(Alexis: Welp.
Alicia: As soon my bae gets here, I'm cuddling him.
Marcus: Bae! *huggles Alexis*
Alexis: *0.0* Marcus! *blushes* Alicia, please….
Alicia: What you want me to do?
Alexis: Call Nikki, my intern. *drags Marcus and her off screen*
Alicia: Who's Nikki?
Nikki: HAI!~ :D
Alicia: *blinks*
Nikki: You must be Mastermind or Alicia.
Alicia: *nods*
Nikki: Onto Chapter 3! :D
Alicia: OK…)
Chapter 3 - Leadup to The Big Night
When everybody was heading into the lunchroom, they saw Alexis and Marcus talking to each other at the lunch table. They all backed up a little.
"What the hell?" Karma said.
"Is she really talking to Marcus?" Togami wondered, blinking.
"Are you legally blind?" Haru said.
"What's up, peeps? Guess who just got out of detention?" A voice was behind them.
"Nagisa?!" Haru exclaimed.
"I brought Makoto and Rei along…."
"Hi, Haru!" Makoto waved.
"Guys, now isn't the time!" Ciel warned, looking at the guys.
Everybody was looking at Alexis and Marcus kissing and they were shocked as hell.
"I love you." Alexis said before looking at a furious Monica
"STOP RIGHT THERE, MARCUS!" Monica yelled, storming into the lunchroom.
"I love you - MONICA?!" Marcus jumped up. "The hell, woman?!"
"Marcus…" Monica exclaimed, grabbing him by his shirt. "You should know this already - WE as staff can't have a love relationship with our students."
"Monica!" He whines.
Alexis is angry. "Monica, if you don't let him go, I will have to get detention."
Monica looked at Alexis with the Monokuma glare, both of her eyes glowing red. "You wanna fight today, BITCH?!"
Everybody else who was outside started to run inside, phones at the ready, and standing on the other side of the cafeteria.
Suddenly, the cafeteria doors swung open. "Alexis….." It was her sister.
Everybody was looking at Alicia and Alexis, with tear filled eyes, ran past her sister.
Alicia them grabbed her sister's wrist. "SIt down." She growled.
"You're mad at me, aren't you…" She sits down, crying. "If you wanna hurt me… do it." She begs.
Alicia just slapped her own sister out of nowhere. "You need to stop with your bitch-ass crying! You're a damn sophomore!" She explained. "You need to grow up, sister." She then left the lunchroom, heading back to the auditorium.
"Damn…" Nagisa said.
Alexis held her face before running out of the cafeteria, heading to the girls' restroom, crying on the way.
Inside the auditorium, Flash was writing things down in a notebook.
Alicia walks back in with regret written all over her face. "Hey, dear."
He saw the regret. "I don't think I wanna know."
"You don't." She sighed deeply and sat down. "What up?"
"I heard from Kazuichi he might have a lead on my memory loss problem. More like he just outright accused someone…" Flash answered.
"Explain." Alicia said, plain as day.
"Kazuichi Souda came to me earlier while you were gone and claimed that Gundam Tanaka had used some sort of magic to erase my memories, and that a side effect of it was that I pass out. He didn't say anything for a motive, Kazuichi just accused him." Flash explained.
Alicia stared at her boyfriend.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" He inquired.
Alicia nodded and finally smiled. "Hell yeah I do!"
"If you're thinking he made this all up on his own, then yes, you're right." He smiled as well.
"What's the plan, dear?" Alicia grinned.
"I'm going to investigate this possibility a little, that's what. If I don't find anything the first time, then I'll have every right to suspect Kazuichi of doing something." He answered.
Alicia clapped. "And what if he doesn't admit it?"
"Sweetheart, you let me worry about that. I just need an interrogation room, and I'm good." He stated.
"We don't have an interrogation room-" And then an idea hit Alicia which made her put a smirk on her face.
"Oh." He realized. "I like that look on your face."
"I know you do." She stood up.
"You think Monica could make something on the spot? Like, she could improvise a little." Flash suggested.
"You called?" Monica said, appearing behind the couple.
Flash nodded and explained what he needed to Monica. "Oh, and do you think you could get uh...Kyoko, I think her name is, to help me?"
