Hi, everybody. It's me, Sid, again. I just got done watching Zoo-mergency! with Lincoln and Clyde. I enjoyed it because it was really funny and I always love spending time with them, but it got me worried. Anthony likes to adapt the real show's episodes into plotlines here in the Y Universe, so I just knew from the first time I saw a commercial for that episode that my mom's zoo would end up in a financial struggle as well. If it closes, I won't have my job that I love doing anymore and I won't get to see my mom nearly as often.
I called my mom as soon as the episode was over to make sure everything was okay. The zoo is doing just fine! So, that means there's nothing to worry about, right? Nope! I'm not the only character Anthony uses who loves their job. It's entirely possible Anthony's gonna make the Arby's that's also a Goodwill that Two works out close instead.
I just started video chatting with Two to see if anything bad's happening in his universe. I see on the screen that he's in his old bedroom at the orphanage he used to live at. He loved living there so he visits it a lot. And, oh my Arceus, I just figured out what the plot's gonna be! Anthony's gonna make the orphanage close! HOW DARE HE?! Oh, how do I break this news to Two?
Good thing I don't show up on camera so he won't be able to tell from my face that I'm concerned. "Hey, Sid. What's up?" Two says to me, probably assuming I'm in a good mood.
I really don't know how to tell him about what's going on. He doesn't like cartoons, so he probably didn't even know about Zoo-mergency! at all. I guess I could start by making small talk. "Hi, friend. I see you've got new glasses. Let me guess. Your sister Luan wouldn't stop stealing your old ones?" I say. I would've chuckled, but I'm just too nervous right now.
"No, she's only done that a couple of times. These are just the pair I put on once a year for Rectangle Day," Two explains, but I have no idea what he's talking about. Must be some holiday that exists in his universe but not mine. That's not important right now though. I need to tell him about...
Oh, wait. My mom just sent me a text and said it's urgent. This can't be good. "Two, let me call you back. I need to see what my mom needs," I say.
July 3rd, 2021
I'm sorry about this large time jump. After I read my mom's text, I got so angry that I chose not to show you the rest of that day. Let me catch you up.
Turns out, the way Anthony's choosing to adapt the plot of Zoo-mergency! is by having The Purple Heart Pain get my parents and the twins evicted from the building. The only reason she hadn't done so before is because she didn't want Adelaide to have to leave. However, because she's apparently even more of a horrible person than I thought, The Purple Heart Pain is now convinced Ada will choose to still live there instead of leaving with Mom, Dad, Melbourne, and Victoria.
As much as I hate to admit this, I wasn't sure if I disagreed with that. I called Adelaide to ask her and, after she told me she didn't know about Zoo-mergency! either, I asked her where she'd rather live. She hung up without answering. I thought about asking Izzy to read her mind, but I just couldn't bring myself to violate my sister's privacy like that. I also thought about asking her if our parents and the babies could stay with her, but a big part of the reason why she's enjoying Sinnoh so much is because she wanted time away from them.
At first, I thought it would actually be a good thing if my parents and the babies had to move out because then they could come live here in Royal Woods with me. But, before I could even finish telling the others that idea, Mrs. Loud started yelling at me. I never realized it bothered her, but the house is way too full already and four more people is the last straw. I don't really get this though. It's not four people that she would have to take care of, so what difference does it make? Maybe she just doesn't want babies in the house again because they'll remind her of how disobedient Lily was. Or maybe she actually misses Lily and wishes she'd come back home but doesn't want to admit it. This is when I'd have Izzy read her mind so I can find out for sure, but living with a psychic has helped all the Louds get good at keeping their minds clear so their private secrets won't get out.
Anyway, my parents and baby siblings have been sleeping in the zoo and on the Glart every night and eating practically every meal at a restaurant. Mrs. Loud will sometimes let them come over for a visit, but they don't get to stay long. We have to find them somewhere new to live. How in the name of Sonic am I ever gonna do that? It's gonna be the most difficult thing I've ever had to do!
