A lot has happened over the last six months that put a halt on all my fanfiction. I had a job, I was working on my thesis, one of my best friends died, I graduated, I moved, I'm working nearly full-time, I'm about to move again, and so on. That said, I'm getting back in the game, so let's pick up where we left off: with Beat getting dumped by Eri.
Chapter 58: The Squeaky Wheel
"I can't believe he's been like this for nearly six months."
"Yeah…he doesn't move, doesn't talk, doesn't really do much of anything."
"So basically, he's the same as he was before…OUCH! I was joking. Get off me, Rhyme!"
"That…that's what she said, yo…"
"You really need to put some heart in it, Beat."
"…"
"Well, this is a major joykill."
"What are we gonna do, Neku?"
"I dunno. We gotta pull Beat out of this funk though. Any suggestions?"
"They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease, so let's think about all the complaints he's made and see if we can come up with any…what are you doing?"
"AH!"
"Neku! What are you pouring on him?!"
"Beat is the wheel, so I'm greasing him up! And if he's not over it, I'll light him on fire, 'cauz I can't take any more of this crap."
"YO! YO! I'm cool! I'm cool!"
"Well…that did it!"
"Unbelievable. Beat stupidity combined with Neku resourcefulness. Anyway, I guess everything is more or less back to normal now?"
To be continued…
