What's up guys? DSG here with another chapter, sorry about the long updates. Highschool is a real pain, ESPECIALLY since I'm in an advanced program AND I'm in clubs AND volunteering in the school office for community hours. As you can see I'm a busy boy.
AGuyWithNoSkills:Nice, another chapter. I don't really remember the last time I did a chapter for one of my stories, probably around 7-8 weeks now. Whatever. I'm making progress.
So, they brought back Red, and now Ashley and Kenta have a possible relationship! I'm bad with relationships in writing. Anyway, Sasha came at the wrong time, but at least she didn't freak out like other people would do. Hehe. She took it pretty good. Red however, didn't. I would kinda understand, though I don't think a dead Kenta would've been a solution. Hehe. So, I don't know where Ashley comes from, or how strong wizards and witches are there, but being a B-level witch and being able to summon beings from other dimensions? Woah. That's a lot. I don't know how high B-level is in the list, so yeah. Can you tell me what game Ashley is from? I wanna research. Okay. Well, if you're going to put this in the chapter, you might need to shorten this. It's pretty long. And this is a bit less than the really good reviews I do. Well, not really good, but really long. :I
Anyway, I'll see you next chapter, or before that. :)

I mean Sasha kinda took it personally, but she's the student body president, she's gotta be in check of her feelings and everything. And there's a specific reason I called her a B-Level Witch. Yes she's not THAT good with magic, but that's not the reason I did it. And don't worry about length of your review, not many people read this story. It's a small project to get me ready for the big one.
TeamDeitys: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO updates are going to be slower? :c but, but it already took like 5 blue moons for this to get out :c I guess we'll have to deal with it, I'm in the same boat [nice boat] with the homework not done cause screw homework! –TeamDeitys
I'm really sorry about it, but that's just how life is.
ChaiCat17: I love this fic :)
I'm glad you do.
Leaffeather:Ah school. A place for kids and teenagers to rot as the teachers mercilessly give them a stack of homework. At least it's the first week of school (for me).
Is Kenta gonna attract more ladies? Is Red gonna be the protective brother? Is Sasha gonna be alright? Is Leaf gonna stop talking soon? Find out in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z!
Funny…but yah, school is torture.
Guest1: I don't want to be that guy, but in the Warioware cutscenes, it shows that Red actually turns into Ashley's wand, and she brought it with her, sooooooooooooooooo yeah.
Oh…well…let's just pretend that didn't happen. It's a fanfiction after all.
Sleep came easier to Kenta, now that he wasn't sharing a bed with a tiny witch. He almost missed it in a way, the tight yet tender grip of the little witch.
"What time is it?" He groaned and held his head, hitting his head a couple of times to wake his brain up. He rubbed his eyes and looked outside, trying to get an estimate of what the time is. Gazing up at the clear blue sky, he noticed that the sun was hanging nearly overhead, suggesting that it was about noon. "I should really get a clock." He groaned, stepping into the bathroom.
Something struck him as odd though…it was silent…
Too silent…
Normally by this time, Ashley would have been bouncing up and down to get him to make her some breakfast, but there wasn't a sound in the house; and as Kenta explored the rooms, there wasn't any sight of the tiny teen troublemaker either.
"Weird…" Kenta muttered to himself as he walked into the kitchen for some toast with sugar and some orange slices to go along with it. "Maybe she left a note or something?"
Sure enough, a small note was taped on the fridge door.
Dear Kenta,
Sasha was looking for you, but you were still sleeping so instead the three of us went to the mall to get some more clothes, now that I know my size. Don't wait up for us.
~Ashley
"Well that answers that question, now what do I do?" He thought to himself.
"So…Ashley…what do you think of Kenta?" Sasha 'casually' mentioned, browsing for some new short shorts.
"Why do you ask?" Ashley inquired, poking her dainty little head out of the changing room curtain, with Red casually floating around.
"It's just that Kenta doesn't really work well with people. So I'm wondering how you see him." Sasha explained in a convincing tone.
"Well he's very arrogant, sarcastic, doesn't seem to understand the world around him, even though I can't say I'm much better…" Ashley began, counting off each trait with a finger.
"I see."
"But he's very kind and always willing to help, no matter what the odds…not to mention that he's kind of cute…" The witch mumbled the last part.
"Oh…I see…" Sasha continued to browse the clothing options, averting Ashley's curious gaze.
"What about you?"
