Chapter three
By Cherry-sama


AN: Hi! And welcome back! Ummm… This is Souta's… Just to let you know, there will be some answering machines in the Dream World…


/Souta's Answering Machine/

Souta: Hello. This is the residence of the Inaba Family. My parents have asked me to say this. I, like most of my friends, have had a weird stalker by the name of Cherry-sama give me this answering machine. I should probably ask her why the words 'SOUTA! YOUR AWESOME!', all in capitals, is written all over the answering machine… She used 'your' instead of the correct 'you're' or 'you are'… Anyways, if I, or any of my family members cannot answer the phone, you are welcome to leave a message.

Message 1: Hi Souta… This is Yuuki… I was wondering if you have seen my blow drier… I have no clue where it is, since it had somehow disappeared from the clothesline, a few days before. I thought it was at Takaomi's place, but he didn't have it. I thought my brothers had it but they were innocent… If you hear anything, please call back.

Message 2: HI SOUTA!!!!!! IT'S ME!!! NACHI!!! I LOVE YOU!!! But Takaomi doesn't love me… Nuts! Anyways, I got mad at Yuuki a few days ago and while I was leaving, I slipped her blow drier (which was hanging on the clothes line) into my pocket and went home. If she asks about it, tell her that you're holding it ransom for ¥1234567890 and to leave the cash by Nachi's house, with a note on it saying 'I'm sorry Nachi, Takaomi's yours'. But, before I return it… I could maybe use the blow drier for my own hair… AND I'LL MAKE IT PRETTY-FUL! Ahem. Don't tell her quite yet…

Message 3: Souta… It's Takaomi here. I don't know why… But apparently, there's a random stalker on the loose… And from Yuuki's sources, she's living off of grass and iced tea cans, in Yuuki's backyard. Yuuki says that it's really annoying having the person in her backyard, living off of nothing but grass and iced tea cans, since she constantly yells stuff about chipmunks and something about Nachi being guilty… So she asked me to take care of the…thing…

Cherry-sama: CHIPMUNKS!!! NACHI'S GUILTY! I LOVE ICED TEA!

Takaomi: Oh! That's a new one! (sounds of scribbling on a notepad are heard)

Cherry-sama: SOUTA!!! YOU'RE AWESOME!!!

Takaomi: Anyways, I'm wondering this. What do you give a rabid human like this to eat?

Cherry-sama: ICED TEA HAS CAFFEINE!

Takaomi: I have a sinking feeling that answers my question…

Message 4: Hi Souta… (static) This is Keima… (static) I'm asking you to tell (static) my parents that I'm okay. I'm currently (static) stuck inside the dump truck, with so much trash that it's a (static) paradise! I managed to find a homeless (static) guy in here that also loves trash, and he (static) traded this cell phone for the plastic bag I was thinking of (static) using. I wonder why he traded it for a (static) ¥5 plastic bag? And why is there (static) so much stat—

Message 5: Hello. Do you have my son? Well? Do you? I KNOW YOU HAVE HIM! Wait… Who's Souta? Wait a minute… I think I have the wrong number…


AN: Yeah… So this is this chapter… So…many…events… Ahem. The last message actually happened to my sister… But it wasn't on the answering machine… Anyways, please review.
