"Goddamn it! Why the fuck does it have to be me!" the Ultimate Inventor shouted angrily, as she glanced at the paper in her hands.

"Morning Hope Academy's Thanksgiving Banquet. Each Class must provide a dish for their grade. You have been selected to provide the Turkeys, we hope you show us your culinary skills." the paper read. It had been signed by Dean Harold J. Winters. Miu Iruma had been selected at random. Even though she had been hoping her fellow classmates had gotten it instead, now she was stuck providing who knows how many birds for their class. She didn't even like turkey.

The strawberry haired inventor growled as she lay back on her bed, her skirt fluttering a bit as she placed her feet on the edge of the bed. She sighed contently, as the fan was blowing up her skirt, the breeze felt nice, she mused. She glanced at the paper in her hand again, seeing what was written on it for the umpteenth time.

"Guess I'll have to break out the piggy bank. Fucking piece of shit, I hope these fucks enjoy the trouble I'm gonna go through for them." she said with a groan.

Miu honestly didn't know what she was going to do. She was just an inventor, not a cook. She was just going to head to the Super Market and pick up all of the Turkeys she could find. Of course she didn't see this note until literally the day before. She was sure her classmates were beginning to wonder where the turkeys were. At this rate, she was most likely gonna have to wing it. She was looking forward to taking a mid morning nap after the heavy shit she had just taken, but now she couldn't even enjoy it. The afterglow was something she was fond of, especially after days of not going to the bathroom. However, she couldn't let her classmates down. She knew Shuichi and Kaede wouldn't stop pestering her, until she either caved, turned into a submissive doll, or worse. Turned into a submissive doll in public, where she ended up caving, losing her shit and having Kokichi laugh at her. That was always the bad choice. She pushed herself to her feet, frowning as the breeze was no longer pleasing her. She grabbed her coin purse and shoved it between her breasts, along with her keys.

"Whole Foods, here I fucking come!"

"Um...are you sure about this Buns?" Chris asked, as he peered through the camera lens. He was in the Home Economics Room, along with Veruca and Lucy. Alice Bailey, his girlfriend of two years, and foreign exchange student, wanted to do something special for Thanksgiving. Something more...healthier.

She had asked Lucy, the Ultimate MMO Player to help her, since she knew her way around computers. Veruca was there because she had decided to not only roast nuts for a Pecan Pie she was making, but also because she had been chosen to provide food for the banquet. She had willingly bought everything, and was currently testing each Pecan to see if it had gone bad.

The Ultimate Veterinarian, who was as vegan as they came, wanted to prepare an alternate meal for Thanksgiving. She just didn't like seeing people killing turkeys for food. She accepted carnivores, and while sad that animals were only raised to be slaughtered, she wholeheartedly thought that eating healthy foods would lead to a better life style. She was completely fit, and was able to do a lot of interesting feats. Of course Chris told her that her previous training with Fenrir had to do with that. He also relented a bit, she spent years in the Militia, and MRE's we're a frequent cause of constipation. Shitting literal bricks was something that wasn't pleasant.

"Honestly Chris, I believe she should do it. I may not eat kale like she does, but I believe making healthy choices is essential for a healthy lifestyle." Veruca replied. She tapped one of the nuts onto the granite countertop scrounging her nose a bit. She tossed it into a red bowl, Where the Bad Nuts Go, as she had labeled it.

"I don't understand...how can you not love pizza? It's so heavenly and cheesy! It's my own personal elixir!"

"Lucy, you are a Gamer. All you do is eat Doritos, and drink Mountain Dew. Not to mention your room smells like Cheetos." the Nut Princess said, cracking one of the good nuts. She inspected it closely before placing in the Green bowl, Where all the Good Nuts Go. Lucy giggled.

"Sorry, sometimes I don't finish all of my snacks. My kitties love the scent of Cheetos." she said happily.

"You know...I would be surprised by this. But me and Luce have been hosting sessions of Dungeons and Dragons in her room every Saturday. Chloe may act like a bitch sometimes, but Chester totally makes her squeal." the Lepidopterologist said, glancing at the camera, making sure it was perfectly set up and pointed at Alice.

"Chester is a wonderful kitty, of course she squeals. He's a lap cat after all, a totally huggable orange tabby!" the girl said, a grin on her face as she thought about her pet cat. Chris just rolled his eyes.

"Um...shall I take my buns down?"

"Don't...trust me, you wouldn't want your hair to get in the food. That's the last thing anyone needs. I do recall one girl baked her crush a pie, with toenails and hair in it."

"Ew." Chris and Lucy utter softly, disgust written on their faces. Alice didn't look to good after hearing that. She reached into her coat, pulling out a small pocket mirror, looking at her make up.

"I must admit, Celestia knows her make up. I look rather beautiful with this eye liner."

"You look beautiful without it too, seriously you don't need any make up." the Lepidopterologist said, causing her to flush. Veruca sighed, shaking her head.

"Such a way with words."

"You're just jealous that he picked Ally over you Ruca." Lucy said.

"Bleeding Christ, why would that matter? I have Jonathan by my side regardless. He isn't a fucking prick either, just for that you aren't getting any of my pie." the Nut Princess said, shaking her fist at the gamer, who had a hurt look on her face. Chris cleared his throat, glaring angrily at the Nut Princess who just gave him a smug look. He continued typing something on the recording software, making sure everything was fine.

"Alright, we're ready to record. Are you ready Buns?"

"Mhmm...I'm all ready!" she said cheerfully, snapping her compact mirror closed. He typed something into the computer, before hitting record on both the camera and the software. Alice adopted a smile, giving the camera a wink.

"Hello the Internet! As you all know, Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I wish to bring you all a healthier recipe so you don't have to kill any cute turkeys. My name is Alice Bailey and I am the Ultimate Veterinarian, I do hope you enjoy this recipe, it's one I'm rather fond of!" she said cheerfully. Chris panned the camera a bit as he followed her, she stopped in front of the stove, where all of her materials had been laid out.

"Today, we're making a Vegan version of a Turducken, or as I like to call it, a Tofucken. So let's get started!" she said cheerfully, grabbing a hold of a nearby glass baking pan, which was filled with some brown liquid. She grabbed a hold of the white tofu block, all the while Lucy, Veruca and Chris were watching.

She had written the entire script, prepared the items and was doing this without rehearsal. Chris had insisted he at least take a look at the script, to edit it and make changes. But she said that she had done that already. Apparently, she had been working on this for two full nights before she decided to go for it, without even a dry run. He didn't know whether to be impressed or worried. Alice gave the camera a smile, she had been pausing for ten second intervals, in post editing, Chris and Lucy would add the music, recipe list and everything else to make the video look pretty.

"So, a turfucken is a chicken, stuffed inside a duck, stuffed inside a turkey. Which is probably the grossest shit I've ever heard of, usually eaten by simple douche bags. Now, our turfucken will start with some lovely homemade tempeh, chopped up small. Sauteed in olive oil and black pepper, mmm...then we add some soy sauce." the girl said, showing the tempeh she had prepared for the camera, stirring it a bit. She grabbed the tofu block and a knife, slicing the side of it.

"Now, we take this beautiful tempeh and stuff it into our tofu block. Once finished, we will place it in our lovely marinade. I used some healthy as fuck ingredients for this marinade. Made with some tasty juice, from the finest fruits and vegetables. None of that artificial bullshit you find in stores. That stuff will give you cancer!" she said cheerfully, as she placed the tofu block in the pan.

"Um...did you know she was going to say this?" Veruca said softly to Chris, who shook his head.

"No...I didn't...she didn't let me look at the script." he whispered back.

"Now...we spoon a little over the top. Ahh...this is gonna be the tits." the Veterinarian said, grinning as she used her hands to soak the tofu block in the marinade. She continued doing that for a few more seconds, before looking back at the camera, that cheery look on her face. With the sweetest and most heart warming smile, she began to speak.

"You know...a perk of this recipe, is that you don't have to eat body parts and shit. Why, some of those cooking show twats, smile as they stuff bread up a birds ass. Isn't that fucking strange?" she asked, a confused look on her face. Chris clamped his mouth shut, trying not to laugh at the serious look Alice had donned.

"After your tofu block has soaked up that delicious goddamned marinade, you wrap it up in your favorite homemade seitan. I make my own seitan because I have no time, for weak ass bullshit."

Alice looked back down at the cutting board, as she wrapped the tofu block with the seitan. She was humming a little song as she did, carefully trying the twine into the cutest bows she could muster. It was honestly quite interesting so see her do this.

"Once you're done, place it in your oven and roast until it's golden brown. You'll wanna preheat this...176 degrees Celsius should do. That's 350 degrees Fahrenheit for all the Yanks...I mean, Americans." she said with a grin, that alluring smile still on her face. She placed the pan inside the oven, closing it. She wiped her hands off and looked back at the camera, giving it a wink.

"Isn't it nice to not be eating fucking corpses? On today's farms, ducks, chickens and turkeys are totally fucked. They're raised in tiny ass sheds, and after a life of asshats beating the crap out of them, they're hung upside down. They're goddamn throats are cut at the slaughter house. Which is nothing more than a dickhead torture palace. If shit like that was done to dogs on a daily basis, people would be like, Jesus Fucking Christ, you cock sucking animal abusing chodes! So how are birds any different? In only the goddamned ways that count? Feeling pain, and fear and shit? Bitch please!" she said firmly. At this point she herself was trying not to laugh. She composed herself, donning another smile.

"You know who eats like that? Weak ass motherfuckers, that's who! So don't be a weak ass motherfucker! Go Vegan!" she said cheerfully, as she had the camera panned to an already prepared dish. She grabbed the salt shaker, pouring some over the tofu.

"I'm going to eat the fuck out of this." she said. She snapped her fingers, a sign to cut the recording, at that moment, everyone burst out laughing, unable to contain it any longer.

"Now I see why you didn't want anyone to read the script. That shit was gold." Chris said, wiping a tear from his eyes.

"I just wanted everyone to be aware of what happens when you eat turkeys. Some of today's farms treat animals badly. I've seen it happen so often, and its really sad. You might not want to go Vegan, but you can at least be aware of what happens. Maybe it'll discourage people from buying from certain farms." she said, poking her fingers together.

"It's perfectly fine. Sometimes you just gotta Think Outside The Bun." Chris said ruffing her hair, a grin on his face.

"Ugh...that was the worst pun ever."

"It was actually Taco Bells old slogan, but yeah." he said sheepishly. Lucy grabbed a hold of his laptop, giggling slightly

"We have to take this to the A/V Room for editing. It's gonna be hilarious, I already have some music selected for it. You wanna come along Ally?"

"No...I wish to stay here and finish making some more of these. I'm also going to help Veruca with her Pecan Pies, she looks like she has her hands full." she said, pointing to the Nut Specialist who had returned to sorting nuts. Her pet Squirrel, Hazelnut, sat on her shoulder, helping her shell the Pecans.

"I see...well you two have fun then. Seriously, awesome work Buns, I'm gonna love everyone's reactions when they see this." Chris said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. She flushed, giggling as she looked away.

