Notes: Sorry this took so long! I'm still pretty new at ficcing so it takes me a long time to get ideas that I'm happy with.

Now, I realise that in the actual game, Komaeda has said that the he has no problem with horror movies, but I figure since this is an AU, I'm allowed some wiggle room. :) Hope you enjoy this final chapter!

"Where are we going next?" Tsumiki inquired. The movie had let out and it was now late afternoon. Komaeda had made it through the rest of the movie without needing the coat over his head. He was quite proud.

"I was planning on letting my luck take care of it. Do you mind if we just walk for a little while? I'm sure we'll find something."

"I…I could just go home. You don't need to do anything else for me. I already had such a nice time at the movie."

"Tsumiki-san," Komaeda ceased walking and reached for the girl's bandaged hand. "I am so glad that I could make you happy. I can't recall my luck ever helping someone before. Thank you, for letting me do all this for you, but if you'll allow me some selfishness, I'd like very much if this day could last a bit longer."

"Komaeda-san…" Tsumiki's eyes began to glisten at the edges. "I really can't thank you enough for doing this for me. I really can't remember anyone ever being so nice to me before. I always…used to feel like I was living my life in a glass box. It was as if the glass was one-way. I could see out, see everyone happily enjoying life with people they care about, but no one could see in. No one could ever find me in that box."

"Hm, I see." Komaeda began to absentmindedly rub his thumb along the bandage as he spoke. "For me, I always felt slimy. Like I was covered in a thick layer of ooze while everyone around me was clean."

Tsumiki wondered if that was why Komaeda was always so fastidious.

At that moment, the door to the shop they were standing in front of opened and Tsumiki's chest was suddenly overly acquainted with a kitty backpack.

Komaeda realised only too late that he was still clasping Tsumiki's hand, as the two of them traveled to meet the cement of the sidewalk.

The boy noted that Tsumiki's behind was quite cushy as his own bottom was now planted on the sidewalk with Tsumiki sitting on his lap. How is this even possible? Didn't she go down first? He wondered if Tsumiki had some kind of special luck herself, only her's involved improbable ways to fall.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" the owner of the backpack turned around to reveal herself as their classmate, Nanami. She reached out a hand to Tsumiki. "I didn't know you two were so close. That's so nice."

Komaeda awkwardly tried to help Tsumiki up from behind as Nanami pulled from the front. It ended up turning into a rather pathetic limp hold around her waist. Tsumiki was plumper than one would expect.

"Halloween seemed good a time as any to try to something new." Komaeda smiled, letting go his limp hold on the young nurse.

"That sounds really nice. Anyway, are you here to pick up a copy of Zombie Extravaganza 7 too?"

Zombie…? Komaeda looked up at the sign on the shop. It read 'Gamer Land'.

"Oh um….zombies are…" Tsumiki glanced at Komaeda.

"I see…. What about Animal Crossing? Pokémon?"

"Are you sure that's even legal, Tom Nook?" Komaeda asked the tiny screen dubiously.

"That does seem like a pretty expensive loan…." Tsumiki frowned as she turned the small gaming system toward herself.

Nanami had declared that it was practically criminal that the two hadn't even played such famous game franchises, so she insisted on lending a spare 3DS to Tsumiki. The plum-haired girl had tried to refuse and explain about her clumsiness, but Komaeda assured her that his luck should cancel that out and between the two of them, they could surely keep the game system from harm.

The two now sat side by side in a café that was festively decorated for Halloween, playing Animal Crossing while waiting.

"May I take your order?" asked a cloaked waitress through plastic fangs.

"Um…what are you getting, Komaeda-san?"

"We'll have two chocolate crepes, please."

The waitress thanked them for the order and left.

"I hope you don't mind me choosing for you."

"Not at all! I always go to these places by myself so I usually just get a coffee."

"My parents took me to one once and we got crepes. It was so many years ago, but I think it was really good…"

The video game session continued as they waited.

"Oh! You can buy a little Halloween costume for your avatar! I want to make her a nurse….wow that's expensive."

"How about I take the game home and keep trying to earn bells so you can get it faster? My luck should make it happen in no time." To emphasize the point, he dug up a bag of gold.

