kim, Stephen and Wallace, were surprised by Tyson's knockback. They were concerned a little after seeing Scott pushed back so far, but they knew for sure Scott would win. Scott stood up from being knocked to the snow-covered alleyway floor and shakes off the snow from his coat. Scott gets in his battle stance and waits for Tyson to make a move. Tyson reads Scott's eyes and gives a small smile. Scott was irritated from the smile given to him, but he keeps calm at the moment. The moviestar walks over to Pilgrim, ever so calmly. Scott begins to rush forward again the second his opponent twitched. Scott jumped and flew at him with a kick. Tyson grabbed Scott's foot and threw him on the ground with such great force. The spectators watched in awe as Scott was thrown onto the ground like a rag doll. His opponent only made two counterattacks and already, Scott felt so much pain coursing through his body. But that wouldn't bring him down, not in the slightest. Scott lied on the ground, struggling to get back up, or so it seemed. Tyson knelt down, looking at Scott face to face.

"Should we quit now? I mean, you're already-"

Scott cut the sentence short with a hard kick in the face. Tyson covered his face, crying in pain. Ramona looked at Scott who hopped back on his feet, more hyper than ever.

"Trying to call it quits now?" Scott yelled at Tyson. "I'm not through yet!"

Tyson removed his hand from his face, revealing his nose bleeding. He wiped it with a napkin from his jacket and tossed it into the garbage. He didn't look as hurt as he expressed earlier.

"I see... Mr. Pilgrim, I've totally underestimated you." Tyson admitted, clapping his hands. "Your pals weren't kidding when they said you were the best fighter in province."

Scott smirked. He was getting a little too cocky for his own good but he didn't care not one bit. He's beaten up plenty of people to earn that title. He lost very few battles and he sure wasn't going to lose this one. Tyson removed the smile from his face, expressing a serious demeanor.

"But if you want to get serious, then let's put the toys away and fight like the men we are!" Tyson said as he ran forwards. Scott did the same, screaming at the top of his lungs. The two threw their fists at each other and when they collided, the force pushed them backwards. They didn't stop though. They rushed at each other again, this time with different attack plans. Scott jumped into the air, preforming the Shinku Tatsumaki Senpukyaku move from Street Fighter. Unfortunately, Tyson blocked each of Scott's flying kicks and returned fire with a double punch and the Top Kick move from Sonic Battle. Scott was pushed back again, but not very far for Scott stopped himself from going too far. Scott smiled as he ran again and kneed Tyson in the stomach. Tyson's guard was down and Scott took this opportunity to use the Vulcan Punch, a Ralf Jones' move from King of Fighters. Finishing the awesome combo, Scott punched Tyson so hard, he was sent flying this time. Tyson slid on the snow, making large tracks as he slid. The snow was pushed onto Tyson's back and revealed the black floor of the alleyway. Scott's friends cheered for him, especially since he took his opponent down.

"Go Scott! Don't let him beat you!" Ramona cheered.

"You got this Pilgrim!" Stephen added on.

Kim simply smiled. She was happy to know the fight which started totally randomly was going great for him but she now started to feel something for the man being beaten. Why was she caring anyway? Sure, he was a friend to her back in High School, but he wasn't very important. Okay, that sounded a little harsh after hearing the story from him. He didn't exactly have a very nice lifestyle when it came to society. Still, she just didn't really care for him back then. He was just another classmate who was only that. However, his departure was brought back to her. Isn't quite odd that he leaves immediately after her and Scott become a thing? She wanted the answer and she knew she probably wasn't going to like it.

Tyson got up from Scott's attacks and to Pilgrim's surprise, he didn't seem too affected from Scott's kickass combo.

"Okay!" Tyson began dusting himself off. "No more playing around!"

Tyson rushed at Scott at such speeds, Scott couldn't even stop to think about how fast he was moving. Tyson grabbed Scott and he could see the battle intensity in his eyes. In mere seconds, Scott lied on the ground, bruised. Scott's friends couldn't believe it either. What did this guy do to Scott? It was like Tyson had hypersonic speed.

"Do you like it Scott?" Tyson asked with a smug face. "My special move? It should be familiar to you of all people. It's the Shun Goku Satsu, or in English, Raging Demon. You play Street Fighter don't you Mr. Pilgrim?"