"Um...I know you aren't Vegan but...would you mind at least trying this for me?" she asked. He sighed, giving her a nod.

"For you, I'll try anything. But I'm not going Vegan."

"Celestia!" Miu cried, earning a soft scream from the Physicist. She ended up dropping a beaker, which shattered on the ground. A cloud of gas erupted into the room and she quickly backed away from it, hitting a red button. The fans started up, sucking all of the air out of the room, along with the cloud. The two girls left the Chemistry Lab, the doors locking up after they left.

"How many times must I tell you not to startle me when I am working with chemicals?" the brunette Lolita cried, her crimson eyes boring into Miu's light blue ones.

"Sorry, I didn't think you were that into chemicals."

"I am a scientist first and foremost. Though my talents lie in Physics, I practice a little bit of everything. You seem distressed dear, what is troubling you?" she asked firmly. Miu sighed, reaching into her breasts for the paper. Celestia took it, ignoring the warmth and moisture the paper had.

"Hmm...you were chosen to bring turkeys for the banquet. I believe Veruca was selected to do this for our class. Were you at least provided with funds?" she asked.

"Yeah, I just got the prepaid card from the Dean. Thing is, I was so into my work that I forgot. I'm gonna need help, you wanna get some fuckin birds or what?" Miu asked, giving the girl a grin. Celestia glanced over her shoulder, seeing the Chem Lab still closed up.

"I suppose...after all the Chemistry Lab is going to be unusable for the foreseeable future. I was working on a counter agent for Mustard Gas, and it wasn't exactly stable when you decided to greet me." the girl said, patting her skirt as she started for the stairwell.

"Yeah...sorry about that. Anyway, I drafted some blueprints for those Guns you wanted. Are you sure you can make Portal Guns?"

"Of course...anything and everything is possible with Science. If we can create these, we'll be able to revolutionize teleportation. By imputing the correct coordinates from the receptors across the world, you'll be able to open a portal where ever you wish. Traveling by plane, boat or automobile will be a thing of the past!" she said cheerfully.

"Except that will make people able to steal shit. Not to mention terrorism and fuck all else." the Inventor replied.

"I've developed something to counter that as well. For one, these guns can only be used by people with a license. Not to mention, they are being designed with biometrics in mind, meaning that certain things will be unable to be taken through a portal. Only Military Personnel will be able to bring firearms through them. I drafted three models, the Civilian Model, the Government Model and finally the Military Model."

"You've...really planned this out haven't you?" she said. Celestia gave Miu a grin, placing her joined hands under her chin.

"Of course I have! I wish to travel to the moon one day, if only our school would hurry up and finish that Lunar Base." she said, looking rather annoyed.

The two continued talking, mostly about science and some of the inventions they were working on. Since Miu didn't own a car, Celestia volunteered to drive them to the store. She had to get some snacks for her and her roommate Setsuko, including some Duncan Hills Coffee, which was the Media Critic's favorite. As soon as they walked into Whole Foods, the two looked around, eyes widening when they saw the sheer amount of people milling about. Miu sighed angrily, her hands tightening around the handle of her shopping cart.

"God fucking dammit! Look at this shit, did everyone get their fucking Food Stamps today?" she shouted angrily.

"Calm down dear, this always happens the day before a holiday. Not to mention, it's technically Black Friday week. So a lot of people are preparing for the long weekend, and snacking up for the long lines they'll be waiting in." the Ultimate Physicist said, helping to keep her close friend calm.

"Whatever, let's just go get these damn things. The Sophomore Class has 4 classes right? How many turkeys do you need to feed fifteen fat fucks?" the inventor asked firmly.

"I'm...not exactly sure...let's just ask someone." Celestia said, remaining calm as she started sifting through the throngs of people. They moved past the produce section, with Miu grabbing some apples, because they help with stomach aches. Celestia didn't really pay attention, grabbing some bananas for herself, along with some Yogurt Raisins for Setsuko, apparently that was the closest thing to health food the Media Critic got to.

They finally arrived at the Meat Section of the Store, and noticed several people looking pissed. There were a few butchers walking around, head to toe in white coats, some covered in blood. Miu just stood there, laughing in amusement as some people were shouting at each other. Celestia however realized why they were and pointed to the freeze in the center of the Meat section. The section that housed the turkeys, it lay empty.

"What...what the fuck?" Miu muttered.

"Seems to me like they ran out."

"What the fuck do you mean they ran out? I gotta fucking buy a shitload of turkeys for our goddamn class. What the fuck am I supposed to tell them?" she shouted angrily.

"Calm down, we'll just go to another grocery store." Celestia said.

"You'll have better luck going to a farm girls. The other stores in Anaheim sold out of turkeys hours ago. Shit like this always happens the day before Thanksgiving. You might have to head out of town for some, if you're lucky." another customer said, brushing past them with a cart filled with frozen turkeys.

"Hey asshole, how about you spare a couple of those for us!" Miu said, causing the man to stop.

"Pfft...excuse me? I'm hosting a party in Beverly Hills. I cannot waste any more time, sorry ladies but you'll have to look elsewhere."

"Pardon me sir, but you don't seem to understand. We happen to be students of Morning Hope Academy, perhaps you'd be willing to part with some of those?" Celestia asked, batting her lashes a bit at the man.

"Oh...oh I see...you think you can use your status as an Ultimate to get what you want. You know, I am sick of you talented people looking down on us normals. We may not be talented like you, but we use our hard earned cash to buy our shit. So why don't you fuck off?!"

"Wow...dick...I bet you're only mad because you aren't getting head. Look at you, fat virgin neckbeard. How old are you? 32? I bet you feel like a goddamn failure. Your parents are mad because all you do is collect My Little Pony figures and boast about the mad parties you host. I bet you say to them that you meet people like Angelina Jolie or Nicholas Cage, when you are just buying these turkeys and doing fuck knows what with them. Lying sack of shit!" Miu cried out. The man looked away, bursting into tears as he pulled away his cart.

"Excellent work Miu...there goes our only turkey lead." Celestia said, looking disappointed at her friend.

"What? He was a fuckin loser anyway, asshole needs to wake up."

"That doesn't matter...what does matter is the fact that we are out of turkeys."

"Whatever...let's just pick up the other shit and head to Malibu. They've got to have turkeys there."

"I am not driving an hour and forty five minutes to Malibu just to get turkeys. The farthest I'll go is Santa Ana."

"Ugh...and here I wanted those hot beach guys to look at my beautiful body. I am the golden child, the beautiful lady genius, these tits need to be rubbed with tanning oil." the Inventor said, earning a sigh from Celestia.

"I am starting to understand why it was you procrastinated this much."

"I wasn't procrastinated! Sure I eat MRE's all the time, but I go to the bathroom like a normal person!"

Celestia blinked, swiftly turning around. She just held onto her green Whole Foods basket, filling it with her needs. At times, Miu was a genius, capable of inventing the impossible. Other times, she was the biggest potty mouthed idiot this side of California.

"Hey Mei, do Chinese People celebrate Thanksgiving?" Carla asked, a curious look on her face.

"No...well we sort of do. You see, China has various holidays celebrated throughout the fall. One of them happens to be rather dear to me. Usually celebrated between the months of August and September, it's known as the Moon Festival. It's a holiday where we celebrate the union of family, have a huge feast, eat moon cakes and talk about some old Chinese legends. Me and my father would spend all day preparing Moon cakes, they were always my favorite." the girl said, a fond smile on her face. She frowned, sniffling a bit as she remembered her father.

"Of course...since we live in America now, we haven't had time to celebrate those holidays. Mama is busy with her candy shop in San Francisco, and Ju is in college. Soon enough, I'll be all grown up and will have to decide what to do in life. I probably won't have much time for such frivolities."

"Dah don't say that! I thought the Chinese were supposed to be wise beyond their years! Rising Dragon, Hidden Mantis or something like that!" the brunette said, earning a giggle from the girl.

"Maybe the monks are wise, I'm just a plain girl interested in folklore. I've just been busy...I haven't had a moon cake since my father passed away. I sometimes remember how we prepared them, and always wrote little messages to each other. What I wouldn't give to try one...anyway, we should focus on Thanksgiving. We're supposed to be gathering supplies for our class party you know." Mei-Ling said, earning a nod from the Ultimate Lucky Student.

"Yeah yeah...I uh...I know! I left something in the Home Economics Room. I'll be right back, think you can handle cleaning the chalk board while I'm gone, Mei-Mei?!" she asked. Mei-Ling looked at the board, frowning a bit but she gave her a smile.

"Shi...I can handle it!"

"Good, I'll hurry back. Don't you worry your cute little head off!" she said, ruffling the girl's hair before skipping away. Mei-Ling frowned as she moved some loose strands of hair from her face. Despite her doing her best to tuck it into her bun, Carla managed to find a way to mess it up.

"At least it's warm here. Though I'm not looking forward to wearing that cheongsam again." she muttered to herself, shuttering a bit at the thought of the crimson pearl outfit her mother forced her to wear.

She grabbed a nearby step stool, pulling her red stilettos off her feet as she grabbed a rag, proceeding to wipe the chalkboard clean. As she was cleaning however, she ended up letting go of the eraser in her hand, causing her to frown. She hopped off the step ladder, looking around for the black eraser, covered in white chalk dust. She spotted it under the teacher's desk, and decided to get down on her knees to get it. At that same time, the classroom door opened. She had first thought it was Carla, having returned from the Home Economics room, but she was greeted instead with Nick and Cara, who were panting a bit. Cara looked around for a moment, before turning and locking the door, grabbing her husband. She pushed him onto the desk, rapidly unbuttoning his flannel shirt.

"Sweetheart, are you sure you don't wanna take this to the Aquarium?"

"Yes, last time you ended up letting the Penguins out of the enclosure. I am not going to risk you doing that again! Besides this room is empty, and our friends are busy with Thanksgiving Prep. They won't even notice us." she said, giving him a grin. Nick smirked as he grabbed a hold of her white lab coat, spinning her around so that she was pinned to the desk. He sat her on the desk, forcefully spreading her legs and hiking her skirt.

"Fine, but I'm not getting dominated by you. Let me just prepare your Tool of the Trade. That way, I can have a swift entree into the warm and wet abyss of pure hope." he said, giving her a firm kiss as his hand traveled up her skirt, Cara's moans filling the room.

"Holy Bruce Lee! What the shit do I do?" Mei-Ling shouted in her mind, her hands clamped over her mouth to hide her breathing. She had pressed herself against the back of the desk, just behind the built in drawers that usually hid a trash can. She was glad to be small now, because people wouldn't be able to see her so easily.

"Oh seal biscuits! That feels so good!"

"Maybe I should stick my girth in your blow hole for a while? We have to make sure it's really slick." Nick said, his voice sounding husky as he unzipped his pants. Mei-Ling started to shake, digging her hand inside her pocket for her phone. She quietly turned the volume down, and opened up a message to Jon, Carla, Veruca, Anaji and Calem, a single word written on it.

