-ZeroTopia-
Holy Country, AWA Academy
It was a nice day in the Holy Country of ZeroTopia where we head towards the AWA Academy and inside the Dimensional Gateway Lobby, we see Gob, Mirajane Strauss and the Guild Girl having a conversation at a large receptionist's desk.
"At one point, they had me figure out how to get a banana out of a puzzle box." the Guild Girl shared with a look of disbelief.
Gob then perked up, "Wait, Shinozaki gave me a banana in a box." he said, "He was testing me, too!" he exclaimed in shock.
Guild Girl sighed in disbelief, "Unbelievable." she uttered.
"And how could a chimp even solve that?" Gob complained, "That was impossible." he stated.
"Really?" Mirajane uttered in surprise, "You couldn't get it out?" she asked.
Gob shook his head, "Anyway..." he swerved, "Okay, uh, how do I put this?" he thought to himself, "Um, are you familiar with Darwin's observation of the finches in the Galapagos Islands?" he asked.
"Did they make a movie about it?" Mirajane questioned.
"No." Gob replied.
"Then no." the Guild Girl answered.
As this is going on, one dimension gate began to glow brightly when Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower and two more figures steps out from the portal.
The first figure is a female anthropomorphic hedgehog with thin frame and a short tail, she had a pink fur and a peach skin covering her muzzle and arms. She had green-colored eyes and a black nose, and she had pink hair styled in a bobcut held by a cerise-colored headband with three spikes for bangs on her head and she had a pair of triangular-shaped ear on top of her head. She wears a cerise minidress with a white collar, yellow buttons on the her left side, and a lavender sarashi around her waist. She also wears white gloves, purple sports tape and golden ring bracelets around her wrists, purple stockings, and dark-pink shoes with light pink soles and toes, gray straps and pink plates with two yellow buttons on top. This is Amy Rose.
The second figure is male anthropomorphic echidna with red fur that covers most of his body, peach skin on his muzzle, a white crescent-shaped patch of fur on his chest and he had purple-colored eyes. He had a rather large torso, broad shoulders and thick muscular arms, and possesses long & thin legs. He had a seven long dreadlock-like spines around the sides and back of his head, and a medium-sized tri-crooked tail. He wears a pair of red and yellow shoes with wrap-like markings that have green cuffs and gray metal plates on top. He also wears gloves with knuckle-spikes on them and has white sports tape wrapped around his hands, the lower half of his arms and legs, and his biceps. This is Knuckles the Echidna.
"Ah~" Amu uttered in relief, "It's so good to be back here after spending several days in that frozen hell." she grumbled.
"It was like a snowy nightmare from which there was no awakening." Knuckles described.
Tails raised an eyebrow, "I don't know what mission you guys were on but I thought it was a hoot and a half." he stated.
"What matters that we're back." Sonic said, "The mission is over, we saved the day and we kicked Eggman's butt." he listed off with a grin.
Knuckles chuckled, "Yeah~" he uttered in agreement, "That was satisfying." he admitted.
"Though... I still believe that the Eggman we fought is not the Eggman we know." Tails pointed out.
Amy nodded in agreement, "Yeah... the Eggman we fought is a lot slimmer and he looks like Jim Carrey for some reason." she described.
"We can figure that out later." Sonic beckoned before turning to Gob, the Guild Girl and Mirajane, "We're back!" the blue hedgehog announced.
"Welcome back." Mirajane greeted with a smile.
"How was your mission?" the Guild Girl asked.
"It went well." Sonic answered, "Quite troublesome due to a certain 'Eggman' getting in the way but we made it through the end." he explained, "So... anything interesting events for today?" he asked.
"There's a party being held in the large ass dance hall in the orange building." Gob answered, "There are foods, drinks, games..." he listed off, "... the party will also feature several musical acts as well." he added.
"Nice way to use a dance hall that size." Tails commented.
"Should we join the party, Sonic?" Amy asked.
Sonic nodded, "Sure." he answered with a smile, "Let's hand the results of our mission first to the higher-ups and after that we'll head towards the dance hall." he stated.
