Tom; so, the festival starts by 7 this evening right?
Jake; that's right. So we can sit back and relax for another 6 hours.
Jerry; anyway, since the ball starts by 7:30 we still have time to get ready anyway, now 1st and foremost, which should we watch; my hero academia or jojo?
[btw; both popular anime I recommend]
Tom; let's just do both.
Jake; then let's play teken.
Jerry; I like the way you think let's go!
Several hours later…
Jake; alright, one more round.
Jerry; alright, you're on.
Tom; guys, you do know it's 7:20, right?
Jerry; yeah, of course anyway, Jake ready to…
Wait, what! 7:20!
Jake; oh, SHIT! I need to dress up.
Tom; also, there are a bunch of shrine maidens here to escort you to the building. Apparently, they've been here for the past 20 minutes!
Then Jerry rushed down in his yukata while Jake followed shortly.
Jerry to the maidens; I'm so sorry we made you wait so long please forgive us.
Tom; don't worry, there over that.
Jake; seriously?
Tom; yeah turns out, they think I'm cute.
Jerry and Jake; 😑.
So then the boys were escorted by the maidens to the ball room on the 1st floor was where the ball was to be held.
Upon arrival…
Jerry and Jake; WOW! This place is AWESOME!
Lara; look who finally showed up.
Jake; Lara, you're here to?
Lara; what kind of question is that? I'm the frikin head of…
Jerry; don't answer him, also it looks like there are a lot of important people here.
Lara; only the most powerful in the world. The summer ball is also secretly a gathering of the world's most powerful people to come together to commune on neutral grounds, whether business rivals or bitter enemies everyone is equally treated here, in fact, it was through this event that ga-den gained international respect after making our presence known to the world. From Mafioso to presidents and CEO's. However, there are only two rules that are kept during this event, no weapons and no more than five bodyguards. Not even the president of the US can break it.
Tom; speaking of which, isn't that him over there?
Lara; no, that's the king of England. The president is over there with Lisa.
Jerry; wow, I feel so underdressed.
Lara; don't sweat it. Wearing that just shows that you're one of us, so take pride in it.
Nino who just spotted Jake; Jake!
Jake; Nino!
SLAP!
Nino; that's for not picking my calls. Now come on, let's go.
Jake; alright, guys guess I'm off.
Tom; see ya.
Lara; oh, dang! Looks like it's about to start.
Uzumaki; Welcome esteemed guests to the annual summer festival and ball.
Applause…
For centuries our clan has stood above every other in the world. But only decades ago did the former clan head Aoi da-gen came up with the marvellous idea to share our clan's happiness with the rest of the world. And after years of gathering allies and making peace from nation to nation, here we are now. My name is Uzumaki da-gen, the 1st pillar of the da-gen clan, and besides me is princess Lisa da-gen, the heir to our clan and once again, I welcome you here tonight have a wonderful experience.
Applause…
Jerry; well, looks like the music has started, is anyone going to… and everyone's gone. *I should probably get a drink and go outside for some sight-seeing. *
Meanwhile…
Jake; oh, the music has started, shall we dance?
Nino; it's about time.
As they were dancing…
Nino; *Perfect! You have no idea how long I've waited for this Jacob Tomodachi, son of Koenji Tomodachi. I've admired you for years online since the moment I 1st saw you in Shibuya. From that moment I've stalked you online till I found out you were here, I had to make sure that you would be the one to dance with me tonight, so I bumped into you on purpose. I can't stand the thought of you with another woman, it would drive me insane, I want you so bad the thought of you with someone else would drive me insane! I feel like I would kill any woman that looks at you for more than a second. You're mine! Mine! Mine!!!*
[btw; she said all of this with a calm unsuspecting smile. Wow, she's good and insane!]
Jake; wow, you're really good at dancing.
Nino; well, I practice.
Jake; that's neat anyway, let me go get a drink for the two of us.
So when Jake went to get the drink, he ran into a girl and they talked for a minute while Nino stood and watched.
Jake; here I brought you this.
Nino; wait, who was that?
Jake; oh, nobody it was nothing.
Nino; alright…
Meanwhile…
Jerry, who was sitting on the balcony the whole time; man, this is so lame. And here I was…
Lisa; thinking that I'd have some fun.
Jerry; Lisa! What's going on?
