Mini Fanfic #1256: The First Wonderful News of the Brand New Year (Persona X SSBU)

It was bright, calm, and beautiful morning in the city of Shiyuba. The citizens are seen walking around the sidewalks and across the road, the multiple sounds of car' engines and a few horns are heard, the smell of hot, freshly coffee begins to suffice in the air, and our two newly proposed couple, Ren Amimaya and Makoto Niijima, are peacefully sleeping together upstairs at Ren's old bedroom.

Last night, an hour after the arrival of the brand new year has begun and everyoneof their friends head back home for the rest of the day, Ren convinced Sojiro to let him and Makoto stay the night at the café alone together.

And really now, what better way for the two to celebrate this wonderful ocassions than to make passionate love with one another for hours on end till they eventually knocked out sleep? The funny thing about all of this is that it was Makoto who suggested the idea to Ren beforehand. She has slowly, but gradually been showing off her adventurous side more often these days, than she's willing to admit. Not that Ren minded. In fact, that makes him attracted to her even more than he dos the day he first fell for her and ten times more beautiful in his eyes. But speaking of observing beauty.....

Ren: (Finally Wakes Himself Up with an Arm Stretch and a Yawn Before Smiling at his Fiance Laying Right Next to Him) Good morning, beautiful.

Makoto: (Starts Wakimg Up as Well by Letting Out a Cute Sounding Yawn) Good morning, Ren-Ren...You had yourself a good sleep?

Ren: (Puts on a Satisfied Smirk on his Face) Oh yeah. Especially after all the work you made me have to do to you all night~ (Lightly Smacks Makoto's Covered Rear) Hope you had as fun as i did.

Makoto: (Giggles Ticklishly by the Light Rear Smack Before Letting Out a Sigh of her Own) I did, very much so~ This was the one thing I thought for us to celebrate the new year and a successful proposal, believe it or not. (Starts Smirking a Bit) That being said~ Come here~

Ren: Huh- Woah! (Suddenly Gets Pulled into a Very Loving Hug and is Now Chuckling Ticklishly by his Fiancé's Kisses) Geeheeheez, Makoto!~ At least warn a guy before you get all snuggly and happy like that~ Now that I mentioned it, this might be the happiest I've seen of you yet. Cute.

Makoto: (Giggles Softly) Sorry, I can't help myself. We're gonna get married real soon!~

Ren: (Chuckles Some More) Hey, no need for apologies! I'm just as excited as you are right now. There's gonna be a lot of planning to do that's for sure.

Makoto: I'm certain we'll have plenty of help along the way. Which reminds me, we gotta head to the Smash Mansion today and tell everyone there the news.

Ren: Sounds like a reasonable plan to me. (Turns to his Buzzing Phone Sitting on the Dresser Next to his Bed) They're probably blowing up on my phone right now as speak. But first! (Hugs Makoto Back) Few more minutes of cuddle time?

Makoto: ('Sigh') Alright. Five minutes. (Starts Snuggling onto Ren's Warm Embrace) After that, it's off to the mansion to start the new year off.

Ren: Roger that- (Winks at Makoto)

Makoto: (Mrs. Amimaya.....) (Smiles Lovingly While Blushing) (It has a nice ring to it already~)

Six and a Half of Cuddling Later.......

Makoto: (In the Showers) Ann wants us to share the wedding service with her and Shiho-san?

Ren: (Standing by the Restroom Door) Yep! Says it would save Momma Peach from spending too much money on us. Does that seem like something you'll be okay with?

Makoto: (Smiles Softly) Yeah, I don't mind. Could be fun. Do you think we'll share the same honeymoons as well?

Ren: Probably. Here's hoping wherever it is, isn't too expensive to go to.

.........................................................................

Ren: (Standing in Front of the Bathroom Mirror, Combing his Hair) So how you feel about Futaba being our DJ?

Makoto: (Standing Outside and by the Restroom Door This Time While Raising an Eyebrow in Confusion) Futaba can use the turn tables?

Ren: No, but she has been wanting to play on one for a while now and claimed to memorize almost every hand movement the DJs make on TV. (Puts the Comb Down to the Side and Picks his Tooth Brush From a Cup) She even try to turning Sojiro's old record player set once before she got caught red handed and had to clean around the café for three weeks tops.

Makoto: (Giggles Softly) Kudos for her finding unique ways to practice at least~ She's hired.

Ren: (Raises an Eyebrow While Blushing his Teeth in a Muffled Sounding Voice) You sure you wanna do that? She'll have the after party sounding like alien space ship after a while.

Makoto: It's gonna be fine, Ren. All I want is for her and everyone invited to have themselves a fun, good time. Hopefully not too much to where it leads to chaos and destruction down the line, but...('Sigh') Fingers crossed for that too I guess.

Ren: Alright, she's hired. (Gargle Mouthwash in his Mouth Before Spitting it All Out in the Sink in Front of Him) We should probably hired a few bodyguards while we're at it.

Makoto: Way ahead of you, Mr. Niijima~

'Door Opens'

Ren: (Sticks his Head Out of the Opened Restroom Door While Snickering at his Soon to be Wife) Did you just called me Mr. Niijima just now?~

Makoto: (Smiles Sheepishly) I just wanted see how it sounds is all~ You like?

Ren: (Starts Nodding a Bit) Not too shabby I must admit. Which do you prefer our last names to be now? Niijima or Amimaya?

Makoto: (Crosses her Arms While Thinking) Hm.....I've been a Niijima for all my life and I'm still proud of being one to tis very day......(Smiles Sweetly) But I'm really, really, really, really, REEEALLY loving how "Mrs. Amimaya" sounds, so I'll go with that one instead~

Ren: (Chuckles Lightly) Amimayas it is! You're adorable~ (Starts Kissing on Makoto's Cheek) You know that?~

Makoto: (Giggles Ticklishly) And you're still as handsome as they come~ Now go and get dressed already!~

A Few More Minutes of RenGetting Dressed Later

The newly proposed couple are now seen walking down the stairs together, hand and hand, when they suddenly Notices two familiar faces down at the café.

