One Fresh, No Fresh (Chapter 5)

Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait, I couldn’t figure out how to end this chapter. I also didn’t have a lot of free time, due to having a project in my digital media class. But hey, look! It’s here! I also did that city because I remembered that video of the hot air balloons that CQ did, right here. This is also the longest chapter I’ve ever done, ahead of chapter 4 by 30 words. But without any delay, lets get to it!

Fresh, Geno, and Error belong to @loverofpiggies

MommaCQ and herself belong to @alainaprana

Other characters and story belong to me, @leiselpizzatale

Fresh looked to the side, reading the sign that said, “Welcome to New Mexico.” Even if he was only a skeleton, he felt butterflies where his stomach should be. During the ride, he just felt empty, like he was before he... Fresh shook his head. Nope. Not going to think that right now.

Looking at the road, Fresh reached Alaina with one hand, shaking her. Alaina groaned, before mumbling, “Are we there yet?”

Fresh chuckled, saying, “Not yet. Mah house is in Albuquerque.  I just wanted some company right now.”

Alaina smiled. “You got butterflies in your stomach or something?”

Fresh chuckled. “Jokes on ya, I have no stomach.” He then lifted his shirt, revealing his spine, no stomach to be found. He then started blushing, before letting go of his shirt, putting his hands on the wheel, silent.

After taking a huge breath, he said, “What would they think of me, when they see me?”

Alaina chuckled, saying, “Well, I bet your mother would be so happy that your home. She would also see how much of a gentleman you are. I bet Error would be surprised at how much you can feel now.” She sighed, saying, “And I bet Geno would feel accomplished, because he never gave up on you.”

“You don’t know that.” Fresh mumbled.

“I don’t. But it’s better to think of the best, instead of the worse.”

Fresh smiled. She was right. He shouldn’t feel so depressed. He was going to see his family, and he had nothing to worry about. He was just going to meet his family. It’s not like they were going to kill him or anything. Error on the other hand…

Fresh shook his head. No, he wasn’t going to go there. Ugh, he needed to sleep a bit. “Hey Alaina, can you drive for a while? I’m starting to feel tired.”

“Sure Fresh. I’ll wake you when we get to your hometown.”

So, after switching seats, Fresh laid back, wanting to rest for what will happen.

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

“Fresh, wake up. We’re here.” Fresh opened his eye sockets, wincing at the bright light of the sun. He lifted his seat, so he could sit upright, yawning as he did so. Looking out, he saw that they just passed the toll booth and were on the edge of town.

“Hey, let me drive. It’s mah turn.”

After switching, Fresh drove, until he stopped in front of a house.

“Is this your house?” Alaina asked.

“Nah, “Fresh replied. “This is my Uncles’. Hopefully, he didn’t move or anything.”

Turning off the ignition, Fresh got out of the car, before heading to the door, Alaina following him. Once at the door, he knocked it, doing the ‘shave and a haircut’ one. In the house, he heard a muffled “Coming!” before the door opened.

“Hey Error, your pre-“ Asy said, before stopping, seeing Fresh. For a while, neither of them moved nor spoke, just staring into each other’s eyes.

Their staring contest broke when Asy shook his head, pinching in between his eye sockets, whispering “Please don’t let this be a hallucination." Then, Asy reached out, knocking against his skull.

“Knock knock”

Fresh, confused, said, “Who’s there?”

“Noog”

“Noog who?”

Then, Asy grabbed Fresh’s arm, pulling him close, before yelling, “NOOGIE!” Right away, he started rubbing his fist on top of Fresh’s head. Fresh gave a yell, shouting, “Uncle Asy, no! Don’t noogie me!”

Asy laughed, saying, “Nope! This is your punishment for suddenly disappearing for 13 years with no contact!” He then looked up, seeing Alaina, who was laughing at them. “And who is this lovely lady?”

Seeing him distracted, Fresh pulled out of Asy’s arms. Breathing heavily, he replied, “This lady, Uncle Asy, is mah fiancée.”

“Ooh, how fancy,” Asy said, “Well, don’t want a pretty lady like you to keep standing. Come in, come in. I’ll get something for you to drink.”

While following Asy to the living room, Alaina turned to Fresh, whispering, “Is he always like this?”

