A/N: I'm redoing this story because the last version wasn't my best work. Monika is 17 in this one and DDLC belongs to Team Salvato.

I was cruising down the street on my skateboard, the ice-cold wind blowing in my face. Avoiding all the slush puddles and dodging the iced over parts of the road, I finally made it home for the weekend. Its 5pm, normally I get home around 4 because I get lots of detentions. So, I'm lazy, well that's an exaggeration, I'm only lazy when it comes to homework. I'm never going to need algebra in my life so why should I practice it? Today I got a two-hour detention because I talked back to the teacher and forgot my homework as per usual. I took my keys from my coat pocket and unlocked my door.

"I'm home!" I chimed. No response as usual.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm Gavin Hampton. I'm just your average seventeen-year-old teenager, nothing special, apart from the fact that I don't have any parents, nothing special though. My Fridays usually go like this, I get home, I eat, I play video games, practice trampoline tricks, eat again then sleep, normal right? I was about to start eating when my door burst open.

"Wassup hoe!" A blonde-haired boy said while storming into my house.

"Ayo, sup Ethan?" I said while giving him a fist bump

So, Ethan is best friend along with my other friend Tanner. He's like me and Johnny Knoxville in one. He's way crazier than me and does stupid stuff just to get attention from others, especially girls.

"How was the two-hour then?" He said while taking his ps4 controller out of his bag.

"It was shit, obviously. I walked out ten minutes early because the dentition monitor is pretty much blind." I said somewhat sarcastically

"Yeah, once I had an all-day one, I didn't even show up and she didn't even notice." Ethan said with a smirk.

Our conversation went on for a while longer and then we got bored then we decided to take turns playing Fortnite. We must've lost track of time because by the time we stopped, it was nine o' clock.

Ethan went home and left me to my own devices. I looked for some more games to play but had played all but one. I hadn't finished this game yet, but I was almost there. I turned on my MacBook and loaded up Doki Doki Literature Club. I had almost completed the true ending. This game had intrigued me by the fact that everyone was talking about it in school. What surprised me the most was the fact that there was a warning for those who were under 13 or easily disturbed.

I pressed continue and proceeded from where I left off, in act four. Sayori had gained sentience after Monika deleted her character file. I was heartbroken by this, Monika was the best girl after all and the fact she didn't get her own route just disappointed me even more. It didn't take me long before I reached the credit with 'Your Reality' playing in the background.

"Damn, I really wish Monika got her own route, I can relate with that girl."

I could really sympathise with Monika, I know what it's like being the only one in the world. Well, not exactly being the only one but I know that feeling too well, I mean *COUGH* no parents *COUGH*. I finished around ten but at that point, my eyes could just shut down at that point. The only conclusion to this was to jump into bed, I took my shirt off and drifted to sleep.

I woke up, but not in my house, in a place that was black and white. Kind of like CRT TV static. There was also static sound flooding into my eardrums, almost destroying them. I knew that I shouldn't be here, but I couldn't move, it was like my body was glued together.

"OH, FUCK THIS!" I said aloud. "Whole lotta gang shit!" I shouted, still struggling to move.

A white tile appeared in front of me, it looked like a speech box from my computer or a pop-up ad of sorts. I struggled to move but I had successfully got my left arm free of whatever was holding my bobby back the tile now had three dots on it, symbolising that something was loading. It read out,

{INITIATE. CHR File?}

The answers yes and no appeared as well.

Oh whatever, just make the noise stop, I'm going insane!

I had the balls to press yes, at that point I was going insane. The static stopped. Then the room started to glow with white light and a horrifying screeching sound replaced the old static.

"AAAAHHHHHH!" I screamed.

Then I woke up. I jumped out of bed, startled by what just happened. I felt my body all over.

"Oh, thank god, it was just a dream." I whispered

Something felt off though, out of place. That dream couldn't be a one off, could it? I don't even dream half the time, I'm an insomniac. I was already awake enough, so I put my shirt on, grabbed my phone and went downstairs. I looked over the railing of this elevated platform I have going downstairs to see a figure sitting on my couch watching TV.

No, no, no, this can't be was a dream wasn't it, right?

I climbed over the railing, clung by one hand and jumped down silently. I was about to confront the figure, but my phones notification bell went off.

The figure turned around and looked at me up and down. They had their hair in a ponytail with a white bow in their hair.

This can't be no, no way.

"Hi!" The figure said cheerfully.

It was Monika.

My legs turned to jelly, I fell on the carpet due to the shock.

