Inside DDLC With My Best Friend: Chapter 1

Aaron's POV:

I wake up to find myself...standing? That's not right. I was sitting down with Yak.

I look around and I find myself in an unfamiliar place. This looks like...no it looks like Doki Doki Literature Club. I look down upon myself and to my horror, I look like Sayori.

I scream internally. I find The Main Character and think to myself. (hmm, seeming as I am Sayori, Yak must be MC.) so I approach and say: "..Yak?" he turns around.

Yak's POV:

I wake up to find myself inside DDLC, as the MC..I can't even express how surprised and shocked I am. I stand there for about 2 minutes when I hear a feminine voice say: "..Yak?" I turn around, and see Sayori.

Aaron's POV:

Aaron: "..Yak? Is that you?"

Yak: "Yes, and by what you said, you're not Sayori, aren't you?"

Aaron: "Nope. It's me, Aaron."

Yak:" Good. Glad to see that it's both of us and not just one of us."

I think for a second. (Hmm. Maybe us clicking the 'New Game' option at the same time was what had done it.)

I told Yak what I had thought.

Yak: "Yeah. That could be a reasonable explanation as to why."

Aaron: "Well, lets head to the school. I somehow have some of sayori's memories, because I know what classes she take and the way to the school."

Yak: "Huh. Now that you mention it, I think I have some of MC's memories too."

Aaron: "We'll discuss this after school, I'll come to your last class at the end of the day."

Yak: "Sounds good to me."

We both head off to school, knowing what route to go. We barely make it on time to our first classes.

-TIME SKIP-

The school day ends quickly. I go to Yak's classroom, and find that he is standing outside the door.

Aaron: "Thanks for waiting."

Yak: "No problem."

Aaron: "We should head to the literature club. Monika might know something."

Yak: "Yeah. Lead the way!"

We head off to the clubroom door.

Aaron: "Well, this is it. Time to see the literature club. We should follow some of the script's lines."

Yak: "Yeah. But I'll act confident, to make things interesting."

Aaron: "Sounds good to me"

Luckily, no-one heard our conversation.

Aaron: Everyone, the new member is here!

A pulped haired girl name Yuri speaks first

Yuri: "Welcome to the literature club. It's a pleasure to meet you."

A short, pink-haired girl named Natsuki speaks next.

Natsuki: "Ugh. You brought a boy? Way to kill the atmosphere."

A chestnut-brown haired girl named Monika just looks..surprised and shocked for a second. Like she saw a ghost or something..

Yak: "Hello there! I am the new member! My name is Yak! It is nice to meet you all!"

Yuri: "It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance."

Natsuki: "At least he has some manners."

Monika: "Ah, Yak! It's been a while, hasn't it?"

Yak: "Yeah, It has."

Natsuki and Yuri both say in unison: "You two know each other?"

Yak: "Yes. We were classmates last year."

Aaron: "Come sit down, Yak! We've made room for you at the table so you can sit next to me, or Monika!"

I smile brightly.

Aaron: "I'll get the cupcakes-"

Natsuki: "Hey! I made them! I'll go get them."

Aaron: "Sorry, I got a little too excited!"

Yuri: "Then how about I prepare some tea?"

The desks are arranged to form a table.

Just like before, It's been widened so that there is one space next to me and Monika.

Both Natsuki and Yuri walk to the corner of the room, where Natsuki grabs a wrapper tray, while Yuri opens a closet door.

Yak sits next to me, as expected.

Natsuki proudly marches to the desk-like table, tray in hand.

Natsuki: "Okaaay, are you ready?"

She lifts the foil under the tray, revealing a dozen white, fluffy decorated cupcakes to look like cats.

Aaron: "Woooow!"

Aaron: "So cute!"

Monika for some reason, stays silent.

Yak instead says Monica's line.

Natsuki: "Ehehe, well, you know."

Natsuki: "Just hurry up and take one!"

I grab one first, then Yak, Monika follows.

Hmm..I wonder what the cupcake will taste like. Well, only one way to find out!

I take a bite. The icing is sweet and full of flavor.

Aaron: "It's delicious!"I talk after swallowing.

Yak takes a bite too. He has the same expression I had when eating it.

We both say in unison.

Aaron and Yak: "This is really good, thanks Natsuki!"

Natsuki: "Why are you thanking me? It's not like I m-made them f-for you! D-dummy.."

Yak: "Alright, alright."

Yuri returns carrying a tea set, and carefully places a teacup in front of each of us right before setting the teapot next to the cupcake tray.

Yak: "You keep a whole teaset here?"

Yuri: "Don't worry, the teachers gave us permission."

Yuri: "After all, doesn't a hot cup of tea help you enjoy a good book?"

Yak: "I guess so."

Monika finally speaks up.

Monika: "Don't worry, Yuri is just trying to impress you."

Yuri: "Eh? Th-that's not...I meant that, you know."

Yuri looks away, insulted.

Yak: "Well, it's working!"

Yuri smiles to herself in relief.

Monika just looks like Yak and me are the world's hardest puzzle, but quickly recovers.

Monika: "I am very confident that we can all grow this club before we graduate!"

Monika: "Right, everyone?"

Everyone agrees.

Yuri: "So Yak, what kinds of things do you like to read?"

Yak: "Well, I like to read science, manga and horror."

Yuri: "A tentative reader, I see."

Natsuki perks up, like usual.

Yak and Aaron: "Have something to say?"

Natsuki: "N-no. I w-was just thinking about something!"

Yak: "So what do you like to read, Yuri?"

Yuri: "Well, lets see..my favorites are novels that build deep and complex fantasy worlds."

Yuri: "And telling a good story in such a foreign world is equally impressive."

Natsuki: "Ugh, I hate horror."

Aaron: "Oh, why is that?"

Monika: "That's right. You like to read cute things, don't you, Natsuki?"

Natsuki: "D-don't say that out loud!"

Aaron: "Wow. Your cupcakes, your poems...everything about you is as cute as you are."

Natsuki: "I am not cute!"

Silence fills the room, then Monika speaks up.

Monika: "Okay, everyone! I have an idea! Lets all go home and write a poem!"

Monika:" Then next time we meet, share them with each other! That way, everyone is even!"

Me and Yak are the first to speak up, saying in unison.

Aaron and Yak: Yeah! It sounds like fun

Monika: Plus, now that we have a new member, it will help us all get more comfortable with each other, and strengthen the bond of the club!"

Yak: "Wait a second, there is still one problem. I never said I would join this club. Sayori may have convinced me to stop by,, but I never made any decision.

I don't say or do anything, but the other three girls look back at Yak with dejected eyes.

Yak: "You all…"

Yak: "All right, I've decided. I'll join the literature club!"

Aaron: "Yay!"

Monika: Then that makes it official! Welcome to the literature club!"

Monika: "I think we can end the meeting on a good note. Everyone remember today's assignment!

Aaron: "Hold on. There's still something I want to talk to Monika about with Yak."

Yak: "Me too."

Yuri and Natsuki understand. They leave and shut the door.

...Oh boy. This is going to be one heck of a conversation, I think to myself.
