Hello all of you lovely people!

So! You all threw me your suggestions of characters for a Dangan Ronpa couple to work with. I read them, I took notes of them and worked around my board seeing how I could work with them and then it clicked. I surely can do them all! It will take me time, but while I work on a few one shots in preparation for their individual stories. I thought. I can have one huge friendship and romance story! As is often the case with me, non despair AU.

Now! Let's take all the ideas!

I bid you a welcome to my newest project! As always I own nothing of Dangan Ronpa, I only play with the wonderful sandbox of characters.

You are not alone! You have me!

Introduction: The message that started everything. The card that opened the door.

Makoto Naegi. A simple boy, average in many senses, if anything, you could make note of how lucky or unlucky he was at times. In the end, he was having a good life. Luck or bad luck, he was always keeping his hopes up. His parents and his sister often joked that Makoto was a beacon of hope. No matter what happened, the boy always thought things would go well.

Naegi was average in everything he did, his hobbies, his tastes in music, whatever was going around. If anything, only one thing Makoto Naegi did that was not so average. On the other hand, it could be average.

Makoto Naegi liked to have conversations with strangers on a chatting site.

Nothing like used for dating or shadowy activities. Just, random chatting. One day he would chat with a girl, one day he would chat with a boy. He just enjoyed reading their stories; they always shared such amazing stories. He didn't have much to share aside of his day. Yet he always got similar answers.

You can't be that unlucky.
No way!
LOL

OwO
You should check if you are not possessed by a spirit.
Come on, are you kidding? Wait scratch that. I can see it happening to you.
You should be more careful! Safety is a must!
Maybe you should train more…

Many answers. Many stories and many fun things he got to learn. Sometimes they had rough days, and he was simply optimistic. Telling them that he was sure things would go well. He liked chatting with them. When he suddenly felt his phone moving he had a smile on his face knowing it might be one of the many people he chatted with through the app.

Sometimes he only wished his phone hadn't got broken.

Due to an accident in which a bike almost crashed against him, the phone screen broke.

This caused Makoto to be able to see the messages, but never being able to read the names of the people he chatted with. Likewise, an error on the app made his name always look like a bunch of symbols.

!"#$%&: I am sure you will be well!
!"#$%&: Don't worry I know you can make it through!
!"#$%&: Surely you can win the bet! Though I don't bet myself. I know you can win!

His friends always mentioned his name was funny. They felt he would be a sort of troll that appeared at random until they would chat. Naegi had met lots of people through the chatting app. Of course he never asked for their real names just like they wouldn't ask his. Call it safety on the net.

You know. I could hack the app and get your phone number right?
Worry not my buddie! I shall use my crystal ball to find who you are!

Some people had fun comments. He enjoyed chatting with them. Hearing all they had to share, in exchange he offered simple friendship. And in a way, he was extremely thankful for their messages. For in his average day, just a few words from them could make the day brighter. Some had fun stories of why they went missing for a while. He never minded though, he understood people got busy.

Sorry my dearest friend! I had royal matters to attend to and I wasn't allowed to have any contact.
I apologize, my mission was slightly harder than expected. That is no excuse though, I should have send a message.
My phone broke when I was jumping a roof! I had to get a new one, but managed to save the contacts information!

Fun indeed. He was happy they took a bit of their time to chat with him. He was just average really, compared to all the stuff they shared with him he didn't got why they would keep chatting with him. The answer seemed really the same for all of them though.

Why would I not want to chat with you buddie? We are friends.

What do you mean? Even if you wanted me to go, I would still stay here for you. You are my friend.

Do you forget who the master is here? I refuse to let go of my favorite subordinate… guess I could go as far as call you my friend.

I will have to decline that assumption. You are not just anyone, you are my friend.

He would lie if he said those messages didn't meant a lot to him. He had even go as far as writing them all in a notebook. He had made quite the collection of meaningful messages. He had enjoyed the messages. One day in particular he took notice of how everyone he knew seemed to be worried.

Ever felt worried about your future? I mean, I have a crystal ball so I am not worried! But… well, ever felt worried of it? I got an invite to this cool school for super cool people as your buddie here but… well what if I am not good enough?

Sometimes I doubt I actually can be who people think I am….

I have not managed to beat my own rival… do I really belong in a place made for the best?

I have my own dreams you know? Is it selfish I want to pursue them?