"What?"
"What do you think of Kenta?" Ashley asked, a curious gaze upon her eyes.
"U-um…well I've known him for a long time. He's always been really distant and apathetic. He never participated in activities and always kept to himself. He's incredibly sarcastic and a bit pessimistic, and quite annoying. However he's always willing to lend a hand, no matter what the circumstance is. He can be very kind and sometimes even charismatic, he's really strong ….and that sexy look in his eyes when he knows what he wants…oh god…" Sasha started to trail off and melt into her own little fantasy world.
"Okay then…" Ashley said as she walked to a different area, clutching the clothes she had in her hand with a furious vigor.
"What's so special about this Kenta guy anyways? He doesn't seem that cool." Red said, making himself invisible to everyone but Ashley and Sasha.
"You wouldn't understand. Kenta is someone you get used to. He's not the best with first impressions. You'll get used to him, and maybe even like him." Sasha smiled.
"Doubt it."
"With Ashley and Sasha gone shopping, what am I supposed to do to pass the time?" Kenta muttered to himself as he walked through the park. Not something that he regularly did, but there really wasn't anything to do. It wasn't that cold, nothing he couldn't handle. The boy continued walking, looking around at how the world worked, how it interacted with itself and human life.
"The distance between us is so close, so why do I feel so far away from you?"
A soothing melody drifted through the air, dancing along with soft winter breeze. What struck him as odd, however, was that not many people visited the park anymore, so he decided to kill time by finding out the source of the soothing sounds.
"I catch a peek a look at you every day, but you never seem to notice.
I try to make a show for you, but you never care.
You say that'll you be there for me, but you never are."
"The distance between us is so close, so why do I feel so far away from you?
Oh the distance between us is so close, so why do I feel so far away from you?"
Clearing some bushes out of the way, he found out that the source of the music was actually a young girl, who looked them same age as himself, lying against a big oak tree and singing the song to herself as she strummed her guitar.
"You sing well."
The girl yelped, leaping into the air and giving Kenta a good look at her, she had long pink hair that reached her waist, which was pretty impressive considering that she was about 5'2. She had this cute childish face that paired well with her sea-green eyes that glistened with Kenta could only describe as 'childlike wonder'.
The girl wore a nearly oversized bright pink T-shirt under a more tight-fitting black jacket that had cat ears around the hood, as well as a black lacy skirt that was white at the bottom. To top it all off, she wore black boots with horizontally striped pink and white thigh highs.
"U-umm...can I help you?" She asked, a bit hesitantly. Kenta shrugged, "I was kinda of just walking around and I heard you singing. It sounds original, are you a song writer? Your appearance matches that of a performer."
"Eh? You don't know me?" The girl asked, a bit confused.
"No...? Am I supposed to?" He took a couple steps back, throwing his arms into a defensive position, since the situation could take a weird turn at this point.
"I'm Aria Yasane and I am a pop star, I think I've reached number 3 on the charts…"
Something in his mind clicked and the memories of all of Sasha's babbling surfaced. "OH! That's who you are! My friend has mentioned you a couple times...what are you doing here in the park all by your lonesome?" He asked.
"I just needed some alone time. Being a pop star gets very busy, and I never have time to myself." She sighed, but strumming her guitar a little bit.
"I guess that makes sense, but don't you popstars usually have a bunch of people around you and bodyguards and whatever at all time?" He inquired, to which she explained her 'brilliant escape plan'.
"You just snuck out? They're going to find you eventually. Hell they've probably already started looking." Kenta pointed out.
"Well yah...but by then I will have relaxed. Then all I have to do is bat my eyes a little and I will be home free." The girl giggled, her carefree attitude brought a small smile to the boy's face.
"Well have fun with that...I'm going to get going, stomach's starting to attack itself." Kenta waved as he walked away to do his own thing, or at least that's what he would have done if the idol hadn't placed a firm grasp on his shoulder.
"Umm...would you mind if I tagged along with you?" She asked shyly. The boy stared at her in confusion, "Why...?"
"W-well you've been treating normally me so far...so I thought I'd be safe with you..." The girl mumbled the last part under her breath, and Kenta nearly missed it.
"Sure, I guess..."
"Really?!"
"Yah, whatever. It's not like I'll go broke by spending a few extra bucks on you."
Aria smiled at the boy, "Lead the way, and don't worry about the paparazzi, I came prepared," the idol pulled out a blonde wig that was as long as her normal hair as well as a box with colored contacts.
