Life Changing Decisions Chapter 11: The fair drama part 2
.
.
It was about 9pm and Flippy was kind of tired of waiting for Splendid and Lammy. He was here with Flaky at a prize corner in order to kill some time but they had yet to show up. They had planned to spy on Ritsu and Miko to see if they finally get together.
It seems that plan was no longer going to happen because he was sure Splendid left with Lammy to go make out in a corner or something. He sighed, well it doesn't matter at least he was having fun. Flaky was good company.
"Do you think they decided not to anymore?" Like Flippy, Flaky had noticed that her two friends were taking too much time. Although she didn't mind since the idea of spying on her other two friends didn't really suit her.
"Yup." It was official they weren't coming back. He needs to make a mental note to punch Splendid for at least not sending a text message to cancel the plan and not make them wait for so long like a bunch of idiots.
"Oh…well I'm kind of hungry, want something?" She asked shyly. Just in time too Flippy was getting hungry. He could practically feel his stomach growling.
"Yeah sure." As they walked towards a food station Flippy checked his phone to see if he even received a message from Splendid. So far nothing. It was a shame he was kind of worried on how his friend Ritsu was doing. He never did have a lot of confidence in himself.
"Everything will be okay." As if she had read his mind Flaky reassured him with a smile. "I'm sure they can handle themselves." She knew Miko and although she didn't know much about Ritsu from what her friends have told she was confident that everything was fine.
Flippy sighed. "I hope so."
Unbeknownst to them Ritsu was in major problems at the moment.
.
.
.
"Sh-Shelly!?" Ritsu squeaked. His voice had never sounded so high before. Except when he's singing. But that doesn't matter he just wanted the ground to swallow him up whole. Fucking Shelly! Out of all of his stupid ex's it had to be Shelly the whore!
"OMG Ritsu I missed you!" She wrapped her arms around him looking at him seductively. "How have you been?" Her voice was annoying as fuck. Miko rolled her eyes at her.
Ritsu felt like dying. Great he loved his shirt...now he has to burn it, well no matter he can always buy a new one. "Right…I've been good." He muttered at her. He looked at Miko with a "help me" face.
Getting the memo Miko quickly got in between them. "Alright enough we have to go Ritsu our friends are waiting." She gave Shelly a fake smile. "Now if you'll excuse us." She grabbed Ritsu's arm and pulled him away.
"I don't think so." Shelly had a grip on Ritsu's other hand. She pulled him back to her. "Me and my pumpkin have things to talk about." She glared and scoffed at Miko's direction. Oh she tried, Miko tried her best to not straight up punch the chick in front of a lot of people. It was mostly for the children.
Meanwhile Ritsu cringed inwardly when Shelly called him pumpkin. Ew no he was not her pumpkin! "I have to go okay." He escaped Shelly's grasp and quickly tried to leave with Miko. But suddenly once again he was pulled back.
"But baby." She faked puppy dog eyes. "I wanted to talk about us."
US!? It's been years there never was no us! "You have got to be shitting me Shelly, what us!? There is no us!"
She looked "hurt" and placed a hand on her heart. "But Ritsu baby I-."
"Don't call me that." He yelled. "You literally tried to fuck my two best friends and you expect me to forget that!?"
"I don't know what I was thinking! Ever since we broke up I've missed you dearly. Give me another chance please." She was practically pleaded at this point. But Ritsu wasn't stupid, he will never return with this bitch.
"No." And with that he grabbed Miko's hand and left.
That's when things got ugly.
"Fine! I didn't want to be with a freak show anyway!"
Freak…she called him a freak…he HATED that word. He felt his blood boil and his fist clench. But he tried his best to calm down for Miko's sake. She looked at him worriedly and quickly grabbed his arm and dragged him out of there before Shelly could continue ruining their night. They just kept walking and walking in till they weren't able to hear Shelly's yelling. They finally made it to a bench where they were able to sit and rest.
"I hate that bitch." He said bitterly. If they had been alone in a secluded area he definitely would've hit her. He could care less if she was a women. Equality bitch.