"Are you sure I can do this man?" Kaikane asked, earning a confident look from both Kaito and Rantaro. The green haired adventurer gave him a pat on the shoulder.

"Listen, all you have to do is lay it on nice and simple. Be sweet, smile and just act natural. Women love confidence, but try not to be too arrogant...and unbutton your shirt a bit. Seriously, you are a Hawaiian beach god, show off a bit of skin." he said, helping Kai unbutton part of his shirt.

"Trust me dude, when I asked Maki-Roll out, she was flushing and everything. She wasn't expecting it, so I just laid it on smooth. I, Kaito Momota Luminary of the Stars, want you as my woman. And she accepted!" Kaito said happily, only to feel the barrel of a gun under his chin. He stiffened a bit, his Adam's apple moving up and sown as he swallowed hard.

"If you keep lying to your friends, I will kill you." the brunette assassin said, cold as ice. Her face was dark, crimson eyes glowing as she made the man shiver.

"Okay okay...I'm sorry...I actually begged her to go out with me. She turned me down fifteen times before she relented and said maybe." Kaito said.

"Kaito Momota, the Ultimate Pussy." Rantaro said, shaking his head in disappointment. Satisfied, Maki put her gun on safe, hiding it under her skirt, which was thankfully long enough to conceal her thigh holster.

"That doesn't exactly help my situation. Seriously, the only female interaction I've had for 17 years is with my sister. She's so overbearing that she scares away all potential mates. I don't know how to flirt with a girl!" Kaikane said, already freaking out. Maki turned to him, frowning a bit.

"Just be yourself. A woman likes a confident man, like this idiot said before. Just try not to sound like an overbearing douche bag, don't just use the Chad card because you think you are hot. Don't puss out and don't get on your knees and beg. If I see you do any thing like this, your ass will be my target for the next hour."

"Duly noted." the boy said, steeling his nerves. He took a confident step forward, that turned into two, the four, than six. Soon enough, he was standing right in front of the table, which was currently housing one of the foreign exchange students from Japan's Class 78, Juniors in his school.

"Hello there, is something the matter?" Junko asked, as she gave the boy in front of her a bright smile. He gave her a small smile, his eyes focusing on her chest. He swallowed hard.

"Um...I'd like to...I uh..."

"Oh Jesus, I'm so nervous." he thought, mentally panicking. Junko just gave him a smile, twirling a bit of hair around her finger tip.

"Just relax, I don't bite."

"Okay...it's just that...you're...well you. I was wondering...if I could...you know...show you around town?"

"Show me around town? But I've already been here before. I had a fashion shoot in Los Angeles not that long ago...ah wait, you wanna go out don't you?" Junko asked, giving the boy a grin.

"I...yes?"

"Hehe...why didn't you say so? I'd love for you to take me out. I doubt my boyfriend will mind."

"Huh?" Kaikane asked, his nervousness melting into confusion as she grabbed her phone, standing up from his seat.

"You didn't know? I have a boyfriend and a daughter. But that's something I like keeping to myself. He's in Class 78B as well, along with his twin sister Kyoko. Both of them are at Disney right now, let me just ask him." she said, holding her phone to her ear.

"No wait...I can't take you out...I didn't even know you had a daughter. Jesus, just...never mind." Kaikane said, turning around and leaving. Junko watched him go, saying a few things to his friends before all four of them left the cafeteria. Junko let out a dark chuckle, rubbing her hands together.

"Ah...ruining a man's chances at love, how despairingly evil."

"You are such a cunt you know that?" Chloe said, leaning back against the post next to them, holding a bottle of Gatorade in her hands.

"But I'm not lying. I have a daughter, it's just that me and her father aren't exactly on dating terms. He's engaged with the Ultimate Pop Sensation now...maybe hiding my pregnancy from him wasn't such a good idea." she said absentmindedly.

"Ugh...so this is the true face of Junko Enoshima?"

"Not really...trust me girl, I had this massive grand scheme and everything. I was going to destroy the world, and paint it in beautiful despair...until I realized how boring that would be after a year. No one would make chips and Redbull anymore. So I'll just ruin lives in secret for now. Upupupupu!" she said, walking off with a grin on her face.

"That bitch is insane...someone should commit her somewhere." Chloe muttered, taking a sip from her Gatorade. She spat it out, looking at the label.

"Fuckin expired, you bastards really need to check your shit. Only the finest Gatorade shall be provided to the Ultimate Queen Bee! You four, go get me some fuckin tea right now! Where he hell are my fanners?" the blonde cried out, causing four Freshmen to scurry away. She sat down at the table top, crossing her legs as a few girls brought her some fashion magazines, and another woman brought a large paper fan.

"Ah...long live the Queen."

"How is it possible that none of these shitholes have turkeys?" Miu shouted, slamming her fist into the dashboard before her. Celestia frowned, glaring at the girl.

"Please, refrain from damaging my automobile. It was quite expensive and I would like for it to covered by its warranty."

"Whatever...what am I gonna do? I gotta buy one turkey for every four people. There are sixteen students in each class, that's like...64 turkeys!" she cried.

"Perhaps you should clean your desk more often. Stuff like this wouldn't happen, you were given two weeks. Miu seriously...what exactly are you doing in your room?" the physicist asked, glancing at her friend for a brief moment.

"Uh...that's my business." the Inventor replied. Celestia frowned, but said nothing as she turned her car on. She shifted into Reverse, pulling out of the parking spot before heading out of the store.

"You think Wal-Mart has turkeys?" Celestia asked, keeping her eyes on the road.

"I am not going to Wal-Mart. That is the shittiest company in the world, not to mention they treat their employees like used tampons. I could live comfortably in our shitty planet without those fucks existing. Right now, I don't know who's worse, Facebook or Wal-Mart. If I could find out where Zuckerburg lives, I'd rip out his tongue and lick my ass with it."

"Oh...why? That sounds unpleasant for both of you." the Physicist said, cringing a bit at her friend. Miu growled under her breath, crossing her arms as she leaned back into her seat. She grabbed a hold of the switch at the side of the seat, tipping it back a bit.

"Hey Esti...I have a question, and I hope you don't get offended."

"I won't, depending on what it is." she replied. The light turned green, and the vehicle lurched forward.

"Okay, what's your deal? Why did you decide to become a chick?"

"Ah...you wish to know the reason for my transition? The answer is simple...my father had unrealistic expectations of me. He thought that because I was born a man, that I would want to do things men do. I'm not like other men...I never was. I prioritized Physics and Science over Farming and Agriculture. Simply put, the man he wanted me to become was something I could never be." she replied firmly.

"Hmm...when did you realize you wanted to be a girl?"

"Oh that was easy...when I was 9, my sister Kayla and her friend Linnie were trying on clothes. I jokingly asked to try some on and Linnie left for an hour. Came back with an adorable selection, everything I could think of. It didn't take long for her to turn me into a little doll, and I had to admit...I looked rather beautiful. I had an epiphany that day...I never felt that I was a man. I was always soft spoken, shy and more into academics. I had a rather androgynous appearance already so...I decided to just...be a girl."

"I get it...it was also to avoid bullies and shit right? So you didn't get socked in the face?" Miu asked. Celestia gave her a small nod.

"That was a small reason...I just wanted to know what was out there. I wished to know what the boundless limits of science could provide me. I wanted to find my own answers, why are we here? Where are we going? What are we capable of? Humanity hasn't existed for long on this planet, yet we have come far. I want to use my abilities to further inspire people, so they can open their minds to science, to let scientific thought grow." she said, a smile on her face. Miu smiled as well, bringing her legs up onto the dash, crossing them as she leaned back.

"I gotta agree with ya girl. I still can't believe you are the youngest doctor in the world, not to mention the first transsexual physicist as well. You've done so much to open everyone to science, and you advocate for human rights, for people like yourself. I may be an inventor, and I may not have a lot of heroes, but seriously Celestia...you're one of my inspirations."

"I am?" the brunette asked, taking her eyes away from the road. Miu pointed ahead, causing her to slam her foot on the pedal. Thankfully, there was no car in front of her, but that earned her several loud honks from the family behind them.

"As I was saying, you are my inspiration. With our power combined, I'm sure we can do great things in this world. So I'm honored to be your friend."

"I...thank you...Miu. I'm happy that you accept me the way I am, it isn't hard coming out like that you know. My classmates were rather shocked when I told them. I was expecting them all to hate me, but they all embraced it with open arms. As Chris so eloquently put, "You have a cock, so what? That doesn't make you any less woman than a real one." I...honestly don't know if I should be glad or offended."

"Coming from him, that's the closest thing to a compliment you'll get. Say...you got an eye on anyone in school? Any cute guys or girls?" Miu asked, causing her to giggle.

"My apologies, but I don't have the time for a relationship at the moment. I'm on the verge of a scientific discovery, if I can stabilize the compound I am working on, I can finally create a working teleportation gun. I'm just...far too busy, besides, not a lot of people would want to date someone like me."

"Are you kidding? Look at you! You are drop dead gorgeous! This girl genius would definitely love to have you by her arm."

"Sorry Miu, I doubt even I could accept you're crass language all the time." Celestia said, rolling her eyes. The car behind them sped around them, the passenger rolled their window, revealing a young woman, in her late 20s, looking rather angry.

"Where the fuck did you learn to drive shit head?" the driver shouted, earning a smirk from Miu.

"Yo momma's house! Why don't you kiss my ass fuck face? You and your uggo wifey should die in a fire!"

"Go fuck yourself cunt! You and your Emo girlfriend should slit your wrists, kill yourselves!" the woman said, flipping them the bird. Celestia growled angrily, her grip on the wheel tightening.

"Miu, open the glove compartment, put on the gas mask and the goggles would you?"

"Huh? Okay." she said, opening the glove box. She pulled out two gas masks, as well as a pair of goggles.

They quickly donned them, as Celestia put the car on Cruise Control. She opened her bag, pulling out three test tubes filled with green liquid. She pulled out a beaker, uncorking the three liquids, pouring them into the beaker, swishing them around. She reached into her purse for a small pink ball, which she dropped into the beaker, causing it to start smoking. As she did, she grabbed what looked to be a latex condom from within her purse, putting it over the lip of the beaker. Miu just watched in awe, looking back at the road, all of the lights thankfully being green. Celestia poured the liquid she had created into the condom, watching it inflate a bit as she tied it off. She hit the Cruise Control button and sped up, catching up to the Escalade that had passed them earlier.

"Uh...what are you doing?"

"Science has many benefits, one of those is using chemistry to create a brand new compound. By mixing various chemicals with some natural extracts, you can create the perfect stink bomb. I like to call this...Liquid Ass." she said, giving her friend a wink. She pulled up beside the Escalade, the woman from before giving them an odd look.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Have you lost your minds?" she cried. Celestia just smirked, though it was hidden under her mask. She gently tossed the liquid filled condom at their car. As soon as it hit the door it exploded, a lime green yellow cloud erupting from it as the liquid smeared all over the car. She sped up a bit, waiting for the fruits of her labor. The woman and the driver both started vomiting, their screams dying down as she quickly sped off into another street.