Do I belong in such a place full of lights? Someone as ugly and unworthy as me?

If I am not the best around all, do I am really worthy of a title that says I am? What if?

All messages ended up in a similar fashion.

What if I end up alone?

Naegi was surprised at how many people wrote him messages on that particular day. So he wrote them a message to all of them. A long one, full of hope and all the optimism that only he carried around.

Because he had chatted with all of them. He knew them to an extent. Maybe he didn't know their names or what they did. But he had a general idea based on all they shared with him. So he wrote them, everyone, a message. He was thankful for the weekend, otherwise, he might have failed to attend any appointment of the day. He was not going to forget to send a message to anyone.

He was going to send a message to everyone.

And that he did. He wrote a message to everyone. He actually couldn't know how many messages he was sending. But he did it. He managed to send a message to everyone.

You are not alone! You have me. You are my friend!

He let out a sigh of relief knowing he managed to send a message to everyone. Sure, he didn't receive an answer back from them but he couldn't blame them. They were all having a tough day. He couldn't imagine it really. They were all feeling pressure. They all had such amazing things to tell him all the time.

And now all of them seemed to have thoughts regarding their futures. This made Naegi get in thought regarding his future. He never really worried about it… he just. Well he just went with it. Whatever happened would come. He just enjoyed the good moments he was having.

His phone vibrated and he knew a message had come. He decided to see it.

A message was on his screen.

Do you… want to know my name? My real name I mean. You should take this chance. You are extremely lucky I am even offering you this. Take it as my thanks for your help in this… weird moment of doubt I had in my own abilities.

The message took him by surprise. It was sort of implicit with all the people he chatted with that there was no need for names. Well… he couldn't even see their names on the site.

There is no need… I mean, is your privacy! And even if I don't know your name we are still friends.

He sighed in relief. Yet his phone vibrated again. This time the message surprised him.

Taeko Yasuhiro. Thank you… is funny. I don't know your name. But there is a particular charm in you knowing my name… some would even call it romantic? But we are not some, are we? We are master and servant… or a master and a close associate…

Friends work well doesn't?

The message ended there. Leaving behind one confused Makoto Naegi who didn't know what to do with the information of that name. His phone vibrated again. A message from another of his friends.

Well, buddie… I still think you are a psychic or a powerful empath! I mean, you always get me trusting myself. I will accept that school! Mark my words buddie! If you ever need a free reading or a watch to the future, trust the best psychic of all! Yasuhiro Hagakure! Hiro for short man!

Naegi almost fainted at the shock that two people whom he chatted often were revealing their names to him. Was he that worthy of their trust?

Many messages followed.

Thanks, man. I knew it was a good idea to tell you all this stuff.

You always got the answer, don't you? Are you sure you are not a detective yourself?

We should one day go on a ride with bikes man. I am telling you is awesome. Thanks for the help.

!"#$%& Dono! I knew you were the right one to tell of this!

I am feeling more and more tempted in hacking the app to know who you are…. Thank you. You are a real friend…

You know? There is a tale of a hero in my kingdom. I wonder if you are that hero.

I and the Devas of Destruction are thankful to you. This is a debt we will not forget. I thank you for your bold and wise words.

Thank you… I… I don't know why you keep chatting with me… b-but I am only here for you! If I knew your name… maybe that's our relationship? A tragic romance in which we don't know the name of the other?

He could only smile and feel happy knowing they were all thankful. He was glad he helped them. He let himself fall on his bed. His sister came knocking by telling him to go get dinner. He went down the stairs with a smile on his face.

In another place, a well known writer sighed in relief. She was deleting her name from a chat window. She was about to write her name to her love. She didn't know his name… and he would not know she was Touko Fukawa….

She gave a look to the envelope with the invitation to Hope Peak Academy and clutched it her against her chest.

"He…he said I could do it… so I know I will…"

She was having a weird smile on her face as she imagined her fantasy. Who knows… maybe if she went through the academy she would be able to one day find her love… that stranger she found through sheer luck in the day she was going to erase the app…

In a different place. In a home filled with European style furniture and clothes, one could see a girl with two long and black pigtails that were curled dressed in lolita style clothing. She sighed resting on her bed playing with a deck of cards.

"He is so lucky… would he win against me in a game? Or would I win? Maybe I could make him owe me a favor… I mean… I can surely find him… is a matter of luck."

