A/N: This takes place long before the festival (The beginning of the semester to be exact) and MC doesn't exist in this world. However, the main character of this story is Sayori's childhood friend. So enjoy as this follows a more vanilla feel with casual conversations between the Dokis and their new clubmate.


Inside a small bedroom, a young teenage boy slept on his bed with his body stretched across it. His pillows were on the ground and with his blanket at the bottom of his bed. Loud snores filled the room while he slobbed endlessly.

"Tridon!" A loud voice called out from outside his house, "Are you awake?!"

"Where's the leak ma'am?" The boy, Tridon, softly moaned as he turned over.

"Tridon come on!" The voice called out again, "We're gonna be late for school!"

The word 'late' echoed through Tridon's ear. His eyes shot open as it echoed once more, "Late!" He yelled.

"He's awake now." Outside his house, a teenage girl with short, coral pink hair. She chuckled and leaned next to his front door, "Usually I'm the one that's up late. Looks like I win today!" The door flew open as Tridon fell out in front of the girl, "Good morning Tridon."

"Good morning Sayori." Tridon responded with his face in the concrete.

The girl, Sayori, looked him up and down before adding, "Your pants are on backwards, that's the wrong blazer, and is that a piece of bread in your hair?" Sayori bent down and took out what was stuck in his hair and nodded, "Nope, just a piece of fluff from you pillow."

"Ah damn." Tridon quickly rolled back into his house with his door closing behind him. In that split-second, he rushed back out and looked at Sayori, "And?"

"Perfect. Almost." Sayori licked her thumb and pressed down some hair that was sticking up, "Now you're good."

"Alright." Tridon looked at his watched and his eyes widened, "We're late!" Tridon grabbed Sayori's wrist to help her get some speed.

That's me. Tridon. In my 4th year of high school and ready to make this year the best it could ever be! I don't know how, but I'll do it with my best, childhood friend at my side, Sayori.

I've known Sayori for as long as I can remember remembering. She's been there for me since we were in pre-school and I've been there for her. I doubt anything could separate us. Unless we end up going to different colleges, then yeah. That might separate us.

However, both Sayori and I have promised to attend the same college so that we can still hang out as always.


When they arrived at the front gate, they saw the student council president standing at the front, "I forgot that the SCP would stand at the front." Tridon commented, "But we can juke her out right?"

"Maybe you can..." Tridon turned around to see Sayori lagging behind, "But I don't think I can..."

"Oh no." Tridon jogged in place to wait for Sayori to catch up. The student council president watched them from a far and tapped on her watch, "I got it!" Tridon yelled, "Come on Sayori." Tridon looked at his own watch and added, "We still got 3 minutes."

"I don't know if I have 3 minutes of lung capacity left."

"Guh!" Tridon ran back and picked up Sayori, "If only you did sports when you were younger." Tridon ran past the student council president with a strong gust of wind following them.

"You still have less than 270 seconds Tridon!" She yelled back.

"Yeah put a sock in it Tiff!" Tridon yelled back, "We're heading there!"

"I'll ignore that comment..." The president, Tiffany, mumbled under her breath.

"When did you and the president get so close?" Sayori questioned, "Was it because you were the only one that went with her when she wanted to go out and eat ice cream?"

"Yeah I think so." Tridon answered, "She's not a bad person. She just takes her role way too seriously. I'm actually surprised you didn't come with us since you love ice cream and basically anything sweet."

"I had to finish some homework I was shrugging off." Sayori moaned, "Stupid homework." Sayori puffed her cheeks out and crossed her arms.

"Don't fret. I told you that if you ever wanted help with homework to call me. It'll be a regular thing to do if when we attend the same college."

"Oh. Right..."


We successfully made to class on time with only seconds to spare. Tired and sweaty, we went on with the day and it went on as usual. Same boring classes and same boring people around me. Apart from Sayori of course. However, as the last bell rung, a book was dropped on my head.

"Finland!" Tridon yelled.

"Tridon," Sayori started, "class is over."

"Oh." Tridon stood up and stretched, "Same stuff, different day."

"Not for long." Sayori gleefully commented.

"Whatchu' talkin' 'bout?" Tridon responded.

"I signed you up for the club I'm in!" Tridon stared at her for a moment and grabbed her shoulders, "Tridon?"

"Sayori." Tridon loathed, "I love you my dearest friend. I really do. But why on earth did you think it was a good idea to do that?!"

"I-I'm sorry! I just wanted to hang out with you more after school." Sayori softly explained, "I thought it'd be nice if it was part of my club."

"You know what? Fine. I'll give it this one chance. If I don't like, I'll jump out the window."

"Uh?"

"Don't worry. This is a story. I can't die unless I'm written off permanently."

"Oh."


After walking through the school, Sayori chopped Tridon in his sternum to stop him, "Gack!"

"Wait Tridon." Sayori started, "Before we enter, I wanna warn you that the club is filled with only girls. So I just wanted to..." Almost instantly, Tridon ran into the room with Sayori holding a face disappointment, "Warn you..." Sayori followed him inside and only saw one other girl in there, "Huh. Only Monika is here."

"Monika?" Tridon questioned, "I thought she was part of the debate club."

"She was, but she started this club. The Literature Club."

"Literature club?" Tridon rubbed his chin and sat down for a minute. Sayori watched him as Monika joined, "Literature..."

"Hey Sayori." Monika greeted, "Is this your friend?"