"You really don't have to…"

At that moment something sailed though the air, like a liquid blue bird, and splashed onto Tsumiki's lap creating a fantastic azure stain.

"I am so sorry, Miss!" the waitress had tripped on a small child that was running amok, terrorizing the masses in the café, as they are quite prone to do.

"Oh no, no! It was probably me. I'm sure I had my foot sticking out in the aisle!" Tsumiki wailed as she made no attempt to blot herself.

The waitress left after apologizing once more and promising to bring their food right away.

"Let me help you with that." Komaeda could no longer stand to see Tsumiki's skirt dripping on the floor, like a cotton leaky faucet. He grabbed some napkins and knelt down on the floor by her side.

"Um…I could just take my skirt off, if that would make it easier for you…"

"That's really okay. Please don't." The stain was already becoming lighter as he dabbed it.

The food finally arrived and even included free sodas to make up for the accident.

"Oh grape! My favorite!" Tsumiki happily inserted her straw.

Komaeda smiled knowingly.

"I…don't think it was your luck that gave me the flavor I wanted. I think maybe some times, things just happen by chance. You probably aren't controlling the entire world. That was probably the flavor they have the most of, or maybe it was going to expire first. Maybe…"

Komaeda considered this as they ate.

"Those crepes were amazing…" Tsumiki mused as they walked. She then began to gradually slow down. Komaeda turned to see what was wrong. Tsumiki was studying the pavement as her mouth tugged down at the corners.

"Oh no. Of course being near trash like me would make anyone cry. What was I thinking? I'm so sorry. I'll find you a cab so you can get away from me…"

"No one's ever been so nice to me before!" Tsumiki blubbered. "I'm so happy!" She was all-out sobbing now. So much liquid was pouring from her eyes that Komaeda thought surely he would be washed away to a caucus race. Thankfully, upon further inspection, he was satisfied that there were not any dodo birds nearby.

Komaeda sighed. "Is that all?"

"Are you really sure I don't owe you anything? I could still take my skirt off…" Tsumiki fidgeted with her still damp hem.

"No, it's really okay. Really. How about if I ever get sick, you can treat me?"

"Of course! I'll give you lots of shots. So many shots…. Eh heh." Tsumiki instantly brightened up.

The two had left the café after finishing their desert and were now stopping in front of a cosplay shop. The sign in the window told of a Halloween special sale. The creator of the sign clearly had trouble with English, as Komaeda could not remember ever seeing to the word 'spoopy' before. It gave him a chuckle.

"Pick out anything you like." He said to his companion.

"A-are you sure!?"

"Of course. If I hadn't taken you to the café, your skirt wouldn't have gotten ruined, so let me make it up to you. Besides, what guy wouldn't be happy to spend time with a girl in a cute costume?"

Tsumiki browsed for a bit before choosing a frilly witch costume.

"I thought you would have gone for the nurse costume." Komaeda said after they left the shop.

"Because I am a nurse, silly. It wouldn't be much of a costume."

The pair eventually settled down on a park bench.

"Aren't you going to put it on?" Komaeda asked.

Tsumiki began to unbutton her blouse.

"No! No, um how about over your clothes?"

Tsumiki did as requested. The effect was splendid, just like a magical witch girl from an anime.

"You are adorable, Tsumiki-san." Komaeda muttered then became quiet.

Tsumiki felt conflicted, but she allowed her concern to outweigh her joy at the comment. "Is something wrong?"

"Oh, no. It's the opposite, actually." He smiled. "I'm trying to figure out why nothing bad has happened. Everything good that's ever happened in my life has been preceded by something terrible. I'm so happy today, and everything's gone so well, yet there hasn't been an incident. This can't be right."

Tsumiki turned thoughtful as well. "I think…it is right. I think that maybe…and I could be wrong…I'm always wrong…. But maybe it's because of me? I don't think your luck had anything do with me today. I think that the day just happened to go well for me and that made you happy. I chose to go with you and I've been acting of my own will this entire time. I don't mean to make this all about me…of course…"

"I think I see what you're saying. Thank you, Tsumiki-san. I suppose we'll just have to keep spending time together, then."

Lips brushed Tsumiki's cheek. "Happy Halloween," They whispered.

"W-was that the t-trick or the treat?" Tsumiki bravely attempted to keep it together.

"Both?"
