Shawn:
Hey Nicole, how's it been in Tokyo? Life's good in Okinawa. I just had to get away from there. Between mum, the art club, and Cherry, I thought I was going to hang myself. But don't worry, I left a you a little something to remember me by. Too bad it'll arrive in the next nine months.

*Takes another puff*

Shawn:
Anyway, heard that Casper and Emma are gone. Best of luck to them. Shuich, how's your author boytoy? Hope it's all good. Simon getting better? The sooner, the better for us all. Hope everyone else is good. Don't know when I'll get back or if I will. 'Til then, peace!

*Casper lies on a bed of white cotton sheets*

Casper:
Hi Simon. I am so sorry that I did this. I needed to get away. It's not your fault. I'm having a hard time at the moment.

*Sniffles and swallows down her pain*

Casper:
Lynn married a bad man. He tried... He tried to...

*Tries to fight back her dry tears*

Casper:
This man tried to molest me when I was younger on the night dad died. Now, he's back again. Lynn married him and moved him into our house. He tried to molester me again. I tried to tell Lynn, but she won't believe me! He's got her under his spell! She's head over heels for that creep! I just couldn't take being in that house any longer. So I ran away to Nagasaki. Althrough, things are not really good here...

*Trembles a little bit*

Casper:
My  current situation isn't any better. My aunt is a greedy, fat bitch. And my cousin... she's stupid and ugly. I treated up one hell for another.

*Sighs*

Casper:
But, what can I do? I don't know when I'll come back to Tokyo. Maybe Lynn will divorce over the summer. I hope... *Whispers* I have strong doubt about this one. Until then... I'll be in Nagasaki for the summer. Don't think it has anything to do with you. It's just problems with me. I still love you, Si.

*Peaches sits at Jin's kitchen table in a summer dress*

Peaches:
Hiya! My name is Ono Peaches and I am Ozawa Jin's girlfriend! Okay, my boyfriend's been acting depressed over these past few weeks. So, I paid him a visit to find out why. Turns out, his baby sister, Arisu, had ran away from home. Why? Jin had banned her from seeing her boyfriend, Sid Wilson. Such a tradegy to see young forbidden love.

*Sigh and dramatic type of faint*

Peaches:
Jin still can't get over Sid driving Arisu to attempt suicide because he broke her heart. That was last year. Just move on already. They are much better now, Jini! They will be already.

*Pause for a breath*

Peaches:
Anyway, Jin began to see his error and started making vid diaries to try and bring his baby sister home. Here, let me play one for you.

*Plays the disc*

Peaches:
Pretty desperate, huh? When those failed, Jin made nice with Sid for a moment and persuaded him to get her home. Turns out, Sid knew where the baby sister was all along. So now, Arisu is home, safe and sound! Yay! Now, that leaves Jin with more important things to worry about, like me! Speaking of which...

*Turns to the doorway as she stands up*

Peaches:
Oh, Jini! Momma Peaches needs love!

*Leaves the room*

*Nicole sits on her bed, glaring at the camera*

Nicole:
Hello, shite-head! Enjoying Okinawa? I hope you're not! You've screwed up my chance of going to Rome! I'm pregnant, no thanks to you! You just had to go and pin-prick the condoms, didn't you? Why?!? WHY?!?

*Tries to fight back her sick*

Nicole:
Oh god!

*Grabs a bucket and vomits in it*

Nicole:
See what you made me do?!? Mum and dad won't even let me abort the little brat! Mum says, "My parents wouldn't let me abort you when I was thirteen."

*Rolls her eyes*

Nicole:
Gee thanks, mum! The Murray mistake lives on! That's what happened to mum and dad, you know? Grandma made them get married because they couldn't have a child out of wedlock! Oh god, help me! If they put me through that... so help me!

*Forces herself to calm down*

Nicole:
The worst part is that you left me! Why is that I have to stay in Tokyo and you get to go to f*****g Okinawa! F**K YOU!!!! Have a nice life, loser!

*Jin sits on his back porch*

Jin:
Arisu! It's been close to a month. Your finals are coming up. Don't you care? Momma is drinking more and more because you are gone. I miss hearing your voice. I miss your scars. I miss... I miss you!

*Sniffles and tries to pull himself together long enough for him to talk*

Jin:
Peaches told me not to do this, but I can't keep quiet any longer. I just miss you at home. Look, I won't talk bad about Sid anymore. Heck, you can date him as much as you like. Just please. Please come home! Or at least call. I just want to know that you are alright. Just do that for me.

*Shawn sits on his bed, smoking a blunt*

Shawn:
She's not like her. Nicole is more of the type of girl I fancy. Fit, loud, rebellous, and smart. Cherry...

*Takes another puff*

Shawn:
I don't know about Cherry, mate. I don't know what I saw in her in the first place. Shite, I like her better when she is pissed and stoned. You know? Then, she's not such a bitch.