Sojiro: (Smiles Brightly at the Duo While Standing Behind the Bar Stand) Well, look who finally decides to show up?~

Dark Pit: (Simply Waves at the Two While Standing in Front of the Bar Stand, Drinking a Cup of Cofee He Ordered) 'Sup,, lovebirds.

Ren/Makoto: Pitto-san!~ (Happily Sprints Over and Hugs Their Favorite Moody Angel Together) Happy News Year!~

Ren: Heard you guys had one hell of a party from the other side.

Dark Pit: (Shrugs) Yeah, it's what you expected most of our gatherings would go, except with more dancing.....(Starts Blushing a Bit at the Thought of Receiving Mutliple Kisses From his Girlfriends After the Countdown Was Over) and kissing. Everyone was missing you guys like by the way. What's up with that?

Ren: Wait. Our Witch and Goddess Mom didn't tell you the news last night?

Dark Pit: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) I...think so? They were crying the whole night, I could hardly understand either of them. Why, Is that news of yours' that big or something?

Ren: (Playfully Shrugs) Wellllll, it's nothing enormous. Just that-

Makoto: (Already Has a Very Excited Smile on her Face) WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!~

Dark Pit: I'm sorry- (Eyes Widened in Complete and Genuine Surprise) What!?

Ren: (Snickers at his Soon to be Wife) Makoto, you could've at least let me play into this bit a little longer.

Makoto: (Smiles Sheepishly) Sorry~ I still couldn't get over wonderful that night was~

Ren: ('Sigh') I know. I'm excited about it too, hon. (Kiss the Top of Makoto's Forehead Before Turning Back to his Angel Brother) Your future sis in law speaks the truth, bud. We're finally getting hitched in the future. We haven't decided the date yet. Or...much of anything besides the last name and who gets the DJ spot.

Dark Pit: Holy crap, this is actually happening......(Shakes his Head a Bit as He Starts Coming Back to Reality) Okay, so....who propose to who exactly?

Makoto: Me~ Shiho-san and I planned propose to our respective partners months prior as we went jewelry shopping together. ('Sighs in Pure Relief') It was so nerve-wrecking just by thinking about it beforehand, but I'm so glad I've pushed through in the end. (Hugs Ren's Arm) Now I can finally live the rest of my life married to the man I love so much, as Mrs. Amimaya!~ (Happily Kisses Ren's Cheeks Again)

Ren: (Chuckles Ticklishly by Makoto's Kisses Again) She's been like this all morning, it's adorable~

Sojiro: (Smirks While Whispering Something to Pitto) You should've your brother the moment Makoto proposed to him. Poor kid was crying his eyes out, asking if marrying him was really a good idea or not.

Dark Pit: (Turns to Sojiro) And you didn't think of recording and send it to me afterwards!?

Ren: (Gives Pitto a Deadpinned Look on his Face) Pitto, can't you go one day without using to something to blackmail people with?

Dark Pit: (Shrugs Again) Hey, my life would significantly be more boring I I stop now. (Smirks a Bit) Still, congratulations, you two.

Makoto: (Smiles Brightly) Thank you!~ We're planning on tell the others in the family the news as well if you like to some with.

Dark Pit: Sure. (Tosses his Dimensional Ring and Have it Expanded Into it's Giant, Transporting Size Midair) I was planning on coming back there anyways. (Turns Back to Sojiro) Wanna come along too, Uncle Sojiro?

Sojiro: Can't. I just opened up the café the moment you came here. You three can go on ahead without me.

Ren: If you say so. We'll bring you something nice back later on! (Waves Goodbye to his Coffee Dad as He Follows Pitto Into the Ring)

Makoto: (Happily Waves Goodbye to Sojiro While Walking into The Ring as Well) Have a good day, Uncle Sojiro, if you don't mind me calling you that for the foreseeable futuuuuure!~

Sojiro: (Watches the Giant Ring Spins Around and Disappears into Thin Air with a Sincere Smile on his Face) I don't mind that at all., kid.

'Door Open, Bell Ring'

Sojiro: Hm? (Turns to See Sae and Tae Rushing Themselves into the Café with the Former Covered in a Few Kiss Marks on her Face)

Sae: Sojiro, were Makoto and Ren here just now?

Sojiro: Yep, you just miss them. They left to visit the Smash Family at the mansion before you two came in here.

Sae: (Snaps her Finger a Bit in Disappointment) Figures. I was hoping we could congratulate them both of them on the successful proposal.

Tae: ('Sigh') Even more so considering we've missed seeing it happen in person last night....

Sojiro: Work got you both in a bind last night, didn't it?

Tae: For the most part. (Rests the Side of her Head onto her Girlfriend's Shoulder) They got my poor Empress here to near exhaustion all night, so I had to keep her company~

Sojiro: (Starts Smirking at Sae in Particular) Ahh, so that explains the kiss marks on your face then, Ms. Prosecutor?~

Sae: (Eyes Widened a Bit Before Turning Away From Sojiro) I don't believe that's any of your business, Sojiro-

Tae: You've guessed it, boss man.

Sae: (Bashfully Glares at Tae) T-Tae!?~

Tae: (Casually Shrugs) What? It's the truth, isn't it? It's my duty as your beautiful, doctor of a girlfriend to take care of my beloved~ (Gives Sae Another Kiss on the Cheek)

Sae: (Starts Blushing Some More by Tae's Affections) A-And I appericate that very much~ (Starts Pouting and Pointing at a Smug Looking Sojiro a Few Feet Behind Her) T-That still doesn't mean he gets to know about it though!!

