It was a long weekend, and Kenzumi and the gang were bored. Senpai was over to visit, as well as Satoshi's new girlfriend MC Adore. They were trying to think of stuff to do.

"What do you guys want to do?" Kenzumi asked.

"Don't know." Satoshi said. He and MC Adore were trying to entertain themselves by playing a game Fork Lifter. Where Satoshi flicked some peas, and MC Adore stabbed them with a fork in time with the rhythm.

It was then that Ms. Kohai came into the living room. She took notice of how bored everyone looked. "A little bored are we?"

"Yep." Kenzumi said. "Not much to do today."

"And Queen Rhythmia hasn't sent down any soldiers to cause some havoc." Satoshi said. "I think this is one of the few moments I want her to try to get what she wants."

"Who's Queen Rhythmia?" MC Adroe asked.

Satoshi was about to explain, when Ms. Kohai suddenly said, "Why don't you guys go fishing?"

"Fishing?" Satoshi asked his mom, as if she was joking.

"Yeah, you could go fishing at the town lake. The weather's perfect."

"The weather is good." Kenzumi said.

"I'm down for fishing." Senpai said.

"I've never gone fishing before." Ms. Beatia said.

"Me neither." Luis said.

"Then this will be your first time." Ms. Kohai said.

"Well then, let's go fishing." Kenzumi said.

Kenzumi and the gang got up from where they were to get prepared to go fishing.

"You still haven't told me who Queen Rhythmia is." MC Adore said to Satoshi.

"I'll explain it to you on the way." Satoshi told her.


Meanwhile, Queen Rhythmia was walking around in the castle courtyard by herself. She started spending time out there to help clear her mind of guilt, but it wasn't working.

She couldn't stop thinking about her mom, the citizens outside of the castle, and most recently, her past.

For the past few days, she had flashbacks about her childhood, and they weren't pretty.

Before she was a strong rhythm user, and before she was obsessive with rhythm in general, when she was a little girl, she was constantly bullied for not having a good sense of rhythm. Everyday when she was at her elementary school, she was picked on and called names.

"You're never going to be an expert!"

"You stink!"

"Why are you even here?"

All of these insults would cause her to come home crying to her mom, and Ms. Beatia would eventually home school her. But this would only make Rhythmia more and more miserable. She really did want to have friends, and she had none. So all she had was her mother, and as for her father...

"Your highness!" General Nixxiom called out as he made his way to the courtyard.

Queen Rhythmia snapped out of her current thought and turned to General Nixxiom, who was holding a piece of paper.

"What do you want Nixxiom?" She asked him.

"I have brought you my plans for our next attack on earth, and I would like to see if you'll approve." General Nixxiom handed Queen Rhythmia the paper.

She had to admit, these plans were pretty ingenious, a lot better than anything Luis ever came up with. But she didn't want to do anything yet, but she felt worried that Nixxiom would blow a fuse if she denied him.

"I'll need to look over this a bit." Queen Rhythmia said.

"Of course, your highness." General Nixxiom said. "You may come to me when you have made your decision."

General Nixxiom left Queen Rhythmia to go back to his quarters. Queen Rhythmia had been starting to trust Nixxiom less and less with each time he came up to her. She didn't know if he was planning anything, but she had a feeling she had to do something if he was.


The group made their way to the town lake, and the only person they saw was a single fisherman. She noticed them and said, "Hello!"

"Hi." Kenzumi said.

"Say, aren't you Ann Glerr?" Satoshi asked. "You're the one who caught the legendary Threefish."

"I sure am." Ann Glerr said with satisfaction.

"What's a Threefish?" Ms. Beatia asked.

"It's the most hardest fish to catch in this lake. I'm one of the few to have actually catch one."

"Really?" MC Adore said.

"Yeah." Satoshi said. "Most of what you'll catch in this lake are Quicknibbles and Pausegills. Even I don't know how to catch a Threefish."

"Do you know how to catch a Threefish Ann Glerr?" Senpai asked her.

"Of course I do." Ann Glerr answered. "It's actually quite simple. The threefish will lick the bait, and after three seconds, you pull the line back. Care to try it out on my lure?"

With that, Kenzumi grabbed the fishing pole. He suddenly felt something tug at the lure, but not by too much. After three seconds, he felt something pull on it, and he pulled it back. And after reeling it in, he found himself with a Threefish.

"Wow, it really is that easy." Kenzumi said in surprise.

"Told you." Ann Glerr said.

So Kenzumi and the rest of the gang proceeded to fish in the lake, catching Quicknibbles, Pausegills, and even Threefishes.
