Shirp looked at Snart. Snart looked at Trash. Trash looked at Raku-Chan. Raku-Chan looked at Hiyoko. Hiyoko looked at all the birds. They they would have to confront reicheru. Trash and Raku-Chan werent as scared because they knew Reicheru would never hurt them. They all talked aobut what to do. Snart and Shirp looked at each other withw orry. They didnt want anyone to get hurt. They wondered with Saruya would be able to help them. why else would she be there.

"We should go and try to find Rei-Chan nya~!" Raku-Chan said. she was being serious earlier but now is back to being playful and fun. They all agreed and hit the town, all while Trash was quietly singing some song called Anaconda by some singer named Nicki Minaj. Shirp never liked the music he listened to but found this one catchey. As they walked through the town they saww something out of the corner of their eys. it was... Komaeda the Hope Boy!

"HEY YOU STILL HAVENT PAYED FOR WAHT YOU DID TO THE BIRDS" Hiyoko yelled at him. Komaeda the Hope Boy just stood there. waiting.

"he's just standing there... menacingly..." Shirp said. Komaeda the Hope Boy really was just standing there...menacingly. like he wanted them to come coser, and Hiyoko fell for that trick. She ran up and kicked him over, stared at him the face and shouted

"SAY YOU'RE SORRY TO THEM. NOW" she yelled as she pointed to everyone

Komaeda the Hope Boy looked confused. there were no birds. just the same people from before with 8 others. was it 8?it kinda looked like 7 but he felt like there 8 people there. he realzied that those people were the birds from the other day. they no longer were hopeful. he no longer had any meaning for them. but the whole reason he stood there was because he knew they would go after him. giving time for Reicheru to come and get Snart. Trash's song ended and he looked forward and saw Reicheru hiding in the distance

"HIYOKO GET BACK" he shouted louder than normal because he couldnt hear himself very well because of the headphones. Hiyoko heard that he sounded concerned so she jumped back. Komaeda the Hope Boy stood up. and just stood there again.

"what does he want" thought Shirp. was this all to get us here so Reicheru can do something. they might be working together.

"HOPE BOY YOU NEED TO STOP THIS NYA~" Raku-CHhan was serious again. this was never good because she isnt serious that often. this means that she was serious.

Komaeda just stared at them "I cant. it's already begun!" he said as he did hat strange laugh again. he flew into the air and disapeared while shouting
"HOPEHOPEHOPEHOPEHOPEHOPEHOPEOE"

"well that was weird" Hiyoko said just watching. I guess Reicheru saw it was a bad idea to attack now and dispeared as well. The group all went out to ice cream.

"This ice cream is really good nya~ I just wish they had mochi ice cream~" Raku-Chan said as she took a big bite of ice cream from a cute lil bowl.

"I've never had ice cream before, this is delicious!" Ryouta said. he's the cloest to Hiyoko so I guess he's going to be more of a main character than the others.

They all laughed and agreded. they were all happy and there was no fighting. and thats all that mattered. they were at a huge table too. there's 13 people sitting together eating icecream laughing smileing and tlaking. its good to all be happy. but Shirp felt that something wasnt right. where there 13 people there? it felt like there was only 12, but he counted 13 people sititng there. maybe he was freaking out and maybe being paranoid. He eventually said to Snart and I gues severyone else but mainly Snart

"What will we do when Reicheru and Komaeda the Hope Boy come back?" he asked.

"we'll just have to see. it seems to be just us now. everyone at work is going back to the main place to take care of other things." Snart responded

"huh. I wonder why Saruya would get involved." Shirp asked. he didnt know and no one else did. but they finished the icecream. one the birds, actually was always a bird and never had a human form didnt have ice cream actually. he had pudding but then spit it out because it wasnt 'true pudding'

They all went home and Trash continued to listen to his bad music. he actually put the mp3 on a speaker so everyone could dance and forget about all the troubles. Shirp didnt like his terrible music. so he just sat there and read trying to ignore them. He felt someone sit next to him who was also reading. he was one of the birds that was with Hiyoko. He just read regular books instead of manga comic books. He also felt like something wasnt right with this bird. He couldnt tell what it was. But it was almost like he wasnt there. but he was?

"oh um. what're you reading?" Shirp asked. he didnt know all of them yet and didnt want to be rude.

"I dont know... the title of the book wasnt written on the cover or on any of the pages" he said quietly without looking away from the book. Shirp thought that was a little rude. so he tried to continue a conversation.

"Oh, uh. I'm sure you already know who I am, I was told by Ryouta that Hiyoko told everyone about me and Snart and Raku-Chan and Trash. but what's your name?" Shirp asked with a bit more courage than the first questhun.

"Nageki...Fujishiro..." He said even more quitely still reading his book. I guess Shirp figured out his personality and how liked to read, at least he knew his name. but something still wasnt right. suddenly Raku-Chan got a phone call! She answered it and Trash turned down the music so she could talk.

"Moshi-Moshi this is Raku-Chan desu. Oh hi Rei-Chan!" Raku-Chan answered. everyone looked shocked and went quiet. Rei-Chan. Like Reicheru? That's right, of course they're still in contact with each other. but what did Reicheru want?

"Oh... Nya... i'm sorry Rei-Chan but you've been kinda mean lately, and Komaeda the Hope Boy scares me. I'll just stay ehre with Trash and the others." Raku-Chan said.

They all heard this next line through the phone because it was so loud

"WHAT. YOU'RE GOING TO STAY THERE. WITH SNART!? HOW DARE YOU" Reicheru screamed, it was so loud that Nageki even looked up from his book.

They all were shocked.

"Gomenasai Rei-chan but this just feels better nya." Raku-Chan said kind of seriously. they all udnerstood. Reicheru was going to get Raku-Chan and Trash to join her. Komaeda the Hope Boy probably wanted all the birds to join him. and Shirp was afraid that he still would try to get them to do that.

Raku-Chan hung up the phone and looked at everybody else, before anyone would notice Nageki quickly went back to reading his book. Everyone looked at Raku-Chan and was scared and confused.

"What was that all about" Trash asked. He was very close to Reicheru as well.

"Rei-Chan said that she wants us to help her take revenge on Snart-San. nya~ she said that the birds should join too because they are symbols of hope and Reicheru and Komaeda the Hope Boy are basing this all off of hope." Raku-Chan said. was she in a serious tone again? its hard to tell.

everyone looked around at each other and they all were confused. Raku-Chan already said that she was staying here. but what about Trash? what about the birds? what would they do. Shirp looked at Snart. Snart looked at Shirp. what would they do. this was confusing. I guess they had no choice but to confront the two and talk to each other about their plans. if this was a fight it had to be fair.

they all agreed and left to go find Reicheru and Komaeda the Hope Boy