Knuckles then turns to Gob, the Guild Girl and Mirajane, "What about you three?" the echidna called out, "Aren't you going to the party?" he asked.
"We'll join the party once our shifts are done." Mirajane answered.
"Though... Mirajane and I will be leaving first." the Guild Girl said with a teasing grin.
"Unfair." Gob grumbled in annoyance while drumming his fingers on the counter.
-BREAK-
The scene then changes inside the stadium-sized dance hall inside the orange building... and it's currently turned into an amusement park. Aside from the numerous food stalls and small attraction booths, the party also features large rides such a Ferris Wheel, a Carousel, a Haunted House and a Roller Coaster.
Just how big is the dance hall that it's able to host such gigantic attractions?
Anyway... the dance hall is currently filled with many students and staff members, and all of them are having a good time.
We see Mato Kuroi, Yuu Koutari, Kagari Izuriha and Yomi Takanashi having a good time in one table at a veranda of a cardboard-built cafe when Rook Blonko and Chloe Valens joined them and at another table right next to them, we see Cynthia, Kjelle, Brady and Morgan drinking warm beverages while having a conversation at the same time.
Inside the cardboard-built cafe, and as the name suggest, the place is made of cardboard but it was neatly made, so everyone likes it. Inside we see Alex Louis Armstrong, Ginko the Mushi Master, Maes Hughes, Refill Sage and Yoruichi Shihouin having a drink at one table and at another table right next to them, we see Ai Roborovskii, Inori Yuzuriha, Maka Albarn and Soul Eater Evans having a conversation when Ram arrives with their drinks.
Meanwhile we see Rem heading towards another table where we see Subaru Natsuki, Emilia, Genius Sage and Presea Combatir having a conversation when Rem arrives with their orders, much to their delight.
At the counter, we see Chifuyu Himeki, Hatoko Kushikawa, Jurai Andou, Sayumi Takanashi and Tomoyo Kanzaki taking their orders from Chelsea while Herbert East and Ricky waits for their turn.
Back outside the veranda of the cardboard-built cafe, we see Taiga Aisaka, alongside Hitomi Shizuki and Sayaka Miki, gathered at one table with the palm-top tiger looking around rather impatiently.
"Those two sure are taking their sweet time." Taiga grumbled in annoyance.
"Calm down, Taiga-san." Hitomi advised, "I'm pretty sure that they'll be here soon enough." she said.
Sayaka crossed her arms, "Maybe they went on a date behind your back, Taiga." she joked with a grin.
Taiga responded by crushing the cup in her hand which spilled it's contents on the table while glaring at the bluehead, "Say that again and I will crush that tiny little head of yours'?!" she threatened with a growl.
"EEEEKK!" Sayaka shrieked in fright, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" she apologized frantically.
Hitomi sighed, "Mou, Sayaka-chan, you shouldn't joked something like that." she scolded.
"Seriously, Sayaka..." Taiga uttered, "... you do realize that I'm dating one of them, so I don't really appreciate jokes like that." she reminded, "What if I say that I'm dating your boyfriend behind your back? How would you feel?" she asked and Sayaka responded by staring at her with deep-hollowed eyes with an eerie music playing in the background, "S-Sorry..." the palm-top tiger apologized nervously, "Forget I even said that..." she beckoned.
"Feels like a lot of girls had been influenced by Yoshika-chan's sudden yandere trait lately." Hitomi commented
"TAIGA!" a voice called out.
The three girls then turned around to see two individuals, a girl and a boy, walking towards their table.
The girl had a slim frame and an average height, she had a shoulder-length amaranth pink hair and she had purple-colored eyes. She wears a red uniform jacket over a white-collared shirt with a black ribbon lace, she wears a dark-blue miniskirt, dark-blue socks and brown loafers. This is Minori Kushieda.
The boy had an average height, he had a short blue hair and he had a sanpaku-shaped blue-colored eyes. He wears a black buttoned uniform jacket over a red t-shirt, black pants and black leather shoes. This is Ryuuji Takasu.
"You're late!" Taiga exclaimed.
