(A/N: Hi everyone! Welcome back to One-way out of Shibuya! As I said in this chapter, there will be that Vocaloid Concert (That really has nothing much to do with the story, so it isn't an X-Over because of it.) and a new character, Sheridan, will be introduced! So…
DISCLAIMER: I don't own TWEWY nor I own Sheridan. Sheridan belongs to joshuathecomposer. What do I own you may ask? Yeah, I just own my computer, Penelope and Penelope's friends.
Soooo…HERE'S THE CHAPTER!
Penelope: Not so fast~
CirciFox81314: What.
Penelope: Uh…I never thought I'd get this far…
Everyone: *face palms*
Penelope: Just kidding! Aw right, here's the chapter!
Chapter 4: Sheridan and the Concert!
(The next morning…)
(Penelope's House)
The morning was basically peaceful until…Penelope started singing (Penelope was singing along to the same exact song Yami sang along to in the previous chapter.). It wasn't bad at all and it was pretty quiet, but it was enough to wake Joshua up.
"I don't understand music anymore…" Joshua yawned before getting out of bed (He was in a separate room from Penelope's).
Joshua knocked on Penelope's door.
"Do you mind turning down the volume?"
No response.
Joshua sighed in annoyance before opening the door.
What did he see?
Penelope in an outfit (similar to a Vocaloid one) and she was singing along to a song, and Joshua hated to admit it, but she was a great singer.
"Wow. I didn't know you could sing, Penelope." The song immediately turned off as Penelope went silent in surprise.
"What's wrong? Did I scare you?" Joshua asked before smirking.
"N-N-No…?" Penelope answered, sounding a bit shaky.
"Why did the song turn off?" Joshua asked, sounding suspicious.
"It was right at the end of the song when you spoke." Penelope lied.
"Are you sure?" Joshua asked again.
Penelope went silent.
"Ever since you've been here, my games have been acting up. I don't know why. I hate it so much…" Penelope said quietly.
Joshua was thinking quietly.
"You know what's funny though? Everyone always says video game characters aren't real. I believed that, until I got TWEWY. I mean my first copy. I felt like you were watching me. I strangely thought it was some sort of glitch for my game. When all of that happened last week…I learned that thought they seem nonexistent, their worlds could be very real." Penelope told Joshua.
(A/N: As a quick note, for this series, the game character's worlds are very real. They aren't real in reality. I wish they were though…But that's just me.)
Penelope turned to face Joshua. "And to think you were the one to prove to me game worlds were real. I have to say, with you around, who knows what'll happen? You actually made my lifelong wish come true."
"Lifelong wish? What do you mean?"
"My lifelong wish was to actually go to a Video Game world." Penelope indicated.
Joshua was surprised.
"And I REALLY wanted to go to the Kingdom Hearts world…but still…I also wanted to go to the Vocaloid world."
"Hmm…I could arrange that." Joshua told Penelope.
"I know…but still…The Vocaloid Concert I'm going to…ugh…only if Miku and her friends were real to last the concert! That would be awesome! No projectors… just…reality."
Joshua smiled before going over to Penelope's PSP.
"Time to come out, Vocaloids." Joshua whispered before the screen flashed and then the screen turned white.
"I hope you enjoy that concert, Penelope." Joshua indicated before leaving the room.
"Ugh…why did he tell…me…that…?" Penelope then saw her PSP screen was white and Penelope almost had a heart attack.
"AHHHHHHH! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HATSUNE MIKU: PROJECT DIVA 2ND GAME?!" Penelope shouted.
That scream managed to wake Neku, Shiki, Beat and Rhyme up and they went into her room to check on Penelope.
"Why you screamin, yo? Somethin happen?" Beat asked.
Penelope was frozen.
"Penelope…?"
Then Penelope began crying.
"Joshua! What did you do?!" Neku angrily asked.
"Nothing. I just told her to enjoy her concert."
"Why is the screen on her PSP white?!"