Fresh shook his head, saying, “Only when he’s in a good mood,”

Alaina giggled, saying, “Does he hurt himself when he’s in a good mood? I’ve seen all those bandages and scars and- Fresh?” Alaina looked back to Fresh, who stopped, looking down. “Fresh, what’s wrong?”

Fresh looked at Alaina, a serious look on his face, before saying, “He doesn’t hurt himself when he’s in a good mood. He only does it when he’s in a terrible mood. Promise me, Alaina, that you wouldn’t ask him about his scars.”

Alaina nodded, before sitting down on the couch. Asy then went into the room, a cup of water in each hand, while another is floating next to his head.

“Here you are, “Asy said. After saying thank you, Alaina took a cup, before started drinking.

After Fresh took a sip of his own cup, he asked, “Hey, Uncle Asy? I heard ya saying somethin’ ‘bout Error at the door?”

Sitting down, Asy replied, “Yeah. Since you left, Error has been going fishing with me. It’s very relaxing. It’s almost time to go to fishing, anyway.”

As if saying his name will summon him, a doorbell rang, before they heard, “Come on Uncle Asy! We better go, if we want to even get a bite!”

Quickly, Asy pushed Fresh and Alaina into his bedroom. Before closing the door, Asy said, “Stay in here until we both leave. Then, you can watch T.V. until I come back. I usually drop him off at his house, so don’t worry.”

Closing the door, Asy walked into the living room, grabbing the fishing box while doing so. Opening the door, he stopped Error's hand from knocking on him instead.

“Are ready to go fishing?” Asy asked.

Error smiled, saying, “Yup! Let’s go!” before running to the car. Chuckling, Asy followed.

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

“He’s not coming back, is he?”

Asy jolted awake, almost dropping his fishing pole. “Huh? What was that, Error?”

Error reeled in his line, before throwing in the pond again. “Fresh. He’s never coming back, is he?”

Asy just smiled, saying, “He’ll come back before you know it.” He didn’t like lying, but he wanted Fresh coming back to be a surprise.

“YOU DON’T KNOW THAT!” Error yelled, throwing the entire pole into the pond. He then fell to his knees, tears in his eyes. Asy bended down, rubbing Error’s back.

“It’s all my fault.” Error whimpered out.

“No it’s not, it’s not anyone’s fault, “ Asy told Error.

“Yes it is,” Error said. “If I didn’t make him promise, none of this would ever happen. Now he’s probably in an alley, starving to death, too weak to call for anyone.”

Asy then bended down farther, and then hugged Error. “You know that he’s smart. He’s probably at a very fancy job, making lots of money. Besides, you would never know what would’ve happened if he doesn’t. Geno could’ve died by his sickness, maybe not. You never know what can or can’t happen if you somehow change what your actions are.”

After thinking a bit, he asked, “Remember that movie I made you watch when you were kids, ‘Back to the Future’?” Error nodded. “Well, it’s exactly that. With him going back to 1955, Marty’s own mother loved him more than his father, and he needed to do that plan with his father to get her to love her future husband instead. But, then Biff came, and almost ruined the entire plan. They never thought to bring Biff in the picture. Time is a hard and complicated thing. But we have to go through it, just like ever hard thing in life.”

After a couple minutes of silence (besides Error crying), they pulled away, Error wiping a tear from his eye socket. “Thanks Uncle Asy. I needed that.”

“Not a problem Error. Now, “ Asy looked into the pond, “Now, Let’s go get that fishing pole.”

"Okay." Error said. Then, something popped in his head. "Hey, whose car was that in front of your house?"

Asy was half-way to pulling his shirt off when Error asked. "Wha- What do you mean?"

"Yeah, there was a car in front of your house. Who's was it?"

Nervously, Asy replied, "Oh! That! Um, I think it was one of the neighbor’s friends or something. Don't worry; I'll file a complaint later." He chuckled.

Error has a feeling like his Uncle was lying, but couldn’t put his finger on why he was lying. Faking a chuckle, he replied, “Alright. And while you do that, I’ll go get our fishing pole.”

Uncle Asy, what are you hiding?

I have a scar on my forehead from when I accidentally crashed into a church bench in the church basement when I was 8. I only needed to get three stitches for it, and now you can barely see it unless you get close to my forehead (which is super easy cause I'm so short).

fixed it

Creator of Powerful Peace... Haha, I try to be 😂

Uhh, @theodd1sout? You might want to see this.