"Actually, it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience," says one of my friends. I'll bet you can guess which one.
"Oh, really, Izzy?" I say in response. I said her name so you could see if your guess was right.
"Yes," Izzy says. "First, I need you to go to a universe called the Howie-verse and find an alligator on a teeter-totter," she explains.
"What's an alligator?" I ask.
"You'll know when you see him," answers Izzy. "Once you do, watch another version of yourself lose a game of Rock Paper Scissors to him. Bring another version of yourself with you and Howie's gonna do scissors, by the way. Then you gotta go to a universe called the Shawn-verse where its Luna is marrying some guy named Jarrod. You need to ask them to send you a video of the wedding. All will be good after you watch that video," she continues.
I don't at all understand how any of that could possibly help with my issue, but I trust my bestie. I just have one thing to say though. "I don't feel comfortable with going to the wedding of someone I don't know uninvited," I say.
"Listen, soldier! Do you wanna prevent your family's homelessness or not?!" Izzy shouts at me. And she's right. I better get started.
The RP1 is broken, so I need to get a portal to this other universe the old fashioned way.
Later That Same Day
I explained to Two what I needed a portal for and his sister Lisa opened one for me. Since I'm gonna need more portals later, Lisa let me borrow her invention. She's really supportive of my interest in science that I share with her, so I like her a lot. I brought Two's boyfriend with me. His name is Sid Chang and looks pretty much exactly like me, so he definitely counts as another version of myself.
I see a seesaw with this universe's Lana on one end and some strange creature on the other. It's no Pokémon, so it must be the thing Izzy wanted me to find. I can't remember what she said it was called, unfortunately.
"You having fun, Howie?" asks Lana.
"You bet, Lana! Let's make this go higher!" says the creature who I now know is named Howie. Wait. Was 'Howie' what Izzy said was the name of his species? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it started with an A and was longer than that.
Either way, I've gotta get this moving along, so I'm gonna go greet them. "Hello," I say to both of them after walking up to the teeter-totter.
"Hi," they both say while waving at me.
"If you don't mind me asking, what is your species?" I ask Howie.
"I'm an alligator," he answers. Right, now I remember.
Time for that game of Rock Paper Scissors. "Remember. Do paper," I whisper to Sid.
"You've got it," he whispers back to me. "Hey, little scaly dude. Will you play Rock Paper Scissors with me?" he asks Howie.
"Sure," Howie answers before getting up from the seesaw. He does scissors just like Izzy said he would, so Sid loses. Everything's going according to plan! I just wish I knew what the heck the plan was.
Onto the Shawn-verse! "I'm sorry we have to leave so soon, but we've got something important to do," I say. "Bye!" Sid and I say at the same time just before we hop through a portal I opened.
"Bye," Lana and Howie also say.
Now we're in the Shawn-verse. This universe's Luna is wearing a wedding dress. "This is such a girly thing," she comments.
This universe's Leni is sewing the dress and she says "It's a dress! What do you expect?" Just because it's a dress doesn't mean it can't be made with what Luna likes in mind. You could make it purple and put skulls on it or something. You'd think a fashion expert like Leni would think of that. Of course, this is a different universe, so maybe this Leni doesn't care about fashion.
Their mom is pointing at Luan and two people I don't recognize and saying "Remember, you three. No pranks at the wedding!"
"Aw, Mom! That's my raison de vivre!" Luan says while she and the two people behind her all frown. I wonder what that thing she said means.
I'm also curious who those two people behind Luan are. I'm gonna go greet them too. "Hello," I say while waving. "I'm assuming you're Luan, but who are your friends?" I ask.
"This is Megan and her sister Mora," Luan says while gesturing her hand at them one at a time to indicate which one is which. Megan has brown hair and eyeglasses while Mora is blonde. Nobody's reacting to how Sid and I just showed up in their house all of a sudden. Anthony's being an even lazier writer than usual with this scene.