Tae: Hey, there's no shame in telling him a little a bit about our business for today. Especially now that it's the- (Happily Pumps her Fist Up in the Air) New Year, baby!!

Sojiro: (Chuckles Lightly) Now that's something we can all make a toast to. (Walks Back Behind the Counter) I'll make you two drinks, on the house.

Tae: (Smiles Brightly) Much appreciated, Sojiro-San. (Turns Back to her Girlfriend) Let's savor this day of freedom while we, yeah?~ (Gives Sae Another Kiss on the Cheek While Making her Way to the Stand) WOOOOO!~

Sae: (Sighs with a Small Smile on her Face) You are so lucky that you're cute yourself right now, doctor~ (Follows Behind Tae)

Meanwhile at the Smash Mansion's Dining Hall...........

The Dimensional Ring transported our trio on the hall's stage, where most members of the Smash Family are seen partying beneath them.

Ren: Good to see that they're lively as ever.

Makoto: (Raises an Eyebrow in a Bit of Confusion) Is this an after party of sorts?

Dark Pit: Yep. It started a few minutes ago. The last party was so good that they decided to throw another for good measures. I get their attention.

Pitto nods at the DJ at the other side of the stage, silently telling him to turn the music off. The Dj, in question, did what he was requested which in turn, Instantly causes everyone in the room to start complaining and even booing at this sudden notion.

Dark Pit: (Walks Over to the Microphone and Speaks on It) Alright, everybody SHUT UP! I have the floor here!

The room finally goes silent thanks to Pitto loud, demanding voice echoing the room.

Kyoko: (Happily Waving at her Boyfriend in Front of the Stage While Standing Next to her Girlfriend, Misako) HIIIIII PITTO-KINS!~

Misako: (Smirks at her Boyfriend) We love you, babe!~

Dark Pit: (Snaps his Finger and Points at his Two Girlfriends in the Crowd) Right back at your, babes! But that's beside the point. Guess who finally decides to show up? (Presents Ren and Makoto to the Crowd)

Ren: (Steps in and Speaks on the Microphone Next) Yo, what's up, my peeps! HAPPY NEW YEEEEEAR!

Crowds: (Cheers For Ren and Makoto in Rejoice)

Dedede: Boy, where in the hell were y'all two been last night!?

Kamui: We were missing you both like crazy!!~

Ridley: (Angry Shakes his Fist at Ren in the Background) YOU OWE ME FIVE BUCKS!

Makoto: (Speaks on the Microphone Next) We're so sorry we made you all worried all night! There's a perfectly good explaining for why we-

Ren: MAKOTO PROPOSED TO ME LAST NIGHT AND I SAID YES!!...(Turns to Makoto with a Sheepish Smile on his Face) Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Makoto: (Smiles Back at Ren While Gently Patting his Cheek) It's okay, we're even now. (Gives Ren a Peck on the Lips)

The crowd stare at the couple in surprised andd silence for a few seconds before they erupted by to cheering in rejoice once more, sounding even louder than it they were previously.

Dark Pit: (Claps his Hands While Making his Way Back to The Microphone) Yes, yes. This is truly an amazing news to discover today. I'm surprised myself.

Toon: (In the Crowd) Hey, wait a minute!

'Record Scratch'

Toon: Ren, did you say...Makoto was the one who proposed to you?

Ren: Yep. Even planned for it and everything.

Ness: (Eyes Widened in Horror)

Dark Pit: Heheheheheheh.......Ahahahahahahaha!

Hades: (Sighs While Pinches the Bridge of his Nose) Look at what you two have rot?....

Dark Pit: (Takes The Microphone Off the It's Stand and Continues to Speak on it With a Very Evil, Shit Eatting Grin on His Face) YOU'VE GUESSED RIGHT, FOLKS! While you were all so confident that your Ren-Ren her would make the first move, I was the only person in this equation, SMART ENOUGH to pick the other side.

Viridi: (In the Crowd) You being smart is debatable at best!

Dark Pit: Shut up! My intelligence doesn't matter in the conversation. What does though is that I'm the only one in the room who chose wisely. (Slams Down a Silver Bucket on a Nearby Stool) So step right up and PAY UP! All of y'all who participated, come on!

The collective groans of those who part take in this bet, begins to surface as they reluctantly make they're up to thr stage in a line.

Dark Pit: (Turns his Attention Back to his Girlfriends While Pointing at Them) Girls, get your makeups ready. We're going shopping today!

Kyoko: (Happily Squeals While Jumping Up and Down and Clapping her Hands) Shopping Spree on the New Year, I can't wait!!!~

Misako: (Smirks at Pitto) Look at you calling the shots up there~ It's a date!~

Yoshi: (Walks Over to the Place his Cash into the Bucket) First day of the year and you finally managed to win the a bet for once. I'm happy for you, man.

Dark Pit: Much appericated, my good dinosaur. (Gives Yoshi Fist Bumps Before Watching him Walk Off)

Hades: (Walks Up to the Stage Next, Dumbfounded) I don't believe this. The first bet I've lost in eons and it's to you of all people. This has GOT to be a fluke of some kind.....

Dark Pit: Uh-huh, sure. Or MAYBE lady luck wasn't on your side for once. Now, cough up the dough already!

Hades: (Groans in Defeat as He Drops his Money onto the Bucket) You won't get so lucky next time, my boy. (Walks Away) That, I can promise you.

Dark Pit: (Rolls his Eyes) Whatever you say, Hades.

Ren/Makoto: PITTO!

Dark Pit turns to see the soon-to-be married couple now glaring at him.

Makoto: You guys betted on us this whole time!?

Ren: (Raises an Eyebrow) You seriously thought I couldn't propose Makoto myself?