So when my sister and I were little, we would look at videos from YouTube, and this one caught me and my sister's eye. It's called harmonic dream, and we loved it. There is another one called pipe dream, but we loved this one better. This is one of the things that made me into the person I am today.

One Fresh, No Fresh (Chapter 8)

Yeah!I finally got this chapter done! At first, I wanted to have this the longest chapter yet, with over 2,000 words, but I felt like it just kept dragging on, so I split the one chapter into two. So, expect the next chapter next week! After this, there will be two more chapters, before this one is over. I don’t know what I’ll be doing after this, but I’ll figure something out. But anyway, lets get to it.

Asy belongs to @furgemancs

Fresh, Geno, and Error belong to @loverofpiggies

MommaCQ and herself belong to @alainaprana​

Ink (mentioned) belongs to @comyet​

Other characters and story belong to me, @leiselpizzatale​

Warning: Mentioned suicide, blood, blood clots, cancer.

"Ugh. Uncle Asy, the tie feels really tight." Fresh said, annoyed.

"It's not. Now hold still, I need to straighten this." Asy replied.

Fresh sighed, then tried to stay as still as his rattling bones will allow. It was the evening of seeing his brothers after so long. After setting up a reservation for 6 (with two on a temporary separate table), CQ called Geno and Error, telling them that she 'hasn't seen the whole family in a while' and 'want to get together for dinner'.

Finishing on the tie, Asy stepped back, seeing his work on Fresh. Fresh was wearing a light blue suit, with a neon-colored tie. Asy was wearing the same thing, except that his suit was a darker blue, and his tie had pictures of Band-Aids on it.

*knock knock*

"Are you guys almost ready? You know we have to be there before Geno and Error," Alaina's muffled voice said from the door.

"Yup!" Asy exclaimed.

"Yeah, we're ready. You?" Fresh asked.

"Would I be here if I wasn't?" Alaina asked back.

"No, you wouldn't," Fresh said, laughing.

After getting in Asy's car, they drove to the restaurant. After telling them what's going to happen, the host agreed, and set the tables to its places for the surprise.

Soon enough, Fresh heard footsteps from multiple people, and there...

Fresh froze. He couldn't think, couldn't move. He just stared at the three people who were walking to their table. The two skeletons gave his best attention however. They were both wearing suits, though one was also wearing a red scarf, while the other looked like the suit had a hood on it. Before he could get to see them more, a menu suddenly pops in front of his face, obscuring his view on his brothers.

Lowering it down slightly, Fresh saw that Alaina was the one who put the menu in front of his face. He also saw that she looked very worried.

“Hey, are you okay? You froze, and they would’ve seen you staring if they turned around,” Alaina said.

Fresh lowered his head, nodding. She was right. Because he froze, he could’ve ruined the plan.  “Y-yeah. I’m okay.” He finally answered.

After the slight screw up, they went and did everything as if they weren’t on a secret mission or something. They ate their food, and when it was almost time for dessert, Fresh got out his phone.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Geno P.O.V ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

He was having fun with his family. It was a great idea that his mother decided to bring the whole family. They would’ve brought Ink and his mother, but they were out of town to sell some of Ink’s new line of art. It was too bad, because Ink was like a brother-cousin, even though he wasn’t his cousin or his brother. If only-

Suddenly, his phone was starting to ring. He looked at it, but he didn’t know the number.

“Heh. Sorry guys, I have to take this.” Geno said.

CQ shrugged it off. “Don’t worry, you don’t have to leave to take the call. Right Asy?”

Asy nodded. “Yup. Go take the call. Who knows, it might be important.”

Geno knew they were acting suspicious, but he answered the phone anyway. “Hello?”

“Hello. Is this Geno Queen?” The man on the phone asks.

“Yes, this is Geno.” Geno replied.

“Oh, that’s good. Um, I was wondering if you would like to be interviewed? It’s for a grade I have to do.” The person asks.

“Sure. When should we meet?” Geno asks.

“Oh, no, I was wondering if we could interview now. I’m shy, and I only joined this class because I wanted to learn to edit stuff. I already have the microphone set up and recording.”

“…Oh.” Geno said after thinking, “I… guess I could do it now.”

“Great! Okay, first question. Who is in your family?” The man asked.

“I have, well, used to have two brothers.” Geno replied.

“Used to have two brothers? What happened?” The man asked.