Lisa; Just thinking the same thing. This is incredibly boring.
Jerry; *sigh. Anyway, what was that thing with the US president?
Lisa; he just bragged on and on about how good this event was, about himself, and about anything else he could brag about.
Jerry; sounds like it sucked.
Lisa; you don't know the half of it. Anyway, since the fireworks are gona start in a few minutes, do you mind watching them with me.
Jerry; sure, anyway why aren't you dancing?
Lisa; turns out, female heirs and rulers can only dance with their spouse/fiancé.
Jerry; ugh… anyway I got this new manga on my phone, wana read it with me before the fireworks start?
Lisa; sure, I've never actually read one before so…
Jerry; figures, just get here.
A few minutes later…
Lisa; Wow! This is really good! What's it called?
Jerry; monster8.
Lara; alright anyway, I think…
*BOOM!
Jerry; oh, it started.
Lisa; it's beautiful.
[btw Jerry and Lisa were sitting shoulder to shoulder]
Jerry; yeah, I wish we could do this every year.
Lisa; the same. Anyway it's getting a little late so I should go back.
Jerry; alright, but, I need to tell you something 1st, I was the reason Darui is in the hospital right now. He was trying to attack me and…
Lisa; Wait, so you're the one who put him there?
Jerry; yes, I did and…
Lisa; You're a life saver!
Suddenly, Lisa rushed to hug Jerry.
Lisa; you have no idea how long he has been a pain to me.
Jerry; If I did, I would have beaten him 10 times worse.
Lisa; thank you.
Jerry; it was nothing.
About 2 hours later…
Jerry, sitting at a bar; *I should probably ask Jake about his date tomorrow*
The guy sitting next to him; hay, you wouldn't happen to be the missing piece would you?
Jerry; and if I am?
?; it's just that I'm a huge fan of you, or you could say I'm a fan of what's inside you.
Jerry; very interesting, guess no matter where I go I'll always people after me.
Alright let's get this over with.
?; oh, no, no. I'm not here to fight. I'm here to watch you tremble.
Jerry; really, go ahead, I haven't been spooked in two years, even by my own death.
?; oh, such confidence. However, you only think that because there are things about yourself even you don't know.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman bleeding came through the door shouting, "Jeremy"!
Jerry, with a shocked look on his face; Mother?
Erica; Jeremy, I'm dying, please.
Jerry; mother, what happened where've you been this whole time?
Erica; it doesn't matter; all I want to see was my sweet boy before I go.
Jerry; don't say that! Let me see if I can… Wait, my power isn't working!
Erica; I don't have much time Jerry you've always been my little biscuit…
Jerry; mother, mother, MOTHER!
This isn't real!
Suddenly Jerry turned back and what he saw, was his own grave.
Jerry; what the…
Jake, staring at Jerry in disbelief; Jerry! is it really you? Am I dreaming?
Jerry; of course it me! What the hell is going on!
Jake; That's not possible, I saw you die trying to save Lisa, not that it mattered anyway.
Jerry; What do you mean!
Jake; not long after you died, Lisa fell into depression and later committed suicide.
Jerry, shocked in horror; NO!
Jake; not long after, Tom tried to avenge you by hunting down the man responsible, but he failed, badly.
Jerry; where is he…
Before Jerry could finish his sentence, Jake pointed at a tombstone not far from his own, in front of it, was a broken sword.
Jerry; no, no, NO!
This can't be real! You're just making me see things!
?; it doesn't matter if it's real or not. Deep inside you know all of this is a possibility that can't be overlooked. In fact, who's to say whether or not it will or won't happen?
Jerry; who are you, I know you can't be some thug.
?; me? Like I said, I'm a fan of what's inside you some could say I'm crazy for it.
Jerry; I remember you now, you were in my dream before. You're…
Con; that's right, however I do not believe an introduction is necessary. Let me show exactly who I am.
As he said this, he turned his left arm into a spike, then taped it on the bar table, causing the entire bar to instantly disintegrate. Leaving Jerry shocked and trembling.
Con; wow, I was only trying to disintegrate the table, guess 2% was too much for this place. Now then, shall we dance?
Jerry; what?
In an instant Con pierced his right hand into Jerry's chest, causing him to cough blood.
Jerry, rapidly losing consciousness; damn… You…
…as his eyes slowly closed…