Kim slapped her forehead. "I'll never understand how these men could mimick Video Game techniques so easily. It's impressive, yet dorky."

Scott slowly got up. "Why didn't I recognize it before? I'm such an idiot!" He said, slapping his forehead, imitating Kim.

"How about now, Scott? Want to stop now?" Tyson asked cracking his knuckles. Scott's eyes raged in flames. He jumped on his feet and backed away from his opponent. He reached into his chest and brought out the Power of Understanding, a sword he once used to take down Gideon Gordon Graves. (Guts +1! Heart +3! Balls +2! Such awesome power Scott!) Things were getting serious if Scott was bringing this blade out.

"You're kidding, right?!" Scott yelled swinging his sword and aiming at his opponent. "You think after you land a few blows on me, you can end the battle? I'll take you down with this blade and prove that you sir, are a weak enemy that needs to be knocked down a peg!"

Tyson fluffed his jacket a bit. He clapped his hands together and slowly spread them apart, forming a large blade. When the blade finally materialized, Tyson gripped the handle. He wielded it around pointing at Scott Pilgrim in a similar fashion to what Scott had just did.

"So you want this to be a blade battle afterall. Very well. I wasn't all talk when I said I had a sword of my own. This is the Nebulous Blade, formed by my dark power!" Tyson said. (Strength +10! Defense +3! Heart +1! He's totally overpowered! Unfair!)

Scott and the others' eyes widened. What type of power did he possess?

"What is this? Are you a bad guy or something!?" Scott asked, gripping the blade tighter.

Tyson Armstrong ignored his question. He did explain his mystery power. "I got this power when I got sick and tired of being alone. I dub this power, DARK POWER. The day I received this power, I wanted to use it to entertain people and bring happiness. Sounds odd, right? You know, considering I have dark power! However, I will use my power to get rid of those who piss me off! You, Mr. Pilgrim, are a worthy opponent, and it'd be my honor to tear to shreds! Not literally of course..."

Scott truly felt honored (for some reason). He gripped his sword and dashed at his opponent, screaming again. Tyson ran after him, screaming as well. They were fierce fighters and they wanted to settle the battle here and now. As soon as their blades collided a large flash of light, appeared over the spectators. The gang covered their eyes as the light nearly blinded them. As their eyes were covered, they could faintly hear the sound of a sword whirling around quickly. They opened their eyes as soon as the light disappeared and they could see a blade falling from the sky. It stabbed into the ground, through the deep snow. Ramona gasped as she could easily recognize that sword as Scott's. Everyone's eyes widened noticing the sword in Scott's hands were now stuck on the ground. Scott was motionless, easily having loss his sword. Tyson took no hesitation and preformed the Ranbu (Wild Dance) on Scott Pilgrim, a deadly move from Mega Man Zero 3. Tyson realized he went too far and sheathed his sword back to his own little realm (perhaps Subspace maybe? Who knows...). He grabbed Scott's hand and helped him on his feet.

"I went a little too far, huh." Tyson told himself as he tried to balance Scott on his feet. Scott suddenly awoken from his daze and shook his head. Tyson stared in awe as Scott stood on his feet again, standing tall and strong, yet weak.

"I'm not... done... I haven't truly... shown my true strength yet...!" Scott weakily told Tyson. He was very impressed at Scott's strong defense and will. However, the battle dragged on a little too long than he wanted it to. And besides, he knew for a fact if the battle continued on, Scott would've surely won. He probably would've exploded him into a million coins like he has to Scott's past enemies.

"Yes, we are. This battle is a draw." Tyson declared. "This battle was pointless from the very beginning. Let's act like men and not fight for petty reasons. I mean, I know I'm a good fighter and I don't need you to tell me that I'm not!" Tyson laughed as he slapped Scott's back. Scott rubbed his back and chuckled. "I honestly had a little fun with this pointless battle." Scott admitted.

"You're totally great! We should be friends!" Tyson said. Those words were almost the same thing Lisa Miller told Scott Pilgrim back in High School after he got beat up on his first day. "Yeah?" Scott replied.

"Dude. We're buds! No, Battle Bros.!" Tyson said with a geeky tone. "Ha, ha, yeah." Scott nervously said as he shook Tyson's hand.

