Chapter 13: Another Reunion
Day 4
(I wake up at the scramble crossing, but everyone else is asleep, and Mr. H is gone.)
Joshua: Sleep well?
(His voice startled me. I thought he was asleep like everyone else. He laughed at my reaction.)
Me: Yeah, I guess.
Joshua: Have any memories come back yet?
Me: Huh? [Oh. The dream was a memory.] No. Why do you ask?
Joshua: I'm just curious. Neku got some of his memories back during the game by scanning my mind. I'm just making sure that you're not trying to cheat in the game too.
Me: No. I'm not going to cheat. I'm winning this game fair and square. [I'm not really cheating. That memory just came to me. Anyway, was the boy that saved me Joshua? It looked like him. I want to ask, but if I do then he'll know that I remembered something.]
(Joshua checked his phone.)
Joshua: It's 9:30. Well, I think it's about time that everyone should wake up.
(He pushed a button on his phone and suddenly a vending machine came crashing down next to everyone. They all sat up screaming.)
Neku: What was that for Joshua?
(Joshua walked over to the vending machine and grabbed a bottle of water.)
Joshua: What? I was thirsty.
Neku: So you summoned a vending machine to come crashing down next to us? You could've hurt or killed us!
Joshua: Oh, relax. Everyone's fine. You need to stop overreacting, Neku.
Neku: Shut up!
(While they continued to argue, I went over to the fallen vending machine and grabbed a bottle of water. I kept thinking about the dream. I was pretty sure that the boy was Joshua, but why did he save me? Eventually, Shiki stopped the fight and everything was finally calm again.)
Shiki: Guys! Our mission is going to show up any second. We don't have time for this.
(And then our phones start ringing.)
Me: Wow, Shiki. You must be psychic or something.
(We all started laughing, and then remembered we have a new mission to focus on.)
Mission:
Go to 104. The real mission will be given there. You have 10 minutes to get there.
Me: Real mission?
Joshua: We only have ten minutes. We should get going.
(Everyone nodded, and we set off to get to 104…until Neku hit a wall.)
Neku: Ow! Not again. I'm sick of these things!
(Shiki ran to him.)
Shiki: Are you ok Neku?
Neku: Yeah. I'll be fine.
Joshua: That's what you get for not being careful.
(I couldn't help laughing. Joshua laughed too. Neku glared at us.)
?: If you want to get through defeat these noise.
(We turned to see a reaper wearing a red hoodie with a few noise surrounding him. We were prepared to fight when a boy and a girl on a skateboard came flying towards us and the wall.)
?: Look out, yo!
(We quickly got out of the way as he fell off his skateboard and hit the wall face-first. The girl fell off too, but Neku caught her before she hit the ground.)
?: Ow! What's with all the stupid walls showin' up!
?: Beat. You have to be more careful next time.
Beat: Yeah. I know. Sorry, Rhyme.
Neku: Beat? Rhyme? You're in the game again too?
Beat: Yeah. So Phones, how've you been?
Rhyme: It's been a while. It's good to see everyone again.
Yep. They finally show up. The entire group is in the game now! Please keep reading and review!