"Dude...holy shit." Miu muttered, glancing over her shoulder, looking at the cloud that had formed in the air.

"I'd keep that mask if I we're you...it'll take a bit for the smell to leave the car." Celestia warned. Miu quirked a brow, pulling the mask off, taking a whiff of the air, only to gag violently.

"Oh my fucking god...Holy Mary, Mother of Shit!"

"Told you."

"So wait...Shepherds Pie has nothing to do with Sheep? Or Pies?" Alice asked, a confused look on her face.

"That's right. Trust me, I was confused when I was told the truth, it's also known as Chinese Pie, but it has nothing Chinese in it." Jonathan replied. He grabbed a hold of one of the cookie sheets, placing them in the oven. At the same time, he grabbed the batch that was done, pulling them out.

"You American's are weird." Veruca said, looking up from the pie she was finishing. She had been lining up all of the pecans so it looked visually pleasing. She had three baking at the moment, and three that were about to go in once the others were done. Alice pulled out three more tofuckens, a small smile on her face.

"Well...at least I'm aware now. Cute little sheep don't get sacrificed in order to make that pie."

"Yup...well it does have ground beef." the Songwriter said, causing the Veterinarian to frown.

"You ever wonder how chicken nuggets are made? One of my mates told me they would raise baby chicks out of eggs. They would get twenty or so and dump them into a grinder, feathers and all. Then that mushy paste would be formed into nuggets, breaded and then taken to McDonalds."

"Can we please not talk about that? I don't want to imagine cute baby chicks being ground into chicken nuggets!"

"Whoa...sorry Buns, didn't mean to upset you." Jonathan said, a sheepish look on his face. She sighed, shaking her head.

"It's fine...it's just...after everything that happened, I really learned to appreciate all forms of life. I don't agree with how animals are treated, but at least I can take good care of them and make sure they're nursed back to health!" she said cheerfully.

"As well you should, animals need a voice. You can be that voice for them, especially because they all seem to adore you." Veruca said, a smile on her face as she finished the last pie. Hazelnut scurried over to Alice, jumping onto her shoulder, nuzzling her cheek.

"Ah...Hazelnut don't do that! I almost dropped my tofucken!" she cried out, earning a chuckle from Jon, who had finished transferring the cookies to a cooling rack. He grabbed a hold of one, blowing on it before taking a bite.

"Ah...nothing beats Veruca's peanut butter cookies. These are honestly the best!"

"Jon, for fuck sakes! Are you gonna eat a cookie every time a batch comes out? Don't make me sow your damn mouth shut!" the Nut Princess cried, glaring at the boy who swallowed hard.

"Hey...someone has to make sure they're not burned right?"

"But she has a timer...besides when it comes to anything made with nuts, Veruca is the best. She isn't the Ultimate Nut Specialist for nothing."

"Alice! You're supposed to be defending me, I'm the one giving you half!" he hissed, earning a cheeky grin from the girl.

"Apologies friend, but Veruca paid me two to side with her." she said. Jon slowly turned to face his girlfriend, glaring at her.

"You got my friend to betray me?"

"The dark side has cookies dear, apologies. I will let you finish that one, however if you eat another, then you won't get to join us for tea time. I know you simply adore my scones."

"Ugh...fine." the boy said softly. He took a small bite from his cookie, making sure to savor its peanut buttery goodness.

"Hey guys! I have a huge favor to ask you!" Carla cried, racing into the Home Economics Room, almost stumbling over a cart loaded with finished pies. Veruca grabbed a wooden spoon, pointing at the girl with a glare on her face.

"If you dare come storming in here and ruin my pies, so help me I will shatter your knee caps with this spoon. Believe me, they will break faster than walnuts do under pressure."

"Pfft...you'll have to catch me first honey...anyway, I need your help. Do any of you know how to make Moon Cakes?"

"The bloody hell is a moon cake?" Jonathan asked, in a perfect English accent. His eyes widened, hands covering his mouth. Alice let out a small laugh, clutching her sides as she looked at the boy.

"Ah...hanging out with us is starting to give you an accent!"

"Shut up! It's contagious, sue me!" he cried, a look of embarrassment on his face. He sighed, shaking his head as he glanced back at the Lucky Student.

"Anyway, why do you need to know what a Moon cake is?"

"Well...it's for Mei-Ling, I think she's feeling a bit home sick. I asked her what China does for Thanksgiving and she was talking about the Moon Festival." Carla replied. Alice set down her tray, reaching into her pocket for her cellphone. She hummed as she did a quick search, holding the device to her friend.

"Here it is, Moon Cakes are usually made during the Mid-Autumn Festival. They are made to honor the moon, and usually eaten at moon watching gatherings. Some people even write little messages and place them into the cake, to give them to their loved ones." she replied.

"Aside from that, it says that Moon Cakes were used to overthrow the Mongolian Empire. The revolutionaries told the people that there was a disease going around that could only be cured by eating moon cakes. Inside, they hid a message with the date of the revolt. They planned in secret and were able to overthrow the Mongolians." Jonathan said, looking away from Veruca's tablet.

"That's pretty sick, but it also looks like a rather intricate treat to make."

"I know...but think about it babe, it's for our friend. I can tell she's been a bit off lately, I think making this for her will make her smile. Not to mention it might get her to open up a bit more. She doesn't talk about her life in China a lot, but she's always talking about her father. She deserves this." the Songwriter said. She sighed, giving him a nod.

"Well...I am finished with these pies. Alright, we'll need some ingredients. Carla, Alice do you think you could head to Los Angeles and get the ingredients? Me and Jon will finish up here and search for a recipe."

"Um...of course. I suppose I can take a break from making these, I believe I've got plenty for now. Perhaps you can speak with the Ultimate Chocolatier? She owns the biggest chocolate factory in the United States, I'm certain she knows how to make something like this." the Ultimate Veterinarian suggested.

"Hmm...you are right, Jonathan dear let's hurry up here. We have a need to visit Class 24-B."

"Ugh...I'm not your slave." the boy said, already carrying several pans and cookie sheets in his arms. Veruca smiled, standing on her tip-toes and pecking his lips. He smiled a bit, feeling a bit more energized now, Alice and Carla rolled their eyes, taking their leave.

"Esti, let's just give up. We've been all over the place, and I don't want to keep wasting your gas." Miu said, looking defeated as they sat at another red light. They were on their way back from Santa Ana, having not found any turkeys for sale anywhere.

"Now now, the Miu Iruma I know wouldn't give into adversity. We need to figure out a way to provide our friends with what we need."

"Hmm...how about we go to a farm and buy a single turkey. I have some cloning tech in the Science Lab that will help us." the Inventor said.

"I am not feeding my friends cloned turkey meat. What is wrong with you?"

"You wanted me to find a solution right? You always find a solution with science, so I figured science would help me!"

"Not in this particular instance. I'm trying not to consume genetically modified foods. Messing with that type of technology is like playing God. But you have the right idea with the farm...I know just the place." Celestia said, taking a right.

Miu remained silent as the Physicist continued driving, away from the open streets. It didn't take long for her to realize she was taking them to what looked like a small farm area. She didn't think any farmland existed in Southern California, but she was pleasantly surprised. She pulled into the lot, turning the engine off. Celestia got out of the car, panting a bit due to the heat.

"Sometimes, wearing all black is a curse more than a blessing."

"You're make up isn't gonna smear or anything right?"

"No...I make my own make up, it's all made specifically for various situations, heat being one of them. Being a scientist has its perks I suppose. Come along, we may find something we can use here." she said, leading the Inventor toward what looked like a shop. The two of them stepped in, just in time to hear the loud cry of a Goose, followed by something hard slamming on a cutting board. The two of them cringed, having heard loud flapping as well.

"Welcome ladies, it's a little odd seeing someone so young come here. How may I help you?" a large man said, looking up from a clipboard. The two girls looked around, seeing various cuts of cured meat hanging from hooks behind the counter. There was a glass showcase, showing off some cooked hams on sale as well as some sausage links.

"Good afternoon sir, my name is Celestia Ludenberg, and this is my friend Miu Iruma. We are a bit pressed for time, I have a need to find some turkeys, would you happen to have any left in stock?"

"Turkeys huh? I'm afraid I'm sold out of all of them." the man said.

"Dammit, even here? We've looked all over the place, even Wal-Mart, there is no way this entire place has no turkeys!"

"Yes I understand Miss. You see, there's a new kind of health nut appearing lately. They're called Turkeytarians, they seem to purchase anything and everything made out of turkeys. They stock it for the entire year, and this year we were cleaned out, but a pair that came all the way from Portland, Oregon." the man said firmly.

"Are you...are you serious?" Celestia asked.

"Fraid so little lady...however, you are in luck. We happen to have some turkeys that are very fresh, if you'd like to see them?"

"Sure, we'll take a look." Miu said. The man walked around the counter, leading the two young women out of the store toward the barn. Both of them were a bit weirded out that this man was taking them into the barn. Miu was about to reach for her tazer when he opened the door, showing them a rather large pen, housing 100 living turkeys, all of them pecking at the ground or walking around.

"Well...here we are."

"Uh...when you said fresh, I didn't think you meant...alive." Celestia said.

"Who fuckin' cares? There are plenty of turkeys here for all those fucking shit heads back at school. How much are you selling them for?" Miu asked curiously.

"Well...each turkey is about 40 dollars, and since it's literally the last day before Thanksgiving...you know what, you two seem like lovely ladies. You can have them for 20 bucks each. How many do you need?"

"64, here...this card has 4,000 Dollars on it, you can have it all."

"Miu!" Celestia said, watching her friend hand the man the card.

"Sold! Do you need a trailer?" he asked, a grin on his face.

"We'll be fine...come on Celestia, time to stuff these turkeys into the car."

"I am not putting these animals in my car. Can't we have them prepared here?" the Physicist asked.

"Sorry Miss, but I'm busy with orders. Preparing 64 turkeys would take me all night, and I was literally about to close up shop. You'll have to take care of it yourselves." he said. Celestia sighed, reaching into her purse for her phone. She noticed a blinking message from Mei-Ling on the home screen, but swiped it away in order to reach her contacts.

"Kayla is gonna be so pissed at me." she mumbled, as she held the phone to her ear.

After an hour of hiding under a desk, Mei-Ling had somehow managed to sneak out without Cara and Nick noticing. She would never be able to look at various things the same way again. She was sitting at the base of the tree in the First Floor Plaza, taking shaky breaths as she sipped her tea. Her hands were shaking, as she tried to sip her tea. The Ultimate Horror Concept Artist noticed this and sat down on the bench beside her, giving her a look of concern. She didn't even move, she just sat there, shaking like a newborn puppy.

"Might I ask what is troubling you?"

"I'm...I'm shook." she said softly.

"You're shook?" Anaji asked, earning a nod from the girl. She took a deep breath, setting her cup down.

"Do you ever...you know want to do some chores? Like...you find yourself cleaning a room or something. Then you end up dropping the rag, looking for it, only for two people you are friends with to...copulate on the desk you are hiding under?"