"Why are you asking me, Neku dear?"
"Don't call me that. Anyway, what did you do?" Neku asked.
"Nothing at all."
"I know you're lying, Joshua. What did you do?"
"Now why are you asking me?" Joshua asked.
"I know you did something, Joshua." Neku answered.
"I can't tell you what I did. It's a surprise~"
Then a knock was heard at the door.
"I'll get it." Penelope said in annoyance.
When Penelope opened the door, she saw a girl with curly, brown hair and blue eyes.
"Um…hi. I'm Sheridan. I kind of just moved in next door."
Penelope smiled.
"Really? Are you from here?" Penelope asked.
"Yeah. I moved from an apartment to the house next door, and I thought it would be nice to meet my neighbors before that concert."
"As in the Vocaloid Concert? You're going?" Penelope asked.
"Yep! You kind of are dressed up like one." Sheridan answered.
"Cool! Maybe I should show you around the neighborhood. The concert doesn't start for a little while." Penelope indicated.
Joshua was at the door behind Penelope and he was about to ask who was there until she left and slammed the door in his face.
"Have I become a ghost to her or something?" Joshua asked.
"No, she was talking to a person and then she left." Neku answered.
Joshua rolled his eyes.
"Ah-ha. Well, we're also going to that concert." Joshua indicated.
"Wha? We're going to that concert, yo?" Beat asked.
"Joshua, how can we go to a show if we don't even HAVE tickets?!" Neku angrily asked the Composer.
"Easy. I know just how to get in the show." Joshua answered before typing a cell phone number in and putting it up to his ear.
(Hachiko Statue)
"Hey Penelope…have you played a game called "The World Ends with You"?" Sheridan asked Penelope.
"Um…yeah, I have. Why do you ask?" Penelope nervously asked Sheridan.
"Do you know who my favorite character is?" Sheridan asked.
"Uh…no, who is it?" Penelope asked Sheridan.
"Joshua. I think he's kind of cute."
Penelope turned red.
"Oh…really? Personally, he's a REAL pain to me." Penelope stated, remembering what happened in the past couple days and the week before.
"Why?" Sheridan asked Penelope.
"Joshua was REALLY annoying in the second week, personally. And then when you find out he really was the one who killed Neku, it pisses me off, because Neku had to put up with him for a week, and then during that duel, he kills him, again! It made me want to whack him on the head with my DS, not that I could, but still!" Penelope stated.
Joshua apparently heard everything she said while passing by the Hachiko Statue with Neku, Shiki, Beat and Rhyme, not that they were noticed.
"And she has to say that behind my back." Joshua growls.
"She has a point there." Neku indicated.
"Shut up, Neku." Joshua growled angrily.
"Ah, but still. Joshua is still a good character." Sheridan indicted.
"I know that. But still, what happened if you got stuck in the game world somehow by some freak accident?" Penelope asked.
"Hmm…I don't know, I'd try to meet the TWEWY characters and know them a little better." Sheridan answered.
"Okay, but wouldn't you want to go back home?" Penelope asked.
"Maybe and maybe not. It depends. Why? You sound like you've actually been to the TWEWY world before." Sheridan indicated.
Penelope paled. "Oh…uh…no? If I have it might've been a dream."
Penelope then noticed Joshua smirking at her and she paled so much, she turned white.
"Hey Penelope, what's wrong?" Sheridan asked.
"Oh…um…nothing, Sheridan. I must've been hallucinating." Penelope answered.
Penelope noticed Joshua giggling at her lying. "I swear when I get home, I'm going to…Ugh…it's pointless…" Penelope thought quietly.
"Penelope, are your friends meeting up with you to come to that concert?"
"Yep…they were going to meet up with me really soon, you should meet them."
"What do you mean, Penelope? We're already here!"
Penelope then noticed Roselyynn, Yami, Saki, Circi, Hikari, melody, Mortimer and Leo.
"Hey guys! This is Sheridan." Penelope told her friends, introducing Sheridan.
