Chapter 6: Making Plans

Once Parappa Paula and Matt have all gone back to Parappa Town after the horrible day in Violetriver, the three of them arrived to Parappa's house. Parappa looked at his two friends. "Sorry for getting you guys in danger there," he apologized with a sigh. The three of them were just trying to support each other after the traumatizing night. "It's alright, you had no idea in the first place," Paula reassured him not blaming Parappa at all. She walked away to get home and treat her injury.

Matt couldn't help but rub the back of his head awkwardly. "Well man, listen. Just look forward to the dance tomorrow. Try not to let everything drag ya down," Matt said reminding Parappa. There was a school dance tomorrow. Parappa just groaned unsure if he should go since he thought Sunny had fake dumped him to get her father to lighten up on them, but he was oblivious to that fact. Parappa just waved while Matt was heading back to his home to get some rest.

Parappa entered his home while walking through the living room. His younger sister pinto was watching television when she saw him. "Hey, bro. That Sunny girl has been looking for you," Pinto told him but this confused her brother. "What do you mean?" he asked confusedly while she turned the television off. "She's called a lot since yesterday and came over too, but you vanished. Dad got worried too," Pinto explained. Sunny had been coming over a lot, but Pinto didn't know why Sunny was coming over, which was because she was trying to get in contact with Parappa to explain the fake breakup, but she could never get to him.

Parappa just went to his room afterwards to find his phone. It hadn't been touched at all while he was away. He went over and picked up his cellphone, switching it back on. He opened it, seeing tons of missed calls, voice and text messages from Sunny. He didn't want to read them or listen to the voice messages, so he deleted each and every one of them, instead thinking of listening to his friends' advice and moving on. Parappa sat down on his bed, now thinking about what the mayor Billy begged him and his friends to do, just constantly ringing through his mind.

Suddenly Parappa's cellphone began ringing with a pop tune. He opened the cellphone and held it up to his ear. "Hello?" he answered still slightly lost in his thoughts. "Hi, Parappa," it was Paula. He was wondering what she was calling about. "Hey, Paula. Are you okay?" Parappa asked still confused. "Yeah, I just got home from the doctors'. They believed me when I told them I fell on a broken bottle," she explained. She had lied about her leg injury since she believed that no one would believe her about a monster hurting her, and would be considered a fairy tale.

"I owe you anyway for helping me get out of my depression," Parappa claimed before hearing a giggle from Paula. "Good then, because… well… I know the break up was hard to get through, but I was wondering… maybe we could go to the dance together?" Paula suggested. His eyes widened while listening to her. "S-sure, Paula. I-I'll pick ya up tomorrow night," he claimed with a smile.

After a short talk, Parappa hung up his cellphone and sighed lying back on his bed while dialing Matt's number, just listening to the faint ringing sound and waiting for an answer. "Hello?" Matt finally answered as Parappa yawned. "Hey, Matt. Listen, we need to talk," Parappa responded. His friend scratched his head unsurely but shrugged. "Sure, about what?" he asked confusedly.

"I feel bad, man. I mean, we ditched a bunch of people in their time of need," Parappa explained his guilt before getting cut off by Matt. "You too? Yeah, I've been feeling bad about it too," Matt claimed with an irritated groan while rubbing his eyes. "I was thinking… maybe we should help them," he said making his friend's eyes widen. "What? Dude, you know that is not safe at all," Matt exclaimed not thinking it was a bright idea in the slightest. "Y-yeah, I know it's not safe, but I can't be happy to have left hundreds of people to die over a bunch of monster," Parappa responded but heard Matt groan. They just seemed to have awkward silence for a while.

"Fine. Why not?" Matt finally spoke agreeing to it. Parappa just laughed. "Alright! See ya tomorrow. We'll head to Violetriver after the dance," he told him before hanging up and lying back on his bed. A lot was going to be planned for tomorrow since he was taking Paula to this school dance and afterwards going back to the kind cursed town of Violetriver. It was going to be a lot of work to help break the curse.