Miko who was still concern for him placed her hand on his shoulder. "I do too but don't worry about her she can't do anything to us." She smiled at him. Ritsu nodded, Miko was right that bitch can't do shit to them.
Words don't hurt, their just words. Just words…
Freak.
"Ritsu…?"
Nothing could possibly hurt him…because words are just words. That's what the psychiatrist said. And those types of people never lie…right? He felt a sudden touch on his cheek. Snapping out of his trance he looked over to see Miko, hurt in her eyes along with worry. Realizing he was making her sad he gave her a smile.
"Sorry…I just spaced out I guess." He patted her head causing a light blush to appear on Miko's cheeks. It was something he remembered doing before when they were small. Weird, he thought he never really talked to her before or even got to know her. But these pasts days he's been getting sudden flash backs of things he never thought actually happened. He never mentioned this to anyone, not even to his friends Flippy and Splendid. Ever since that day…ever since he was obligated to get a job. He didn't understand why now or why this was even happening. Unconsciously it just…happened and he can't really explain it.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Miko said worriedly. She was more than just worried really. She's known Ritsu ever since he was little and she knew how vulnerable he can get. Last time that happened…she was unable to him.
"Say…Miko."
"Yes?"
He looked hesitant. He didn't know how to confess this secret to her but he felt like he needed to tell someone. What better person then Miko who's known him all her life. So he mustered up the courage and finally asked. "Do you…remember when I was…in middle school?" Middle school…it was all blurry and even though he thought he lived a normal life all this time. It was merely a lie…he never did. Something happened he just knows it but he doesn't remember it.
Her eyes went wide for a split second but soon she looked…depressed. He was surprised by this reaction. "Yes…you don't?" She asked him hesitantly. Teto always told her to be careful when the time came.
"No." He looked to the ground. "Lately I've…been getting these flashbacks." He gripped his head. "I don't understand…I thought I've been living this sort of life but really I was…living another reality." The heaviness of his words hit Miko right in her heart. She knew one day someone was going to have to tell him the truth.
"Ritsu…I'm not sure what happened with clarity and Flippy refuses to talk about it but…" She hesitated. She can't tell him…she wasn't sure how. Teto told her how but…was there just no other way? Be honest and hide nothing. She gulped loudly. "You were…in the hospital for a long time." She started to shake. She was there…she saw him…his state was…it haunted her dreams for so long.
"What!?" Ritsu couldn't believe what he was hearing. He was in a hospital!? "How? For how long was I in there and why?" He needed answers. And what does she mean Flippy refuses to talk about it? Flippy was there!?
The sudden memory made Miko whimper in pain. She hated remembering it…the reason why it even happened. "You were beaten up and…" She choked on her own words. "You were badly hurt…in the head…the blood…the…" She couldn't take it anymore the tears that were threatening to fall just…fell.
Everything was a revelation to Ritsu. He had no idea he was badly beaten. The only thing he remembers was being bullied but…wait. "What happened? Miko I know it's hard but…I really need to know." He pleaded.
Miko looked at him with tears in her eyes. She nodded in understanding. She was the only one that could possibly help Ritsu right now. "I remember Flippy coming to the mansion and…he was a complete mess. Beaten up and blood everywhere…he was hysterical…looking for Teto." She took in a shaky breath. "He said you were on the verge of dying and…everyone was just…shocked and paralyzed. Teto and Ted quickly took you to a hospital and…the doctors thought you weren't going to make it." The mere memory made Miko want to just cry. When she heard those words she just couldn't believe it. She remembers crying all night. "You had…a really bad wound on your head…you suddenly went in to a coma."
A coma…he had gone into a coma? Ritsu was in disbelieve. Such a thing was kept from him for so long…how did he not know all of this? "How did I…survive?" On the verge of death…the doctors thought he wasn't going to make it…so why was, no better question was…was…for how long was he out?
"A miracle I guess." She sniffed and dried her tears. "You were out for three years."
He choked. "Three years!?" He was out for three fucking years and nobody bothered to fucking tell him!? "How come nobody fucking told me!?"
"Because we all promised Teto…she…you woke up not remembering anything and…Teto wanted you to live normally so we all promised her not to say anything." She explained. They all had good intentions but all the UTAUs knew that one day…he was going to start remembering.