"I sure can! You can use my office!" Monica then disappeared.
"You think this will work?" He wondered.
"Hell yeah." She replied, grinning like a madman.
"This'll be fun." Flash also grinned, but not like a madman.
"You know where Souda is, right?"
"If he's not busy planning on stalking the princess, then no." He answered.
"I hope he's not…." Alicia replied.
"Yeah." Then he decided to change the subject. "Homecoming this week? Or is it tomorrow night?"
"It's this week but it's on Friday night."
"And today is...Tuesday?" He asked.
She nodded. "Yep."
"Then I've got time…" Flash smirked at that. "I'm gonna find the son of a bitch that wiped my memory."
Then an announcement came over on the intercom.
"Ahem. Attention, Anime High students and staff. This is your principal Monica. This week is Homecoming. Monday was Multiplies Day. Today is Tacky Day. Wednesday is Pajama Day. Thursday is Jock and Nerd Day. And Friday is Homecoming so there will be no classes on that day. Also, Friday night, two of our own students will be performing in the auditorium that night. I can't tell you who they are! Upupupupu! That's all I have for right now! Hope you guys have a hope filled day!"
The intercom cut off. "Damn." was all Alicia could say.
"Well if it's any consolation, I've got time." Flash stated. "So what now? We go looking for Souda?"
"Hell yeah."
So Flash went out of the auditorium, ready to look for Souda.
Alicia followed shortly behind, her smile fading away bit by bit.
Probably because they had to do this.
Or because Alicia felt something was off when she slapped Alexis.
Yeah, let's go with that.
Alicia then stopped for a moment, her head held down.
"If it's about Lex, dear…" Flash began, not angry at all. Just rather calm.
Alicia nodded, grabbing her boyfriend's hand.
"Don't beat yourself up over it. Stuff happens like that." He told her with sympathy in his voice.
"I know…." She sighed. "And I know who took your memory."
Flash was about to say something, but then he saw Souda, and Souda saw him.
"Oi. You're Kazuichi Souda?" Alicia said, looking at him.
He didn't answer, and just ran. "Dear, let me get him." Flash said. "I run track...I think."
Alicia rolled her eyes. "I know who took your damn memory - Nagito Komaeda."
Flash then watched as Souda got tripped by Ibuki, who just happened to be there at the time.
"Oi, dear!" Alicia stated, an tic mark forming on her head.
"I heard you the first time, Alicia." He soothed.
"Good. Time for me to go Komaeda hunting…." The expression on her face went from sad to hella evil.
"You can see if you can get him talking. I'm gonna see what Souda has to say for himself." Flash gave her a peck on the cheek, and walked over to the mechanic.
"A'ight, dear. " Alicia smiled and ran off to go find the lucky student.
Meanwhile, Alexis was still heavily crying until she heard Monomi.
"Alexis?" Monomi said, looking for her.
"Third stall. What?" She sniffled.
She crawls under and saw the crying girl. "I saw what happened…."
"Mind if we go to your office?" She was breaking down.
"Come." And Monomi grabbed Alexis' hands and took her to the office, closing the door behind Alexis. Then, she converts to Marcus.
"Marcus, I-I'm…." She gets to crying again.
"Alexis….." He frowned. "Be right back." He got up and ran past Monica's office and somewhere else in the school.
Alexis kept on crying and crying endlessly unless somebody can hear her.
Monica was wandering the hallways, bored out of her mind.
"Hey, Monica!" Marcus ran past her and into the lounge.
"What's wrong, little bro?"
"Look in my office. Then you know." He said, looking in the fridge.
"Alexis? I know."
"EH?!" He was hella shocked.
She sighed. "It's true."
"What was true?"
"What happened earlier."
"Oh….. I think she needs someone….. to be there….." He frowned.
"Does she want to see Alicia?" She asked.
"NO!" Alexis was still in tears behind the two, shaking. "After that? Hell no!" She turned away.
"But she's your sister!" Monica countered.
"I know that, Monica! I don't wanna talk to her anyway…"
"You don't have much of a choice, Alexis."