"You really have to go to great lengths to fit in, don't you?"
"Sadly, yes." She declared as she tucked her pink hair under her wig and handed a small pocket mirror to the boy so she could put in her brown contacts. "Ok I'm good."
"Alright then...I'm in the mood for something sweet, would you like a crepe?"
"I've never tried them before, but there's a first time for everything. Lead the way...umm...what's your name?"
"Kenta, Kenta Ryuga."
"I'll have a choco-banana and...what do you want?" Kenta interrupted his order and gazed over to Aria. "I'll have a strawberry."
"Strawberry."
The woman wearing the "Cindy's Crepes'" tag on her uniformed smiled and nodded, "I'll have them ready in a little while, I'll make them extra special for you and your girlfriend."
"We're not-"
"Oh could you? That would make me the happiest girl in the world, although I already have the best boyfriend ever." Aria said cutely, dragging the confused child to an empty seat, melting the heart of the woman working the stand.
"What was that about?" Kenta asked.
"Acting...she's going to make our food tastier, and we made her happy. It's a win-win." Aria explained, smiling cheekily.
"I think you'd have to be pretty comfortable with someone to pull something like that off, even though we just met a little while ago." Kenta countered.
"Well I was nervous at first, but I can tell that you're a good guy, Kenta. You're the closest I've had to having a friend my age."
"Really?"
"Yah...it was always showbiz first, so I never had time to just relax and have fun. Anyone I spent time with was either my manager or co-workers. Usually never anyone my age, or a boy much less." She blushed a little bit at the last part.
"Well I've never been one to immerse myself with friends. It was usually just me and my dad as we moved around due to his job. We finally settled here and I've made only two friends. A girl named Sasha whom I've known for about 3 or 4 years and this other girl named Ashley, my…cousin."
"Oh, so you hang out with girls?" She giggled.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Oh...nothing~"
The two were so engaged in their simple chit chat that they almost didn't notice the food arriving, along with the smiling waitress from before.
"Go on, take a bite." Kenta encouraged her and took a bite off of his. Aria mimicked him and sunk her teeth into her food and as soon as it had made contact, a smile instantly graced itself upon the idol's face.
"Wow! This is really good! Why haven't I had this before?" She asked herself as she started eating faster.
"This little cafe is one of those locations that are really discreet but still widely enjoyed by the people who lived in the area. A hidden gem of sorts." Kenta explained, wiping a bit of chocolate off his lips.
"You really like using big words, don't you Kenta?" Aria giggled.
"It's a common quirk of mine. I don't always talk like that though." He said, taking another bite.
"Hey Kenta, can I have some of your crepe?" She asked. Shrugging, Kenta pushed the plate towards her, however that only earned a brief shake of her head. "Uh-uh...we're on a date, remember? You've got to do it right." She smiled.
"You're kidding..."
"I'm not kidding."
The boy sighed and took a small piece of his crepe and held it out for Aria to eat. She pouted slightly and took a bite from his fork. "You're no fun...have you ever even been on a date before?"
"What do you think?" He responded, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Here...I'll show you how to do it." She took a piece from her pastry and looked at her 'date'. "Say 'ahhh', Kenta."
"Do I have to?"
"Yes, you do."
The boy sighed in defeat, already knowing that he wouldn't win in an argument with her. "Ahh..."
She fed him the crepe and awaited his response. "How is it?"
"It's good..." He muttered.
"That's good to hear." She smiled. "That's how you do it."
He rolled his eyes and finished off his food. "I'll keep that in mind."
"So those friends you mentioned..."
"Yah, what about them?"
"Are they the girls behind you?"
Without even turning around, Kenta could already feel the doom linger over his shoulders.
"Oh no…"
"So Kenta…who's your friend…" Sasha asked, gritting her teeth at that word.
"She's-"
"Allow me to answer that question." Aria said, lifting her wig, revealing her one of a kind hair.
"OH MY GOD, YOU'RE AR-" Sasha nearly screamed out, before being cut off by Kenta's hand.
"It's probably best if the general public doesn't know that this girl is-"
"Miss Aria Yasane."
"Exactl-wait what?"
The four turned around to see two buff men in suits, standing in front of limousine.
"Miss Yasane, you must get ready for your concert." One of the men said.
"And you have a lot of explaining to do." The other said sternly.