He wasn't mad. He could never be mad at them. He just knew they all didn't mean to hurt him. But he still had unanswered questions. "Why was…no scratch that…I was being bullied right? But why? Actually no I feel like I already know that answer." Ritsu sighed and rubbed his head. It was starting to hurt. Noticing he was taking all this well Miko sighed in relief. "But…why was I beaten up so badly to the point of almost dying…and Flippy was there!? I thought I met Flippy in high school." He was confused, extremely confused. But he most likely didn't know because he forgot everything.
Noticing his confusion Miko shook her head. "No actually…we've known Flippy ever since we were kids." The sudden revelation left Ritsu shocked. They were childhood friends!? He's known Flippy all his life and he had completely forgotten. Wait…we?
He looked at Miko confused. "We?"
Miko scratched her cheek nervously. "Well…you probably think you've never really talked to me that much before." She started toying with a piece of her hair. "The truth is we were inseparable ever since I first entered the UTAU household." She shyly smiled and blushed remembering Ritsu's sudden declaration of friendship. It was funny and sweet. She remembers laughing and having fun that day.
This sudden new revelation shocked Ritsu…again. A sudden memory of a smiling and giggling girl came to his mind. That's why…he can't stop thinking of her. Why he loves her smile and the sound of her laughter so much. He's always have…that was something he never forgot. Well he did but his heart didn't. "I…wow…I guess that in a way explains a lot." He laughed nervously rubbing the back of his head.
She giggled, the blush still present. "Yeah I…developed feelings for you around the time we entered elementary school. It was a mere little girl crush at the time but it developed even more as time went on…you know?"
"Did I…ever know?" Considering he can't remember shit he wonders if Miko ever confessed her feelings for him.
"No…but I was going to tell you but…suddenly…that happened." She looked distant for a second. He wondered if she suffered deeply for what happened.
"I see…I'm sorry. You must have been devastated seeing me practically ignore you after years and years of friendship." He suddenly hugged her. The action no longer seemed foreign to him. "I'm sorry I couldn't remember you." Tears began to fall down his cheeks. "I'm sorry."
Miko felt tears of her own begin to form. "It's okay." She soothed him. "I forgive you." She hugged him tightly calming him down with her words of reassurance. It wasn't his fault after all. That's why for years she hated his bullies…their reasoning was…cruel and crazy. Suddenly she found herself looking in to his eyes. That look…of caring and love. It was the same one he use to give her. None of them realized their faces were mere inches from each other. She leaned in placing her lips on his. The long awaited kiss they've both been longing for was finally possible. No interruptions, nothing that could possibly molest them was nearby. It was a nice and sweet kiss.
The taste of Miko's lips were apple flavor. No surprise there he remembers clearly she loves apples. It was a taste he suddenly became addicted to. For Miko it was like millions and millions of fireworks went off. Bright colors filled the sky and it was just the two of them against the world of about five minutes.
Ironically the fireworks show had just begun.
.
.
.
He was bored. She was bored. They were bored.
"I hate Splendid now." Flippy grit his teeth in anger. Fucking Splendid had yet to appear and the damn fireworks show was going to begin in about an hour. He didn't know what to do or how to keep Flaky from dying of boredom. "Sorry Flaks I don't know what to do, we've been on almost every ride for the past three hours." He looked at his petite friend apologetically.
She waved her hand in understanding. "No it's okay I understand besides I had fun anyway." She sweetly smiled at him. Flippy suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.
The fuck!?
"That's great so did I." He returned the smile. It was Flaky's turn to feel her heart skip a beat. A light blush crept on to her cheeks. Honestly speaking she had been developing feelings for him for the past year and a half. He always lived alone for as long as she could remember. She never questioned it but she was curious.
"Flippy…I never asked but…how come you always lived alone?" Risking to make Flippy mad she asked him. He froze for a few minutes but finally sighed and looked at Flaky.