"SHUT IT, MONICA!" She yelled loudly, crying. "SHUT THE HELL UP!"
Alicia then walked in the longue. "Alexis."
"WHAT?!" was her response.
She then put her hands on her sister's shoulders. "Please calm down."
"No." She pushes her away.
"Alexis, I don't want you acting like this…" She said, moving towards her.
She, out of nowhere, punched her sister. "SHUT THE FUCK UP, ALICIA!" She ran out the lounge and ran outside of the school.
Alicia then fell to the ground. "Marcus…." Monica stated.
"Hm?" He muttered, then looks at Alicia. "Nurse's office, stat!"
Monica picked up the knocked out girl and carried her to the nurse's office. "Mikan! You in there?"
The nurse opened the door, confirming she was there.
"Hey." She stated before walking inside with a KO'd Alicia.
Mikan's eyes widened at the sight. "Ah! W-What happened to her?"
"She got knocked out by her own sister." Monica replied, setting Alicia down.
Mikan shakily nodded, then said, "Alright...I'll do what I can."
"Thank you, Mikan." Monica said, and left to go find a certain lucky student.
Once Monica left, Mikan then began caring for Alicia like a normal clinic would.
Inside Monica's office, Flash was sitting across from Souda, a desk lamp on the table they were at. The blinds were shut as the lamp was the only thing on in the room. And yes, the door was closed.
"Got something you wanna tell me?" Flash asked, glaring.
"W-what the hell, man? I'm telling you Gundam's the guilty one!" Souda defended.
"Don't make this harder on yourself than it has to be." Flash was not amused. Suddenly, the door opened and a purple haired girl with gloved hands came in. They would both recognize her as Kyoko Kirigiri.
"I've caught up with the details." She plainly informed. "And I can safely say Alicia was telling the truth."
Souda sighed a breath of relief. "Thank god…"
Kyoko placed her hand on the table, a folder in the other. "However, Kazuichi, you're not off the hook yet."
Then suddenly, Monica comes back to her office, out of breath.
"Monica? What is it?" Flash asked.
"It's Alicia. She got knocked out by Alexis." She replied.
"You're kidding me." He frowned, shock in his eyes.
"I'm not kidding. Mikan's treating her as we speak."
"At least she's in good hands…" He forced a faint smile. "Kyoko, stay here with Kazuichi and see what you can get out of him. Monica...you hunting for that kid? You know...Komaeda?"
Monica grinned and then laughed. "I already did."
"Good." Was all Flash said.
"Want me to go get him?" Monica asked.
"No, not yet. I want to embarrass him on Homecoming night." He answered, entering a stage of Tranquil Fury, but no one in the room would notice it.
"You're just like Alicia…" Monica sweatdropped.
"No...I just don't cuss as often." He deadpanned.
"And yet you love her because of that?"
"Partially. The other reason is she's the Yang to my Yin."
"That explains why you two love each other."
"Well duh."
"You wouldn't believe what Alexis said to her…." Monica said, sweatdropping.
"Oh trust me, I can believe it." Flash motioned to Monica that they should step outside so Kyoko could do her thing.
"Anyway, I gotta head to the nurse's office and see how Alicia's holding up." She said, stepping out of the room and ran to the nurse's office.
"Take care." Flash said, heading off for the gym.
The intercom rang.
"Attention, all students and staff report to the gym for something very important. Again, all students and staff report to the gym. Thank you!" Marcus announced and then cut the intercom off.
"ALEXIS!" Marcus screamed loudly as he saw Alexis about to cut herself with a very sharp knife. "What are you doing?!"
"What does it look like, bastard?!" She had already cut 3 lines on her arms.
"Alicia doesn't want you to do this!" He then talks to Monica on the walkie-talkie. "Monica, you hear me?"
"What? I'm heading to the nurse's office." She replied.
"Come to the lounge! Alexis is trying to act suicidal by cutting herself with a very sharp knife! NOW!" He panicked.
"Bring her to the nurse's office. NOW." She replied, knocking on the door. "Mikan. It's me."
Once again, just like last time, she came to the door. "W-What is it now?"
"How's Alicia holding up?" She asked calmly.