Ryuuji rubs the back of his head, "Sorry about that Taiga." he apologized, "Kushieda-san got distracted with the various booths on the way and she can't help but try them all one by one." he explained.
"She tried all of them one by one?!" Hitomi exclaimed in disbelief.
Minori crossed her arms, "Kuh-kuh..." she chuckled triumphantly, "I'm not one to pass a challenge." she said, "Those games were crying to be played, so I decided to fulfill its wishes." she stated.
"I don't know how to respond with that." Sayaka admitted.
Taiga sighed in response, "I guess I can't really fault Minorin if she's like that." she conceded, "Well then sit down while Hitomi and I order for our drinks." she beckoned.
"Oh! I'll buy our drinks!" Minori volunteered.
"Are you sure about this, Minori-san?" Hitomi asked.
Minori nodded, "Yeah." she confirmed, "Think of it as an apology for making you all wait." she said before running off, "Be back soon!" she mused.
Everyone watches Minori enters the cafe when Taiga turns to Ryuuji, "What are you doing here standing there and looking all stupid?" she asked, "Sit down." she beckoned on her boyfriend.
"O-Okay." Ryuuji complied.
Ryuuji was about to take a seat when suddenly another girl arrives and wrapped her arms around Ryuuji's left arm.
The girl had a slim frame and a relatively large bust, she had a long straight blue hair and she had wide violet-colored eyes. She wears a red uniform jacket over a white-collared shirt with a black ribbon lace, she wears a dark-blue miniskirt, dark-blue socks and brown loafers. This is Ami Kawashima.
"Hi~" Ami greeted with a flirty smile, "May I join you guys?" she asked with a wink.
"K-Kawashima-san?!" Ryuuji squawked in shock.
Taiga flustered upon seeing Ami getting close to Ryuuji, "Hold on!" the palm-top tiger shouted, "What the hell are you doing to my boyfriend, you Bakachi?!" she demanded.
Ami placed a hand on her mouth, "Fufufu~" she chuckled, "It's just a friendly gesture." she said, "There's nothing wrong with that." she reasoned.
"Friendly gestures doesn't involved rubbing your tits around someone's arms." Sayaka pointed out.
"Words, Sayaka, words." Hitomi uttered.
Taiga then stood up from her seat, "Anyway! Let go of Ryuuji before I beat the living daylights out of you!" she demanded.
"Fufufu~" Ami chuckled in response, "I'd like to see you try." she replied.
Taiga and Ami then stares at each other rather intensely with accompanying sparks while Ryuuki, Sayaka and Hitomi looks at them in disbelief.
"Hey boyfriend, do something about this?" Sayaka uttered with a blank look.
"I don't even know how to start." Ryuuji replied.
"Ara, ara..." Hitomi uttered.
The scene then changes to a makeshift stage in the middle of the dance hall and is currently surrounded by a large crowd which includes Hinata Hyuuga, Lucia Nanami, Gon Freecss, Killua Zoldyck, Kurapika, Neon Nostrade, Ranma Saotome, Tatsumi Oga & Baby Bel, Touma Kamijou, Yuusuke Urameshi, Kazuma Kuwabara, Yukiteru Amano, Yuno Gasai, Frankie Stein, Draculaura, Ghoulia Yelps, Lily Hoshikawa, Saki Nikaidou, Yuugiri, Pacifica Casull, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, Dan Gotanda, Hikari Minowa, Nako Ebihara, Niko Nishina, Mirio Toogata, Nejire Hadou, Tamaki Amajiki, Ageha Yoshina, Elsa "Pitohui" Kanzaki, Karen "Llenn" Kohiruimaki, Kirika Yuumura and Mireille Bouquet.
And currently on stage, we see Snips and Snails doing a rap performance... and they're performing horribly as usual.
"Aw, yeah! Snips and Snails in da house yo!" Snails announced.
"They call me MC Snips and that ain't no lie!'' Snips rapped, "My favorite food is pumpkin pie!" he added.