I woke up with green orbs staring into my soul. The thought had come to me that it was Monika, she was real. She stepped back as I kicked up and backflipped towards the kitchen counter.

"Stay the FUCK away from me!" I shouted

My mind was on red alert. She took a step closer.

"I'm not here to hurt you Gavin." She said calmly.

I was scared out of my wits, so I jumped back towards my kitchen. She took another step towards me.

"Seriously I'm warning you!" I shouted.

"Please, calm down."

She took a few more steps closer and put her hands on my shoulders.

Please don't kill me, please don't kill me, please don't kill me!

She pulled me into a tight embrace. I was confused but it felt good, I hadn't felt this feeling in a long time. I didn't know what was going on, so I just stood there, not doing anything. She stopped the hug and I took a step back.

"Who are you? Why are you here? How did you get out of that game? And am I on crack?" I asked

"Well, I'm Monika, I don't exactly know why I'm here. My body started glitching out and I ended up here in your house, and I don't know if you do drugs or not."

The dream, of course!

"Before I woke up, I had this dream where I was in this static place and then a message saying initiate .chr file popped up on the screen. I pressed it because there was a load of static noise getting on my nerves and now were here."

So that character file in your dream must have been mine from the game and you somehow you made me come into your reality.

"No, no, no, this can't be happening." I said while sitting down on my couch and putting my head in my hands.

I peered at the clock over in the kitchen, it read 2:37 AM. I know I have insomnia but, this is just not right. People should be sleeping at this time but there is an exception when a girl appears in your house.

"So, I know you're excited to see me but I'm really tired, I'm going to hit the hay." I asked while breaking the hug. "You can take the spare bed if you want and there's a wardrobe there, you can get some clothes to sleep in because I assume you don't want hat uniform anymore. I can have the couch I don't mind."

"Well, I was thinking that we could sleep together." She said

I almost threw up with that statement. I was also shocked that Monika wants to sleep with of all people, me.

"Hahahaha! No." I said

"Yep, it's fitting because you are my boyfriend!" She said cheerfully

Now I could throw up my guts. "H-E-L-L NO! You literally just appeared in my house with no explanation and now you think I'm your boyfriend! Hell naw."

"Please?" She said

"No. You can have the spare bed, and I'll have mine, goodnight!" I said, walking up the stairs

"Fine, goodnight then." Monika said, her tone turning into a sadder one.

"I gotta check those sleeping pills, Jesus Christ." I said under my breath

I turned off the light, walked upstairs and went to sleep.

I woke up, a small beam of sunlight creeping through my window and the neighbour's dog barking as usual. I sat up and stretched my arms.

"Jeez, I hope Tanners' home, he wasn't at school on Friday." I said aloud

I quickly tried to jump out of bed, but I tripped, flipped and landed on my back.

"Owwww, fuck!" I said while clutching my back "For carpet, the floor is pretty hard

I got up off the floor and walked downstairs. I went to the fridge and took out one of the few Belgian waffles I bought once. I heated that up and put some syrup on it. Hey, it's not Canada without syrup, am I right? Monika slowly trudged down the stairs the moment I finished my waffle.

"Oh, hey Monika." I said

"Hi…" She said groggily

"Oh, I guess you're not a morning person huh?" I replied

"Nope."

"On a good note, I have breakfast, waffles with syrup." I said while searching my almost empty fridge.

I heated another waffle for thirty seconds, put some syrup on it, got a knife and fork, and put it in front of Monika.

"Bon appetite." I said.

Gotta show some hospitality, right?

"Thanks." Monika said with a little bit more life in her voice

I sat down at the couch and turned on the TV, I only really watch cartoons because it's the only good thing on TV these days. Yes, I'm seventeen. and still watch cartoons don't judge me. Maybe half an hour passed, and I looked over to see Monika asleep at the table with her head in her arms. I had an idea, so I ran upstairs, got my MacBook and came downstairs.

"Monika?" I said before tapping her on the shoulder.

"Hm?" She replied

"I have a job for you, I know you don't want to be wearing my clothes all the time, so I want you to pick out some of what you want."
"Okay." She said while perking up. "Do it on here because I don't want people recognising you outside and that's the last thing I need.

"But your budget is two-hundred-dollars."

"Well, I'll find something." She replied

"Cool, I might be going out later, so I'll just check what it's like outside." I said

I opened the door to reveal a white wall blocking me from seeing the outside.

Oh Shit

A/N: WOOOO! There's the first chapter out. I had a blast writing this, so I hope you people enjoy it. I know this is better than my last fic, so feedback would be appreciated. I'll see you in the next one! Datboi out!