“Something happened, and my brother, Fresh, had ran away.” Geno said sadly. He looked at Error, who had lowered his head. Geno knew it was in shame, since no matter what he did, Error believed it was his fault that Fresh ran away.

“Oh, I’m sorry.” After a bit, the man said, “Oh! You haven’t told me who also was in your family.”

“Oh, you’re right.” Geno exclaimed. “My other brother is named Error, and my mother’s name is Crayon Queen, but she likes to be called CQ for short. I also have Uncle Asy. He’s not my real Uncle, but it’s what we called him a bit after we first met him.” Geno smiled at the memory of when Uncle Asy first came into his life. He appeared to help CQ take care of Error and Fresh, and Geno on those rare days. Since then, Asy became part of their family.

“Okay, next question. So, I’ve heard that you have been sick most of your life, is that correct?”

Geno nodded, before saying, “Yup. Would you like to hear the story?”

“Yes please.” The man said.

“Well, since I was born, I had an illness that no doctor could figure out. I have gone through every medication, every treatment. It felt like my home wasn’t my home, just a vacation spot that I went to every time I felt ‘better’. The doctors said that I wouldn’t even get past my teenager years.” Geno said, sadly. “One day however, Fresh, the brother I have mentioned before, was going to get me my medicine. But then, I had started puking blood, and was rushed to the hospital.

“Later, Fresh wanted to show me his new Pokémon, when I started coughing really bad. I guess it angered him or something, because he ran up to my bed, and slapped me in the face-“ Geno stopped when he heard a chocking sound coming from the speaker of his phone. “Hey, are you okay?”

A few sniffles came from the man, before they said, “I’m sorry. I’m just not good at hearing when he hit you. I guess it reminded me of my childhood. The same thing happened to me, just in a different way.”

“Oh, I’m very sorry for that.” Geno said sadly.

“I-it’s okay. You can keep going.” The man said.

“Well, after he slapped me, I had puked out even more blood and a blood clot. It was bad that he did it, but my brother had saved my life.”

“W-what?! How was that possible?” The man almost shouted.

“Well, when I puked, I had broken a rib, and when they went to fix it, they found something that no one would’ve guessed, and when they checked, it was confirmed that I had cancer in my ribs that wasn’t seen until that day. It started growing inside my ribs sometime after my birth, and it grew until it was removed when I was fourteen.” Then Geno sighed sadly, “I wish Fresh was here. That way, we could have fun regularly, with lots of exercise.”

After a short pause, the man on the phone said, “Well, I’m sorry that happened to you, and I want you to feel better. Every time me and my  get on some sensitive subject, I tell a joke to ease the mood. So, would you like to hear one?” The man asked.

“Sure,“ Geno said, “What’s the joke?”

“Knock knock”

Smiling a bit, Geno said, “Who’s there?”

“Aren’t”

“Aren’t who?” Not hearing any answer, Geno tried again, “Um, Aren’t who?”

Then, from behind him, he heard, “Aren’t you going to turn around and greet your brother?”

Geno dropped his phone, shocked. It couldn’t be, couldn’t it?

Turning around, Geno saw a skeleton behind him. Looking at them, they really looked like an older-

“Fresh?” 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Fresh P.O.V. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Fresh turned toward to where Error was. Standing up, Error started walking toward Fresh, and Geno stepped back. Before Fresh wondered why he did that, Error suddenly slapped him in the face, almost knocking Fresh backwards. Holding his face, Fresh asked, “Why did you do that?”

“For all the things you’ve done!” Error said angrily, “You weren’t there when Geno had to go through surgery; you weren’t there for his recovery. You weren’t there when I felt sorry for myself after finding out that the police stopped searching for you.” Then Error started crying. “A-and you weren’t there when I was so depressed, that I almost k-killed myself. I,” Error sobbed out, “I thought you were dead!”

Not worrying about the feeling of burning on his face, Fresh walked to Error, before hugging him. Fresh could hear the sound of Error ‘crashing’ before ‘rebooting’, so he stepped back to let Error finished. When done, Error started mumbling, “Sorry. Y-you just surpri-“

“I’m sorry.” Fresh interrupted. He looked down in shame. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you, to make you feel this way. I just couldn’t handle it.” Fresh felt his knees weaken, and he fell on them, crying. Everyone instantly then surrounded him, comforting him.

That feeling you get when you find the fanfic you read almost a year ago, and you wanted to read it again before but couldn't find it.
