"And done! Only took 58 hours to sync everything...phew." You were exhausted having spent the last 2 days finishing the final episode of season 4; but you had work in less than 4 hours so you knew falling asleep now wouldn't be a good idea. You grabbed your phone and wireless headphones and headed out for a bike ride.

The mistake that people often make about loners is that they hate being around other people, so they don't have any kind of hobbies that deal with the outdoors. While that was true for many, you on the other hand enjoyed bike riding. It was good exercise and kept you in a size 10 pair of jeans. In the town you lived in All Blue, it was a seaside town. A big tourist attraction and only 15 miles away from Sabody where all the fun happened. It had some of the best seafood, music and art in the world. Plus many ancient historical artifacts were found here.

There were a lot of trails some that went into that mountains, the flower fields and through town. Your absolute favorite though was the ones that ran along the coast line. It was what inspired your latest series on Alabaster.

As you were riding you stopped here and there to take photos of the rising sun at different times to see the variety of colors. It also got you thinking about how you'd started this whole thing in the first place. Yes 'A Ghostly Girls Adventures' had been the very beginning for everything, but that wasn't what inspired your newest series.

You were sitting at your desk in your history class, waiting for the teacher to arrive. You were drawing in one of your newer sketch books that you'd gotten from work.

"Y/N!!! Y/N! Y/N! Y/N!" Your best and only friend Perona came racing into the classroom.

"Did you get asked out again?" You couldn't help but tease her, she was an amateur model for a local clothing line but she'd recently appeared in a big time magazine. SMILE, owned by a guy who you couldn't remember but apparently he used to be a local here in All Blue.

"What no?! I'm starting my own clothing line!!! I've decided to go to the School of Fashion on Amazon island!!!!"

"What?!" But really what? You thought she would stay with you, you both would get an apartment together she would model and you would be the artist. A part of you wanted to cry.

"Be happy for me please?" You couldn't not be happy for her, this had always been her dream and she was finally able to achieve it. You didn't want to be a ball and chain, keeping her here cause you were too scared to venture out.

"Okay. Shakky's cafe? My treat?"

"OMG YES!!! She is introducing a new menu I'm excited!!!"

You left school with Perona feeling a little bittersweet. On one hand you were over the moon for her, on the other you felt a little betrayed.

God I'm a horrible friend! She'll come visit me whenever she can it's not the end of the world!

They say that bad things came in three and back then that was number 1. Number 2 and 3 were bad things disguised as good. You checked your watch and saw that you needed to head home to shower and today was one of those days where makeup would be required so you didn't look like a zombie. The next song popped on and you sang along.

"Honey why you calling me so late? It's kind of hard to talk right now. Honey why you crying? Is everything okay? I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud. Well my girl's in the next room, sometimes I wish she was you, I guess we never really moved on. It's really good to hear your voice, saying my name it sounds so sweet. Coming from the lips of an angel hearing those words it makes me weak, and I never wanna say goodbye. But girl you make it hard to be faithful, with the lips of an angel."

You were belting out the notes to the song seeing as how no one else was around, back in the day Perona and you would do karaoke, she wasn't all that great and when the system kept score you usually always won.

You were so lost in your own little world you failed to notice the joggers above you on the second trail. Watching and listening to you.

"Hey she's got good pipes we should get her to do the duet you wrote the other day Heat."

"Yeah...but that song is something I wrote for 'A pirate's true desires.' I haven't even pitched it to DA03 yet."

"Get her to sing with you and I guarantee she'll want to use it for the starting theme."

Heat considered that thought, in all honestly Heat had written an entire album for the show. DarkAngel03 used stitched together music from classic songs back from the early 1700's to fit with the time of the show. He always felt it was a shame that she didn't commission someone to write the music. Staring back at you though you finished the final chorus singing it stronger and more confident.

"It's really good to hear your voice saying my name it sounds so sweet! Coming from the lips of an angel hearing those words it makes me weak."

"Only in the shower huh?" He chuckled to himself to began running again with his friend a few paces behind him.

<At the bookstore>

It had been a rough morning, not only were you exhausted and running on fumes but you'd gotten an email from someone who you'd hoped you'd never have to hear from again. SMILE CORP. They'd sent you an email asking to buy the rights to 'A Pirates True Desires,' and the figure they gave you was insane. But you'd replies back saying that you would never sell and you would appreciate if they never contacted you again.

They did, five minutes later this was the email you'd been sent.

While we understand to want to do things on your own, we feel we could help you do better and ask that you consider our offer a little more before saying no.

Thank you

SMILE TALENT DIRECTOR
Dinaminte

Go fuck yourself asshole.

You sent the same reply and then proceeded to send a complaint to Alabaster along with the screen shots and then blocked the contact.

Been there done that you assholes nearly destroyed my passion to draw and paint all together!

~3 years ago~

You and Perona graduated, she was leaving for school in 12 weeks and then you wouldn't see her again until Christmas break, the longest apart you two had ever been.