*Looks up at the ceiling*

Shawn:
Still, I can't leave Cherry. Why? I'll tell you lot exactly why! Her father owns the art gallery that my art hangs in. Yeah, I said that right. She and her family own my ass at the moment. If I dump Cherry, my art goes buh-bye out of the exhibit. So, yeah.

*Lies on his bed and takes about puff of the blunt*

Shawn:
So, what to do? Well, I have that fit Nicole Murray to save me. But, there is a problem now. She's going to Italy soon. Yep, I'm going to be stuck with Cherry for a whole year. I don't want that. So, I have to come up with a way to keep Nicole in Japan. Sure, I do want her to live out her dreams. I just want to keep her here a little bit longer.

*Sits up on his bed*

Shawn:
What?!? If you had to hang around Cherry, you would be trying to do the same thing! So, sue me!

*Jin sits at the kitchen table looking worried*

Jin:
*Bites his lip* Arisu, sweetie. It's been eight weeks. I know you are mad at me, but momma's starting to worry about you. She hasn't had a drink in weeks since you left. You haven't even been taking your medication since you left. Look, I'm sorry about what I said about Sid. But... he's just not good for you. You deserve so much more.

*Clenches his fists tightly*

Jin:
He even drove you to commit suicide last year. Now, you're dating him? Why? It doesn't make sense! There are plently of guys that will treat you better!

*Sighs and shakes his head*

Jin:
All I'm saying is come home and take your meds. Or at least call me to let me know that you're alright. If you do all of that,  I won't complain about Sid. Just please, talk to me.

Ando:
No way I'm here!

Ando:
There was Akiko. There was Sakura. And now, there's Ghost. *Shrug* And now, there's Ghost. Wow. You call algerbra or something. But damn, you should have seen me when this girl got freaky. *Sigh* Especially when she...

*Breathe and giggles*

Ando:
Especially when she licked my macadiminas. But, but she was totally nuts! She was using me to get to Shuichi! What the fuck?!? Number one: He's... he's homosexual and number two: He's with Yuki!

*Slaps his knee and sighs*

Ando:
And the true of the matter is, that... that life is no porno and... and a girl should not come between two close friends. I stop myself thinking of girls 24/7 and know practicing the act of tai-kon-do.

*Practices some moves while shouting. Falls off the bed*

Ando:
*Pant* Girls are bad! Girls are bad!

Ghost:
Hello, my name is Ghost and this is my submission for the Pop World's Magazine's Fan Devotion Section for the crash prize of the Fan Devotion Poetry contest. "An Ode to Shudo." By me.

*Ghost holds up a picture of a heart*

Ghost:
This was me, a blackened heart. It stinks, smoulders, and dies. It burnt, roast cod left in a hot oven or cole.

*Changes picture to a bigger heart*

Ghost:
This was me more recently. Hapless, hate-filled hopelessness, laced with less and less sythiseness. I flew face first into Ando's pants and what dwells there?

*Changes picture to a penis*

Ghost:
My nirvana! My mecha! Excitable and free! The part that had I'd been born with, I could conquer Shuichi homosexually. But alas, I lack a cock.

*Changes picture to half of Ando on a sunflower*

Ghost:
I have but half of what I deserve. A man that loves me true. But this to me is not enough. There's a plan I must push there. If closest to Shuichi I cannot grain through force of will alone, I'll combine the two in one.

*Pulls out the other half of the picture, this time with half of Shuichi on a sunflower and puts them together*

Ghost:
And make a Shudo clone.

Gabby:
I know you must have forgotten some numberous things since that awful accident. So, me and Suki K. have decided to make you a video so that you can remember the magic that is our relationship.

*Towel blows down behind her and she pushes it out of the way*

Gabby:
Babes, we used to have the sickest times together. Raving, popping pills together, and the sex was unreal! We were like the hottest couple ever, all the Tokyo peps were so jealous! I remember this one time we were like out and I was just having so much fun dancing.

*Pause*

Gabby:
Like this.

*Gets up and dances around a bit*

Gabby:
How sex did that just look? *Sighs* I am so hot right now! In both senses of the word. Anyway, so I was dancing and these rude boys came up to me and they were like grinding on me because they thought I was so hang. Babe, that means beautiful in ghetto language. I have like a whole new lango in HTG. Anyway, and so they were all like rauching on me. And I totally told them you were my man. They wouldn't leave me alone. So you were amazing and you came right up to them and in three seconds, they were gone.

*Smiles and sucks on her lollipop*

 Gabby:
Simon, my love! I just wish you could remember how much fun we had together. Anyway, my darling boyfriend, have to sadly leave you. Call me.

Okay, Suki K., let's sunbathe, I have to the most amazing tan line before Simon starts shagging me again.