"She's better…" Was how she answered.
Monica breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
"W-What's the matter now?" Mikan wondered.
"It's Alicia's sister. She started cutting herself and Marcus is bringing her here right now."
The nurse gasped. "C-Cutting?"
"Sadly yes."
She shuddered and whimpered at the thought, praying to herself that Alexis would be alright and Marcus would be able to get to her in time.
Marcus was dragging Alexis to the nurse's office, who was crying hard. "Hello, Mikan."
Mikan said nothing as she took Alexis from Marcus and brought her inside, tending to the cuts on Alexis's arms.
Alexis looked over at her sister, tears running down her face. "I'm such a damn fool…."
"Marcus. We gotta talk." Monica said, walking outside.
Marcus follows Monica outside. "What?"
"Is everybody in the gym?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Just wondering…" Monica sighed, heading towards the gym.
Marcus follows Monica to the gym as well.
Back in the nurse's office…..
Mikan just said nothing still, fixing the cuts on Alexis's arms and wiping the tears from her eyes with some tissues she had on hand.
"T-Thanks….." Alexis muttered.
"Don't mention it…" Mikan replied.
"How is she?"
"S-She should...um...be coming to really soon."
Alicia slowly opened her eyes, holding one of her hands up. "What the fuck happened?"
"A-Alicia…." She looked at her.
Alicia then moved her hand and a bright light hit her eyes. She then looked at her sister and then turned away.
"I should go….." She hides her face.
Alicia said nothing more to her sister.
Alexis got up and accidentally slams the nurse's office door. She heads to the cafeteria for her quiet time.
Alicia them sat up and pulled out her phone. She sighed afterwards and then texted her boyfriend.
Flash noticed the text message and responded with, "I'm in the gym. What do you need?"
"Come get me. Please." She replied back.
He rushed down to the nurse's office, didn't bother knocking, and entered.
"Hey, sweetie.." Alicia said, getting up and rubbing her eyes.
"You need me to carry you?" He asked.
She put her glasses on and nodded. "Yes, please."
And Flash did so, bridal style, without even missing a beat.
"I love you." She whispered with a smile.
Flash didn't need to say anything to prove that was right.
Marcus was making sure that everybody was sitting down and in their right sections. He knows something is off and is now in a daze.
"Marcus." Monica snapped.
"What, woman?" He snapped back.
"Talk to the students."
"Why?"
Monica stepped on his foot. "Bastard…."
"Ow!" He rubbed his foot. "Alexis…"
"Stop worrying about her. She'll be fine."
"The cafeteria….."
Meanwhile, the freshman was bickering, looking at Marcus and Monica, or just waiting.
"What the hell did they mean be come to the damn gym?!" Natsu said, enraged.
"I have no damn idea, but this better be good….." Leon said.
Hinata and Naegi sweatdropped, looking at Monica and Marcus bickering.
"I bet that Monica chick starts fighting that Marcus dude." America said.
Now everybody on the freshman side was talking about a fight between Marcus and Monica.
Monica glared at Marcus. "I got some beef with you from earlier. It still SUCKS to be a guy."
Marcus death glared at Monica. "It SUCKS to be a damn girly girl."
"Honey, I'm not the girly girl type. YOU look like the girly girl type with all that pink and white on!"
"You REALLY wanna go there, Monica? Huh?"
"WILL THE TWO OF YOU STOP YOUR DAMN BICKERING AND JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP?!" That was Alexis, who was standing in the gym doors, shaking and yelling.
Everybody on the freshman side looked at Alexis as well as Monica and Marcus.
"Flash. I don't wanna go to the gym…" Alicia said.
"Neither do I." He deadpanned. "The sooner we get this over with, the better."
"How did it go with Souda?"
"I left him with Kyoko. She'll let me know what she gets."
Alicia nodded. "I see." She looked up at him.
He ruffled her hair a little bit. "Alright, let's get this thing over with."
"A'ight, flirt, you can put me down now." She teased a bit.
And so he did.
Alicia stretched. "Thank you for that, dear." She smiled, heading inside the gym to see Alexis, the whole freshman class, Monica and Marcus staring at her sister.
