Zeni- Yo, how was the first one? Kinda sad ain't it? Nah, didn't think so. I know it was kinda short that's why this isn't as short yo! You know why I'm sayin' yo? 'cause Shirako is doing Disclaimer!

Shirako- Yo. Zeni does not own AcceleRacers.

Zeni- Have fun! Don't blame me for doing in this order 'cause I did it in order from earliest day to latest.

Shirako

Pork Chop decided not to watch the fireworks anymore and take a shower. When he got out of the shower, he heard someone singing. He had thought he was the only person not watching the fireworks or sleeping. He looked through the keyhole of the door and saw Shirako burried under his pillow singing that song.

"Imagine there's no heaven. It's easy if you try. No hell below us. Above is only sky. Imagine all the people. Living for today. Aaa Haa. Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do.Nothing to kill or die for. And no religion too. Imagine all the people. Living life in peace. Aaa Haa. You may say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will b-." Shirako sang but stopped when he heard the door creak open a little, "Who's there?" Pork Chop walked inaside and saw Shirako still under his pillow.

"Hey." He said.

"Whaddya want. Come to tease me again?" Shirako asked.

"Not really. Why aren't you outside watching the fireworks? And why are you under your pillow?" Pork Chop asked. That made Shirako think for a while and a tear rolled down his cheek. He took the pillow of his head and closed his eyes and tried to relax.


Shirako was 10 then. He was on a picnic with his mom and dad in the park. It was at night and they were watching the fireworks while eating.

"Mama. Papa. The fireworks are nice." Shirako said with this type of twinkle in his eyes.

"It's great isn't it?" His mom said.

"Ya ya!" He answered.

"I'm glad you enjoy it." His dad said. Suddenly, some guy jumped out from behind a bush and he had a gun. He aimed it at his dad and when he shot the bullet, everything seemed to be like it was in slow motion. His dad shut his eyes tight but Shirako jumped up in front of him, letting the bullet go through his chest. He fell to the ground and was gasping for breath.

"Damn! Stupid Kid!" The attacker said, "This time, I won't miss!" He shot his dad square in the head and shot his mother too so he wouldn't have witnesses.

"Mama...Papa..." Shirako muttered in pain. His vision began to become blurry and he blacked out. He was lucky that someone had called the police. He made it but his parents didn't. Even his brother, the high class surgeon which did his first surgery at the age of 13, couldn't save them.

"Shirako. Wake up." His brother said.

"Toya? Where's Mama and Papa?" He asked.

"Their gone and their not coming back little bro but the fireworks are still going." Toya said, his face showed no emotion at all.

"No! I don't want to see the fireworks, ever!" He shouted.

"Why?" Toya asked.

"It sounds like guns and guns scare me." He answered. Toya sat on the chair next to the bed and thought of ways to cheer him up.

"Maybe this will help. Imagine there's no heaven. It's easy if you try. No hell below us. Above is only sky. Imagine all the people. Living for today. Aaa Haa. Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do.Nothing to kill or die for. And no religion too. Imagine all the people. Living life in peace. Aaa Haa. You may say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will be as one." His brother sang, "Does that make you feel better?" Toya looked down at Shirako and he was leaning on his shoulder.

"Mmmm." Shirako hummed.

"That song always helped me through bad times so I hope it helps you too my little canary." Toya said using Shirako's pet name.


Shirako opened his eyes and Pork Chop had already left.

"I miss you big bro. I wish you were still here. You were the best big bro ever my little fox." He said, not even trying to hold back his tears. What he didn't notice was that Pork Chop was watching him.

"Poor Guy." Pork Chop whispered as he walked off and went to his bedroom.

"I remember the last thing you said to me Toya. Big brother is watching you." Shirako sobbed. His brother died of cancer 7 months before and when he lay on the hospital bed, those were his last words.