"Oh, by the way..." Scott began. Tyson looked at Scott curiously. Suddenly, Scott had a paper and pen out and big grin across his face. "Can I have your autograph!?"

Tyson chuckled to himself. "Course." He said signing his name onto the paper. Scott looked at the signature. His name was in cursive with Sonic the Hedgehog's face logo at the end. "Finally! A famous movie-star's logo! (This totally beats Lucas Lee...Even if I never did get his autograph)!" Scott squealed.

Finally, Scott's friends rushed over to him and helped him on his feet. "Scott, are you okay?" Ramona asked in concern.

"Are you kidding? I'm great!" Scott yelled in happiness. "This feeling in my gut feels totally great!"

Ramona quickly looked at Tyson which made him look away in fear. He did just realize he beat the crap out of this girl's boyfriend. "Oh man... Please, don't be mad at me, Ms. Flowers." Tyson said nervously.

"I'm not mad, so don't worry." Ramona told him. A evil smile formed on her face though. "Next time though. You'll be facing me if you hurt him again, got it buster?" She told him, pressing her finger on his chest. To think that a girl like her could scare him. "Scott, you got yourself a woman there, hehe." Tyson told him, chuckling nervously.

Wallace Wells grabbed Scott's cheeks and squeezed them tight. "It looks like you need more training. You've been losing your edge ever since you beat Gideon." Wallace said treating Scott like a baby. "Wallace! It's only been like a month since we beat that guy! And by we, I mean me and Ramona!" Scott exclaimed.

"One YEAR actually. (How can you think it's been a month?) You seriously need to train daily if you want to be on your toes. I mean, you got your ass beaten by a movie star." Wallace said.

"Fine! Fine! FINE! I'll train if it'll get you to stop babying me 'Mommy Dearest'!" Scott pouted.

Soon after, everyone was heading back inside for some food or maybe even some drinks (Who knows? Maybe even Scott might drink... (I doubt it though)). However, just as the famed movie star was about enter back inside, he was pulled back. He was shoved onto the wall by Kim Pines who had anger in her eyes.

"Kim? What's the problem?" Tyson asked. "What's MY problem?! What's YOUR problem?!" Kim barked. "You leave St. Joel's without telling me, years later you find me, and soon after, you beat the crap out of my best friend!"

Tyson didn't know what to say. He really didn't. It made him feel like the bad guy, beating up Scott Pilgrim (Holy XXXX that really makes it seem like he's the bad guy!).

"If it makes you feel better, if the battle continued on, I would've exploded into a million dollars or something." Tyson said, struggling to get Kim's hands off his jacket. She gripped them tighter, not letting go so easily.

"Zip it! I have questions and I want answers! You WILL answer them, am I clear?" Kim commanded. Tyson just nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me you were transferring to different schools?" Kim said, releasing her grip from Tyson's jacket.

"I, um... I di... Err..." Tyson was having trouble speaking to her. What was his problem? (Nervousness: Over 9000...Seriously, the joke is getting ancient)

"Talk dammit!" Kim barked. "Do you know how hard this is for me to talk to you of all people?" Tyson cried innocently.

"What's THAT supposed to mean?" Kim scowled. She was probably going to knock his teeth down his throat... At least, that's what she thought in her mind. She honestly wouldn't do that for the sole factor that she'd probably get in trouble or something with Tyson's lawyers or whatever. "It means... Well, I'm just nervous...!" Tyson admitted.

Kim rolled her eyes. "What type of movie star gets nervous to talk to a single girl?"

Tyson growled as he covered his face with his hands. He removed them from his face and spoke to Kim.

"Listen, this is going to sound totally random to you but... I liked you okay?" Tyson said, removing his nervousness. Kim stood there, backing away from him a little. She expressed a angry yet confused look. She sighed and held onto her forehead.

"I'm assuming you like, LIKE me, right?" Kim asked. "Please, tell me what you're getting at before I seriously hurt you."

Tyson nodded. "First off, I'd like to say I have a slight personality disorder. I had this while I was in California, don't ask how because I won't/can't answer. You may have not noticed it before, but my personality disorder is what got me and Mr. Pilgrim fighting."

"Drop the Mister and Miss thing. It's getting on my nerves. Anyway, you have a personality disorder. Fine. I want to hear about what I asked though." Kim said with a irritated tone.

