Chapter 1: It Begins
It began as a normal morning at the Hinata house. Keroro was just waking up, Tamama was filling up on his morning sugar, Mois was sweeping, Kululu...was being Kululu (whatever doing that is), Natsumi and Fuyuki were leaving for school, and Giroro was sitting around his usual fire.
'Today! Today I'm gonna tell her!' Giroro thought.
"Hey, Giroro?" Natsumi asked as she opened the back door.
"N-Natsumi! What...what do you want?" Giroro said freakishly.
"Remember, you owe me for saving your butt after that Space Worm incident. I expect to find the best roasted sweet potatoes on Earth waiting for me when I get back. Otherwise, you'll have to answer to my angry side!" Natsumi joked. She gave him a cute, little smile, making Giroro's heart pound like conga drum.
"S-sure. Whatever." Giroro said back, trying not to face her so to keep his soldier-like attitude. He heard the door close and went back into thought.
'Natsumi, my love. I will tell you today! I swear on it!' he thought. 'And not like the last time I swore on it. Or the time before that. Or before that. No, not this time! This time I swear to...'
Giroro slammed his head into the side of the house. '...oh, who am I kidding? She'd never fall for a pathetic frog me!'
He removed his head from the wall and got his thoughts straight. "NO! I have to tell her! I can't back out on this one, again!" he said out loud.
"Back out on what again?" he heard someone ask. Giroro jumped in the air out of surprise. He looked to his left to see Kululu leaning cross armed on the house corner, giving Giroro a funny look, even though he knew exactly what he was talking about.
"KULULU!" he said from the shock. "Were you spying on me?"
"Yup. KUKU! Now tell me what is it you wanna tell her." he said with his arms still crossed. Giroro turned away from Kululu.
"None of your business! Don't you have some invention for our useless leader you should be working on?" he said to the yellow freak, who got a little irritated at the remark.
"No. I'm free at the moment, so I thought I'd check up on you. So, you finally gonna tell Natsumi about your love for her?" he asked.
Giroro started to sweat up from what he said. He turned back around and grabbed Kululu by his neck, slamming him against the wall. "I do not love Natsumi! Get that through your messed up little mind! She's the enemy! We're here to invade and she's just a nuisance!" he shouted. Kululu laughed.
"Kukukuku! Then why are you giving that nuisance sweet potatoes as a life debt?" Kululu asked back, making Giroro glow red.
He did owe a life debt to her. It happened during another alien attack. A bunch of giant Space Worms tried to invade Pekopon after Keroro stupidly called them here by promising them 'all you can eat Pekoponians' if they helped out with the invasion. But the worms backstabbed him and tried to eat his platoon as well. Keroro launched a full scale attack against the worms, but everyone was easily defeated except Giroro. His massive guns and rockets were too much for the worms. But when they released the King worm (just a regular worm with a giant crown on its head), Giroro was definitely outmatched. He lost out right to the worms. They were about to eat him like a turkey, when suddenly their was a catastrophic explosion on the side of their ship. Out of the smoke and fire appeared Giroro's love and teammate, Natsumi, wearing her power suit Giroro gave to her. With two laser blades in each hand, she flew through the army of giant worms, cutting them each to pieces. She finally made it to the King Worm, who seemed indestructible. She grabbed hold of Giroro and tried to escape. Only to find that the worms she had cut had only multiplied, making her more surrounded than ever. She spotted the ship's engines right above where the King Worm was laying, and got and idea. She saw one of Giroro's rocket launchers on the ground behind a few worms, and she quickly raced toward it. Chopping through the worms like trees, she reached the rocket launcher and aimed it for the ship's engines. With the fire of a single rocket, the entire back of the ship was destroyed, breaking down the rest of the ship with it. She held Giroro tight as they escaped the ship right before it exploded and flew back toward Earth.
That accident replayed itself over and over in Giroro's mind every night since. He was too weak to stop the worms and had to put Natsumi in danger in order to save him. The thought made him sick to his stomach. But on the other hand, he did get to be in Natsumi's arms for a full twenty minutes because of it. Wasn't that bad of a day.
But still, Natsumi shouldn't have had to put herself in harm's way like that because of him. And everyone knew it, too. So that just made it all the worse. Giroro brought himself out of thought, only to see an unconscious, purple headed Kululu in his hands, which were still clamped around his neck. He dropped Kululu to the ground and went back to his fire. If Kululu already knew Giroro's secret, it was only a matter of time before he thought of some kind of sick prank to pull on him using that knowledge. He couldn't keep it hidden any longer. He had to tell her tonight!
