New Ties

[Nene]

The next day was busy as usual. Students roamed around the school, clueless as where to go. It was fourth and final year for them. The biggest event was the school dance. Boy had to ask the girl he fancied to go with him to school dance.

Taiki and Kiriha have already asked Nene and Akari to go with them. Most of the other boys in school have asked Airu-chan, but she had rejected them all. She had already given her heart to Yuu, and she wouldn't go to dance with anyone but him.

The problem was that Yuu was too introverted to ask her. This time, however, Taiki, Kiriha, Nene and Akari decided to do something about it.

"Listen up." Nene spoke into a phone. "You kidnap my brother and Airu Suzaki. Lock them in a room and don't let them out till he asks her to go to dance with him."

There was a laughter at the other end.

"My, my, Nene-san, you have turned into a matchmaker. Of course I will." the voice chuckled

Nene hung up the phone.

It was her old friend that she called. She met them after Taiki and Yuu returned from the Digital World. They brought Airu and some others along.

It was then that Yuu and Airu began hanging around. Airu was the first to break her brother out of his inner suffering. And Nene was really grateful for that.

"What now?"

"Now we follow Nene-san's orders."

As Airu and Yuu were leaving school, a green truck stopped in front of them.

Two boys stepped out.

"Hey, Airu, Yuu, don't you remember us?" asked the older one.

"Of course we do, Ryo. You have grown up quite a bit. And you too, Ren."

"Don't call me Ryo. It's Ryouma." said the older boy, smirking.

"You need to come with us." said Ren, smiling widely.

"Is this a kidnapping?"

"It's friends helping friends." Ren replied, winking at them.

Airu and Yuu shrugged, then entered the truck. Ryouma and Ren joined them at back seat.

"Wait, if you're here, who is driving?"

"You forget that we had a leader." said Ren

The driver turned towards them.

"Taiki-san!" exclaimed Yuu

"Yes, that's right." Taiki grinned at Airu and Yuu.

Despite having two leaders, Ren, Airu, Yuu and Ryouma only considered Taiki as their leader.

Finally, after driving for half and hour, they arrived to a small house.

Upon entering, they pushed Yuu and Airu into a bedroom, closed the door and locked it from the outside.

"Let us out!" Yuu exclaimed

"You have to ask Airu to go to graduation dance with you." was the reply

Yuu looked at cute girl standing next to him.

He looked at the table. There was a note.

He opened it and read it.

"Overcome your shyness, otouto. Your onee-san."

That's all it said.

Yuu looked at Airu again.

"Will you...will you go to graduation dance with me?" he asked feebly

"Of course I would." was Airu's reply

There was a sound of door being unlocked. The door opened. Nene and Taiki stood at the doorway, with Ryouma and Ren behind them.

"Congratulations, my otouto." said Nene.

"You too, Airu-chan." Taiki added

...

[Nene]

Wut?

[Talmon]

Ermm I'm not sure if I get the plot anymore :S

[Nene]

Something like matchmaking...

[Talmon]

Yeah but this doesnt link, like at all to the past fanfic O.o

[Nene]

What do you mean? Each fanfic is different from others.

Anyway, posted it on ff.net, so review it there.

[Talmon]

I mean you have posted it as a second chapter?

[Nene]

Anyway, review it on ff.net.

[Talmon]

Nene it's starting to feel like you are writing for reviews, more specifically my reviews. A writer should write because they have an idea bursting to get out. They should write because it makes them happy to see and read the finished product, others opinions shouldn't even matter. They should write because they want to.

[Nene]

Then stop reviewing and tell Magnamon to do the same...

[Talmon]

Nene you need to stop seeing it as black and white. You seem to think everyone is with you or everyone is against you. I have read everything Magna has said and the only times he has been derrogatory is when you have done it to him first. I'm not saying I won't review but asking for reviews rather than writing and just loving writing is not right. You need to go back to your roots and write something that is truly from the heart and that you truly enjoying every moment of writing. If you can't do this it might be best to leave your pen and paper alone until you change your ways of thinking. I've done nothing but give you the best advice I can possibly give time and time again, I have devoted literally hours upon hours to helping you. I think the tally must be up to atleast 48 hours by now. I've lost sleep because I'm worried that my words aren't getting through. I don't want to see a budding author fail because they aren't listening to critiques and adapting accordingly, I don't want to see you sad because you get bad reviews. I really think you need to just go back and listen to every single snippet of help you have ever been given and use it. Don't write a fanfiction, write something with unique, original characters+plotline and write it to let your imagination run wild. You need to enjoy writing, not live for the reviews that you get from it.

[Nene]

Well, this was written from my heart, you know. That's why I'm so upset that Magna is being picky.

[Talmon]

Nene I'm not debating this but from my point of view you seem to have lost the spirit of fanficcing/writing and fandom in general. It's to express ones love of the fandom, you create lots of fics (quantity) but imo you don't put all the love and attention into them that I know for a fact you can(quality). I have quite literally poured my heart out into helping you now so I don't think I'll be posting about this to continue this again. If you can't look at my view points with some level of respect I don't have the energy to try and help you.

[Nene]

Well, that's because Magnamon kept discouraging me!
