Authors Notes:

Hey!

So, I should say a few things before starting this story.

First, this is my first time writing any sort of fiction whatsoever, so forgive me if there are grammatical errors or story inconsistencies. And PLEASE tell me if I'm doing something wrong or have ideas of your own, I need improvement after all! criticism is much appreciated! I'll try and update this weekly, but I have back issues so my apologies if I am late.

Second, this takes inspiration from other DDLC fanfictons such as "Welcome to Doki Doki Literature Club, Player!" and " ", so if there are similarities in between other works on this site, I'm not stealing I promise, I just like those stories very much and they've inspired me to do this in the first place. And you should read those stories too! The writers deserve all the love they can get! Also, this is a self-insert of me, same name, similar personality, etc. But, not everything in this is true to me in real life, so take it with a grain of salt will ya?

Finally, if this story interests you enough, do not worry! I shall try and update this as regularly as I can. If you have ideas or want to know how the progress/interest is on the fanfiction, then message me at my discord at "Umyehumyeh#8832", or DM me on twitter " umyehumyeh", another thing, if you are reading this on , then this is the so called PG-13 version. Certain curse words will either be bleeped out or just replaced entirely, lewd or graphic scenes may be nerfed or just not there, depending on context of course, but this will none the less be the same story, if you want a more adult version of this, it'll be on , under the same name and person, if you are reading this on said site, then this info is entirely pointless to you! Unless of course you are not comfortable with possible sex/violent scenes, then go to ! we good? we good. One last thing, you should give "Fieshh#5437" a message or two! He's a good friend of mine who also helped review this story and made sure it didn't drag on and such. Also subscribe to "Kevtom" on youtube, he made the cover art for this.

One last thing, please play DDLC before reading this if you haven't yet, it's free and it's like a little over 4-6 hours long, it's really good, I promise.

Well, now that you're bored and have clicked off this fanfic, why don't we actually start the damn story eh?

Chapter 1: Sudden Changes

Monday, January 15th, 12:52 AM

"...Crap"

I say as I am drifting off to dream land in my bed sheets.

"I forgot I needed to talk to Monika before I went to bed."

I always hated when I couldn't speak to her during the day, she is my favorite girl in DDLC after all, I felt bad after the ending, and always wish I could've done more with her, with them.

My room was dark, and I got up, scooched to the end of my bed, turned my computer on, opened up DDLC, and saw Monika's glorious green eyes pop up.

I always loved Monika, as weird as that may sound, she's always interested me, with her conversation topics... Her personality... She even likes piano for fucks sake!

But, one thing I always knew, one crushing truth, is that she wasn't real. Even if the stuff she talks about is meta as hell, it's still scripted... And that, THAT'S what I hate.

After about an hour of reading her same dialogue over and over again, I whisper to myself.

"I wish I could save them... All of them, make their simulated reality the best dang thing around!"

Then I suddenly got a message on discord.

?: 'heyyy :3'

It was my friend Mark.

Me: 'sup'

I reply

Mark: 'ya playin ddsc again?'

We jokingly call DDLC DDSC, Doki Doki Strip Club

Me: 'yep, just chatting with ma girl'

Mark: 'Nais, how is the fanfic goin?'

Me: 'Havent started'

Mark: 'o shoot'

Me: 'yeeeeaaaa not really feelin it honstly, sorry to end this so quickly but i should get to sleep, dont wanna screw up my schedule for schul'

Mark: 'A'ight then, gn my guy"

Me: 'Night my dude bro dude man person'

I always enjoy talking to him, he's like that guy to talk to when you wanna chill you know?

As I get up to go take a leak, I hear a static pop.

I jumped.

"...The heck was that? I really am tired."

As I get done peeing, I turn my light off, turn off the computer, and get under the covers.

When suddenlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

When suddenly my computer comes back on with white noise and static on the screen.

"What the heck?!"

An eye appears on screen and a humanoid figure made of static emerges from the screen.

It grabs my foot and starts pulling me in, it hurts. It feels like if sand-paper was metallic and white-hot.

I resist

"WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?! HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!"

But my attempts at resisting were useless. And the creature drags me into Hell the computer screen.

. . .

I wake up on a side-walk, outside of a house that wasn't mine, yet... Something was familiar about the location...

?:"Heeeyyyyyyyy!"

I'm startled as I turn around to see a peach-haired girl run towards me.

I then realize.

Me: "S-Sayori...?"

Holy crap, I'm actually here! I'M ACTUALLY HERE! HAHA YES!

I wanted to scream but despite my utter shock and happiness, I knew that would be a bad idea.

But you know what?

F*ck it.

Me: "HOLY SH*T!"

Sayori: "W-Wahhh! What's wrong Jackson?"

