Molly: Hmm. (Pulls out clipboard) so, where are we.Disclaimer?
Gohan: (holds up sign saying: Molly doesn't own FLCL!!) Check!
Molly: Funny interlude?
Goku: Look what I can do! (spray paints Vegeta's hair pink)
Vegeta: Gaah! (Attacks Goku)
Gohan: Check!
Molly: Long, slightly boring explanation of story?
Goku: Uh.
Vegeta: Umm.
Gohan: Molly, that's your job.
Molly: (looks down at clipboard) Oh Yeah!
Well, that was fun. ^_^ Anyways, I'm writing this as a companion to 'Dear Diary'. Warning: that does not mean that 'Dear Diary' is a prequel/prologue. Anyways, since the reason I'm writing this is because of my other story I'm gonna do a little rant on that. First, I'd like to thank taotapp and Vicious one for their reviews. They were the inspiration for this story, hence why it's dedicated to them. ^_^. Next comes a very short explanation for 'Dear Diary'. The idea was to make it seem boring, commonplace. It reflects Naota's feelings of boredom and melancholy. You can *see* why he's waiting for Haruko to come back and make his life interesting. Also, notice the subtle hints I dropped. 'Everything's being erased' etc. ^_^
Now, without further ado, lets get to 'The World inside my head'.
The World inside My Head
By Molly Jean
Chapter 1: welcome back.
Naota slid down the hill, completely ignoring his girlfriend's complaints. He laughed maniacally when he saw the Vespa, a yellow blur coming towards him with unnatural speed. He pulled his bass off over his shoulders and held it out in front of himself like an axe.
"Come and get me Haruko!" he yelled, laughing happily. From the road above Eri screamed, she watched the Vespa come closer and closer until time itself seemed to stop-
***
Eri stopped screaming. Naota was thrown into the air, the girl on the Vespa slammed into the hill.
"Oh God, Naota.No!" Eri scrambled down the hill. Hoping that by some miracle Naota would be okay when he crashed into the pavement. She slowed, and came to an eventual stop. Somehow Naota had climbed onto his guitar (a/n: after he woke up), and was floating quietly back down to earth; much in the same way a witch might ride a broom [1]. He smiled as he landed near Haruko.
"Well, look who grew up." She said, smirking as she righted her bike.
"Hey, Kid." Naota grinned and helped her to her feet.
"Hey, - Haruko."
"Nandaba! What the hell was- that?" Eri stopped once again when she saw Haruko take off her helmet.
"It's okay Ninamori. I'm fine, we're both fine." Naota rested his guitar on his shoulder and laughed at his girlfriend.
"Nandaba." Eri looked lost.
"You still call each other by your last names? How, childish." Haruko had that crazed look in her eye, the one that said 'watch out' Naota got the idea.
"Go home Eri. I promise, I'm okay." Eri nodded weakly, a little confused; still she didn't take her eyes off Haruko. "Yeah, see you, Naota." She walked away.
***
As soon as she was gone, Naota hugged Haruko as tightly as he could. He couldn't believe she was back.
"What are you doing here?"
"I don't really know." He looked up at the alien who had turned his hometown inside out so many years ago.
"I'm glad you're here Haro."
"Don't get too comfy Takun. I still want Atomsk's power, you're still a threat."
"Whatever you say."
***
Haruko gave Naota a ride home. During which he told her everything. How he had discovered what he could do with his bass, why Canti hadn't left, about how boring Mabase had become in the past decade.
"Sure." Haruko said during a break in his monologue.
"After all, I did leave you with it." When they got to the bakery, they avoided Naota's family. Making their way quietly up to Naota's room, they passed Canti. Haruko winked at the robot, all Canti did was return to its room.
***
If Haruko was surprised when she walked into Naota's room, she didn't show it. The bunk beds were still there but the rest of the small bedroom was drastically different. The walls were painted lime green, all the furniture black, and it was most decidedly a mess.
"I see we've been a busy boy." Naota grinned, setting his bass down next to his desk.
"I needed something different." He sat down on his bed and looked up at her.
"My head hurts." Haruko pushed him down on the bed and smirked.
"Poor little baby. Want mommy make better?" Haruko leaned down, her magenta colored hair falling into her lemon yellow eyes and brushing against Naota's face. He was suddenly reminded of Eri.
"We shouldn't." He tried to loose himself in her alien eyes.
"We shouldn't do this." Haruko whispered into his ear. They laid there for a long while. Until everything came flooding back, and their dreams caught up with them.

[1] I got the idea from the last episode of the anime, when you see the bass strum itself. I know it's a little far fetched, but.
Molly: Yes. That's it, at least for now. Hope you like it. I explain any OOC with this; it's been a decade since the anime. By the way, does anyone know what grade Naota was in when the anime took place, or what 'Eyebrows' name is? I need to know for the next chapter, if any one knows they will get a cyber cookie. ^_^ Now, where is Gohan.
Gohan: Please review (smiles big) please?
Both: Bye. ^_^
P.S. Mizu-Hotaru! You know who you are. Review or I will sic Kitani on you! And the guys are not above kidnapping Hee-chan to help me do it.