"Hi Sheridan! Are you coming to that Vocaloid Concert?" Melody asked.
"Yeah! It was kind of hard to get those tickets." Sheridan answered. Melody smiled. "I know, right? I like the Vocaloid music, but only if they were real. Wouldn't that be awesome?"
"Yeah…guess what happened to my Vocaloid game?" Penelope asked sadly.
"What happened, Penelope?" Mortimer asked.
"I left it on for a bit and I was probably thinking and it went white the time I looked at it again! Just like the first copy of my TWEWY game." Penelope answered.
She looked to see if Joshua was still there, but surprisingly, he wasn't.
"Hey Melody, when does the Vocaloid Concert start?" Yami asked.
"Um….oh crap."
"What's wrong, Melody?" Leo asked.
"The Concert starts in 20 minutes!" Melody cried.
"That's not very long."
"BUT the place where the concert is being held is farther from here."
"AHHHHHHHH! Well, if we want to get there, we better run!"
The group then began running as fast as they could.
(Concert Hall)
"*Pant*…*Pant*…Oh my…I was scared we wouldn't make it! And we're first in line too!" Penelope indicated before smiling.
(A/N: Technically, they weren't FIRST, but they think that.
"Tickets please." The guy at the ticket-taking counter said in a gruff-voice.
Melody gave the guy the tickets (including Sheridan's as well) before the group proceeded into the Audience Room (Or whatever the heck it's called but I'm calling it the Audience Room).
(Audience Room)
Penelope and her friends got front row seats and waited for the concert again. Strangely, there was a bit more seats than usual. About 5 more to be exact. Then Penelope noticed Joshua and her eyes widened.
"Oh…my god…" Penelope said suddenly.
"What's wrong?"
Penelope nervously pointed to where Joshua was and everyone (but Sheridan at the moment)'s expression looked like this: O_o.
"Penelope…WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?!" Roselyynn angrily asked.
"I dunno!" Penelope answered before throwing her arms up.
Then Penelope noticed that Neku, Shiki, Beat and Rhyme were there too and she cried, "My life…is over."
(20 minutes later)
Penelope waited impatiently for the concert to start. It should've started by now, honestly. Then one of the guys came out from backstage.
"Hi everyone. I know you were expecting a concert, but strangely, we're having some technically difficulties with the projectors. They worked just fine earlier. You may have to wait until…" Then a very familiar voice shouted, "No, there's no time to wait anymore!"
Then everyone gasped at who they saw.
"H-H-Hatsune Miku…? And the others…? Penelope stuttered.
Miku smiled at Penelope.
"Honestly, I know someone brought us here, but I forgot who…what was his name again…?" Miku asked.
"I think it was…Joshua...oh yeah! Joshua!" Rin answered.
Penelope literally stood up.
"I knew he did something to my game!" Penelope shouted angrily.
"What…? What are you talking about Penelope?" Sheridan asked.
Penelope went silent before sitting back down.
"Well Penelope…He didn't say why he did it, but he said something about you liking Vocaloid, so he had to free us from our world." Len indicated.
Penelope stared at Joshua and he smiled at her causing her to sigh.
"Um…so how long will you be here?" Yami asked.
"Well be here till a bit after the concert." Miku answered.
Penelope fist pumped.
"How about we start this concert?"
"YEAH!" The Audience shouted.
"Why is everyone here so interested in this?" Neku mumbled.
"Neku, quiet. The concert is starting." Joshua growled.
(A/N: I honestly don't know how long a concert for Vocaloid is and I don't know the number of songs either, since I have sadly never been to one. So this one is going to be about two hours. And I can't write the whole thing either.)
(2 hours later)
"That…was the greatest Vocaloid concert…EVER." Penelope said happily.
"Wait!"
Penelope then noticed Miku and her friends.
"Oh…uh…hi Miku! What's up?" Penelope asked.
"Did you like the concert?" Miku asked.
"Yeah…how come?"