"And here is Snails! And I like whales!" Snails rapped, "When I go to the beach, I always bring my pails!" he added
As the two continued to rap, everyone watches them in utter confusion and bewilderment with Tatsumi, Ranma and Touma clearly annoyed with their rapping, Yuno is doing her best in stopping herself from killing the two, Kazuma records the boy's performances with his tablet while Yuusuke and Mirio are struggling not to laugh.
"What the fuck am I even watching?" Pitohui questioned in disbelief.
"Everybody knows my favorite color is orange!" Snips rapped while jumping over the edge of the stage, "My rhymes are so fly, you better... uh... um..." he paused while trying to find the right words to say.
"Than an orange yo!" Snails rapped.
"Yeah!" Snips shouted.
"Yeah!" Snails yelled.
"Represent!" Snails added.
And during their performance, everyone noticed a long hook creeping its way towards the boys and without a second later, the hook caught both Snips and Snails before pulling both of them off stage, much to everyone's relief.
"Who thought it was a good idea to have those two perform?" Sakura questioned.
"Must've been an oversight within the staff." Sasuke assumed.
As this is going on, we see Honoka Kousaka, Kotori Minami, Umi Sonoda, Eli Ayase and two more girls joining the crowd around the stage.
The first girl had a slim frame, she had a red hazelnut short hair with some of her hair reaching her neck and she had teal-blue eyes. She wears a dark-blue track jacket over a white shirt, yellow mini-skirt, white socks and red & white rubber shoes. This is Yukiho Kousaka, the younger sister of Honoka.
The second girl is shorter than Yukiho. She had a shoulder-length light-blonde hair and she had blue-colored eyes. She wears a light-pink buttoned blouse, a red high-waist mini-skirt with dots and a ribbon tied in the midst section, white socks and white lady's shoes. This Arisa Ayase, the younger sister of Eli.
Honoka sighed in relief, "Looks like we made it." she said.
"But it seems like the program already started." Umi pointed out.
"Excuse me?" Eli called which got Mireille's attention, "How many performers had been on stage?" she asked.
"So far, it's only Snips and Snails." Mireille answered, "We still don't whose going to perform next." she stated.
Honoka sighed in relief, "Good thing that Tadakuni-kun's band haven't performed yet." she said.
Yukiho crosses her arms, "You've been singing praises with this Tadakuni guy." she pointed out, "Who is this bloke anyway?" she asked.
"Tadakuni is a rising hero here in the AWA and is currently the lead singer of the band called The Daily Lives of High School Boys." Kotori answered.
"Khorosho." Arisa uttered in awe.
Kotori then leans down in front of Yukiho and Arisa, "And Honoka-chan had a crush on Tadakuni-san." the bird-themed idol whispered.
"Khorosho!" Arisa exclaimed in awe.
"A-Are you serious?!" Yukiho squawked in disbelief.
Umi sighed, "I still don't understand how Honoka got attracted to that guy." she admitted.
Eli chuckled, "I think it's something that only Honoka knows." she said.
As this is going on, we see Araya appearing on stage with a microphone in her right hand and her left hand is clenched tightly while dripping in blood.
"Sorry for the wait everyone..." Araya apologized with a smile, "... we managed to patch some things, so the show will continue on without a hitch." she stated.
"What the hell did you do to Snips and Snails?" everyone thought in disbelief and dread.
"And without further ado, let's call on our next performers!" Araya beckoned, "Please welcome The Daily Lives of High School Boys band!" she introduced with the crowd cheering in response.
"Alright!" Honoka cheered.
And with that, Araya left the stage while Tadakuni, Hidenori Tabata, Yoshitake Tanaka, Mitsuo, Motoharu the Delinquent and Toshiyuki Karasawa got on stage. Hidenori & Toshiyuki had guitars in hand, Yoshitake held a bass guitar, Motoharu went to the drums, Mitsuo holds a tambourine and Tadakuni stood in front of the mic stand.
And with the exception of Tadakuni and Toshiyuki, the rest of the boys are sporting band-aids and pain relievers after suffering a rather painful hornet attack from their previous mission.
"Hey, we're The Daily Lives of High School Boys and I do hope that you all enjoy our performance." Tadakuni said with a smile.
