Mini Fanfic #1090: Video Calling Mom (King of Fighters)

12:54 p.m. at Borgard's Residence's Living Room.......

The words "Incoming Call" appears on a blue laptop's screen. As a hand reach and press down the mouse pad to answer the call, a small square begins to pop up of a woman in long, brown hair waving 'hello' with a bright smile on her face.

????: Hiiiii honey!~

Shingo: (Happily Waves Back at the Woman on Screen) Hi mom!~ it's been so long since I've seen you. How have you been?

Ms. Yabuki: I've been doing well so far. Relaxing, getting out the house to shop and see friends, missing my three, darling angels to pieces almost everyday, rinse and repeat. Ooh! (Ducks Down to Get Something From the Left Side of the Foot of a Chair She's Sitting on) Speaking of shopping, I was at the mall yesterday and stumbling upon this cute thing~ (Shows Shingo a Plushie of Himself Wearing his Old School Uniform)

Shingo: ('Gasps') No way! I have plushies of myself selling around your area!?

Ms. Yabuki: (Happily Nodded) Yep-Yep!~ I got from Build-A-Fighter Workshop. They sell all the well known fighters from that KOF tournament you'd always go to. In fact, words has it that you just so happens to become a fan favorite. Even more so than Shizuka and Saisyuu-San's boy~

Shingo: (Almost at a Loss For Words) ................I never thought I will ever happy to have my own marketable plushies up until now.

Kula: (Walks into the Room) Hey, Shingo, whatcha doin-(Gasps Loudly at the Sight of althea Shingo Plushie on his Laptop Screen) Oh my goooosh!~ (Quickly Makes her Way to the Sofa and Sits Next to Shingo) Is that a mini plushie of you!?~

Rock: (Walks into the Room Along with K Behind Him to Take a Look at the Plushie on Screen) It looks cute.

K': (Gives Shingo a Bit of a Teasing Smirk) And less obnoxious than the original.

Shingo: (Gives K' a Deadpinned Look on his Face) Gee, thanks, K'.

Mary: (Walks in the Room and Smacks K' Upside the Back of his Head) Quit being rude. (Gives Shingo a Reassuring Smile) Ignore him, kiddo, you're a sweetheart to be around.

Shingo: (Smiles Brightly) Thanks, Ms.Mary!

Kula: Yeah, Shingo, you're way more sweet and fun than Mr. Lazybone behind you!

K': Better being lazy than being a energetic brat like you.

Kula: blows a Raspberry at K' while white haired boy points two middle fingers at her up and down.

Rock: ('Sigh') Knock it off already, two......

Mary: Seriously........

Ms. Yabuki: (Giggles Softly) Oho my!~ Are these are the lovely friends you told so much about, Shingo honey?

Shingo: (Smiles Sheepishly) More or less, yeah.....(Turns to the Gang Besides and Behind Him) Hey, guys!

Everyone stops bantering to one another as they give Shingo his attention.

Shingo: (Presenting Everyone to his Mother) I'd like to finally introduce you to the beautiful saint of a woman who gave me and my sister life, my mom!

Ms. Yabuki: (Giggles Softly While Blushing and Playfully Waving Off) Oh dear~

Shingo: And mom, allow me to introduce you to my lovely friends! Kula Diamond.

Kula: [Happily Waves at Mrs. Yabuki on Screen) Hiiiii!~

Shingo: Rock Howard Bogard.

Rock: (Smiles Softly at the Screen) Pleased to meet you.

Shingo: K' Dash.

K': 'Sup.

Shingo: And another beautiful saint who's willing to put up with our shenanigans for longest time now: Blue Mary!

Mary: (Starts Blushing a Bit While Smiling a Little and Moving the Front of her Hair Back) Honestly, Shingo, I'm not THAT much of a saint.....Still, it's nice to finally meet you, Mrs. Yabuki. (Happily Bows to Shingo's Mother)

Ms. Yabuki: (Smiles Brightly) Likewise!~ (Clasps her Hands Together) I cannot thank you all enough for looking after my precious, baby boy in Southtown.

