Chapter one

The male and the female, who were known as Terence and Astrid started to move towards the taxi awaiting them. While waiting for the two that were just stepping into the taxi, the three that were left over started to discuss the events of a couple of years ago, when their friend committed suicide. “He can’t have died” “He did, it was obvious” “No, no, I still don’t believe it” “Well we don’t even know the cause of his death, actually, I’ve basically forgotten about it” “Who’d know?” “Any of his close friends could know…” “Were any of us one of his close friends?” “No.” “Do you remember when I tried to get him killed wit—I mean, paired… strange.” “You tried to kill him and someone else?” “No, why would I?” “Because you could…?” “No, I couldn’t… I wonder whether anyone else thinks that it was possible that I could…”

Seconds later, no reply came from any of the three, so one of them walked off...

“Nica, wait up, I’m coming with you” “What for? I might kill you…” “I didn’t mean it like that” “Fine then, what DID you mean?” “I meant… that it would be awesome if you killed someone” “Oh riiiight” she replied sarcastically. “Alex, come with us too, we’ll go visit Astrid and Terence now.”

On the opposite side of the world… two females were discussing boys, jobs and boys. “Okay Margie, your turn, truth or dare?” “Hmm… truth!” “Out of all the males on PC, which one meant the most to you?” “Rachy! I can’t answer that.” “Why not… too chicken?” “Ugh… no, I don’t want to answer.” “Fine, well my turn.” “Okay, truth or dare?” “Dare” “I dare you… to travel to Australia.” “Oh my God, how am I supposed to do that?” “Taxi?” the girl laughed under her breath. “Well… I can’t do that either. This game sucks. We should do something.” “Like… ?” “No clue.” The two girls just sat down and started to look bored.

Back in Australia… Astrid and Terence met up with the other three. “Okay so, hi Nica! Who are the other two?” “I’m Alex, and this is Garret” “Okay, hi!”

Moments later, after the initial greetings, each of the five settled down and began to discuss anything that popped into their minds. Like the other two, these five were willing to play truth and dare too. “Truth” “… you really want the truth?” “Yes… and no, I’m the one answering, no duh. I’ll be giving you the truth.” “Yeah, whatever… um… the question is, who do you like more, my country or yours?” “Well that’s a stupid question.” “Are you intending to answer?” “Not this year, maybe sometime later.” “Now, I shall ask you… truth or dare?” “Um… dare.” “Ooh, interesting” one added in. “Yes well, the dare is?” “See that old man over there?” “Uh huh.” “Well, I dare you to go hug him.” “You… can’t… be… serious.” “Oh yes I can. So, willing to?” “Make it a double dare and I’ll think about it.” “Nope, you’re on your own.” “Damn you…” “Yes, yes, now… hugging time!” “Ugh.”

Introduction...

“I just can’t deal with the world anymore… it’s just too… unfair.” “What do you plan to do, kill yourself?” “… well, what else could I possibly do?” “Move on and forget about your problems, then look to the future… ?” “No… that would be too hard to forget…” “You just can’t…” “Oh, but I can…”

“We mourn the death of Andy, a member of a forum, and nothing much else, we shall miss him…”

“Plus, I’m totally bored right now.” An instant message conversation was going on between various members of the Pokémon site, PokéCommunity on windows messenger. Suddenly, the repetitive conversation came to a close as some news was brought to attention. “TSA IS DEAD!!!” “What?! No, it can’t be true…” “It is, read this” it contained information on obituaries throughout the world, the member came to the conclusion that his friend was dead because of the fine print. ‘The Solitary Angel, will no longer be around, as he is dead, suicide committed last night at 10:38 PM.’ “I thought they weren’t allowed to post internet identities? O_o” “Obviously they are…” For a short couple of moments, all the members of the forum in that conversation went blank… their friend was gone. “Wait” a sudden reply came from a member of the forum, Bellossom Forums. “Why were you searching up deaths?” “Because… I… I had a dream that this would happen.” Another member replied, “Zet, you’re just crazy, you know that right?” “No… I’m not crazy, it’s the truth”

Three years after the death of the PokéCommunity member, The Solitary Angel, another member of the forum was boarding the plane, while four others were preparing to greet that member.

“I can’t wait, seriously, I’m going to meet some of my friends” “Are you being sarcastic, enthusiastic or otherwise?” “Um… all three.” She giggled.

Twelve hours later, an eager, 15 year old, female took her first steps outside of the plane. “Now, where did they say they were waiting? Oh, at the local shops, how do I know who they are though?” A 20 year old male stepped up to this girl” … your online name was firstly Mikami, am I correct?” “Yes, you are, who might you be?” “I was your pair due to someone wanting you to go with someone you didn’t love” She whispered under her breath “TSA…” The girl looked down, and then slowly wiped a tear from her eye. “Anyway, hi, it’s great to finally meet you!”

Three other members of the PokéCommunity were standing nearby, waiting patiently for their friend to arrive. A little while ago, two of the three travelled out to a new location, their online usernames at the time of TSA's death were Kenji-kun and Flavaquil, but they weren’t 100% willing to travel at first, but, because they were 18, they thought they would have less issues travelling now, than that they would have had before, even though one of the two hadn’t been 18 for long, he still thought he could handle travel, that is, without anyone accompanying him… and without any help at all.

Yes, the three members were prepared to meet their friend, as were the other two.
