Wow. Chapter 2. Yay! I remember what I was going to say, by the way: Don't ask me where I got the name Kakeru. It just came into my mind out of nowhere and got stuck. But, it sounds familiar in a way to me, so if anyone has a character similar to that name or anything, then sorry. Because it happens to me sometimes. ..;

Well, I'm going through certain things right now, but at least writing helps me. I'm getting writer's block already, though. Something tells me that this fanfiction is going to take longer than the first one. XD;

Chapter 2: Yet Another Huge Get-Together

"In trouble? How?" A puzzled Natsumi asked.

"Well, the Stellar Galaxy is sort of fighting. Like, everything is uneasy. And, for some reason, planet Velocity is kind of in the middle of it," Violet told her.

"How?"

"Well, you see," Violet began, "Violet deosn't really know all that much, but, apparently, the beings on the planet only known as 'The Last'- which, until now, was thought to be the last planet of our solar system- is after something, so they're sparking conflicts between different planets. We, apparently, were blamed for something, though Violet don't know what, though now we have maybe three planets against us, even one that used to be our ally. And we're afraid it might turn into war, but we're trying everything in out power to prevent it. But it's like something took over the leader of 'The Last'... he didn't used to be like this."

"Well... is there something I can do?" Natsumi asked again, wondering if the PiX was getting tired of the questions, even though it didn't seem like it.

"The leader of Velocity said she wanted to see the humans that Violet met here. She wanted to thank them for helping Violet and returning me back home, and wanted to you all for a favor, but Violet doesn't know what it is." Violet seemed slightly out of breath after explaining everything, and Natsumi had noticed this as well.

"I see. Well, I'm going to need Emi's help."

"For what?"

"For helping me to gather everyone together again," Natsumi teased, smiling. Though, she did plan on calling Emi for help. Natsumi knew something big was about to start. And they all were being brought into it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Rage, are you okay?" Emi asked the curled-up figure on her sofa, who only groaned in reponse. Emi sighed. "You sure you don't want to take anything for that indigestion-attack you're having... ?"

"I told you, Emi, I don't... need any of that," Rage muttered through a couch cushion.

"Well, you've been lying there groaning for around half an hour now, so maybe it'd make life easier for you if you did."

".. Mmf.." Was all Rage replied after that, and Emi soon heard her phone ringing. "I'll be back," She told her boyfriend, and then went to answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey. It's Natsumi," Came the other voice.

"Oh, Natsumi!" Emi replied, now in a more cheerful tone, "How are you? You feeling better?"

"Yeah, but there's something I must inform you of."

"Hm? What is it?" A curious Emi asked.

"Violet has returned, but apparently she needs us for something. All of us. And it's something important, too."

"Oh, really? Well, what, exactly?"

"Violet and I will let you guys know when we all get together. For now, I just need you to help me... that is, if you want."

"Well, of course I'll help you!" Emi said, "Don't worry about it!"

"Okay. I'll see you later..." Natsumi replied. The two said their goodbyes for the moment and hung up. Emi giggled, and then turned back to Rage.

"Guess what, Rage?" Emi asked Rage excitedly with a huge grin, though he already knew what was about to come out of Emi's mouth, something about how everyone was to get ready and some sort of big thing was suppose to happen soon. "Shit..." He muttered at the thought. And, just as he expected, Emi had said, "That stomach of yours had better get well fast!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Bizz and Akira had still been at Yuni's house- or, rather, mansion- and they had mainly been in Yuni's room kinda doing what they had been doing at the park, though, this time they were eating candy. Even Akira, who, for some reason, seemed a little happier now than how he had been back at the park. Though, this made Yuni happy as well, so the conversations between all three of them were a bit more cheerful. Also, Yuni never did get scolded, though everyone had been pretty occupied with something at the time.

"So, what do you think you'll be doing later?" Yuni asked Bizz.

"Don't really know, maybe just going back home and annoying the heck out of Evil Zukin?" Bizz replied with a shrug.

The conversation had been interrupted by the sound of Yuni's phone ringing. Yuni sighed and stood up. "Hold on, guys, my phone is ringing," she told Bizz and Akira, who remained still sitting on the floor. Bizz, however, had been sprawled out a little, because she found the carpet comfortable. While Yuni was obviously in a conversation with Emi on the phone, the two started a conversation of their own.

".. Bizz? May I ask you something?" Akira asked the spaced-out Bizz, who snapped to attention and sat back up.

"Yeah?" She replied rather happily.

"How exactly do I remind you of this Kakeru you were talking about earlier?"

"What makes you ask that?" Bizz asked, the cheerful expression still on her face.

"Well.. I guess I was just wondering..."

"Oh, well, you and him are just kinda of smiliar to me," Bizz replied with that still-remaining smile, "You both are pretty cool, you're both good-looking... and you both dress rather sharply!" She sprawled out on the floor again, looking a little red. "So yeah.." She said as she started to doze off a little, only to wake up as Yuni returned. "Yeah, I guess we have to meet at Emi's house early tomorrow morning..." She said, and then asked, "So, what were you two talking about while I was gone?"

"Oh, nothing much really," Bizz yawned dazily, "But, erm, how early is she talking about.. ?"

"7am.." Yuni replied, and Bizz was startled for a second.

"7 in the morningg.. ?"

"She says to bring the Zukins with you, too."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Emi, I'm sorry, I really can't talk much right now," Alice replied on the phone.

"Babysitting again?" Emi asked with a small giggle.

"Yeah. Crap, hold on," Alice said, and Emi heard loud laughter in the background, along with "Baby-lon, get away from there! You'll break something.. !" And soon she returned and said, "Okay, well, anyways, what were you saying again... ?"

"Will you be free tomorrow morning?"

"Yeah, in fact I won't be babysitting for much longer today. But, you said something about 7am, right?"

"Yeah."

"And that Natsumi will tell us more when we meet or something... any ideas on what it is?"

"Something about Violet."

"You mean the little creature whom we met that one day at the arcade?"

"Yup, you got it!" Emi cheered, "So, I'll see you tomorrow morning.. 'kay?"

"Okay! See you, Emi!"

"See ya, Alice!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Emi eventually notified the rest of the group, she called Natsumi back.

"Natsumi?"

"Yeah?"

"I told everyone about your plan. You did say 7 in the morning, right?"

"Right."

"And, so your mom doesn't suspect anything, we'll just all meet at my house. ... That's all right with you?"

"Yes, it's okay. Heh, Violet says she's thankful for your help, Emi."

"Heehee! Tell her I said hi, okay? See you tomorrow!"

"Okay, I will, see you!"

Emi hung up, and Natsumi turned back to Violet. "Emi says hi." She told the PiX, smiling.

-End of chapter 2-

(o.o I know you're probably wondering, "Wtf is up with the big delay?" Well, I finally got my lazy ass to do some work, and my writer's block finally went away... sorry if this chapter was confusing, though. It should start to get better... I hope... ... At least it was longer, riiight? XD;;;)