Shingo: (Starts Blushing in Embarrassment) Mooooom.....We talked about this. I'm not a little kid anymore......

Ms. Yabuki: I know we did, sweetie. (Uses the Edge of her Knuckles to Wipe a Few Tears Away From her Eyes) But it's so hard for mothers, such as myself, to accept that fact completely.

Mary: (Let's Out an Exhausted Sigh) Girl, I know the feeling! (Walks Over to Rock and Hugs Him) Our babies are growing up too fast....

Rock:: (Puts on a Deadpinned Look on his Face Before Sighing Again) You too, Mary?

Mary: (Pouts at her Rocky) Yes, me too! I helped your dad raised you since you were a little tyke and now here you are getting older as the years goes by and it's too freaking fast! I hate it!

Rock: Well, that's how life and reality works! Neither of us can change how fast time flies no how much either of us want to. (Smiles Softly) But even that won't change the fact that you're one of the most important people in my life.

Mary: (Heart Begins to Melt in Pure Happiness) Rocky......You're important to me too~ Always~ (Gives Rock a Kiss on the Cheek)

Shingo/Kula: AWWWWWW~

Ms. Yabuki: So precious~

K: Too cutesy for my liking.

Mary: Awww K'~ Are you feeling left out in the Hugfest already?~

K': (Scoffs While Crossing his Arms) Yeah, like I'd ever wanted to be involved in some hug-!? (Immediately Gets Pulled into Mary and Rock's Hug Before Sighing) fest.

Rock: (Smirks Playfully) Admit it. You're loving this right now.

K': (Rolls his Eyes) Well, it's not inherently the worse thing in the world-

Kula: GROUP HUGS!~ (Happily Joins in on the Hugfest Along with Shingo)

K': .......But you people are pushing it.

Kula: Oh don't be such a sour puss. Group Hugs are the best.

K': Yeah, for losers maybe.

Shingo: (Smirks Teasingly) Well, I don't see you trying to break free~

Kula: (Starts Giggling Softly) Which makes you a loser too!~

K': ('Tch') Please. I'm way more cooler than all of you in this room combined.

Rock: Even Terry?

K': ESPECIALLY Terry.

Mary: Yeah, right!

Kula: Get real!

Shingo: He's the Legendary Wolf for a reason, you know!?

Mrs. Yabuki giggles softly at the group's back and forth banter until a doorbell is heard in the house.

Mary: Huh. Looks like we got company.

K': Someone get the door.

Everyone: Not it!

K': (Puts on a Sly Smirk) Not it.

Rock: You did that on purpose, didn't you?

K': Yep. Now, get off, losers.

Everyone else groans and reluctantly breaks up the group hug as K' makes his way to the door.

K': (Opens the Door) Welcome to the Losers residence, with the expectation of yours truly.

Rock: (From the Room) Delusion will get you nowhere!

Leona: (Standing in Front of the Doorway as She Casually Crosses her Arms) K' Dash. Good to see you're still as blunt as always.

K': (Shrugs) Yeah, well, being around these dorks almost everyday will do that to ya. What brings you here?

Leona: I was given a free time to myself from the colonel, for the rest of the day and decided to spend the rest of it with you guys, if you're not too busy that is.

K': Nah. (Points at the Room Behind Him) We're not doing much either, except meeting Shingo's mom for the first time.

Leona: Wait......(Lowers Her Arms as Her Eyes Slowly Begins to Widened in Fear at the Realization) Shingo-Kun's mother is here!?

K': (Rubbing the Back of his Head Back and Forth) I mean, I wouldn't say she's here's physically if that's what you're worried about. We're only talking to her on video chat. (Turns Back to Leona as He Raises an Eyebrow) What are you doing?

Leona: (Straightens Up her Hair and Tidying the Clothes She's Wearing in a Bit of a Panicked State) H-How do I look? Decent? Above average? (Turbs Back to K') Remotely presentable!?

K': Relax, Heidern Jr., you look fine enough as it is.

Leona: Are you sure? I-I can run back and change of-

K': ('Sigh') Would you quit your worrying already? Of course, I'm sure. Have I ever been dishonest to you? On second thought, don't answer that.