"Yeah. The one I told everyone about." The two stared at him while 2 other girls joined in, "Hey you two."

"Hey..." The short, pastel pink hair girl paused when she saw Tridon in deep thought, "What's wrong with him?"

"I don't know..." Sayori answered.

"Is this the friend you told us about?" The tall, purple hair girl asked, inciting a nod from Sayori, "Is he okay?"

"I think so."

Tridon slammed his fist on the desk, starling the girls, "A literature club for literature!"

"Is that what he was thinking about?" Monika questioned.

Tridon stood up and sighed, "I was just trying to figure out how I could fit into this club. I write, but believe it or not, I don't read much unless it's something that catches my eye." Tridon turned to the other two girls and looked them up and down, "Who are they?"

"They're Natsuki and Yuri." Sayori answered, "Natsuki is the cute, short one."

"Hey!" Natsuki retorted, "I'm not cute!"

"I would say you are," Tridon interrupted, "but I'm assuming you would kick my shins into oblivion, so I'll keep my comments to myself."

"And the tall, purple-haired beauty is Yuri."

"Nice to meet you Yuri." Tridon held his hand out and Yuri shyly shook it, "Oh no..."

"What?" Yuri quickly asked.

"You're the shy one!" Tridon yelled, "So let me put the pieces together." Tridon stood up and walked over to the window, "We have the childhood friend." Tridon pointed over to Sayori who smiled at him, "Then we have the possible tsundere. Please don't kick my shins." Natsuki puffed her cheeks out and seemed to get her leg ready, "Then the shy, rather beautiful girl is Yuri." Tridon looked at Yuri who proceeded to play with her hair and avoiding his gaze, "Then we have the other beautiful member who I assume is the president, right?"

"That's correct?" Monika smiled brightly as Tridon opened the window, "Uh..."

"Don't worry. I thought about jumping out the window if I wasn't going to like this place, but instead, I'm gonna do something else." Tridon stuck his head out the window and took a deep breath to yell, "Thank you so much!"

"Who is he thanking?" Monika questioned.

"I don't know," Sayori answered, "but I knew he was gonna like this club." Sayori smiled at Tridon who still had his head out the window and a large smile ear to ear.


At the end of the day, Sayori and Tridon waved off their fellow club members before heading home. Sayori noticed the bright smile on Tridon's face as they walked home, "Did you enjoy it today?"

"I did." Tridon answered, "I'm glad to know someone else other than you is a fan of manga." Tridon chuckled as he tapped his foot on the ground, "She didn't have to kick me for my comment about her being a tsundere though..."

"Well, you told her to do the opposite when you said that, so it was obvious she was gonna do just that."

"Yeah. I guess so."

"What did you think of Yuri?"

"Once you get past her shy exterior, you can get a decent convo out of her, but she shouldn't act so uptight in my opinion."

"Trust me, just getting her out of her shell is hard work enough." Sayori laughed, "We'll have her be a little more laid back." Sayori quickly shot a glance at Tridon and asked, "As for Monika, I saw how you looked at her."

"Ah man, I guess it's easy to see."

"Well obviously. How long have you had a crush on her?"

"I don't know. I think 2nd year?"

"That long huh?" Sayori looked at her bag and added, "You know she's single, right?"

"For real?" Tridon shockingly asked, "I was for sure that she would have a boyfriend. She's practically everything the typical rich, snobby boy would want. Looks, smarts, and just an overall good feeling when you're around her. How could she not?"

"That's exactly why. She doesn't want a snobby rich dude. She wants someone genuine and nice."

"So I have a chance?"

"As long as you don't do anything stupid like that whole thinking tirade, then I think you're fine." Sayori laughed again as she punched Tridon's arm, "You worried me there though. I thought something completely bamboozled you to the point your brain stopped working."

"Nah. I just wanted to figure out a way I could fit in. I know now that I can." The two arrived in front of Tridon's house with Tridon stretching, "Well, I'm heading off now. Are we still up for a day at the arcade this weekend?" Tridon asked.

"That's if I actually do my homework before then."

"I'll help you Friday so we don't have to worry about it at all."

"Sweet!" Sayori hugged Tridon and thanked him, "Thank you so much Tridon."

"No problem. What are best friends for."

"Best childhood friends!" Sayori corrected.

"Right. I'll see ya' tomorrow Sayori." The two waved each other off to rest their bodies for a new semester of fun and adventure. Or craziness. Who knows. Tridon is being written as a weird guy.


A/N: And there goes the prologue. It didn't take much time to begin this or end it. I just shrugged it off for the last week because I'm stupid like that. Take note that this will have a lot of 4th wall breaks and references to other series. It wouldn't be a DDLC series if it didn't have sentience and 3rd party references. Like, come on. Anyway, I hope ye' enjoyed this half-ass attempt at a prologue. I already have some situations the Dokis and Tridon will get into, but if you have any suggestions, put speak your ideas. Take note though, I'm not as well-cultured as you may think. So if I don't do what you suggest, don't take it to heart. I'm just not in touch too much with internet culture.

Another note to make is the name Tridon. It was my old alias for a few years on here and other websites. So yeah. Thought I'd throw it back to some of my followers who remember my old alias. As for those who are wondering where my other DDLC story went; it's still in the works. I've just hit a roadblock with that story. As for this one, this one will be easier to write since I can just write everyday, comedic situations that I can mess around with. The other story is a little more heartfelt and requires more dramatic moments. So don't worry, I'm getting that story on the way. Just be a little more patient.