Makoto turns to Ren in silence with a deadpinned Look on her face.

Ren: What? I wanna know.

Dark Pit: We've been betting between you guys for like what? Three to four years now? Everyone was so convinced Ren would make the proposing move, but I had a feeling you love Ren enough to do it yourself, so I chose the opposing side: You, big sis.

Ren: (Shrugs) Can't argue with that logic. I'd probably do the same if I was in his sandals.

Makoto: ('Sigh') I'm very touched that you think highly of me, Pitto-san, but don't you think these bets you all been making are starting to run stale at this point?

Dark Pit: Yeah, definitely. (Starts Grinning Victoriously) But my losing streak has finally come to an end now that I WO-

?????: PITTOOOO!

Dark Pit: (Instantly Recognizes Three of Certified Moms' Voices a Few Feet Behind Him Before Letting Out Defeated Sigh) Nevermind. That ship has now sunken...

Hades: (In The Background) Ha!

Bayonetta: (Gives Pitto, Stern Motherly Glares Along with the Others) Young man, I thought we raised you better than to participate in these silly betting games.

Peach: Especially against your own family!

Pit: (Gets on the Stage Along with his Girlfriend, Viridi and Kirby) Yeah, Pitto, family always comes before betting money.

Viridi/Kirby: (Nodding in Agreement) Mmhmm.

People in the Line: (Turns to Pitto) YEAH!

Peach: (Comically Glares at the Others in the Line) Don't you "Yeah" him! This goes for all of you as well!!

People in the Line: Aww......

Dark Pit: HA!

Palutena: (Notices the Amount of Cash Raising Up on the Bucket, Most of Which are Fifty and Hundred Dollar Bills) You know, this amount of money could be enough to cover most of the expenses for two weddings-

Makoto: A wedding, actually. Ann wants to share a big one with us together, if that's okay with you-

Peach: (Beams Herself with Excitement) That would ve perfect!~ (Happily Claps her Hands) We could have ourselves the most beautiful conjoint wedding ever!~

Dark Pit: (Couldn't Believe What He's Hearing Right Now) Oh come on, aren't we already rich enough to pay for all of one ourselves?

Palutena: (Turns Back to Pitto) Honey, most of the stiff for the wedding here here almost cost large amount of fortune, even more so than what we could afford alone.

Bayonetta: (Immediately Gives Pitto the Sad Puppy Dog Eyes Along with Palutena) Pleeeeeease let us use the bucket of money for the conjoint wedding, darling?~

Palutena: It could benefit us all~

Peach: (Puts on the Sad Puppy Dog Eyes as Well) And Makoto and Ren-Ren are a part of our Smaah Family after all~

Makoto: (Follows Pursuit on the Sad Puppy Eyes Madness Along with Ren) And you DO love us very much~

Ren: Right?~

Pit: (Starrs Doing the Sar Puppy Dog Look aa Well) We'd really appericate it a lot if you take one for our happy family~

Kirby: (Does the Puppy Dog Eyes as Viridi Picks him Up) Poyo Poyo~

Everyone in Line: (Starts Doing the Puppy Dog Eyes as Well) PLEEEEEEEEEEASEE !?~

Dark Pit: ('Groans in Pure and Uttee Annoyance and Defeat') Alright, alright, FINE!! You win! You can have the money for the wedding expensives. (Turns Away While Blushing a Little) Hope it helps out or whatever.....

Everyone cheers once again in rejoice..

Ren: (Puts on a Satisfied Grin on his Face While Giving Pitto a Thumbs Up) Arigato, little bro!

Makoto: (Smiles Brightly at her Soon to Be Little Brother in Law) I knew you have a big heart~

Dark Pit: (Rolls his Eyes Again) Uh-huh. There goes that shopping spree plan.........

Misako: (Appears Right Next to Pitto on One Side) I wouldn't be so sure about that if we're you, babe.

Kyoko: (Appears on the Other Side with a Bright, Reassuring Smile on her Face) We can still go shopping together even if we're able to buy a few things. Our allowance came last night.

Misako: (Puts on a Reassuring Smirk on her Face) And for being a thoughtful boyfriend as you've always been, we'll treat you to something nice afterwards, on us. Sounds good?

Dark Pit: I don't like either of you to spend too much on me, but sure I guess-

?????: Not so fast!

The trio turn their attention to Princess Zelda walking up the stage, with Mewtwo and Owain following her behind.

Zelda: We need to have ourselves a Smash Meeting first.

Misako/Kyoko: Smash Meeting?

Dark Pit: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) For what exactly?

Zelda: (Gives Pitto a Sisterly Like Glare) For all the bets that's been going on around here! It's been getting out of hand and i think it's high time we put an end to this once and for all!

Peach: (Happily Cheers for Zelda) Atta girl, Zelda dear!~ Show 'em whose boss!~

Zelda: (Happily Waves Back at Peach) Sure thing, Momma Peach!~ (Turns Back to the Trio with the Same Stern Look on her Face She Has Previously) Now then, off to the living room we go. (Turns to Everyone Else in Line) That goes double for the rest of you too, let's go!

Everyone in Line: ('Groans in Annoyance and Defeat')

Zelda: Less 'ahhing', more moving, people! No time to waste!.

And so, everyone who participated in the bet and a few others in the past along with it, reluctantly follows Zelda and Co to the living room to their first Smash Family Meeting of the new year.

Dark Pit: ('Sigh Heavily') It's not even the afternoon yet and this year already sucks......

Misako: Oh don't be such a drama queen, DP. It can't be that bad. Can it?

Kyoko: Only one way to find out.

Dark Pit: Unfortunately....

Kyoko: (Pouts at her and Misako's Dark Angel) Hey, none of that negativity nonsense, mister. It'll all be over soon just you wait.