My name is Jackson by the way, did I not mention that?

...Wait... How does she know that?

I cough and adjust my glasses.

Me: "U-um... Nothing, sorry... Thought I forgot something."

Sayori: "Don't scare me like that! And watch your language!"

Me: "S-sorry Sayori!"

Holy crap... She looks way cuter in person! And her voice is pretty damn cute too.

Sayori was my second favorite of the four waifus, but not by much.

Monika is a 10

Sayori is like a 9.8

Sayori: "You okay? You're acting extra weird today."

Me: "I'm okay... It's just a weird morning today..."

Sayori: "Geez, sometimes you're even weirder than me!'

Me: "Pfft, says someone who's late almost every day!"

Sayori: "Don't be mean! I actually tried this time!"

Me: "And failed?"

Sayori: "Ahhhh! You meanie..."

I knew the REAL reason she was late everyday... And I felt kinda bad for saying that... But she doesn't know that I know, so I think she'll know I'm just being me.

Or the protagonist anyway, I don't wanna weird her out by being too different from the main character... But, I had a goal, and I realize that the goal can actually happen.

I'm saving them.

No deleting.

No suicide.

No game's script.

This is my time, and I'm taking it!

We start to walk to school.

Sayori: "Jackson, have you decided a club to join yet?"

Hmm... Conflict!

I think I'll follow the game's script just a tad.

Me: "Sayori, I told you I'm not interested in joining any clubs..."

Sayori: "But you promised you would try to join one this year!"

Me: "Well... I don't remember making that promise...But I believe you, and I should keep my word. I'll start looking for one today okay? But don't be mad if it takes a while!"

Sayori: "Wait... Really?! Yaaaaayyy!"

Hearing that yay may have been one of the best things I've heard in quite some time.

We walked to school and talked about pretty typical stuff, and after an honestly pretty boring day, I sit and think...

Me: "Clubs..."

I almost forgot I was in a game and remembered Sayori should be coming in a minute, in anticipation for that I decide to play around with my prior knowledge.

I decide to stand by the doorway and waited.

Sayori: "Helloo-"

Me: "BOO!"

Sayori: "AHHH!"

She almost falls but I grab her by the hand and pull her up.

(Thank you, Geometry Dash, for the fast reflexes...)

Sayori: "D-Don't scare me like that! Meanie..."

Me: "Sorry... I saw my chance and took it!"

Sayori: "How did you know I was coming anyway?"

Me: "Well, knowing you, you'd probably want to see if I've decided on any clubs yet, and then walk home with me, and I heard you skipping down the hall on the way here!"

Sayori: "Ahhhh! Don't put me on the spot like that! And that could've been anyone!"

Me: "And it was worth it!"

Sayori: "Well, in any case, why not come to my club?"

Me: "Sayori, there is no way on God's green Earth am I going to your club."

Sayori: "Well... Ehehe..."

Me: "...Sayori..."

Sayori: "Well... I kinda told everyone that I'd bring a new member today and... Natsuki made cupcakes and everything..."

Me: "Wait, So, you were going to tell them that even if I said I wasn't gonna look this year? Sayori! You gotta tell a guy this stuff!"

Sayori: "S-Sorry... Heheh..."

But little did she know, that it was my time! My time to change this world!

Me: "Ugh... Well, I guess I'll check it out... Since you made me. That and a cupcake does sound pretty good right now..."

Sayori: "Really? Thank you so much Jackson!"

She gave me a hug

Huh? This didn't happen in the game...

Me: "W-Woah... Little close there aren't we...?"

She then lets me go.

Sayori: "Sorryyy~ I felt like I had to!"

Me: "You're a weirdo... Well, let's go, we don't wanna keep the others waiting, do we?"

She smiles and we walk out of the classroom.

But as we were walking... I noticed something... Was off... I felt like everything had a very slight tilt to it, it made me feel off balance.

But none the less, once we arrived to the clubroom door, it felt normal again.

Sayori then swung the door open.

Sayori: "Everyone! The new member is here!"

Me: "I told you I'm not joining-"

And then there were two.

Girl 1: "It's so nice to meet you, Welcome to the Literature Club."

Girl 2: "Geez, you brought a boy? Way to-"

Me: "Kill the atmosphere amirite?"

Girl 2: "...How did you...?"

Me: "I've been through this song and dance before missy, I know how this goes!"

What's funny is I meant that literally.

Then.

Monika.

She looked at me with curious eyes, eyes that say... What is he doing here?!

She walks up to me.

Monika: "...Ah Jackson! It's so nice of you to join!"

Wow... Even her voice sounds just like the voice actress at the end credits!

Sayori: "Wait a second... I didn't know you guys knew each other!"