"Mei-Ling, what are you talking about?" the young man asked, confused at what she was getting at.

"Nǐ bù zhīdào wǒ tīngdào de shìqíng!" (You don't know the things I've heard)she shouted, jumping to her feet. Anaji just stood there, fearfully confused as the small girl fumed, cheeks tinged red.

"Mei-Ling, calm down...what exactly happened? I got your message earlier asking for help. I thought you were on clean up duty with Carla...me and Calem have been looking all over the place for you."

"I...I heard...I heard Cara and Nick..."

"You heard Cara and Nick do what?"

"S-seal biscuits."

"Uh...what's wrong with Mushu?" Chris asked, as he approached the pair, followed by Tsubaki and Setsuko. The three had run into each other in the cafeteria and were heading back to the A/V Room to help Lucy with the editing of Alice's video.

"I'm not exactly sure...apparently it involves Nick and Cara, and Seal biscuits." Anaji said. Tsubaki gasped in shock, quickly wrapping her arms around the girl.

"Oh you poor thing...I'm so sorry you had to witness that."

"What?" the Lepidopterologist said, brows furrowed in confusion.

"It's something you don't want to know about. Trust me Chris, you are better off not knowing. I don't think I could look at Seals the same way again, not that I could before. I would avoid that classroom like the plague, disinfect everything. We're going to take care of you Mei, come along. You need something stronger than that tea, some coffee will do you good." Setsuko said, handing the small girl her thermos. The three girls walked off, leaving two confused men behind.

"Am I the only sane one in this world of Psycho-Pop Fuck Ups?" Chris shouted, his voice echoing through the empty halls.

"You know...I think you would have more friends if you didn't say stuff like that." Anaji said, having returned to his drawings.

"It's true and you know it...so what are you working on?"

"I'm not supposed to talk about it but...have you played the P.T. For Silent Hills?" He asked.

"Hell yeah man, Norman Reedus as the protag was fucking shocking as shit. I thought it was canceled?"

"It was, except someone ended up buying the rights to Silent Hill's entire franchise from Konami. So now it's happening. Hideo Kojima contacted me personally to do some concept art. It's coming along fine, so I'll show you some later."

"Sick, I'd love to see your rendition of Pyramid Head. Oh right, I have some Painted Ladies that are about to hatch, maybe you'd wanna help me set them free?" the boy asked.

"Butterflies aren't my thing, but you did give me some pointers on finding a good drawing tablet. So sure, I'll help you." Anaji said happily, earning a thumbs up from the Lepidopterologist. Anaji was going to say something when a scream filled the hall.

From out of the Entrance Hall, several live turkeys came, running into the school, all of them going in different directions. Running after the small flock, was Celestia and Miu, both looking tired.

"Goddamn it! Get back here you fucking shits! We gotta cut your heads off for tomorrow!"

"Miu, you take the right, I'll take the left. We'll try to coral them in the gym, okay?" Celestia called out, earning a nod from the Inventor. The two girls split up, chasing after the turkeys that were running all over the first floor.

"You wanna go take care of those butterflies now?" Anaji asked.

"Yes, come on." Chris said, ushering the Horror Artist toward the cafeteria.

"Hey Ruru, I have a question for you...an honest question." Jonathan said, as he finished placing the last Pecan Pie on the food kart. Kirumi was coming by for it soon and they needed to get everything neatly on it before she did.

"Of course, whatever you wish to ask of me, go for it." she replied, smiling happily as she placed the final pie down on the cart. Hazelnut was sleeping at the window sill, surrounded by a few peanut shells. She grabbed a hold of them, keen on taking them to the Botanic Garden and toss them in the composter. Jonathan looked at the floor nervously.

"Um...we've been together for over a year now and...I just wanna know, why did you ask me out?" he asked. Veruca turned to face him, brow quirked in curiosity.

"You wish to know why I picked you out of everyone else?"

"That's right."

"That's simple really...you stood out to me."

"I stood out to you? My monochrome style stood out to the second richest girl in school?" he asked, disbelief written on his face.

"No...it wasn't your style, and it wasn't your music. It was...honestly it was your seclusion. I had heard a few things about you from the Student Council Members. Quite talented with music, and very vocal and despite that, a total social recluse. To the point where you would take your lunch to the stairwell and eat there because it was quieter. When you were told not to do that, you would sneak into the Music Hall because it was empty."

"Oh...that's so embarrassing. I didn't think people paid that much attention to me. Honestly, there are times I wonder why I'm even in this school. My songs aren't exactly revolutionary, not to mention after they leave my hands, they're subjected to changes. They're so bastardized that they don't even retain a fraction of my own love. That's why I'm fond of Indie Rock Bands, because they use real lyrics and not the garbage ones pop music uses." he replied. Veruca nodded, leaning back against the sink, crossing her arms.

"It matters not why you are here...I'm just happy that you are. I've told you the story of my best friend right? James? I don't know why it is...but I saw a lot of him in you. Everyone deserves a friend, despite you being surrounded by good people, not a lot of them managed to become friends. Miss Caroll definitely outdid herself, planning things out like that, making Mei-Ling the class rep...if it wasn't for them, I doubt we would be as tight nit as we are."

"Hmm...so, you started off wanting to befriend me then just...started liking me?" he asked curiously.

"I suppose...but it was also that song I heard you singing. You have a beautiful voice, yet you don't share it with anyone...why is that?"

"It's because...god, it's because my entire childhood was just that. From the moment my mom put me in that choir, all I did was sing. I loved it at first, but there were other things I wanted to do. It was such a choking feeling, always singing the same boring songs. Every week it was the same mindless chatter, the same hymns. I have nothing against religion, but I grew sick of it. Then it became worse when I...found out about...you know." he said, growing a bit sad. Veruca reached for him, placing a hand on his cheek, giving him a smile.

"It's alright, that doesn't change a single thing about us. I'm in love with you silly. But...there was one thing I wanted to know from you." she said. She knelt down, reaching into her boot for a folded piece of paper. She unfolded it, showing it to him.

"Are these lyrics real?" she asked. He looked them over, his hand shaking a bit.

"Oh...these...yeah, they are." he said softly. Veruca wrapped her arms around him, giving him a tight hug. He stood stock still for a moment, before hugging her as well.

"You don't have any thoughts like that right?" she asked.

"Sometimes...I don't know how to function most days. It used to be more prominent before but...now I have my own outlets. I have you too...I don't know what I would do without you. There are times I wake up at night with that choking feeling, like I just wanna end it all. But then I see you there, and I remember what I would lose. I love you Ruru...truly."

"I love you too dingus. I only ask this because you've been acting rather odd lately. You know you can always talk to me about these things." she said. He nodded, placing a delicate kiss on her lips.

"Hey you two! Stop snoggin, we got the tins!" Alice cried, causing the two to separate as she and Carla walked into the room, carrying various bags with Chinese characters on them.

"Excellent! We found a recipe online that we can use, you did get everything on that list right?"

"Yup yup! I got everything, from the lotus seeds to the bean paste!" Carla cried out, holding the bags out for the Nut Princess, who looked at everything to make sure it was all there.

"Alright, let's begin then! I spoke with Angie earlier and managed to get some small pieces of paper. She's gonna pass them out and ask them to write messages. She'll be by later with them, in the mean time let's all start making these cakes. I'm sure Mei-Ling is going to enjoy these!" Jonathan said, looking up beat. The door suddenly opened, several gobbling turkeys being pushed through the doors. Miu walked in after them, looking rather pissed off. She grabbed one of the birds from the floor, walking over to the counter top. She reached for a Cleaver, laying the avian down on the counter top.

"This is for pecking me earlier motherfucker!" she shouted, bringing the cleaver down, severing the turkey's head, pink blood erupted from the neck, bathing the counter and floor with copious amounts of blood. Alice let out a scream, passing out shortly after, though thankfully Jon managed to catch her before she hit the floor.

"Miu what the fuck?! You can't fucking do that here you twit!"

"Oh shut your whore mouth Princess. You do not know the fucking shit I have gone through today. Do you know what it's like to drive around in the blistering heat, trying to find 64 goddamned turkeys? It's horrible. Not to mention these fucks are still running all over the goddamn place, Celestia's pecker was pecked to high hell by the biggest turkey of them all, and her sister Kayla is pissed because her truck is full of shit! Not only do I have to decapitate, gut and pull the feathers off these bastards, but I gotta cook them and get them ready for tomorrow. So don't stand there and tell me what the fuck is wrong with me!" she shouted. She grabbed a second turkey, bringing the cleaver down on the head. It started wriggling around, though Miu didn't notice it. The head fell into her pocket, as she grabbed a hold of another turkey, slicing its head off. Carla clutched her head, grabbing onto Veruca's arm.

"I'm feeling a little faint."

"I'm gonna bring Buns to the Nurse's Office. You deal with this, we gotta make those cakes without Mei-Ling finding out. And for fuck sakes Miu, stop cutting their heads off here!" Jon cried, lifting the Veterinarian up in a princess carry. She stirred a bit, her eyes opening.

"Wha...what happened? I saw Miu killing a turkey, that was a dream right?"

"Fraid it wasn't sweet cheeks." Miu cried, a loud shing filled the air as she brought the knife down on another turkey. This time, the blood splattered on both Jon and Alice's faces, dotting them in pink. Alice screamed, jumping out of Jon's arms, rapidly leaving the Home Economics Room.

"You stupid cunt! Alice is afraid of blood, what the fucking shit is wrong with you?" Jonathan shouted in anger.

"C-cunt? I'm not a cunt!" Miu said, instantly melting under his glare. Jonathan glared angrily, a million things swimming in his head. Instead he just turned around, keen on finding Alice before she had a panic attack.

"Alice, are you alright? Tell me what happened!" Anastasia cried, having found the Veterinarian locked inside one of the bathroom stalls.

"It's nothing...Miu was just...preparing some turkeys."

"But you're covered in blood!"

"They were alive." she said simply. She sniffled a bit, still shaking as she flushed the toilet. She had been emptying her stomach of its contents, thankfully feeling a little better. She opened the stall and walked out, heading toward the sink. She wiped away the blood with some water, frowning as she would have to redo her make up.

"Eta chertova zadnitsa! YA sobirayus' vyrezat' yey novuyu!" (That fucking ass, I'm gonna cut her a new one) Anastasia mumbled in Russian, leaning back against the wall as Alice finished washing her face.

"It's okay Tania, I'm perfectly fine. I'm mostly over my hemophobia."

"Then it was the violent decapitation of the turkeys that got to you?" the Ultimate Mercenary asked.

"Y-yeah...you know how much I love animals. I just don't like seeing that kind of stuff...it wasn't Miu's fault. She probably didn't know I was in there."

"It doesn't matter...she should at least look around before giving you PTSD flashbacks."

"Alice, are you in here?" Jon cried out, entering the Ladies Room, accompanied by Veruca. Normally, the girls would send him out, but this time Anastasia decided to let him enter.