Missko: Yeah, what she said.

Dark Pit: ('Sigh') Yes, ma'ams.

Makoto: (Watches Half of the Crowd Walking Out of the Halls) Well, that's one way to spend the rest of the morning.

Ren: (Casually Shrugs)There's never a dull moment in this wacky family. I'm glad we can take breather for no-

'A-HEM'

Ren's eyes starts to widen up in fear as he slowly turns to see his new family (Palutena, Bayonetta, Pit, and Viridi) are now staring at him, in a menacing like fashion.

Ren: Uhhhh....(Smiles Awkwardly While Waving at his Family) G-Good morning, you guys.

Ren's family slowly begins to approach Ren with each step they take.

Ren: (Steps Back) H-H-Hold on now! Let's not do anything rash he-

Ren's Family: (Launches Themselves Onto....).RENNYYYYYYYY!~

Ren: Goddammit, no!

Ren tries running away....only to get hug tackled one by one before heading straight to the stage's floor.

'THUD'

Ren: (Winces a Bit in Pain In Multiple Arms Around) God, would it kill any of you to warn me before doing this!? I'm desperate here.

Bayonetta: (Already in Tears Along with Everyone Else) Well, excuse us for missing you like crazy all of last night, young man!!~

Palutena: And to hear that you're finally getting married with the girl of your dreams.....('Sniff') How else are we supposed to react!?~

Pit/Viridi: (Starts Snuggling Up on Ren) CONGRATULATIOOOONS!~

Ren: Thanks, really. I'm never gonna get out of this, am I?

Pit: ('Sniff') Nope! There's no escaping.

Viridi: You're gonna stay here and hug whether you like it or not, so DEAL WITH IT!~

Ren: ('Sighs in Defeat') Yeah, I figured you'd say tthat. Love you guys.

Ren's Family: WE LOVE YOU TOOOOOOOOO!~

Ren: (Wonces Some More) Ack! H-Hey! Easy on the hugging!!

Makoto: (Giggles a Bit While Watching a Sweet Family Bonding Moment Unfolds in Front of Her and Peach) Good to see some things hasn't change around here.

Peach: (Giggles as Well) Of course! The year maybe new, but our love for one another will never go away. (Turns to Makoto) How do you feel now that you've finally proposed?

Makoto: (Sighs in Satisfactory Before Smiling) Amazing....Don't I'll ever be any happier than this right now. (Turns to Peach) Thank you again for your words of encouragement last year. And please, take all the time you need to get everything accounted for and ready. The last we want to do is be any more a nuisance-

Peach: (Immediately Gives Makoto a Very Loving Hug) Don't say that! You two are not nuisances any one of us, Makoto Niijima, and you never will be~ (Gives Makoto a Soft, Determined Smile on her Face) We'll make this the best wedding you and your friends will ever have in your whole lives, so just leave everything to us from here on out, okay?

Makoto: (Heart Begins to Melt in Genuine Happiness Before Nodding to this Request) Will do, mom. (Gives Peach a Peck on the Cheek, Making her Giggle Some More in Return)

Peach: Okay!~ (Points Over to the Hug Pile in Front of her and Makoto)nNw how about we join in on the hugfest over here? Something tells me our dear Ren-Ren needs all the love he can get right now~

Makoto: (Smiles Brightly) You don't have to tell me twice. Let's go.

The Phantom Revisers (A Persona 5 AU fanfic) Chapter 1: The Opening Pages

[Link to the Prologue is here] [ April 4th, 2017]

“We’re almost there, sweetie.” Wakaba spoke up to Futaba as they were going down a narrow road in Yongen-Jaya. Man, the delivery truck took up the whole road, getting in the way of onlookers and walkers. It was just something they were going to have to deal with. Futaba originally was listening to the ambient sounds around her, including the sound of other cars going by as they drove towards their new place. However, she found herself attracted to her book she brought with her. It was about someone who found out they had some incredible powers and could change everything.

That only elicited a long sigh from her. The past two months had been beyond her control, and was feeling absolutely sick and tired of not having any say in what happened to her. She was distracted from her story upon hearing her mother’s voice. She instinctively looked out the door and was observing her surroundings. It was a tight knit little neighborhood they were slowly making their way through. Soon, Wakaba turned into the area where Amimaya’s house resided.

“Okay, Amimaya-san should be at his café. Café lupin. Honestly that is quite like him to name it that. Sheesh, I swear he tried to “steal my heart” all the time. Good thing I had no intention of getting together with him. He was cute though.” It was rare for Wakaba to admit that since she usually didn’t judge people by their looks. Just their actions and intentions. Well, she was amused at the very least. Now, it was time to go meet him.

Futaba was recalling the last time that she saw him. He was still acting like that charming, suave individual he always was. It was surprising that Wakaba and him got together as well as they did, even if it was purely as friends. She kept recalling a bit more about him as they made their way to Café lupin. For whatever reason, he disappeared after that last encounter, and it wasn’t until Wakaba made a desperate call to him after the verdict that he would be in their lives again.

Entering Café Lupin, they saw how small and cozy the place was. A big counter took up a big chunk of the area, with seating at the counter and behind it. He was serving curry and his own specialty blend of coffee. Apparently, he was claiming that it would help people with their love life. Yeah, as if that could happen. There was also a flight of stairs leading up to attic.

And then there was Ren Amimaya himself. An older man, in his late 40’s, with a stubble and a beard that was unkempt, wearing fake glasses still because it made him “attractive and nerdy” and still tried to keep his messy hair from when he was younger. To limited success, anyways.

