It was dark as there was nothing fire burns everyone around as Tadayoshi looks around in fear, trying to figure out what to do

Tadayoshi: No... not this again...

Everywhere he looks or goes, he sees more bodies fall in front of him. He tries to save them or at least do something but he is too late as they withered to dust. He tries to grab ahold of the stranger to protect them from whatever is happening but when he looks at his face, it was nothing but a withered face that scares him and drops the corpse which crumbles to dust

Tadayoshi: But I...

?: It's him!

?: The fallen god...

?: The demon...

?: The killer...

He looks around him as he sees a shadows figure getting up from the ground and slowly approaching him

Tadayoshi: No I-

?: Why did you have to take her away from me? She was just a child!

Tadayoshi: I-

?: You took everything from life! For what? For your beliefs?!

Tadayoshi: It's not-

?: You're nothing but a curse! Everywhere you go you bring nothing but destruction! Does this pleases you?!

Tadayoshi: No...

Soon more shadow figures begin to appear around Tadayoshi as they slowly approach him. Tadayoshi tries to back away from them but was surrounded by them and the fire growing closer to him

Tadayoshi: No, please...

?: Fallen god...

Tadayoshi: I'm not him... anymore...

?: Fallen god

Tadayoshi: Shut up...

Fallen God!

FALLEN GOD!

FALLEN GOD!

Tadayoshi: SHUT UP!

He quickly sits up straight in anger to realize he was in his bedroom and everything he saw wasn't real

Tadayoshi: *sigh* One of those damn dreams...

It's been a day since the slumber party with the day being over and Tadayoshi deciding not to go back to sleep as he didn't wanna risk going back to that dream and his bedroom was very hot

Tadayoshi: Summer heat wave must be hitting...

He gets out of his bedroom and makes his way downstairs to grab a bunch of water bottles in the fridge since he doesn't want to use the AC because of the cost to use it. Before he could go back up, he looks outside and see his pool to which he stops and think for a moment

Tadayoshi: ... Maybe a night dip won't be too bad

He sets down the water bottles quickly goes upstairs and then returns wearing a pair of swim pants but keeping his shirt on and heads outside where he dips his legs in

Tadayoshi: ... Not bad temperature

He dives in and starts swimming s around while feeling relaxed in the pool for a bit until swings over to the ledge where he could see the city part of Coltopia

Tadayoshi: This feels too much now that I think about it... Rachel gave me this shit that feels like it belongs to someone that deserves it... do I deserve this...

He then notices a floaty mattress on the side of the pool which he swims over and reaches out to grab it. Once it was in the pool, he gets on and lays back as he stares at the night sky as he ruminates about how far he's gotten

Tadayoshi: I wanted to start a normal life alone... yet I keep bumping into new people... that I don't want to get involved yet... but keep I chose to go be with them... why?... do I believe I can earn it... but I don't deserve it... or am I that desperate to change...

He remains quiet as he looks at his arms, remembering some old past, and then looks at the shirt, knowing what's underneath but he tries to ignore it and continues to look at the sky

Tadayoshi: Hey, gramps... wished you were here to tell me what to do... but I doubt you would... you were barely there for me... nor do I believe you care for me after I have gotten older... Can I... ever be a human again...

Tadayoshi Mind:

BeatBox: The truth will hurt a lot more if you keep hiding it! You have to tell them one day or it's gonna hurt them or even worse they might see you as... what everyone saw you before... and you'd be back to square one...

Diana: *sigh* Listen I'm here to help so if you do want to talk, just let me know... I will listen and help in whatever I can

Cassie: No... I won't run... You and Rachel have done so much for me... I pushed Rachel away because of my fear... I'm not going to lose someone who helped again!

Amber: You've become a very close friend of mine that I could talk about my problems without any worries... so I've got your back no matter what!

Vivian: Why? Because he's a Forgotten? I don't care! I'm going to be hangout with him and you can't stop me!