"It's a long story actually." He laughed bitterly. "But I'll give you the short version, basically my mom died and my dad was always away. I don't know for what or why since my mom never talked about it but I lived alone for so long now." Flaky felt bad, maybe she shouldn't have asked him at all. Flippy noticed her look of guilt. "It's okay you know…I wasn't always completely alone…actually…I never told anyone but…I've known Ritsu all my life."
Flaky looked at him shocked. But…she thought they met in high school. "I…don't understand."
Flippy chuckled. "Yeah well…he doesn't remember…because of something that happened." His breath suddenly got shaky and he looked pale. Flaky sudden grew concern. "I promised myself to forget about it but…I hate myself you know…I wasn't able to help him." His fists tighten as his look grew distant. "I was weak." He said angrily. On instinct Flaky hugged him tightly. They stayed like that for a few minutes. To Flippy it felt like hours and although he felt like he was ready to explode Flaky's company was enough to calm him down. Enough to confess what he kept for so long.
"I saw it happen…I saw the way they were beating him up." The sudden memory of Ritsu in pain screaming for help was present. No one…no one bothered to help him and that made Flippy's blood boil. "I tried…I really did but it wasn't enough." He remembers running in and punching on of the guys on the face while kicking the other in the stomach. But he was weak so…it didn't last. They didn't hurt him as bad as they hurt Ritsu. "They just kept calling him a freak, telling him he was a waste of air…I hated seeing my friend in pain. He was a good person you know, he didn't do anything wrong. He just wanted to sing and make his family proud."
"I know." Flaky hugged him again rubbing his back in circles.
Flippy felt like crying. "I saw them…they started to hurting him with objects. I knew they were taking things too far. I knew if they continued they could kill him. I tried getting up but my legs were weak, my arms were weak. Everything in me was weak!" He punched the table they were sitting at. This caused Flaky to flinch a little. "The rocks…his head…the horror…their last words…"
Fucking freak will never be as good as the vocaloids.
"What?" She looked at Flippy confused.
"They said…fucking freak will never be as good as the vocaloids." Punch. "Then I understood…they weren't just hurting him because of his appearance and all that." Punch. "They were fucking hurting him because they were fucking crazy motherfucking fans!" PUNCH. Crack.
Flaky couldn't help but gasped. Miko never told her the reason why the UTAUs hated the vocaloids so much. Now…she understands. "So that's why...-"
"Yeah, ever since that day Teto declared war on them. The UTAUs promised to never ever let anyone get hurt because of them." Flippy had also made that promise that day and although people just thought he doesn't talk to the vocaloids because he was friends with Ritsu, who happens to hate them, they weren't completely wrong. There was just more to that reason. Splendid never knew about this incident but he never questioned why they both hated the vocaloids.
"Do they even know?" She asked. She wondered if the vocaloids even know about this incident.
Flippy shook his head. "No…no one really bothered."
"Oh…" Flaky looked to the ground in thought. "But…wouldn't it be unfair to hate them because of that…I mean it wasn't their fault they probably didn't even know." In her mind she was sure the vocaloids would've never allowed such thing to happen. She's met Flower and Lily before. They seemed really nice.
"True but…just think about it. How would you feel if something like that would happen to someone you care about all because of some crazy asshole fans? It's like the fandoms. They suddenly get filled with crazy obsessive people and everyone starts hating them including the very thing the fandom was about." He explained. He understood Teto and everyone else's reasoning behind this. And although Ritsu never really knew the full on reason. Flippy knew deep inside that hatred came from that very incident as well.
After some thought Flaky understood. She would also feel angry as well. Now she understood Miko's guilt whenever she accepted an invitation from one of the vocaloids to go out. "I understand…I would be the same if it happened to Miko." She clenched her chest. Flaky is not one to hate but honestly speaking she would…she would hate them as well.
"Of course…Ritsu lost his memory because of it. Three years in a coma…the guy is a fighter. The doctors genuinely thought he wouldn't make it but the UTAUs never lost hope." He chuckled slightly. "They knew one day he would wake up." The memory of Ritsu's hand suddenly making a movement when he went to visit. The memory of when he reacted to Miko saying she missed him. The memory of the words of support everyone would give him a small tear would appear on his cheek. "And he did." The cheers of happiness from everyone when he finally woke up. "But…he didn't remember anything." The devastating news of his lost memory. The sad looks. But in the end all that mattered to them was that he was fine and awake. "Ever since then Teto invented a life that never happened. The UTAUs had agreed to this and…so did I. I pretended I had just met him when he entered high school."