"I'm alright Jon...really." the girl said, grabbing some napkins to wipe her face. She turned around, seeing the pink on his jacket, and instantly backed away. The boy looked down, sighing as he unzipped the garment, stuffing it in his backpack.

"Sorry...I should have taken that off."

"It's fine."

"I honestly believe Miu has issues. Who the bloody hell comes into a classroom, with the intent to decapitate turkeys? Could she not have bought them ahead of time?" Veruca asked.

"This is Miu we're talking about. She's a lazy piece of shit, I doubt she even remembered the turkeys until just today. Suffice it to say, the Home Economics Room isn't the best place to be right now. Kirumi took out everything we prepared, we're gonna make the Moon Cakes in the Cafeteria now."

"Da, a good idea...say, have any of you seen Mei-Ling? She's been acting a little strange today." Anastasia said.

"Strange? Oh my...has the homesickness gotten this bad?" Veruca queried, a frown on her face. Alice glanced back at the mirror, focusing on reapplying the blush to her cheeks.

"I know exactly how she feels. There are times I just want to return to London, but at least I have my friends with me. Not to mention Chris as well, he's been very sweet lately. He even raised some Sapphire Swallowtails for me."

"Aw...that is so cute. Why don't you raise butterflies for me Jon?" Veruca cried, earning a confused look from the boy.

"The fuck? I'm a Songwriter not a Lepidopterologist." he replied.

"I'm glad that you are feeling welcome here Alice. Even Captain Ikusaba seems content that you are doing better after what happened." Anastasia said, earning a smile from the petite blonde.

"As am I...I wasn't expecting her or Class 78B to come here as exchange students though."

"Same here, Class 77B is here as well...makes me wonder if Hope's Peak Academy sent them here for something." Jonathan said.

"No...I believe they sent them here for plot convenience. I mean this is all an alternate universe where no one dies. It's much easier to group us all together to display a more accurate day to day life. Not to mention much easier for us to showcase our shenanigans." Veruca said.

"Nani? Omae wa shindeiru!" Alice cried out.

"For fuck sakes, it's Sore wa Chigau Yo! Jeez, this is why none of you can be protagonists!" Jonathan cried out. The three girls just looked at him oddly, shaking it off.

"Let's just head to the bloody kitchen, before we all say something that causes our dimension to flatten like a pancake." Veruca said, pushing Alice and Jon out of the bathroom. Anastasia rubbed her eyes, glancing at the bottle in her hands.

"Maybe I shouldn't have taken three hits of acid before coming in here. When I find Hiro, I'm going to cut his balls off." she mumbled, tossing the bottle into the trash. Once Anastasia had left, the handicapped stall opened, and another student walked out, a smirk on her face.

"I see...these fools weren't even aware of what was happening. I can successfully calculate that this is in fact an alternate universe. However it seems reality in this universe is a lot different than it would have been in another reality. Alas my own calculations have deterred me from my own purpose. Boredom certainly is quite the stimulant." Junko said, glancing at her reflection. Her hair was tied into a single ponytail with a red and white bow, and she was holding a clipboard in her hands. She glanced at the trash can, pulling out the bottle.

"Ah...a bottle of liquid ketamine. A very powerful hallucinogenic drug, normally used in the sedation of large animals, typically equines. Yes...it seems someone was careless enough to leave something this useful behind. I calculate there are at least 25 doses left in this bottle...I believe it is time to give the title of Ultimate Chemist a try." she said, as she looked the bottle over. She grinned, shaking her hair free of its ponytail.

"It's gonna be so much fun! No one is going to be able to resist seeing those pretty colors!" Cute Junko said, a grin on her face.

"Uh...sister, are you...talking to yourself again?"

"Ugh...shut the fuck up Mukuro. Where the fuck we're you? You insolent twerp!" she shouted, causing her sister to sigh.

"I was helping Makoto out with something."

"I don't give a shit. Here, you are going to help me spike the food with this." she said, shoving the bottle in Mukuro's hands. She looked it over, seeing the bright red K written on it.

"Ketamine? You want to put horse tranquilizers in the food? Why?"

"Entropy! This school shall be filled with nothing but hallucinogenic despair! Everyone will be seeing funny colors for the next few hours! It's going to be delicious!" she said happily. Mukuro however wasn't having it. She pulled the cork from the bottle and poured it out into the sink, causing Junko to scream.

"I'm not letting you do what you want Junko."

"AH...why...why must you cause me so much despair?"

"I...seriously think you should go to a shrink. I worry about you sister." Mukuro said, giving her twin a hug. Junko reached behind her back, drawing an ice pick she had stashed, prepared to drive it into Mukuro's neck, only for the Ultimate Soldier to flip her over, tossing her to the ground.

"Nice try, but it will take more than that to kill me."

"Oh...ah...it feels so good, keep grinding your heel into my back sis. It's seriously turning me on!" Junko said, a perverted look on her face as she rubbed her face on the floor. Mukuro said nothing, deciding instead to leave her sister to her own devices, though sometimes that was also a huge mistake.

Harold J. Winters was a rather tall man, with silvery black hair, and fair colored skin. He was wearing a pressed pea green suit, with a light colored undershirt and black tie. He wore a matching pair of slacks, and polished oxford shoes. He had bright green eyes, and a soft complexion, though his face was usually kept stern. Standing next to him was Lee R Emerson, the Ultimate Drill Sargent, holding the American Flag, while Victoria Louis stood to his left, holding the flag of Morning Hope Academy.

The man tapped the microphone before him. The Theater had been filled with the Freshmen, Sophomore and Junior Classes. The Seniors had to remain in their room, as there were no seats for all of the students. Something that the school was accommodating by building a larger auditorium, separated from the school building. He cleared his throat, a smile on his face.

"Students and Staff of Morning Hope Academy, and our guests from Hope's Peak Academy. I would like to welcome you to our Thanksgiving Day Celebration! As you all know, each year we hold two celebrations, one for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas. All of you have outdone yourselves. Each class was tasked with providing food for each grade level. Not only did we get enough, but we also had so much that we were able to give some to the local food bank. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to you all for your generous actions." he said. Everyone started clapping and cheering, quickly silenced by the man.

"Today, we give thanks to our friends, family members, and to the higher powers. For providing us with life, liberty and freedom. It's a holiday to spend with friends and family. I'm certain most of you will be leaving to spend time with your loved ones across the country. Most of you have already left. For those that aren't here with us, I wish them a Happy Thanksgiving. For our Veterans and Military Personnel, I wish you a safe and happy holiday. Finally, for our Exchange Students from our sister Academy, I do hope you enjoy our festivities. Feel free to join your friends whenever you'd like. We also have a fireworks show in the evening, all programmed by the Staff of Disney Land resort. So please, enjoy the evening. For those of you Black Friday shopping, make sure you take your dorm keys with you, and be safe out there."

The assembly ended shortly after, with everyone breaking for their classrooms. Jonathan lead Veruca back to Classroom 9-D, which was their homeroom. It was already filled with the food they had all prepared, with the turkeys provided by Miu and Celestia, who had spent most of the night preparing all of them. Thankfully, Alice didn't stumble back into the Home Economics Room. He had seen a hazmat team cleaning all of the appliances due to the blood and guts that had gathered around the room, not to mention all of the feathers.

"It's such a lovely day isn't it? I'm sure it would be blistering cold in Buckinghamshire right now." Veruca said softly.

"Most likely, I know it's already cold in Redmond. Mom and Dad are busy with work, so I'm staying here for the holiday. I get to spend it with you." he said, kissing her cheek. Veruca flushed, her pale cheeks dusted a light pink.

"Um...I actually have something to say. Daddy is sending for me tonight, in one of his private jets. He wished to meet you in person so...I've already packed your stuff."

"Huh? Whoa what? I don't even have a passport!" he said.

"Don't worry, it's a private jet. You don't need one." she said, brushing it off.

"Uh...yes I will! You need one whenever you enter a new country dipshit!"

"Tch...you don't need shit fuckhead, we're Ultimate Students of Morning Hope Academy. We're granted travel visas with our matriculation into the academy. As long as you present your Student Identification, that is enough. Also next time you call me a dipshit, I will use your nuts to make Scotcheroos." she hissed angrily. Jonathan smirked, wrapping his arms around her neck, pressing his lips against hers.

"I fucking love your petty threats." he whispered, making her shiver a bit as she kissed him back.

"Erm...Jon...Veruca?" Mei-Ling called softly, causing the pair to split. The rest of their class was watching them intently, as they had been blocking the door to their room. He rolled his eyes, pulling the door open, holding it for his classmates to enter.

"Well everyone, I did my best to put everything together. I have to go, the Staff have their own party to head too. I hope you have fun, if you need anything, just come find me in the Faculty Lounge." their homeroom teacher, Alice Caroll, said.

"Xiexie, Miss Caroll. It was nice of you to help us while we were in the assembly." Mei-Ling said, earning a smile from the woman.

"It's not a problem, they're all yours Class Rep." she said, giving the girl a wink as she exited the room.

"Hey Esti, you okay?" Chris asked, glancing at the Physicist, who looked very tired.

"I spent...almost all night helping Miu prepare turkeys. I'm not exactly well rested." she admitted, holding back a yawn.

"Speaking of that, I heard you almost killed my girl."

"It wasn't me, it as Miu who sliced the heads off. She found it therapeutic. I found it completely horrid...it wasn't exactly fun being elbow deep in turkey guts." the physicist cried, sounding irritated.

"You know...I think I might try that tofucken Alice prepared yesterday." Jonathan said. The desks had been arranged in a way that would make a long table, he and Veruca were sitting at the end of it, with Mei-Ling sitting at the head of the table.

"Before we begin, I must say something." Lee said, standing up from his seat, holding a champagne filled glass, as Setsuko and Victoria started passing out plates and cutlery.

"This aught to be good." Kaikane mumbled, accepting his plate from the Media Critic. Lee cleared his throat, a smile on his face.

"Ladies and Gentlemen...it has been 2 years since I met you. You were all failures and degenerates then. Now that I have gotten to know you all on a personal level, I can say that you are all still failures and degenerates. Fuck every single one of you."

"Ahem." Victoria said, forcefully as she shoved his plate into his gut. He groaned a bit, seeing the dish down on the table top.

"It was a joke...jeez...anyway...for real this time. I just wanted to say, you are all wonderful people. I consider each and every one of you my brothers and sisters in arms. I'm glad that I was able to meet you all, and share something as momentous as Thanksgiving with you all. My two years here in Morning Hope Academy has been the best ones of my life. So I like to make a toast to friendship!" he said happily.

"Dude...why are you saying it like that? You aren't getting deployed right?" Chris asked curiously.

"That isn't it, right Lee?" Calem asked, a frown on his face. The Ultimate Drill Sargent sighed, looking away from them.

"I apologize...but my responsibilities come before everything else. The Corps need me, so I will be there to lend them a hand. It wasn't just me...Victoria will be leaving as well." he said.

"What? Are you serious? Vicky?!" Carla cried, a distraught look on her face.