"Can your greeting get any more normal?!" Hidenori and Yoshitake thought in disbelief.
And with that, the boys began to play their instruments as Tadakuni started to sing:
Tonight is the one thing left
And I haven't said it yet, I'm falling
And the writings on the wall
Today was misery
And I just can't believe this happened
And I finally broke down
She held onto my heart
But now my only star is falling
Its burning to the ground
Now I'm crying out
Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
You're all I've got right now
No one else figures out this feeling
And how lonely it can get
These words can cut right through
Cause all along I've knew you're sorry
But you haven't said it yet
But I won't forget
Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Please take me anywhere but here
When we're together
Thoughts of her disappear
If I fell to pieces
You'd heal this pain I feel
Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
After their performance, the crowd let's out a cheer with the band bowing their heads in appreciation.
Yukiho crosses her arms, "Huh? I must say that they're good." she admitted.
"Tadakuni-san seems to be having fun." Arisa commented, "But why are the rest looks so miserable?" she asked in concern.
Umi sighed, "Its a long story." she replied, "Though I had to question Mitsuo-san's inclusion in the band." she said, "Playing the tambourine is good and all but I don't think it really fits the genre of the song." she pointed out.
"Maybe it's because Mitsuo-san can't play any other instrument and they couldn't kick him out of the band, so they kept him and let him play the tambourine regardless of what song they use in their performance." Eli assumed.
"I think so too." Kotori said in agreement.
"That was a good song." Honoka complimented.
"Yeah." a voice said in agreement, "But I kinda wish that he sings a song that is directed at me." they said.
Honoka flinched upon recognizing the voice beside her, she narrowed her eyes in suspicion before turning around to see a girl standing next to her with a smug grin on her face.
The girl had a fair skin tone and a slim frame, she had a magenta medium-length hair and she had magenta-colored eyes. She wears a full-sleeve length comet blue top with an egg pattern on the chest over her aqua collar shirt with a magenta red skirt. This is Chitose Karasuma.
"Chitose..." Honoka uttered in disdain.
"Honoka..." Chitose uttered back.
"You do realize that filthy animals are not welcome here." Honoka hissed.
"Oh? So you're saying that you belong here?" Chitose mocked.
"Because I'm a lovely animal unlike you." Honoka argued.
"Try saying that again on my face!" Chitose challenged.
As Honoka and Chitose pressed their foreheads while glaring at each other, the rest watches them in disbelief and amusement.
"Who is that?" Yukiho asked.
"That's Chitose Karasuma." Umi answered.
"And she also had a crush on Tadakuni." Eli added.
"Huh? So she already had a rival." Yukiho said.
"Actually... Honoka-chan had many rivals." Kotori pointed out with a smile.
"Eh?" Yukiho squawked in shock before looking at Tadakuni whom is about to leave the stage, "That guy is popular?" she questioned.
Umi sighed, "I've been asking the same question ever since." she replied.
As this is going on, we see Chizuru Tachibana, Fluttershy Breeze, Adagio Dazzle, Raki Kiseki, Karen Kamishiro, Hime Shiratori, Kirara Hanazono, Yuzu Nikaidou, Hibiki Tenshou, Kii Saegusa and Elza Forte joining the crowd.
"So, what are we doing here?" Chizuru asked, "Are you girls going to perform here?" he assumed.
Karen shook her head, "Nope." she answered, "But our friends are." she said.
"It's actually a surprise for you - kyaha!" Raki said with a smile.
Chizuru raised an eyebrow, "A surprise?" he uttered.
As Tadakuni and the boys left stage, Araya came back with a smile on her face, which kinda creep out the crowd.
"That was The Daily Lives of High School Boys!" Araya cheered, "Glad that you enjoyed their performance." she expressed, "Moving on..." she uttered, "... the next performance is actually a debut performance." she revealed.
"Someone new is performing?" Neon uttered in surprise.
"This is gonna be interesting." Kurapika admitted.
"Indeed they're new but they are personally trained and produced by Koutarou Tatsumi himself." Araya shared.