"Nice to meet you," Sid says to Luna. "So, congrats on getting married. Who's the lucky person?" he says and asks.
"His name's Jarrod," Luna answers. "We're getting married on August 1st," she adds. I actually hadn't thought about how we'd need to know that. It's a good thing she just happened to want to share that piece of information.
This universe's Lola just knocked on the door and came in with Lily. Lola says "Luna, Lily wants to practice holding your..." I'm not gonna let you know what the last word of that sentence was because my sister Adelaide might watch this vlog and it's a word she hates. ...Although, hold the phone, actually. Another definition of that word is something Pokémon-related, so maybe she'd actually like it? Eh, whatever. She's probably not gonna even think about watching this, so I'm just gonna say it.
Lily's practicing holding Luna's train and Lola's practicing being the flower girl. It's all really adorable. I wish you could see it. Hey, wait a minute! If Izzy can send what I'm thinking to you people in the real world, why can't she send what I'm seeing?! This is Tauros crap!
"Now that's what I call flower power!" Mora shouts, commenting on what Lola's doing.
"Wouldn't it make more sense for the flower girl to be LILY?!" Luan says before doing her trademark laugh and asking "Get it?"
I wish I could get to see this wedding in person but going through with what Izzy said I needed to do is far more important. With that being the case, there's probably no time to readjust everything to accommodate another person being invited anyway. "Hey, will one of you please send me a video of the wedding?" I ask. I really should've sooner but I keep getting distracted. Maybe important situations like my family having nowhere to live isn't an appropriate time to record a vlog.
"Sure," Mora responds. "What's your home address?" she asks.
"My name is Sid Chang and I live at Sid & Izzy's room in the Y Universe," I explain. It used to be called Sid, Izzy, and Leni's room but my universe's Leni was recently murdered. Don't worry though. Izzy let everybody know that she's gonna be resurrected on Halloween. Izzy also said their friend Courtney is gonna properly meet her twin brother Otto that she never knew she had until recently, so I guess that's gonna be a really crazy day.
"Alrighty then. But since the big day isn't until August 1st, expect it to take a while to get to see that video," Mora lets me know. Now that everything's been taken care of, I can have this vlog skip ahead to when I watch that video.
August 2nd, 2021
I just got out of bed and checked the mail. There was a package in it for me and it was a USB drive with the wedding video on it! I watched it and they went through with my idea of Luna wearing a dress with skulls on it. Now that I've done everything Izzy asked of me, it's time to ask her what it all accomplished. "Do my parents and the babies have somewhere to live now?" I ask.
"Hey, she's waking up!" Izzy answers? What?
May 31st, 2021
What the? I'm laying on the living room floor and everyone's looking at me. What's going on? "You went non-conscious as soon as you learned about The Purple Heart Pain trying to get your family kicked out because you got filled with way too much negative emotion way too quickly," Izzy explains.
"So, everything I just went through was all a dream?" I ask.
"Yes," Izzy says while nodding. REAL ORIGINAL, ANTHONY! HAVING SOMETHING ALL BE A DREAM ISN'T AT ALL A LAZY WAY OUT OF FINISHING THE STORY! "Hey, he only does these for fun. If it reaches a point where it isn't fun anymore, he should be allowed to stop," Izzy says.
"What?! You're defending him?" I say. "Don't you hate Anthony like all the rest of us do? Doesn't the fact he makes all our lives miserable bother you?" I ask.
"Not particularly," Izzy answers.
I'd usually respect my buddies' opinions, but... "Umm... Could you please choose to hate him anyway?" I ask politely.
"Yeah, whatever. I don't care," Izzy answers, making me smile.
It's probably obvious, but I made this up as I went along. It's just that I told Tatsunokoisthebest I'd write something about that wedding and his OC's. Then the hype I got from watching Zoo-mergency! got me to finish doing that.
Will you please please please please please please please please please please please please PLEASE tell me if you enjoy reading these? I still find them fun to do occasionally, but I'd like it way more if I knew someone else was interested in it.