It all made sense to Flaky now. But there was still a question present in her mind. "Where does…Splendid fit in all this?" Surely she couldn't forget the third musketeer. They most likely met later on but she was curious to know if he knew anything at all.
"We met Splendid in middle school. But he was in a different class so we only hung out with him during lunch time and after school. He wasn't there that day. In fact he knew nothing. He was absent that day due to him coming down to a sickness. I kept the information from him." He wasn't proud of lying to Splendid but…at the time he was too sensitive and impulsive. He knew for sure he would have gone to find the people who did it.
"How did you manage that?" She asked curiously. They went to the same school so surely the whole school must have known.
"Only the principal and teachers knew. Teto asked to keep it a secret. I told Splendid he transferred schools and he believed me." Again he wasn't proud but he didn't want his friend to end up blaming himself. He was sure Splendid would think it was his fault for not being there to help them.
Flaky nodded. But this new information suddenly made her wonder. "But…how did you explain to him why Ritsu didn't remember you guys?"
"It was hard but since it had been three years he assumed he must have forgotten due to all the work and pressure and all that. He does sing after all I guess Splendid also assumed he went on tours or something." He recalls Splendid's confused and somewhat shocked expression when Ritsu asked who they were. Of course Flippy quickly jumped in and said they knew each other from middle school. Ritsu looked confused, he probably knew he didn't have many memories of a lot of things so he let it slide and believed them.
Thus the three amigos were back together again.
"Will you ever tell him?" Flaky quietly asked still looking at the ground.
"I don't know…I'm not sure if I can." He too also looked to the ground. "It's been like what? About seven years, he would probably hate me for not telling him his best friend almost died."
Once again Flaky pulled Flippy into a hug. It felt right and Flippy didn't want to let go. The warmth he felt being in Flaky's arms was nice and soothing. Suddenly the sound of millions of fireworks was heard. He thought about Splendid, it was better if he never revealed this to Splendid. He was sure he would never forgive him.
Unfortunately for Flippy…Splendid heard everything.
.
.
.
"Splendid you heard him he didn't want to hurt you and I'm sure.-"
PUNCH.
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! I WAS LIED TO ALL THESE YEARS!" He yelled, tears visible in his eyes. "My friend almost died. My other friend thinks it's his fault and I thought everything was fucking fine but it wasn't!" Tears suddenly began to fall down his cheeks. "My best friend…he lost his fucking memory…and I didn't even know…" He fell to his knees tears coming down his cheeks even more. "He was in pain and my other best friend was in a lot more and…I thought everything was…fine." His breath was shaky and uneven. Lammy felt tears of her own fall. She's known these boys since high school and she never imagined such a secret was…there.
They had been having fun all this time at the fair that they had completely forgotten they were going to meet up with Flippy and Flaky to help out Ritsu. Finally finding them they ended up stumbling upon a very big revelation. And Splendid felt hurt…he felt horrible even. Everything he knew…his life…everything. It was all a lie. Nothing was true. Ritsu wasn't fine. Flippy wasn't fine. He…wasn't either.
The three amigos were anything but fine.
"Splendid…" She hugged her boyfriend tightly. Afraid that if she let him go he would fall apart. She was afraid he would do something stupid. She gets it, she understands. Nothing was what it seemed. Nothing was painted a happy color and nothing was fine at all. One can't say everything will be okay because in a situation like this one there are no words that could possibly make the person that's in pain feel any better. Lammy understood that so…she could do nothing more than to hug him. Hug him with all might. Kiss his cheek and let him know she was here. That she won't leave him alone.
The sound of the fireworks can be heard.
Everyone had enough of this fair drama for the night.
.
.
.
Everyone looked high and low.
But they were nowhere to be seen.