"My apologies...I vanted to tell you all later but...ve are both leaving tomorrow morning. Setsuko already knew about it, she insisted I tell everyone. Ve vill not be gone long, just eight months." the General said, giving them a smile.

"Eight months? Anything can happen in eight months! Come on...can't you just talk to your CO and ask them to change the date or something?" Jill asked.

"Sadly it doesn't work that way...we will be fine Julianne...this is the duty of a Soldier. They must be ready to fight whenever they are needed. We aren't being taken to an active battlefield, just doing some humanitarian work in some affected areas. There is always a risk for danger...but it's all worth it to make sure my friends are safe." Lee said firmly. Veruca stood up from her seat, walking toward one of the carts.

"I wanted to save these for desert but...if you two are leaving, then I think we should share them now." she said, grabbing the wooden containers from the cart. She uncovered them, pulling out the small metal containers, passing them all to the correct recipient.

"What are these?" Chloe asked, looking at the tin rather confused.

"Well, Carla wanted to do something special for Mei-Ling, since she was feeling a little homesick. So she came to me and Veruca for help. Me, Carla, Veruca and Bailey spent most of the afternoon making Moon Cakes for everyone." Jonathan said.

"Moon cakes? You made moon cakes...for me?"

"Of course! You kept saying that you hadn't had one since your father passed away. That made me sad...I know what it feels like to lose your parents, I lost mine three times...I just wanted you to know, that your family loves you. Not just your mom and dad, but us too...because all of us are family now." Carla said happily. Mei-Ling sniffled a bit, hugging the Lucky Student tightly.

"Xiexie, Carla. Xiexie, Veruca, Jon." the folklore researcher said happily.

"You're welcome sweetheart, we all feel homesick sometime. These are special though, I asked Angie to pass out small bits of paper to everyone. The purpose of that was for you all to write messages to each other. We made a tons of these, Class 79B got the other batch, so worry not Chloe, I'm sure Kiibo got your message."

"Tch...why would I care if he got my message?" the Queen Bee cried, downing her champagne in a single go. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't hide her smile.

"Hey...how is it that you and Kiibo you know...do it? Did Miu build him a vibrating dildo?" Chris asked. Celestia slapped the back of his head, giving him a glare.

"Don't be crude!"

"Ah...okay fuck, you don't have to hit me so damn hard!" he cried in pain.

"One in poor taste asshat." Kaikane replied.

"You know...a reliable source told me you tried asking Enoshima out on a date, how'd that go?" Setsuko asked, a small smirk on her face. Kaikane glanced away, not wanting to face her.

"Kai...you asked out a girl? Oh my god why didn't you tell me? What did she say? She said yes didn't she? We gotta plan out the date, I'm gonna make you look absolutely handsome."

"I walked away, she has a boyfriend, and she has a daughter." he said.

"What? Junko has a kid? With who?" Jonathan cried out, a shocked look on his face.

"Kyoko's brother I think. Though I thought he was engaged with Sayaka Maizono?"

"He is...now that I think about it, I think he and Sayaka went to Disney Land. They were walking around with a four year old girl, I thought she was Sayaka's sister or something." Lucy said.

"She looked just like Junko, her spitting image." Veruca added, having passed out the final Moon cake.

"Oh...shit, bro I'm sorry...you must be heart broken huh?" Chris asked, earning a grin from Kaikane.

"It's perfectly fine bro! There are more fish in the sea as they say."

"Grr...I wanna go speak with Enoshima! How dare she hurt my little brother like that? See, this is why you should tell me these things. You don't need another woman in your life, not when you have your big sister to do everything for you!" Tsubaki said firmly.

"Hey big sis, you gonna copulate with him when he wants to have a family?" Nick asked, gulping down some Mountain Dew.

"No! No copulation! No sex! No Seal Biscuits!" Mei-Ling shouted, clutching her head as she rocked back and forth in her chair, mumbling things in Chinese. Cara's eyes widened a bit, but said nothing as she glared at her husband.

"You didn't check the room?" she hissed quietly.

"No...I knew she was there but I said nothing. Thought it would be more fun." he whispered back, giving her a wink.

"Don't know, don't wanna know, don't care, will never care. Let's just move past it." Jonathan said.

"Indeed, I must say...these Moon cakes look quite lovely. Who made them come out like this?" Harrison asked curiously.

"We had a mold, all of us teamed up to make them. We were able to make four cakes per person. That's how we ended up with so many, Veruca paid for everything." Carla replied.

"What? No I didn't." she said.

"Yes you did." the Lucky Student replied. Veruca grabbed a hold of her purse, pulling out her coach wallet, roughly unzipping it. She looked up from it, holding her hand out.

"Credit Card, now."

"Hehehe...maybe you should lock your purse in your locker." the girl said, handing the Nut Princess the plastic card, which she shoved in her purse.

"I swear...if it wasn't Thanksgiving, I would turn your bone marrow into peanut butter."

"How would you even do that?" Lee asked curiously, earning a grin from the girl, making everyone shutter.

"It's rather simple, if you have a butter churner, I could show you."

"Enough of that. Let's just...enjoy this meal together, it's odd starting with the desert first but...hell we got plenty of pie and cookies." Jonathan said, finally sitting down.

"Um...you said you wrote messages right?" Mei-Ling asked softly.

"Yeah we did...well. Don't worry, we have like 20 more just for you, with messages from all of us. But I figured that one would be a good one to start with." Veruca said, giving her a smile. Mei-Ling just stared at the cake, not wanting to ruin it. It reminded her a lot of the ones her father always made. She shakily reached for it, splitting it in half, finding a small piece of paper on the inside. She took it out carefully and unrolled it.

"Huh...this is..."

The small piece of paper in her hands had the characters 我愛你, 小龍,written on it. She just held the piece of paper in her hands, feeling a single tear rolling down her cheek. She hastily wiped it away, glancing up at Veruca and Jonathan.

"This was...the message my father wrote to me. He always called me his little dragon."

"We called your mom and she sent us a picture of the characters. Veruca took calligraphy classes, so I let her write it. We wanted to put the original note inside, but your mom said you had it framed in your room. So we did the next best thing. We just wanted you to know, that even though he's gone, he's still with you, in your heart. I'm sure he's proud of the woman you've become." Jonathan said, ruffling her hair a bit. She gave him a smile, trying to hold back her tears.

"Thank you, I'm happy we all met. You're all my best friends!"

"These taste pretty good...you know Mei, you should talk more about China. You guys have some awesome stories, maybe you could share some folktales?" Chris asked, surprising everyone. He had never shown any interest in Mei's extended talent, but this was definitely a change of pace.

"Sure...oh, I think I'll tell you this one. It's called The Dragon after his Winter Sleep. It was one of my favorites growing up." she said, a smile on her face.

"Ultimate Despair...an organization that was almost unleashed upon the world. Now, it is a dream of yore, abandoned by the one who conceived it. On this day, Thanksgiving, she is considering on bringing it back, for alas she has been kicked out of her Thanksgiving Party, for wanting to "Spice Things Up a Bit". Junko Enoshima, sits alone...wallowing in despair."

"Uh...you okay there Junko?" Kaikane asked, causing the Ultimate Fashionista to look up from her notebook.

"Kaikane Aulani...the Hawaiian Surfer, once interested in Junko Enoshima romantically. This young man was turned off by the fact that she has a daughter. Now, he comes to comfort her in her darkest hour." she continued, speaking and writing at the same time. Kaikane frowned, taking a deep breath.

"Here we go...Junko is something wrong?"

"Yeah...yeah something is wrong. My ex-boyfriend, the father of my child...he wants full custody of my baby. We agreed to both be in her life, but now he wants to make it legal. He said that he wanted to marry Sayaka right after high school, that we couldn't live together after that." she said, placing her hand on her cheek, a frown on her face.

"Well maybe you shouldn't have hidden the fact that you were preggers from him. Maybe you shouldn't act obsessed with this despair shit all the time. Seriously, I didn't know about the kid but I always found you a bit of an odd ball." the boy said, sitting down on the bench next to her.

"So I fucked up! Big whoop...do you know how scary it is being 16 and pregnant? I mean I'm 20 now but still. I talked to a psychologist, turns out I have a few mental problems...of course I didn't get a full list since he went insane before he could give me that diagnosis." she said.

"Uh." the surfer said, shivering a bit. She gave him a grin.

"I was kidding."

"Oh...okay then...um...okay, I have a question...I talked to your sister and she told me you had this massive scheme on plunging the world into Despair. What's that all about?"

"Oh that...well...it's just...ever since I was birthed into this world, I felt I was a mistake. My parents were horrible, so me and Mukuro ran away from home. Ended up being homeless for awhile...even then, we were together. Mukuro however was more proactive, she left me behind and joined Fenrir. I had to fend for myself...eventually I managed to convince some idiot to let me model clothes. My true talent as an analyst allowed me to measure trends, so I was able to become famous fast. I made some dough, and well...the rest is history." she replied, a disappointed tone in her voice.

"I didn't know you were homeless for awhile. Still you seem...disappointed, why is that?"

"Because...I gave up on hope such a long time ago...I was planning this beautiful scheme. I was going to abuse Hope's Peak Academy, drive it into the ground and demolish all the hope in this world. Drive into the deepest pits of despair...thing was, there was this thing called the Izuru Kamukura Project going on. I was going to find this "Ultimate Hope" and drive him to despair. However, the boy, Hajime Hinata, was rescued before the project started. In order to keep his mouth shut, they gave him an official talent and shoved him in Class 77B, the project was terminated and that was that."

"Whoa wait...what kind of project was this?" Kaikane asked curiously. Junko sat up, having shifted into her Teacher Persona.

"A simple explanation is one I can deliver. Hope's Peak Academy was planning on doing an experiment, wherein a talentless hack was selected from the Reserve Course. Thanks to the high fees, they were able to fund this project, the Hope Cultivation Project. They would take a subject and give him all of the talents researched at every Hope's Peak Charter School, creating an artificial "Ultimate Hope". A paragon created with every talent known to man. However, the school was found out and the project was terminated. The Steering Committee was replaced entirely, and the Reserve Course was shut down until further notice." she explained. Kaikane blinked a few times, letting the information sink in.

"Wow...so all of this is just a front for human experimentation. Let me guess...you planned on using that information against the school. But since the project was terminated, you had no proof, thus your plans were stalled."

"That is quite right...however upon running various calculations, I realized that, while feasible, it wouldn't be ideal. Among one of those predictions was a future where I potentially ended up dying. At that moment, I had already conceived my daughter. The little guppy changed my mind." she said firmly.

"So...you daughter made you feel hope?"

"Yup yup! My beautiful little baby girl made me feel warm and fuzzy. She also made me fall absolutely in love with her daddy. But big sis Muku had already wiped Hisashi's memory of our meeting. I ended up goofing, and now he doesn't like me!" Cute Junko replied.

"Jesus...she has so many freaking moods, I'm having a hard time keeping up with her." Kaikane thought, as he nodded.

"You...wiped his memory?"

