A/N: I apologize in advance to the writer of 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the Game' if there are any similarities between this story and that one. Anyway I just recently saw 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World' and I thought it was a pretty good movie. I've never been exposed to the graphic novel though so this story is based entirely off of what happened in the movie. Enjoy!
"Hi. I'm Scott Pilgrim. In case you've forgotten what happened in the last movie either because you haven't seen it in a while or because you never got around to seeing it (It's probably the latter) here's a brief rundown of what took place. I'm Scott."
"You already said that," Julie interrupted.
"Julie! How did you get in here! ? The doors were… locked."
Julie
Age: 22
Occupation: apparently juggles multiple jobs. No one has a clue how.
"Who gives a **** how I got in here?" She cursed.
"Seriously; how do you do that mouth thing?" Scott asked.
"Just continue the recap Pilgrim before you completely lose everyone's interest."
"Ok fine. Now where was I? Oh yes. I'm Scott Pilgrim."
Scott Pilgrim
Age: 22
Co-protagonist of the story
"Wait a minute," Scott stopped. "What does it mean co-protagonist? I'm the main character of the story. It even says so in the title."
"Not in this installment, Scott," Wallace revealed.
"Wallace! ? What are you doing here? You don't even live here."
"Not important. The point is that you aren't the main character of story."
"But it says so in the title card."
"Read it again."
Scott Pilgrim and Knives Chau vs. the Arcade
"Hold on. Knives? How the heck did she get bumped from a supporting role to main character?" Scott asked.
"Writer said he liked her in the last movie," Ramona answered.
"Ramona? What are you…?"
"I live here. Remember?" She interrupted.
Ramona Flowers
Age: 22
Girlfriend with seven evil exes.
Correction: Girlfriend with seven dead evil exes.
Scott's true love (at least that's what he thinks)
"Well when I get my hands on the writer," Scott began to threaten.
"Scott!" Julie shouted.
"What! ?" He yelled back.
"The recap," she calmly replied.
"Oh right. The…recap," Scott mumbled rubbing the back of his head slightly. "Anyway when this whole adventure started, I was dating a 17 year old named Knives Chau."
Knives Chau
Age 17
Too cool for Scott
Other protagonist of the story
Weapon of choice: a pair of really big knives.
"Are we going to be interrupted by the information box every time a character is introduced?" Scott asked getting tired of the interruptions.
"I didn't get a box," Wallace said.
"That's because there isn't much to tell," Julie said taking a seat at the table and munching down on an apple.
"Hey!"
"Getting back to the recap I was dating Knives when I met the girl of my dreams. Ramona Flowers," Scott said with a dreamy expression; he started to space out until Julie hit his shoulder.
"Don't go drooling on the floor Romeo."
"Sorry. Anyway I of course was told by various people that I was out of my league and Julie here even forbade me to go out with her to my confusion." He said directing his gaze at Julie, who was still eating. "But did I let that stop me? No way. After ordering something off of Amazon I got her to agree to hang out with me for a bit. During my band's performance at the Battle of the Bands I was attacked by Ramona's first evil ex-boyfriend."
"Evil ex," Ramona corrected.
"Is there really a difference?" Scott asked. Not waiting for her to respond, Scott went back to the recap. "Believe it or not the first evil ex was the easiest out of all of them. The next guy proved to be a bigger challenge, but I managed to outwit him by having the guy commit a dangerous skateboard stunt. Needless to say he didn't make it. Evil ex number three had an unfair psychic advantage thanks to his Vegan diet, but I defeated him using my superior intellect."
"All you did was trick him into drinking a half and half drink," Kim cut in.
"Oh come on! How the heck are you guys getting in here! ? I locked the door for the specific purpose of not being disturbed during the recap!" Scott shouted.
Kim Pine
"And enough with the information boxes! The readers don't need any background knowledge on characters they've already been introduced to!" Scott shouted to the heavens; hands raised in the air. Everyone blankly stared at Scott and he slowly lowered his hands down. He cleared his throat and continued. "The fourth evil ex turned out to be a girl this go around from a sexy phase Ramona went through."
"Sexy phase." Ramona said with a raised eye brow.
"You didn't say anything the last time I used that phrase," Scott tried to defend himself.
"That's because we were in mortal danger," Ramona countered.
"Well since I couldn't fight a girl Ramona fought her for me using a weapon that looked like a larger version of Thor's hammer. Where she got it I don't know," Scott said scratching his head.
"What you don't know about me could fill at least 6 volumes of a book; or at least a graphic novel," Ramona explained.
"Following that evil ex's defeat I had to face off against twins that Ramona dated during the second round of battle of the bands. This time I had a little help from my band."
"If it wasn't for us you would've died probably," Kim stated while plopping down on the couch.
"Go ahead. Make yourself at home," Scott muttered. "After gaining an extra life from the victory we got a big gig from ironically Ramona's final evil ex. Ramona left me for that douche and following a series of other events that I can't recall I stormed my way into the Chaos Theatre and professed my love for Ramona. With my band playing an entertaining battle song we engaged in an epic battle only to be interrupted by Knives, who proceeded to attack Ramona. After confessing that I dated both of them at the same time I got stabbed in the back by Gideon and died. Luckily I had another life so I was able to restart the battle and earned the power of self respect. Knives and I teamed up and together we took Gideon down. I then came face to face with my evil double Nega-Scot, who turned out to not be so evil after all. He was a pretty decent guy."
"Whatever happened to Nega-Scott anyway?" Knives asked.
"I don't know- Knives? How long have you been standing there?" A surprised Scott asked.
"For about half of your recap," she explained sitting on the kitchen counter.
"After the fight," Scott resumed, "Knives and I agreed to be just friends and Ramona and I restarted our relationship," he finished.
"Wow," Julie sighed. "That was really…boring." She tossed the core of the apple she was eating into the trash can without even looking.

"I'd like to see you do a better job," Scott said.
"Oh believe me; I could've," she declared while stretching some. "I just didn't feel like it."
"Well great guys. Thanks to your constant interruptions the recap took up the entire prologue," Scott complained.
"Hey you could've just ignored us," Kim pointed out.
"It's hard to…"
"Listen everyone," Ramona intervened before they started fighting. "Why don't we just hold off any further arguments until the start of the story?"
"Fine," Scott agreed.
"Fine," everyone else muttered.
"Fine," Nega-Scott said.
"Nega Scott! Ok that's it! How are you guys breaking in here?"
"You left the door unlocked," Nega-Scott stated as if it were obvious.
"It was unlocked?" Scott asked.
"Yes," everyone answered simultaneously. Scott let out a frustrated sigh and banged his head against the counter.
A/N: At the moment this is the only chapter where the characters will break the fourth wall. Hope this first chapter was good.