Flash entered after her. "Now what's the big news?"
"I don't know. But Alexis made everybody shut up."
"That's good." Flash noted, half-heartedly.
Alicia looked at him, sweatdropping.
Alexis and Marcus started to argue loudly until Alexis KO'd him.
"You worthless vice-principal….." She laughed.
Alicia turned around and walked past her boyfriend.
Flash was kinda waiting for this news now.
Monica walked over to Flash. "Can we talk?"
With a sigh, he answered, "Why not?"
Monica walked out into the hallway and looked at Alicia for a bit before turning back to Flash.
"What do you need?" He asked.
"I'm actually going to tell you what Marcus was suppose to tell everybody. Friday is Homecoming. So you have no classes that day but there will be a parade and food outside in the courtyard."
"And you want me to tell everyone that?"
"Hell no. They gonna know Friday morning."
"That's good to know."
"That also gives you and Alicia time to rehearse."
Flash kinda figured that out on his own, so he just shrugged and said, "I think I'm gonna look around the gym for a bit."
"You might not wanna do that….Alexis might KO you." Monica said, sweatdropping.
"That is if she catches me." He reassured.
"And catch you she will." She countered.
Marcus finally wakes up and looks around. "The hell?"
Meanwhile, Alexis leaves the gym in a hell and furious state, heading outside of the school.
"I think I'll be fine in a scrap." Flash continued. "Have a little faith…"
"Alright-" Monica said, stopping for a second.
He noticed this, but said nothing as he wanted her to continue.
Monica walked down the hallway. 'That can't be Alicia...' She thought, hearing a piano and somebody's voice. She motioned for Flash to come with her.
And come with her he did.
"Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without…"
"Flash, hear that?" Monica asked.
"Yeah."
"Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.
Oh, but God, I want to let it go."
Monica then walked to the auditorium and looked inside. In front of her was Alicia playing the piano.
"Oh my god, she is awesome." Flash whispered.
Alicia paused and looked at Monica and her boyfriend. "YO!"
Monica tensed up and waved.
"Hey there, Alicia." He smirked.
"You heard me singing?" She smirked back.
Monica nodded. "I didn't know you could sing!"
"Monica, honey. I was in my elementary school's chorus when I was in 2nd grade up until the 5th. Then I was in chorus my whole middle school year."
"Interesting to know." Flash commented.
"Why, thank you." She grinned.
Flash then began to think of how the school would feel about his singing.
Alicia then walked towards Flash. "You impressed by my piano skills?"
"Well yeah." He answered truthfully.
She smiled and hugged her boyfriend.
"Aw…." Monica said. "You two look cute!"
"I know. We get that a lot." Flash told her.
Monica grinned. "I'll leave you two alone." She then ran back to the gym.
"We need to go on a date after Homecoming." Alicia suggested, looking at her boyfriend.
"I don't see why not." He agreed.
She grinned and pulled away. "Should we continue about homecoming or are we good?"
"Yeah, homecoming sounds good."
"Let's see. We've already have our individual songs planned out as well as the duet. We need outfits…." Alicia said, sitting on stage.
"You know I won't be dressed up all nice in something I pick out."
"I know. And you already know that I'm gonna be dressed all in black."
"Looking forward to it."
"I'm looking for to you looking handsome." She winked.
Yeah, Flash was ready for homecoming.
Meanwhile outside, Alexis was curled up in a ball, crying heavily until Monomi appeared in her car.
"Alexis….." She turns into Marcus. "It's okay."
"How will I forgive her, you and Monica for snapping off like that….?" She hugs him tightly, her tears staining his shirt. "I feel like a idiot, a little bitch…" She whimpers, hiding her face in Marcus' chest.
"Look, just calm down and apologize. I forgive you…." He rocks her back and forth, trying to keep her calmed down.
"Thanks, Marcus….." She sniffled after several hours of crying all day. "You're awesome….." She wiped her eyes dry.
"No prob." And they both held each other close….. as 'friends'.
(Alicia: *cuddles Flash*

Flash: That was a thing.
Nikki: 0.0 Who are you?
Alexis: That's Flash. *plops on the couch* He is my sister's boyfriend…