On cue, Koutarou Tatsumi made his presence known at the side of the stage, waving a hand to the crowd before leaving quickly.
"So, he had others idols that he produced aside from us." Saki uttered.
"And without further ado, let's call on our next performers!" Araya beckoned, "Please welcome the Courage Design!" she introduced with the crowd cheering in response.
On cue, Yoshika Miyafuji, Tsukuyomi, Sour Sweet and Masaki Satou appears on stage while wearing matching outfits. All four of them are wearing white-colored cropped-buttoned jacket with blue cuffs and a red ribbon tie over a black turtleneck, white & pink miniskirt over a black & white striped stocking and white & pink high-collared shoes with star-spangled designs.
Chizuru's eyes widen in awe but at the same time, he is confused, "W-W-What is going on?" he questioned.
"This is a surprise for you from Yoshika and the girls - kyaha!" Raki answered with a smile.
"The girls had been meaning to enter the music scene like the rest of us, so they can expressed their feelings to you in a form of a song." Karen explained.
"I-I see..." Chizuru uttered.
And with that, Yoshika and the girls started their performance:

After their performance, the crowd let's out a cheer with Yoshika and the girls bowing their heads in appreciation.
"Sugoi! Their performance are so kyaha!" Raki cheered.
Elza claps her hands softly, "Quite a mesmerizing performance for a bunch of rookies." she complimented.
"Kinda odd that they sang such a song when they happened to be the most temperamental from our group." Kirara commented.
Fluttershy chuckled, "Well... it is surprising but I love it nonetheless." she admitted.
Hime then turns to Chizuru, "So, how was their performance, Chizuru?" the blonde asked.
Chizuru had his mouth wide open and his eyes wide in shock, "They're..." he whispered, "... so beautiful..." he uttered before falling backwards but Kii and Yuzu caught him while the rest panicked in response.
Back on stage, Yoshika and the girls noticed Chizuru fainting while the rest are comically trying to get him back to life.
Sour facefaulted, "Ugh! We pour our hearts out from that performance and he responded by fainting." she grumbled in disbelief.
"Maybe he fainted because of our wonderful performance." Tsukuyomi declared with a smile.
"Are you freaking serious?" Masaki questioned.
Yoshika chuckled, "Well... I prefer that kind of response rather than getting no response at all." she admitted.
Meanwhile at the side of the stage, we see Koutarou and Araya observing the four girls after their performance.
"I see great things with these girls." Koutarou claimed.
"I see these girls getting the Franchouchou treatment." Araya commented, "And I don't mean their success." she clarified.
"Blasphemy!" Koutarou shouted.
The scene then transitions into another cardboard-built cafe and its currently filled with many people like how a VRChat room is crowded by numerous avatars.
Inside the cardboard-built cafe, we see Nagisa Shirai talking to Komatsu and Mine behind the counters when Lilith Bristol, Julie Sigtuna, Luluco, Sega Saturn and Carl Fredricksen arrives in front of the counter to order some drinks which Nagisa quickly complied.
At one table, we see Bols, Demoura Zodd and Hidan having some drinks when Damascus and Deidara joined them and at a table right next to them, we see Colette Brunel & Lloyd Irving and Asbel Lhant & Cheria Barnes having a double date when Iroha arrives with their orders.
In one corner, we see Zatouji having a conversation with Cassandra Murata and Arina Makihara while at a two-seater table, we see Bronislava Safonov and Huberta von Bonin having some tea when Ezio Auditore da Firenze arrives to ask them some questions.
In front of the doorway, we see Akane Isshiki having a conversation with Rei Kuroki and Greed when the homunculus opened the door, so Haruhi Fujioka and Haruka Kanade can enter, much to their gratitude.
Meanwhile at the veranda outside the cardboard-built cafe, we see Antonio, Carlos and Jobim playing poker at one table.
"This again?" Antonio complained, "Goddamn, son of a bitch!" he cursed, "Taking my money like that you cheating dogs!" he accused, "Why the only reason you can even eat here is cause of what I've done!" he claimed, "I busted my tail to plant those crops along with my good buddies!" he declared.
