A/N: Did you guys see the last MyMusic episode? I particularly loved the Hintern 2 friendship, but I feel so bad for poor Intern 2 and Scene. Well, there was a Scentern 2 hug on MyMusic Live! *fangirl explosion* I think this is the first time in months that Intern 2 and Scene have hosted MyMusic Live together.
We'll-be-chasing-the-sun: Our writing inspiration must be in sync or something because it's weird that we keep posting at the same time. I never said anything about Intern 2 loving Scene. We'll see what happens with Metal and Scene.
XxUnwrittenxX: That's what Metal would say. Maybe I was giving an emo Rayna vibe, but that was unintentional. Again, I wasn't very specific about Intern 2 liking Scene, and there's no need to kick Indie's and Idol's asses yet.
DaCupCakesPhiles: I'm curious to see some of your stories you deleted, and I probably have some of those mindsets too which I blame on sickos who went to my school, wrestling with my cousins, and sugar. Intern 2's anger is OOC, but it depends on what caused it. No guarantees on where Techstep is going.
EmmyMetal: That could be the case, but then again, it might not. You should definitely write some MyMusic fanfics, so we can welcome you to the MyMusic community.
RulersAreRoyal: I agree since I find Scetal friendship adorable too. I don't really ship it romantically though.
I want to clarify on the bird thing. I know I said in the fourth chapter that Scene got the birds, but I just edited that chapter to make sure they were not the right ones for the sake of continuity so she would have to travel to get the ox peckers.
"SAY WHAAAAT! SAAAY WHATTTT!" said Metal after he heard what the doctor said, "We are NOT related!"
"Oh, I just assumed since you seemed so concerned about this young lady. I mean you should have heard him go on and on about how worried he was about her. For a little while, he even refused to treatment on his arm until he made sure she was okay," explained the doctor gesturing at Scene, "I just got a very brotherly vibe from that. I guess I was mistaken." After hearing that, Scene got up and went over to hug Metal without damaging the sling his arm was in.
Metal's face reddened and said, "There's no need for that Scene. It's not like I'm actually your brother. Besides, I don't do hugs." Metal quickly detached himself from Scene.
After Scene let go of Metal, Idol rushed over to Scene's side and said, "I know it's my fault that you're like this, Scene. I shouldn't have tried to change you. You may not believe me, but I am truly sorry. I want you to know that I'm going to do everything I can to make it up to you. I know it won't make up for everything, but I'll try. Do you need anything Scene, like something to drink or to eat?"
"Oh Idol, I could never be angry for too long. I don't really like that emotion. If you really want to, you could get me some Red Bull," said Scene. After hearing Scene's request, Idol immediately headed out to get it. Metal still didn't think that was enough to make up for changing Scene, but it was better than nothing. He didn't understand how she stayed so happy all the time.
The next day at work, Metal thought back to that moment when he saw Scene skip into work like nothing had ever happened. He had to admit that she bounced back pretty quickly. Idol continued to make it up to Scene by catering to her requests by fetching things for her, and even helping her with work. It kind of amused Metal to see Idol being Scene's little servant for the day. He also saw the way that Intern 2 was staring at her when she worked, and his gaze looked a little more than just concerned.
"What the hell are you doing looking at Scene like that? You're with Techno, remember," accused Metal.
"I'm not looking at Scene in any special way," said Intern 2 defensively, "I have no idea what you think you see, but there's nothing there."
"Don't bullshit me, Intern 2! Why are you even with Techno? You guys have nothing in common. Can't you at least see what you guys are doing to Dubstep?" said Metal with outrage.
"What are we doing to Dubstep?" asked Intern 2 with concern. He hoped it was just jealousy that would motivate him to go for Techno since he tired of being Techno's "boyfriend."
Metal, in frustration, was about to tell Intern 2 what Dubstep almost did, but Dubstep came up behind him to stop him with an expression that said not to go any farther with what he was saying.
"Dubstep, he deserves to know what you were driven to," said Metal, who was still a little haunted from that night, "Dubstep tried to kill himself the night Scene was in the hospital because he couldn't take being without Techno. When I tried to stop him, I broke my arm, and that's why we were in the hospital that night."
"I had no idea," said Intern 2 who finally broke down out of guilt and confessed, "Techno and I aren't really dating. She said that she had tried everything to try to get you to notice her as more than a friend, but that nothing was working. After all these years, Techno was desperate and decided to resort to making you jealous. That's where I came in. She wanted me to pretend to be her boyfriend around you so you would be envious and would try to win her back. I wasn't going to help at first, but I eventually chose to help so I could just try to bring a little happiness to the two of you. I wanted to help in the name of love. Techno assured me that this would work, and I went along since I didn't really know what to do to about this kind of stuff. It was Techno's plan, but that doesn't absolve me from a huge amount of blame. Please don't end your life, Dubstep. Techno loves you, only you. Now you can be together."
Both Metal and Dubstep stood there in front of Intern 2 with their mouths open in bewilderment.
After moments of silence, Intern 2, who was distraught at what had almost happened to Dubstep, burst out, "There's nothing I can do to fix this. Just punch me, Dubstep! Get out all your anger. I deserve it."
Despite Dubstep's confusion and hurt, he still didn't want to lash out at Intern 2. As messed up as this situation was, he saw that Intern 2 meant well so he shook his head.
Intern 2 responded to this by egging on Dubstep even more by saying, "Just do it, Dubstep. I can take it!"
Metal, who was usually was the angry one, couldn't even make himself punch Intern 2. He was totally capable of doing it, but he couldn't after seeing Intern 2 pathetically flail around waiting for a punch with tears threatening to stream down his cheeks.
After seeing that it could give him some peace, Metal said, "Alright, I'll do it" as he punched Intern 2 in the face. Metal made sure he did it lighter than he usually would do, but enough that he would keep up his tough reputation. Dubstep patted Intern 2 on the back after the punch in a sign of forgiveness. As Dubstep was doing this, Techno walked into the room and walked towards him.
"Now you go get her, Dubstep. There's no one standing in your way now," said Intern 2.
Dubstep faced Techno and said, "Bwwap dub bubub waawha booomm duuubbb," with a bit of disappointment and accusations in his tone. Before Techno could say anything, Dubstep headed out the door much to Metal and Intern 2's confusion.
While this was going on, Hip Hop was trying to discreetly sneak out the door of MyMusic, holding a duffel bag. Unfortunately, Dubstep bumped into Hip Hop on his way out, and the contents of the duffel bag spilled out. The bag contained cosplay costumes, Shakespearian era costumes, and scripts to musicals and plays with Hip Hop's name on them. Everyone in the office, including Scene, Idol, and Indie who had come out of their offices, saw these items. Hip Hop shared a panicked glance with Intern 2 as the rest of the staff looked for an explanation.
Sorry for not updating this for a while. I've suffered from writer's block, and I've been too damn lazy. Weirdly enough, I got the idea for the thing with Hip Hop during my haircut earlier today, and the whole chapter just came together after that. I get inspiration at strange times. Anyway, I really appreciate you guys reading and reviewing. It means so much to me and keeps me going.