Shingo: (Makes his Way to the Doorway) Hey, K', mom's about to tell us a story about- (Gasps Before Smiling at a Familiar Face in Front of Him) Leona-san!~

Leona: (Shyly Waves Hello to her Boyfriend With a Small Smile) H-Hi darling. I hope you've been doing well.

Shingo: (Smiles Brightly) I'm doing great today. What about you?

Leona: I-

K': Your homegirl here is getting cold feet over meeting your mom.

Leona: (Glares at Comrade) K'!

K': Hey, don't try and hide it now. It's way too obvious to ignore.

Leona: Well, y-yeah! But- (Catches K' Raising an Eyebrow at Her Again and Shingo's Now Worried Look on hie Face Before Sighing in Defeat) Nevermind. You speak the truth....

K': ('Hmph') Damn right I do. I'm the only non loser here after all.

Shingo: (Gives K' a Deadpinned Look on his Face) You're still going on about that?

K': (Starts Walking Back to the Room) Yeeeuuuup. And I ain't gonna stop either.

Shingo: Of course you won't. (Turns Bacl to his Girlfriend) Are you okay?

Leona: (Nodded To Shingo) I am. It's....just my nerves getting the better of me is all.

Shingo: Hey, trust me, I get it. I'm still nervous just thinking about meeting your dad one of these days in the future.

Leona: (Gives her Boyfriend the Cutest Pout Imaginable) Shingooooo!

Shingo: (Quickly Smiles Sheepishly) Sorry, sorry! I know you already told over and over again to not worry, but it's kinda hard not to when you got reminded to meet him in a month or two.

Leona: ('Sigh') I, again, apologize for that. (Scowls at the Thought of What Happened That Evening) It seems one of my superiors doesn't know the concept of keeping it to himself.....

Shingo: (Chuckles Lightly) Yeah, but it was bound to happen sooner or later, so it's no harm done. mostly. (Gently Grab Hold of Leona's Hands) Hey there's no need to worry. My mom is one of the most sweetest person in the wholewide world, there's no way she would think badly of you.

Leona: Even if my confidence will begin to crack?

Shingo: ESPECIALLY when your confidence starts cracking. You are dating her nervous wreck of a son after all~ (Playfully Winks at Leona)

Leona: (Giggles Softly) I am~ And I love him very much.

Shingo: I love you too~ (Gives Leona a Kiss on the Forehead)

?????: Shingo honey?

The couple turns around to see the gang coming towards the doorway, with Kula holding Shingo's laptop, having it and Mrs. Yabuki face towards her own son.

Ms. Yabuki: Is everything alright over her- (Suddenly Notices a Blue Haired Girl Standing Next to Shingo) Oh. Hello, dear. Who might you be?

Shingo: Mom, I'd like to introduce you to Leona Heidern, my girlfriend.

Leona: (Properly Bows to Shingo's Mother) Pleased to meet you, ma'am.

Ms. Yabuki: (Eyes Begins to Widened in Genuine Surprise as She Coves her Mouth) You are his girlfriend? (Eyes Begins to Tear Up) My baby boi?

Shingo: (Eyes Widened in Fear) Oh no.

Leona: Y-Yes. We've been together for quite a while now.

Kula: (Smiles Brightly) Four months to be exact!~

Mrs. Yabuki: Four months!? You moved here, made new friends, and got yourself a job at a coffee shop, and NOW here you are getting yourself a girlfriend for FOUR MONTHS!? Why are you growing up so fahahaahaaaaast!~ (Burst Out Crying)

Shingo: ('Sigh') And there it is......My mom, ladies and gentlemen.

Leona: (Giggles Softly) She seems to love her baby boi very much~

Shingo: (Rolls his Eyes) That she does. To an overbearing sense.....

Rock: (Starts Nodding to Shingo) I feel your pain, brother.

Mary: (Pouts at Rock Beside Him) Oh come on. I'm not THAT overbearing-

Rock: I learned how to rode a motorcycle for the first time with Terry teaching me yesterday.

