"I forgot Klaxosaurs were in this book, whatever. I scraped the idea of Klaxosaurs." Goro says.

"What are you talking about?" She raises an eyebrow. "Nothing." Goro says it quickly.

Meanwhile, Alpha was staring at a kid who wanted to beat him up.

"Hey punk! You got money? I'll stab you if you don't have any money!" The kid grabs a fake plastic knife.

"Beat it kid."

"MOMMMYYYY!!!"

...

"Ooh! Hiro! Choose a dress for me! The pink one! Or the red one!" Miku has the pink dress on her left hand, the red dress on the right hand.

Hiro gives his opinion, "It's a waste of money since it's about to get dirty once we fight Gio."

"How rude! Mitsuru! Compare for me!" Miku scraps Hiro off her mind and switches to the boy who misses Kokoro.

"I'll only compare Kokoro's likings, not you."

"You 2 boys are hopeless! WHY DID YOU PAIR ME UP WITH THESE 2 VIRGINS! HUH?! ICHIGOOOOOO!!!" Everyone in the shop stares at Miku, thinking she was one of those weird mental people.

...

"I'm so glad I can relax and do nothing, time to sit on this bench and do nothing while watching nature do it's own bidding." Zorome sits on a bench chair, picking his ear wax off.

"You said it." Futoshi sits right next to him.

"Uh, guys... Can we do something besides relaxing?" Kokoro never actually had an actual conversation with these 2 before, this could be a great time to build some friendships with other boys.

"Nope, you may have thought Ichigo paired us up with you because you're cute. Just to let you know, I'm not the type to go with girls who betray Futoshi like that. And I don't like that cliche thingy where you were wrong about Futoshi and then Mitsuru suddenly cheats on you." Zorome points at Kokoro, exposing her true nature.

"W-What are you talking about? Mitsuru would never cheat on me." She bluffs his statement.

"I know that, what I'm saying is that I yearn for true gender equality. The only reason why I'm with Miku is because she isn't like you where you are shy and secretly a decent person, that's way too cliche. I don't like cliche girls, especially ones that turn down the main character and then suddenly realizes that her douchebag boyfriend is a douchebag and comes back to the main character and they live happily ever after. What I'm saying is that I AM A MAN OF TRUE GENDER EQUALITY! WHAT EVER HAS TO BE DONE HAS TO BE DONE! I KNOW YOUR TRUE NATURE KOKORO! DON'T COME BACK TO MY BOY FUTOSHI REALIZING THAT MITSURU IS SECRETLY USING YOUR BODY FOR HIS LUST!" Zorome huffs and puffs for oxygen to enter through his lungs after an enormous speech.

"I-I... I'm sorry..." Kokoro couldn't say anything anymore, Zorome was right.

"Good, now you can finally be a normal person and join the fun-."

Kokoro suddenly cries, making a big scene for everyone around them. "I'm sorry I'm such a bad girl, I'll do anything you ask just to make me be just like you! I'll do any erotic acts you wish me to do! I'll go through any circumstances! Only if you accept me as a human being." Kokoro's words starts to go through the passing civilians brain, staring at Zorome in disgust.

"H-Hey, don't say anything like that. You will expose me." Zorome tries to hug it out with Kokoro.

"Really! You will accept me! Thank you." They both hug it out, for fun of course.

Zorome spots Futoshi holding 2 papers that look like lottery tickets. "Futoshi, what are you doing?" He asks him.

"I'm wondering if we could win any quick cash and buy something expensive. Let's see, the numbers are 5511220678 for this lottery ticket. And the winners book are 283874939, the 2nd winning numbers are 246028593, the third one....."

Futoshi's eyes widen, "Hey, if we win this lottery ticket, what would we buy from the cash?" He asks Zorome.

"It's pretty obvious we can't win any lottery if they are from the trash can, even if we win, I will buy an expensive car to show it to all the boys in our school."

"5511220678! The numbers for this lottery is 5511220678! The winning lottery book says the winner for the numbers 5511220678 will win...." Futoshi moves his thumb that was covering the cash reward.

$500,000

"$500,000! WE ARE GONNE BE RICH! AHAHAHA!" Futoshi falls to the ground, almost fainting.

Zorome quickly gets up, "You better not be lying Futoshi. Let's see the numbers, 5511220678 for the lottery ticket, the winning book definitely says 5511220678, and there reward is..."

$500,000

"KYAAAAAA!!"

"YEAHHHHHHH! $500,000! WE ARE GONNE BE RICH!" Zorome and Futoshi cheers.

"This is really great! Now we can go tell the others we won the lottery." Kokoro heads to the others, only to be stopped by both Futoshi and Zorome.

"Oi, we both found this lottery first, let's cash out the money and spend half of it before dividing it by 6 with the remaining money." Zorome bribes Kokoro.

"Uhhhh...uhhhh.." She gives a huge thought about it.

"Think about it Kokoro..... $250,000 to spend, while the other 6 gets less than that." Futoshi joins in.

"I'm in." Kokoro gives up her shy personality and accepts both Zorome and Futoshi as her true friends.

"Nice to meet you new Kokoro! I hate the old Kokoro, but the new one is better! Welcome to the jokesters of the Darling Crusaders! Would you like to join us? Eh?" Zorome and Futoshi pose together.

"I Kokoro, would love to join the jokesters of the Darling Crusaders.." She proudly says with all her pride built into that speech.

"Glad to have you! Now let's go cash in our reward!"

The 3 jokesters head to the bank of this town.
