Hi this is my 2nd fic & I think it's really crappy, but I want the people's opinions, so it's supposed to be a comedy, don't blame me if you don't think it's funny, it probably isn't, It's a one-shot & I'm sure that it's very ooc & +13 for mild language. enjoy...hopefully o0



THE PRIVATE LIFE OF KERO
One day Netto was watching the news, normally he didn’t, but Midorikawa Kero was the newsperson on DNN. Netto respected Kero; she was a good netbattler & she was really out going. Also she had a scary love for toads.

Netto jumped from his daydream, he was winning a really hard net battle, startled by Kero’s voice as she came back on screen. “& That’s it Electopia, toon in later for the 6:00 news. I’m Midorikawa Kero, & this is my Net navi Toadman” Toadman appeared on screen & waved. “& We’re leaving the pond.”

Netto flicked off the t.v “Kero’s cool, she seems really hyper, she must love her job” He stated. Rockman nodded. “Yes, I’d wanna fight Toadman, didn’t he wipe the floor with Numberman in the battle opening the net coliseum?” “Ya he did, Hey maybe we can catch Kero while she’s off air!”

~~~~~

“AAAAAAAAND CUT!” Kero Jacked Toadman out of the camera, where he jumps scenes & randomly pops up on screen, & Plunked down on a bench, whipping her large toad hat off. “God I HATE this job!” She said pulling out a carton of cigarettes, lighting one, and then taking a puff.

“But, It’s such a fun job.” Toadman added, scratching his head. “Ya for you.” Kero said, undoing the buttons of her green & yellow pinstriped coat. “You just jump around & switch camera views. I do all the work.”

Toadman thought for a moment then spoke, “You get to travel around the world, for free”. Kero took another puff & breathed out a ring of smoke “You know, you’re right,” Toadman smiled, the only real smile he had in quite a while. His net-op used to be happy & cheerful like she was on-air, but she started changing, she didn’t really care for anything anymore, her job, Family, friends, toads, net battling, him. She seemed more interested in other things, like money, what she wore, & Higure Yamitaro, especially since commentating with him in the N-1 Grand Prix.

Kero interrupted his thoughts. “Ya I loved it when I was sent to Sharo in the middle of the war, & I just loved almost being trampled be elephants in NetFrica. Oh & when I had to go on during the whole air conditioning & Gospel thing, it wasn’t you who froze to death!” She said, itching at her fishnet stockings.

“Oh…Well-“ Once again she cut him off, saying, “Oh & don’t forget that time I was almost arrested for introducing a new toad species to Oceopia. Or when I was head hunted in South Netopia!”

Toadman took a heavy sigh. “Ya I got it,” he said, though he wasn’t heard, as Kero stood up, tripped over her overly large stilettos, then continued walking. “Hey you’re forgetting me Kero!” Toadman yelled from his PET still lying on the bench.

~~~~~~

Netto raced through the streets of ACDC on his roller blades. “Where do you think we’ll find her Rock?” he asked his navi. Rockman thought for a moment. “Uh, I dunno, the DNN station on Beach street?” He replied. “Ya duh, I should have thought of that.” Netto stated before skidding to a halt infront of Higure’s chip shop. “Hey is that her there with Higure?”

Kero had poor Higure buy the necktie. The chip nerd was sweating; he didn’t know what to do with the frog freak he once worked with. This wasn’t how he remembered her though. She was happy & cheery, & kept smacking him in the face with every motion. Now she was caked with make-up, dressed like a whore, & trying to rape him.

Higure stuttered. “Uh, I’m sorry M-M-Midorikawa, b-but I kinda love somebody else.” Kero pulled roughly on his tie, letting go so that it curled upwards like Dilbert’s (gotta love Dilbert) “WHAT D’YA MEAN SOMEONE ELSE!!?!??!” She screamed. “Oh it’s Mariko isn’t it!?” Higure nodded. She kicked him in the shin. “YOU ASS MUNCH!! IT WAS GOING SO WELL!!”

Higure clutched his leg. “What’re you talking about!? The only time I’ve every spoken to you, or even seen you was the N-1 Grand Prix!” Netto stepped in. “What’s going on?” He asked. Kero & Higure turned to stare at him.

“Wow Higure you never told me you were going out with Kero, it must be so cool.” Netto said. “What? I don’t even know her & she was clambering all over me!” Higure said, pulling himself together. “WHAT!?” Kero screamed. “How could I? You make me sick to my ass!!” Higure stared blankly at her. One minute she was all over him, saying that they were going out, which they weren’t, & now she acts like he’s some kind of crap on her overly large shoe.

Netto stared at them. He started to back off, when Kero spoke to him. “You’re that Netto kid who won the tourney, how old are you?” Netto replied with. “Old enough to know you’re a whore! You were my idol Kero! MY IDOL! Do you know how it feels when you find out your idol is a fraud!?” Kero blinked dumbly. “Ya, my heart broke when they took Keroppi off air.” She stated. (Keroppi, the frog that shared a show with Hello Kitty)

Netto tore out of the shop screaming “I HATE YOU!!” & “I HOPE YOU KNOW YOU BROKE A CHILD’S DREAMS!!!” Kero stood there for a while, Higure sweeping & mopping the floor around her. He was right, what had she turned into? Nothing but a Whore, desperately attempting to score people she barely even knows, with no friends, or disgraced family. Even her closest friend Toadman, had been treated like shit. She fell to the floor. Higure shouting, “Hey I just cleaned there!”

~~~~~~~~

That night Kero set her Green pinstriped coat & blouse out for work in the morning, humming the Keroppi theme song. She washed off all the make-up & got dressed in her Keroppi Pajamas. She climbed into bed & held 2 plushies close to her, a Keroppi, & a homemade Toadman she had made when she was little. “Good night Toadman.” She said for the first time in months. Toadman smiled, his old Kero was back.

Ehhh...what just happened? There really wasn't any transition between the different scenes within the story.

The ending seemed to be a bit rushed. It is a fascinating concept, but it needs some revision.