Mary: (Slowly Turns to Rock With a Surprised Look on her Face as Her Eyes Begins to Tear Up as Well) R-Really?

Rock: Yep. Even got my license and everything. (Shows Mary his Official Motorcycle License)

Mary: MY BABY BOYYYYY!~ (Immediately Pulls Rock Into Another Hug as She Bursts Out Crying)

Rock: See? Same pain.

K': (Smirking the Whole Time) Admit it. You two love being Mommas' Boys.

Rock/Shingo: Shut up.

Ms. Yabuki: Leona, dear?

Leona: Yes, ma'am?

Ms. Yabuki: ('Sniff') I know this is too much to ask, but.....('Sniff') Would you mind hugging my only son for me please? ('Sniff') The very thought of him being far away from me aches my heart ever so~

Shingo: ('Sigh') Mom, it's not that big of a deal. We'll see each other again. Eventually...... And hopefully.

Ms. Yabuki: (Eyes Starts Watering Up Again) I hope so......

Leona: (Giggles Once More) I got you covered, Mrs. Yabuki. (Gives Shingo a Loving Hug) I've been wanting to hug him all day today, in fact~

Kula: (Givesthe Laptop to K' Before Joining in on the Shingo Hugfest) Me too!~ We love you, Shingo~

Shingo: (Let's Out Another Sigh Before Smiling Again) Love you guys too.

Revolutionize Your Customer Support with Live Video Calls

When website visitors struggle with questions or problems, they often abandon their journey instead of reaching out for help. Traditional text-based support can feel impersonal and limited when explaining complex issues. That's where live video call support changes everything.

Why Video Calls Transform Customer Support

Live video support connects your team directly with website visitors through face-to-face interaction. Unlike text chat alone, video calls allow agents to see exactly what customers are experiencing, making problem-solving faster and more effective.

Picture this: A customer struggles to set up a product they've purchased from your online store. Instead of exchanging multiple messages trying to describe the issue, they connect with your support team through a video call. Your agent can visually guide them through the setup process, point out specific parts, and confirm when everything looks correct.

Real Benefits You'll See Immediately

Faster Problem Resolution

When support agents can actually see what customers are looking at, they diagnose issues in a fraction of the time. This visual context eliminates the back-and-forth messages asking for clarifications or screenshots. Your team solves problems quickly, and customers get back to what they were doing without frustration.

Build Genuine Trust

Custom-branded video call links sent to customers appear professional and trustworthy. Customers recognize your brand instantly and feel confident clicking the link, knowing they're connecting with your legitimate support team. This personalized approach reinforces your credibility when customers need it most.

Reduce Operational Costs

Think about how many on-site visits your team conducts for issues that could potentially be resolved remotely. Each truck roll or technician visit costs significant time and money. Video support lets you help customers troubleshoot many problems without dispatching personnel to their location.

For example, router configurations, basic equipment troubleshooting, or product assembly questions can often be resolved through a quick video call rather than scheduling an in-person visit. This approach not only cuts costs but also reduces your company's carbon footprint by eliminating unnecessary travel.

Boost Team Efficiency

Support teams using video calls can handle more customer issues each day. The visual component dramatically speeds up communication, allowing agents to guide customers through solutions step-by-step while watching their progress in real-time. This efficiency means shorter wait times for all customers and less strain on your support team.

Enhance the Human Connection

Text-based support strips away the personal element of customer service. Video calls bring back the human connection that builds loyalty. When customers see a friendly face working to solve their problem, they feel valued rather than just another ticket number.

This personal connection transforms potentially negative experiences into positive interactions that strengthen customer relationships. Your team can show genuine empathy, celebrate successful resolutions, and create memorable moments that customers associate with your brand.

Make the Smart Move

Businesses implementing live video support see remarkable improvements in customer satisfaction scores, resolution times, and repeat purchase rates. The technology combines the convenience of remote support with the effectiveness of in-person assistance.

By connecting with customers through video when they need help most, you turn potential abandonment points into opportunities for demonstrating exceptional service. In today's competitive market, this level of support creates the differentiation that keeps customers coming back again and again.