You started to draw an animation about your situation when you had free time away from work. On the day that Perona was supposed to leave you'd gotten an email in your personal account and it seemed like a scam.

Dear Ms. L/N Y/N,
We recently were given a copy of your newest animation adventure, "Lost Girls" and we liked the initial layout so much we would like to offer you a job at SMILE Entertainment industries. Where you could draw for our creators as well as yourself. All my contact information is below.

You deleted it and went to the ferry to say goodbye to your friend. You both cried a lot and then she was off. You stood there watching the boat slowly take her away.

YA few weeks later you'd forgotten all about the email, focused on your job and your art and that was your whole life. Benn started to worry about you and suggested you take some classes at the local junior college. You said you would think about it before resuming your day to day life.

You heard the door chime and said your greetings and then heard someone approach the front desk.

"Hello, I am looking for Ms. L/N Y/N." This guy was tall lanky and wore really weird makeup. You almost didn't want to tell him it was you he was looking for but he saw your name tag and looked relieved. "Ah is that you?" You reluctantly nodded your head. He took out a card from his pocket and introduced himself.

"Diamante from SMILE corporation. I would like to discuss with you a business opportunity regarding your animations." You took a breath and took his card, and put it in your pocket.

"As I've replied sir I'm not interested."

"You haven't even heard me pitch yet?"

"You gave it in your email, and I'm currently working right now. So I'm not available as of right now."

"Well when will you be available?" You took his card out.

"I have your number I'll call you when I'm available."

"And what if I'm not available?" You shrugged your shoulders.

"Then I guess you didn't really need me to work for you all that much." He chuffed and then walked out.

You were checking inventory when your phone dinged again. This time it was Captain Jack. His email's title was:
Music 🎶
Hello DA03. I can't wait to see the episode next week. I wanted to ask you though if you wouldn't mind delaying it for an additional week though? Because I have been thinking about this for a while, I would like to write the music for the show. I have sent you a tape of a sample of what I've written. I have to themes for the pirates, the marines and then for Captain Jack and also a beginning theme. Have a listen and let me know what you think!
Thank-you
Captain Jack

You were shocked, you didn't know the voice actor for your main character could write music. You decided to listen to it when you got home. In truth you had been debating on commissioning someone to write original but that would cost an arm and a leg cause writing music, you assumed was hard.

The rest of your work day was filled with college students rushing to get their final projects together before summer break, and for some it would be the last time they came in. You were busy up until closing. However students kept coming in asking for you to stay open a little longer.

"Y/N I'm sorry but I really need to go. My sister is picking me up and she'll get pissy if I'm late."

"It's okay you can go. I'll stay open until 11 pm."

"You sure?"

"Yeah it's been a crazy day go home and relax I'll see you tomorrow." She squealed and then hugged you. You gave her a few pats before she let go.

"Thanks Y/N! I'll buy you a coffee someday!" You waved before hand making a sign that gave people an extra hour to come in.

Right before closing someone came rushing in out of breath.

"Phew! I thought I didn't make it!" He had black hair, freckles and brown eyes. He turned to you and smiled, he was cute but not your type. "Hey thanks for staying open! I though I was in big trouble! Huh? Where's Nami?" Wait his voice...no way.

"She left already. I gotta close the registers here in 5 minutes." You checked your watch and knew it was going to be another late night.

"Oh yeah! Be right back!" His voice it couldn't be...there was no way. "Alright I'll buy this and get out of your hair. Ugh why did I go to college? Oh well as Vice Captain Wrath says 'to hell I go willingly.' Right?"

No fucking way!!! He's the voice actor for Wrath???!!!!!

"Oh yeah, I watch that series too."

"Yeah? DarkAngel is amazing! I couldn't find a job cause I have a medical condition but she's really helped me a lot." He smiled then checked his watch. "Oh crap you're closed!"

"I'm going to turn off the lights and lock the door but go ahead and get what you need I distracted you."

"You're amazing thanks I'll make it quick!"

Wow...somehow I didn't imagine the VA for Wrath to be so chipper.

Wrath was a pretty depressing character so to see someone so happy play him was surprising. When he came back with his stuff you rang him up quickly.

"Thank you for voicing one of my favorite characters from the show." You couldn't help but say it.

"Awe you're welcome! Have a good night!"

An hour later you were finally able to go home. Just as you were about to take your bike off the lock something or rather someone made a loud noise.

"BOOM!"

"Aaahhh!!" It should also be said that you fell over your bike onto your side cutting up your palm and bruising your left hip. "Ouch..."

"Ah shit my bad! You good?"

"Kid what did you do?"

"I scared her and she fell over." The one called Kid was helping you stand.

"Seriously Kid?" The blonde came and lifted your bike.

"Huh? Y/N?" That voice had you looking up so fast you gave your neck whip lash.

"Heat?"