“Ah, the Isshiki family. Wakaba, as always it’s lovely to see you, you know, that look of desperation somehow makes you sexier and—” He was immediately interrupted by her. “I told you; I’m not entertaining your remarks to me. You’re a friend, nothing else.” Ouch. Once again, he was being friend zoned. “My heart, it hurts. Anyways, I guess you two are here to get settled in huh? Well, I have some news for you. Futaba’s going to have to live in the attic of this café. At least for the time being.”

Both Futaba and Wakaba would look at each other with a puzzled expression. This was certainly not the plan that they agreed to. They didn’t know there was an attic to the place until just now. “Hang on. Ren, this was not what I agreed to.” Wakaba spoke up after that initial bit of surprise wore off. “Heh, sorry about changing the terms last moment. However, I realized that I couldn’t have you both at my house. Too small and there’s only one guest room.”

So, she was now going to be confined to an attic like some discarded thing huh? “Now don’t you worry your little heads. I made sure that there were sufficient outlets, and you can use the café internet. Though I am weary with that little charge on your head, Futaba-chan.” It was most likely that she was innocent, but hearing that did make him a little uneasy about this whole thing. “However, if you promise to never do any nefarious things then I can ignore those transgressions.”

Futaba’s urge to explain heavily that she had no involvement in that rose up but she was forced to push that back down. Last thing she needed to do was get in more trouble and possibly ruin their chance to have a new start. So, she just nodded. “I understand…I won’t do anything like that. I might cheat in space cadet pinball though.” “What? By tilting the table or something?” He laughed heartily at her expense before turning to Wakaba. At least he knew what pinball was. “Plus that means it’ll just be the two of us and—” He was promptly interrupted once again. “I should’ve realized you had an ulterior motive to all of this. How many times must I explain to you that we are just friends?”

“Woah woah, put your claws away. I know we’re just friends. Now then, I may also have the both of you work in the café. This will be your way of paying rent and all that. I can’t exactly easily afford having two new individuals to take care of without you all contributing in some way.” A more serious tone was on his lips as he spoke. “Not today though. I’ll let you all get moved in and then we’ll go from there. I’m sure Futaba-chan is going to want to get ready to enroll in her new school.”

“Thank you, Ren. It’s been a long trip and we’re ready to get moved in. I suppose it only makes logical sense for us to work for you. I’m pretty much unemployed currently. Reduced to a laughing stock in the scientific community for daring to defend my daughter…” A frustrated sigh left her. “Well, it doesn’t matter now. Come on Futaba dear, let’s get your stuff.”

The rest of this long day would be spent with the two of them grabbing Futaba’s stuff and taking it to the café and attic. With them being sticklers about packing, it wasn’t all too bad. Ren would even agree to close the café early to facilitate making the moving process easier. Despite all the messing and teasing, he knew that they were just down on their luck, and wouldn’t be doing this unless they were desperate.

Being forced into a situation against their control, he knew all about that. It wasn’t something that he would bring up in casual conversation though. All that would do was make him look more like a failure than he already perceived himself to be. A failed love life, people not trusting him due to his antics, it was all weighing heavily on him. And he had to admit, the constant friend-zoning just got to him. Even if he wouldn’t show it.

Ah well, he had his café that wasn’t particularly successful. It was his baby, and it showed by the way that he took care of it. Well, mostly anyways. There was some aspects that he let by the wayside that would bite him in the ass. But that was for his future self to take care of. He watched as the last of Futaba’s stuff got hauled upstairs. The attic was fairly spacious, but stuffy because of a lack of air circulation. A fan of some sort was a high priority.

Most of Futaba’s belongings were her books and clothing, along with the computer and laptop, all of which were in boxes. There was a makeshift bed that was just a mattress on top of some milk cartons. “Sorry about the bed Futaba-chan. This whole thing was last minute and all. Gotta get you a proper frame eventually. Once I can afford it anyways. Now then, have a good night!” Leaving Futaba to her devices, the whole café went silent, aside from the sound of the door closing.

“Alright, let’s get to work. New place, new rules. Maybe I am the protagonist of my own story. That would be nice.” She decided to get a good look around. It was dusty as all heck and the whole place needed a good clean. Good grief, it was like Ren never really bothered to take care of the place. Then again, it was the attic to a café. He probably wasn’t up here that often anyways. “First priority is to dust. He probably won’t mind me dusting the area down.”

Her work would go deep into the night, dusting everything from top to bottom, cleaning the floors a bit, opening the window to let in some air, getting rid of that stuffiness as a breeze blew through. And after ensuring that the room was as clean as possible, she started to take out her stuff. Posters of the Featherman series and other assorted anime and her prized Egyptian Hieroglyphics poster went up on the wall. She put her computer and accessories on the desk that was in the corner of the room, and made sure that it was still booting proper. Eventually, everything was put up as best as she could.

Checking the time on her phone, it was 23:10. Man, time really flew. It was like when she got into a big reading session, or a gaming binge. Next thing she would know, it was time for her to get prepared for bed. She went down to the bathroom of the café and did the night time routines; brushing her teeth, washing her face, that sort of thing. A wave of exhaustion would hit her as she walked up the stairs. Time for bed.

She had orientation tomorrow for Shujin academy. Probably not a good idea to be staying up too late anyways. Getting into bed, she adjusted herself, getting her phone on a charger as she always did, and then rested her head on the pillow. God this mattress was uncomfortable and lumpy. Oh well, nothing she could do about it for now. Closing her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep. And this is where everything would start to change.

Her eyes fluttered open as she heard the sounds of computerized noises. That was weird. Maybe she left her computer on overnight? Well, when she looked around, it wasn’t the attic. All around her were flashing lights and stuff that looked like computer components. What the heck? This couldn’t be real, could it? She naturally pinched herself but wouldn’t wake up. So that was a thing. She pushed herself off the bed? Though she was resting on a graphics card suspended on the wall. There was a main room that she looked at.