"Okay, okay. I don't remember too much as you know from my story that I told a little while ago, but I'll try my best... In High School, you became my media partner and... we seemed to work together well... And I... Uh... I respected you for actually caring about me back then and... You... You meant a lot to me and I sorta developed a crush on you at some point..." Tyson rubbed his forehead. Revealing the truth was giving him a headache.

"When I found out that you were dating Scott Pilgrim, I was broken. I was intending on telling you about my crush before transferring schools but I was too much of a pussy to tell you."

Kim crossed her arms. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She felt kinda flattered to know someone thinks of her that way, but she was angry over the fact he was hiding his feelings like this. No girl would want a guy like him who holds onto his emotions like that. Okay, maybe a girl or two would but the chances are slim.

"You're damn right you're a pussy. You don't realize how easy it would've been to tell me sooner. You didn't bother telling me of your depature. I did care about you back then. I may have been a little cold towards others, but I was willing to make a few friends back then. It's because of the fact that you were lonely I chose not to kick you in the nuts and tell you to piss off. Seriously, I remember trying to be nice to you and all during your troubles."

"I'm a changed man now Kimberly... I came to Toronto searching for you." Tyson said fluffing his jacket once more.

"A changed man, huh... How'd you know I lived here now?" Kim asked curiously.

"Apparently, your status on Facebook told me. You apparently haven't used that account for at least a year but I figured you'd still be here." Tyson told her.

"(He really checked my old facebook account? I don't even use it anymore... Wait... Do I even HAVE a facebook account?!) Why did you come here anyway?" Kim asked, her arms still crossed.

"After finishing my most recent film, I came here because I wanted to get something off my chest. Listen, Kimberly, I really like you. I've liked you for years and I can't get you out of my mind. You drive me crazy!"

"Uhhh... What's your point?" Kim asked, getting creeped out a little.

"I came here to ask you out on a date... or are you in a relationship right now?" Tyson asked.

"I'm not in any relationship right now." Kim told him. "Oh, okay. So-" Tyson said excitedly. Kim interrupted him, finishing his sentence.

"Will I go out with you? I could honestly say no and tell you to leave... But, I won't do that. It depends on what we'll do." Kim said, blushing a little. (OH MY GOD! WHY IS SHE BLUSHING!? SHE LOOKS SO CUTE! Ahem, um, yeah, she might kill anyone saying that out loud. Even me, and I'm just the random narrator who doesn't get paid at all. Then again, she doesn't even know where I live so... Oh crap, I got you readers sidetracked did I? Um... Forget what I said, okay?)

"I'm a movie star! We'll go out on a fancy dinner to the most expensive resturant around! I'll take you to go shopping at wherever! Maybe even see a movie, whatever you want!" Tyson exclaimed.

Kim sighed. She had to think about this. It'd be better to date a guy she knew rather than some random guy who just asks her out upon meeting her. Tyson Armstrong was someone she knew of course. She would say no after ditching her back in High School, but she could see how desperate he looked. She had hoped he wasn't obsessed with her though. However, Tyson WAS a Movie Star and therefore, he's rich. Although it's messed up to date someone because he's rich, she could probably get him to buy her some things she wanted. If she did go out with him, she'd probably learn a little more about him and this mysterious "dark power" thing he has going on. She began to question how Tyson got this rich from acting in films. She didn't truly believe he got that much money from a film. She put the question on hold for a later time. After a minute or two of silence, Kim sighed once more.

"Okay, fine. I'll go out with you." Kim finally said. Tyson stopped looking on his phone and smiled brightly. He seriously was texting random fans on Twitter while Kim stared off into space. Fortunately, she didn't catch him texting as that'd be rude. "Really?" Tyson said in a cheerful tone but in a way that Kim doesn't know he's too excited.

Kim nodded her head. "When is this happening and what time?" She asked looking away. "Friday evening. 6:30 PM." Tyson said quickly. "I'll pick you up around that time. So, you know, get ready. Oh yeah. Where do you live?"

Kim sighed one last time. She was having mixed feelings about her decision to date this guy, especially after a long time apart from him. Deep down inside, she hasn't fully remembered him and she almost doesn't care to remember him.