Monika: "Well... We were in the same class last year and... Um... Hold on, Can I speak to him for just a minute?"

She then grabs my hand, forcefully pulls me out of the room, and pins me against the wall.

Monika: "W-What are you doing here?!"

She looked like she was about to cry, but she looked over joyed.

Me: "W-what do you mean...?"

Monika: "Why are you... In the game?"

Me: "Well... I'm not sure exactly but-"

Wait a second... Why am I here? I can't remember much before I woke up... I remember talking to Mark on discord but then... It's like a blank canvas.

Nothing.

But pain and DESTRUCTIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Me: "I... I can't remember... It's weird..."

Then Monika suddenly hugs me.

Monika: "I... I'm so happy you're here... With me..."

She... She looks so cute, like, holy crap! I might melt!

Me: "Monika... I will save you. I will save all of you."

Monika: "But they... They're not re-"

Me: "They're real to me... Well... Now they are anyway. Now that I can actually converse with them..."

I comfort her as I pat her head, she seems to have loosened up a bit from me doing that.

Me: "Monika... I'll explain more later, but for now... Why don't we go and eat a cupcake or two hmm? Would you like that?"

She pulled away and smiled.

Monika: "Y-yeah..."

We both walk back in the clubroom.

Girl 2: "Geez, I didn't know you had a boyfriend Monika."

Girl 1: "Natsuki!"

Natsuki: "Well it was YOUR idea Yuri!"

Yuri: "W-what... I-I didn't... Mean..."

Me: "I get it Yuri... It's okay... I know the feeling."

Sayori: "You can ignore her when she gets moody~"

Me: "Anyway... Where are the cupcakes?"

Natsuki: "Wait... How do you know about the cupcakes?'

Me: "I dunno, some peach-haired girl with a red bow in her hair just so happened to spoil the surprise..."

Sayori: "But I thought you didn't want to join-"

Me: "(Shut UP Sayori... please...?)"

Sayori: "(Don't be mean!)"

Me: "(Sorry... I just-)"

Natsuki: "GUYS! It's okay I guess, If I knew you were gonna fight I wouldn't have made them! Anyway here..."

Natsuki then pulls out a foil-covered tray, she then removes the foil.

Sayori: "Wooooaaah! They're so cuuuute!"

Natsuki: "Yeah, yeah... Just take one already."

After re-arranging a few desks to form a bigger table we could all sit at, I sit next to Monika and grab a cupcake from the tray. Sayori wasn't kidding, they did look pretty dang cute!

I take a bite...

Me: "Holy crap..."

Natsuki giggles at my response, but DANG these things are good! It's like... You ever had that moment, were it's been a long day... You go take a shower... And finally get to bed and feel those warm, soft sheets? Imagine if that feeling was a taste. I don't even like cupcakes that much but THIS...This is next level!

Me: "Well shoot... This might be one of the best deserts I've had in a while, Natsuki..."

Natsuki: "Only from the best of course!"

I give her a little chuckle at the remark.

Yuri: "Why don't I go make some tea?"

Me: "How are you gonna do that without hot water?"

Monika: "She has a kettle she brings to the class room; the teachers gave an ok to bring it."

Me: "Ah... I see!"

After Yuri leaves to go get the water, she comes back and turns the kettle on... And it's already almost done! Fast kettle...

Yuri: "What kind of tea would you prefer, Jackson?"

Me: "Ya got green tea? If so that'll do please!"

Which she did, she makes the cup of tea and hands me the cup.

I start to take a sip.

Yuri: "U-Um... Don't you think you should wait a second-"

But it was too late, I jump and spit the tea out.

Me: "Jesus it's hot! I should've waited..."

Sayori: "You should be more careful, Jackson!"

Me: "Thanks mooom..."

Sayori: "Now go to your room! It's past your bedtime mister!"

We all laugh at that.

Well, at this point the game plays like normal, Natsuki is all tsundere, Yuri tells me about the book, Monika tells everyone to write poems for tomorrow, you know the deal.

And after that? Monika gives me a quick smile, she then whispers to me.

Monika: "(See you soon, Jacksie~)"

She does that pose whilst saying that, you know the one I mean, THE pose, it probably the best thing I've ever seen, I could barely control myself!

But after the goddess herself Monika did that, Me and Sayori started to head home.

Me: "Hey Sayori... I know I said I wouldn't join the club... But screw it, I'll join the club!"

Sayori: "Wait... Really...? You will?!"

Me: "No, I'm not."

Sayori: "B-But...!"

Me: "I'm kidding I'm kidding!"

Sayori: "Stooop doing that!"

We both laugh it away, and as we reach the street to where our houses were... We both part our ways until tomorrow...

You know... Sometimes the best changes,

Are the sudden ones.