Alex: Promise me... you'll take the time and effort to get to know about those girls and your other friends...

Present time:

Tadayoshi: Would they still... trust me if I told them... the truth...

He lets out a yawn as he finally begins to feel tired and slowly shut his eyes, starting to fall asleep

Tadayoshi: No... they won't trust me... that's impossible...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Morning comes by as Diana wakes up and sits up to get a stretch only to find out how much she was sweating

Diana: Jeez it's hot in here...

She gets out of her bed and changes into some new short clothing and heads downstairs to see Amber laying on the table in exhaustion from the heat while eating cereal

Amber: Morning Diana!

Diana: Morning... are you eating cereal?

Amber: Yeah, you got a problem with that?

Diana: No it just surprises me since you're more of a warm breakfast person

Amber: Yeah but this heatwave is killing me! Eating something warm will just make the temperature worse

Diana: I guess, but you're right about the heatwave, my room was hot in there... Guess the summer is finally hitting

Amber: Yeah like a punch in the gut, I think I left my ass print on my bed when I woke up... we should go to the beach

Diana: We could but you know our plan!

Amber: Yeah yeah, we're saving some money for when fall or winter comes

Diana walks over to the kitchen where she grabs a bowl, spoon, and a gallon of milk and makes her way to the table that Amber is sitting

Diana: We just gotta think of something else to do. Can you pass me the cereal?

Amber: Yep

She slides the box of cereal over as Diana grabs it and she pours the cereal first and then the milk

Amber: Well before we start thinking, can we cancel our podcast today? I don't want to sit in the same spot and build up a pool of sweat on my ass!

Diana: Don't need to cancel it since it's not our day to do our podcast

Amber: Thank fucking god! Cause if I remember we had to talk about something about a disease appearing again.

Diana: You mean the CRAZE?

Amber: Yeah that one but now we don't we don't have to worry about work, what the hell are we supposed to do in this heatwave? I'm gonna melt if won't do something!

Diana: Well we can do some shopping, the stores will have ACs

Amber: But we don't really need to get anything, besides even if we do, we have to walk back home with our stuff.

Diana: We can have the limousine driver bring us.

Amber: I'm not wasting money on that limousine driver to just bring us back and forth, besides it takes him a second to get where we need to go and back

Diana: That is true...

Amber: Oh shit, I remember! Tadayoshi has a pool! Why don't we go there and cool ourselves off

Diana: Tadayoshi's?

Amber: Yeah! I'm sure he wouldn't mind if we borrow his pool and besides he can just invite us in for that

Diana: Sure, but I can call him to see if-

Amber: Nah let's surprise him! It'll be funny to see his reaction

Diana: But don't he locks the door so-

Amber: I have his key!

She goes through her pockets and pulls out a small house key to which Diana was surprised by this

Diana: He gave you a house key?

Amber: Oh no, I stole it

Diana: You what?!

Amber: Oh come on it's fine, I found out he had a bunch of spare house keys in one of his drawers when I went to hang out with him a couple of days ago. Don't think he even knows about it

Diana: Oh...

Amber: But let's just head there! It's pretty much our only option to survive!

Diana: I guess...

Amber: Great! I'm going to get my swimsuit! Do you want me to grab yours?

Diana: Yes, please

She quickly runs upstairs while Diana continues to eat her cereal. After a few minutes, she comes back down, wearing her one-piece swimsuit, and bringing down Diana's swimsuits

Diana: You already changed?

Amber: Yeah, I wanna immediately jump in there when we arrived, besides I'm saying to walk all the way there in these just wear your normal clothes to cover it so the fans that see us won't have to have their dicks cut off

Diana: Yeah, I'll get change after I eat

Amber: Better hurry 'cause I'm already ready to go!

Soon she finishes her cereal and puts the bowl in the sink, she takes her swimsuit, which was just her bikini, and enter the bathroom to change

Diana: "Amber has been talking about Tadayoshi a lot lately ever since the trip... I mean it's not a problem but... it kinda feels unfair that she gets to see him and I can't..."