The fireworks show had just begun and Handy wondered if the three amigos and their respective partners were going to come or not. They all guessed they were probably too busy with each other to remember that they promised to meet up with everyone here. Even though everything was going well and fun Handy couldn't help but feel like something went wrong. He felt worried…worried for the three amigos. Worried for his friends. Sniffles who was close to Handy could see his uneasiness. He wondered if he also felt the same thing he did. Yes even Sniffles felt like something wasn't right.
Actually everyone had that same feeling.
They couldn't describe why or for what reason but it was just there. And it was nagging everyone.
"Okay that's it. Am I the only one that feels like something is wrong?" Cuddles had been the one to voice what everyone else was feeling. Everyone quickly nodded in agreement. Some even felt relieved they weren't the only one who felt this way. It was weird since everything was fine and everyone was having fun.
That is in till the sudden noise of a table begin thrown was heard.
"FUCK YOU FLIPPY!"
And Splendid's voice.
Everyone quickly turned to see what the hell was going on. Only to see Splendid pick up another table and throw it at Flippy's direction who quickly dodged it. The visible figures of Lammy and Flaky trying to stop the fight were seen. Everyone quickly went over there to stop the madness.
"Splendid hear me out!"
Dodge.
"Can't believe you I thought you were my friend!"
Throw.
"I am! That's why I couldn't tell you!"
Another dodge.
"You should have anyway!"
Another throw.
"Splendid…Flippy, stop!"
No amount of yelling could possibly stop them now. Both were hurt. Both weren't right in there mind. It was hard and it was painful for them both. What were they supposed to do!? Thinking quick Handy and Cuddles jumped in and grabbed Flippy while the twins grabbed Splendid holding them both back.
"I won't forgive you! YOU HEAR ME!"
"Understand! I didn't want you to suffer like me!"
"And what makes you think I wanted to let you suffer alone!?"
Flippy froze.
"I couldn't…I thought…everything was fine Flippy. I thought you were okay…I thought Ritsu was okay. I was happy when we were all finally together."
Flippy held his head low. Of course…Splendid wasn't mad because he was lied to…he was mad because Flippy decided to deal with the burden of the pain by himself. Because he decided to deal with it alone and not let Splendid feel that same unbearable pain.
"I…I'm sorry I never noticed." Splendid started crying and he didn't care if all of his friends were watching. He didn't care about anything. He just wanted to cry. The twins let him go slowly only for Splendid to fall to his knees. Flippy was also let go, he still held his head down. But he too ended up falls on his knees. Although they couldn't see they were sure Flippy was crying too.
The audience that they had were more than just their friends. All the vocaloids and UTAUs were watching the scene unfold, also random bystanders were there.
"I'm sorry Splendid…I just…didn't want you to suffer." He covered his eyes in order to stop his tears. It was fail attempt. He couldn't stop crying.
Splendid looked up and shook his head. "I know…you fucking asshole."
A sadden filled chuckle was heard from Flippy. "I know."
The two friends were on the ground defeated. Everyone watching felt tears form in their eyes. They couldn't imagine what made them break down like this. Of course only Flaky and Lammy knew exactly what happened.
Unbeknownst to all of them Ritsu had seen and heard it all.
"You guys are both assholes."
Flippy and Splendid ceased their crying to look up at Ritsu. He too had visible tears streaming down his cheeks. Beside him of course was Miko who had went over to Flaky and Lammy to let the boys sort this out.
"You guys didn't have to suffer so much for me."
They both shook their head. "You're our best friend stupid." They said in unison. Ritsu's eyes widen, he covered his mouth to stop the sudden scream of pain he wanted to let out. After everything he found out today he just knew…he really wanted to punch something and scream.
Flippy and Splendid got up and quickly hugged Ritsu. The three amigos cried out in pain. The scene caused everyone else to cry too even though no one knew what happened. Well almost everyone Teto and the rest of the UTAUs had a feeling they probably already knew.
The fair drama was finally over.
.
.
.
"Well…that was a very eventful night."
