Chapter 2 of Just Another Day!
GOODBYE SUMMER! Only a week before I go back to school so I better post all my remaining fics. Watch out for 'Another Friday Night' and '16 Candles:15 Black, 1 White.'
I will never own MFBB even if I wished I do.
I also don't own the song. Listen to it. It's really good. It's called 'A Song to You.' It was used in the show 'Victorious.'
"Stop moping around Masamune and actually start having fun."
Ginga and Masamune where at Metal City's annual end-of-summer street fair. So far Ginga won 7 out of 7 of the games they played only because Masamune was still depressed about the sudden break-up that he didn't really pay attention to anything.
"I don't wanna have fun Ginga. Just take me home and leave me alone to suffer my eternal sorrow."
Ginga frowned. At this rate Masamune might even to depress to even beyblade. Ping. Lightbulb moment.
"Fine. After one more game." Ginga dragged the gloomy boy to one of the shooting games. "Two please," said Ginga handing some money. The stall worker gave them a plastic gun each.
"Y'know what Masamune? I found a bright side to this problem. With your current attitude you might even be too depress to beyblade. Next time we battle I might actually get my '#1 Blader' title back." Masamune's expression change from 'gloom and doom' to 'as if.' "Like I would let that happen. I am and always will be the #1 Blader in the world." He grabbed the toy gun and managed to hit 5 targets while Ginga only got three.
"Congratulations. You won. Let me get your prize."
"Good job, Masamune. It's nice to finally see you alive."
"Yeah. I can't believe I got depressed just because of the break-up. Well, from now on I, Masamune Kadoya, am a happy man."
The worker came back with Masamune's prize. A stuffed cat.
"Kat really loves cats," he said gloomily, reverting back to depressed mode.
Ginga facepalmed and dragged Masamune back home.
It was already 2:30 pm by the time both of them got back to Ginga's apartment. Ginga dumped Masamune unceremoniously on the couch and went in the kitchen. Wanda was leaning against the counter holding an ice bag on her head.
"What happened to you?"
"Kat had me do at least 8 extreme sports with her."
"I thought you were used to doing sports."
"I am. But only one a day. Now 8 in one day, that's just…extreme. How's Masamune?"
"Still depressed."
"It's his fault for forgetting something this important. If he ju-."
Music was coming from their living room accompanied by singing. Not just any singing, it was Masamune's singing. The two of them saw the Unicorn Blader playing with Wanda's keyboard piano. Once he finished he saw the two of them gawking at him.
"Masamune, did you write that song?" asked Wanda, stupefied.
He nodded.
"Then why didn't you sing that to Kat. It's perfect and it's obvious you wrote it for her," exclaimed Ginga.
"It's kinda a long story."
Wanda and Ginga sat on either side of him.
"Go on."
The self-proclaimed #1 Blader took a deep breath and began telling his story.
"The truth is, I did remember our monthsary. If you count remembering it the day before. I kinda panicked about her gift. I didn't have money at that time so thought I could make a homemade gift. I remembered Kat really loves music so why not write her a song? Toby was a bit of a musician so I asked him for help. He didn't really have the time to write a song but he did send me one of his piano pieces. All I had to do was write the lyrics. I spent the whole day writing. Surprisingly, I finished it and it wasn't half-bad."
"Then why didn't you perform it?" asked Ginga.
"Kat probably listened to tons of wonderful songs already so I wasn't sure how'd she react to this one. It was finished at the last-minute and it was written by someone who doesn't even know the difference between a harmony and a melody."
"Melody is a sequence of single notes that is musically satisfying while harmony is the combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords and chord progressions with a pleasing effect," said Wanda as-a-matter-of-factly. She saw the two of them gawking at her. "What?"
"That's not really helping right now," said Ginga.
"This might. Masamune, I'm a musician too and if there's one thing I know is that it doesn't matter who writes the song, amateur or professional, what's important is the message it holds and that you put your heart into it. You'll be proud that you wrote the song even if some people think it's….uncool."
"To simplify things, STOP BEING DEPRESSED AND SING THAT SONG TO KAT ALREADY, YOU LAZY BUM!"
Wanda punched Ginga's arm," Now you're the one who's not helping."
"I'll do it."
"What?"
"I'll sing it to Kat. But good luck trying to convince her to listen."
"There's going to be a 'Battle of the Bands' later this night for the street fair. Kat will come as long as there's music," said Ginga.
"But I don't have a band," exclaimed Masamune.
"We can form one," Wanda piped in," Remember the Blader's Dance when me and the other's performed the song Ginga and Madoka danced to? I can convinced the others to play even if they don't agree I'll force them if I have to."
"D'you think you can learn the song in time?"
"Heck yeah! If I can climb the top of a mountain in just half an hour then I can learn a song with more."
Masamune looked at the determined faces of the two people who just fought about a pizza hours ago. Now they're working together just to help me.
"Thanks. Both of you."
"We'll do anything for a friend," they said in unison.
Will their plan succeed or will Masamune lose Kat forever? Find out in the next chapter.