Suddenly she realizes what she thinking and how she worded it which causes her to blush in embarrassment a bit as she slaps her cheeks

Diana: "Wait! Why am I wording it that way? I meant to go and help him! I want to give him some benefit!... But why is he fine talking to her and not me? Does he hate me?..."

After calming herself, she finishes changing and exits out with her clothes over her swimsuit and was prepared to go

Amber: You good?

Diana: Yeah

Amber: Hell yeah! Let's get going!

Soon they exit the house and start to make their way to Tadayoshi's place

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This story is interrupted by a chibi Vivian in front of a box fan, making noise to hear her voice vibrating

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After walking for a few minutes with Amber already exhausted and Diana being fine, they arrived at Tadayoshi's place to which Amber unlocks the door and quietly enter

Diana: Hello?

Amber: Shh! We gotta keep quiet if we wanna surprise him!

Diana: Yeah but... it doesn't feel like he's home- wait why are there 5 water bottles on the table?

Amber: ... It's warm, the hell did he-

Suddenly in the corner of Amber's eye, she notice Tadayoshi, who was still sleeping, on a floaty mattress in the pool. Amber couldn't help but smirks with an idea in her head

Amber: Found him!

Diana: You did? Where- oh

Amber: Pull out your phone! I wanna make an Instagram post!

Diana: Oh ok

Soon both Amber and Diana quickly take off their clothes with Diana in her bikini and Amber in a one-piece suit. They exit out the back door as Amber quietly enters the pool and swims over to where Tadayoshi is

Amber: Are you recording?

Diana: Yeah!

Amber: Yo, what's up followers! This is what happens if you fall asleep like this!

She turns and tries to tip over the floaty but starts to struggle to lift it. She tries to push up with all of her force but couldn't due to the weight and how she was swimming instead of standing on something

Diana: Do you need help, Ambie?

Amber: No- *huh*! I got it! I- Fuck!

She continues to push until stopping and pulling the floaty over to the shallow side of the pool for her to stand on to which she finally manages to flip the floaty over, causing Tadayoshi to fall into the pool

Amber: Gotcha!

Amber lets out a laugh while Diana lets out a little chuckle as Tadayoshi slowly emerges out of the water and wipes his face

Tadayoshi: ...

Amber: Ha! Ha! Oh god! That was funny than it was-

Tadayoshi: You bastards...

Soon Tadayoshi begins to speed walk toward Amber, to which she quickly tries to swim away from him

Diana: Run Ambie! Run!

Amber: Ahh! Wait! It was a prank!

Tadayoshi: You fucking broke into my house without knocking!

Amber: Wait- that's what your mad about?!

As Tadayoshi continues to chase Amber, Diana puts her phone down and grabs some pool noodles that were on the side of the pool, and dives into the pool. Soon she emerges beneath Amber and she was sitting on Diana's hips as she hands her the pool noodles

Amber: Wahahaha! Prepare for battle with the Line and Hook combo attack!

Soon begins to swing at Tadayoshi as tries to block their attack. They continue to have their pool battle until after a few hours Tadayoshi was lay on the pool floating while Amber was on the floaty mattress with a drink and shades on and Diana was taking some pictures

Tadayoshi: Do you have to take a picture at my place?

Diana: I mean, nothing wrong with that

Tadayoshi: Not if you're trying to help your crazy fans find my location

Amber: *pfff!* As if they could from a pool image

Tadayoshi: I have a gut feeling...

Diana: Sorry, I can just-

Tadayoshi: It's fine now, you two probably posted that video didn't you

Amber: ... Maybe

Tadayoshi: Of course...

Diana: How about a group photo guys?

Tadayoshi: No

Diana: Please! I promise I won't post it on social media!

Tadayoshi: *sigh* Fine

Diana: Sweet!