"We're the buddies you're talking about." Carlos pointed out.
"Yes sir that we are." Jobim spoke, "We planted those seeds like no tomorrow." he stated.
"You were always planting seeds of a different kind though." Carlos reminded.
Meanwhile at another table right next to the three old men, we see Franky alongside two figures having a game of Stud Poker, with several gadgets and a number of drinks scattered across their table.
The first figure is a male dark anthropomorphic hedgehog with red stripes on his quills, around the edges of his eyes and on his arms & legs. He had red-colored eyes with a patch of white fur on his chest and he had a tan-colored muzzle. He had six quills on his head, four of which are curve upwards & two that curve downwards and he had two spines on his back and he had a small tail. He wears white gloves with black cuffs and red tongues, and a pair of Air Shoes which have black cuffs and red tongues. On each of his wrists and ankles he wears a single gold ring. This is Shadow the Hedgehog.
The second figure is a large male anthropomorphic crocodile with a green-skin tone and he had small red scales down his tail. He sports a thick body; his stomach, as well as arms, are light green-colored and his eyes, as well as the scales down his back, are vermilion-colored. He had a small black shoulders. He wears white gloves with black-and-white cuffs and shoes embellished with gold buckles and a large gold chain around his neck. His wireless headphones are black and are somewhat chunky in design. This is Vector the Crocodile.
"You do understand that our efforts here will in no way increase the odds of you having sexual congress with that woman?" Shadow pointed out.
"Men do things for women without expecting sex." Vector replied.
"Yeah, those are men who just had sex." Franky said.
"I'm doing this to be a good neighbor." Vector claimed, "In any case, there's no way it could lower the odds." he stated.
"I doubt that." Shadow uttered when his tablet made a buzzing noise. He then proceeds to grab the tablet and checks a certain message, "Huh..." he muttered in amusement.
"What's up?" Franky asked.
"I just got a message that I'm taking part of a mission tomorrow." Shadow answered, "I'll be taking my leave once this game is over." he said.
"Just don't bring any guns." Vector advised, "They don't suit you." he reasoned.
Shadow scoffed, "They sure don't." he uttered in agreement.
Franky then tossed his cards in front of everyone, "I win!" he cheered.
"Son of a bitch!" Vector cursed.
And that it's for this chapter and I hope that you all enjoy it. The songs used in this chapter are titled Anywhere But Here by Mayday Parade and Kiseki by Whiteeeen, and I still don't know the title of Snip and Snail's rap song because it wasn't even released as a single.
These are the characters that debuted in this chapter:
Amy Rose, Knuckles the Echidna, Shadow the Hedgehog and Vector the Crocodile are from the Sonic franchise
Minori Kushieda, Ryuuji Takasu and Ami Kawashima are from Toradora!
Yukiho Kousaka and Arisa Ayase are from Love Live! School Idol Project
Chitose Karasuma from Gi(a)rlish Number
Anyway... I'm going to do a new chapter of All Worlds Alliance Chronicles - Assorted Stories because it's been months since I last uploaded a new chapter there, so please look forward for it.
Until then paalam!
At one table inside the cardboard-built cafe, we see Shinozaki Shinozaki and Youhei Sunohara having a conversation with the latter looking around nervously.
"Oh, who am I kidding?" Youhei conceded, "I can't go through with this, you need to call her and cancel." he beckoned.
Shinozaki raised an eyebrow, "Me?" he questioned.
"Yes." Youhei confirmed.
"What should I tell her?" Shinozaki asked.
"I don't know." Youhei replied, "Tell her, I'm sick." he suggested.
Shinozaki nodded, "Okay." he complied.
"Not the kind of illness that will make her want to come over and take care of me, but nothing so critical that she'll feel uncomfortable going out with me in the future if I want to try this again." Youhei clarified.
Shinozaki nodded, "Got it." he said, "So I'm assuming nothing venereal, I'll just tell her that you had a routine colonoscopy and haven't quite bounced back." he explained.
Youhei can only stare at him in utter horror.