Meanwhile, Fuyuki and Natsumi walked down the block together before splitting up, just like every morning. Natsumi walked through town while Fuyuki took his normal rout through the row of trees next to his school. There, like every morning, he ran into Momoka, who always got up early to wait for him. They walked to school together from then on.
At school, while Fuyuki was drawing pictures of Bigfoot in his journal, Momoka only had one thing on her mind.
'Oh, Fuyuki. My dear, sweet Fuyuki.' was basically the only thought she had all day. She couldn't get the clueless boy out of her mind. Something about him just made her salivate. She dreams of him confessing his long burning love for her every night in her dreams, but she always woke up disappointed in the morning. It was obvious it would only happen in a dream, so that left her with just one option. She had to confess to him, first.
But doing that wasn't easy. Not with the annoying frogs in the way. Every chance she got to tell him was always ruined by the frogs and their crazy schemes. It made her angry to the point of beating them...which she did. But it still hurt her just as much on the inside. Maybe not AS much as she beat them, but still close enough to make a comparison.
Her feelings couldn't wait any longer. Today was gonna be the day, she just knew it! They would have lunch together and she would tell him for sure this time. She had Paul gather up everyone in the Nishizawa army force to search the school for any sign of those idiot frogs. Everyone in the army was cleverly disguised as a middle schooler as Momoka's plan went into order. Paul was wearing hipster jeans, sunglasses and a red hoodie. Yoshiokadaira had a black suit and a bling necklace. And her Elite bodyguard with the eye patch was wearing the works. The bell rang, it was time for lunch.
Momoka asked nicely to Fuyuki if they could eat lunch together, which he kindly said yes to. They went to the roof and opened their lunchboxes. After they were both done, they still had a few minutes before the next class started. Momoka took this chance.
"Um...F-Fuyuki." she squeaked. Fuyuki looked to her with a curios face.
"Yeah?" he asked her. She tried to speak, but she couldn't think of the right words. But the bell was gonna ring, so she had to speed it up. She finally spoke up.
"How...would you like to..." she paused again. Fuyuki continued to stare without saying anything. Momoka gave him a smile.
"Would you like to be my..."
Her words were interrupted by the door to the room suddenly exploding. Tamama leaped out of the smoke. He was breathing deeply with dirt and cuts all over himself. Momoka panicked.
'But...Paul?' she thought. All her guards were at the moment busy being given swirlies and getting wedgies by the school bullies for dressing up stupidly. Paul was being shoved in a tight locker when he felt a sudden disturbance. Momoka was getting angry.
"Momoka!" he screamed as the door finally closed, trapping him inside.
Fuyuki walked over to the worn out Tamama after he broke though the door. "Tamama! What happened?" he asked with worry. Tamama's angry face appeared. He looked down at the rubble that used to be the door. He pointed to a small fly on the ground.
"THAT'LL TEACH YOU TO PUT YOUR DISGUSTING BUG LIPS ON MY DESSERT!" he screamed to the dead fly right before the bell rang. Fuyuki waved goodbye to Momoka before heading off to class. Tamama waved to him back.
"Bye, Fu-ki" he said as a dark shadow passed over him. He turned around to see a demon possessed, red-eyed, spikey-haired Momoka standing above him. He shivered in fear as the ground around her feet started to smoke up.
"CRAZY CHICK ALERT! CRAZY CHICK ALERT!" the narrator yelled.
A few hours later, Kululu sat in his lab chair when Tamama came crying in. He was covered in red cuts and bruises. Kululu sighed.
"Momoka, again?" Kululu asked. Tamama slowly nodded while still crying. Kululu leaped out of his chair and got his first-aid-kit out. He asked Tamama to sit down on his metal table as he started patching the poor private up.
"Momo-chi's so mean!" Tamama shouted. "I wish she would stop beating me up! I didn't do anything wrong!" Kululu knew he was telling the truth. They never do anything wrong, she just beats them up because she needs to get out the anger she keeps inside herself from not having the guts to confess to Fuyuki. Kululu wasn't a psychiatrist, but come on, it was pretty obvious.
"Kukukuku! Don't feel bad. She just needs someone to beat up cause she loves that boy Fuyuki too much." he said. Tamama stopped crying and looked up at Kululu. How did he know about Momoka's crush on Fuyuki? But then again, it'd be better not to ask. He always has some weird way of finding things out.
"Well, I'm sure she'll confess someday. I guess I'll just have to deal with it until then." Tamama said. Kululu laughed.
"KUKUKUKUKUKU! Good luck! Like she'll ever confess. I've seen it. She ain't got the guts."