The floor was the lid of a cpu, and in the middle of the room was a table, and a strange looking old man with a long nose. “Welcome, to the Velvet Room. My name is Igor. Please, come closer.” Futaba made her way up to the desk and then a holographic display popped up. A place to put a signature on. “Only those who sign the contract are allowed to reside here.”

Contract? What was he talking about? Contracts were binding. “A contract for what?” Futaba asked, hesitant to sign this without knowing what it was all about. “It is merely a contract stating you will be responsible for what happens over the course of the year. You will find that many things will change, and your narrative will change in ways that you could never expect. Now please, sign the contract.”

There was a pause for a moment. Her narrative was already changing in ways that she couldn’t expect. Hesitation still had a grip on her. However, she then realized that maybe this would mean changes in a good way. Maybe, just maybe this downward trend was going to realign itself. The narrative structure would change for the better. So, she wrote her signature on the display, before it went away. “Excellent. Once we meet again, things will about to be in motion. Until next time…”

[April 5th, 2017]

Before she knew it, the world faded into white, and she found herself jolting awake. Her eyes gazed around the area, and she saw the sun rise out the window. When she checked her phone, it was 7:15. Phew. She hadn’t over slept, that was good. However, what was that dream she just had? And why was it so vivid for a dream? There were many questions rummaging through her brain, but there wasn’t any time for it. It was time to get herself dressed and ready to go.

A new school meant a new school uniform. She grabbed her Shujin academy uniform from the box with her clothes in it and sat it down on the bed, getting the wrinkles out just like her mom showed her. She was going to have to present herself accordingly, because if she knew anything from her time on the internet, the rumors about her were going to be abound. So, pressing all the wrinkles out of her outfit, she changed from her pjs to her academy outfit. And man did this thing ever itch. She hated wearing a new uniform; for some reason it always made her itch and feel uncomfortable for a bit.

With a little bit of time before her mom was expected to take her to school for orientation, she booted her computer up and was looking up things about Shujin academy, along with just keeping up with things in general. Her usual perusal of news-based outlets uncovered a mysterious death. Apparently, it looked like black ink was pouring from their eyes, nose and mouth, and even pores. Damn. What the hell happened to them?

Checking news about Shujin academy, it seemed like there wasn’t anything in particular that was standing out. Which was good. Last thing she needed was to be enrolled in a school that was embroiled in drama, right? There was a model and a popular coach for teachers it seemed, along with the regular assortment. She was still going to miss her old homeroom teacher, Yoko Sawa though. She seemed nice. Pushing that aside, she was interrupted by the sounds of someone coming up the stairs.

“Good morning, Futaba dear. Ready to head out?” Wakaba seemed to be exhausted. Did she not sleep well? Now that she thought about it, she was looking particularly stressed out and exhausted for a while now. It was understandable considering the circumstances, but it was still something worth being concerned about. “Yeah. Give me just a second.” She put her computer into sleep mode and grabbed her phone and bag and they headed down.

Ren was there and was working on a batch of curry that apparently him and Wakaba workshopped on back in the day. As she was about to leave, she was stopped by him who handed her a sealed container of food. Oh, it was curry. “Here ya go. Can’t have such a lovely young girl like you going on an empty stomach. This is a one time offer though. You’ll have to fend for yourself from now on.” He knew that was a lie. Treating her to some food was the absolute least he could do, after all.

“Well, uh, alright. Thanks. I feel like I’m getting my starting inventory here.” She appreciated it though, cause it was going to be a long day and she was going to be hungry during it. Her hunger gauge was going to be low, as she would put it. Putting that aside, she made her way out of the café with Wakaba to head to the station. Along the way, she saw another Shujin Academy student who had the goth vibe to a tee. Messy bob haircut, choker, earrings, dark, glittery lipstick. All of it.

“Huh…” Pushing that aside, the rest of the trip to Shujin, including getting a student pass was fairly uneventful. Though she was noticing something odd on her phone. An app appeared called the Metanarrative app. When she clicked on it, nothing would happen. Well, she was probably going to use an anti-virus scanner on her phone when she got home. She uninstalled the app and moved on. Soon enough, they would arrive at the station closest to Shujin and make their way there.

Her eyes gazed around the area. It was a nice place. But then again, so was Seiryo and that school was absolutely plagued by bullying. Who knew what sort of issues this place had. It wouldn’t be long until they were greeted by the teacher assigned to head the orientation. Ann Takamaki. That was when Futaba realized this was one of the teachers mentioned when searching up Shujin earlier. A former model who was part American and part Japanese. Apparently she had to give up her modelling career and found that she could get a teaching job.

“Hiya! Welcome to Shujin Academy! My name’s Takamaki Ann. I’m going to be your homeroom teacher. I also teach English. Now then, I’m going to show you around, and show you to your assigned class.” As she was being shown around, she happened to pass by another teacher who was heading towards the gymnasium. Ryuji Sakamoto. He was that coach, wasn’t he? The one who was once a respected track runner himself, then coached a team that went all the way to nationals, and won! But as soon as they passed by each other, she received an icy cold look from him.

“Eh, I wouldn’t worry about him. Probably just grouchy.” Ann remarked to Futaba before continuing to show her around. “I actually have a question Takamaki-sensei.” Wakaba spoke up. “Are you aware of any major bullying problems here? The last school Futaba was at had a bullying problem. I saw that you all take care of that fairly well. However, I wanted to hear it from a teacher directly.” “Well, I haven’t noticed any major bullying. It’s impossible to get rid of it all, but Shujin is very inclusive and intolerant of bullying.”