"I'm sorry boys…I just needed some time to myself to think." The pop idol said sweetly, causing the two men to look at each other with a bit of an uneasy face. Their serious disposition had been dented by Aria's sweetness.
"Errrmm…it's excusable. But you still need to come back." One of the men explained.
"Okay then, just gave me a second." Aria said, turning back to Kenta and the gang.
"Here you go, front row tickets. I'd like it if you could come. And use these to get into the backstage before the concert starts." She handed the three of them bright pink tickets as well as three backstage passes, before hopping into the limousine.
Many hours passed and the three had showed up at the busy commotion that was the backstage of the concert hall where Aria was to be performing in 10 minutes.
"Where is she?" Kenta asked in an "I'm only doing this for a friend but it doesn't mean I like it" tone of voice. He adjusted his black T-shirt and stuck his hands in his blue baggy jeans.
"Kenta, this is big time pop idol Aria Yasane we're talking about here. Show some respect, would you?" Sasha asked with her condescending tone that the boy has grown to resent. She had worn a white tank top with the words "I love Aria" in red and black Capris.
"You're not my mom, Sasha." Kenta gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes.
Ashley was once again silently observing the interactions between Sasha and Kenta, she wore a red dress that went a little past her knees. The dress had a black hemming at the bottom, and yellow hemming around the neck hole. She had let her hair down, and it nearly touched the floor.
"I'm just saying, if she invited us, she should have told us where she would be."
"I'm right here, Kenta."
The boy stopped dead in his tracks, slowly turning his head to see the bubbly pink idol girl with her hands on her hips, giving him a sarcastic glare that still seemed friendly…weird.
"Thanks for making it guys, I really appreciate it." Aria smiled.
Sasha and Ashley smiled brightly, while Kenta simply shrugged.
"We'll be in the front row, cheering you on." Sasha said in an encouraging tone as she grabbed Ashley's hand and dashed off to their seats.
"Your friends are quite the excitable bunch." Aria chuckled awkwardly.
"I've known Sasha for quite a while, she has her quirks, but she's a loyal friend." Kenta shrugged.
"She's just a friend?" Aria inquired.
"Yeah…why?" Kenta asked.
"Oh, so she doesn't get upset if I do…" She leaned in and pecked his lips.
"…this." The idol winked as she skipped onto the stage, before pausing and looking at Kenta, blushing heavily.
"So…that just happened." The boy whispered, slowly making his way to his seat.
"Kenta, what took you so long?" Sasha asked.
"Nothing, I was just looking at the scenery and how things work backstage." Kenta lied, not even sure why he should he make up some random excuse.
"Well shush…it's starting right now."
The idol all dressed up with a pink and white filly dress that went a little past her knees with some white leggings.
She grabbed the mic and begun to sing,
"The distance between us is so close, so why do I feel so far away from you?
I catch a peek a look at you every day, but you never seem to notice.
I try to make a show for you, but you never care.
You say that'll you be there for me, but you never are.
The distance between us is so close, so why do I feel so far away from you?
Oh the distance between us is so close, so why do I feel so far away from you?
The distance between us is so close, so why do I feel so far away from you?
You tell me that you care, but I don't see it.
You say things are different now, but it seems the same.
I smile with love, you smile for show."
The music picked up in tempo as Aria started to sway her hips back and forth.
"The distance between us is so close, so why do I feel so far away from you?
Oh the distance between us is so close, so why do I feel so far away from you?
The distance between us is so close, so why do I feel so far away from you?
Maybe I'll fine someone new, someone better while you're not looking.
Someone who will see me for me, and not just your little doll.
Kenta swore she was looking at him.
The distance between us is so close, so why do I feel so far away from you?
Oh the distance between us is so close, so why do I feel so far away from you?
The distance between us is so close, so why do I feel so far away from you?
The song continued on and she just continued to dance to it, swaying her hips, whipping her hair, just plain enjoying herself. The crowd was eating it up, jumping and cheering their lungs out.
It was almost chaos, yet one thing was stuck in Kenta's mind
This won't be the last time I see this girl…I have a feeling that it won't.
AFTER FOREVER I AM ACTUALY DONE.
I AM SO SORRY ABOUT THIS.
Highschool has been a really bitch, and I tend to get really wrapped up in talking with my Princess (don't worry about that, it's none of your concern).
Sorry again guys, hope you're having a great winter break. I'll see you guys whenever I get time.