Back inside Sneaky Dee's, Kim sat next to her drunk friends. Seriously, all of them were drunk. Wallace was so drunk he was... doing something that cannot be said here, even if it wasn't that bad. Let's just say he wasn't with the group at the moment and was on the dance floor or something. Kim snatched the tequila from Scott's hands and took a swig from it. She gasped for air, slamming the bottle on the table.

"Kim, you look upset..." Scott said, scratching his hair and trembling a bit from the bottle of tequila. "No, Scott Pilgrim, I'm not upset at all. Everything's just peachy...!" Kim sarcastically replied.

"Kim, what's the matter?" Ramona asked, drunk off her ass. "And where's that Tyson guy?" Stephen asked, his all of his hair stuck upwards for some reason.

"Gone. He went back to wherever he's staying at in Toronto." Kim coldly responded.

"What's the matter?" Ramona asked again, nearly passing out from all that tequila. "Did Tyson do something bad to you?" Scott asked, wiping the drool off his chin.

"No, Tyson did nothing bad to me. However..."

Everyone leaned in closer, the suspense filled around them. Kim looked at each of her friends. She placed two fingers between her eyes.

"...He asked me out on a date... and I said yes... He'll be coming to pick me up at around 6:30 PM on Friday."

Ramona and Scott gasped in shock, while Stephen passed out, dropping on the floor. (Surprisement Level Over 900- No, I'm not doing that again. Seriously, such an old meme)

"Kimberly Pine, you got a date?!" Ramona said in awe.

Kim rolled her eyes. "I've dated plently of guys Ramona. One of them just happens to be your boyfriend!"

Ramona squeaked like a mouse, having the bad case of the hiccups. "Oh... yeah... That's right..." Ramona said before nearly passing out again.

"No more tequilla for any of you." Kim said snatching the bottles from her two "awake" friends. They both moaned in disappointment, craving for more of the drink.

"Friday, huh. This should give me plenty of time to get ready." Kim said to herself as she took one last swig of tequilla and tossing it into the garbage chute.

References

The False Devil Inside Me: As told in the chapter, the live-action film Tyson Armstrong starred was influenced by anime and manga and especially the Devil May Cry franchise. The character Tyson played as, Xeno, was like Dante.

The Mega Contraband: The name of the band is based on Mega Man and the term Contraband. I was literally thinking of the video game franchise Contra. Contraband was also thought out from the name of the Super Fighting Robot boss from Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game since the track name for that theme is called Giant Contraband Robot.

Sonic the Hedgehog: As obvious, Tyson Armstrong, like Scott Pilgrim, is a video game fanatic. Every signature he signs, Sonic's icon is next to his name. He even wears a T-shirt with Sonic's face on it.

The Fight: During the meaningless fight, Scott and Tyson used moves from various video games: Street Fighter, Sonic Battle, Mega Man Zero 3, etc.

Over 9000: The ancient joke is clearly referenced here twice. Came from Vegeta yelling over 9000 after figuring out (Son) Goku's power level from his scouter in the Dragon Ball Z franchise.

Author's Note

I've been reading the color edition of the Scott Pilgrim books. I enjoyed the crap out of them. It's my all time favorite book series now. It's like a love letter to video gamers everywhere. When I was 10, I had the opportunity to watch the movie in school, but I instead choose to play Goldeneye 007 on my N64 that I brought from home. Now, I own the movie and I'm going to get both the Color Edition of the Scott Pilgrim books and the originals (You know, for collector's sake). I don't know whether or not to get the original color edition of the books or the evil edition version of the books that I found out existed. I'm choosing between the two.

Anyway, I choose to make this story because I wanted a love interest to Kim Pine. Totally random yes. But I felt like Kim didn't get a lovely happy ending like Scott, Ramona and Stephen did. So, Tyson Armstrong is created. I didn't want to interfere with the past too much, so I made it so that Tyson was that forgotten friend that no one seemed to care about. I'm studying the official characters so I can make sure I can get their character personalities correct. So, I'm reading the Wikia's and reading the books a lot.

I have an intention of making 6 to 7 chapters each with 2-3 parts in each chapter. Think of these chapters as volumes I suppose.

You tell me: Am I doing good so far? Please review and give me criticism. You don't have to lie to me either, hehe.