“Thank you. I feel much better already. Hear that Futaba? It should be fine for you here.” It didn’t actually make Futaba feel much better, but maybe she could just blend in, like a ninja in a stealth mission. The rest of the tour was relatively uneventful, showing the various clubs and such that Futaba had no intention of joining, where the gym was, and so on. “You’ll be assigned to 2-D, my class. Second floor though I’m sure you are used to that. I think you are going to be a great addition to the school, Futaba-chan. I love your hair. It’s so long.”

“Uh, thanks.” A sheepish reply came from Futaba. She didn’t do anything special to her hair but a compliment from the teacher. “Okay, unless you have any other questions, then you’re free to go! First day of class is tomorrow. I’m sure you’re excited. I’m excited as well.” Ann clasped her hands before letting off a bit of a solemn sigh that broke the façade of her being so cheery and excited for things. “I’m sure you’ll take quite advantage of the library as well.”

“That library was quite nice yes.” She patted Futaba’s shoulder after saying that. “Alright, let’s eat and then head back home, shall we?” Time would pass by in the blink of an eye as she ate lunch with her mom, using the curry that was given to her by Ren. It was quite good, and she made sure to eat all of it. She loved curry as much as she loved sushi, and this was a damn delicious batch. Then they would head home, and Futaba proceeded to play video games and read until night-time.

She had also virus checked her phone in the off chance she downloaded a malicious app, but it didn’t appear to be the case. But that metanarrative app was back there once again. Every time she clicked on it, it wouldn’t do anything but just stare at her with that pentagram symbol with the book in the middle of it. Ugh, this was so damn annoying. She was going to have to re-format her phone to get rid of it, it seemed. Well, she would deal with that later. It was time to sleep.

She had that dream again, waking up in what was apparently called the Velvet Room by Igor. He would tell her that things were just about in motion, and that she would find herself seeing things that wouldn’t, or rather shouldn’t be possible, and that the course of her life and the lives of the entire country were going to be changed by her actions. It was up to her whether she would use what she was about to receive a power that could erase and re-write things. “When we meet again, things will be in motion. Take care…”

[April 6, 2017th]

Getting dressed, Futaba was once again ready to go, this time for her first day at school at Shujin academy. However, there was something troubling her, and she was worried that things for her were going to go south, quickly. Looking up info about that coach, she saw some troubling things. Apparently, he was judgmental towards anyone who didn’t do sports. Called them lazy and such. And was incredibly controlling towards his pupils. This was considered an endearing trait. Well, that just sounded like he was an asshole.

In addition to that, she was frustrated at this Metanarrative app that kept appearing. She did everything she could to get rid of it, yet it kept appearing like a plague. Yep, she decided that after school today she was going to back everything up and then re-format her phone. For now, she pocketed it, and grabbed her stuff to head to school. Heading down, she saw Ren once again, cleaning the counter. “Ah, look at you. Ready for school are we?”

“Yep. This is my new level 1. New game, stats at base.” That went over his head like a missed spell, and he just gave her a stupefied expression. “It’s uh…a video game reference.” Even that went over his head. Oh boy. “Heh, sorry about that. All I really know is pinball. Anyways, I’ll see you around! Might have you do some dishes tonight, Futaba-chan. Oh and remember, don’t be late.” She knew that of course, she was always punctual. That was a value that Wakaba put on her after all.

Heading out, she made her way to the station and got on the subway. Man, it was just as crowded as yesterday; and without mom being there, there was this feeling of anxiety she had being so packed in like this. Her phone made a noise and she looked at it. The metanarrative app was glowing, but wouldn’t do anything still. How annoying. Pocketing it, she spent the rest of her trip in silence, putting on headphones and listening to music to drown out the noise.

Once she got to the Shujin Academy station, she was heading towards the place, but that’s when she stumbled across another student. He was apparently trying to grow a long beard but also have a punk look to him. It was obviously not working out for him. He seemed to be frustrated at something he saw on his phone, whipping around and almost smacking Futaba directly in the face. “Oh shoot. Sorry about that. My bad. Uh…oh, you’re that Isshiki kid aren’t you? Rumors have been floating around you were going to be here. Probably leaked by that asshole. I’m Sakura, Sojiro.” “Isshiki, Futaba. Uh, nice to meet you.”

“You certainly look like a geek and a nerd. That’s what everyone saying. That only someone who looked sufficiently geeky could do such a thing as hacking into a computer and steal info.” That made Futaba’s heart suddenly race for a second. Of course, there would be talk about her already. So much for blending in. “But, from what I know of from studying psychology, you don’t seem like the type to do so.” This guy was certainly interesting. A guy dressed up as a punk who was studying psychology? Not the type of person you would see every day. “I guess video games were right. Information really does spread faster than anything.” Futaba remarked, pulling out her phone and looking at that app again. “Who spread information about me anyways?”

“Probably that coach, Sakamoto. He always does that to anyone he doesn’t like. Did it to me as well, after I refused to join his track team. Then has proceeded to make my life a living hell. Controlling, manipulative, the usual for someone like him.” That confirmed the rumors about him that she heard. “I’ll explain on the way there. Follow me. I’ve learned a shortcut to this place.”

She would follow him through an alley way that apparently was a lot faster than taking the official route. “If I had to give the title of a story to him, it would be The Malicious, manipulative Head Coach from hell. He’s so harsh and controlling that it’s driven some students to leave school entirely.” Holy shit, was this guy that bad? There wasn’t anything about that online, but she hadn’t put that much time into her research. “Anyways, my suggestion for someone like him? Keep your head down and blend in. You’ll be fine.”

“Duly noted. I’ll not deal with the villain if I can help it.” (“That certainly explains the cold glare that he gave me yesterday.”) As they approached the school, they would find that something had changed. There was a suddenly an enormous sports stadium where the school was! Did they go the wrong way or something? She wasn’t aware of any stadiums around! She looked at her phone and saw that the metanarrative app had activated. What on earth was going on? This was when things were going to change forever…