She gets back into the pool and gets close to Tadayoshi while Amber paddles the floaty over to appear in the background to make a peace sign as Diana takes the picture

Diana: I'll keep this as our memories!

Tadayoshi: A memory?

Diana: Yeah, you know... like a photo album to look back on some old fun time when we get older

Tadayoshi: You say that but we might not be friends in the future

Diana: Which is why I wanna keep this relationship we have going and make sure to not break it!

Tadayoshi: ...

Diana: Besides, I took some really good ones!

Tadayoshi look at Diana's phone and he sees a picture of them, one with Diana taking a selfie of Amber on top of Tadayoshi's shoulder, covering his eyes, one with Amber and Diana together with Tadayoshi in the background, and the last picture of Amber teasing Tadayoshi by throwing her ass at him and almost falling on Diana

Diana: I wanna at least enjoy the fun time we have until you finally get your hair color! Cause I'm sure you'd wanna go your ways when you find a purpose

Tadayoshi: Fun times... Is what we doing a "fun time?"

Amber: What kind of question is that?

Diana: Are you feeling joy in this pool with us?

Tadayoshi: ... Not sure

Amber: Ah don't feel so sour! You should be having fun! I mean you're chilling in a pool with some famous idols like us!

Tadayoshi: Ok but I don't see how that's fun

Diana: I think it's more of joy like most of our fans would want to hang out with us!

Amber: Yeah because of your voluptuous body

Diana: Hey... at least you have nice thighs that's a bonus, you know

Amber: Nobody cares about my big ass!

Tadayoshi: I'm moving away from this discussion...

He swims over to the edge of the pool and sat on the ledge to catch a break

Amber: Yo!

Tadayoshi: What?

Amber: Nothing, I can't chill out with a bro!

Tadayoshi: ... No

Amber: So what's the big deal with ya? Are you still mad that I barged into your place without-

Tadayoshi: No, it's just never thought I'd be doing something... fun

Amber: You sound like a robot...

Tadayoshi: Mmmm...

Amber: But if that's the case then it's not something I got to worry about for Diana! I don't want to deal with her worries

Tadayoshi: I know, just... feel weird...

Amber: Eh, you'll get used to it! But I also came here to show ya the video I posted online a few hours ago!

She grabs her phone and shows Tadayoshi the view as it already has a million views and likes on it

Amber: *chuckles* Still funny seeing your face fall in the water!

Tadayoshi: Yet comments are going all out on my ass...

Amber: Even past some angry comments, you do have some people laughing about your reaction in a good way! So at least they're not laughing at you as a Forgotten

Tadayoshi: Yeah... that reminds me

He gets up from the side of the pool and picks up Amber from her feet which catches her off guard and she blushes in embarrassment

Amber: What- hey! What's with this princess carry!? Damn, I didn't think you-

Suddenly, he tosses her into the pool and the water then splashed onto Diana, surprising her. Soon Amber emerges out of the water in anger

Amber: Hey! What the fuck was that for!?

Tadayoshi: That's for flipping me over!

Amber: Oh so you were mad about that!

Tadayoshi: No, just a small payback

Diana: *giggles*

Tadayoshi: You're getting a payback too!

Diana: What?

Soon Tadayoshi dives into the pool to which Diana quickly gets off the floaty to escape while Amber grabs a pool noodle to defend Diana with Amber and Diana begin laughing out of joy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun was starting to set as the night was near, with Amber and Diana, changing back into their clothing in the bathroom

Amber: Man that was refreshing!

Diana: Yeah, we were lucky he has one

Amber: Eh, thank Rachel since she was the one who bought him this place

Diana: True, by the way, was he alright before?

Amber: Yeah, I think it's just he felt weird about having fun. Still strange that he felt like that

Diana: Oh, that must mean it is progress of change! It makes sense for him to feel weird about it

Amber: I guess... (Didn't look like he was weirded out but more cautious)

Diana: Hm?