Here everyone was sitting a big table. The fair was closing for the night and after everything that happened they all decided it was better to just sit, eat and rest. The three amigos had all sat down in their own table to talk things out. Flippy told Splendid everything while Ritsu listen. He didn't know about this. It was already a big revelation that he knew Flippy since they were kids. That fact that he met Splendid in middle school shocked him as well. Miko didn't know much about that fact which is why she never mentioned it. But she did know Flippy was keeping the secret from him. All the more reason to let Flippy be the one to talk about it.
Ritsu confessed to getting mild flashbacks of things he had forgotten. Flippy and Splendid filled in those blanks. He doesn't remember everything but at the very least he can say he remembers some of his childhood and days in middle school.
He also ended up remembering why he was beaten up so badly that day.
"The vocaloids huh? I guess that's why I hate them so much." Ritsu sighed. It wasn't easy to accept and forget something so major like that.
"Yeah that's why the UTAUs hate them so much." Flippy began to explain everything that had happened when he was in a coma. About who the monthly competitions started, the hatred and the fact that it pained Teto to make Ritsu work in the vocaloid cafe but she didn't know where else she was supposed to take him. This of course surprised Ritsu, he thought she enjoyed seeing him suffer in such a cringe worthy place.
Splendid sipped on his milkshake. "It does explain a lot." He placed his hand on his cheek. "Whatever did happen to those bullies?"
"After a good beaten from me, Miko and a lot of other people they were arrested and convicted of almost murder. They were ultimately all put in to an asylum due to insanity." Flippy explained. He took a bite of his French fries and continued. "After that I don't know I heard rumors that they all committed suicide." He shrugged.
Splendid shivered a little. "Well shit."
Ritsu shook his head. "I can't say I feel bad because I don't but holy shit didn't expect them to possibly kill themselves."
Flippy waved his hand nonchalantly. "Like I said it was just a rumor. They could still be very much alive. Not like I care though." He snickered.
Splendid joined in. "True."
Ritsu sighed and smiled looking up at the sky. "Well this is the start of something knew right."
They also looked up at the sky.
"Right."
"Yup."
All three sighed at the same time. Smiles filled their faces as all three suddenly began to laugh. Today was indeed crazy. What they thought was going to be a normal, fun fair day turned into the ultimate drama fest. Things like those people just never expect. They also never expected something as big as that to be revealed in such a day too.
"Oh the irony right?" Ritsu who had been the first one to stop his laughter shook his head in disbelieve.
"What?" Splendid asked, smile still on his face.
Flippy rolled his eyes. "The fact that all this happened at a fair which is place where people come to have fun is just hilarious." He laughed again.
Ritsu nodded. "Indeed." He suddenly looked over to see Miko laughing with her friends. That sight brought happiness to him. In the end he doesn't regret knowing the truth. After all behind the truth were things he never thought he would dearly miss. Or maybe he did know but he just couldn't remember.
The kiss that they shared today was the proof of that. He loves her, he loves her a lot. And he never wants to let her go ever again.
.

The fair drama is over! xD
I'm not gonna lie I did cry while writing some of the scenes xD I think I'm doing something good if I can cry with my own work xD
Anyway I think I never really hinted Ritsu's sudden random memories appearing but actually I did hint it but not all that much. Ritsu never should have remembered he was bullied since his memories of that were wipped off completely. He didn't realize that though. There were other hints of what happened actually, if you noticed them good for you :)
Anyway, now you all know why the UTAUs hate the vocaloids so much. I think it's logical and the example of fandoms is a perfect way to explain. Sometimes people take things too far to the point where it effects other people. Like the incident in the steven universe fandom where they drove an artiste to kill herself. People take things to the extreme that it just...provokes people to want to leave. It's that mental instability that causes things like that to happen.
Of course not everyone is bad but we have to admit that those types of things could happen.
Anyway next chapter will be a more light hearted chapter ^^
It's...surprising to me how this project just...evolved into something more. What started off as a simple fun, comedy, filled with some romance story turned into something more then that and I'm proud.
I have other projects in mind and a story I plan to release on Ritsu's birthday :D But I have yet to finish chapter 1 so I can't promise anything.
But as always, thank you all so much for following this story. It means a lot to me. I always deemed myself as not good enough but you all make me think otherwise uwu
Next chapter: when a date goes wrong, it goes wrong...but in a good way?
