Let's Chat! : Blue Version

"What can possibly go wrong?"

Oh God, never ever say that phrase to yourself; you're only confirming the inevitable misfortune you're bound to face. A lot was about to go wrong…or perhaps right in a strange way. Anyway, the boy who just pressed his luck was sitting at an innocent-seeming screen. Seeming being the key word there. He was just about –oh there he finished- to register for an instant messaging system on the requests of his friends. They had been talking in a chatroom for quite some time, and after a long stubborn battle, they encouraged him to join.

After ten minutes of trivial questions, he was finally ready to log in. After setting up and connecting his e-mail account, he immediately received his first message. Thinking it to be his eager friends, he opened it without a second thought and began to type. At the bottom of the screen the words "MissRandomLuck is typing appeared on the bottom of the small window". The person on the other end responded first.

"Hello, Sonny-kun!"

"Hello?"

"How are you today? It looks sunny out. I like it when it's sunny."

"Okay?"

" Question mark?"

"What?"

"You keep asking me questions, silly billy. "

"No, I haven't."

"Well, everything you said had a question mark on it. …You can't see it, but I'm pouting! Cute pouting!"

"Okay. Here's a real question. Who is this?"

The replies to the boy, apparently named Sonny, stopped their frenetic pace. He was about to reply again, finding this mildly suspicious, but was distracted when a second user signed on – NiGHTSintoDreams. This new user then proceeded to chat him up as well.

"Good afternoon, Sonny."

"It's 9:00 PM. "

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Haha…It's still light out here. I don't know if it even gets dark here."

" Huh?"

"Ack! I've said too much. You talk to him, VV!"

Sonny stared at the screen as the two fumbled with replied of "Not it!". These weren't his friends, were they? Then again, they did know his name… He pulled out a list from his pocket, remembering that Miles gave him a sheet with all the usernames of his friends. Oh great! Just as he feared! Strangers stalking him and saying weird things! Better give them one last try.

"So who are you two?" Sonny finally asked.

"Well, I'm NiGHTS," the one with the name in the screenname replied.

"And I'm VV!" MissRandomLuck added.

What kind of names were those? "That's it. I'm outta here!"

"Nonononononononononononono!" MissRandomLuck typed out quickly.

"Hey! Wait! Hear us out here, will you?" NiGHTSintoDreams insisted.

Sonny didn't, closing the screen immediately. However, his curiosity got the best of him, and he couldn't refrain himself from reopening the window.

"NiGHTS-kun! You scared Sonic-san away! Now we're never gonna get him back!" VV complained, thinking he was still gone.

The other typed a smiley face with its tongue sticking out, a defiant yet playful gesture to the girl talking to him.

"Be serious."

"Me serious?"

"….Hehe. Neither one of us are too serious, are we?"

"Nope! But that makes us more fun than bores than geezers like Owl."

"Yeah! Owl-sensei is borrrring!"

"Boring."

"But. Maybe we shouldda got his help…. Sonic-kun left. Now how are we supposted to bring him back? I miss him."

"I'm sure he'll come back, VV."

"He doesn't even remember us."

"He doesn't even remember anything."

"I guess."

"Cheer up! We still have plan B!"

"PLAN B! You sure you can't come for it?"

"Still gathering energy for the trip. I'm sure you'll be fine."

"Thank you, NiGHTS-kun."

"You're welcome!"

"I'm sure if we try hard enough, Sonic-san will start remembering."

"I hope your friend gets his memory back."

Both instantly stopped at that last reply. Sonny had worked up the nerve to reply to them, although he instantly regretted it. Both seemed ecstatic, replying as fast as his regret set in.

"Sonny-kun! You you you came back! I'm so happy! So happy!"

"Oh! Hello again! You came back to us?"

He paused, unsure how to reply, not really knowing what was going on. Behind the keyboard, Sonny sighed with defeat.

"I guess."

"Gomen! I'm so sorry for scaring you off!"

"Ha! So you did scare him off!"

"NiGHTS-kun!"

"Is there anything I can do to help your friend?" Sonny ignored the response, not wanting to get the two strangers too excited.

"Just keep talking to us. Your support is all we need, Sonny-kun."

"Alright? Just later…I'm gonna talk to my friends."

"Can we come? NiGHTS asked.

"No." Sonny replied, quickly saying goodbye to them both before closing the window for good.