Amber: Nothing, just talking to myself

After they finished changing, they exit out of the bathroom to find Tadayoshi nowhere in sight

Amber: Yo Tada! We wanna say goodbye before we head out! Where are you at?

Diana: Maybe he's still changing

Amber: Perhaps, does he got anything to drink? Cause in thirsty!

She goes through the fridge to search for some water, only to find the fridge barely empty and a pulp of orange juice

Amber: This man got nothing but trash in here...

Diana: Maybe some in the cabinets?

Amber: I'll check!

She climbs on top of the counter since she couldn't reach it and opens them up only to find plates and bowls. She opens one of the cabinets to find a bunch of wine bottle

Amber: Holy shit!

Diana: What?

Amber: This man is stacked with wine!

Diana: Really? What kind?

Amber: They're... they're all Pinot Noir wine...

Diana: Pinot noir? The rare wine?!

Amber: Yeah, he has about... 25 bottles in here!

Diana: Why does he have so much?

Amber: I don't know but my family grandma did make these so... maybe he-

Tadayoshi: Hey!

They jump in surprise and quickly turn around to where Tadayoshi was standing by the stairs in a new change of clothing

Tadayoshi: The hell are you doing up there?

Amber: I was trying to find something to drink

Tadayoshi: I have orange juice in the fridge

Amber: Yeah but... it has pulps in there

Tadayoshi: ...

Amber: I hate pulps!

Tadayoshi: *sigh* Just get off of my counter, I have some water in the pantry

Amber: ... I mean I can just have-

Tadayoshi: No

Amber: *sigh* Fine

She hops off of the counter and goes to the pantry to grab a bottle of water as Tadayoshi goes to shut the cabinet

Diana: That clothing is new!

Tadayoshi: What?

Diana: Just the style of clothing?

Tadayoshi: I went clothes shopping before when I first moved...

Diana: Oh, it looks nice though

Tadayoshi: ... Thanks

Soon Amber returns with a bottle of water, chugging it down until she looks at the clothing Tadayoshi is wearing

Amber: *Chuckles* The clothing you're wearing makes you look like you cook weed in your basement

Tadayoshi: Oi...

Amber: But still look nice

Tadayoshi: ...

Diana: Well it's getting late so we should be heading back home before the night hits

Amber: Yeah, I gotta shower off the chlorine when I get back

Soon Amber and Diana walk to the doorway as Tadayoshi follows them out

Amber: We should go out some more! Had some fun with today! And made a lot of views with that video!

Tadayoshi: I'm not your fame maker...

Amber: I know but still enjoy these! Also, you got plans next week?

Tadayoshi: Busy that day, gotta meet up with someone

Amber: Seriously?! Out of all the time you were doing nothing, now you have to go somewhere with someone?! Bullshit!

Tadayoshi: It was already planned a while back

Amber: *tsk* Unfair

Diana: Well, thanks for letting us use your pool, and sorry for the breaking again

Tadayoshi: It's fine, you two have a goodnight

Diana: You too!

Soon Diana and Amber begin to make their way back home until Amber turns back to Tadayoshi

Amber: Hey! I ain't good at approaching hard to get ya know!

Tadayoshi: ...

Amber: I'll see you later, Tada!

As Amber turns back to walk with Diana, Tadayoshi enters back inside with a bit of confusion on his face

Tadayoshi: Dafqu does that mean?...

Meanwhile, Diana noticed Amber with a bit of annoyance and disappointment on her face which she couldn't help but ask

Diana: You upset that you couldn't hang out with him?

Amber: Yeah, of course the bastard rejected, saying he has to meet with someone next week. Who the hell is he even meeting up with next week?

Diana: I mean, you should be happy! He sounds like he's making progress

Amber: Yeah, I could've at least been part of that progress...

Diana: You... seem very eager with being with him

Amber: *tsk* It's not my fault that I fell in love with that fucking aloof man...

Diana: ... What?

Amber: What?

Diana: ...

Amber: ...

Diana: ...

Amber: ... Ah shit... I said it...