She was smiling softly as she played with the cards. No one knew her name. It was part of the charm in her presence… Celestia Ludenberg. And yet she had exposed her name to someone who she didn't know outside of his messages…

She smiled softly. Who knows, maybe if she did her best in the academy, she could get enough money to get the best private investigator and find out the identity of the boy who stole her heart…

A boy found himself looking for his brother. He clutched a cellphone in his hand that still had a clear message.

I don't know the whole story between you and your brother…. But I am sure you honestly admire him. The way you speak about him is obvious his opinion means a lot to you…. Why not say it? Actually being able to admit your thoughts is manly right?

He was no coward. His friend was right. He could be brave and speak with his brother. From man to man, as someone who was a bike leader, he could ask his brother for advice… there was no cowardice in admitting his thoughts.

As his friend said. That was the manly thing to do.

In the middle of a dojo of martial arts a strong woman had just finished going through twenty bricks with a single karate chop.

She had received an advice she had never thought of. And she was going to follow it.

Going to that school don't you might be able to get an advantage and finally win? Wouldn't the fact that you keep practicing and learning show you are dedicated? Even if you don't win now. You can always fight again later, right?

She had hoped to beat Kenshiro. And Kenshiro himself said his health would not allow him to go to the school… she was making a bet with destiny. She would keep going and learning. And Kenshiro would fight his sickness so both had another spar.

It was funny. Whoever her friend was, wasn't obviously a martial artist. But he carried a different strength…. Funny indeed.

One boy was enjoying in his bed laughing and sighing at the same.

"So much hope! He shines so brightly! Ah! I must find him and follow him to the ends of the earth! Ooooh, cruel luck why you deny me the name of this beacon of hope!"

Komaeda Nagito was a boy with luck. Seemingly nothing bad happened to him. Yet his personality was one that often seemed to give a twist when speaking of positive things. So when he became friends with a stranger who seemingly was always full of optimism he was happy. Mostly because whoever received his messages always seemed to enjoy them. Even better. He seemed to understand the whole deal with his luck. He needed to find his friend. Maybe luck would guide him to his side so they could spend time together!

A girl with blonde hair was getting out of a photo shoot that had gone splendidly well. She asked for a few minutes of rest. She needed to make a phone call. She felt happy, the stranger who had wormed her way into her life had made her extremely happy.

I believe you don't need to feel such a way…. I think you always shine brighter when we chat. Because you speak of things you like, and is obvious, you are not someone bad! And you said it yourself! You even have more talents, doesn't that makes you even more amazing? Don't doubt of yourself. And focus on the good things!

Enoshima Junk felt happy. And she would put all of her talents to the quest of finding her friend…. A boy who seemingly wormed his way in her life. Her phone caught her attention when she noticed her sister had answered the phone.

"Hey… I wanted to chat with you, got some time? I guess is the time we acted more like family…"

She would fix her relationship with her sister. She would use her talents and find that boy too. She was Enoshima Junko! Queen of the world! The fashionista! And soon the girl who captured the heart of the boy who dared capture hers without knowing!

Many people were finding themselves in similar situations. Thinking and acting based on the messages they received. The message that moved them forward.

You are not alone! You have me!

Everyone had a smile on their faces. They had a friend. Somewhere… they might not know his face. Or who he was. However, they knew he was unlucky… and lucky…. But even more important, he was optimistic. A small beacon of hope.

All the friends Naegi made without even knowing, all his friends got invited to the same school. To Hope Peak Academy. A place for the best of the best. Those with talents never seen to such an extent. A place for those who are the best…

Soon that place would hold a big number of students. Many with talents similar to others, others that were not expected.

Many wouldn't know of each other. Some would know others through fame.

But there was a particular student who actually knew them all. Well, without him knowing it of course. Actually, he didn't know he was the student of such a prestigious place.

You see.

Luck had made it so the later arrived a day later than to the rest.

"Brother! You got a letter!"

Makoto Naegi had won a raffle to be in Hope Peak Academy.

He would meet many people and that made him excited.

He didn't know he had already chatted with every student that was about to enter.

A school life full of hectic and memorable experiences was about to happen.

Cut!

Well! This is really fun to write, I know I am really excited to go around the roulette of characters for this story. I have no set pairing, I only know I will be writing a lot and that is fun! Well hope you all are as excited about this like me. See ya all soon. As always reviews are always welcome.