"Joshua was hoping you liked the concert. He did mention that to us earlier."
"Earlier?"
"Joshua was here earlier with some of his friends." Miku indicated.
"Oh…yeah. I saw. I'm still mad he messed with my game without saying a word about it." Penelope growled.
"I said I hope you enjoy the concert, that's all." Penelope then noticed Joshua.
"Oh. It's you."
"Wow. Is that the best you could come up with?" Joshua asked, somehow trying to taunt Penelope.
"No. I could've said something much more insulting."
"Really now?"
"Yes. You have no clue what else I could say. It would be much worse than you may think." Penelope answered in a serious tone.
"Alright then. Say bye to Miku and her friends. They don't have much time left here."
Penelope turned to Miku and the others. "Bye Miku! I hope I can see you again soon!"
"Me too! I'll be sure to remember you!" Then before vanishing, Miku and her friends waved goodbye and Penelope waved back.
"You know Joshua, even though you are a pain in the neck, at last you actually did something nice for me, even though I still think you can be a jackass sometimes." Penelope indicated.
"I can't tell if that was supposed to be a compliment or an insult."
"You know what? Just can it, already! I can't let Sheridan see you or the others!" Penelope snapped.
"Wha? Why not yo?" Beat asked.
"I don't want her to know what…"
"Penelope! Are you coming?" Penelope heard Sheridan ask.
"Yep! Just a second!" Penelope then turned to Neku, Shiki, Joshua, Beat and Rhyme.
"I have to go, but promise me you'll try staying out of sight, okay?"
"No promises." Joshua stated.
"You know, Joshua, if I had time, I'd slap you across the face." Penelope indicated before running to meet her friends.
"She has a point there."
"What do you mean by that, Neku?" Joshua asked the orange-headed boy with Headphones.
"Ah, nothing. Just saying something that came to mind." Neku answered.
"I think we should listen to Penelope." Shiki told Joshua.
"And I think she's trying to take charge."
"No, I think Miss Penelope has a point there." Then for the first time in a while, Neku and his friends saw Mr. H.
"Mr. Hanekoma? Where did you come from?" Neku asked.
"I can't answer that, but I think you should listen to Penelope. Just because she's limited in this world doesn't mean she can't use her abilities. Due to our presence, her power from our world is coming back to her." Mr. H indicated.
"Good point. But still, it's like she's trying to keep us prisoner."
"She is trying to keep from attracting attention. Now I suggest you should be listening to her, and try to stay out of sight, okay?"
(With Penelope)
"Hey Penelope, who what kept you so long?" Sheridan asked.
"Oh…um…nothing."
"And...Why do you have wings similar to a Reaper's from TWEWY's?"
"Wha…? I don't have wings!" Penelope lied, trying to hide her wings from Sheridan.
"Yeah, good point. It wouldn't make sense why you would have wings."
Penelope sighed to herself mentally.
She knew it would be a little challenging to hide the TWEWY related stuff from Sheridan, but Penelope knew she shouldn't give up.
But apparently, that was when it was impossible to hide it.
"Hello Penelope~" That voice was so recognizable at this point; Penelope wished she had a mute button.
It was kind of like a horror movie as well, because Penelope then noticed the blonde haired Composer, smirking at her, and she snapped. She was definitely going to kill him. He didn't listen to what she said, and she was going to definitely kill him.
At this point, Penelope didn't even give a damn if Joshua was Sheridan's favorite TWEWY character.
"Joshua you ignorant pest, why didn't you listen to me?!"
"Because as the Composer, I don't really need to listen to you, considering the fact you are a lower rank."
"Penelope…is that…?"
"Yes, Sheridan. It's Joshua. It is literally Joshua from The World Ends with You. And…I'm going to do what I should've done last week. I am going to kill him." Penelope said in a strangely calm tone.
"You can't be serious." Joshua stated.
"No, I am dead serious." Penelope growled before a dark aura shrouded her.
"Ugh…this is kind of the end of last week all over again…" Saki sighed.