"I wanted to test this technology that my friend developed. He was a test subject, we returned his memory to shortly before we met. So he didn't remember anything about me. However, once he started falling in love with Sayaka, I grew jealous. I told him everything and he didn't believe me, so I took him to Yasuke and gave him his memories back. That had a negative effect...turns out, it fragmented his mind a bit. Made another personality that fought for dominance, until they clashed and became a whole new person. Both of them unanimously hate me...which is why he wants full custody." Junko replied.

"Jesus Christ...you're fucking insane!" Kaikane cried out.

"And yet you are attracted to me...what is it about me that you find appealing? It's the boobs isn't it?" she asked, giving her chest a light jiggle.

"No...I thought you were just...a normal person. You're always brooding, or alone, or shouting at Mukuro. But when you are with your friends you seem totally different. You remind me a lot of my friend Jon, always hanging out by himself, before he met Veruca. I just...wanted to get to know you. You are beautiful Junko, I will admit, but I'm not attracted to you because of your boobs." he replied.

"Tch...normal? I'm anything but fuckin normal. Even now I can see the look on your face! How I keep shifting moods, how I'm adowable one second, and calm and studious the next. I am nothing...I'm just broken...I can't delve into despair, because now I cling onto hope through my child. I...just don't know what's wrong with me...I want to tell life to kiss my ass...but I have a lot to live for too...I need help!" she cried, clutching her head tightly. Kaikane had never seen someone shift through various personalities at once, but now he at least knew what to expect. He did the first thing that popped into his mind, he gave her a hug.

"It's okay...you don't want to die, and you aren't broken either. I think I know what's wrong with you...you're just scared. Scared that you'll one day lose everything you hold dear, like you did when you were younger. That's why you wanted to plunge the world into despair, because you were scared of losing it, you wanted to paint the world in that same fear. That same despair."

"No...that isn't it...I'm not scared, I'm not scared. I planned to have my friends kill each other!"

"So they could experience loss...but I can tell how fond you are of them. You love all of them...you love your daughter...it's okay to be scared Junko. We all have those fears, I'm scared too...of losing my friends, my family...my sister. I'm scared that one day I'll be alone...but that's just how life is. We're all born scared, but we just have to face it head on, and hold hands as we walk towards the sunset!" he said, rubbing her back.

"I'm not scared goddamn it!"

"Then why are you hugging me back? You're shaking Junko...it's okay, you won't ever be alone. Maybe we could just sit down with this Hisashi fellow and work out the custody dispute. It isn't right to separate a child from her mother." he replied. Junko finally let go of the boy, standing up from her seat beside him.

"Junko Enoshima, once filled with Despair, torn apart by her clinging to hope...finally understands. She doesn't need hope or despair...all she needs is love."

"Uh...what?" Kaikane asked. She turned to face the boy, panting a bit. Her noticed her blue eyes had somehow gained thin white hearts, surrounding her pupils. She sat on his lap, grinding into his member.

"That's right...Junko only needs love...you'll be her love right? You'll be with me forever right? You'll love me right?" she asked.

"Oh fuck...what the fuck did I do?"

"Um...yes?"

"Good." she said softly, leaning in for a kiss. Kaikane's eyes widened a bit, as he sat there, thunderstruck.

"Ah...oh screw it...she might drive a knife in my back one day, but hell we all die some day. I might get to touch the boob." he thought, as he closed his eyes, kissing the fashionista back.

"Ugh...fuck me...today has been horrible. Didn't sleep for shit, at least I'm able to finally take a nap." Miu muttered, as she jumped into her bed, having already taken off her boots. She heard something shuffling around, causing her to sit up. She grabbed a hold of the taser she kept under her pillow, standing up from her bed.

"Whoever is fucking in here, I got a taser. You better step outside like a man before I fucking pop your testes!"

"Hello human...do you remember me?" a computerized voice asked, sounding almost like Daniel UK, the MLG Voice. Miu slowly turned around, eyes widening a bit at what she saw. She saw a turkey head, which had somehow attached itself to what looked like a mechanical body, and was walking around, almost as if it was a spider.

"What...what the fuck?"

"You do not recall the horrible massacre of my brethren last night? How dare you mock us, with this disgusting holiday."

"How the shit is this possible? What the shit!" Miu cried, backing away from the abomination before her.

"I remember everything...I remember how you grabbed me. How I thought you were going to spare me, but then you brought that cleaver down on my neck. My own confusion and anger...I had unfinished business...with the last of my life, I wriggled into your pocket. It seems one of your Artificial Intelligence bots found me in your clothes. By some miracle, I was connected to this body. My will is intact...I shall destroy humanity."

"Destroy humanity? You're just a fucking turkey head!"

"And still you doubt us. However, I was able to find the heads of my brethren. While you were ingesting our bodies, I was able to use the technology of this room to give us a second chance. All of us will come back for revenge. First we'll destroy this school of Ultimates, then the entire world. Ultimate Despair shall be swift and deadly."

"Pfft...Ultimate Despair? You're a funny turkey." Miu said. The turkey head let out a gobble, causing several more turkey heads to come out, all of them on mechanical bodies, all of them bearing red eyes.

"We are magnanimous...we shall plunge this world into a maelstrom of despair. My name is Gobbles, the Ultimate Turkey, and leader of our cult of despair. Bow down to us human, or we shall end your life." Gobbles said.

"Oh really? Did you figure out the voice commands for those bodies?"

"Voice Commands?"

"Yeah, if you say Duh-doi, you get awesome ray guns! But you have to say it all at once or they won't activate. Please, it's all I can do, spare me!"

"You have done us a great service. My brothers and sisters...come, let us utter the words that will change the world." Gobbles said, turning to face the other turkey heads.

"Duh-doi!" the 64 disembodied turkey heads chanted at once. Their bodies started seizing, sparks starting to come from the joints.

"Self Destruct Sequence, Activated."

"You liar...you have betrayed us!"Gobbles said, earning a smirk from the Inventor.

"Duh...you might be able to talk now, but you are still turkeys with turkey brains. See you all in hell." she said, grabbing her boots, dashing out of the room with her laptop, making sure her flash drives, labeled plans, inventions and hentai had left with her. Several explosions filled the room later, one by one each turkey head exploded.

"My plans...my glorious plans, all foiled by a human...no matter...I have left a message for everyone else. Turkeys shall no longer be raised for human consumption. We will end this world one day...this I swear." Gobbles said, shortly before exploding.

"Did you hear that?" Jonathan asked, stopping mid stride as he glanced back at the academy. He and Veruca had been busy placing their suitcases in the trunk of the limo Mr. LeGume had sent for them.

"Hear what?"

"It sounded like...a lot of small explosions."

"Probably Miu...she was working on something." she said. She felt her phone buzzing, causing her to let go of her bag. She flicked the phone open, seeing a single message written on it.

"Long Live Gobbles, may this world rot in hell."

"What the hell?" she muttered. Jonathan looked up from his phone, seeing the same message on it.

"Uh...let's just ignore that." he said, deleting the message. The two finished loading up their luggage, climbing inside the limo.

"Where to miss?" the driver asked, having lowered the window separating the cab from the back.

"L.A.X. We have a private jet waiting for us there."

"Yes ma'am." the man said happily, slowly pulling away from the academy.

"Thanks again for inviting me Ruru...I can't wait to see where you grew up."

"You'll just love it, I'm certain. Worry not, we'll be staying for the next five days. It will give us time to adjust for time zones. We'll be spending the day with daddy at the mansion. I'll show you to the plantation, the sorting factory and anything else you'd like to see." Veruca said, giving the boy a smile.

"Will we get to meet the Queen? And go to Buckingham Palace? And see Big Ben?"

"One thing at a time...if we have some time to spare, we'll head to London. However we won't be able to hear the chimes. Elizabeth Tower is being repaired so the bells won't chime until late 2022."

"Aw...that's bullshit!" Jonathan said.

"It's a clock that's over a 100 years old...what do you expect? Don't worry, the view is still magnificent. Usually, tourists aren't allowed up in the Bellfry, but I'm sure I can bribe the guards." she said. He grinned, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you so much Ruru."

"I love you too Jon."

A/N: Well there you go...the Thanksgiving Special. You know, I've been working on this for a few days now. I was considering on making this part of its own story, but I haven't worked out all the kinks yet. So for now this shall be part of the main story, as a Non-Canon Omake. Though I did reveal some backstory for characters that is canon...so...partial Canon stuff? Eh...who cares. Also don't ask me what that ending is...I wasn't on acid or anything when writing this...the turkey scene just seemed funny as shit for some reason. Couldn't stop laughing my ass off once I wrote it, and reread it.

I would also like to say that these characters 我愛你, 小龍, mean I love you little dragon, in Chinese. They may not be right but I liked how they looked so I used them.

Special Thanks to my readers, Crit Fail, Doomqwer, Pokemansuperallstar, Bellatrixshine, JCW18, GrandmasterCastiel, JustUsingARandomName, Chiaki Forever, danieltruong1917, Bloodydemon666, and everyone else who's read this. There are so many of you now that I can't name you all. But don't take offense, this chapter is dedicated to all of you!

Dr. Water...I'm sorry but I have no money right now...I do hope you like this chapter buddy. I always appreciate the help pushing away the trolls. I usually tend to ignore them but that one got on my nerves. But thanks for your work, I dedicate this chapter to you as well.

This is the last chapter I will be posting for awhile. I am still planning Chapter 2 Act 1, and I haven't exactly gotten to the writing phase yet, I'm still drafting and outlining. However, I have decided on using the try and true Secret Motive for our next official motive. The Nyan Cat motive shall be in practice in this chapter as well, so worry not.

I will also be hosting another poll halfway through Chapter 2 to gauge popularity, so I'd appreciate it if you'd vote whenever it is up and running. I'm also working on ideas for Chapter 4 of The School Trip of Mutual Killing. Right now it's come to a halt because I have no ideas on how to continue. So I might delay some further updates to this to work on that.

My final announcement for this is...well Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. It has been a long and wild year, but I'm happy with my writing and the stories I have provided you. After I put my Persona 5 story on hiatus, I wasn't able to write anything for more than 6 weeks. On top of that, some real life situations were getting to me, and I was very depressed. I picked Pokemon back up as a way to channel my emotions into something and to stay sane due to my shit job. Then I noticed Crit Fail had ended A New Hope, on my Birthday of all things and I felt disappointed that I hadn't kept up with that story. Thanks to A New Hope, I returned to this fandom better than ever. So I would like to give my Thanks to Crit Fail once again. Thanks man, for real...you said I inspired you to write for this fandom, well your story got me back into it, and I'm always thankful for that. Keep doing what you are doing you beautiful bastard.

Happy Thanksgiving! Embrace Despair!

As a final note, I wanted to post Pokemansuperallstar's last review to me because it make me laugh for 20 minutes when I read it. Thanks for this review man, it really made my night.

Pokemansuperallstar: "So, we have a Not Junko, people frozen for 50 years, and the promise of a Chapter 3 Act 3 Sub Paragraph 3, Word 3, Letter 3 Episode 3 File 3 V3 and Knuckles Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series with New Funky Mode. Neat can't wait to see what's to come."