Kululu finished patching Tamama's wounds up and sat back in his chair. Tamama leaped up and stared at him with an upset look. "She will to! I'm sure she will! In fact, I bet she'll definitely confess before Giroro ever will to Na-chi!" he yelled before stomping out of the lab.
As Tamama started to walk out, Kululu's twisted mind came up with something that he knew would be loads of fun. The yellow frog turned his chair a bit to stare at Tamama.
"Wanna bet?" he said. Tamama stopped in his tracks. He turned to Kululu. "Bet?" he asked back.
"KUKUKUKU! You heard me. If you really think that, then prove it. If you can get Momoka to confess to Fuyuki before Giroro does to Natsumi, I'll give you something in return." Kululu told the young soldier. Tamama tilted his head. "Like what?" he asked.
Kululu pressed a button on a small remote, and side wall of his lab opened up, revealing a ten foot high pile of tiny rapped candies inside. Each a different color and all in the shape of his symbol. Tamama pouted. "Why would I want your disgusting curry-flavored candies?" Tamama asked, which made Kululu's shin turn grey and his glasses crack. "I'm going to do my best to pretend you didn't say that." he said. "But no. These are not curry-flavored. These are my newest concoction. Go ahead, try one." he said as he picked up one of the blue ones and handed it to Tamama. Tamama took it from him, unwrapped it, and threw it in his mouth.
With just a few sucks, Tamama's pupils suddenly grew three times in size. He felt as if he was swimming through a lake of Cola, ice cream scoops floating all around him. Giant cake slices of every kind surround the lake, with cookie and marshmallow animals frolicking everywhere. A volcano of chocolate erupts in the distance, and chunks of brownies fly and a river of hot fudge flows out of it. It was a literal candy heaven.
After a couple of minutes, Tamama's pupils return to normal. By then, he was curled up on the cold floor, drool flowing out of his mouth. "What...was that?" Tamama asked.
"KUKUKUKU! My latest creation. 'Kululu's magirific dream candy'. One suck, and it instantly copies any one person's favorite flavors and combines them all into itself. Nice, huh?" Kululu said before pressing the button, making the wall close again.
"NOOOOOOO!" Tamama screamed as he ran as fast as he could to the closing doors, trying to keep them open. Once his attempt at forcing the doors from closing by tugging on them with his bare hands, and after the door closed, he reverted to scratching the door like a cat trying to get back in the house. "My babies! Come back! DADDY NEEDS YOU!" Tamama screamed.
"KUKUKUKU! You want another candy, you beat me in the bet. If you can get Momoka to confess to Fuyuki before Giroro does to Natsumi, I'll give you them all." Kululu said. Tamama sprinted over to Kululu and reached out his arm.
"IT'S ON, YELLOW!" Tamama shouted. Then, he thought of something that he knew he should definitely ask now, otherwise it might bite him later. "Wait." he said. "What do you want of you win?"
Kululu didn't say anything. He just stood there, silently. Until...
"KUUUUUUKUKUKUKUKUKUKUKUKUKUKUKU..." he started laughing uncontrollably. Tamama started to get scared. Whatever this guy was thinking, he no longer wanted to know. "...KUKUKU. If Giroro admits to Natsumi that he loves her, I don't think Natsumi would like me playing around with him anymore. So if you lose this bet..." Kululu paused for dramatic effect. "...a new guinea pig."
Tamama felt his heart stop. This guy wanted him to replace Giroro as his test monkey?!
'Is he crazy?!' Tamama thought. '...Oh, that's a stupid question!'
Tamama had seen or just heard rumors of what Kululu does to Giroro just for fun, and most of it sounds like something from horror movies. A mad scientist testing crazy, unnatural, and evil experiments on his subjects. Which is where the horror part comes in. He didn't want to be anywhere near to involved in one of Kululu's weird experiments. But that candy was so tempting. And getting Momoka to admit her crush on Fuyuki wouldn't be that hard, would it? So as much as it pained him to do it, he made his decision.
"Alright, Kululu! You're on!" Tamama said. Kululu nodded at his Private's decision and reach out his yellow hand for Tamama's.
'This guy doesn't know who he's messing with! One way or another, I always get what I want!' Tamama thought as he squinted his eyelids at Kululu, who made no expression back.
'KUKUKUKU! This is gonna be fun!' Kululu thought to himself as well.
They shook hands, and the bet that would change everything in the Hinata house forever, plus many more hideous mishaps, begun.
A lot of crazy things are coming! If anyone has an idea for a scheme to pull on either Giroro or Momoka to get them to reveal their love, let me know! Until then, see you next chapter!