"What? Wait, something similar to this happened last week?" Sheridan asked in surprise.
"Yep. Roselyynn, Yami and Saki couldn't tell us the truth at first, but Penelope had to reveal what happened last week. Apparently, she somehow got trapped in the TWEWY world." Hikari indicated.
Sheridan was surprised and then she sighed. "I'm so envious!"
"No, you are honestly lucky you didn't have to deal with what I dealt with last week. I almost died from a Fusion LV 3 attack from Mr. Composer here and his freaking Proxy!"
"You were the one who attacked anyway. AND you deserved it."
"Joshua, you have no room to talk right now, so shut up." Penelope told Joshua.
"And you're just going to leave me out of this conversation? Wow."
"Can you please just SHUT UP for once?! I swear if you don't, I will slap you!"
Saki sighed. "Penelope, do you need me to put a barrier around him?"
"Maybe. But you're the only one who can break it you…Wait, where's Joshua?"
"He just left a couple seconds ago. Why?"
Everyone stared at Yami like, "WHY DIDN'T YOU DO SOMETHING?!"
"Hey…where's Sheridan?"
"She went after Joshua when he left."
Penelope gasped.
"Damn it! She has no clue what she's doing! I have to go get her!"
Then M'sieur Lapin appeared.
"You sure it's a smart idea to go after Joshua?" M'sieur Lapin asked his Mistress in thought.
Penelope nodded.
"I'll go with you."
Penelope thought it was a good idea to go alone, but then, Roselyynn, Yami and Saki stopped her.
"We're coming too. We aren't going to let anything bad happen like when you almost died last week."
"Good point. Do you know what would be an awesome theme song right now?"
"No time, Penelope! We should be going."
"Alright. Bye!"
"Bye!"
Then Roselyynn, Yami, Saki and Penelope left and Hikari sighed.
"Okay…HAS SHE GONE INSANE?! YOU ALL REMMEBER WHAT HAPPENED TO SHO AT THE END OF WEEK THREE IN TWEWY, RIGHT?! WHAT IF THE SAME THING HAPPENS?!" Hikari asked in panic mode.
"Should we go after them just to be safe?" Circi asked in worry.
"I don't know anymore! Wasn't Penelope also planning to visit her grandmother today?"
Hikari gasped.
"Oh no…What if something happens to her?"
"If something does, then… I don't know…"
Hikari frowned.
"What are we going to do?"
"I don't know now…"
(With Penelope)
Penelope alsong with Roselyynn, Yami, Saki and M'sieur Lapin FINALLY caught up with Sheridan and Joshau.
"Sheridan, you better stay back." Penelope indicated.
"Why?"
"I can't let you get hurt."
"But Penelope…how will you see your Grandmother if something bad happens?"
"I don't really know."
Joshua was a little confused.
"If you were going to visit your Grandmother, then why did you follow me?"
"So we could get Sheridan! I honestly thought this was going to be like the final battle in Tower of Druaga."
"What's Tower of Druaga?"
"Nevermind that. Roselyynn, Yami, Saki, get Sheridan to safety."
"We said we would help you! We don't want you to die like what happened a few years ago with that accident!" Yami indicated.
"What accident?" Joshua asked.
"It's none of your business."
"Alright then. I honestly wasn't planning to even fight, so I'll be going back now."
"Good. That's what you've should've done in the first place. I'm going to go visit my Grandma now." Then Penelope walked off.
"I can't help but wonder what that accident was."
(A/N: There's the end of chapter 4! Sorry if I STILL haven't had Kitaniji, Konishi, Sho or Higashizawa appear yet. I was planning for them to appear in this chapter, but I never got to it. And that accident will probably be explained in the next chapter, but that accident is kind of important in the story, since it is the reason Penelope's Parents haven't been seen by the TWEWY characters. I also apologize for the long update. So, see you all in chapter 5! Also, as usual, review if you can and no flaming. Bye!)
